Net King: Nioh Phantom

Nioh and the others arrived in Australia in advance, and all other teams also arrived in Melbourne according to their own plans before the scheduled opening meeting of the U17 World Cup and completed their respective roster registrations.

"We can't go out casually now, there are a lot of reporters outside, Yanagi-senpai,"

Kirihara complained to Yanagi Renji.

In the two or three days after arriving in Australia, players like them got an unexpected degree of freedom. The U17 representative team The coaches acquiesced to their free movement and allowed them to have a good time in the two days before the opening ceremony.

"Because today is the time for the opening ceremony, Akaya."

Ryu Renji explained to the juniors who can't go out to play.

Today, the official organizer of this U17 World Cup will give a speech in front of the captains and representatives of each team.

"It's similar to our opening ceremony... It basically talks about the history of the U17 World Cup and previous results."

Yukimura was also talking to Shiraishi and the others about the opening meeting.

"In general, it's the spirit of sportsmanship’？"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke joked.

I have to say that Shiraishi is worthy of being the head of the Tennis Club of Tentenboji Temple, and his complaints are very sharp.

"So what about Atobe?"

The patient was patient enough to look left and right.

"Where are Nioh and Byodoin-senpai?"

Although Byodoin Phoenix did not announce in front of everyone who was going to listen to the U17 World Cup opening meeting such as the annual opening ceremony and speeches by the principal and representatives, the clever junior high school player We have obtained the"lucky boy" who will attend the meeting from their respective news channels."

"Why haven't they come out yet?"

When Renzu learned that the person who was going to go on stage to draw lots was his Atobe Minister, he went crazy inside.

But...seeing that other insiders were smiling and didn't take Atobe's fortune to heart. It seems that the genius of the Ice Emperor calmly calmed down his excessive mood.

【No matter how miserable it is, I will not be the one to play in the warm-up match of the opening ceremony of the U17 World Cup! 】

After ensuring their own safety, the Ninzu players felt at ease.

"Boss and the others...should still be preparing now."

High school player Duke Watanabe has always been smiling, but now he smiles very delicately.

"Is such that——"

Mitsuya Akuto also had a gentle smile on his face

"Our U17 representative team has prepared uniform formal attire for them. Byodoin has confirmed it, and there is no problem with Atobe-kun, but Nioh went to the head coach two days ago to give his opinion."

As for the specific opinions, Mitsuya Akuto was full of smiles.……

"I never thought I would see the boss without a beard again."

"Gui and the others are okay, they should still remember that time... you junior high school students have never seen it, right?"

Duke Watanabe recalled that once, his words exploded with thunder, making the high school students present dizzy.

"What?!"

"Are you talking about Byodoin?——"

The junior high school student contestants didn’t know why the high school seniors were so shocked. They were so emotional before even seeing Byodoin.

"real or fake! In order to attend the opening meeting, hiss—is it such a big sacrifice?"

Nakawa Naidoichi couldn't hold it back and took a deep breath.

In this tough guy's view, beard is undoubtedly a reflection of a man's charm.

Byodoin Phoenix was actually willing to shave off his beard in order to participate in the opening meeting of the U17 World Cup... It’s really too much of a sacrifice!

"……No, that's not the case."

Ida Ooji, who got along very well with both inside and outside Taoist circles, twitched the corner of his mouth. He lost his grace at this moment.

"Nakahanoi, you don’t understand……"

Hakamada Izo looked like he wanted to spit out his soul, as if he had suffered a fatal blow to his soul.

"Byodo-in He was not the person he is now when he was a freshman in high school."

Even Irie Kanata has lost the ability to act with ease in the past.

Irie Kanata has been recalling what happened back then, when they were both in high school.

"You hadn't entered the U17 training camp at that time."

In that year, the U17 training camp was not like it is now. Not only did the recruitment begin in advance, but many places were also expanded. In previous years, the U17 training camp would recruit promising high school players in batches. The one who issued the invitation letter for the training camp, Irie Kando remembers it very clearly.

"Nakagouchi, you didn't enter the training camp at the same time as Byodoin, so you didn't see him a few times that year, right?"

At that time, not long after Byodoin Phoenix came to the U17 training camp, he started a game with Oni Jujiro under the guidance of the coaches, and then went to the back mountain.

But even if he went to the back mountain, Byodoin Phoenix's His personal image has not changed much, but his temperament has become more fierce.

Irie Kanata thought that the original Byodoin was still a bit boyish and refreshing at first glance, but it was not as vicissitudes as it is now.

"But he was fine when he was a sophomore in high school.……"

After thinking about it, contestant Irie also felt very confused.

"Speaking of which, byodoin, did he suddenly change in his third year of high school?"

It's not that growing a beard is bad. Although Irie may not agree with a certain image aesthetically, he also respects other people's aesthetics.

It's just... the"change" of Byodoin Phoenix is ​​too great!

It seems that he suddenly skipped A long time!

"It’s not about the beard——！"

Tohno Atsukyo, who is surprisingly good at fashion, has something to say.

He had an expression on his face that said"I couldn't help it a long time ago" and gritted his teeth.

"There’s nothing wrong with the beard, it’s the hair! hair!!"

Tohno Atsukyo, who has smooth hair, is very convinced of Byodoin Phoenix in tennis, so he is usually willing to obey the orders of Byodoin. But only in the aspect of"hair", Tohno Atsukyo really I have endured Byodoin Phoenix for a long time!

"No, it's not just hair either——"

As soon as the words came out, he couldn't hold them back. Tohno Atsukyo stood up excitedly.

Kimijima Ikuto, who was several seats away from him, shook his right arm on the armrest, and almost couldn't resist the urge to rush over and hold Tokkyo Tono down.

"He should have done this a long time ago in Byodoin!"

Tohno Atsukyo was very excited.

He usually couldn't match the thinking of other teammates, but this time he was able to instantly understand what Duke Watanabe wanted to tell them, because he was more and more familiar with Byodoin Phoenix. I have been feeling aggrieved for too long because I am too lazy to take care of myself.

Even though Tohno Tokkyo is very violent in tennis and shouts for execution every day, this high school player is a very rare sportsman who knows how to take good care of his skin. No's smooth hair and his skin, which is obviously whiter than other colleagues, are all the result of his serious care and maintenance every day!

This is not the credit of Kimijima Ikuto- don't look at other things, in"care and maintenance" In terms of"exquisite life", even Kimijima Ikuto, who has been a star since childhood, is not as serious as Tono Atsukyo.

"Hey, listen up! Don’t be like Byodoin, you have to do it every day……"

Balabal...

Tohno Tokkyo's"small classroom" has begun.

Although his tone was fierce, it was much better than it was on the court. Moreover, Tohno Atsukyo's words are really convincing at this time, because of his own"experience""——He himself is the best example

【Yes... I was temporarily confused by him like this at that time.……】

Why was Kimijima Ikuto willing to partner with Tono Atsukyo in doubles in the first place?

Although the biggest reason was that Tono's tennis skills were strong enough to cooperate with him and allow him to hit the first position, Kimijima Ikuto finally remembered at this time - he did not express resistance to partnering with Tono at that time. , there is also the reason why Tono Atsukyo himself is"diffusive"!

Who would have thought that Atsukyo Tono, who is very knowledgeable about fashion trends and extremely serious about skin care, would be so persistent in the execution law!
