"Huh...ha...huh..."
When Tezuka returned from running the lap with the last of his energy, he could no longer maintain his usual composure.
"What were you thinking about at the end?"
"Is that state available to you at any time?"
"Kid, don't rely too much on something you can't always use."
Seeing Tezuka return, Nanjiro stood up from his seat, crossed his arms, stared at him and taught.
(The more you want to enter, the easier it is to not get in...)
(Finding the opportunity and conditions for you to start is the key.)
Listening to Nanjiro's education and recalling Akashi's words in his mind, Tezuka also knew where he was wrong.
In Yu Fuji's game, at the end of the third game, he did think about opening the zone to end it.
At that critical moment, if Zone is turned on, Fuji will have absolutely no power left to resist.
This led to a situation where Tezuka tried too hard to open the Zone, but ended up being unable to do so.
So much so that he was overturned by Fuji in the end...
It was a rare gaffe for him...
"Okay, starting from tomorrow, while maintaining training, you have to play three games with the same person every day."
"It's up to you to report the score to the little devil yourself, and then let me see it."
"That's it for today! Disband!"
After criticizing Tezuka, Nanjiro turned to the staff who were still here and said loudly.
"yes!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
"goodbye!"
After hearing this, everyone began to clean up the place and gradually left.
"Think carefully, what do you lack now?"
"Is it the gorgeous moves? Or is it the scoring technique? Or is it the state of selflessness and the state of being ineffective at times?"
"If you think you're lacking those things, I don't think there's much to learn."
Before the first-year students left, Nanjiro held up his magazine and reminded them.
Before anyone could reply, he yawned and left the venue.
"what does this mean?"
Kikumaru held the back of his head with his hands, not understanding what Nanjiro meant by what he just said.
"He should have said it specifically to Tezuka..."
Inui Sadaharu picked up his coat, tilted his head and said.
"Tezuka..."
Fuji looked at Tezuka who had calmed down and was a little worried.
It was obvious that Nanjiro's tone just now sounded boring and disappointing.
"...."
Tezuka did not answer, but quietly thought about the previous encounter.
From the first time he met Shirazu... until he fought against Akashi in the big competition.
What he lacks...
…………
"Atobe, how long will you continue to fight?"
In Hyotei's school, Atobe stood on the tennis court, looking very embarrassed as if he had encountered some kind of disaster.
"not enough..."
Even though he was too tired to speak, Atobe knew that he still didn't have the ability to confront Tezuka and Akashi.
You have to practice harder...
To reach their level...
Just relying on normal training won't work...
Overtaking in corners is not that easy to do.
During the recent period, Atobe has been fully exerting his physical strength. After training, he was even able to defeat all the current members of Hyotei's main roster.
Because of this, he returned to the main selection position.
The system of Ice Emperor is that simple, winners go up and losers go down.
If it were the former Atobe, he might have been satisfied with this and be complacent.
But after seeing the duel between Tezuka and Akashi, he felt that he was not worth mentioning at all.
It really hurts his self-esteem to think that he, Atobe Keigo, can't even be named among students of the same age.
"What I saw... was very clear!"
With his opponent's blind spot in his eyes, Atobe was about to swing, but lost consciousness and fell to the ground exhausted.
"Atobe!!"
………
"Tsk, Haizaki, you want to fight, right?"
"Hey, don't say that, Akutsu, didn't I just steal two of your moves?"
The tennis court of Yamabuki Middle School, which had been closed for a long time, was opened. A gray-haired boy and another black-haired boy were playing with tennis balls.
"So, are there really any powerful guys in the sport of tennis?"
Akutsu hit the ball back and watched Haizaki's actions with a somewhat impatient tone.
His current hairstyle is not as unique as it was later, but his eyes are more sinister.
"You even fought me very hard, are you qualified to challenge three to four?"
"You are really good at talking, you are so mean."
The two of them were not so much playing tennis as engaging in a verbal barrage.
Akutsu felt unhappy at first being dragged to play tennis by Haizaki.
But after truly feeling Haizaki's strange ability, he became somewhat interested.
But even so, he didn't think there would be any masters in the sport of tennis.
Isn't it just chasing the ball with a racket?
Is there any powerful skill in this kind of sport where you can win by relying solely on physical fitness?
"Hey, isn't that our club's baby?"
"I'm practicing again today."
Suddenly hearing the sound of a ball coming from the distance, Haizaki stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the other court.
I saw Kiyoshi Sengoku hitting the wall with a tennis ball alone in the venue.
"cut..."
Putting the tennis racket on his shoulder, Akutsu stared at Sengoku, losing interest.
That guy seems to be more durable, but with his personality, Akutsu can't get along with him.
Although Haizaki is not a good guy, he does have a lot of fun.
At the same time, the operator of the Kanto Competition welcomed a very important guest at this moment.
"Welcome, Coach Sakaki..."
"I have heard about the matter, so there are plans to change the competition system. Is there any modification?"
The operator's staff received Hyotei's coach Sakaki with a tone full of expectation.
"Substantial changes, as if submitted in writing."
"From my previous observations, many strong schools in the Dujia competition only played three games because they were too strong, and the appearance rate of players was too unstable."
"It was not conducive to observing them, so the changes were proposed."
"For the youth selection competition after the Kanto Tournament, there is no room for failure."
Coach Sakaki's expression didn't change at all, but he spoke in a calm tone.
"I understand... I will instruct my people to draw up new rules and announce them when the time comes."
………………
"So, why do we come to this deep mountain and old forest?"
"It's not a school trip..."
Compared with the training in other schools, Diguang is much more unique.
Through the bus rented by Akaashi, several people from the tennis club came directly to the villa in the mountains.
"Because normal training can no longer meet our needs."
Momoi stood in the car, looked back at Murasakibara who was complaining, and explained with a smile.
"The Kanto Tournament is less than a month away, so it's time to carry out some special training."
Taking the information he recorded, Momoi checked everyone's situation and then said.
During this period, everyone at Diguang's goal was very simple, to conduct physical training and competitions in school every day.
New adjustments were made only after confirming that the training was up to standard.
"There shouldn't be any ghosts in a place like this, right?"
Qingfeng felt the quiet atmosphere in the forest and couldn't help but worry.
"Are you a remnant of that era?!"
After hearing Aomine's strange words, Kagami couldn't help but complain.
"After all, Qingfeng-kun is unexpectedly afraid of supernatural events..."
"Heizi! You!"
Kise didn't pay attention to the bickering of these people at all, but was in high spirits.
"So we have to train here for the next period of time?"
"Yes!"
