On the stands, Byodoin Phoenix smiled slightly. He was probably the only one among those present who understood Niou's true purpose: he just wanted to play around.
For him now, having fun is more important than anything else.
These guys don't seem that smart; they're a little bit dim-witted. Since that's the case, let's expose their stupidity and squeeze every last drop of their ability and skill out of them!
only……
"I have a feeling he'll be disappointed today!"
Because the competition wasn't at that level, and these two players' skill level was still somewhat different from the others that Renou regularly played against.
It's probably impossible to let him have his fill, so the only thing we can do is let him experience it and have a proper doubles match!
Sigh~
"What are you sighing about?" Mifune Nyudo said from the side.
"It's nothing—just a sigh. It's because we're not strong enough that someone like him is now fighting so poorly!"
His words truly showed his sympathy for Niou. After all, Niou had always preferred playing doubles. Although his personality wasn't particularly likable and he didn't have a doubles partner who was a perfect match for him, everyone could see that he had always loved playing doubles.
but……
However, due to various reasons, he can only stay in the singles arena and become the gatekeeper that everyone can trust. This is actually extremely unfair to Niou.
When he was at Rikkai University, he could do what he wanted to do and be the one who was taken care of. But now, what have they given him?
She has nothing, yet she can only rely on him!
This is not good.
but……
"There's nothing we can do about it. With great power comes great responsibility. This is a duty that someone at his level should enjoy and fulfill, but..."
I never expected that Niou was such a person with dreams.
He has his own pursuits and ideas, which leads to the result he wants being contrary to reality. Others might persuade Niou to consider the overall interests and give up his ideas.
Moreover, most people think this is a good thing. After all, no matter how well a player plays, they can't match the dominance and composure of a singles player. This is a common understanding in the tennis world. A player who can support the entire match without relying on anyone around them is truly a very powerful and higher-level player. So, no one took this matter to heart.
After all, who wouldn't want to be at a higher level? People are smart and self-interested. Why wouldn't they pursue higher and better opportunities? So no one finds this matter particularly unacceptable.
This overlooks the true thoughts of the person involved.
However, for Byodoin Phoenix, Niou's thoughts and pursuits are always the top priority.
Byodoin Phoenix only cares whether Niou has this thought in his mind.
If it happened in the past and has never been said again, then it's a thought, isn't it? In any case, he hopes that Niou will have the opportunity to play doubles matches in the future.
So~
He has worked hard and withstood pressure from all sides, allowing Ren-Wang to now stand on the doubles court.
To be honest, no matter how outstanding Niou is, unless he reveals his identity as a king to reassure everyone, at his current age, he is still somewhat young and subject to skepticism within the team.
It's a very real problem no matter where you are—
Reality leaves one speechless, with the obvious truths laid bare before them from beginning to end.
And Nioh...
"But you also need to know that this is his last doubles match. Whether it's this year's World Cup or future competitions, the world probably doesn't want to see him play doubles again!"
To be precise, the world cannot tolerate a strong singles player who has always been involved in doubles.
Moreover, Nioh's fighting style is a bit too abnormal in many aspects.
Most doubles players simply cannot adapt and can only cope awkwardly, which is not a good thing for the doubles community.
so……
Mifune Nyudo's words are already very clear.
"I can only say that I respect his wishes, and I will not stop him from doing what he wants to do—" But Byodoin Phoenix blinked, as if pretending to be confused, and said.
"Hey, you're really playing dumb, aren't you? You don't understand what I'm saying, but the reality is right here. Whether you understand or not, the outcome is the same. Don't think you're always looking out for him; perhaps..."
"Maybe next year you won't want to stay in kindergarten teacher training and will want to do something else, right?"
Phoenix of Byodoin interrupted directly.
"The purpose of my existence is simply to ensure that he can do whatever he wants without having to worry about anything else. As long as he wants to do it, that's enough. I'll take care of the rest. That's all!"
so……
"Coach, you really didn't need to tell me so much, did you?"
"The Phoenix of Byodoin said."
Because from beginning to end, he has always been on Niou's side in terms of attitude and state. If you were to seek his opinion, he would most likely want Niou to live a lively and happy life.
As for what Niou wants to do or doesn't want to do in the future, that's his own business. But if anyone prevents Niou from doing what he wants, then that person will become that person's greatest enemy and the most terrifying target of attack.
He will not allow anyone to hinder what Nioh wants to do—and even less will he allow anyone to be the one to prevent Nioh from doing what he likes and wants!
so……
It's a bit unnecessary to talk to him about this!
"Oh, I forgot, I really can't talk to you about this. You're on the other side, and you're very loyal to them!"
Coach Mifune fully understands the occurrence of this emotion and the outcome of this matter.
What he couldn't understand was how Byodoin Phoenix had become like this.
