Chapter 111 Illusions and dreams appear
The three people who were trying to catch the ball on the court didn't bother to listen to the comments of the junior high school students who were completely unable to move.
They were all busy trying to hit back Coach Mifune's serve.
Among the three, Toyama simply wants to become stronger and 'compete' with Echizen;
Kiri's principle is to become a person who can make Minister Yukimura, Amamiya-senpai and Yanagi-senpai proud, and at the same time shoulder the responsibility of leading Rikkai University to continue, and fulfill the oath he made when he first entered school—— Defeat the seniors! Although it is unlikely that this vow will be fulfilled, Kirihara still has no intention of giving up~
As for Echizen Ryoma... when he first came to Back Mountain, all he wanted to do was work hard to become stronger, defeat Tokugawa Kazuya first, and then challenge Oni Jujiro. With his own intuition, he easily felt that Oni Jujiro was currently obviously stronger than Tokugawa Kazuya.
But... after getting used to it, Echizen's mind became a little more relaxed as he caught the ball, and he thought about the person he met in the woods around dawn.
……
"Hi!" The high school student with curly yellow hair smiled and greeted Echizen.
Echizen Ryoma lifted the brim of his hat, "You are..."
"Don't you recognize me?" The man seemed a little confused. Then he took out a pair of black round glasses and put them on, and then asked: "What about this? Do you recognize me?"
"Ah!" Echizen looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He was the former head of Seigaku-Yamato Yudai.
"It looks like you recognize it~" Yamato took off his glasses and put them back into his pocket with a smile, and then looked at Echizen, "Today, there will be a match between Tezuka and me. Do you want to come and watch?"
"..." Echizen was silent for a moment and replied, "These have nothing to do with me... What's more, I want to stay here for special training."
Yamato Yudai lowered his head, as if he was thinking about how to persuade Echizen to watch the game. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he said meaningfully: "Maybe, this will be Tezuka's last game in this country, maybe!"
……
"boom--"
The words of Minister Yamato came to mind, and Echizen's response to Coach Mifune's serve became stronger. After running for so long with a lead-filled tennis racket, his shirt was soaked with sweat.
"Little man, are you a little too anxious?" Although Kirihara was also eager to improve his strength, under the guidance of his seniors, he knew that the prerequisite for improving his strength was to protect his body, so for Echizen's desperate posture, he Still he asked with some concern.
Hearing Kirihara's words, Toyama on the side also slowed down and said with concern, "Actually, sometimes you can't be too anxious..."
About seven meters behind Echizen, his direct seniors at Seigaku - Takeshi Momoro, Shuichiro Oishi and Takashi Kawamura also looked at him with concerned eyes.
Realizing the concern of his friends around him, Echizen didn't want to speak, but he still said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Then he looked at Mifune Irido, who was serving.
……
"I'm still very nervous! After all... I haven't played with you like this for a long time..." On the court, Yamato Yu laughed and looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was about to serve.
"..." Upon hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu just raised his head and glanced at Yamato, and then jumped up to serve.
"boom--"
"Come on, have a laugh!" Watching Tezuka throw the ball high into the sky, then jump up and swing the racket, Yamato also started running on the court, "Even so...it must be of no use to you!"
"Bang——" Along with Yamato's words, the ball was successfully returned by him.
"Drink!" Accompanied by Tezuka's voice, the tennis ball turned into a beam of light and bounced to the baseline.
"15-0, Tezuka Kunimitsu scores"
"Sure enough...compared to when I fought you before, there is a huge difference!" Looking completely unconcerned, Yamato turned around and looked at Tezuka.
Tezuka, on the other hand, didn't want to speak and continued to serve.
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
"30-0"
"40-0"
"Tezuka wins this game, 1-0"
As Tezuka continued to score, the referee also kept reporting scores.
"Hey! Yamato, why are you being beaten by your own juniors! Why don't you hurry up and be more serious! You brat!" Nakago Uidou, who was sitting cross-legged on the lawn, shouted dissatisfied as he looked at the situation on the field. .
"...Oh, okay, okay..." Yamato Yudai seemed a little helpless, then turned to Tezuka and said, "If this continues, you may soon be zero-blocked~"
"Dong, dong..."
"Now, there's no other way!" Yamato slapped the tennis ball on the ground, "Next, let's use my specially reserved trick."
"?!" Upon hearing this, Tezuka raised his head instantly, and then secretly became more vigilant.
"Specially reserved trick?" Irie walked to the edge of the Nakago inner and outer road at some point, and looked at Yamato Yudai with a puzzled tone, with some interest in his eyes.
However, Yamato's first ball was quickly hit back. Looking at the tennis ball hit back by Tezuka, he secretly said in his heart: Then, I'm going to make a move! Then, he swung hard towards the ball.
Looking at the tennis ball coming towards him, Tezuka found the correct position and swung the racket directly, but unfortunately... the racket was empty.
"15-0, Yamato scores"
"What's going on?" Tezuka was puzzled, "I obviously hit you just now!"
"No! That Tezuka, he actually swung it empty..."
"And it's still some distance away from the ball..."
The junior high school students outside the court were whispering, but...it seemed like what they saw was different from what Tezuka saw!
In the field, Yamato looked at Tezuka with confusion on his face, and explained: "Everything reflected in your eyes is just an phantom of fate. Is it a dream or reality?" As if he was not very clear, then Yamato closed his eyes and said softly, "How should I put it... let's call this move 'Fantasy Dream Appearance'"
