[Comprehensive] First Love Trainee

It didn't take long for him to let go of his heart, but he brought it up again because Atobe pointed out that Tezuka's elbow was injured. More importantly, this news was confirmed by Oishi.

Maki didn't pay attention to the cause and effect, even if Dashi said that the injury had fully healed, Maki didn't really feel relieved.Her mother is a professor in the university's medical department. She has some knowledge about sports injuries, so she can't be as optimistic as other team members.

The terrible thing about most sports injuries is not the severity of the injury, but the need for good maintenance, otherwise it is very easy to cause recurring strain injuries, and the reality will soon develop as Maki fears-this game has become There was a tug of war.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous, steady and steady, Tezuka Kunimitsu's playing style is just like his character, attracting the opponent's offensive into his own field, and then counterattacking one by one.No matter how enthusiastic the atmosphere in the auditorium was, no matter how the players behind him reacted, he was unwavering, and he unreservedly exerted his full strength on the field, slowly bringing this stalemate game to the end.

He didn't look at the auditorium once, facing Atobe's aggressive provocation, he chose the protracted war without hesitation amidst everyone's astonishment.In the sun, the tips of his tea-brown hair shook off crystal beads of sweat from running, and every swing brought out a powerful wind sound.But no matter whether he scored or fell behind, his eyes always contained a sharp fighting spirit.

Compared with his own health and future, Tezuka Kunimitsu, as a minister, accepted the challenge in this way and chose the victory of the group.For this, he is doing his best.

Obviously the whole stadium is noisy and shouting loudly, the sound of the referee reporting the score resounds through the loudspeaker, and the other team members of Seigaku around him are still talking loudly, but these are all from Maki's mind and eyes They all withdrew, leaving only the only figure in sight.Her body was tightly attached to the railing of the stand, and she had already leaned forward a little before she knew it. She was engrossed in watching the game on the field, and she couldn't take care of the initial worries about Tetsuka's old injury in her heart. Follow the man's footsteps and every swing, watching him narrowly approach the end of victory in the passage of time.

There was no longer any extra thoughts, only one thought left - hope he can win.

For himself, but also for the Qingxue he chose.

When Tezuka's match point came, Maki almost let out a long breath.

There is also the last goal. Judging from Tezuka's performance so far, the goddess of victory has almost come to his side. On the other hand, the other players of Qingxue seem to think so, and everyone's expression looks a little relaxed.

Therefore, the moment the racket landed, Maki's expression was completely dazed.

Taocheng, who was the first to react, leaped into the arena with one hand supporting the stands, and was about to run over to check on Tezuka's situation when he stopped him loudly.Zhen Ji saw that his right hand was clutching his left shoulder, his whole face was extremely pale due to the pain, even a tough person like him half-kneeled on the ground under such severe pain.

Unknowingly, her hands had tightly clenched the railing of the stand, cold and sticky sweat leaked from her palms, and she didn't realize that she was already trembling all over.She watched Tezuka pick up the dropped racket and returned to the sidelines to spray medicine and take a break, watched Oishi try to stop the boy who still wanted to continue the game, but in the end he couldn't overcome the man's stubbornness, and watched him start again. Standing on the field and facing a strong enemy, he clenched his lips tightly.

The injured arm was clearly in severe pain, and Maki could catch Tezuka's frown with every swing.Except for hitting the ball, his hand was hanging down, and it was obvious that he couldn't exert any more effort, but even so, his face didn't waver even for a second.

Tasting the taste of rust on the tip of her tongue, Shinji suddenly realized that she had bitten her lip at some point under excessive tension.

The game was still in full swing, and Atobe quickly recovered the game from behind, and the game entered the tiebreaker.

It is still a protracted battle, no one is willing to give up the last two points, and the score is rising alternately under such circumstances.

Corresponding to this stalemate scene is the silent auditorium.No one spoke anymore, only the sound of the racket hitting the ball and the referee reporting the score could be heard. The two players on the field were obviously exhausted and sweating profusely after several hours of fierce fighting, but neither of them had a moment of weakness and give up.

This is the first time Maki felt that tennis was such a cruel sport.

Watching Tezuka Kunimitsu's game is such a painful experience.

She couldn't admire Tezuka's choice like other players, nor could she admire Tezuka's courage like the reporter named Inoue.Seeing that man running and fighting back on the field, seeing him enduring the severe pain but never giving up, seeing him and Atobe doing their best for the two points that determine the victory, she suddenly hated Atobe deeply. Come.

If he hadn't taken advantage of Tezuka's old injury and deliberately caused such a stalemate, Tezuka would not have been dragged down by the protracted battle, would not have had to block the future of his tennis career, and would not have experienced such a brutal and bloody battle .

