Net King: Nioh Phantom

After several back-and-forth stalemates, Niou finally broke the situation"violently".

Crack - the sound of a racket hitting a tennis ball, just like the sound of a whip hitting a tennis ball

"The branches of the"Platycodon Flower from another dimension" were pulled straight over!

Even Mori, who was"sleeping", instinctively felt the feeling of danger. Ochi also froze at that moment.

And what Nioh needed to score , is that moment of spare time!

"15:0, Atobe and Nioh score!"

This small game is his serve. Strictly speaking, this set is the deciding set!

Trying to pretend that he can't feel Tatsumi's sight, Nioh thought to himself, in the first two sets, he"didn't work hard" and still failed. It makes sense. But if you don't"fight harder" now, you will be"settled later" after the game, right?

Nioh decided to"fight hard", and he hoped that he would get a"reduced sentence" when he"accepted the trial". So it must be indispensable……

"Phew, one round of the game is over, and the same ball just now was played for several more rounds - Atobe, haven't you finished warming up yet?"

——Mori-senpai has a doubles partner, and I also have a doubles partner!

Minister Hyokui's previous performance was noticed by all the spectators and coaches.

Maybe others feel that as a junior high school student, Atobe Keigo has done well enough before. But in Nioh Masaharu's opinion... Atobe hasn't done enough!

Nioh, who has a"God's perspective", knows what kind of breakthroughs Hyotei Minister Atobe Keigo can make in tennis. He also knows that Minister Hyokui's"magic power" can protect him from some"mental twists and turns".

However, there was another reason why Niou wanted Atobe to be his doubles partner for this match.

As mentioned before -

Atobe Keigo is the most suitable doubles partner for Nioh Masaharu in this doubles match!

It’s not just the"Likai Hyōtei" relationship that everyone talks about;……

"Um?"

Hyotei Minister glanced at his doubles partner Tatekai Daisho.

He held the racket with his dominant right hand, rubbed his eyebrows naturally with his left hand, and then tapped his temples.

"My 'warm-up' time has long ended!"

I have had an eye for the trend of"evolution" for a long time. With Ochi Moonlight's fast serving speed, the progress bar of"evolution" increased rapidly. So of course,"Atobe Kingdom" came out!

Bang - and Atobe After the confirmation, Nioh, perhaps because he was in a better mood, served the ball faster by two points.

However, the angle of the serve was not tricky, and it did not even reach what the spectators recognized as"Nioh Masaharu should"That's the level of hitting".

At first glance, it's like giving up on yourself thinking"No matter what angle you hit, Mori-senpai will hit you back with his arm."

Bang!

So this ball was naturally hit back.

Nioh Mi Watching the trajectory of the tennis ball with your eyes, you just stopped it symbolically.

——His goal was to"feed" Atobe!

The silvery white light"tie" is gradually changing at this time

"The light of"Synchrony" should have been stable, but now it is flowing like water.

Even the tennis players in the audience can see the"seawater-like bond" between Niou and Atobe at this time."!

Whoosh -

Atobe's counterattack broke people's confusion and surprise at this moment. The

"different-dimensional shadow·Platycodon flower" behind Nioh deliberately restrained himself

【Nioh's 'Synchrony' is pretty easy to use……】

"The eyesight that has completed the"Advanced", combined with the overwhelming mental power based on the court, completely saw through the movements of the two high school seniors on the other side of the net... and the bones!

Boom!

The right leg was"stuck" - Yuezhi Listening to the obvious sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground in his ears, his expression was still very cold.

And the"sleeping" Maoli……

"yawn!"

His original windows to the soul, his eyes, were lifeless. It was as if he had fallen asleep with his eyes open.

This state similar to"deep sleep" can maximize his body's flexibility and talents, allowing him to His reaction ability has been greatly improved. However,"improvement" also has a bottom line.

Nioh knows that his senior is definitely willing to pay the price of"dislocation" in order to win - he was willing before, but he must be more willing now Now.

Joint Technique - is the same ability as Mori Juzaburo's BUG.

In normal conditions, it must be used as appropriate, cannot be used more than once, and has great restrictions; but in the"sleeping" state... the restrictions are much less, and it can be used a few times. It doesn't matter.

Atobe doesn't know the above.

——Nioh has not told him the information about the"full moon" state of No. 9 of the First Army, and naturally he will not say more about the"sleeping" state of No. 10 of the First Army.

