[Mainnet King] It’s not too much to use magic to play ball, right?

U-17 Training Base, Center Court

After Tezuka Kunimitsu used the Tezuka Domain, the phantom, in reverse, both the phantom and the real ball were ejected out of the field by the repulsive force.

"That move puts a lot of burden on the arm, right?" Amamiya Lan helplessly held up his forehead, "Tezuka really... takes the responsibility on himself every time~"

"Indeed, but... If Seigaku's side is his responsibility as a minister, but now it is a new journey, if Tezuka is still like this..." Yukimura, who was side by side with Amamiya Arashi, was also a little helpless, but he was watching. When he arrived at Tezuka Kunimitsu, Yukimura couldn't help but think of how Tezuka would rather give up his arms to win... This would make him think of himself.

But whenever he thinks of these things, he always feels lucky to see his companions around him. Fortunately, he is not the only one in Rikkai. If when he was sick, there would be no temporary acting minister Arashi, no Renji and no Ichiro to supervise tennis. In order to ensure the normal operation of the ministry... he may not be able to treat his illness with peace of mind. Maybe, like Tezuka, he would rather endure the pain than give up the victory he expected?

"Huh?" As if sensing Yukimura's mood was a little low, Amamiya Lan turned his head slightly, stretched out his hand hidden in his sleeve and squeezed Yukimura's hand quietly.

Feeling the strength coming from his hand, Yukimura raised his head and saw the worry in Amamiya Lan's eyes, and gave him a reassuring look, "I'm fine, don't worry."

When he felt the heat coming from Amamiya Lan's palm, Yukimura unconsciously put down the 'random thoughts' in his heart, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although Amamiya Arashi heard Yukimura say 'it's okay', he was still a little worried, but because Yukimura had said it, he couldn't speak directly again, so he kept looking at Yukimura with his peripheral vision, and because of this, he also looked at To Yukimura's smile.

It’s different from the gentle smile on Yukimura’s face every time, and it’s also different from the ‘schadenfreude’ he gets every time he ‘sneaks tricks’ on others, and the smiles he makes when he’s happy because of gifts, surprises, etc…

This smile is like the first ray of sunshine that peels away the fog, or the bright starlight that cuts through the night in the darkness... Looking at the simple but quickly disappearing smile on Yukimura's face, Amamiya Arashi couldn't help but feel relieved. Worrying, he understood that Yukimura was really fine at the moment, both physically and mentally.

Yukimura, who had let go of his worries, felt that his whole body felt much more relaxed, and his mental strength, which had almost stopped growing... seemed to be growing again.

The two people who ran over from Court No. 1 to watch the game seemed to be enjoying a quiet time.

But on the other side, Marui, who was still a member of Court No. 5 and was included in the competition list, but had already finished the competition, was dragged to Court No. 1 for training by Yanagi and Nioh who realized that his strength was still not enough. .

……

"Why can Yukimura and Amamiya go to the game!" Marui, who had been attacked by Tokugawa, Tanejima, Yanagi and Nioh, lay down on the court and asked this question through gritted teeth, but soon he realized that he had said it A stupid thing to say.

Several high school students around him, as well as Yanagi and Nioh, all looked at him with expressions that looked like a fool. But then, perhaps out of sympathy or some other reason, Nioh said with a twitching corner of his mouth, "Because both of them have reached the level of another dimension." Already..."

"..." Marui collapsed and covered his face with his hands, silently shouting in his heart: Actually, you don't need to say it...really! ! ! Also, Taneshima-senpai actually doesn’t need to cover his mouth anymore, I’ve seen it all! (╬◣д◢)...This world is not friendly at all QAQ...I miss Yukimura and Amamiya so much! ! !

Yanagi shook his head looking at Marui like this, and then worked together with Nioh to send Marui to the side who couldn't get up on his own. After all, he and Nioh would still have to receive 'guidance' from his seniors.

……

At the center court, Atobe, who saw that Tezuka was not just using the Phantom once or twice, but planned to use it all the time, couldn't help shouting: "Tezuka! Don't use it all the time! What if your hand gets hurt again?" "

But Tezuka had no intention of listening to Abe's words, and still tried his best to activate "Phantom" when Yamato used "Phantom Yumen".

"Bang -" the ball went out of bounds again.

"Foul ball! 4-4, both sides tie!" The referee began to judge the points. The score between the two sides also reached to unconsciously, still tied.

Seeing such a stubborn Tezuka, not only the junior high school students outside the court felt helpless, but Yamato, his opponent in this competition, was also helpless and melancholy, "Tezuka...you are really..."

"Tezuka! Do you remember what happened when we first met?" Yamato closed his eyes, then made up his mind and said: "At that time... I was suffering from being injured again and again... …”

"At that time... my teammates all felt sorry for my injuries. Although I said things like 'It doesn't matter, it's all of my own free will'... but so many times of rehabilitation exercises made me feel uncomfortable. I feel disheartened."

"But... just when I couldn't hold on any longer, you appeared. In the subsequent match with you, they all thought that my loss to you 0-6 was due to injury, so they all felt sorry for me, but in fact at that time I am very happy because I know there is finally hope for the future..."

"So I said those words to you - 'Become the pillar of Seigakus'" At this point, Yamato's voice suddenly became hoarse, "It was because of your appearance that I regained my interest in tennis." I loved it and got through the difficult rehabilitation training because of it.”

"I don't want... you to become what I was..." As he spoke, Yamato Yudai pulled up the long sleeves of his coat, revealing the hideous scar on his arm, "You always do it for the team. And sacrifice yourself... But it’s time for you to set yourself free!"

"From now on, please fight for yourself." Yamato Yudai solemnly said the last sentence.

The stadium was silent at this moment, and Tezuka was also lost in the memories of past games.

"Tezuka~" A moment later, Aobe in the stands looked at Tezuka proudly, "The pillars are not yours alone, right! Huh?"

"Sometimes, you should have a little faith in us, right?" Although it was a question, the words coming out of Atobe's mouth somehow turned into a statement, making people unable to help but act according to his words.

"..." Tezuka opened his mouth, but in the end he just looked at the people in the stands with complicated expressions.
