The Prince of Tennis - I'm Echizen Ryoma

Volume [-] volume song:

ah close your eyes

The feeling of the wind passing through the fingers

oh everyone has

The song of the dream planned in the heart

fly now

turn the moment into eternity

did you win the game

no matter what form it takes

Time will be engraved with an unchanging rhythm

control your mind

We spread our wings in the watery shadow

blue sky will always be with you

"Ah—" I don't know if I was too excited to play ball with the stinky old man too late yesterday, and the alarm clock didn't wake me up this morning.I looked at the hour hand, and it was already pointing to [-]:[-], and the entry time was - [-] o'clock!Today is the first day of the competition!

"Ringlingling..." The phone rang, the bad middle-aged man answered the phone, and grinned at me, "Yo~young people~ people from your tennis club are calling, asking why you haven't arrived yet~" You just want Watch the show!

Angrily snatched the phone, fortunately, it was Senior Dashi. "Well, Oishi-senpai, I sent a pregnant woman who is about to give birth to the hospital just now, and I just came back to change clothes. I will leave the report to you!"

Hanging up the phone, ignoring my dad's sneer, I grabbed the milk and bread, put on the tennis bag, and rushed out of the house.

I finally saw the stadium park, and I walked in two steps on three legs.Suddenly, a drawn out voice sounded from the side, "Being late for so long... Are you still taking it calmly? Echizen-kun from Youth Academy~"

Turning his head, he saw a middle school student in a uniform with a tie and a smart face.He was holding his chin with one hand, looking at me with interest, but the hand holding his chin was still holding his little orchid finger...

"Who are you?" I shuddered.

"You're very good~" He didn't answer me, he closed his eyes and raised his hand (the little finger is still raised...) to curl the bangs on his forehead, "You just became a first-year candidate~" Just thinking Ignoring him and continuing to run, I heard him say: "You can use your left hand today, Echizen-kun~"

Closing my eyes, I lazily said: "In uniform, are you ready to go home? You are still far behind."

His chuckle came from behind, "It's really arrogant, it's so interesting~"

When approaching the field, I was attracted by the scene on a field.Horio?He's getting ready for a game in the official selection jersey?The official competition should not have started yet, right?Horio, whose legs were trembling, suddenly saw me while looking around, "Ah! Echizen!" He cried out with tears in his eyes as if seeing a savior.

"Hey! The main selection of the first grade of Qingxue! Hurry up and serve!" Standing on the other side of the court was a aggressive player from another school, who was yelling at Horio.

"Yes! Immediately!" Horio smirked, turned his head and yelled at me in a low voice, "You're late! Really... Hurry up and replace me!"

I knew right away what was going on.Probably because I was late, Mr. Ryuzaki and the others had no choice but to let Horio top the bag.And Horio, who was wearing the Zhengxuan jersey, must have been unable to control his stinky mouth, which caused trouble.

"Come on, Echizen~" I pretended to leave.This kid should be taught a lesson.

"Wait a minute! Echizen!" He threw himself on the barbed wire wall, "I beg you—"

"You're Echizen, aren't you~"

Horio twitched and was about to cry. "Oh, oh, I can't help you," I turned my head and grinned at him, "How about buying me drinks for a week?"

"Three days!" He actually stretched out three fingers to bargain skillfully, "It's all because you're late..."

"Then change it to one month!" I closed my eyes and said angrily.

"Ryoma-kun, please help Horio." "You were the one who was late and said first." Unexpectedly, Sakurano Tomoka and the others jumped out.

"...Forget it, just treat it as a warm-up." I can't beat girls.

"Hey, little bastard, what are you doing dawdling!" The guy opposite was really impatient.

Putting on Horio's official jersey, taking out his racket, and putting on his hat, I leisurely said to that guy, "Then, I, Horio with two years of tennis experience, will play with you instead of Echizen~"

"Ah, Echizen!" I finally found Qinggaku's playing field, and Oishi-senpai on the sidelines caught a glimpse of me.

"It's too late! Why did you go!" The minister's face was like an iceberg that sank the Titanic.

"Warming up a bit," I whispered.Just turning some annoying guy into a one-eyed panda.

"What warm-up, you brat!" Taocheng wrapped one hand around my neck, and twisted my head with a fist, "Go back and run [-] laps on the playground!"

"It will hurt! Senior Taocheng." I protested.This guy really knows how to pretend to be a tiger!

"I'll teach you a lesson later, now prepare for the competition!" The minister said in a serious tone.

"Yes~" I replied.

"Let's go, Ryoma! The first battle is going to be a complete victory!" Coach Ryuzaki looked at me as I was walking towards the field, "It's up to you!"

Outside the court, Horio held the first-choice jersey I threw back to him with a bitter face, "It's nothing to do so many sliding movements, is it to dirty this jacket on purpose? I borrowed it from Kaidou-senpai. ! What should I do~ If I had known earlier, I would have ordered drinks for a week, woo woo..."

The author has something to say:

Guess questions:

What was Kaitang's expression when he saw the official selection jersey that was stained by the protagonist?
