Net King: Nioh Phantom

"Nio Masaharu, Atobe Keigo, Sanada Genichiro, Akutsu Jin, Kite Eishiro, Toyama Kintaro, Ishida Gin……"

The rankings on the list are not strictly based on the strength of junior high school players.

In fact, excluding the captain, except for Nioh Masaharu, the order of everyone else on the list was written at random by the coaches.

As soon as Yukimura looked at the list of the U17 junior high school student team in his hand, he knew what the coaches meant - all the junior high school students who competed in the qualifying round were selected.

Then

"Shiraishi Zangnosuke, Fuji Shusuke, Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya, Marui Bunta……"

The junior high school student director of Lihai University read the list of the representative teams, and the curve at the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

——Of the fourteen players on the representative team, six of their Lihai University players were selected!

Six out of fourteen, three out of seven, nearly half... six people were selected, which was already a number that made Minister Tatehai elated.

Although Yukimura knows that his Rikkai teammates are very strong in tennis, as long as there are no problems, they will definitely be favored by the coaches.

But when it came to the moment when the list was announced, Seiichi Yukimura couldn't help but feel overjoyed!

"……Endure enough Yushi!"

With joy, Minister Li Hai read out the list of the fourteen-member junior high school student team. When the last name was read out, his"mission" was temporarily over. But the name was read out. Players, at this time, their moods have not been able to calm down for a long time.——

"What? ? Did I hear it right?"

The surprise is beyond words.

——This is what Yuushi is talking about.

The genius of Hyokui was prepared not to be selected, so when he heard the list of the junior high school student team, although he had expectations, he always encouraged himself to keep a normal mind.

The so-called"I am fortunate to gain, my life is lost" mentality... If Atobe Keigo knew about it, he would probably kick him mercilessly in front of everyone!

But Yuushi Ninzu never expected that he, the ice emperor genius, would also make miscalculations (although it is well known that he, the ice emperor genius, has"miscalculated" twice and is"famous" in the circle of junior high school tennis players)!

"Do you suspect that you are in Yukimura's 'dream', Renzu?"

After hearing the"brand new" roster of the U17 junior high school student team, Nioh was in a good mood now.

So he happily joked with Yushi Ninzu.

This time again, his"butterfly" waved his wings. The storm has finally affected the ocean of"destiny".

Yushi Ninzu's"chosen" is the most straightforward proof

——This represents a change in the"route" planned by head coach Mifune Idou for the U17 team.

In this way, the sweat, tears, and even the"blood color" in my memory may be reduced a lot, or even disappear!

In this U17 World Cup, fourteen junior high school players have joined the teams from each country.

When the Japanese team had the opportunity and strength to enter the semi-finals, it lost so miserably against the Swiss team in the group stage. In fact, it was mostly due to the ranking of the coaches.

Even if Byodoin is not allowed to appear and high school students such as Oni Jujiro and Tokugawa Kazuya are sent out and they go all out, they will not lose all three games.

——Later, Nioh gradually understood the coaches' thinking, which was simply to"suppress before they want to advance".

But the mood at that time... was"difficult to calm down" after all!

Just like he will never forget the Kanto Tournament and three consecutive championships against Kaidai until his death, just like he will never forget the doubles duel with Mori-senpai in the qualifying match again - as time goes by, Although he was relieved of his failure, the regret in his heart was always there.

So, is there anything wrong with being able to do it again and make your life more perfect?

""Ups and downs." This kind of praise is reserved for novels. Their trip to the U17 World Cup this time should go as smoothly as possible!

"No, I was just so shocked and pleasantly surprised!"

Ninzu wanted to say"surprised", but he quickly glanced at Atobe next to him, who looked a little unhappy, and immediately changed his mind.

"I hope you can keep your surprise in the U17 World Cup.’！"

Atobe glared at him and then said.

Minister Hyotei was actually very happy when he heard that Yushi Ninzu appeared on the roster of the representative team.

But the next second, he heard the"disbelief" voice of his member...

So Atobe Keigo immediately became dissatisfied.

Just now I was promising him that I would work hard to get a spot on the representative team. Now it seems... Yushi Ninzu has no idea of ​​"working hard" for a spot on the representative team!

Minister Hyōte felt that Yushi was not patient enough and was angry with him for not fighting.

As for the other players of Ice King, their thoughts at this time are very simple.——

"I'll go to the game, Bunta!"

Jiro Akutagawa is very happy.

His most admired"idol" Marui-kun has become a member of the U17 team. He has the opportunity to see Marui Bunta's wonderful skills in the World Cup...

Thinking of this, Jirou Akutagawa is happy. I almost fainted!

"Woohoo, Bunta……"

Opposite to Hyotei Akutagawa is Tatekai's Kuwabara player.

Kuwahara and Marui were not assigned to the same dormitory in the U17 training camp, so they did not get together at noon today.

Therefore - watching his doubles partner and Hyotei's two players come to the center court together, watching his doubles partner and Hyotei's first choice happily chatting and laughing...

Kuwahara's expression now is really sad. , he was about to cry!

"…………"

Yagyu looked at the sad expression of his roommate and teammate. He was silent for several seconds.

"……Kuwabara."

Yagyu tried to comfort his teammates.

At least, don't let Kuwahara's emotions show so conspicuously.

"Yagyu, you don’t need to say anything...I know!"

Kuwahara looked depressed.

