[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

Chapter 15 Follow-up to the Kanto Contest

Yukimura ate Marui's cake for two days.Every time Yumi, the younger sister who drank the medicine, saw that Yukimura's face remained unchanged, so she had to leave regretfully so as not to affect Yukimura's rest, and then Yukimura locked the door and secretly took out the cake to appease his sense of taste. [It’s really well done, all the candies in the house have been taken away. ]

Sanada found out about Yukimura's fever on the third day. When he arrived at Yukimura's house, Anki told him specifically to let him watch Yukimura.

Sanada wanted to persuade Yukimura to take a rest in the morning training session on Sunday, so as not to really aggravate his condition, but Yukimura was quite stubborn and strong in tennis, and Sanada couldn't persuade him at all, so he had to give up.

[It was just basic training. ] Yukimura felt that he was already very measured, he is not a person who does not care about his body.

In the afternoon, Sanada and Yukimura rested on the rooftop garden.

There used to be some sundries piled up here, Yukimura greeted the seniors from the gardening department, moved some of the flowers and plants he raised here to take care of them, and planted some new ones.The scenery in the courtyard is quite good now.

"It's time to take your medicine, Yukimura." Sanada took out the hot water he had connected and handed it to Yukimura.

"The blue sauce is going well." Yukimura moved a pot of cornflowers down.Turn around and take the hot water and put it on the bench, and move the daisy beside it to a shaded place. "Shi Lang also replied."

"Yukimura."

"Hey, hey." Yukimura took out the medicine and took it with hot water, and then lay beside Sanada with his eyes closed.

There was silence in the courtyard.

[It's been a long time since we got along like this. ] Since Yukimura became a minister, he has been thinking about the tennis club even during his lunch break, and he relaxed his nerves a little after the Kanto Tournament.

Sanada looked at Yukimura silently. The dark green school uniform of suit style set off Yukimura's slender figure. His dark blue curly mid-length hair and good face made him look indistinguishable from male and female.

But Yukimura is not that kind of weak character, since childhood.

Sanada thought of Yukimura who was popular since childhood.Many people think that Sanada gets along with Yukimura and acts as a "flower protector".But Yukimura doesn't actually need and doesn't accept his protection, except for the accident on the open-air tennis court.Yukimura has no shortage of friends, but Sanada can't get along with others, even though he was a little cheerful when he was a child.Yukimura treats himself differently because of tennis, and gradually drifts away from other friends because of tennis. Most of their attitudes towards tennis are just "just for fun".Sanada cherishes the friendship between him and Yukimura.He insists on tennis, firstly because he really likes tennis; secondly, he doesn't want to be gradually alienated by Yukimura without any trace, just like Yukimura's former friends, even if they may meet now, Yukimura can still get along with them.

To unfamiliar people, Yukimura has always had a gentle face, decent words and deeds, tolerance, and tolerance; but when it comes to himself, he will joke, cross the distance like a child, and make troubles—for example, occasionally he will suddenly come close to him and stare; unhappy Sometimes he will tease him, and then send an "apology" ironically.Perhaps this can be called "disrespectful" and "unruly", but Sanada himself seems to enjoy it.

but--

Since when did they become such a slightly "subordinate" relationship?Probably after he lost to Yukimura again and again, although he still refused to admit defeat, he was still getting more and more courageous. He had already admitted in his heart that he would never be as good as Yukimura in tennis.So in tennis, he has become Yukimura's "subordinate", obeying Yukimura's expectations of him...

It's not that he didn't think about getting rid of Yukimura. In this case, he would still be a strong man and become the "king" in another place without Yukimura, just like Atobe.At first, Liu speculated that the chance of him joining Lihai with Yukimura was only 83%, and it was probably based on this.However, it doesn't matter if he upholds the samurai spirit and doesn't run away, or he still has the ambition to defeat Yukimura, he doesn't want to leave.

