"Morning."
"morning!"
"That guy Echizen comes so early every day."
"He seems to be working very hard."
"Many times when club activities are over, he is still practicing."
"Well, this is the correct mentality as a regular player."
Horio greeted Katsuro and others, and at the same time saw Ryoma who was exercising alone.
Two weeks have passed since the team trials ended.
During this period, they also saw Ryoma's strange persistence.
There is a clear goal every time, and there is no laziness at all.
"very nice."
Ordinary players like Katsuro and others can only envy him.
Even many second-year seniors could only recognize Ryoma's strength when they saw him.
"In almost a week, the regional competition starts."
Standing in the club room changing clothes, Fuji picked up the racket and said expectantly.
"However, this year will probably be the same as last year."
Kawamura Takashi nodded and then said.
Thinking back to the beginning, from the regional competition to the Kanto competition, strong schools would choose to let newcomers compete.
If nothing else, it may be the same this year, and in some cases it may even be a little more extreme than what was done then.
Because who are the second-year and first-year juniors that they should focus on?
After all, as long as there are no obvious mistakes or crashes in the regional competition, the metropolitan competition, and the Kanto competition, the usual five strong schools will have a chance to advance, so their third-year competition can be placed in the national competition.
Therefore, except for the national competition, the remaining competitions can basically be regarded as training.
The second-year juniors also need more competition experience, while the first-year juniors need more experience.
It just so happens that every school has more or less newcomers worthy of attention.
"By the way, the kid named Kintaro hasn't been here for a long time."
"Ah, yes, I just said that I feel like something is missing recently."
Fuji's words aroused Kikumaru's reaction. He struggled for a while and seemed a little uncomfortable.
They were all very impressed by this player. Although he was not old, his strength was amazing.
I once went to Qing Xue many times to have a fight with their third grade students.
Even though he was defeated many times, Kintaro was not depressed or discouraged, but his morale was getting higher and higher.
And I heard that he also went to other schools happily to highlight his "not afraid of students".
"His words are based on the information I have collected."
"Now I seem to be studying at Rikkai University."
But then, what Inui Sadaharu said surprised them.
"What? Is Kintaro in Tatekai University?"
It was hard to imagine that this lively boy would be in Tatekai, and Oishi was surprised.
"The specific reason is unclear."
Shaking his head, Inui Sadaharu had only seen him wearing Rikkai's team uniform when he went to collect information. For more detailed information, even if he asked Yanagi Renji, the latter would not reveal anything.
"Wow, it looks like this year's Rikkai will be very fierce."
Kikumaru twirled his fingers, as if counting something, and spoke.
"They have a lot of fighting spirit this year."
"Yukimura's return plus the regrets left over from last year."
"The current Rikkai Dai will surely have the strongest combat power in history, right?"
Tezuka picked up the racket that was leaning next to him and joined the discussion.
"It seems that we will be able to see what they want to express in the Kanto Competition."
“Not to be neglected”
"Sounds dangerous"
"No matter what, this year is also our last year. When it's time to fight hard, let's fight hard."
Compared to the exchanges between the seniors, the first and second graders are much simpler in mind.
The seniors promised to let them play more games, but only if it was enough to make them feel worth it.
Under this kind of temptation, it is inevitable that they will get excited and constantly want to express themselves.
"I'm back."
"Yo, how's school going, teenagers."
As soon as he returned home, Ryoma heard the voice of Yuya's father.
"Is there any cute girl that interests you?"
“Very annoying”
The teasing tone made Ryoma not want to answer such questions.
"Oh, it seems that all my thoughts are focused on tennis."
"Although concentration is a good thing,... Ryoma"
"Don't run around blindly and get lost."
After staring at Ryoma for a while, Nanjiro then reminded him with a hint.
"?"
Looking up at Nanjiro in confusion, Ryoma didn't understand what he said for a moment.
Staring at his leaving figure, he pondered.
(Seamless.)
(Dimensional power)
If you want to touch Fuji and Tezuka, you must have those two powers.
It's a pity that no matter which kind it is, Ryoma currently doesn't have it.
There is no clear path, which is his biggest difficulty at the moment.
It seems that he defeated Taocheng before, but that can be regarded as the consequence of using up all his cards.
Thousands of hard work + radiant talent + whirlwind smash is already his best combination.
He hasn't had time to practice moves such as the light strike and the Nine-headed Dragon Flash.
Seamless clothing and extra-dimensional power should be the easiest for him to come into contact with.
After all, with future memories and playing experience, I should be able to master it in no time.
But the fact is.
Mirai Ryoma didn't give him the "secret" of seamless clothing and extra-dimensional power.
Yes, it clearly gave most of the memories and experiences, but it was only missing the seamless and different-dimensional parts.
This made Ryoma feel very strange, and he didn't know why.
If he could master those two forces at this time, not to mention he would be able to surpass the third-year seniors, but at least he could keep up with them.
Unfortunately there is no if.
This has also led to Ryoma having been struggling with this matter recently.
He even doubted whether his future self did it on purpose, otherwise he would not have lost the seamless and different-dimensional memories and feelings.
In addition, the words Nanjiro said just now seemed to point him out.
(What do you want to do with your future self?)
For the first time, he had some doubts about "self". Ryoma walked back to his room and lay on the bed thinking.
I gave it, but I didn’t give it completely.
This is very uncomfortable
However, they are still the two most important forces, which cannot be compared with repeated training and brilliance.
It is no exaggeration to say that a player who masters the power of seamless clothing and different dimensions at the same time is at best a world-class player.
"What exactly went wrong?"
"Dudu."
"Hey Hey hey?"
"Dad, how's it going? Does the little one feel very different?"
Long Ya leaned against the wall of a stadium, watching the game below, and then spoke on the phone easily.
"Hahaha, is he really struggling?"
"Well, if possible, I hope he can take a different path from us."
"After all, someone has proven that there is more than one way."
"But that might be difficult."
"Perhaps I will understand the so-called "powerful" secret earlier than he does."
