Chapter 172: Players and the Trembling Yajiudou Rice Ball...
"Still no contact?"
"Beep...beep...The number you dialed is currently unanswered. Please try again later...THE NUMBER YOU CALL..."
"Strange! Even if there's a time difference, Japan should be the most active at this time. Given Long Ya's personality, she wouldn't be quiet for this long..."
"Strange, absolutely bizarre. Did something bad happen to Long Ya in Japan?"
"Hey, hey, why are you starting conspiracy theories now, Dudu?"
"Otherwise, there seems to be no better way, Kiko,"
"Ah, but—"
"Okay, be quiet,"
“—Reinhardt! You’re here!!”
The blond man called Reinhardt is the captain of the U-17 US national team.
Ralph Reinhardt,
At this moment, they were worried about the whereabouts of their unreliable Japanese team member, Ryuga Echizen.
"Reinhardt, the U-17 qualifiers are about to begin, and Long Ya hasn't returned yet. If we delay for a few more days, it will be too late!"
"Yeah, even if you can't make it back in time, you should at least text us or call us to let us know what's going on. Long Ya always disappears without a trace, but this isn't a normal situation!"
"Reinhardt—"
"Okay, stop for a moment,"
In silence, the blond man, Ralph Reinhardt, finally made the final decision.
"——Contact Long Ya again and try to get a reply before the U-17 Open."
Kiko Valentine pressed on, "What if I can't get it?"
“…”
Reinhardt was silent for a moment. "Players from all continents are gathered at the training grounds. Long Ya's position...is not irreplaceable."
He finally spoke, and Dudu Ovando and Kiko Valentine got the exact answer and looked at each other.
The mood did not relax at all,
...Where on earth did this guy Echizen Ryuga go?
“—Ugh! U ...
"Vomiting!! He vomited again!!!"
"Someone come quickly—no, bring the juice quickly!!"
They rushed out from the wide-open mouth, one after another, accompanied by a rainbow of different colors.
A young Shujima lost his dream.
Become a salted fish that can only lie there dead.
Now we are on the flight route to Australia.
Special application by the Atobe Foundation to ensure the safety, health and safety of the entire route.
The external danger has been eliminated, and what remains is the crisis from within.
Jibaimao is eager to try and drive the Atobe Foundation's centennial special celebration super customized giant aircraft carrier to send the U17 team to the limited time check-in location: [Australia],
But this time, whether it was the Jibaimao toxic fans or the Jibaimao oppressors, from the U17 coaching staff to the U17 players, they all voted against it.
Even Keigo Atobe went to great lengths to contribute one of his own aircraft carriers and several accompanying pilots and waiters to put an end to such dangerous ideas.
Just kidding - they're just willing to risk their lives for tennis.
It doesn’t mean you have to die on the way to play tennis!
In the previous two rounds of elimination, the members of the group had truly experienced Jibaimao's almost superb and miraculous driving skills.
For a while, no one dared to let him drive this kind of aircraft carrier.
A bus can already launch missiles.
Not to mention an aircraft carrier,
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!!!!”
"Vomiting again!!! Hurry, someone come get some support!!"
This time, the U17 coach Takushi Ryuji took the stage, carrying the Super Tenth Generation Concentrated Kei Juice Cannon, and struck Taneshima Shuji, who was vomiting rainbows and creating rainbows, without mercy.
Tanejima Shuji, who was still wearing a mask of pain in the previous second, fell asleep peacefully in the next second.
The speed of falling asleep and the quality of sleep are comparable to those of a carefree baby.
Is that all—No, no!
Takushi Ryuji fired another backhanded Keishi Cannon.
Shuji Tanejima finally got a baby-like sleep!
Anyone who witnessed this scene could not help but sigh inwardly, "It's tragic, it's so tragic, it's just too tragic."
Looking at the dead body of Shuji Tanejima, everyone shuddered, and then turned their heads and pretended not to see it.
"Lower your presence...Lower your presence. As long as the bastards don't notice, it's fine. As long as the bastards don't notice, it's fine..."
They watched their noses and hearts silently, fearing that the cat would come to their door. Now they dared not laugh or cry.
Spaced out, distributed in twos and threes,
Squinting his eyes, he watched the miserable end of Shuji Tanejima, who was taken aboard an aircraft carrier due to airsickness and ended up getting even more airsick. Fuji Shusuke curled his lower lip and turned around to say something to the people around him.
When I looked closely, I found that the other party was concentrating on reading the Tennis Global News specially provided on the airship.
I have been stuck on a certain page for a long time.
Fuji whispered, "Tezuka?"
“…”
"Um."
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression changed very little. When he heard Fuji's voice calling him, he just slowly pulled away from the newspaper and raised his head.
He adjusted his face to change into a new glasses frame, "What's wrong, Fuji?"
Fuji Shusuke's peripheral vision quickly glanced at the newspaper that Tezuka had not put down even at this moment.
