Net King: Nioh Phantom

In the stadium where the game ended, during the short period of time when the dust settled, the silent silence simply made the atmosphere depressing.

Two out of three sets, there is no doubt that the two junior high school students who played on the Second Army side won the game.

However, neither of the two high school students on the court were tennis players who would hold grudges against their juniors. The two of them didn't mean to make the atmosphere on the court fall into silence.

"……Your doubles team is excellent!"

Yue Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said.

After the game, Yue Zhi Yueguang finally no longer had to bear so much mental pressure. But while he breathed a sigh of relief, his mental energy also relaxed - and at the same time, it surged up The dizziness was really uncomfortable for him.

The situation of another high school student, Jusaburo Mori, was even more uncomfortable...

He is still looking wilted now, and his face is pale with sweat. It seems that he has overdrawn himself in the game. energy.

Being forcibly awakened from the"sleeping" state of unified mind and body by the external mental chaos, and then barely surviving a game in a daze, Maori did not faint or vomit directly now, and still Being able to stand here like this is really a credit to his excellent mental resistance!

——However, although these two high school students lost the game and their current images are quite embarrassing, they are essentially safe.

Just as the two high school students used their own methods against Nioh and Atobe without giving in, since Nioh dared to use such skills in the qualifying match of the U17 training camp, it was naturally a counterattack against"seniors""Ability" is calculated in mind

"……"

After finishing what he just said, Yue Zhi waited for a few more seconds.

"From the two of you, we see the tacit understanding of partners that is essential in doubles competition."

Ochi said while looking at Mouri with his peripheral vision.

The tall Hyotei high school student's behavior had no other meaning - he was just urging his"lively and talkative" partner It’s just a speech.

If Yue Zhi himself is asked to encourage and praise two junior high school students who have won the game, it’s not impossible. But... after listening to the two sentences before Yue Zhi, you will know that he has always been taciturn in appearance. High school students probably only know a few words of empty praise in the official sense.

——At this time, Maori needs to speak!

However, Yuezhi deliberately waited for a while, but his partner did not speak.

This forced Hyotei high school students to say a few words to the juniors first!

However, Yue Zhi realizes that if they win the game, they still have something to say; now that they have lost the game, how can they give guidance to their juniors who won the game? so……

【Even if you're mentally confused, it's time to calm down enough to speak now, right? 】

Cold eyes looked at the brown-red curly partner next to him, and his urging became more and more obvious.

——There is nothing we can do about this. Who can make Maoli"lively and talkative"?

Although the two sides in this match have a rare coincidental relationship between seniors and juniors, unlike Rikkai Dai's side, Ochi and Atobe are not familiar with each other at all.

So next, it is better to look at gross profit.

Ochi Moonlight thought so. Under his bangs, which were a little messy with sweat after the game, the look he looked at Mouri intensified the meaning of urging.

Nioh, who could see clearly from across the net, believed that if he and Atobe hadn't been standing in front of the two seniors like this, the senior Ochi opposite him probably wouldn't have used such an implicit method of conveying information - Hyou The Imperial high school student will probably tell his Mori-senpai what to do now with practical actions!

——Just like the Kanto Tournament for high school students, Ochi Moonlight wants to talk to another tennis player, and they all talk to the tennis ball directly on the tennis court with a racket!

"Ah - hiss!"

Because Ochi kept urging with his eyes and there were juniors watching from the opposite side, Mori finally gathered his energy and prepared for the routine"post-game coping".

But when he raised his head...he had a headache!

"Xiaorenwang, are you too cruel?!"

Maoli was so sad that he said this in front of so many people.

But he probably really had a headache and was in pain, otherwise he wouldn't have said this in public so irrationally!

"Mori-senpai...what are you talking about?"

I didn't expect that the first thing my senior said was this. Nioh opened his eyes wide.

——Look at Hyotei’s high school seniors. Although they lost the competition, the first words they spoke were still recognition and praise!

——Did I do something wrong even if I won the game? That's right, senior, aren't you also racking your brains to make me lose the game?

"Senior, aren't you still standing here well?"

Instead of hearing the exemplary praise from his seniors at the first time (-Ochi-senpai still complimented him and Atobe in a stereotyped manner), Nioh simply stopped being a"well-behaved and good junior"

"And senior, you lost again - no one can beat me in the doubles match!"

