Oreki Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard Yukimura's heartfelt words.

After realizing this, he couldn't help but complain to himself in his heart. He was a grown man who was almost 30 years old, but he was made to blush by another young boy. What was this?

He coughed and said:

"In that case, let's get started. The training I'm talking about is not just for this day. We're going to have 500 training matches every day until the national competition begins. Are you... okay with that?"

"Come on, no matter how hard it is, I will persevere!"

Because compared to this, not being able to walk side by side is what hurts me the most...

Oreki Yu chuckled and said seriously:

"If you are ready, then let's start. Don't worry, even if the success rate is low, I will always be with you until the day you break out of the ground again..."

......

A week later, Tokyo, Youth Academy.

On this day, a hooded boy came to the tennis club and stopped Kunimitsu Tezuka on his way to the tennis club.

"Are you Tezuka Kunimitsu?"

"you are?"

"My name is Echizen Ryuga. I heard that among the junior high school students in Kanto, your tennis skills are among the best. How about a match?"

Tezuka looked directly into Echizen Ryuga's eyes for three seconds before speaking calmly:

"Allow me to refuse. Your eyes are full of aggression. I think your purpose is not to compete with me in ball skills, but to have other intentions."

Echizen Ryuga frowned and said:

"Why, are you scared too? I say, are all the people in Kanto cowards? They don't even dare to play a game?"

"Hey, how can you talk like that! Since you want to fight, I'll accompany you!"

Behind Tezuka, Kikumaru Eiji became angry when he heard this.

But at this time, Tezuka reached out to stop Kikumaru. He looked at Echizen Ryuga calmly and said:

"I heard that the son of God in Kanagawa lost his tennis some time ago, and his level has dropped drastically. The reason for all this started with a mysterious man with a hood. If I'm not mistaken, this person should be you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Kikumaru's pupils shrank suddenly, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but shrink back behind Tezuka.

"So you're the one who swallowed Yukimura Seiichi's tennis ball. It was a close call... I almost fell for your trick."

Upon hearing this, Echizen Ryuga couldn't help but look somewhat helpless.

"This news spread too fast, didn't it? That's terrible. Looks like we have to move to another place. Is China our next stop?..."

Tezuka was silent for a while, then said:

"Although I am also curious about your strength, the national competition is approaching and I don't want to lose my tennis ball. Let's talk about it later when there is a chance."

Upon hearing this, Echizen Ryuga showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Tsk~ You know my tennis, but you still want to play with me? It seems that what that guy named Yukimura said was right...

Well, I'll wait a little longer. Before I come to see you again, you should make yourself stronger. This way, it will be more interesting~"

After saying this, Echizen Ryoga turned around and left in a cool manner without any hesitation.

In the back, Kikumaru said with some fear:

"I didn't expect this scary guy to come to Qingxue. I was really scared. Fortunately, you know his background, Minister, otherwise he would have succeeded!"

Tezuka watched Echizen Ryuga leave and said slowly:

"In fact, I also met Nanjiro-senpai by chance, and he reminded me that he was also Nanjiro-senpai's child."

"What? He is actually the child of that senior?"

Kikumaru Eiji showed an expression of disbelief.

Tezuka continued:

"He should be the same age as us this year, but even so, he already has the ability to travel around the world. Now, I'm afraid he has devoured many people's tennis balls."

"How terrifying! I heard that he can also use the ball skills he swallowed for his own benefit. Doesn't that mean he is invincible?"

Tezuka remained noncommittal.

"There is no absolute invincibility in the world of tennis. Everyone has weaknesses. We just can't see them because of our narrow vision."

"Hmm... It feels so profound. I don't quite understand it."

"In short, there are always people who are better than you. This road is still very long. For now, let's focus on the national competition."

"Tezuka, I heard that this guy's target is the 'ghost hand' Oreki Yu. If the two of them really fight, who will be more powerful?"

Tezuka looked up in the direction of Kansai, was silent for two seconds, and said:

"Oreki Yuu, but he'll probably lose his tennis ball, too."

......

"Really, I wasted more than a month of my time."

At the Tokyo Airport, Echizen Ryuga had an unhappy look on his face. He had just bought a plane ticket to China and was now waiting for the departure time.

At this time, a somewhat joking voice came from the side.

"Why do you look so dejected? Did you lose the game?"

"What are you talking about? How could I lose? They are the ones who don't dare to compete with me."

"Oh, is that true?"

When Echizen Ryoma heard this, he was silent for a moment, then said irritably:

"What else can I do? I went to challenge that guy a long time ago, but he never agreed. What else can I do? I can only find someone else to do it!"

"Why are you pretending in front of me? I watched you grow up. Do you really think you can fool me? Hahaha~"

Echizen Ryoma rolled his eyes, turned his head away, and said with an unhappy look:

"Okay, okay, I admit that I'm scared. Do you really have to puncture your son's tires before you stop?"

Nanjiro shook his head and said meaningfully:

"In fact, I expected you to be afraid. After all, you can't block that guy's knife with your current strength. You should have seen it before, right?"

"Well... I've seen him twice, but he should have held back the first time. If I had used my racket to catch the second blow, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to protect my hands..."

Nanjiro couldn't help but laugh playfully.

It was the first time he saw this kid looking so frustrated. He had been relying on his great basketball skills and was overconfident every day. This time, he really dampened his enthusiasm.

"If you know how powerful you are, then hone yourself. There are always people who are better than you. This is not the first time I've told you this, right?"

"You're so long-winded. When did you become an old man?"

Echizen Ryuya said somewhat dissatisfiedly, then he looked at the time and found that the plane was about to take off, so he packed his luggage and prepared to board the plane.

"You little brat, don't you plan on staying?"

Echizen Ryoma paused, as if hesitating for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile:

"What's the point of staying here? My path is not here but in the world. I'll come back next time. I'll be stronger. By then, I'll take that blow completely!"
