Net King: Nioh Phantom

As an ordinary"audience", Duke Watanabe is really innocent.

He had been watching the game seriously in the audience and did not much join in the conversation among his fellow high school students. Even if his colleagues were arguing about something, he was still good-tempered and listened to the conversations with a smile.

"……"

Today, the innocent Watanabe player is standing on the tennis court.

He held his tennis racket and faced the silver-haired boy on the other side of the net with subtle emotions.

——How did things come to this?

Duke Watanabe couldn't help but look up at his boss in the audience, Byodoin Phoenix

*

Just now——

"My halftime is over. Nioh said.

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the auditorium where the high school students gathered to watch the game.

"Oh, Niou, you used the wrong word."

"Shouldn't we use the expression 'halftime'?"

The pressure on the high school students' side was dropping due to the arrival of Byodoin Phoenix.

Although Mori Juzaburo has good psychological stress resistance and a goodMental stress resistance, but he didn't want to be too lively at this time.

But even though he had made up his mind to be cautious and low-key during such a period of time, Mori still responded to Niou's words immediately and gave his predecessor's kind words.

【Very good, it seems that Mori has not forgotten the inheritance of our Shitenhoji Temple in Rikkai University! 】

Ping Shanzhi burst into tears for some reason, which made Tetsuya Hara and the other high school students nearby couldn't help but look at him twice.

"ha? Is he provoking?!"

Unexpected, really unexpected -

Tono Atsukyo, a high school student player, was the first to understand Nioh's meaning.

He stared, gritted his teeth, and perfectly accepted Nioh's"provocation""

"It's not wrong, Mori-senpai."

Nioh said, looking at the senior high school student with purple shawl hair in surprise, and once again realized that"this senior does have an astonishingly detailed perception on certain things."

But the high school student The"grievances" of the seniors are not something that he, a junior high school student, should get involved in. Nioh finally separated himself from the"captain battle" on the junior high school students' side, and he didn't want to join the high school students again. Volunteer in the"psychological counseling" group here

"My game is actually not over yet~"

Niou continued to say to Mori

"Although the competition with Tooin-senpai is over, but……"

Maori, who was listening to the junior's words, suddenly had a bad premonition.

After the match between his junior Niou and Byodoin's boss, shouldn't he just leave the game and let everything be easy? Why is there still a"but"？？

"Now that I got this badge, I think——"

Nioh looked at a certain part of the auditorium where high school students gathered.

【This direction is……】

【——！！！】

A group of high school students and junior high school students followed Nioh's gaze and looked at Byodoin Phoenix

"Watanabe-senpai, are you interested in playing with me on the court?"

——Duke Watanabe, who was looking at his boss with the crowd, was caught off guard. He heard his name from the junior high school student's words.

Duke Watanabe was sitting next to Byodoin.

Their seats are next to each other.

Therefore, where the junior high school student who is now at the center of"all the attention" is looking is exactly where he is. It's just that they were all misled by another more influential person before.

"You want me to end?"

Duke Watanabe still had surprise in his eyes at that time.

At that time, he was not aware of Nioh Masaharu's intention of doing this. He only thought that it was a rash move made by a junior high school student out of pride.

"After playing three full games with the boss, your energy has been almost exhausted by now, right?"

Although Watanabe is very dominant in the game, he is still very easy to talk to in daily life, especially when facing powerful people - after the game between Nioh and Byodoin, Duke has fully recognized his ability. A new NO.1 player.

So now he is very kind and wants to politely reject Nioh.

With Nioh's current state, everyone can see that if he plays a three-set game with him, he will definitely lose. Yes! This has nothing to do with tennis prowess, but with the inexhaustible limit of physical strength.

But what Duke, Maori and others didn’t expect was……

"Then let's have a 'Seven-Ball Showdown'!"

Byodoin Phoenix spoke.

Although this high school student is already the"ex-NO.1", others do not dare to ignore Byodoin Phoenix's opinions no matter what.

"Then let’s ask the seniors of Byodoin to be the referee!"

Nioh said happily, waving his hand in a"please" gesture towards Byodoin.

Things seemed to be beyond many people's expectations - the current No.1 and the former No.1, the two players reached a consensus in a few words.

Nioh took The racket went off the court without looking back, and the other player in the"Seven-Ball Showdown"...

The boss directly agreed. What could Duke Watanabe do?

His following Byodoin Phoenix was never because of the U17 training camp. Badge.

With a helpless sigh, Duke Watanabe also walked into the court with his racket, together with Byodoin Phoenix as the referee.

*

Snapped! Snapped!

Nioh slapped the tennis ball with his hand, as if he was regaining the feel of the game, and also seemed to be using the sound and movement of hitting the ball to increase psychological pressure on his opponent.

Duke Watanabe, who was standing opposite the net, would certainly not be put under pressure by such a small gesture, but Nioh's sudden invitation to fight and Byodoin's unhesitating promise really made him confused.

【The boss seemed very satisfied with this matter. If I feel right... the boss is more satisfied with Niou-kun now than he was at the end of the game. 】

Duke Watanabe was moving his body on the court, warming up a little for the upcoming"seven-goal showdown", while he was thinking in his mind.

"well——"

He couldn't help but sigh, and wanted to borrow the catchphrase of his colleague Daqu Ryuji.

【forgive me——】

Does this mean he will lose the game, or will he win Nioh?

The boss just went to the refereeing job without telling him what the purpose of this seven-goal matchup was.

Duke Watanabe thought.

