Everyone was exhausted after a day's work. Zizhou lay down as soon as he returned to the dormitory. Although Yukimura, who lived downstairs, was also sweating, he was not like Zizhou. It was Zizhou who was almost falling asleep.
"Zizhou, it's better to get up and take a shower. You will catch a cold if you sleep with wet clothes." After taking a shower, Yukimura found that Zizhou was almost asleep, so he hurriedly called him.
Shiraishi, who had already packed up, saw Yukimura calling Zizhou and wanted to go up to help. But before he could do so, Zizhou woke up to Yukimura's persistent calling.
He got up dazedly, his hair was no longer smooth as usual and was frizzy like a hedgehog.
At this time, Fuji had already taken some things from the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory.
"I brought some food from the cafeteria. Take a look and see what you want to eat."
After saying that, he put the things in his hand on the table.
Zizhou was dejected. He packed his clothes and walked towards the bathroom.
"You guys eat first, I'll take a shower first, and leave the last portion to me, thank you, Fuji."
"Okay, you can take it from the table when the time comes."
Yukimura and Shiraishi should have finished cleaning up and were already eating the food. Bu Er also considerately placed Zizhou's portion closest to Ion Island.
After taking a shower and eating, everyone lay in bed quietly for a rare moment, thinking about what happened today. They had experienced too much that day. Compared to others, Zizhou is much better, not only because he knows the truth about his partner's departure, but more importantly, he has experienced too many separations and is more open-minded.
Sometimes separation is just for a better meeting.
In this way, everyone stayed up all night to welcome the arrival of the next day.
Zizhou got up early and woke up suddenly. In fact, he had a dream. The world in the dream was full of white fog. He couldn't find the direction and had no place to go. He felt a little confused. In fact, he never knew what else he could do in this world besides tennis, and it seemed that he had lost the motivation for anything.
In the past, after completing a mission, he could go directly to the next world, day after day. Until now, everything is different. His system is new, and everything has to be upgraded to have more functions. Everyone has different ideas and cannot understand Zizhou's current mood at all.
Without disturbing anyone, Zizhou walked towards the court in the dark with his racket. When Zizhou saw the ghost, he didn't say anything, but just nodded to the ghost and walked to the other side. Facing the wall, Zizhou was warming up while thinking about a question he had never thought about before: what he would do in the future.
"Host, the main system here detects that your emotions are fluctuating too much. Please adjust as soon as possible. 』
But Zizhou, who was still thinking about something, didn't hear it at all. Now he had almost blocked out all the sounds from the outside world.
To outsiders, Zizhou's movements seem mechanical and stiff. Gui Jujiro, who had noticed this a long time ago, put down the racket in his hand, walked behind Zizhou, and put his hand on Zizhou's shoulder.
Zizhou felt someone patting his shoulder, and when he came to his senses, he turned to look at the ghost.
"Senior Gui, is there something wrong?" Zizhou was really confused. He really didn't know Gui and didn't expect Senior Gui to come to him.
"You... are not at peace." The ghost said it very tactfully. If it weren't for Zhongdao's sake, the ghost probably wouldn't have said it that way. Maybe roaring would have been more practical.
"If you encounter any problems, you can talk to Zhongdao about it. You won't be able to solve them if you endure it alone." Gui has seen Zizhou's games. He is a good seedling. As long as he works hard, he will definitely have a place in the Japanese tennis world in the future.
Zizhou was stunned. He saw concern on the fierce face. It must be said that if Zizhou did not have good eyesight and strong perception, ordinary people would not be able to see the expression of Ghost Senior.
"Thank you, Senior. I've adjusted myself very well."
The ghost looked at Zhou carefully and made a suggestion.
"Let's have a fight. There's still some time before breakfast. Let me see your strength."
Zizhou followed Gui silently. He didn't think about anything else now. As the "Gatekeeper of Hell" of Court No. 5, Gui Jujiro's strength was definitely among the best in this training camp.
Zizhou is not a person who follows the rules. He loves challenges and excitement in his heart. He didn't know why he was so stubborn just now, but now he had a chance to vent, so he was naturally happy.
The morning light seemed less dim under the street lamps, but it was not bright at this time of the day and almost no one was awake yet. The only sound here was the breathing of the two people.
"Why would Senior Gui want to fight with me?" Zizhou asked the question that was puzzled in his mind. They obviously didn't know each other, so even if they were seniors and juniors, there was no need for him to help him like this.
"We watched your game in the national competition with Zhongdao." Gui didn't say the reason directly, but instead told Zizhou why he felt they were watching him during this period.
Zizhou smiled awkwardly. Because of his relationship with Taneshima, he didn't pay much attention to the people who came with Taneshima at that time, so naturally he didn't remember Onigijujiro and the other person. Now he thinks that the other person should be Senior Irie from yesterday.
"So that's how it is. No wonder. But I still thank you, Senior."
Zizhou stood opposite Gui, and Gui Jujiro did not ask to serve, so he let Zizhou serve first. The light was so dazzling that Zizhou squinted his eyes unconsciously, but the movements of his hands were not affected.
Zizhou did not hide his weakness. He knew that Gui was very powerful, so he increased his strength in the first ball.
When Gui Jujiro fought back, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zizhou to be stronger than he thought. He laughed wantonly, making his already ferocious face even more terrifying.

But as Jijujiro is a power tennis player, Zizhou was really under a lot of pressure. He couldn't help but use both hands when he received the ball from Jijujiro.
He had to use the force of the opponent from time to time to barely continue the game, but Zizhou felt very happy. His wholehearted fight had filled Zizhou's eyes with excitement.
Now he didn't want to think about anything else but to defeat Onijujiro. In the past, because he was more stable, he always considered the pros and cons of everything, which bound him and formed a habit for him. This time it was like venting, and I knew that the ghost was very powerful, so I didn't take it into consideration.
So Zizhou quickly released his mental power, surrounding the entire court, leaving no time for Gui Jujiro to react. The ghost was dragged into the false world by Zizhou without realizing it.
"Brother Ghost, look at the painting I picked."
"Ghost Brother, I drew portraits of everyone. This is Ghost Brother, and this is me."
…
Kijujiro couldn't even remember that he was in a competition. It was just like any other normal day, very natural.
Zizhou was not very happy when he saw that the ghost had been trapped. He had just released most of his mental power, which was continuously provided to the false realm. This was the first time he released such a huge amount of mental power, but when Zizhou saw that he was trapped, he took it back.
Thinking it was not good to leave Senior Ghost here alone, he sat on the ground and started to daydream.
It didn't take long before the ghost woke up and looked around in a daze. Finally, he saw Zizhou sitting on the ground opposite him with a complicated expression. He had underestimated Zizhou's strength, which caused him to suffer a great loss.
"Let's go. Breakfast will be ready in the cafeteria soon."
Kijujiro was not angry. He was very pleased with Zizhou's strength and recognized Zhongdao's vision. Zizhou's character could also be seen from his playing style. He was a good kid.
After coming to his senses, Zizhou stood up and followed the ghost to the cafeteria.