Yu Guangzhong and the huge keywords quickly caught my eye.
【Jurgen Barisavich Volk】
That is...
Tezuka Kunimitsu naturally noticed his companion's gaze, but he did not feel unhappy about having his privacy intruded upon.
Calmly, even calmly and calmly, she spread out the newspaper and pushed it in front of him.
As a result, the contents written on it came into Fuji Shusuke's eyes.
【Captain of the U-17 Tokugawa team】
【Jurgen Barisavich Volker (career)】
"...The German Tennis Association announced that the German national team, winners of the U-17 World Cup for nine consecutive years, will be fielding three professional players for the first time since the team's founding!"
"Germany... the national team?" Fuji Shusuke muttered, his attention particularly focused on the 'German National Team' and the 'professional' that followed 'Jurgen Barisavich Volker'.
"Oh? Now, even professional players can participate in the U-17?"
They were watching when suddenly someone else's voice came from behind them.
Niou Masaharu twirled his pigtails, and even without avoiding the gaze, he spoke with a playful smile.
"Isn't this too unfair?"
"--Won't,"
Another deep and powerful voice came from the high school student group, Byodoin Phoenix.
"As long as they are within the age limit, U-17 players are allowed to participate."
"Hmm~~Is that so?"
Niou Masaharu looked at them, and suddenly, a thought fluttered in his mind, and he spoke as if unintentionally,
"So, Byodoin-kun, do you know anything about this 'Walker' player?"
He narrowed his eyes and continued, "After all, if we're all in the U17, we're bound to face off against this 'Walker' player sooner or later, right?"
As soon as Niou Masaharu said this, everyone looked over.
After all, he was right. As long as those who were selected for the U17 team could persist for one day in the U17 match, they would definitely have a chance to play against Jurgen Barisavich Volker.
Byodoin Phoenix did not answer immediately. Instead, he fell into a state of relative silence and contemplation.
This was quite unusual for him. Those who had not shown any interest before were now staring at this place intently, fearing that they would miss out on something important.
The mentality of eating melons prevailed, and after a long time, Equal to the Temple gave his most thoughtful answer.
"Jurgen Barisavich Volker is known as 'the man who changed the world of tennis,'"
Everyone waited and waited, and finally only heard this sentence:
"So, no more?"
Byodoin's expression was not very good, and he squeezed out another sentence like squeezing toothpaste.
Nicknamed "The Philosopher Who Leads to Victory," he is the strongest professional in active service and has been named the world's strongest man.
After taking a breath, Byodoin spoke again, "Novak Brynner,"
"The current world number one failed to win against Volker."
As soon as the whole speech was said, Volker's strength suddenly became concrete before everyone's eyes.
A man who can be called the best in the world.
Should I join the U17 team now and stand on the other side of their net?
All of a sudden, everyone felt a huge pressure.
But at the same time when the pressure was overwhelming, a sudden sound came out.
"So, between Volker and Kei... who's more powerful?"
“…”
“…”
Silence, silence is spreading,
When this question came out, everyone no longer cared about whether they were under pressure or not.
The guy who can ask this question is also a genius.
But they couldn't help but start imagining after hearing this sentence.
Kei Yagi/Kei-sama/Head Coach and the current world number one ranked player Jurgen Barisavich Volker...
——No matter how hard I try, I can’t imagine it? !!
One is the strongest on the face of the earth and has reached the ceiling of what humans can achieve.
But the other one is no longer human.
Comparing humans and non-humans, isn't that a bit unfair to Jurgen Barisavich Volker?
Without knowing it, before the comparison, everyone had already spontaneously determined in their hearts that Yagi Kei's strength had already surpassed the human level.
To some extent, this is already a kind of answer.
This question still did not get a definite answer.
Byodoin Phoenix didn't answer, and the others' brains went into overload and automatically shut down when they thought of the scene of Yagi Kei fighting 'Walker', and they couldn't imagine it at all.
"——But it doesn't matter, I believe in Yagi Yagi!!"
Toyama Kintaro said to Kirihara Akaya, who had first asked the fatal question, with great generosity and certainty,
"If it's Yagi Yagi... I have a feeling that anyone would be impressed!"
"Xiao Jin——"
Kirihara Akagi's eyes were filled with tears, full of excitement and joy of meeting a fellow sufferer.
"Bang--Puff,"
The sound of a soda can being opened, Echizen Ryoma, who was passing by silently holding a can of Ponta, spoke casually,
"Yeah, after all, even if you're number one in the world, being bombarded with golden crisps over and over again will definitely succumb to the bomb's charm."
“…”
“…”
I really want to retort that cats are charming too, but I'm completely speechless.
"I, we won't talk nonsense with you!!"
Kirihara Akaya and Toyama Kintaro decisively isolated Echizen Ryoma, holding hands and running away.