He then said it as if it was very casual.

In front of so many people, this sentence was said very casually, as if casually and carelessly, but it was full of confidence.

Today, the general trend has been achieved. Nioh's tennis strength has been The prototype was created and quickly improved.

If it were singles... Although he felt that there was no problem now, Nioh did not dare to be careless about what the tennis world would be like in a few years.

But the doubles game was different. Whether it is now or in the future , Niou is sure to win - because his ability in doubles and the means of assisting his teammates are too many.

"Ahem, anyway, you two are a very good doubles team!"

After entering into an"easy-going" conversation with his juniors, Mori finally realized what he should say in the current situation.

He used very official words of praise to change the topic - but this sentence was different from what Ochi said The first sentence is basically the same.

It can be seen that Mouri didn't hear what his partner was saying just now.

"After not seeing each other for a year, Xiaoniou has developed new moves, and Atobe's eyesight has also improved a lot."

Maoli, who is serious, still looks very senior on the surface.

Although he is not so calm in his heart.——

【It's too much. You can't use me as a senior to try your moves every time!】

【The same goes for Gekko-san, it's too much - Atobe-kun is obviously a junior high school student of Hyotei and your junior, why do you want me to praise you? ]

Inwardly cursing all the (three) people in the stadium except himself, Maori remained calm and did a very good job on the surface.

"Not only has your personal tennis strength improved, the two of you have also shown outstanding understanding in doubles."

"Exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, each played to their greatest advantage on the court!"

Maoli began to praise the two junior high school students generously.

Ochi stood aside and nodded silently to express his approval.

——This reflects the difference between the two high school students.

Maori can quote"before" (not seen for a year) to compare the present, and the praise he gives is not vague and official, but more targeted. It can be seen that he knows the two junior high school students quite well - especially the junior high school student who is against Haida.

"Of course, it would be better if you don’t use that move in the end, Xiaoniou!"

Maoli finally said what was in his heart.

It was pure true feelings, and he still has lingering fears.

"Phew, the progress of the seniors is not small."

And he showed it to me and Atobe so generously in public.……

——The senior’s intention of wanting him to lose was indeed"sincere"!

Niou curled his lips, looked at Maori and said

"senior——"

After watching the post-game socializing for a while, Atobe finally felt a little uncomfortable.

It’s better not to compare. Ever since the senior from Rikkai University spoke... it was really a stark contrast!

Although he was praised by Mouri, Atobe always felt that he was being left out standing next to Nioh.

"So, as mentioned before……"

The two seniors should hand over their badges quickly!

Atobe said and stretched out his hand.

The meaning is obvious - give him the badge

"Of course, the First Army badge from the U17 training camp is your trophy for this game."

Ozhi seemed to realize that he had neglected the Ice Emperor's juniors just now.

So he took off his badge very simply.

"And mine!"

Maoli also happily took off his badge.

Compared with the shock from the Second Army outside the stadium,——

"We won a spot in the U17 training camp!"

The two high school students seemed very indifferent at this time, and they didn't attach much importance or nostalgia to the badges. So, the badges were placed in their respective palms and passed in the direction of the junior high school students. They were very excited just now.

Atobe, who simply asked for the"trophy", now hesitated and did not directly take one of the badges.

Minister Hyotei looked at the middle school student of Tatekai University inquiringly-Which one do you want?

Although Atobe He is very interested in NO.9, but he wants Nioh to choose first

——Because he admitted that Nioh was the one who contributed the most to win this doubles match!

Whoosh - but the change happened in just a few seconds!

Compared to Maori, who was tired and had a headache, Ochi, who still had some energy left, had already reacted when the ball was still on the way.

——Although from Niou's point of view, this is probably because Hyotei high school students know their colleagues and are still vigilant.

But Nioh, who also"understood the First Army" but was not prepared and did not take action at this time, had a reason for waiting like this! boom!

Whoosh - another tennis ball shot out of the air, directly knocking away the tennis ball that Naozhi came from the position of Ochi and Mori.

Another tennis ball flying in roughly the same direction was a step too late and missed.

Snapped!

Seeing the three tennis balls falling to the ground one after another, Yue Zhi's heart, which had been tense for a moment, finally fell to the ground.

Yuezhi Yueguang, who reacted, made a subconscious"choice" at the first moment."——After all, he couldn't react faster than the first tennis ball, so he had to save the gross profit first!

