Kamishiro Lan turned her head and saw a short, somewhat handsome boy.
"Hey." Echizen Ryoma pressed his hat down and raised the corners of his mouth.
"What's the point of bullying a rookie?"
"Oh?" Kamishiro Lan looked at Echizen Ryoma with interest.
The protagonist is indeed the same as in the anime. No matter how strong the opponent is, he has to make his presence felt.
However, Echizen Ryoma is currently so weak that he doesn't even want to let Kamishiro Lan fight him.
One of the reasons why Nanjiro Echizen sent Ryoma Echizen to Seigaku was that he wanted Ryoma Echizen to lead Seigaku out of its predicament.
I just want Longma to compete with more masters.
When the school you are in is relatively weak, the inner unwillingness will often make it burst out with greater potential.
Born in adversity, die in comfort.
Joining a strong junior high school like Rikkai University often means not getting many opportunities and losing the chance to compete officially with the strongest.
Echizen Nanjiro's idea was very good.
But he miscalculated.
Echizen Ryoma's growth rate at Seigaku is far from what he expected.
Until now, it has not even reached the Kanto level.
As a protagonist, Ryoma Echizen is undoubtedly unqualified.
Thinking of this, Kamishiro Lan showed his signature smile.
"Echizen Ryoma, it is a rare courage to take a step into the unknown, but it is foolish to take that step when you know nothing about yourself."
After saying that, he walked out the door. In his spare time, he looked up at the weather and said with emotion: "I never realized before that today's weather is really sunny."
Watching Kamishiro Ai disappear, Echizen Ryoma's face darkened to the extreme and his fists clenched tightly.
“This guy…”
"Hahaha, kid, get out of here! With your little ability, do you really think you are a nobody?" Akutsu stood up and immediately offered friendly "consolations".
If he wasn't covered in wounds, he would have punched him.
"Tsk." Echizen Ryoma snorted coldly, pressed his hat down and walked out the door.
"Fudomine, Kamishiro Lan, interesting, I will remember you."
"As for you...you're still far from it." He glanced at Akutsu with disdain.
.......
The second day.
There is less than a month left before the regional competition, and every school is actively preparing for it, and Qingxue is no exception.
After learning about some of Fudomine's strength, Gan silently increased the training intensity of each regular selection.
Although the difficulty of the regional competition is not high, the champion of the regional competition can be a good morale booster.
only.
We will face Fudomine in the regional competition.
"That Kamishiro Ran..." When Gan thought of the pace and ball skills mastered by Kamishiro Ran, his face suddenly became extremely solemn.
"With the backing of the Kamishiro Group, the resources Fudomine has obtained are far beyond what Seigaku can compare to. They are definitely the biggest dark horse this year."
"We need to work harder, the amount of training is not enough." Gan thought so and looked at the training ground with flickering eyes.
"Hey, Echizen Ryoma doesn't seem to be in good shape today."
Gan soon noticed Ryoma Echizen who was fighting Momoshiro in the field.
"The angle of his racket holding posture is 5 degrees different from before, his breathing is disordered, and his speed, power and accuracy have all declined by at least 5 percentage points. What is he thinking about?"
"This is not the Echizen Ryoma I know."
Ever since Echizen Ryoma joined Seigaku, he has attracted much attention.
The opponent is the son of the legendary Echizen Nanjiro, who broke the rule that first-year students of Seigaku do not touch the ball, and was valued by Tezuka Kunimitsu.
During his time at Seigaku, Echizen Ryoma showed great potential.
But there is still a big gap between him and the national-level masters.
.......
"How did that Kamishiro Lan know my name? How dare he call me stupid! How can he know if I can do it without fighting?"
During the training with Momoshiro, Echizen's mind was in a mess.
When I think of Kamishiro Lan, I feel humiliated.
"What's wrong with me?"
"Damn it, Kamishiro Lan, I'm no worse than him!"
"Bang." The tennis ball fell towards the bottom corner and bounced out of the baseline.
"Echizen, what are you doing? Why are you always absent-minded?" Momoshiro's dissatisfied voice sounded.
Not long ago, he felt Echizen Ryoma's perfunctory attitude.
However, both the counterattack and the running were a level weaker than before.
Although Echizen has good potential, its strength is only slightly stronger than that of Momoshiro at present.
But the score was 3-0, with Taocheng leading.
Echizen couldn't even cause Momoshiro any trouble.
"What's wrong with the little one today?" Even Kikumaru and others noticed that something was wrong with Echizen.
"Echizen, concentrate on training." Tezuka frowned and said coldly.
In his impression, Echizen Ryoma was not someone who was easily distracted.
Moreover, Echizen has a strong desire to win and is eager to win even in training matches.
It is unreasonable for such a person to be distracted during the game.
"Sorry." Echizen Ryoma pressed his hat down and said in a low voice.
"Be serious, you're not afraid of losing to me, so you pretend to be absent-minded." Taocheng laughed.
"I'm so sorry."
Seeing that Echizen Ryoma had no intention of explaining, Momoshiro served the ball helplessly.
In the end, Taocheng won the training match with a score of 6-2.
After the game, Echizen Ryoma sat on the sidelines with a drink, drinking quietly.
The scene of the battle between Kamishiro Ai and Akutsu often appeared in his mind.
The unpredictable return force of a tennis ball and the extremely fast lightning.
Even with his excellent visual nerves, he was unable to capture the trajectory of the lightning.
He was the strongest man he had ever seen, except for the minister and that old man.
"Echizen, what are you thinking about?" Gan came to Echizen Ryoma, his thick glasses reflecting light: "Is it what happened yesterday?"
Everything went well for Ryoma Echizen in yesterday's training, and the result is obvious.
Maybe something happened to him after school.
"Senior Gan, do you know Fudomine?"
Echizen Ryoma did not answer, but asked instead.
"Fudo Peak..." Upon hearing this, Gan's eyes flickered.
Why would Echizen ask about Fudomine?
Now the Fudomine should be in closed training, so there is no reason for him to come into contact with people from the Fudomine.
Apart from Kamishiro Ai and Tachibana Yoshihei, Fudomine doesn't have any particularly strong members.
The regular players like Kamio who likes to hang out on street tennis courts are no match for Echizen in terms of strength.
Judging from Echizen's condition, he may have encountered an opponent who is much stronger than himself.
Could it be...Kamiyo Lan?
Thinking of this guess, Gan narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Why are you interested in Fudomine, Echizen?"
"Do you know Kamishiro Lan?" Echizen Ryoma took a deep breath and asked.
"Kamiyo Lan?!" Upon hearing that, Gan's pupils shrank.
"Senior Gan, you really do know him." Seeing Gan's slightly trembling fingers, Echizen Ryoma raised his voice: "Please tell me about him."