But with the Hyotei Minister of the"Atobe Kingdom", he can infer this from the various actions of Mori in the previous"sleep state"!

Those exclamations of"Is this senior still a human being?" did not affect Atobe's conclusion at all.

Tennis players who have seen"phantoms" have a much greater ability to accept than others, so Atobe naturally accepted the situation that"Mouri Jusaburo should be able to adjust his muscle state and stretch his bones in an instant."

So when he hit that ball, he was prepared for the gross profit, leaving enough"free space" for the No. 10 in the army."！

"30:0, Atobe and Nioh score!"

So much mental energy was"spread all over the field" following Atobe's movements, so it can't be wasted.

"Platycodon Flower", who had been quiet for a ball, started his craziness.

Boom - spectators and players with trypophobia You can close your eyes.

Because the crazy"Platycodon flower" that is pulling strips has turned into a look that no plant lover will recognize.

——With such a chaotic appearance of branches, Yukimura, Shiraishi, and Fuji, absolutely no one in the plant group could recognize that it was a"pure and beautiful platycodon flower"!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

People who couldn't help but close their eyes couldn't see what was happening on the court, they could only hear the sound

——Is it the sound of a tennis ball landing?

——Or is it the voice of that thing behind Nioh?

"40:0, Atobe and Nioh score!"

Both voices are

"1:1, Atobe and Nioh score!"

Because they heard the voice announcing the end of the inning.

And when they looked over... the court was very refreshing, and there was not even an extra ball pit.

However, the extra"talking points" had been contributed to the audience.

"Is this a 'ranged attack' in Nioh?"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke joked.

The head of Shitenhoji boldly opened his eyes and watched everything - those branches that seemed to suddenly grow wildly looked like they were going to swarm up and drown the opponent on the opposite side!

"That Atobu is 'close combat'!"

Yukimura said very cooperatively.

Of course, Minister Tatekai would not be afraid.

He watched Nioh"lay out the big scene" and watched Atobe use his eyesight to carefully score the score one by one.

"So it's a 'dream combination'’？"

Fuji was in a good mood at this time, looking at his two roommates with a smile and said.

However, his youth teammates are still hesitant to say anything and stay away from such a youth genius.

"senior! senior——"

But Minister Rikkai failed to answer the question asked by Seigaku Genius in time.

"Yagyu-senpai!"

"Senior, what's wrong with you?!!"

The second-year ace of Rikkai University shouted anxiously.

"What should I do? Is Yagyu-senpai sick?"

Kirihara Akaya, who had experienced the incident of the minister entering the hospital, panicked when he saw his Yagyu-senpai standing up straight with eyes wide open.

"Yanagi-senpai, Marui-senpai, please take a look.——"

Saying that, Kirihara did not dare to exert any force. He just shook Yagyu's shoulder lightly and found that his senior had lost consciousness!

"Minister, Yagyu-senpai, he——"

Kirihara was completely panicked

"Wait, Chiya, don't worry!"

"Akiya, please stop shouting, Yagyu will be fine.……"

Marui shouted to stop, but Yanagi Renji really hesitated to speak.

Hiroshi Yagyu was chosen as the Grand Shogun by Tatekai. He was rigorous and like a gentleman in every aspect, but he only had one innocuous"small flaw""——Afraid of ghosts!

——Although the"baring teeth and claws" branches behind Niou have a bright silver light, the"demon nature" combined with the spiritual power is enough to make Yagyu think of something bad.

Marui Bunta had seen his teammate collapse in the haunted house, and Military Advisor Liu had already collected information about Yagyu.

However, you cannot say these in front of other players!

——The high school seniors from the First Army are still here!

——What to do about Li Hai’s image problem?

Sanada had a dark face and an alarmingly low pressure.

The deputy minister of Tatekai stood up, smoothly holding the brim of his hat with one hand, and then firmly holding Kirihara's head with the other hand.

Kirihara, poor little Akaya didn't dare to speak out for a moment.

When he saw Yukimura's smile, he felt that"something bad was going on", and then he immediately used his brain to figure out what kind of"monstrous mistake" he had just made! ps, why did Nioh and Atobe become doubles partners in this match? One of the reasons is, of course,"Tatekai Hyōtei".

As for the other reason - well, it's the reason why Yagyu can't play! (At least we can’t do w now). Explained in the next chapter.