He has his own calculations in his mind.

If we continue to abide by the"60% strength criterion", the winner of the seven-goal duel will naturally be Nioh Masaharu.

But if he were allowed to let go... He played a full three-set match with the Byodoin. Would Nioh Masaharu still have the strength to face the full firepower of his"King of Destruction"?

"Watanabe-senpai."

Nioh began to carry out the final step of"preparations before the game".

He originally thought that Byodoin Phoenix Society would help him with this"preparations", but he did not expect that this senior was so satisfied with him and even I will continue to stand by and"watch the show""

"Senior, don't sigh anymore"

——He is obviously the one who should sigh!

Nioh originally wanted to study like his Mori senior, but because of what Byodoin Phoenix did before, and because of that NO.1 badge... in the end, he still couldn't escape?

The badge is honor and represents the status of the player.NO.1. The badge is the most special one. This badge not only represents the highest honor for the players in the U17 training camp, but also gives the tennis players certain corresponding responsibilities and pressures.

【Am I following Taneshima-senpai’s route?】

【……Be a good teammate who 'listens' and is 'willing to talk'? ? 】

Niwang thought of this, and he almost shuddered.

Taneshima-senpai's route didn't suit him at all. For the sake of the NO.1 badge, although he doesn’t want to do"extracurricular work", he might as well try another route of"earning his own living"

——Of course, changing his route doesn't mean he wants to fight for the captain's position.

"The responsibility of"Captain" will soon be successfully given to his great minister Yukimura Seiichi, Ritkai. He believes that Yukimura will be a good captain with no blind spots!

"The position of"Captain" is so suitable for Yukimura. With Yukimura's desire for control, he and the position of captain of the U17 junior high school representative team are simply a"match made in heaven"!

Complain a few words about his own minister to relieve mental fatigue, so as to make himself Can face the"seven-goal duel" with a better attitude"——

He is very subjective and proactive in making himself more proactive. Niou's mood is actually not very bad.

He didn't realize it himself.

After he got the No. 1 badge, his own attitude changed subtly. Later, although he was verbally bullied by some players in a subtle way, his mental state became more relaxed in this"verbal confrontation"!

This"relaxed mental state" was still beating towards a more active peak when he invited high school students to the"Seven-Ball Showdown".

After Byodoin Phoenix understood his idea and directly agreed, it almost reached its peak!

So at that time, Nioh without hesitation extended an invitation to"be a referee" to this senior - whether it was based on the player's credibility or his personal familiarity with high school students, the person Nioh invited to be the referee should be Shuji Tanejima is right.

However, Nioh chose the senior Byodoin Phoenix without any consideration - in the eyes of others, this was undoubtedly testing the edge of Byodoin Phoenix's patience, and could even be said to be"jumping left and right."

But the current Nioh didn’t think so much.

He just did what he wanted, completely ignoring the shock of his Mori-senpai and the surprise of Tanejima-senpai.

"I am willing to use this badge as a bargaining chip to compete with my seniors.~"

"This is probably the easiest way to get the NO.1 badge since the establishment of U17 - just have a seven-goal duel.’"

"Watanabe-senpai onlyIf you defeat me, you can get this badge."

Nioh's words are just like the fuses of explosives that are continuously connected.

Just waiting for the last explosion.

Whoosh~~

A badge shining brightly in the sun arcs across the air.

"This badge will be handed over to Byodoin-senpai for safekeeping first!"

Yes, the most important reason why Nioh invited Byodoin Phoenix to be the referee is this.

He wanted this senior high school student to"help" keep this No. 1 badge.

"Hello, Mori."

In the audience of high school students, Ida Oji spoke with difficulty.

"Is that junior of yours serious?"

Sitting here, he can feel the suffocating atmosphere on the court.

"Xiaoniou seems to be deliberately irritating Watanabe-san."

Maoli's tone also became more subtle, because he found that he didn't seem to"know" this white-haired junior who he was familiar with before.

"deliberately?"

Ochi, who was sitting next to Mori, could feel his junior and doubles partner's stiffness at that moment.

Who would have thought that Nioh Masaharu could be like this on the court?……""Lively"?

Yuezhi Yueguang thought so, and fell silent again.

It turns out that Maori's character and performance are really not"lively". Yuezhi thought so, and felt a little faint because of his previous"misunderstanding" of Maori. apologies

"And it’s not just that, have you all seen it? Did I read that correctly?"

"Byodoin immediately accepted the badge!"

Irie Kanata has a strong desire to perform. He speaks very fast, and his voice rises at the end, almost screaming.

"……Is this considered throwing it back?"

Taneshima Shuji joined the discussion.

Then because of his words, the"high school student discussion group" immediately stopped.

Irie Kanata, who is the most dramatic person, could not naturally answer his question that ruined the atmosphere.

Irie Kanata Duo put away his frightened expression, his expression calmed down, and his face darkened.

And the other high school students - even Irie couldn't continue acting. Are the other high school contestants still interested in talking?

They all look like It's like a shipwreck, you can't speak, otherwise you will be suffocated with no oxygen in the next second.

Ps, whispered: Well, let's put it in a simple perspective, this is actually Nioh's stamp collection for the U17 training camp game. List of high school student representative teams : 1 Byodo-in 2 Tanejima 4 Currently there are 5 Tokugawa Oni, and the top five are missing our King of Destruction NO. 3 Watanabe! (Does this ruin the atmosphere...)

Pps, double update, Hurry up and praise me qwq!
