Chapter 196: Ambition
When Eri saw Ryoma again, it was in Seigaku the next day.
When she heard from the seniors that Ryoma had entered the waiting list for the team, the girl was very excited, although she didn't know and didn't know what was going on, but now she only knew that she was extremely happy at this time.
When Ryoma was selected for the backfill place, the number of Qingxue people who could enter the team gradually changed from two at the beginning to three, and the content of the training began to mainly revolve around and target the three. It's summer vacation, and there aren't many people in the club training there.
For example, members of the first year are required to conduct closed training, and non-regular members of the second year are only allowed to participate voluntarily. The training location is not in the school, but in those places that specialize in training tennis skills, and at this time, there are only official players left on the court, to be precise, it should only be a special training for Fuji, Ryoma, and Kikumaru!
But in the next second, the fox was in a trance, and the words from Kevin's mouth yesterday sounded in her head, which made her slightly stunned.
"Eh, looking at your appearance, you must be the ignorant girl our team leader said!"
The girl frowned, still not understanding what this sentence meant, but at this time she had a strong premonition in her heart.
In the next second, a tennis ball fell from the sky and hit Eiko's forehead, making her instantly sober up.
The pain radiated from her head, and she covered her head and glanced at Ryoma, who was running towards her.
After a closer look, I realized that it was just when the boy was playing against Ah Tao, Haitang, Qian, Oishi and Kawamura, because he was not familiar with the rules of the game, his hand slipped and accidentally missed, and the ball flew out.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Ryoma looked at the girl in front of him with a worried face, his face was a little guilty, and he reached out and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke it.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
Eikoki nodded.
"Hmm"
She just came here to take a look at everyone's training, and she was accidentally stunned, but she didn't expect to accept the crit of this tennis ball head-on.
"It's really, it's really uncomfortable." Ryoma sighed, pulled the girl in front of him into his arms, and gently rubbed her head.
"What are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Ei Lifu blinked in the boy's arms.
"Come and see you training, and say congratulations to you."
"Huh?" The big hand that was rubbing suddenly paused, "Are you a fool?" Ryoma's amber vision glanced at the girl in his arms, and he laughed, and then continued to rub it.
"It's just like the resurrection of the defeated department, and I don't know if I can have a chance to play."
"Well, what does it matter? At least you're on the team, aren't you? Eiko shook his head, retorted in his arms, and then gently pushed the boy in front of him, separated from him some distance, raised his head to look at Ryoma, then smiled up, stretched out his finger and drew a circle on his chest, and because of this action, Ryoma suddenly blinked at her.
After a moment, as if knowing what she was trying to say, Ryoma withdrew his gaze, "yes..."
"But I think you guys have been training for a long time, so I won't bother you yet?" Speaking of this, Eri tilted his head and looked at Kikumaru and Fuji, who were running back and forth on the court, and then thought about this conclusion.
"Then you can train well~"
When the words fell, when Eko was about to turn away, suddenly the young man behind him grabbed her hand, and with a strong and incomparably hot hand, he also took her soul with him, and the pace under his feet also stopped.
"Wait a minute."
Eiko's heart jumped, and her mind suddenly went blank.
"Before... I'm sorry" Listening to the words coming from behind her, her heart tightened slightly, and she didn't know how to react for a while.
She also understood what the boy was referring to before, but it was so sudden.
“......”
Ryoma looked at the slightly flustered look in Eiko's eyes, he lowered his head and sighed, and when he wanted to let go of the hand that was holding the girl, suddenly the hand he was holding firmly was suddenly held by another white and petite hand.
My vision also appeared, and I don't know when I turned around, and my face had already changed to a smiling girl.
"Forgive me!"
Eiko smiled, raised her other hand and gently tapped the head of the young man in front of her.
"Not next time!"
A slightly pampered warning came out of her mouth.
Hearing this, Ryoma seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and chuckled, "Okay." ”
At this moment, Dashi, who was not far away, hurriedly ran like two people, with a new message in his mouth, as if the press conference of the American team was about to begin.
Inside the lounge.
"Why is it so formal! Even a press conference? Kikumaru stood aside and looked at the flickering images on the TV, a little curious.
"Not only was there a press conference, but the scale of this press conference was not small, and a lot of well-known sports weeklies and media outlets went." Ah Gan's words next door suddenly sounded, and he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, as always, explaining the information that came from nowhere.
"Eh, then Ah Qian, do you know who they are leading the team this time?" Kikumaru thought about it and blurted out such a question.
"Huh? I want to think about it......" Ah Qian flipped through the notebook he was carrying with him and began to chatter, "The coach's name seems to be Baker, and he is also a relatively famous person in the United States in recent years, but he is more of a businessman than a coach." ”
"You mean doing business through tennis?" When Ei heard this, he didn't think about telling his opinion.
"Yes, it is said that there are many sponsors for this competition." Ah Qian nodded, acknowledging Ei's words, and then added, "So that's why a press conference was held very grandly. ”
"I see." After silently listening to the chats of several people, Haitang nodded as if he had grown knowledge.
Dozens of minutes later, the time for the press conference also began, and a group of people from Qingxue were watching in front of a small TV in the lounge.
Momojo sat at the front.,Followed by Kaitang.,The other members sat casually nearby.,And Eiko because he felt a little bored.,So he stood alone at the back.,Ryoma on the side has been silently observing the girl next to him after entering the lounge.,Standing next to her without a trace.。
Baker's voice came over the TV.
"I'm very happy to be here today, and I'm Richard Baker, the coach in charge of leading the West Coast team!"
The corners of her mouth twitched as she looked at the gray-haired middle-aged man in front of the TV.
At first glance, the image of that person is not so much a coach as a very shrewd businessman, which does not match the word coach in the slightest.
In the next second, Beck's words shook Eiko
"I'm so sorry that people don't seem to know what real tennis is..."Baker looked at the camera, his eyes blazing,
"Guys, have you ever thought tennis is an art? Tennis is a form of entertainment, and when the best stage, the best actors, and the best performances come together, the tennis court can show a miracle of art, the most thrilling tennis in the world, and our American team will be here to show you! ”
Baker's impassioned speech left no stone unturned.
Listening to these words reminded Emi of a person.
The same is true of that person, who treats tennis as a plaything, and himself is the actor, who is sought after and loved to satisfy his vanity.
Ah Qian looked at the TV, a little confused, "So what kind of tennis is this guy talking about?" ”
"Have we never seen each other?" Hearing Baker talk about the so-called wonderful art for a long time, Kikumaru also wondered what was the difference between their own tennis and the tennis of the American team.
"Alright, now let me introduce the best actors on our West Coast team!"
"Actor...", Eiko muttered quietly, and Ryoma, who heard the words on her side, looked at her deeply and did not speak.
"America's cool boy, Billy Casey the Emperor!"
"The Red Dragon of Flames, McKee!
"Beautiful warriors, Tom Greffey and Terry Gliphy!"
"Steel Scorpion, Arnold Igny Hideo!
"Beast Bulldozer, Bobbi Max!"
"And our captain, the proudest warrior, Kevin Smith!"
Eiko, who hadn't been paying attention to the screen, finally looked at the TV squarely, and in the dazzling stage effects, Kevin walked out of the fog with a blank face.
Eiko unconsciously turned his head to look at Ryoma, who was also looking at the screen with an indifferent face.
The aura is similar, but the magnetic field is not.
