The Deceiver's Lair

Now that he has agreed to be a foreign aid for the Matshang Sports Club, there is no need to delay the practice, after all, the day of the competition is not far away.

"No problem! Towa-san's quality is top-notch!"

Nagashima Nakaka gave a thumbs up after seeing what Towa could do to the maximum, and said.

"What we need to do now is to familiarize ourselves with the skills and tricks needed for the competition, but it's no problem, if you practice hard, Tou and San will definitely be able to learn it soon."

Since it is a competition, of course it is necessary to make tricks and movements that are appreciated by the public. Juhe only has the purest fighting skills. Of course, he cannot expect to win the favor of the audience with such movements. Instead, he must train harder and be familiar with the mat. Regular movement of movement.

Shihe couldn't help but feel powerless at the thought of having to put himself in such a troublesome situation for no reason, but he agreed to everything, so he had to go all out.

So from this day on, Towa no longer reported to the tennis club after school, but went to the Mat Sports Club to receive the guidance of Nagashima Nakaka, and every time the dusk and sunset came, he was ready to set foot on the way home.

Fortunately, Toho has been trained by Li Baoen's demons since he was a child, so he can walk out of the gymnasium briskly with his bag on his back, otherwise, for ordinary people, he might look sleepy and exhausted.

On the way from the gymnasium to the school gate, you will pass the tennis court. Although the tennis club of Rikkai University has strict training, it is not too late to let people go. But these days, Juhe always sees Nioh and Kirihara staying behind. Special training.

"Masaji──" Shihe walked down the embankment, and came to King Ni while the two of them were resting and drinking water. "What are you doing? I can see the two of you practicing at this late hour."

"Help our lovely junior develop new moves to deal with left-handers."

It was only then that Towa remembered that the intensive dormitory for teenagers was about to start recently, and Sanada, Yanagi, and Kirihara were also about to gather there.

"Oh, aren't you afraid that you will be crushed to death by this trick?" Shihe finally seized the opportunity to tease Nioh.

"Who do you think I am?" Nioh proudly replied with his pocket in his pocket. "It's too early for Kelphead junior to surpass me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kirihara, who was wiping his sweat with a towel, ran over. He looked at Towa, who had just sweated all over, and was still wearing a tracksuit, and said.

"Oh? Asahi-senpai, is practice over?"

"Yeah, I'm getting ready to go home."

Towa turned sideways and showed Kirihara the schoolbag in his hand, proving the truth of what he just said.

"That's right." Kirihara suddenly clenched a fist with one hand and pointed at the palm of the other hand, seeming to have suddenly remembered something, and said, "I don't know when Senior Asahi's match is, and I said before that I was going to cheer for Senior. .”

Towa was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Nioh on the side say, "Hmm...it seems to be the same day as the Japan-US Open."

"Oh?" Kirihara scratched his head, and said arrogantly, seemingly innocently and practically: "Then you can't cheer for senior, because I will definitely be selected."

Towa couldn't help scratching Kirihara's curly hair a little. "Are you really confident?"

Kirihara smiled and pointed his thumb back at himself, saying, "Hey, that's it!"

Shihe looked helpless, which was not a compliment.

"Okay, okay!" Towa waved his hand indifferently, "Masaji and you don't need it anymore, so go cheer Kirihara and the others. You are also more interested in the tennis game, maybe you can learn something."

"Are you sure?" Nioh stretched out his hand and put it on Juwa's shoulder. "Master Knight, don't be afraid of hardships, come here to cheer for Her Royal Highness!"

Towa slapped Nio's arm off without hesitation. "No need, Master Knight should pay attention to your tennis game, I am afraid that if you are not careful, Master Knight will be killed by someone."

Besides, Yukimura has said so, is there another way to go besides winning the championship?

"Obey, Your Royal Highness." King Ni seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and the play was performed with great joy.

Kirihara stared blankly at the interaction between the two, not even noticing that the towel in his hand had fallen off.

Afterwards, the Japan-U.S. Open ended perfectly with Japan's victory, and Towa also successfully helped the Matshang Sports Club win their first championship in three years, retired and returned to the tennis department to continue working as a manager.

Kirihara injured his shoulder during the Japan-U.S. open match, which is a serious matter for athletes, but fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he was finally able to return to the court after a period of recuperation.

At the same time, Yukimura was also discharged from the hospital. His rehabilitation was very successful, and he succeeded in creating a miracle. The doctor thought that it would be difficult for Yukimura to continue playing tennis, but he proved that he had the ability to hold the racket again.

The members were all very happy with Yukimura's return, and of course, so was Yukimura himself, he said with a smile.

"Hehe, I think it won't happen again that Sanada loses to a first-year boy."

Sanada: "..."

After Yukimura came back, the tennis club's training became more stringent, so strict that everyone seemed to be a little bit overwhelmed. Everyone felt that something had changed in Yukimura.

