"In other words, we really won this time, right?"
Although he didn't play at all, Vulcan still shouted excitedly.
"That's true."
Even Sanada, who usually speaks very strictly, had a hint of joy in his tone.
Beating that team in the coaching competition was no small feat.
This is probably the first junior high school student group to defeat them.
"It's a good thing to be happy, but it doesn't change the fact that there is one less opponent."
"If we really want to continue, the outcome is unpredictable."
Yukimura was not too optimistic, but reminded.
It seemed like we won 3:2 this time, but it was also because the opponent was missing one person.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say what the next game will be like.
At least they don't know what kind of strength this player named Echizen Ryuya has.
But since he can be selected as Jabberwock, he must be outstanding.
You know, Jabberwock still has very high requirements for selecting people to join the team.
"Ah hum, it's so rare. Do you actually think that you are inferior to the other person? Mr. Son of God."
Atobe turned to look at Yukimura and joked as if to reply to his previous statement.
If Shiratsu, the last No. 1 singles player, is unable to play, then there is no doubt that only Yukimura will be left to fill in.
So after Yukimura said those words, Atobe couldn't wait to "make up for it".
"Haha, blind arrogance will make people unable to see the truth clearly, isn't it?"
There was no sarcasm in the intention department, but Yukimura replied softly.
In the past, he would not have been so cautious and modest, but after seeing the masters from Kanto and Kansai, Yukimura would not feel that no one in the world could beat him.
Not to mention that the members of Jabberwock are actually quite powerful.
"Congratulations."
But before they could say anything more, Nash came over with Xibo's support.
His expression was no longer as careless as it was at first, nor was he as arrogant, but he spoke very calmly.
"Um?"
Bai Jin glanced at him in surprise. In his impression, this guy's personality shouldn't be that good, right?
The bad performance in the theater version gave him some preconceived and stereotyped memories of this group of people.
"Apologise to the kid from the previous game for me."
"I underestimated him."
"But if we meet again in the future, it won't be so easy."
After just saying these few words, Nash left the venue with Xibo and others.
"What is that guy talking about with such an air of pride?"
"Who knows."
"It's just the loser who refuses to admit defeat who speaks!"
Listening to the exchanges in his ears, Bai Jin didn't care but was thinking about other issues.
(Will we meet again?)
(At least it will be the World Championships.)
(This year’s World Championship has no chance for our junior high school students.)
If you think about it carefully, if you really want to meet Nash in the future, it might be in your third year of junior high school.
At that time, junior high school students were allowed to participate in the World Championships to target Germany, the king.
But two years later, he felt...
If he meets Akashi again, Nash may lose faster.
……………
"Hahu."
"Damn it, it's still too late?"
After finally running to the outside of the arena, but seeing the flow of people coming out one after another, Echizen Ryuya shouted unwillingly.
If the Shinkansen hadn't broken down, he would have arrived long ago.
What a hell.
This is a rare emergency situation.
"Long Ya, you are indeed here."
But the next moment, he heard a familiar voice, which instantly made Long Ya's pupils shrink.
He looked up suddenly and found Nanjiro standing in front of him.
"Dad."
He never expected to meet Nanjiro here, and Ryuya was stunned for a moment.
"Although I heard that you have joined the Jabberwock a long time ago, are you able to control yourself freely in this kind of event?"
Nanjiro looked at him, without his usual playful smile, but asked seriously.
Long Ya's "swallowing" is an extremely terrifying ability.
A long time ago, Nanjiro discovered his specialness and specifically warned him not to play seriously with Ryoma.
That powerful ability that was completely uncontrollable made Long Ya an unstable factor.
Any player who fights against Long Ya will have their moves or special abilities "swallowed up".
Even teammates are no exception.
Team destroyer.
There is nothing wrong with saying that.
After all, he simply cannot control such an ability autonomously and would unintentionally take away other people's tennis balls. In this case, he would not be able to play practice matches with his teammates.
"What? It turns out you called me back, little one."
After scratching his head and not answering Nanjiro's question directly, Longya spoke.
"It seems you still haven't."
"I'm not that weak, Dad."
Before Nanjiro could say anything, Longya interrupted him first.
"Although it cannot be completely controlled, as long as the triggering conditions are not met, nothing will happen."
"I have made a lot of efforts to play ball normally with my little one."
Stretching out a finger, Long Ya turned the orange she took out from nowhere and explained.
"A triggering condition?"
After staring at Long Ya for a while to confirm that he was not lying, Nanjiro also noticed the restrictions he placed on himself.
Devouring is a very dangerous ability, but that doesn't mean it's omnipotent.
There are still corresponding trigger conditions.
And as long as that condition is not met, Devouring will still not be activated.
The reason Ryuya Echizen joined Jabberwock was because he could train around the world.
Maybe somewhere he can find a way to control Devouring
But, after all this time, I am still a little disappointed, because there is no such method.
Only by finding the triggering conditions correctly can he avoid the use of Devour, but even so, it won't allow him to enjoy playing football wholeheartedly.
Still seems a little painful
(Swallowed and unknown?)
Shirazu's figure suddenly flashed in his mind, and Nanjiro always had a premonition that the two would meet in a certain competition.
The many moves mastered by that young man may be the best "food" for Long Ya's "swallowing".
But as for whether Long Ya will be "stretched to death", Nanjiro has no way of knowing, after all, the upper limits of both of them cannot be seen through.
But now the two miss each other here, perhaps for a better confrontation in the future.
Although it is a bit bad to think this way, Nanjiro is somewhat looking forward to it.
"So, daddy, where's the little one?"
"You still have time to laugh here, because of you, your teammates lost the game!"
"The competition is not so important! If I had known that the Shinkansen would malfunction, I would not have contacted the captain to ask for a place in the competition."
"So you're still far away!"
"Damn it, daddy, tell me where the little one is!!"
"Go find it yourself!"
PS:
It’s five chapters, and I’m so sleepy that I keep working on it when I get home.
It's finally over. sleep.
