"Whoa!!"

"Hmm!"

"I lost it all today..."

After washing his face, the whole person was immersed in the cold touch and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

Looking at the embarrassed faces reflected on the water, Fuji's mind still couldn't settle down.

In the eyes of the young people, he is a tennis master, and he can beat the seniors like Tezuka at a young age.

But Fuji himself knows very well...

The gap between him and Tezuka is too big now.

So big that he was very unwilling...

Although he was hesitating whether he was too lazy at the beginning, what really made him care was... Tezuka's unstoppable growth is something that makes Fuji feel incredible.

Every time he fights Tezuka, he can feel the difference of the other party more or less.

Until now... The tempering and Tezuka realm is still a difficult hurdle that he will definitely not be able to overcome at present.

(The realm of selflessness...) ）

Clenched his fists, deeply felt the feeling of powerlessness, and had the idea of "unwillingness" after a long time of time.

It may be that in anticipation of the situation that will arise in the future, the current Fuji mentality has changed a lot, and it is not as "fishing" and "Buddha nature" as in the original work.

Tezuka has a clear goal and is "gone" on the road to becoming stronger, and if he chooses to "stand still", he can only stare at his back from a distance.

This feeling is very uncomfortable for Fuji.

But even with some training, he still failed miserably in the game with Tezuka.

When did the tennis skills that he was so proud of become so fragile.

Want to get better...

From the time he touched tennis to the present, Fuji Shusuke, a man who first came up with the idea of wanting to "become stronger".

He knew that the opponent who was waiting for Seixue was a player of the same level as Tezuka, or maybe even better.

If you are still like this, you will not be able to play a decent game even if you face a player of that level.

"Huh..."

The water source was turned off, and the damp hair was touched, and Fuji noticed a figure next to him at some point.

"Agan..."

He took the towel handed over by the other party, wiped his hair and cheeks, and shouted.

"I heard the coach talking with Minister Yamato in the ministry for a long time."

"There's a plan for your next match."

"Guess where you're going to be."

Qian pushed his glasses, not caring about Fuji's previous expression, but changed the topic and said.

"Probably doubles one or singles two."

Without any hesitation, Fuji gave the answer, and his brilliant brain could easily know the current situation of Qingxue.

"It seems that you are also well aware of the predicament faced by Qingxue."

"However, it has nothing to do with the location, the important thing is that Fuji..."

"Do you want to... Win? ”

Qian flipped through the notebook, as if he was looking at something, and then asked with a serious expression.

(Want to win?) ）

On the surface, it is indifferent, but inside it is full of firm conviction.

In the face of those weaker players, he really doesn't have much competitiveness, highlighting a Buddha nature to play.

There are few rivals that make him want to compete.

That's why when he first met Tezuka in the tennis club, he was so happy.

But after watching the match between Shiratsu and Tezuka, he realized that he didn't seem to be able to reach that height at the moment.

In the later training match with Tezuka, he was even more defeated by the tempering and Tezuka realm.

It seems that he loses happily every time, but there is always a trace of bitterness in his heart.

This insignificant bitterness was accompanied by an increase in training matches with Tezuka, which gradually made him have to care.

He wants to win!

Want to win!

Instead of being in this situation where you lose and you lose.

Therefore, in his recent daily exercise, he is also subconsciously changing his usual behavior.

There is always a snack in training, and I also observe the movements of others.

It is as if there is a phenomenon of cohesion in the spirit that has never been concentrated before.

"It feels like you're asking in vain, you've been practicing those things every day, it's impossible not to be competitive."

Sensing what Fuji was thinking, he handed him his notebook and glanced at it.

"You swing faster and faster every time."

"The grip is also more strong than usual."

"The movement of my feet and the softness of my body are also much more flexible than before."

"Words and expressions can deceive people, but the real data collected will not deceive me."

It records Fuji's various daily trainings, and it also contains detailed data.

"You've been trying to hit a high-speed forehand lately..."

"You came here to tell me this, you're very idle, Agan..."

“...”

With a frown, Kan Sadaji, who was still talking to himself, was immediately embarrassed when he heard the words.

"It's... Yes..."

"Okay, I know what you're trying to say, but if that's what the coach and the minister think, I might consider sprinting."

"You'll help me, won't you?"

"Of course..."

Putting aside the melancholy in his heart before, he looked at Sadaharu in front of him with a smile and said.

……………

"What's wrong! Kikumaru! That won't work? Stand up! ”

Looking at Kikumaru, who was out of breath and couldn't get in and out of breath smoothly, the third-year senior suddenly yelled and scolded angrily.

"I can come back!"

"Good! That's what it looks like! We're here to accompany you to practice, so don't be ignorant! ”

"Go on! Dashi, don't keep me in a daze! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The golden combination of Qingxue is also constantly training with the seniors in doubles and striving for higher progress.

The defeat in the Battle of the Ice Emperor also made Oishi and Kikumaru experience the hard gap in experience and strength.

Doubles, unlike singles, is a completely unfamiliar field.

What is more particular is the cooperation between the partner and himself.

What Oishi and Kikumaru lack now is experience in doubles.

But the situation was urgent, and the seniors of Qingxue, under the persuasion of Yamato, finally agreed to take time out to help him play doubles.

In order to let the two accumulate more.

As for what kind of effect the actual battle with Diguang can play in the future, then they have no bottom.

………………

"Okay! Pick up! Tezuka!! ”

Kawamura grabbed the clapping with both hands and hit the tennis ball fiercely, and the strong force ball landed and bounced in an instant.

Tezuka catches it with one hand without changing his face, and slashes the ball with one move.

"It's a hanging ball!"

"How could it work for me!"

"Is it my delusion? I always feel that the ball bounces up very low after it goes over the net. ”

The seniors who were present at the battle looked at the training of Tezuka and Takashi Kawamura, and suddenly wondered.

"Indeed, there are even clear signs of rebound, and it seems to be getting lower and lower."

"It's a genius to be able to hit a short ball like that..."

The more I watched Tezuka's game, the more I could appreciate his horror.

At least the seniors of Qingxue are no longer prejudiced against him now, but really admire.

With their own talents, and hard work, they also understand the foundation of Tezuka's strength.

There is no shame in losing to such a genius.

They also hope that in the match with Temitsu, Tezuka can give them a place to get back.
