Net King: Nioh Phantom

There is a phenomenon of"sudden silence after excitement" among high school students.

Although there were no returning contestants in the auditorium where the junior high school students were sitting - Byodoin took the first step but Nioh had not returned yet, the atmosphere in their side changed almost in sync with that of the high school students.

First, there was a noisy sound like a frying pan, then the sound gradually became quieter without realizing it, and finally turned into the dead silence like now!

"……"

Silence, silence.

The eyes of the junior high school students looked at each other from time to time, and then quickly looked away.

Anyone who cares can see the thousands of words contained in each other's eyes, but because of the silent shock in their hearts, they did not say anything to each other until they finally looked away.

Marui Bunta silently averted his gaze - he had just looked at each other with Kitate Eishiro and confirmed that the other party also had the same emotion of"not saying anything" and"it's best to remain silent at this time." Don't talk" the firm belief.

Therefore, the red-haired Tatekai Daisho quietly diverted his attention.

His expression was impeccable and normal.

Marui Bunta moved his gaze calmly, and when people around him were doing the same thing, he really seemed to"lose sight of everyone" by doing so.

However, things did not develop as Marui thought.

He held his breath and held his breath. He had just turned his gaze away from Higa with an attitude that"appeared to be relaxed but was actually tense" when he met a gaze heading straight for him.

That look is too"different", especially at this time

【Jack——！！】

As soon as he caught Kuwahara's gaze, Marui almost stood up in shock.

It’s not that Marui Bunta is timid and makes a fuss, everyone in the Rikkai Daisho team—excluding Kirihara Akaya who still believes in Santa Claus—except for Yagyu who is afraid of ghosts and supernatural beings, everyone else is brave. Relatively large.

Marui Bunta was so frightened that his heart trembled. It was because the eyes of his friend who looked over contained too many full emotions.

【what happened? 】

Marui calmed down, and his thinking, which had been suspended due to fright, began to recover.

【Did I just miss a conversation? Why did Jack look like he was about to cry? 】

But even if he calls himself a"genius" and has a high emotional intelligence, he still can't understand Kuwahara's sadness at this time.

Kuwahara's sadness at this moment was almost overflowing...

It was as if he would cry directly in the next second.

【？？？】

Question marks in large letters filled Marui's mind, jumping back and forth in a row.

The red-haired Tatekai Daisho thought to himself, my partner's emotions are really too rich. He didn't know about this before - was Kuwahara so sentimental?!!

I don't know that Kuwahara's sensitive nerves were touched entirely because of the"unspoken" look between him and Kite just now. Marui just reasoned based on the current situation.

Compared with some junior high school players who just follow the crowd and keep silent because of the atmosphere, Marui, who is very good in both business and economics, can understand the real reason why the current atmosphere is dead.

——Just look at Guan Yue who is pinching his hair and his fingertips are turning white. You can tell that many people have some misunderstanding.

【……Think we're going to have civil unrest? 】

Quickly glanced at the smiling Minister Rikkai, then at Minister Hyotei with his lips curled up, and then at the Vice Minister Rikkai with a satisfied expression on his face. Marui Bunta felt that many people had misunderstood the matter. It’s too complicated to think about.

However, even though he thought so, he also forgot what he had done"

——Although he thinks he"sees clearly and thinks clearly", isn't he just as silent as everyone else, and is he still looking at certain people quickly and carefully?

"It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. In this situation, no one spoke to break the silence of the atmosphere.

Higa Nakamura sat upright, as if he could not feel the embarrassing atmosphere around him.

Fudomine Minister actually wanted to I exchanged my thoughts with my friends at Shitenhoji Temple after watching the game, but at this time, they only communicated with their eyes.

Ibu Fukaji, who was so famous in the tennis circles outside the school, and his little friend Akira Kamio, were quiet. Quiet. If they hadn't glanced at other people's expressions from time to time, it would have been as if the stop button had been pressed. The

Hyokui players were also quiet. They were all honest. They were so well-behaved on the ground that they were probably not so well-behaved and quiet during class.

Yushi Ninzu, who always complained about being outstanding, stared at the ground as if he was watching a movie.

Jirou Akutagawa, who was excited because of the exciting competition, didn't know when Already asleep.

