"I don't think I saw the man who claimed to be the coach of the German team coming to see you this morning."
Not long after meeting Momoi in front of the station, she asked a question.
"Ray Cantru?"
"I haven't met him so far."
"Maybe I've given up."
He and Momoi walked to the street in casual clothes, but Bai Jin was not interested in what the man said.
Profession?
Training resources and connections?
These things are not necessary for a player of his level.
Just look at Nanjiro, who ran to the United States alone, and you will know that there are differences between players.
Being able means being able to do whatever you want.
And as for whether to pursue a professional career in the future, it is still a mystery to Bai Jin.
He plays tennis purely for "excitement". Maybe he can be happy by playing in the Junior High School and World Championships and getting together with those princes and miracles.
Or it's the exploration of the endless realm
To be honest, the attraction of career is not very big for him.
Therefore, from the beginning, Ray Cantrew's persuasion made no sense at all.
"Hey, it's strange that Xiaobai is so good at tennis but doesn't care about his career at all."
With her hands behind her back, her body leaned forward slightly, leaning on his arms with her shoulders, she squinted, trying to see something.
"It's not like you don't know, I've always been interested."
"Only do things that make you happy."
"Rather than playing professionally, I would rather play with players like Akashi and Tezuka."
He pried open the popsicles stuck together in his hands, and then handed one over. Bai Jin responded by eating the other one.
"Suck."
Reaching out to take the popsicle handed to her by Shirazu, Momoi didn't ask any further questions.
Although she felt that it would be a waste not to pursue a career with Bai Jin's ability and qualifications, but since she had an idea, she would only choose to believe him.
In Momoi's opinion, everyone in the junior high school is actually quite good.
If we take last year's Nash, Thibo, and Noah brothers as a benchmark, a lot of people can beat them this year.
In an environment surrounded by powerful enemies like this, it's not a bad thing to stay a little longer.
(Well, he is the strongest one though)
(But progress can also be made.)
The battle with Tokugawa can fully demonstrate Shirazu's extraordinary changes.
Three years in junior high school will definitely not be a waste.
"Go to the amusement park next or continue shopping?"
"Well, I want to go see a movie, but there doesn't seem to be anything good to watch recently."
"Then let's go to the amusement park! Didn't it just open?"
"Tsk, I always feel like I'll meet some strange guys."
After asking a question, and finally receiving Momoi's answer, Bai Jin raised his eyebrows and realized that the matter was not simple.
If he remembered correctly, every time he tried to play other things in the world of Net King, he would definitely encounter "princes".
"Did you say something?"
"No, I just thought things were getting interesting."
The two leaned against each other and then walked towards the newly built amusement park not far away.
"If I remember correctly, this was built with the joint efforts of Atobe-kun and Akashi-kun, right?"
"Although the interior is the same as a normal amusement park, it is full of new types of machines."
As soon as she entered, Momoi's eyes lit up and she discovered a new world.
In addition to the iconic tennis object standing at the top of the center and regular play facilities, it also includes a variety of sports trials.
For example, there are tennis machines, basketball machines, etc., and even electric arcades.
“There’s also a place for skating, great!”
"Can you skate?"
"know a little."
Seeing Momoi's excited look, Bai Jin was willing to play with her.
But when they got there, Bai Jin realized that he and Momoi seemed to think a little too simply.
"Hey, hey, is this a little bit?"
"Is it too big? How can this be called an ice rink? Should it be called a ski resort?"
Even though he knew that Atobe and Akashi were both rich and wealthy, the scene in front of them was still disappointing.
The wide area was filled with ice and snow and was about the size of three or four football fields.
He and Momoi could even see someone building a snowman in the open snow.
"I understand, it's called an ice rink, but it's actually a ski resort? There's also a sled."
Calling it an ice rink is a bit stingy.
"Isn't it simple?"
"Look at me"
"Yo ho!"
Bai Jin's eyelids twitched as he vaguely heard a familiar sound.
"Did you hear Kise-kun's voice just now?"
Momoi directly stated that question.
"It's not an illusion."
"It's really him."
There was no possibility of a second person with that cheerful tone and voice.
Looking towards the source, he saw Kise "gliding" violently on the sled.