He thought he would always be "No.1" under Yukimura, but Tezuka woke him up. [It's just Tezuka. ] He comforted himself, but Fukuyama slapped him again. When Yukimura became the minister, he couldn't even become the "deputy".

That's why he hid himself under the hat, and didn't want Yukimura to see him clearly, whether it was disappointment or joy.He wanted to defeat Fukuyama and get the position of deputy minister in an upright manner; then he wanted to defeat Tezuka, and he would be ashamed!

Yukimura, who woke up, saw Sanada staring at him with a serious expression on his face.

"Sanada, there seems to be a mosquito on your face." Yukimura didn't wait for Sanada to react, and directly patted his face with his right hand.

"Snapped."

Sanada's serious expression instantly shattered.

"Okay, fly away." Yukimura waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go back to class."

"……what."

After Yukimura got a fever, he didn't know if he had turned on some switch, and he quickly pulled out the bar, and started the rapid growth of puberty, which made Yukimura very satisfied.The only thing that's a little bit lost is that Sanada is starting to grow too, so he's still about half a head shorter than Sanada.

Yukimura appeared at the window of Class B of the first year during the morning recess on the water day.

"Isn't that Yukimura-kun from Class C!"

"Yukimura-kun is quite handsome."

"What is Yukimura-kun doing in Class B?"

Marui, who was playing with Nioh at the back table, heard the high and low exclamations of the students in the class.

"Minister Yukimura?"

"Yukimura?" Nioh and Marui turned their heads to look at the corridor outside the window at the same time.

Yukimura also saw Marui on the seat, and he waved to Marui in the corridor, beckoning him to come over.

"Yukimura, is there something important that you came to Class B to find me?" Marui was a little apprehensive about his sudden visit through the window.

"It's not about tennis," Yukimura smiled, picked up the small box on his right hand, and pointed at Marui. "It's a return gift for you. Amarui's gift from the other day helped me a lot."

Marui accepted Yukimura's gift in return and returned to his seat, quite flattered. [Yukimura's return gift...] By the way, he sent away the Nioh Baimao who came over to gossip.

Afternoon training.

[Recently, King Ni seems to be a little cautious. ] Yukimura puts on his coat and supervises the training of the members.I don't know when Fukuyama started hooking up with Nioh. Fukuyama was very interested in Nioh's tricky tricks that he exposed from time to time, and the two seemed to have reached an agreement in private.

[Nioh probably wouldn't say anything, would he? ] Yukimura always felt a little uneasy, he thought it was necessary to sound the alarm for Nioh again.He usually takes good care of King Ni.Maybe in Nioh’s eyes, it’s because he broke Yukimura’s little secret, uh—although there are some factors in it, but it’s more because Nioh’s talent is good, he has a good understanding of tennis, and although he has been exposed to tennis It's not long, but I have subconsciously cultivated my tennis style and game style.In Yukimura's view, Nioh has a lot to offer.

Nioh finally finished his special menu, heaved a sigh of relief, relaxed his limbs, picked up the tennis bag and prepared to talk about life with Yagyu-kun he just met.Outsiders like Hyodi Ninzu can see the flaws in Lihai's current doubles, and Nio inside Lihai has no reason not to see it.He planned to play doubles with others to fight for a place to play next year, but he didn't see anyone in the tennis club, but Yagyu Hiroshi from the golf club.In his opinion, Yagyu's physical fitness is very suitable for playing tennis, and his always calm mental strength fits his playing style very well. His instantaneous explosive power is also high enough to hit high-speed power balls.

"Nioh." Fukuyama, who finished the practice match with Matsumoto, stopped him. "Come and play a game with me."

"puri." It seems that the plan will be postponed.

Fukuyama felt that this elementary school boy who received Yukimura's special attention was very suitable for him.Especially his keen insight in practice games and some "little tricks" used accordingly, combined with his white hair and braids, always reminded Fukuyama of foxes, although he just likes them.