Hijiruo's face was expressionless, as if he was sitting in meditation...

The players of the entire Hyokui team seemed to have copied and pasted collectively, and each one became a template for Kaji, just waiting for their leader to speak. Then say"wushi" and there will be no further meaning.

As for the most active Tentenhoji - the players of Shitenhoji are like their numbers have been stolen.

Except that the blinking of their eyes can show that they are really still alive. , they were all pretending that they were stone sculptures.

So, just when the atmosphere was stiff and awkward, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, the director of Shitenhoji Temple, although his expression was nothing special, he was extremely moved in his heart!

【——It turns out that my teammates can still be so quiet! It’s really superb!! 】

Shiraishi Kuranosuke's mood was extremely excited at such an inopportune time.

The minister of Tiantianbao Temple was very pleased. He looked at the players in the other tennis teams, and then at his teammates at Shitenbaoji, and felt that their Shitenbaoji was not as"unsociable" as the"legend" said!

A certain junior high school student director with brown hair is such a dramatist - he pretends to be serious and nervous on the outside, but in fact he is very lively on the inside.~

"……？？"

"Why did everyone suddenly stop talking?"

Toyama Kintaro blinked, his face full of doubts.

——Shiraishi Kuranosuke was still too happy too early.

Although children are naturally intuitive and can sensitively detect changes in the atmosphere, because they are too sensitive... Kintaro directly used his intuition to expose the evil intentions of some seniors who"deliberately kept quiet and waited to see the joke". Fun scam.

The real situation is actually not as complicated and tense as most people think.

Fuji Shusuke squinted his eyes and looked at Kintaro Toyama with regret and smiled - his smile relaxed the atmosphere, but in the opposite direction, it also successfully aroused the main candidates of the academy such as Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji. sense of crisis.

This"sense of crisis""……It’s probably the same feeling that makes Fuji’s Seigaku teammates feel like Karubin.~

"snort."

Ajiu Jinren snorted impatiently.

"Is there any next game?"

He actually said it!

He actually asked it so directly!!

Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata were horrified at the same time - it's not that they don't have the courage, it's that the current situation is too vague and confusing.

What does the high school boss of the First Army mean when he just throws his No. 1 badge?

Is it true appreciation, resignation, or... direct appointment?

If the"appointment" of the carriage and horse is made clear, then the next game The two players in the competition, their positions are equivalent to no one!

Kentaro Minami judges others by himself. He is a gentle boy, but he actually cares about his title of captain in his heart. So byodoin Phoenix is ​​so Do——The NO.1 badge he gave to Niou really won’t cause chaos?

Even if the two parties involved, Seiichi Yukimura and Keigo Atobe, don’t care, people like them will care about this kind of thing.

Like It was him and Sengoku.

Sengoku had never provoked him, nor had he tried to compete for the captain's position, but he had secretly compared himself with Sengoku many times.

Before Akutsujin spoke, it was precisely because of these thoughts that he In the past, Kentaro Minami felt a little heavy.

But just as a certain emotion will suddenly change when it reaches the extreme - for example, when disappointment reaches the extreme, it means despair. After Kentaro Minami was frightened to a critical point, he now has" It felt like a sudden enlightenment.

He suddenly understood

【Strong strength - Even if you are ranked No. 1, you are not necessarily the captain. Isn't Akutsu an example? He has no patience with trivial matters and meeting arrangements. 】

Although Akutsujin’s academic performance is very good, Akutsu really doesn’t want to interfere with the affairs of the Yamabuki Tennis Club.

【Wait—could this guy Sengoku not be willing to be a minister for this reason?!! 】

The spark of thinking suddenly appeared.

Kentaro Minami's expression that was about to relax turned tense again.

——Yamabuki, a big crisis of trust!

A gloomy aura enveloped Minami Kentaro, and even Eastern Masami, who wanted to say something, fell silent. Sengoku Seijun felt guilty for some reason under Minami Kentaro's gloomy aura.

In this way, Akutsujin's words were like throwing a pebble into the deep sea. After a little splash, there was no superficial reaction. ps, the middle school students here are thundering. I'm about to take a vacation, oh yeah!
