"Dudududu!!"
Noisy whistles came from the street. Amidst the flow of people, Kaibin looked at the direction and then walked towards an alley.
"Well!"
"ah!"
"Snapped!"
Before they even reached the end, they could already faintly hear an unpleasant scream coming from inside.
But Kaibin didn't pay attention to this, but smiled. He was already very familiar with this situation.
"It's really a big fight."
"It's only what time in the morning and you're already out hunting."
"Ryoma."
Through the alleyway, he came to a remote street tennis court. Looking at the delinquents lying on the ground, Kaibin sneered at the only acquaintance standing in the middle of the court.
Ryoma was standing in the court holding a racket, his eyes covered by the brim of his hat.
But even so, you can still feel the aura that does not suit your identity and is different from ordinary people.
"Just a little warm-up."
"I didn't expect them to be so careless."
Raising his head and looking at Kaibin who came out, Ryoma said calmly.
“Aren’t we cleaning up all the surrounding street tennis courts in the past few days?”
"Compared to real tennis, it's not even a sport."
"By the way, how many are there already? There don't seem to be any new faces."
Not paying attention to his attitude, Kaibin walked over and recounted the results of their battle.
"Damn it, he turns out to be Echizen Ryoma!!"
"The one with the yellow hair is Kempin Smith."
"Run!! These two demons!!"
After returning from Neon that day, he and Ryoma couldn't wait to play in various gyms in the United States.
Due to his status as a primary school student, although it is impossible to break into other people's clubs, there are not so many restrictions on the surrounding street tennis courts.
So much so that the two people, who were obviously still young, just relied on their strong strength to make a name for themselves, making this place their base.
"."
"boom!"
"What on earth did you do? It only took a month to become so powerful."
After a daily confrontation with Ryoma, Kaibin found that Ryoma had become a lot stronger inexplicably.
If he could get a few games out of this guy before, but now that the opponent is getting serious, he can't beat him at all.
It’s only been a month since I came back from Neon. How could there be such a big change?
He couldn't believe it, and he was also very unconvinced.
Why is it that everyone has come back from Neon, but you have become so much stronger?
He believed that he was no worse than Ryoma, but now that the gap was before his eyes, it was really unbearable.
"After watching the game, I just have some thoughts."
After throwing a bottle of drink to Kaibin, Ryoma didn't say much.
It's impossible for him to reveal his own experience.
After all, it sounds too mysterious to get some of the tennis experience and memories of my future self.
"By the way, you should pay more attention to the flexibility of your wrists."
"Also, every time you swing the racket with force, your shoulders are too wide and there are too many unnecessary movements."
"In this case, you are no match for me."
Specifically pointing out the other party's current flaws, Ryoma picked up his drink and took a sip.
"Long-winded!"
Hearing Ryoma's naked words, Kaibin shouted angrily.
It's okay to have his shortcomings pointed out. He doesn't care about such things, but that "arrogant" attitude is what makes Kaibin unhappy the most.
"Don't get carried away. You've just become a little stronger. I can catch up soon."
"I won't let you just widen the gap!"
"You're not even close yet!"
As if the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission had appeared, Kaibin was so angry that he even responded with a Ryoma mantra.
"Oh, is it so?"
In the past, Ryoma would have continued to be angry with him, but now, he didn't have that intention.
After all, the biggest reason why he became so powerful in just one month is that he knew how to improve himself.
How to play in the game, the use of moves and some of the details, training methods, shortcomings that you should overcome, etc.
Although his memory is not perfect yet, he clearly remembers the parts of himself that should be changed.
The current Ryoma has a terrifyingly solid foundation, and even has a very high starting point.
He can avoid unnecessary exercises and wrong playing styles and stay on the right path.
But even so, he was not too proud. After all, if he planned to go to Neon to attend junior high school next year, he would have to come into contact with those monster seniors.
Even if you have learned the state of selflessness in advance, it is not enough.
With the current strength, I will definitely have to pick up the ball for a year.
(Absolutely not.)
Thinking of that situation, Ryoma's expression became a little stiff. He resisted that kind of phenomenon.
After all, I went to pursue stronger opponents, not to be a bystander like Momojo-senpai.
In his memory, he also spent too much effort in the future, and finally managed to catch up to the rear in the national competition.
But it was almost the end of the year at that time, so it was just like catching up.
Apart from sparring more in private with the seniors from each school, he was almost carried up.
The result of his unstable foundation was that he couldn't beat any of the third-year seniors.
It's a little irritating when I think about it.
In order to avoid that embarrassing situation from happening again, Ryoma was prepared to train hard.
Hone your skills, exercise, and maintain a healthy diet.
As for training opponents, the current Kaibin is enough, and there is no need to find any strong players to train with.
He has an idea of his future arrangements, so he won't be blinded or waste time.
"By the way, do you want to go to my dad's club to play in a month?"
"I heard that many amateur players will come."
"Don't worry, he won't show up at that time, and he won't have any overreaction to you."
After playing a few more games with Kaibin, when he was about to leave, the other party sent out an invitation.
As if he was afraid that Ryoma would reject it outright, Kaibin made a point of mentioning it.
After all, their fathers have some "old grudges".
Nanjiro may not be able to remember who Kaibin's father is, but Kaibin's father remembers him. At least he "never forgets" him after being dejected for the rest of his life.
But now it seems that being defeated by Echizen Nanjiro may be an "honor".
After all, he was once the strongest tennis player in the world.
"Well, go ahead if you have time."
After pondering for a while, Ryoma did not refuse in person. After all, it was impossible to practice death kung fu all the time, and the atmosphere had to be changed occasionally.
As for Kaibin’s father’s situation? Ryoma said he didn't care at all.
Even if there is an accident, I will be confident to handle it with my son.
Who said Dad Kaibin can't do "magic"?
Times have changed! grown ups!