"Why is it still so soft today, Nioh." Fukuyama, who had played a coaching match with Nioh again, reached out to rub his soft white hair while handing him water. "When will I be able to make seniors shine in my eyes?"

King Ren lowered his head and rolled his eyes quietly. [So I hate power players, especially those who are so cunning. ]

Many people will be deceived by Fukuyama's appearance and the style of play he showed at the beginning.Fukuyama's figure is not very muscular, but he is also tall. His body is also materialized, and with his short, neat brown hair, many people think he has a straightforward personality.And Fukuyama is also playing this way-a strong flat shot, or a crisp high-pressure shot.

But it wasn't until someone was able to compete back and forth with Fushan that he discovered that Fushan was the big fox among the lions.He can suddenly change his ball-returning strategy when you think you understand it completely, and stand up to you when you are wary and timid.Those who confront Fukuyama cannot judge what changes Fukuyama will make next, and being unable to predict means losing the opportunity, and losing the opportunity means that the rhythm is controlled by Fukuyama and ushers in failure.

Such people seem to be difficult to deal with, and in fact they are, except for Fujiwara.People called Fukuyama "Ghost Advisor" and Fujiwara "General".Fujiwara is a little taller than Fukuyama. Fujiwara, who usually wears long purple hair, looks gentle and elegant. When standing on the tennis court with his hair tied up, everything seems to be under his control.Fujiwara's style of play is stable, able to suppress Fukuyama's offensive, and is also extremely resistant to Fukuyama's psychological interference.And when Fukuyama changed his strategy, Fujiwara would also reveal his killer move, and he caught Fukuyama by surprise with a crucial goal.Like an ambush arranged by a calm general early on.

So if you want to defeat Fujiwara, you must either use an extremely wild style of play to completely tear apart Fujiwara's fundamental solid defense like Makinofuji's Byodoin last year; or, like Yukimura, be more cunning than Fujiwara and crush Fujiwara psychologically.

In the ministerial challenge, Fujiwara was really convinced by Yukimura, and Fukuyama was because of the conversation between him and Yukimura later.The two previous leaders were convinced by Yukimura, and the others naturally had no emotions, just like when Fujiwara took over last year.

Yukimura once had the idea of ​​doubles with Fukuyama, but was directly rejected by Fujiwara.He thinks this is a waste of "natural things". Even if Li Hai's main selection is really all singles players, it does not mean that Yukimura should condescend to go to doubles. This is not only a distribution of Li Hai's combat power, but also a rational consideration.Although they are only middle school, as the "kings" of Kanto, they must more or less bear the pressure of public opinion. As a minister, Yukimura must show strong singles strength, instead of smashing Lihai's "the strong are respected" signboard .

Similarly, in order to build momentum for the juniors in the national competition, Matsumoto and Takeda began to practice doubles on a large scale, leaving singles positions for the juniors.

After the final examination, the High School Attached to Lihai University ushered in the summer vacation of the first semester.The quasi-candidates of the tennis department also ushered in a full-day training session.

In the main selection qualifying match before the national competition, Marui and Kuwahara still failed to break through the strong formation of their predecessors, and they were still quasi main selection.And in the match against Fukuyama, Sanada showed a new undeveloped trick "Thunder"-a cutting ball with extremely fast speed and strange ball path, which surprised the quasi-finalists for a while.Unfortunately, this does not mean victory. After Sanada and Fukuyama stalemate until the tie-break, Sanada lost again and lost the game.And Liu is inferior to Sanada in strength, he is helpless against Sanada's "Thunder", so he is ranked behind Sanada.

After the qualifying competition for the main election within the department, Lihai University reported the list of main candidates, followed by the group draw for each school.Immediately afterwards, Lihai held a quasi-candidate meeting to discuss matters related to the national competition.

The author has something to say:

Yukimura should be someone who is only demanding in tennis, but he is usually quite easy-going.

In addition, I have been busy these days, and the manuscript is scheduled to be sent at 7 pm, but the comments cannot be replied in time.
