[Comprehensive] fleeting notebook

Atobe Keigo has always been famous in the Japanese middle school tennis world for his amazing insight, so although ordinary people can't see any problem with the first ball just now, Atobe still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

After the second ball was sent, Atobe barely moved, his eyes were not fixed on the trajectory of the ball, but on Bai Lan's every movement.

Not surprisingly, Bai Lan made another return quite smoothly, looking very relaxed.

Even though he was directly scored by the opponent with two consecutive serve returns, Atobe remained calm because...he seemed to have discovered something more interesting.

Prynne easily scored two points in a row, and directly scored four points in a row to break Atobe's first serve, 1-0.

"Great! Come on, classmate Jesso!"

"Ah! So handsome, Bai Lansang!"

When the field was changed after the first round, all the students of Odaiba Middle School shouted excitedly. They didn't expect to be able to win the round from the Ice Emperor.

Bai Lan, who was humming a little tune and seemed to be turning the racket in her hand quite relaxed and comfortably, turned her head to look at the audience area of ​​Odaiba Middle School. For a moment, her violet eyes showed an ethereal daze.

Why... everyone was so excited, the round just now... Was it great?Really, the eyes looking at him one by one, the pure excitement and enthusiasm, are too dazzling...

And the most dazzling... Those emerald eyes stared at him intently, with undisguised excitement and joy in their pupils.

The orange ponytail swayed back and forth as she jumped up a little with excitement, and gave him thumbs up with both hands.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, without any illusion or pretense, just in this atmosphere... He really wanted to laugh, just like this, simply laughing.

……

The two sides were in place, and the second game started, Bai Lan's serve.

Atobe stood still holding the racket, his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the last game, he noticed it at the first ball.The foreign boy who was facing him across the net seemed to have a lazy footsteps when he moved, but he always arrived at the precise position where the ball landed.He sent the ball, and then the opponent judged the trajectory of the ball to determine the direction and position of the movement... With that kind of lazy footsteps, it was too late.

So he specially observed the next three balls... When he threw the ball and took off, the opponent actually started to move slowly.In other words... the opponent does not need to judge the landing point based on the trajectory of the ball, but can accurately judge where the ball will fall just by observing his movements when serving the ball!

It's like a sophisticated evaluation instrument... What a terrifying guy.

Well, let him try this guy's serve...

Behind the baseline at the other end of the net, Bai Lan slapped the ball twice, thinking about how much power he would need to use for this ball... Hmm~ If he uses his own ability to hit a heavier and faster ball than that boy named Feng Changtaro just now If it is a cannonball serve, then the game will end too soon~ Well, it is decided, let's hit a tricky spot.

Toss, jump, swing, wide open corner serve.

Hmm~ Serve the ball with a tricky placement, so the opponent probably won't be able to catch it back... huh?

Bai Lan, who was already preparing to serve the next serve, opened her phoenix eyes a little bit. He didn't expect that young man named Keigo Atobe to run away quickly, and abruptly returned the almost unsolvable serve. !

Slightly caught off guard, Bai Lan subconsciously picked a high ball and went back.

But suddenly a sharp gaze appeared in the eyes of the trace department... He was waiting for this moment!

Atobe suddenly jumped up and hit the elevated ball with a swing.

The ball that was slapped back to Bai Lan's side precisely hit Bai Lan's right hand holding the racket, and the racket flew out in an instant.Due to the interaction of forces, the ball bounced back to Atobe.

"Rondo of Destruction!"

I saw that Atobe had already completed the second take-off, and when the ball returned to him, he swung his racket and smashed hard!Brilliantly scored a point!

"Wow! Atobe SAMA!"

"Atobe! Atobe!"

The Ice Emperor's support group has already cheered loudly, they didn't expect their emperor to use this trick so quickly.

Bai Lan was a little stunned for a moment... He had never seen this kind of tennis game. It was unexpected... Interesting.

The trick just now... must have extremely strong insight, precision and continuous jumping ability to complete, it is not easy.

That boy... is very unusual.

Holding the racket again, he actually had some small expectations, wanting to experience that move again.

……

After scoring four points in a row, Atobe quickly secured serve and the score was 1-1.

Although he won this round, Atobe felt that the process was not easy at all.He didn't expect that he would use the Rondo of Destruction so quickly, and he used it four times in a row.

He never knew that there would be such a strong player in Odaiba Middle School... Or, this is the power that jumped out of Japan and came from the world?Hmph, the world of tennis is really big.

Bai Lan also looked serious... He saw the fighting spirit and excitement in the young man's eyes, without the slightest fear or avoidance, um~ is this the "youth" that Xiaozheng said...

In the third game, after Atobe served, Bai Lan was still able to accurately grasp the ball's landing point and return the ball smoothly.

But Atobe no longer observed the opponent, and chased the ball with all his strength.Even if Prynne returns the ball very tricky, even hitting the corners, Atobe can run back and forth to defend with amazing physical fitness and speed, fully demonstrating his play style of an all-court adaptable player.

2-1, although the process was difficult, Atobe still managed to keep his serve.

"Come on, Bai Lansang!"

"Go! Bai Lansang! You can definitely do it!"

From the auditorium of Odaiba Junior High School, cheers and cheers poured in like a wave.

With those pure and enthusiastic gazes, Bai Lan once again felt...a deeper bewilderment deep in her heart.Especially when I clearly heard the cheers and cheers from Irie's leader, and saw her soaring glory...it's really dazzling...

This is the arena, not a time to be distracted, but at such a moment, thousands of thoughts floated through his mind.

