Prince of Tennis: Ryoma's sister in Hyotei

"Xiao Ge, how are you?"

Long Ge opened his eyes slightly, and Jibe's face instantly came into view.

"Atobe..? Why are you here? Why are you all here? What's wrong with me?"

Long Ge sat up from his chair.

I stared blankly at the group of people in front of me looking at me with different expressions.

My mind is in chaos and a memory is vague.

"You don't remember? You were sent back by the Spanish captain. Don't you remember what happened during that time?"

Senior Liu talked about the experience of Long Ge being brought back, trying to awaken Long Ge's lost memories.

Long Ge shook his head.

I don't really remember what happened in between.

"Hmm? Is this intermittent amnesia? Or? Long Ge, what do you think this is?"

Senior Qian stretched out his fingers and waved them in front of Long Ge.

I had just woken up and had a headache, and when I saw Senior Qian's fingers shaking non-stop, I felt even more annoyed.

He immediately grabbed Senior Qian's fingers and twisted them.

"Ahhhhh! My fingers!"

Senior Qian's scream, like a pig being slaughtered, came.

"I just have a headache, and you're treating me like a fool."

Can not remember?

Atobe vaguely remembered that something similar had happened before.

What did Xiaoge do?

"Wait! Isn't it the competition period now? Atobe, you?"

Long Ge suddenly came back to his senses and thought about the competition.

Atobe gave a relieved and confident smile.

"I will take action naturally, and the victory belongs to me."

Atobe was as proud as a peacock, radiating his charm.

Of course it was directed at Long Ge.

"Pfft! It's a good thing Echizen wasn't there at the time. If he had seen your miserable state, tsk tsk tsk."

Irie teases Atobe whenever he gets the chance.

But it is undeniable that Atobe played a beautiful game in the first round.

The Japanese team set out to win the championship.

"Really? I won, after all, there's nothing that Atobe can't do."

Long Ge’s smile was as beautiful as a flower.

I'm really happy for Atobe.

"Hey, hey, hey, the sour smell of love is coming out. Please consider the feelings of the seniors."

Irie, who was their best friend, interrupted their affectionate gaze with a smile.

Feeling something was wrong, Jibe squatted in front of Longge.

Although Xiaoge has always been a gentle and lovely person in his heart, she is too quiet now.

"Are you really okay, Xiaoge?"

Long Ge pressed his head again.

I don't quite remember what happened.

The memory is confused.

"Probably."

Even Long Ge himself was not sure.

"Echizen, come out for a moment."

Byodoin called out to Long Ge, whose thoughts were in a state of confusion.

Long Ge pointed at himself uncertainly.

"What about me?"

Byodoin strode away towards the exit, and Long Ge, who was a few seconds late, followed.

The Natural History Department will not leave Long Ge alone now.

Byodoin Temple made its way through the crowded crowd and arrived at the nearest practice ground outside the venue.

It was easy to find the devastated training ground.

There are staff guarding the perimeter and carrying out maintenance.

Try to communicate with them in English.

"Excuse me, there's been a really intense match going on here.

For safety reasons, if you want to practice, you can move to another practice area."

"How is this going?"

The first thing that came to his mind was to keep Long Ge behind him, for fear that any flying debris would hurt Long Ge.

When Byodoin saw this scene, it immediately understood what had happened.

"You competed against Ryuga Echizen."

Byodoin's tone was almost affirmative.

Long Ge touched his head, it was blank and he couldn't remember anything.

"Maybe... probably..."

The tragic scene on the tennis court just now must have been caused by her.

In Byodoin Temple, Atobe and his partner surrounded Long Ge, one on each side, and looked him around.

It seemed that he didn't notice anything wrong, but he could clearly feel that something was wrong.

Long Ge sat absentmindedly on the bench as the two men looked him over.

If it is according to Byodoin, I have no impression of it.

My own tennis...

It seems that I can vaguely feel the abnormal reaction of my body.

Byodoin touched his chin and said something shocking.

"Can you still play tennis?"

Long Ge looked at Pingdengyuan as if it were a fool.

"I just forgot what happened in between, I'm not stupid.

I've been practicing tennis since I was a kid, how could I suddenly stop playing...

It shouldn’t be that bad…”

There was clarity in Long Ge's eyes, and the more he spoke, the less confident he became.