He was swaying left and right, trying to make some difficult gesture.
But not long after, he almost overturned because he got carried away and failed to maintain a good balance.
"so close!"
"Little Murasakibara, come and try it."
"don't want."
Just as he paused, Kise shouted to a certain area outside.
But what replaced it was the other party's firm words of rejection.
"Whoosh!"
"Um?"
Suddenly aware of "murderous intent", the familiar sound of breaking through the air made Kise tilt his head sharply. He immediately dodged the flying snowballs, and then looked at his attacker.
"Hey, Baijin-chan, why are you here too?"
"That line is what I should ask you, right?"
"It's really strange that you would come here with Zijun."
When they first met, Kise looked surprised and asked loudly, but Shirazu and Momoi questioned him in return.
"It's not like there's nothing fun besides daily training these days."
"I just happened to see that the amusement park run by Ko Atobe and Ko Akashi opened, so I wanted to come and play."
"I met Xiao Murasakibara on the way, so I dragged him along."
Kise slid to the intersection in an instant, looking at the two of them and answering with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, I saw little Tezuka just now."
"Um?"
"Would Tezuka-kun also come to a place like this?"
At first, they thought it was just a trivial matter, but what Kise said next made both Shirazu and Momoi stunned.
In their impression, although Tezuka is not that rigid, he is not someone who would come to a place like this alone to play, right?
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
"Or are you talking about Qingxue team building here?"
In my memory, people in Qingxue actually liked team building, and they had a lot of fun at bowling and billiards parties.
It doesn't seem strange that a group of people would come here.
"It's him. I saw him when I was sliding down from above."
"But I only saw him come in alone."
"Looks like he's still holding a tennis bag."
After gesturing, Kise spoke firmly.
"Huh? You don't want to come here to play tennis, do you?"
Momoi hesitated for a while, not quite understanding this approach.
Although there is a tennis court here, there seems to be no reason to come here specifically.
And according to her understanding, Tezuka would prefer to check in at the "Holy Land".
"It doesn't matter, maybe Qingxue has some special activities."
He had no intention of finding out what was going on, so Bai Jin wouldn't act like a stalker.
"Too."
"How about it, Baijin-chan, do you want to have a test?!"
"Oh, you are quite brave."
"Of course! I can't play tennis, but I've learned how to ski."
"My wings are strong, so let me show you what it means that all roads lead to Rome."
"ha?"
The meaningless remarks immediately confused Kise.
Seeing Bai Jin's confident look, he was a little unsure.
In my memory, I have never heard of Shirazu skiing.
"May, wait for me for a few minutes."
"Come on"
In the skating area on the other side, Momoi looked at the two people in the snow rink with interest and shouted.
"Kise, the only time to admit defeat is now."
"Hey, I won't be scared by you!"
The more he was frightened, the more courageous Kise became.
"What a guy who doesn't learn his lesson."
Lying on the half-meter-high wall, Murasakihara stared at the picture and said boredly.
"Zi Jun, you are here, why don't you come down and play together?"
"I just finished eating and I don't really want to play sports like skiing."
"That will make your stomach very uncomfortable."
"Oh, I didn't expect you to pay attention to such a thing."
"If something happens to him, that red boy will do something very extreme."
Watching the competition between Kise and Shirazu, Momoi and Murasakihara were also talking in the distance.
"Pfft."
Momoi laughed when she heard Murasakibara's feeble voice.
She knew she was talking about "Ura Akashi", after all, she only had requirements for Murasakibara.
Once he fails to comply, the control of the "Eye of the Emperor of Heaven" will be directly overturned.
The most cruel control given to Murasakibara was probably the order "No snacks allowed", right?
Thinking of that scene, Murasakihara was horrified.
Although he could resist part of it with perfect clothes, resisting would only lead to more "painful" treatment, so that he was particularly "afraid" of Riakaashi.
"Ah! Xiao Baijin, you are so shameless!!"
At this moment, Kise's excited voice came from not far away.
I saw him blushing, throwing himself into a dog-eating position, and yelling angrily.
"what are you saying?"
“There’s no rule against using tennis moves in skiing, right?”
"You were ejected yourself, so you can't blame me."