What was his purpose for coming to this era in the first place, unknowingly, he didn't think about it for a long time.I just know that I have experienced many things with that girl in the past few months. To be honest, those things are really insignificant in the world he usually lives in and the life he has.But it was those insignificant things... that brought him new feelings time and time again.

"It is not this world that is beautiful, but your eyes that carry the beauty of this world"... This is what Xiaozheng said to him not long after he first met this world.

That's right, he participated in her life, and she led him to realize a new world... Then, before he knew it, this new world became a part of his life.

For example, now, he represents the school to fight against opponents, look, those familiar or vague faces around are cheering for him.There is also the persistence and passion in the eyes of the young man who is facing him across the net at this moment.

All of this...has already melted into his world.

His world, this newly added part without knowing it... Really, it's very interesting.

He turned his head and looked back at the girl who was staring at him with piercing eyes from outside the iron net. The corners of her mouth were raised, her long and narrow phoenix eyes were narrowed, and she smiled sincerely.

Turn around and start your own serve.

Then, in this rare and precious world, let him try to complete the game as an ordinary person.

……

Outside the iron net, Irie, who was watching the battle, saw Bai Lan smiling at her.

That was the first time she saw Bai Lan showing such a clear and bright smile... Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, and her face felt a little hot.

This guy... so there were times when he was so handsome...

Seeing the white-haired foreign boy with exquisite face and slender figure running, swinging and hitting the ball heartily on the court with a racket in his hand, he looked very happy and energetic.

Before, she only noticed that Mr. Atobe's fingers were very beautiful... Now looking at Bai Lan's hands holding the racket, they are also very beautiful, fair and slender.

Really, why didn't I notice it before... This cotton candy star is still quite handsome.

……

A hearty and exciting game, 7-5, Atobe won the victory, and Ice Emperor also won all five games and became the absolute winner of this practice match.

Although Bai Lan's motor nerves and agility of thinking are beyond ordinary people, but if he does not use his special abilities, just as an ordinary middle school student... after all, he is not the same sports and thinking talent who practiced tennis since he was a child. The opponent of the trace department.

However, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. It was a very exciting game, both sides played very well, that's enough, isn't it.

……

In the evening, on the steps of the stands next to the school playground——

Bai Lan quietly stared at the piece of paper in her hand, and fell silent after reading it.

"This is the supernatural event I've been trying to tell you before." Sitting beside him, Irie put his hands on his cheeks and said sullenly.

Bai Lan glanced at the content on the letter paper again, and couldn't even show her usual fake smile for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozheng's plan for ten years later has already started.What's more, Xiaozheng actually showed him, the target person, the letter that Xiaozheng wrote to her ten years later... Well~ if Xiaozheng ten years later knew, he would definitely have a stomachache.

"So, Xiaozheng, you've been studying so hard these days~ Then, Xiaozheng, do you want to save the world?" Bai Lan tried hard to put on that poker face made of smiling faces.

Irikawa shook his head with a chuckle, and under Bai Lan's surprised gaze, he snatched the letter paper and tore it into pieces neatly!

"In the beginning, I had a sense of mission to be the protagonist of jump, but these days I figured it out..." Irie stood up from the steps where he was sitting, and stretched his waist: "My life belongs to My own, my life does not need to be manipulated by the "me" ten years later. As for the future of this world... the so-called butterfly effect, a small event may change a lot, I don't believe that if I don't become a schoolmaster The world really has no future! I want to live in the way I think is beautiful, even if it is the future 'me', don't even think about ordering the current me, I still have my youth!"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Bai Lan didn't know why, but a never-before-seen emotion surged up in her heart... Touched?

"So... what does Xiaozheng mean?"

"Hmph, I am the master of my youth!"

……

A month later.

The focus of the Kanto Tournament, Aigaku VS Hyotei, the first singles, Tezuka Kunimitsu VS Atobe Keigo.

A thrilling tug-of-war, the two ministers who are the souls of both teams contributed the most shocking and regretless game for everyone present and for their youth.

In the first twelve rounds, the two sides drew 6-6. In the final tiebreaker, the two sides even fought to 36-34, and Atobe finally won the game in a thrilling manner.

At the end of the game, the audience was silent.

When the two ministers walked to the net and raised each other's hands with the utmost respect, the audience finally burst into thunderous applause.

"It's really, the best game ever."

This is true for these two people, and it is also true for the audience who watched this classic.

In the stands, the girl whose eyes were slightly filled with tears of emotion couldn't stop applauding for the two of them, and the white-haired boy standing beside him also smiled and applauded slowly.

When the applause faded away, Irie took a deep breath, turned around and greeted the people beside him: "Bai Lan, let's go."

"Eh? Xiaozheng, don't you want to watch the next play-off match?"

The girls watched the five matches between the two schools just now with great excitement. Both sides had two wins and two losses each, with a tie, so they had to add another singles game to decide which side would advance.Don't you want to see the final result?

"No, seeing this is enough." Irie smiled and shook his head.

That's right, in fact, the confrontation between the two schools has ended here.The next play-off match... To a greater extent, it was Xu Fei's intention to let the protagonist Echizen boy play, and to let Qingxue advance.

Bai Lan also seemed to understand some of Irie's thoughts, and followed with a smile: "Well, then let's go. The match just now was really exciting, exciting enough to make people ignore the outcome."

"That's right, that game is the real youth. Passion, persistence, responsibility, respect...all are mixed in youth, so...youth has no winners!"

There is no victory or defeat in youth, if you follow the path you think is correct, then youth itself is a splendid victory.
