Chapter 97 Night Talk
After the sky completely darkened, Echizen Ryoma walked out of the cave, looked at Coach Mifune sitting alone on the stone pier, and couldn't help but ask: "Hey~ are you the Instructor?"
When he mentioned the words 'instructor', he kept recalling in his mind that when he lost to Kazuya Tokugawa before coming to Goyama, the guy just said to him with an indifferent face, 'I suggest You go find the Taoist instructor'.
However, he did not expect that the sloppy old man in front of him would be the 'instructor' praised by Kazuya Tokugawa who easily defeated him, so when he heard the yellow-haired high school student talking about 'instructor', he Then he was stunned for a moment.
"So what." Mifune glanced at Echizen, then left with the wine gourd, "I advise you not to talk to me if you have nothing to do."
Echizen Ryoma stayed where he was and silently watched Mifune walk away.
……
U-17 base, Tokugawa Kazuya's dormitory.
Onijujiro Tokugawa Kazuya and Irie Kanata are gathering together to discuss today's two games.
"Ghost, I didn't expect you to lose to a junior high school student!" Irie put a hand over his mouth to hide the curved corners of his mouth.
The ghost glanced at him emotionlessly, "That kid named Yukimura Seiichi has a very strong spirit."
"And his other dimension..." Tokugawa said hesitantly.
"I didn't expect that a different dimension would be opened in junior high school, but... it's not complete yet..." Irie Kanata tapped the table with his fingers.
"But it's pretty good that he can do this at his age." There was a hint of appreciation in Gui's eyes.
"Indeed, but -" Irie agreed, and then changed his tone, "The brat named Amamiya Arashi who fought Tokugawa was not easy either!"
"?!" Tokugawa Kazuya was a little confused, "That boy... just has a few more fancy moves..."
"Is that just this?" Irie looked at Tokugawa.
"..." Tokugawa Kazuya didn't know what was special about it, so he remained silent.
"When you were fighting, the mental energy I developed was counterattacked." Looking at the silent Tokugawa, Irie simply expressed his feelings while watching the game, "Besides, that kid has a special kind of strength."
"Oh? Special power?" Gui seemed to be interested.
Irie's eyebrows were smiling, and he raised a finger in front of his mouth, "I don't know the details~ But this matter must be kept secret~"
"..." Hearing what Irie said, Oni also changed the topic very cooperatively, but maybe Irie wouldn't like this new topic, "You have to pay more attention to the game with that guy tomorrow..."
"e=(′o`*))) Sigh" Irie's face fell, but it didn't take long for him to put on his usual smile again. He really didn't want to compete with these monster junior high school students at first, but when he thought about the style of the boy who challenged him... wasn't he the equivalent of a replica of Ajiu Dou! Thinking of this, many interesting ideas suddenly appeared in his mind.
Compared with his teammates who already know his own strength, this junior high school student who is suspected of playing data tennis like Ajiu Dou and who does not know his own strength is definitely more likely to fall into the hole he dug, and he might even dig it himself. Cover it with soil.
As he thought about it, the smile on Irie's face became sweeter and sweeter. Oni and Tokugawa who were watching on the side felt a chill, and they couldn't help praying for the person who Irie was targeting.
……
Niou lives in the same dormitory as Hyotei's Kaji, but because Kaji lost to his opponent in the match and was 'eliminated', and the coaching staff has not been reassigned, this dormitory is currently Nioh lives alone.
Nioh's 'single' dormitory was the best place for Rikkai members to discuss matters compared to the others.
Indoors, Nioh was lying on the bed with one hand on his face, Yukimura and Yanagi were sitting on the small sofa respectively, Amamiya Arashi and Marui were sitting on the edge of the table, and the other was leaning on the wall with his arms folded.
"Today's game...what do you think?" Yukimura crossed his hands and rested them on his legs.
Yanagi put down the book in his hand and opened his eyes, "That senior Oni Jujiro didn't use his true strength. And..."
"And he is stronger than Tokugawa-senpai in Court No. 1." Amamiya Lan jumped down from the table and continued, "There is also Irie-senpai in Court No. 3. I think he may be somewhat similar to Nioh. "
"..." Niou opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment, but then he realized, "What do you mean by being similar to me?"
"I like the feeling of playing with others..." Amamiya Arashi added as he walked towards Yukimura.
"Hahahahahaha" Marui couldn't help laughing, "You deserve it, fox!"
Looking at Amamiya Arashi walking next to him, Yukimura smiled and moved a little bit inward, intending to leave some space for Amamiya Arashi, but Amamiya Arashi sat directly on the armrest of the sofa where Yukimura was sitting.
"Also, I feel that senior Irie's mental strength is not low~" Amamiya Lan ignored Niou's dissatisfaction and turned to look at Yanagi with a smile, "Renji, be careful!"
"Do you like to play with other people's personalities and have super high mental power..." Liu quickly refined the key points of Amamiya Lan's words, and then started to complain, "By the way, Nioh's mental power is also pretty good?! Plus, you The character of 'The Deceiver'... seems to be quite similar indeed."
"How come even the military advisor is like this~" King Ni curled his lips as if he was dissatisfied, and then thought of something, "In this case, does it mean that if I study with that senior... my strength can be improved..."
Hearing Nioh's words, Amamiya Lan, Yukimura and Yanagi exchanged glances with each other. They had indeed not considered this possibility before, but now that Nioh has raised it, they also need to think about this possibility. If Nioh If we can take further steps under the guidance of Irie-senpai... that would also be a good thing.
While the four of them were thinking about this possibility, another person in the room, Bunta Marui, was also lost in thought, but he was thinking about something different from the four of them.
Arashi and Yukimura have already entered a different dimension, while Yanagi and Sanada are already strong and talented players. I believe they will improve again after training in the U-17, except for these four who have always been under pressure at Rikkai Tennis. Apart from the mountains where the members of the club have gone, the current strength of Nioh has far exceeded that of the other members of the tennis club... Now in Rikkai Dai's team, he can only compete with Yagyu, Kuwahara and Kirihara. Well, apart from Kuwahara who can definitely win, the other two might be killed if they are not careful.
He was obviously the main candidate of Tatekai Dai, but he didn't want to be too weak... Marui sighed quietly, thinking that maybe Nioh could take another step forward soon, but he had no idea of how to improve his strength, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. Of course, Marui was just sad because he couldn't keep up with his friend's pace, not because he was jealous of his friend or anything else.
Not long after, Marui looked at a few people and found that they were still immersed in the previous thoughts, so he quickly put away his negative emotions. He...at least, he didn't want others to know yet...because he couldn't keep up with his companions. saddened by the footsteps.
