Tezuka walked to the sink of the tennis department, put down his glasses, and took the water with his hand to wash his face, after washing his face, he tightened the faucet with one hand, and looked for his glasses with the other hand on the sink. "It's kind of like a duel speech."

Tezuka's back straightened, his face relaxed, and he took the towel handed over: "You heard me." Then he wiped it on his face. What do you think about today at this point to come to the tennis club. ”

"There's nothing going on in the company today, I ended a little early, so I'll take a look." Rico laughed;

"I'm done here, change your clothes and go." Tezuka puts on glasses.

Echizen saw this scene and understood, and he was about to leave with a tennis bag on his back, but was stopped by the coach: "Did Tezuka tell you?" The game thing. ”

"Yes." Ryoma was a little confused.

The coach was speechless, turned around and crossed his waist: "He is serious, you have to be mentally prepared, he is much better than your previous opponents, similar to your father." Ryoma calmly reminded.

"Hah-" Ryoma continued to be confused.

"That's it." After the coach reminded him, he walked to the office building.

In the evening, Ryoma was bored throwing balls at home, and remembering Minister Tezuka's words in the afternoon, he got up and went to Rico's room.

"Sister! Can you talk to me for a moment? ”

"Okay, what's wrong? Ryoma, with a look of embarrassment. Rico saw his absent-minded state.

Ryoma entered the room and sat on the stool: "Sister, didn't you play with Tezuka?" Is he amazing? ”

"When you watched Sadaharu Kan play with him at that time, you could find that his true level is not easy to see." Rico replied.

"The more I ask, the more irritated I become." Ryoma muttered quietly.

"Match with Tezuka, come on Ryoma!" Rico looked at him a little overwhelmed.

"I see, just beat him like I usually beat my opponent." Ryoma suddenly got motivated and walked out talking to himself.

"Really?" Rico sat by the window, flipping through the book and thinking, "Don't cry your nose." "The wind outside the window started to get stronger, and Rico's hair became messy, and she had to get up and close the window." Don't think about it so much, go to sleep! ”

Several people came to the tennis court under the viaduct as promised. Rico watched from afar, and Ryoma and Tezuka walked onto the tennis court, ready to take their seats.

"Can we start?" Kunimitsu Tezuka said solemnly;

"You can start anytime." Ryoma was undaunted.

Echizen's one-footed basic broken step priority jump, Tezuka began to throw the ball with his left hand, jumped, and hit the ball with his racket to the opponent's court. Ryoma didn't have time to fight back, and the ball had already landed and jumped off the field, accompanied by the sound of a tram passing by.

"It's so fast." Ryoma said lightly, and quickly adjusted his state after seeing the change in his opponent's eyes.

Immediately after Tezuka, he sent the second ball, which was caught up by Ryoma and hit back, and the two sides entered a tug-of-war. There was one more person on the sidelines, Shuiichiro Oishi, who saw Tezuka use his left hand to play continuously, and his eyes were dark: "No, Tezuka, your elbow will hurt again." ”

Rico, who was standing on the side, saw this scene and walked up to Shuiichiro Oishi: "Don't worry, fight Ryoma, he won't frequently use the opponent's elbow load with a relatively large special move." ”

At this time, Ryoma on the field was already paralyzed on the ground and gradually tired. Tezuka hasn't sweated much yet, and he's ready to attack with a tennis racket.

"Echizen, can you beat me?" Tezuka shouted.

Hearing this, Echizen quickly stood up: "If you want me to defeat you, you can." ”

The match restarted, Echizen didn't say a word, couldn't see his expression, played an out-spin serve, and was accidentally hit back by Tezuka. "The outspin serve is useless for me."

"Yes, what a minister." Ryoma was not discouraged.

Ryoma continued to serve, "Sure enough, it's not a casual fight." Ryoma, this is the senior who gave you the most important thing in your life, study hard. Rico thought to herself, "Looks like your deadline for treating your arm is going to be brought forward, Tezuka." ”

As the game continued on the court, Tezuka began to give lessons to Echizen Ryoma, "Echizen, why are you playing tennis?" Why? Why? Why? ”

"Because it's going to bring down a man." Ryoma sent the ball out.

Tezuka hit back with the ball and said to him, "Is it enough to play tennis just because you want to knock down a person, Echizen." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Echizen does not understand.

"What do you have left after defeating that man?" The stadium is hot and hot, and the trams on the viaduct are constantly rushing by.

"What are you going to do after you knock that person down? What do you have left after that? Tezuka kept asking questions.

"I don't care about the future, I... I just care... The enemy in front of you. Echizen Ryoma fought back with all his might.

Tezuka made a pose with a heavy burden on his opponent's elbow and ended the game with a zero-style chipping shot. Ryoma felt incredible, and heard the other party, "Echizen, you hit me and I'll give it a try." "I immediately adjusted my motivation and continued to serve.