Kise was extremely angry when he saw Shiratsu looking as steady as a rock on the snow.
"I'm just telling you why you are so confident!"
"It turns out that vector operations are used!!"
"No wonder it slides so steadily!"
Slowly getting up from the ground, Kise realized that the pair of ski poles Shirazu was holding were actually a cover.
He didn't take the initiative to skate from the beginning.
"Too careless!"
"Obviously I can win."
Kise said frantically, thinking of that golden opportunity in annoyance.
"You're not even close yet."
I have to say that Ryoma's mantra is quite accurate on certain occasions.
Bai Jin sometimes likes to use this sentence to "choke" others.
"Damn it!! Come again!"
"That won't work. I'm not here to accompany you. May is still waiting for me over there."
"Ugh!! That's too much! Run away if you win!!"
When Kise screamed angrily, Shirazu left his side immediately.
Just kidding, he didn't come out specifically to play tricks with Kise.
When I finally have time, if I don't spend time with Momoi, it won't be like being a student.
What's more, he is indeed not an expert at skiing, and he is not very interested in it.
"Sorry for the waitting."
"It's okay, but if you bully Kise-kun like this, he will be a bit pitiful. Be careful of being vengeful."
"It doesn't matter, he only has a few seconds more memories that have nothing to do with tennis than the fish."
"Pfft, it's true."
"Huang Zai is really like that"
…………
In front of a huge gymnasium in the amusement park, Tezuka swiped the card at the door, and then walked in through the opened door.
This is a specially built tennis stadium with a large area, but there are only two courts.
It was specially prepared by Atobe and Akashi for junior high school players like them.
After all, everyone knows how scary it is when they play seriously.
"To rent here, you have to make a reservation."
"It took a lot of effort."
As soon as Ray Cantruo finished communicating with Polk, he saw Tezuka entering the door.
"come yet?"
The agreement was made in the morning, and now it was almost time. Polk looked at Tezuka in casual clothes with the racket in his hand and said.
"Let me experience the power of profession."
It was a temperament that was unique to him, an elegant gesture that was cold yet graceful.
"I'll let you see it."
Walking into the field, Polk said seriously, while Ray Cantruw sat on the chair as the referee, and at the same time started the newly purchased video recorder and placed it in the best observation position.
The video recorder at the national competition was damaged inexplicably, which really made him feel distressed for a while.
There are many important games recorded there.
As a result, the body was destroyed and all traces were wiped out in one day.
Chasing the cause, Ray Cantru believed that it might have been caused by the golden phoenix.
Just like the blue giant, a super different dimension that can cause changes in the world.
(Could it be that it was once rumored that Jabberwock Nash was defeated and the same situation happened?)
Only then did he realize why the Jabberwock team came to Neon for a game, but no video or replay video was released after the game.
In the face of such different-dimensional power, electronic devices are really "fragile".
"Well, I hope it works this time."
…………
"What's wrong?"
Oyo Akashi, who was still at home, suddenly received a call. He looked at the name of the caller and asked after the call was connected.
"Something interesting is happening in the park we built together."
"A foreigner named Ray Cantru applied for a special gymnasium."
"Guess who I found?"
Atobe's words were conveyed from there. He held a form in his hand and grinned slightly.
"The user is Jurgen Barisavage Polk, the professional player who dominated last year."
"and"
"Tezuka."
Like a shark that smelled blood, Atobe was very excited.
"oh?"
Hearing this, even Akashi no longer felt sleepy.
"I inquired a little about their recent actions."
"They are probably planning to poach people from us to go to Germany."
"The professional league has a pretty good reputation."
Throwing away the form in his hand, Atobe walked towards the helicopter, and then continued.
"Then I'd really like to see it."
"What is the power of profession?"
Even if Atobe didn't say anything, Akashi knew that someone had been in frequent contact with Shirazu recently.
However, he was too lazy to deal with that kind of thing because he knew that the other party would not succeed.
But now the other party is approaching Tezuka again, and it seems that he is "unyielding".
Today’s unknown game
It would be a shame not to go and see it.
After getting on the helicopter and saying the last words, Atobe hung up the phone.
“I’ll be at your doorstep in a few minutes.”
