Even Yumiko Miura was unable to move and stood there in a daze.

When the exclamations subsided a little, Yukinoshita Yukino scored again with her serve.

The cheers surged like a wave, announcing the victory of Yukinoshita Yukino's serve.

"So... so strong!" Yuigahama Yui felt relieved, "No wonder you just said..."

"It has nothing to do with my strength." Yukinoshita Yukino stared into Yuigahama Yui's eyes. "The moment that girl, who is used to reading people's faces and doesn't know how to play tennis, stood next to me, I had already won."

Yuigahama Yui's eyes trembled: "Xue-no..."

"Alright." Yukinoshita Yukino turned and walked towards the receiving position, "There's still a victory waiting for us."

Although Ebina Hina's serve is not as fast as Miura Yumiko's, it is also quite standard, and it is obvious that she has received professional training.

Yukinoshita Yukino easily returned the ball, then flashed to the net and hit the ball back before it passed the net and hit the ground.

Yumiko Miura and Hina Ebina responded hastily, but the balls they hit seemed to hit the racket in Yukinoshita Yukino's hand on their own.

Like a queen towering over the net, wherever Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes go, everything is covered by ice and snow and is under her control.

"In this case..." Ebina Hina murmured, dragging her racket along the baseline, then suddenly raised her arm and hit the tennis ball that had fallen to the ground and bounced back high into the air, heading straight for the baseline.

Yuigahama Yui gripped the racket nervously, adjusted her position left and right, closed her eyes, and slammed the racket with both hands.

Snapped!

Miraculously, the tennis ball flew in the right direction.

Then the next moment it flew back.

This time I wasn't so lucky.

Yuigahama Yui looked at Yukinoshita Yukino guiltily.

Yukinoshita Yukino just shook her head, indicating that she shouldn't worry about it.

The offensive then intensified.

Like an elf dancing on ice, her soft hair swirls gracefully, attracting everyone's attention.

In the third game, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui won again.

The crowd cheered Yukinoshita Yukino's name as if it was a slogan of victory.

Volume 5 May Holiday: Chapter 169 Mixed Doubles

"Handle it yourself." Azuma Yunshan handed the first aid kit to Totsuka Ayaka on the referee's chair, then turned to find Hikigaya Komachi on the sidelines. "What's going on?"

"That's what happened..." Hikigaya Komachi briefly recounted what happened, "...and now it's the fourth round."

Dong Yunshan glanced at the time and asked, "A round?"

In tennis, the first player to win 6 games wins the set. If each player wins 5 games, one player must win 2 games in a row to end the set, which is called the long set system.

At the same time, in order to control the game time, the tie-breaking system is generally adopted.

That is, when the score is 6:6, only one more game is needed to decide the winner.

In this game, whoever wins 7 points first wins, hence the name tie-break.

If the game is tied at 5:5, one side still needs to score 2 points in a row to win the game.

If you want to play a set, you have to play at least 6 games, which is obviously not enough time.

"Play half a set. The first one to win three games wins. As long as you win this game, you win." Hikigaya Komachi looked at Yukinoshita Yukino on the court, "But..."

Serving for the first two games was the victory, and it was over quickly.

In the third game, Yukinoshita Yukino came to the net aggressively and didn't waste too much time.

But things changed in the fourth game.

The attacks of Yumiko Miura and Hina Ebina were more focused on Yuigahama Yui, who was not good at tennis. In order to take care of her, Yukinoshita Yukino had to give up intercepting at the net and run back and forth.

Dong Yunshan murmured: "This is not good..."

"Huh?" Hikigaya Komachi was puzzled. "Aren't we ahead in the score?"

"Miura and Ebina's strategy is correct, but it's very dangerous." Azuma Yunshan's eyes wandered around the edge of the court and indeed saw Hayato Hayama with a frown on his face. "Do you remember what happened on the first day of training when Totsuka and I were playing?"

"Xiaocai's ball almost hit...ah!" Hikigaya Komachi let out a short scream.

In order to avoid Yukinoshita Yukino's sharp edge, Ebina Hime and Miura Yumiko were deliberately attacking Yuigahama Yui. If they were not careful——

Ebina Hina hit the ball towards the edge, and Yukinoshita Yukino immediately accelerated and swung the racket to hit back.

Yumiko Miura hit the ball in the other direction, and Yukinoshita Yukino had to run over to catch the ball.

This time, Ebina hit the ball directly towards Yuigahama Yui, who fought back hastily and barely managed to hit the ball back.

At this moment, Yumiko Miura went to the net and swung her racket with all her strength - whoosh!

The tennis ball passed by Yuigahama Yui's cheek and hit the iron net behind her.

Yuigahama Yui staggered and fell to the ground.

"Yui!" Yukinoshita Yukino approached quickly, "Are you okay?"

"...I was scared to death." Yuigahama Yui was about to cry.

"Yumiko," Hina Ebina complained, "That shot was too hard."

"No way!" Miura Yumiko looked at Yuigahama Yui, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "This is a very common thing in competitions! I'm not that bad!"

