Amidst the noisy fights of friends and the warm care of family members, time passes quietly and flies by.
After freshening up in the morning, Ye Wu packed up his travel bag and tennis bag and headed out to the school gathering place.
Today, their sixth grade students have their only educational trip in primary school.
"I'm leaving." Ye Wu put on his shoes at the entrance and said goodbye to his parents.
"Be careful on the road."
Seeing the tall and straight figure in front of him, with his gorgeous long brown hair, the tail of which was slightly upturned, Ye Wu couldn't help but shout,
"Zang Lin——"
Hearing the noise, Shiraishi Kuranosuke looked back and confirmed that it was Ye Wu, then he patiently stopped and waited.
When Ye Wu approached, Bai Shi said hello warmly, "Good morning, Wu."
When Ye Wu entered sixth grade, the Gong brothers he played with had already entered Yehu Middle School.
The new friend I have made now, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, is my new classmate in this year’s class.
This deskmate, well, apart from some perverted hobbies, he is still very gentle and considerate.
"How are Zang Lin's preparations? Do you have any plans?"
They talk in parallel.
The destination of this school trip is Tokyo. The trip lasts three days. The first two days are group visits, and students can arrange their own activities on the last day.
Ye Wu was asking about the free arrangements for the third day.
"The botanical garden herbarium here in Tokyo has more varieties. I've always wanted to visit it. How about you, Wu?"
"There's nothing I want to see. I'll go shopping for some souvenirs then."
Seemingly without any plan, Shiraishi naturally changed the topic and talked about the school tennis club.
"Before graduation, let's have another serious fight, Wu."
"Stay with me to the end."
While chatting, the two arrived at the school and then boarded the bus in an orderly manner to start their journey.
After a long and bumpy ride, the students were exhausted.
After arriving at the hotel after a long journey, everyone hurriedly washed up and fell asleep one after another.
------
The sunlight filtered in through the window, and Ye Wu felt a little warm, so he couldn't help but pull up the quilt and cover his head.
"Wu, get up, the teacher asked us to gather."
Ye Wu turned over and ignored the other party.
Helpless, Baishi called a few more times, but Ye Wu still refused to move.
In the last few minutes before the gathering, Ye Wu finally got up and washed up very quickly.
Under the solemn gaze of the leading teacher, the two got into the car at the right time.
Bai Shi raised his voice and his heart was finally released. He smiled and said:
"It really scared me! Fortunately, I caught the car. You are really lucky, Wu."
Ye Wu did not deny it.
He never thought that in this world, he would have a European emperor's physique.
It’s the kind of physique that makes it really easy to win the jackpot.
Putting down the tennis bag, Ye Wu asked casually, "Where is the location of this visit?"
Maybe it's because the brothers who were waiting in the palace before were too worried. After meeting Bai Shi, Ye Wu completely released himself and started showing off.
Thanks to Shiraishi's good temper, he doesn't need to worry about many things.
I didn’t do much strategy during this trip. Anyway, if you have anything to do, just ask Zang Lin.
"Academy City." Shiraishi, a good student, has done enough homework.
Ye Wu didn't ask any more questions.
The car drove for almost an hour and stopped slowly at a gate inspection entrance.
Looking at the fortified town surrounded by copper and iron walls, Ye Wu suddenly felt alert.
"Academy City has been isolated from the outside world until the Daihasei Festival (Sports Festival). It is open to the public during the training days of many schools. We try to choose this day to visit."
Perhaps sensing his nervousness and confusion, Shiraishi continued to explain,
"I heard that many talented people are sent to schools in Academy City to study in isolation since childhood to develop their superpowers. The Daihasei Festival is a sports meeting held by all schools in this city..."
Okay, please wait a moment. Ye Wu raised his hand and hurriedly interrupted the other party's words.
superpower?
Is there such a thing in the Net King World?
Judging that the other party's expression was not disguised, Ye Wu held his breath and asked cautiously,
"Is this information I can know?"
"Uh, why not."
"Everyone knows?" Based on the usual routine of Japanese comics, the general public should be unaware.
Bai Shi stared at Ye Wu questioningly, with a look on his face that he hesitated to speak.
"I was taught this in kindergarten."
Seeing that Ye Wu still had a shocked expression, Bai Shi lowered his voice involuntarily.
What does it mean? Should brainwashing be started from an early age?
Ye Wu's memory of the original owner's kindergarten has long been blurred.
Are you falling through the cracks of compulsory education?
Shiraishi continued to add,
"For the sake of the excitement of this sports meeting, players can control the use of weak superpowers."
clear. Ye Wu is numb, watching a superpower sports competition, right?
------
Because cars were not allowed to enter, Ye Wu and the others took the driverless bus arranged by the academy instead.