As a result, Shihe heard a lot of comments, saying that the recent tennis club made people feel particularly uncomfortable, not just the increased training that made them feel overwhelmed. After all, the Lihai Tennis Club has always maintained strict training. Without such awareness, I left as early as when I first joined the tennis club.

What really disturbed them was that something seemed to be unknowingly deviating from the track and gradually changing the tone.

Although I know that many members complained like this in private, Towa didn't hear a single word about this from the main candidates, but maybe it was because they felt guilty towards Yukimura, and they lost in the preliminary round of the Kanto Tournament. It was given to Aigaku, and more than half of the reason why Yukimura became what he is now is because they failed to keep their promise to Yukimura, so they have no position to say anything, even if they feel that winning tennis is not happy.

But Towa thinks that there is nothing strange about Yukimura's approach. Since she participated in the competition, it is natural to win. To win, the process and means are not important. The important thing is the result. These are what she has been taught and implemented for more than ten years. concept.

It's just that Shihe didn't understand, why did he feel such a little sense of disobedience?

This is obviously a normal thing, but why do other members and even Nioh feel uneasy and unhappy?

Juhe didn't find the answer to this question until Li Haida entered the final of the national competition.

In the third singles, Sanada faced Tezuka.

Undoubtedly, this is definitely a high-level match. Sanada directly used Fenglin volcano not long after the opening, and Tezuka returned to Tezuka not to be outdone. After scoring, it wasn't until Tezuka put out a lot of hard work and his talent was radiant, and Sanada also untied his seal, Fenglin Huoyinshanlei, that the balance began to tilt.

Tezuka, who couldn't break Sanada Yin and Lei, was always at a disadvantage no matter what kind of moves he used, and Sanada kept scoring points. This situation continued until 4-0, but just when everyone thought Tezuka was powerless to parry, he However, he suddenly used Tezuka Phantom, and used the spinning force to eject all of Sanada's balls out of the field, and started a counterattack.

It's just that this Tezuka Phantom seems to have caused a great burden on Tezuka's body. According to the conversations from the members of the Seigaku reserve area opposite, Towa probably understood one or two things about this situation.

This move will bring a lot of burden to the arm, especially for Tezuka who had an old arm disease. If this continues, Tezuka may not be able to play tennis again for the rest of his life. Use it regardless.

However, Kirihara noticed something was wrong with Sanada, "Deputy Director Sanada?"

"Overdrive Thunder."

"Uh?"

Kirihara looked at Yukimura who spoke out in confusion, and the latter continued.

"Ray relies on intense leg movements, which is a divine skill, and since he uses it continuously, his legs are of course at their limit."

Nioh came to a conclusion, "So if this goes on like this, Sanada won't be good."

Sanada himself should understand this, but he is still the same as Tezuka, whether it is for himself or for his teammates, the two inherit each other's consciousness and confront each other head-on.

Then it was finally a few minutes into the intermission, and the two of them returned to the rest area with their hands and legs that were almost at their limit. Taking advantage of these few minutes, Towa immediately applied ice to Sanada, although she didn't think it was going to happen now. What can it do.

The teammates of Qinggaku on the opposite side kept cheering for Tezuka. Although they all felt unbearable and distressed for Tezuka, they still supported Tezuka in their own way. On the other hand, Yukimura wanted Sanada to give up the confrontation, Sanada to give up The samurai spirit he was proud of, Towa thought, to Sanada, was like a cowardly rat avoiding Tezuka's head-on challenge.

Seeing Sanada's complex expressions of astonishment, anger, and injury, at this moment, Towa suddenly realized what the sense of disobedience he had been unable to understand before.

When did it start that I became an indifferent and cold person who only cares about the result and doesn't care about the process or other people's feelings?

Just like at this moment, before Yukimura spoke to Sanada, for Sanada and Tezuka, who were clearly fighting for their beliefs, she only cared about which side would win in the end, and she even felt the same as Yukimura. Sanada is not smart enough.

It wasn't until she saw Sanada's expression that she suddenly realized that this kind of herself was so bad, and for more than ten years, she had always taken it for granted, like an indifferent outsider planning a chess game, unknowingly using this Use this attitude to face people and things around you.

Thinking of this, Towa couldn't help but look at Qingxue opposite again. They might not be able to guarantee that everything would be as they hoped, and they might not be able to achieve a perfect ending, but they made the most sincere and happiest choice without any regrets.

That's why, recently, the team members feel uncomfortable and uneasy, because Li Hai has lost the most important thing at this time, the pure feeling of loving tennis and playing tennis, and working hard just because he likes it.

Aside from learning that Nioh was implicated because of him ten years later, he never showed a fragile Towa, and at this moment he actually felt sad.

So she raised her head and tried to open her eyes wide and looked at the sky.

It turns out...it's not that others are strange, but that I am different from everyone else.

She is the broken alien.