"Xukino, I'm fine, let's continue--ah!" Yuigahama Yui was halfway through her words when she started screaming, and this time she really cried.

"It's sprained." Yukinoshita Yukino withdrew her hand from Yuigahama Yui's ankle, "You can't continue."

"But you said before that I can persist in the competition if I want." Yuigahama Yui was unwilling to let it end like this, "I think..."

Yukinoshita Yukino said with a straight face: "I am also in the arena. I don't want to, so you can't insist."

"But what can you do..." Yuigahama Yui bit her lips, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"It's easy." Yukinoshita Yukino handed Yuigahama Yui to the nearby Hikigaya Komachi for care, "I'll fight alone."

With Yuigahama Yui's departure, Yukinoshita Yukino was the only one left on the empty field.

That’s right… Yukinoshita Yukino’s white fingertips lightly hooked the tennis string.

It has always been like this.

The appearance of Yuigahama Yui gave her the illusion that there was someone around her.

But that was just an illusion after all.

Yukinoshita Yukino was not denying the feeling of companionship that Yuigahama Yui gave her.

She just became more certain of her previous thoughts.

No matter how many people are around you, you still have to face what you have to face alone.

In the past, she refused such a beginning because she knew the ending would be like this.

Now that she has accepted that beginning, she can face that ending calmly.

"It's 2-2 now," Miura Yumiko laughed, "but it seems like you can't continue?"

"I've said it before." Yukinoshita Yukino raised her eyes, "I alone am enough."

Anyway...she has always been alone.

"Why don't I quit..." Ebina Hina suggested.

Miura Yumiko was furious: "She's looking down on us!"

"Alright, alright." Hayato Hayama approached with a smile. "Isn't a draw good? Everyone had a great time playing. Let's call it a day."

"What are you talking about, Hayato?" Miura Yumiko stomped her foot in protest, "The game has to be interrupted!"

This sentence is correct... Just as this thought appeared in Yukinoshita Yukino's mind, she heard a familiar voice.

"That's why I told you long ago that your approach won't work..." Dong Yunshan slowly stepped onto the court, spinning his racket around his wrist. "Why don't you listen to me and change the women's doubles to mixed doubles..."

Miura Yumiko interrupted impatiently: "Why should I listen to you?"

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan held the racket. "So, you mean, you don't want to team up with Ye Shan?"

"Hayato...?" Yumiko Miura turned her head in surprise and saw Hayato Hayama's wry smile.

"Just now, Dongyun said he wanted to play too, so he invited me to join." Hayato Hayama sighed, "But I'm just not that good at tennis..."

"Skill isn't the problem!" Ebina Hina handed the racket to Hayato Hayama, her face filled with almost abnormal excitement. "The key is to have the determination to... to overcome difficulties, and the resilience to... to not be discouraged even after setbacks!"

This is about... tennis, right?

Hayato Hayama vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Since it was a tie, let's just go for the tiebreak." Dong Yunshan glanced at the crowd gathering outside the stadium. "There are more and more people."

"Yumiko," Hayato Hayama asked with a sunny smile, "Is this okay?"

Miura Yumiko turned her head and looked to the side: "...It's not impossible to listen to you."

Sure enough...Dong Yunshan knew that he had found the right person.

Use the top of the campus social hierarchy to fight the top.

Volume 5 May Holiday: Chapter 170: Uneasy

I alone am enough.

This is not about showing off or personal heroism.

But it is real confidence.

Someone once taught Yukino Yukinoshita how to play tennis, and she won after only three days of learning.

Most sports, no, more than just sports.

The same goes for music and the like.

It only takes three days to learn.

With Yukino Yukinoshita's tennis level, it is not difficult to defeat Yumiko Miura and Hime Ebina.

In fact, because the two of them formed a temporary team, if they could control the rhythm, it would be even easier than defeating one of them alone.

The only thing to worry about is physical strength.

Just as Dong Yunshan said.

“What others cannot master even after a long time, a genius can master in one go.”

“But because of this, it’s hard for them to persevere in one thing.”

The process of studying hard and practicing to master skills is itself a test of physical strength.

If you master the skills all at once, it will be difficult to improve your physical strength in the process of mastering the skills.

It is also because of Azuma Yunshan that Yukinoshita Yukino's weakness is somewhat compensated.

I first saw the East Spruce raising the flag and wanted to try it myself, so I started practicing.

Then... taking care of a baby is really a physical job, and holding seven or eight kilograms in your arms is no joke.

Finally, because of the feeding...feeding...feeding...I gained a little weight anyway, so I insisted on doing aerobic exercise to lose weight.

Yukinoshita Yukino's physical strength has been improved to a certain extent.

It gave her the confidence to play the full half of the game.

The score is currently tied at 2-2. All he needs to do next is win Yumiko Miura's serve and then his own serve to win before he runs out of energy.

I alone am enough.

so......

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Azuma Yunshan: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm also one of the people in charge of training." Dong Yunshan turned his head, "It's my turn to play."

"I mean, this is the duel I agreed to." Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips, "I didn't ask you to participate."