When Ye Wu and others got off the bus, the student representatives happened to be taking the oath before the game.
"We players, uphold the spirit of sportsmanship, participate in this year's Daihasei Festival..."
The opening ceremony came to an end.
After the instructor repeatedly emphasized to ensure smooth communication, the students quickly dispersed.
Ye Wu and Bai Shi studied the list of recreational activities and agreed to watch the wind parade performance first.
"The 09:30 personal event borrowing competition is about to begin..."
Ye Wu raised his head to look for the source of the sound, and found that there were several spaceships suspended by hot-air balloons in the sky, and even an unmanned reconnaissance helicopter.
Thinking of the various high technologies he saw along the way, Ye Wu finally believed that the instructor was not bragging:
[Academy City] has the most cutting-edge technology in the world, 20 to 30 years more advanced than the outside world, and is the leader in the scientific world.
What are you doing?
My side of the internet king world still has a flip phone, but your side has all the high technology!
Ye Wu's young face showed an undue look of vicissitudes of life. He spoke in an envious tone,
"Shall we go to the communications store to buy a mobile phone later?"
Shiraishi was moved. It was obvious that he had been greatly impacted along the way, "If you bring enough money."
My interest in watching the parade performances has faded.
The two began to study the map enthusiastically, trying to find out the location of the mobile phone store.
------
On the other side, as the first-year ace of Tokiwadai Middle School, Misaka Mikoto is slightly distressed.
The topic she drew was: Tourist’s Tennis Racket.
There is no tennis competition at the Daihasei Festival, so what tourist would bring a tennis racket to play?
Misaka Mikoto could only look around aimlessly.
As a result, good luck came,
Just let her see someone carrying a tennis racket.
The two young boys lowered their heads to study the map, and the tennis bags on their backs were particularly eye-catching.
Excellent luck today!
Misaka Mikoto appeared in front of the two of them like lightning, "Excuse me."
Hearing the sound, the two subconsciously raised their heads.
The girl in front of her was wearing a white sportswear, with hairpins in her shoulder-length brown hair. She looked like she had a cheerful personality.
If you look closely, it looks familiar.
Shiraishi hurriedly whispered to Ye Wu, "She is the sworn contestant just now, No. 3 of the seven superpowers in the academy, Misaka Mikoto."
After learning the identity of the other party, Ye Wu couldn't help but suddenly realized,
"Senior, what's the matter?"
"I'm sorry, I borrowed an object for the walking competition, and the question I drew was a tennis racket. Can you lend it to me?"
Misaka Mikoto smiled generously and asked directly.
No need to wonder why the two were carrying tennis bags. How can I do it without a tennis racket? After all, the world is very dangerous, so by default you should play tennis without making a decision.
——The survival rules from the Net King.
"Okay." The two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"With the person and the racket." She touched her nose and explained sheepishly, "Because the rule is..."
Ye Wu and Bai Shi looked at each other,
"Then I'll go with you." Bai Shi stood up.
As soon as she finished speaking, Misaka Mikoto hurriedly grabbed Shiraishi and jumped into the air, running quickly towards the finish line.
He left a message for Ye Wu, "Thank you. Don't move where you are. I will send your partner back in a while."
Ye Wu: ...feeling super powers at close range, my brain is shutting down...
Misaka Mikoto didn't lie.
Five minutes later, Shiraishi was sent back by her.
The two won together and broke the all-time record in six minutes.
Why so fast? Because the arena is less than 200 meters away from Ye Wu and the others...
What a dramatic scene.
Misaka Mikoto rubbed the back of her head and smiled apologetically, "That's really helpful. Thank you."
"You're welcome, senior." It just so happened that Ye Wu and the others also had something to ask for.
"That's right. Can you tell us where the communications store is?"
"Hey, do you want to buy a mobile phone?" Misaka Mikoto looked a little surprised.
The two nodded in agreement.
"Many merchants in the academy do not accept Japanese yen from outside. The academy only accepts Japanese yen with special IC chips."
"ah--"
Seeing that the junior was a little frustrated, Misaka Mikoto suggested, "You can exchange it with my money."
"Then you can't use it." Shiraishi was worried about causing trouble to the other party and was a little hesitant.
"It's okay. I will use these coins when I go back to my hometown Kanagawa during the holidays." Misaka Mikoto comforted him.
------
Leading Ye Wu and the two of them to the 15th school district.
"I was in a hurry, so I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Misaka Mikoto, and I am a first-year student at Tokiwadai Middle School."
"Nozaki Wu, I am in sixth grade this year."
"Shiraishi Kuranosuke, we are close friends." Shiraishi hooked Ye Wu's neck with one hand and made a handsome gesture towards Misaka Mikoto.
While chatting on the road, Misaka Mikoto took good care of the two juniors.
She also patiently answered the two's curious questions about Academy City.