……

"Instead of worrying about it here, why not try it and you'll know."

Atobe pointed to the many empty training grounds nearby.

Now it’s the finals period and everyone is busy watching the game. Even those who haven’t bought tickets are crowding in front of the big screen, looking forward to the final result of this world-class competition.

As a result, the training ground that usually attracts many people is now deserted.

Not long after, Byodoin got two rackets from somewhere and threw them up, and the balls landed accurately into the dragon singer's mouth.

"Come on, give it a try. I hope it's not what I thought."

There is no time to ask them to find a female representative who can match Echizen Ryuka.

Byodoin put the racket on his shoulder and glanced sharply at the guy who was still slacking off.

Long Ge tapped the racket and stared at every movement of the racket strings.

He seemed to be in a state of absent-mindedness.

Atobe placed his hand lightly on Long Ge's shoulder, applying a little force to get the girl's attention.

"Ok?"

Long Ge, who was still immersed in his own world, looked up blankly.

I saw Byodoin Temple waiting impatiently across from me.

"Haha, sorry, I was lost in thought. Come on, come on, it seems like I've never had a proper match with Byodoin-senpai."

After coming out of the training camp, I haven't had the opportunity to compete.

Every day, Long Ge spends most of his time accompanying Tezuka in training.

Otherwise, I am busy building basic understanding with my partner for the next day.

This is the first time I've competed so seriously.

"Then I'd appreciate your guidance, Senior from Byodoin."

Long Ge's polite words had just fallen.

"Oh!"

A powerful serve flew past Long Ge and hit the iron net behind him.

?

Long Ge narrowed his eyes. Are you playing so seriously?

"If you're not serious, you won't survive the World Championship, no matter how great your previous status was.

Come and try it, and see how your former professional skills can surprise me."

Byodoin squeezed the ball so hard that it was deformed.

The next moment, he relaxed completely, and the ball in his hand emitted a familiar dazzling light.

Byodoin swung the racket, shouted loudly, and hit the ball out.

The serve, shining like the sun's rays, approached Long Ge rapidly.

Long Ge hesitated to move.

"Xiao Ge!"

Atobe, who was watching the game from the sidelines, shouted anxiously.

"What an impatient fellow."

Byodoin hummed softly.

Long Ge was trying to move his body, but for some reason he felt extremely tired.

Perhaps it was the damage done to the body by using the Alaya consciousness.

Even powerful players like Akutsu and Byodoin were unable to escape from the Alaya-vijnana intact.

What's more, she is a "weak" girl.

But Long Ge did not recall what happened at that time.

I just cursed Long Ya in my heart.

What on earth did Chou Longya do? Why did his body feel so weak?

If I were hit hard by this ball, I would probably not be able to stand up.

And she found that when she tried to catch the ball with perfect strength, her body did not respond at all.

After a brief moment of daze, Long Ge thought quickly and faced him head-on, under the anxious gaze of Jibe.

Long Ge's racket carried the tennis ball and spun it in his hand, reducing the force of the light hitting the ball so that it could never be hit back.

Such clever behavior made Byodoin look at him differently.

The competition continued, and all the world skills displayed by Pingdengyuan were cleverly resolved by Long Ge without exception.

For a moment, even Byodoin couldn't tell whether this guy really competed with Echizen Ryuga?

As the game progressed, Byodoin and Atobe realized that something was wrong.

Her tennis skills have always been good, there's no denying that, but she hasn't used those moves in so long.

It's just not her style.

Even the disappearing serve that she always liked to tease people with, the mirage, never appeared once.

The flawless function has never been used since the beginning.

You have to know that Long Ge's seamless understanding and ease of use are enough to support her in completing the entire race.

Long Ya can devour other people's tennis balls, but she cannot deprive others of the tennis results they have practiced since childhood.

Even if Long Ge cannot display his tennis skills, he can still rely on the tennis he has learned since childhood.

On the field, the fight with the injured Byodoin was evenly matched.

The injured Byodoin narrowed his eyes, and was completely certain that this girl was going to challenge Echizen Ryuga in a duel.

The outcome is unknown, but there is a piece of news that is very unfavorable to them. The tennis ball played by Echizen Ryuga was swallowed by Echizen Ryuya.

Confirming his guess, Byodoin was surprisingly calm.