However, he held down his doubles partner and protected the senior junior to his chest. The menacing and powerful tennis ball was probably about to hit him in the face.

——No one likes to be hit in the face with a tennis ball.

So, it's really nice to be able to avoid it.

Letting go of the junior Maori who was holding him down, Yuezhi Yueguang's face remained expressionless, and there was no trace of the cold sweat on his back just now.

"Moonlight-san!"

Maoli didn't hide his fright. He was mainly frightened by Yuezhi's actions.

——That’s a face, Moonlight Sang!

Although he was pinned down, and although he still had a headache, Maoli could still see the path of the thrilling ball just now. if not……

"Who hinders my execution!"

The racing thoughts of the Rikkai University high school student were interrupted by the manic voice from the Ijun players' bench.

The person who hit the first ball was Ijun No. 8 Tono Atsukyo, the executioner on the court!

However, the remaining Those who scored two goals did not panic or panic.

"Sorry, Mu Shou, I stole your ball."

Minister Li Hai said with a smile.

"But I think I had priority for that shot just now!"

Yukimura Seiichi stood up very seriously and explained to the junior high school students in the second army.

"Senior Maori is no longer an army, right?"

"Li Hai Da's people are responsible for Li Hai Da, so even if he wants to fight……"

Minister Yukimura paused for a moment and looked at his deputy minister.

His deputy minister immediately had a bad feeling

"Sanada, do you want to impose 'iron fist sanctions' on your seniors? Yukimura asked in a very"democratic" manner.

Minister Tatekai's inquiry was kind and gentle, and it sounded many times better than the irritable speeches of the first army players.

However, the players who could understand Japanese They all felt even more shocked than before -

Are you serious about your Rikkai Tennis Club?!

Iron Fist sanctions, does Sanada really want to use it here?!

Eyes of horror, eyes of pity... all looked at them Stadium.

Even Ochi looked at Maori silently, and then slowly moved a step to the side.

——The intention of standing far away to avoid twists and turns is very obvious.

"Yukimura! junior minister……"

"You're not serious, are you, Nioh-chan?"

It's unbelievable. Maori, who just escaped from No. 8 of the First Army, doesn't want to believe that he will be treated so cruelly by his juniors.

"Isn’t that what the tennis club rules, Mori-senpai?"

Nioh insisted on his honesty even more"cruelly".

Tachibashi Daisho outside the stadium and Tatekai Taisho on the court sang and harmonized perfectly to reconcile the depressing atmosphere caused by the ball just now.

——It's just a pain for Genichiro Sanada, the deputy minister of Ritsukai who is attracting attention from all sides.

——There is also the"cold treatment" of the First Army executioner Tono Atsukyo.

Sanada was probably used to this kind of experience. He sat upright, unmoved except for the blue veins popping up on his forehead.

But Tono couldn't stand it anymore - he picked up his racket and started walking to the auditorium on the 1st Army side.

"Boy, since you made such a move - as a substitute, come down and be executed by me!"

Regardless of it, the angry Tono Atsukyo walked towards the court before Byodoin Phoenix gave the order.

"Wait for me, Tono."

After being stunned for a moment, Kimijima Ikuto stood up helplessly.

If he appeared without permission, it would be easy to win; if he lost... his eyes flickered under his spectacles, and No. 7 of the First Army followed him with a friendly smile. His partner walked out of the auditorium.

Nioh, who was still parked in the stadium watching the show silently, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was great that the First Army did not send their third person down.

——What he was waiting for and looking forward to was this doubles match!

——It's not in vain that he did nothing just because his senior was about to be beaten!

【What I just told Senior Maori was the truth, but it’s a pity that Senior didn’t believe me!】

【The seniors can still stand up and walk off the court, but the fate of these two seniors is hard to say.……】

Nioh Masaharu didn't know what the angry Minister Tatekai would do on the court.

But comparing the actions of the angry Seigaku genius, Niou felt that he could look forward to the next doubles match.

Ps, Sanada: No, I don’t want to use"iron fist sanctions" in front of so many people!

The following is a double match (Yukimura, Kite VS Kimijima, Tono), the reasons are described one after another in the previous article. The spoilers have already begun – Yukimura is angry, so… don’t even think about walking off the court!