Soon we arrived at the communications store.
Among the dazzling array of high-tech products, Ye, Wu and Baishi tearfully chose the cheapest one.
Although it is the cheapest, mobile phone technology is still far beyond the technological level of the outside world.
At least it's a leap from foldable phones to full-screen phones.
"Dear customer, this mobile phone is priced at 40,000 yen." The robot shopping guide introduced at the side.
Surprisingly cheap.
But it almost emptied their pocket money.
Misaka Mikoto said bluntly, disapprovingly,
"After all, this is a technological city, and the consumer group is also students, so the price of this style will not be too high."
After paying for the two of them, the three of them left the mobile phone store.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi took out his wallet and handed 40,000 yen to Misaka Mikoto.
The other party took it calmly.
After Ye Wu handed the money to Misaka Mikoto, when he was putting his wallet back into his tennis bag, a cell phone pendant accidentally fell from his school bag.
He bent down to pick it up, and just as he was breaking it and stuffing it back into the tennis bag, Ye Wu suddenly felt a strong gaze.
After confirming the look in the girl's eyes, Ye Wu handed over the frog pendant in his hand.
"Do you like it? I can give it to you."
"Gutai!!" Misaka Mikoto said with a flushed face, excitedly.
"Do you really want to give it to me? This is a limited edition Guotai. I have drawn many draws and failed to collect it."
European Emperor Ye Wu's expression remained unchanged, "It's okay, I still have a lot at home."
"This guy is very lucky. He often wins first prizes and limited editions. Misaka-senpai, please feel free to accept them."
Misaka Mikoto took the pendant with both hands and smiled from ear to ear, "Then I'll accept it. Thank you."
"I'll treat you to dinner."
To express her gratitude, Misaka Mikoto suggested.
"No, we have to meet up soon. We're in a hurry." Bai Shiyu declined apologetically.
Seeing that the other party refused the invitation, Misaka Mikoto was not angry or embarrassed.
"Okay then, let's say goodbye here and see you again when we are destined." Misaka Mikoto waved goodbye.
"Misaka-senpai's character is so free and honest." Looking at the other person's retreating back, Shiraishi Kuranosuke felt a lot.
"So Zang Lin, you are from the Nianxia sect?" Ye Wu teased the other party.
"What...what, I didn't think that!" Shiraishi's face turned red and he was so anxious that he even spoke in a Kansai accent.
Seeing that Ye Wu was still acting carelessly, Bai Shi ignored him and directly raised his elbow to strangle the opponent's throat to threaten him.
The two of them quarreled all the way and went to meet the teacher.
--------
The bustling Tokyo streets are dimly lit.
After returning to the hotel and washing up, Ye Wu stretched out his hand to tighten the curtains, and the bustle came to an end in an instant.
Lying on their own beds, everyone was too tired to speak.
Ye Wu only felt that he was super nervous all day long.
It was only at this moment that the whole person slowly relaxed.
"I really benefited a lot today." Bai Shi turned sideways and said with mixed feelings to Ye Wu in the bed next to him.
Ye Wu rolled his eyes silently in the dark, he really benefited a lot!
I learned that there is not only fantasy tennis in this world, but also super powers in Tokyo.
No wonder, most of the study trip destinations for elementary school students are Tokyo or Kyoto Prefecture. It is indeed a place where they can gain a lot of experience.
------
On the second day, we visited an ancient Edo-style temple.
Compared with yesterday's journey that refreshed the world view, it was unexpectedly simple.
This made Ye Wu's worried heart finally drop.
Today is the third day of free activities.
Baishi got up early in the morning to say goodbye to Ye Wu and set out to visit the botanical garden.
After Ye Wu had a full sleep, he wandered around the hotel, preparing to buy some souvenirs to go back to.
While walking, he happened to pass by a temple. For some unknown reason, Ye Wu went in to visit.
The simple and natural scene made Ye Wu go deep into the place unknowingly.
The courtyard is deep, with sparse shadows and slanting shadows, and the ancient well has no waves.
The afternoon sun should have been blazing, but in this deep environment there was a breeze.
Suddenly seeing a tennis court hidden in the distance, Ye Wu was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the temple also had a tennis court. Ye Wu's sharp eyes spotted a person lying on the corridor in the courtyard next to him.
Dingqing walked over and took a look, and saw that the other person had bronze skin, a shaggy chin, and was wearing a black monk's robe. He was lying with his legs crossed without any scruples, holding a magazine and looking at it intently.
The other party heard the sound and glanced at Ye Wu casually with a pair of cat eyes.
Seeing this man's familiar appearance as in the anime, Ye Wu suddenly felt high in fighting spirit.
I just blurted it out without thinking,
"Hello, Echizen-senpai, can I challenge you? Tennis."