Instead of complaining about the situation, it is better to think about how to win the final doubles match under such circumstances.

It would be best if the match could be finished before doubles two.

But now, Echizen Ryuga has not yet played, and no one can guess what the opponent is thinking.

And the match between the two before this.

The evenly matched fight with the injured Edo-in did not make Long Ge feel very happy, but instead made him feel restless inside.

It shouldn't be like this. Even if my tennis skills haven't improved much, I shouldn't be suppressed by the current Byodoin.

In Atobe's eyes, perhaps the two of them are still evenly matched.

But only Long Ge, who had experienced that game in the training camp, knew it clearly.

The tennis displayed at Byodoin Temple today is not much different from what it was back then.

Long Ge became restless, his flaws were visible to the naked eye, and his movements became redundant.

Originally, those tennis skills were as easy as breathing and drinking water for her.

Now it has become a huge challenge that she can't complete.

My heart is filled with anxiety and fear.

My mind is full of defeating the Byodoin Temple on the opposite side.

Byodoin hit Long Ge's ball back with almost no effort.

Wait for Byodoin to hit the light shot again.

This time, Long Ge, whose heart was in turmoil, could no longer react as quickly as before.

Choose to face the power of Byodoin's light strike head-on.

"Xiao Ge!"

Atobe spoke anxiously.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Long Ge's racket was knocked away.

The ball passed through the racket and was firmly fixed on the dilapidated iron net behind him.

"Xiao Ge, how are you?"

Atobe was worried about the exit and wanted to run over to take a look, but was stopped by Long Ge.

"Don't come over here! Keep going!"

Long Ge stopped Ji Bu's steps with a stern voice, feeling overwhelmed by the shame of having his racket knocked away.

this...

Jibe had never seen Long Ge be so eager for quick success and so uneasy.

Byodoin put away the racket.

"You can't even protect your racket, and you still want to continue the game? That's simply wishful thinking.

You have too many distracting thoughts in your mind and are full of flaws, Echizen. If this continues, not only me but anyone can successfully defeat you as you are now.

Think about it carefully. The game is about to start. Even if you don't have amazing tennis skills, you should at least have the right mindset.

Keep an eye on her and wait for her to come back after she has thought it through."

Before Byodoin left the practice field with his racket, he did not forget to give instructions to Atobe.

Byodoin clearly felt that Echizen had distracting thoughts during the game.

Perhaps it was the frustration and anxiety after the tennis ball was swallowed by Ryuga Echizen.

Long Ge stood there for a long time, thinking about what Pingdengyuan said.

I have too many distracting thoughts...

Atobe stayed quietly by his side.

Until Long Ge could no longer accept himself like this, he wandered around helplessly, trying to find back the racket that was hit away by Byodoin.

I kept regretting why I went to compete with Long Ya.

She had forgotten her original purpose and was left with only self-blame.

"Xiao Ge!"

Atobe strode over, held the person in his arms and comforted him.

My heart, feeling truly comforted, instantly fell apart.

Long Ge could no longer hold back her tears in Jibe's arms, blaming herself loudly.

"Atobe, what should I do... my tennis ball, I can never... I can never play tennis like before again.

I don’t remember why I went to Longya to compete, and why I didn’t wait until after the competition. I don’t remember.

I'm sorry, Atobe, I wanted the Japanese team to win, but what did I do? "

Thinking that he might not be able to compete and that the Japanese team would have regrets in doubles two, Long Ge completely collapsed.

Tebe gently wiped the tears from Long Ge's face and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry, with me here, any problem can be solved.

You have to believe us, we are the best contestants selected from among the Japanese representatives through layers of competition.

We can definitely win.

These are not your sole responsibility, don't worry, it's okay."

Atobe carefully comforted and persuaded Long Ge word by word.

"But…"

Long Ge couldn't let it go.

"Xiaoge, I believe we can win. Even if you still need to play in the end, I believe in your ability.

You are the most amazing person in our Ice Emperor. You led us to win the national championship and now you have led us to the finals of the world championship. "

In Jibe's heart, Long Ge will always be the most amazing and strongest player.

This was a vulnerable side of Long Ge that Jibe had never seen before.

Long Ge was comforted by Tezuka and slowly calmed down, leaning in Tezuka's arms.

Feeling this unprecedented peace of mind.