Maki also can't understand what kind of responsibility it is that can make Tezuka pursue victory in a game regardless of his own health and future.What is he trying to achieve by doing this?Who else can understand him?

Knowing that his anger was unreasonable, and also understood that Atobe, as an opponent, had already given Tezuka the respect he deserved. Now, it is just because the two sides have different positions, and he was inexplicably angry for no reason, but looking at that person Maki couldn't help but hate the way she gritted her teeth in pain every time she hit back.

She silently looked at Echizen Ryoma's back on the coach's bench in the field, thinking about Oishi's saying that two months ago, Tezuka had a match with Echizen, and for some reason, she felt a little envious of this junior .

There is a person who has worked so hard to stimulate his potential, and now chooses such a path that is difficult to understand and cannot be recognized for the sake of the younger generation and the team. How brave, how noble, and how stupid.

Has this person never thought about himself from the beginning to the end?Could it be that in his heart, the team's victory once is more important than his own future in his life?Maki thinks she is usually a responsible person, but she can't understand Tezuka Kunimitsu's thoughts.

The arm that was trying to support it finally reached its limit, and the last ball hit the net and landed on Tezuka's side of the field. The referee announced the score loudly, and Tezuka lost.

Qingxue lost.

As the breeze blew, he lowered his hands, raised his face slightly, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply.

Do your best and have no regrets.

He can tell anyone that he doesn't regret the choice he made today.

Atobe admired sincerely: "It's really the best game!" The two fateful opponents shook hands in front of the net, and there was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience. A round of applause for the highest level of competition.In such an atmosphere, it seems that winning or losing is no longer important. Everyone is immersed in the stunts of the two, talking about the exciting scenes of the game, even Tezuka's seemingly incomprehensible choice It has become the reason for the admiration of teenagers.

Maki lowered her head, clenched her palms tightly, tried her best to endure the tears pouring out of her eyes, and quietly exited the auditorium where the heated discussion was going on.

She couldn't admire and understand his choice like his team members. Even knowing that he did it to realize his dream of leading everyone to win the national championship, it still couldn't alleviate the pain in Maki's heart.

If you love tennis so much, and want to win so much, why should you carry the victory or defeat of the team competition on your shoulders?Knowing how much that kind of play hurts oneself, knowing that the price of a game may be the future of a lifetime in the future.

Looking at Tezuka who apologized to his teammates for failing to win the game after the end of the game, and seeing Atobe who returned to the lounge chair and covered the towel without saying a word, for a moment, Maki felt that she was far away from their world .

Due to the big score being tied, the contestants will play the sixth singles game from the bench. Echizen Ryoma, who sat on the bench all afternoon, is full of energy and eager to try, while Momoshiro asks to accompany Echizen to warm up.Tezuka searched the stands calmly, but did not see Maki, and then glanced at the opposite side of the ice emperor's camp, only seeing Kaho Mizuki.

Noticing Tezuka's gaze, Fuji quickly understood who he was looking for, but he didn't know when Maki disappeared, he just remembered that she looked very worried when watching the game.

Although he was a little concerned, but the play-offs were about to start, Tezuka hesitated for a moment, and sat back on the coaching seat.This game is very important, and there can be no slack. As for Maki, Tezuka explained to himself that she might just go buy a drink.

Influenced by Tezuka, Echizen played very passionately in this match. Although Ice Emperor sent very good players, they were still quickly defeated by a big score. Qingxue won three wins, two losses and one draw, and advanced to the second round. However, Bingdi could only withdraw with regret, missing the national competition.

Everyone who won the game looked quite relaxed, but Tezuka still didn't see Maki, which made him feel a little abnormal.Asai Maki is a very polite girl, even if she has something to leave, she will definitely let her know. So far, she has been absent for at least one game, and she has not said anything yet. Tezuka is a little worried.

Even if I lost the game, I still have some resistance in my heart to let the girl who has a crush on me see my appearance, but I still can't let it go.Thinking of this, Tezuka declined Coach Ryuzaki's proposal to send him to the hospital, handed the tennis bag to Oishi, greeted everyone, and left the team.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

This game, in my understanding, has a unique meaning for both Tezuka and Atobe.

In fact, the two people are very similar people in essence, and they both have an unyielding inner attitude towards powerful enemies.It's just that Tezuka's performance is more restrained, while Atobe's performance is more impactful.But I always think that no matter how mature and stable Tezuka looks, he is just a 15-year-old boy. He has his own principles and persistence, but he also has his own waywardness.