Rico made a long-distance call to inform the German Tennis Players Training and Rehabilitation Center to prepare materials for her.

Shuiichiro Oishi was immersed in his own world, as if shouting, "Tezuka, don't you waste your tennis hand." ”

The game continued.

Ryoma continued to fall behind the score, exhausted and out of breath, in stark contrast to Tezuka's lack of sweat, and continued to stiffen his mouth: "It's really worthy of being a minister, but... I'm not going to lose. "Continuing to serve to start the game, the game continued to be deadlocked.

Tezuka thought seriously: "Let me see, the tennis that only Echizen Ryoma can play, your own tennis." ”

At the end of the game, the score was 6:0, and Kunimitsu Tezuka won. I took the subway home with Oishi.

Ryoma followed his sister on the road, sullen.

"How is it like frost hitting the eggplant, it's gone! Do you have to give up your tennis because of one failure? "Rico is a good follower.

"Sister, he's really strong! I thought that except for the old man and you and I in this world, as long as I groped in the game, there was no opponent I couldn't defeat. Ryoma said sullenly.

"Yes! There are many opponents in this world, every tennis player is trying to grow, in order to defeat them one day sooner, you have to break through your current self, try to defeat them, and stand on the top. Rico reassured;

"What about my sister? Do you still play tennis? Ryoma noticed something strange in his words.

"Fighting, defeating the best players in the world, and constantly fighting for it, that is the happiest time! It's just a short adjustment now, and one day I'm going to be back in the ring and go against them. ”

"Good! When the time comes, my sister will give me a chance to play and let me fight you. Ryoma was a little excited inside.

"Hmm!" Seeing that his face was soothing, Ricle smiled with relief: "The rest can only be figured out by him slowly, and I can't help him!" ”

When they arrived at the door, the two sisters were changing their shoes, and Echizen Minamijiro heard the voice and walked out: "Yo, two teenagers, why are you so late, is it a date?" ”

"That's right!" After changing his shoes, Ryoma returned to his room with his tennis bag on his back.

Echizen Minamijiro panicked when he heard this: "Hey, hey! You two are brothers and sisters, Ryoma, you can't do such a thing. ”

"Uncle is making up some other strange things in his head." Rico reluctantly returned to her room and closed the door.

Rico sat on a stool and sent a text message to Tezuka: "The old wound hasn't recurred. ”

"It's fine!"

"Hard-mouthed."

The next day's club activities, Echizen Ryoma and Tezuka Kunimitsu took leave, and Rico just found an excuse not to go to the club, and accompanied Tezuka to the hospital with a computer bag.

"Does it hurt?" The doctor asked, pressing Tezuka's arm.

Tezuka sat on the stool and bent his waist: "It doesn't hurt, but please take a look at it just in case." ”

The doctor got up and turned to his desk, holding the film and looking at it, "No problem. However, although it is said to be cured, if you force yourself too much, the previous hard work will be in vain. ”

Tezuka lowered the sleeve that was rolled up on his arm: "Okay, thank you!" Something suddenly came to mind: "Please don't tell Oishi about me and my classmates coming here today." ”

The doctor understood: "I understand, being a minister is really hard. ”

Tezuka immediately stood up: "I'll take my leave first!" He was walking a few steps outside when he was interrupted by the words of the doctor who was watching the film: "You broke the ball, right?" Tezuka turned around and admitted this fact.

The doctor turned to face to face with him: "Why? As your attending physician, I have the right to intervene. ”

Tezuka recalls yesterday's situation, "Echizen, let's become a pillar of Seigaku!" Echizen, play your own tennis! ”

After the memories ended, Tezuka replied earnestly, "In order to stimulate the possibilities of the future...... In the future, tennis players will not only be able to catch up with the tennis players of the previous era, but also become players who must create a new era, so I have to play. ”

Ryoma went to the viaduct again, recalling yesterday's scene, "Let's become the pillar of Seigaku, and then keep moving forward, Echizen!" Then he returned home and challenged Minamijiro Echizen, who felt threatened for the first time and kept revealing his excitement unlike the feeling he had felt when he was used to playing.

As the match reached its climax, Ryoma finally got the score from his father, Minamijiro Echizen, with a raging fire burning in his eyes: "Dad, I'm going to get stronger, stronger, stronger." ”

Echizen Nanjiro went from surprise to sighing: "It's the right choice to go to Qingxue, although I don't know who is the person who gave him these things?" It actually made Ryoma ignite his fighting spirit. Seeing that his son was full of excitement, he leaned on the fence and teased: "You look very happy, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, let's keep fighting." Ryoma slapped his hat on the ground, turned around and continued to serve with a raging fighting spirit.

"This guy looks like he's going to be reborn."