"Alas, Nioh’s side is also... I know it!"

He continued, causing a"mental crit" effect on his teammates who were well-intentioned and wanted to comfort him.

——Yagyu was almost relieved than Lu Shi.

——But he didn't expect that his teammate would be so"ruthless" and stabbed him in the back."！

"Yagyu, are you sad, puri~"

What's worse is that after Nioh had a"friendly exchange" with Hyotei Genius, he wandered over here and heard Kuwahara's"empathy" words.

And……

"Don't be discouraged, Yagyu"

"This is just the first selection. There will be another U17 World Cup that we can participate in two years later.——"

"There will be a chance next time! Liu Renji, who knew the" cause and effect" but still pretended not to know, also participated.

"Yes, Yagyu-senpai!"

"Just watch from the audience as we turn our opponents red, hahahaha!"

Second-year junior Akaya Kirihara laughed without emotional intelligence.

Kirihara was too naive, and he didn't consider the face of his senior Yagyu at all.

"Don't let up, Yagyu!"

"Even if you are not selected, keep training."

Sanada's words are objective.

But in line with the words of the previous people -

Yagyu now feels heartbroken after hearing the"encouragement" from Vice Minister Tatekai.

"Okay, now the roster of the U17 junior high school student team has been announced by Yukimura."

"Now it's time to move on to the next thing……"

When Coach Kurobe announced the U17 team roster in Seiichi Yukimura, he stood silently beside him, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Now, looking at the junior high school players who are generally very happy, the tactical coach's tone is rare and gentle.

"That's right, your coach Takusho has something to inform everyone~"

On the high platform, spiritual coach Saito Yuki also spoke softly.

——This made the junior high school students who were still in a state of excitement quickly calm down.

【Something bad seems to be happening? 】

Nioh and others looked at Coach Takusho on the high platform, and he noticed"something bad".

Coach Kurobe and Coach Saito, they seem to be……

"gloat"？

"Players for the U17 representative team can only be selected from the strongest——"

"These are the words of the head coach."

Coach Takushoku didn't care about the mood of the junior high school students, he directly told the junior high school players what Coach Mifune meant.

"Therefore, for 'The Dawn of Japan', you need more rigorous training and a new training menu!"

——The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.

Coach Takushoku spoke to the end and finally revealed his true intention!

Although the training intensity of the junior high school students recruited from the U17 training camp has greatly increased after entering the U17 training camp, compared with the usual training volume of the first army high school students, the training for the junior high school students is really too little. many.

Nioh Masaharu, who was directly assigned to Court No. 1, used the training menu on Court No. 1, but he was the only junior high school student to do so.

The training of other junior high school players, even the junior high school students in black coats training in the back mountain, cannot keep up with the daily training volume of Nioh Masaharu on the No. 1 court.

Judging from the games between Nioh, Byodoin and Watanabe, if the"junior high school players" strengthen their training, it is possible to persist in playing the three-set game on the basis of maintaining their performance - therefore, strengthening the junior high school students' The training of players is imperative!

"The training menu actually hasn’t changed much."

"Generally speaking, it is the usual footwork practice, batting practice...for individuals, and then the corresponding flexibility training, agility training, etc."

"Warm up with a jog. Then run in a meter-shaped pattern, run back and forth, and run back and forth when touching the line.……"

"Baseline forehand and backhand multi-ball practice, small court ground practice, net volley practice, serving practice, chipping practice, etc."

"These are all exercises you have done regularly, and they are easy to get started!"

The mixed practice coach said this, showing the vertical scroll that was longer than the distance from the high platform railing to the ground to the junior high school players on the court.

——From the high platform to the ground, several meters of paper are filled with training items from top to bottom.

"Is it a 'dream'?"

"I was probably standing on the court against Yukimura……"

Yushi Ninzu was still happy to be selected just now, but now after watching the long series of training, he wished he was in a"dream"

"This training menu has more than doubled the amount of tasks!"

Marui looked at the new training menu, and he felt uncomfortable.

Lack of physical strength has always been his weakness, although now, few people can accurately target his physical strength.

But there is no doubt that if he does After finishing this new training menu, even if he is not physically exhausted, he will be on the verge of exhaustion!

"This is a high school player——"

"Is it their training menu for Yijun?"

Fuji Shusuke also became serious.

His ice-blue eyes opened...

Looking at this long training program and the numbers after the training program, even a"young academic genius" would feel chilled in his heart.

"Hey, Nioh!"

"How does this new training menu compare to the training menu on Court One?"

As expected of the head of Shitenhoji Temple who is known for his optimism, Shiraishi Zangnosuke can still smile and speak at this time.

"There are not so many training menus at Court One.……"

Nioh took a deep breath, and he once again realized the difference between"past and present lives".

This time's training menu - the coaches want them to collapse on the court from exhaustion!

"Of course, I'm talking about 'Basic Training Menu on Court One'’！"

"……Players’ private additional training does not count!"

When Nioh was on Court No. 1, although he also followed the training menu there, he did not follow the others in Court No. 1 for"additional training."

Court No. 1 is the top of the Second Army Stadium. He already has the most amount of training.

As a junior high school player, Niou is very good at completing his training schedule on time every day. He doesn’t have much time to train himself in private.

As for staying up in the middle of the night and carrying a racket to practice...

That is the habit of the Tokugawa players themselves!
