"It's us, Ice Emperor!"
"Yes!"
He looked at the group of young people, and the memories of the past three years flashed through his mind.
He personally watched these young people grow from freshmen in the first grade to where they are now, shedding their immaturity.
My height and weight have grown.
The only thing that remains unchanged is their eyes.
It is their heart that loves tennis.
Of course, there is an exception that seems like a plug-in.
He glanced at someone and sighed in his heart: God seemed to be playing a joke on the world. Such a great talent, what a pity...
wrong,
These children will shine in their respective fields in the future, and that is enough.
One should passionately pursue the dreams of youth, and also strive for one's ideals as an adult.
"First, Oshitari Yuushi, you can go now."
"Yes, coach."
Oshitari Yuushi nodded.
"The singles match between the Seishun students and Hyotei Academy will begin soon."
"Okay, I'm going to go up~ Remember to cheer for me~"
Taocheng Wujiang threw the towel off his shoulder.
"Senior, please don't litter~"
Just as the first-year student of Qingxue was busy picking up the towel, a breeze blew by and blew the towel right onto the seat.
"I said it's no problem~"
Taocheng Wu waved his right hand without even turning his head, as if he had expected it.
"The winner will be decided in one set, with Seigaku Momoshiro serving."
"It's been so long since I last participated in a formal competition, I'm so excited that I'm shaking!"
Yuushi Oshitari stood at the bottom line, ready for battle.
“Boom——”
Takeshi Momoshiro chose the "bullet serve" at the beginning!
As Yuushi Oshizu hit back, he thought to himself: the power of the serve has become a little stronger, but nothing else has changed at all...
Wait!
This ball!
Just as he was thinking that, the tennis ball that was originally hitting the right side of the court bounced back, but did not hit the right side according to inertia, but hit the left side.
"The ball... bounced erratically?"
A slight bouncing sound attracted his attention.
Um?
Is it because there is a small stone on the ground?
"That can't be helped."
After all, it is an uncontrollable factor.
but,
The second goal was the same.
This time, there was still a small stone at the point where the tennis ball landed, which bounced a few times and then stopped moving.
"...Is it a coincidence?"
Taocheng Wu reminded: "Well, it would be better to pick it up first, right?"
Did that guy deliberately aim at the spot where the stone would land and then hit it?
Oshitari Yuushi was extremely surprised.
These guys from Qingxue always bring "surprises" every time we meet~
Really, interesting.
Takeshi Momoshiro on the opposite side showed his big white teeth and smiled brightly.
Oshitari Yuushi raised his eyebrows but declined to comment.
It's really weird~
The more Oshitari Yuushi fought, the more surprised he became: This man is different from Momoshiro Takeshi who usually uses force to suppress his opponents.
While fighting back, he was thinking.
Successfully figured out the difference after three goals.
It turns out that Takeshi Momoshiro only used about 70% of his usual strength and changed his playing style to one that emphasized ball control accuracy.