Almost, everyone had enough of the show and dispersed.
After a while, only Fuji Shusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu were left.
For the moment, let's put aside the deadly issue of a chicken-breaking cat versus the world's number one.
At the moment, Fuji Shusuke is more concerned about Tezuka Kunimitsu's condition and thoughts.
"...Tezuka, you..."
Tezuka had already folded the newspaper again and put it aside. He glanced at Fuji Shusuke's expression and the way he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Silent and calm, for a long while, he spoke again.
"No, I've made my decision, don't worry."
Fuji didn't answer, but continued to use those ice-blue eyes that should have been fierce, but now they were softer and gentler.
"But, Tezuka, the captain of the German team asked you..."
"To become stronger and stronger, we came to the U17 team,"
Tezuka did not directly answer Fuji Shusuke's question, "Similarly, in order to become stronger, I received an invitation from Germany."
"But now,"
His punctuation made Fuji hold his breath slightly. He took off his glasses, wiped them lightly, and put them back on. Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke again.
"The stronger one—is already here,"
He tilted his head slightly, and Fuji Shusuke followed his gaze and turned his head to look.
At the end of my sight, a black figure stood by the porthole, his expressionless face reflected in the transparent French window.
Dark, empty, and void eyes stared straight at the world outside the glass.
In his eyes, it seemed like there was nothing, and yet it seemed like everything...
Perhaps, this is exactly the bearing and aura he should have.
Even if they were the world's top professional players, even if they were elites from various countries, as long as they were still human, they posed no threat to him.
This is the existence that dominates the entire U17, the entire Japan, and even all the geniuses and stars of the same generation who were stepped on by him——
“Crash!”
The sudden loud sound of water breaking,
Water droplets splashed and overflowed, and the bean-sized water droplets splashed on the glass and slowly slid down, leaving several obvious water marks.
The tuna, hanging from a tennis racket and connected to the end of the fishing line, slapped the glass with its tail, making a very rhythmic "clang, clang, clang" sound.
The sound was so clear and loud that not only Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke, but also other people farther away could hear it clearly.
Just as he was about to immerse himself in the mysterious atmosphere and aura that Tezuka mentioned, Fuji: "..."
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who also witnessed this scene and was unable to continue, said: "..."
And Keigo Atobe, who had just sat down, shaking the 1982 grape juice in his red wine glass while preparing to enjoy the beautiful view from the window: "..."
No, why is this guy staring at the porthole while fishing? ! !
——Also, no matter how many times I've seen it, is it really possible to catch such a long, large, and powerful tuna from a glass without any problems?! !
Now that they are no longer acting, has the bucket been eliminated directly? !
"...Tezuka, is it okay even if this is the case?"
Faintly, one could almost hear the sound of Fuji gnashing his teeth.
Tezuka said nothing, only slowly adjusted his glasses, stared at it for a while, and turned his head silently.
"...Don't be careless, Fuji!"
——Don’t say such stereotyped lines at a time like this!!
Players are bored while fishing, and occasionally attack the NPC passing by.
All of a sudden, after being hit all over, Jibaimao's surroundings became a vacuum.
Everyone simply avoided it.
After all, no one wants to be stuffed with a ball of fishy, damp kelp just passing by, or a lantern-shaped anglerfish that looks so unrecognizable, or even smelly socks, shoes, and a wig (not a wig, but a laurel!!) that came from nowhere...
Finally, after the boring and long CG, all the NPCs on the aircraft carrier were hacked.
The limited-time mission check-in location - ['Australia'] has finally arrived!
“—Ugh… Wait, how did you land?!”
As soon as he regained consciousness, Shuji Tanejima felt like vomiting reflexively, and something was wrong.
The feeling of vomiting - seems to have disappeared!
Tanejima Shuji once again felt like he could be lively and energetic.
He still remembered the friendly support from everyone when he was unconscious.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water - now is the time for him to repay
Tanejima Shuji turned his head deliberately and took another look—
Oh, there are a bunch of people lying on the ground.
Look at the degree of bluish-white or purple complexion,
What kind of disaster is this...
"How can one word describe this tragedy..."
The only good news is that we have arrived at the destination of this journey - Australia.
This is not only good news for the players, but also unparalleled good news for all the U17 players.
Finally, finally I can escape from the clutches of the chicken-breaking cat for a short time,
I don't have to keep yelling at the cat anymore. It's so touching, I'm so grateful.
As soon as the cat landed on the aircraft carrier, it disappeared without a trace.
As a conditioned reflex, everyone will go looking for the cat everywhere.
The people in Lihai have become accustomed to extending Erkang's hand to stop, "It's okay, it's okay..."
"Kyu...I'll come back when I've had enough fun."
When Yukimura Seiichi said this, his face showed undisguised fatigue and helplessness.
It wasn't just Yukimura. All the players who were selected by Rikkai University, as well as Keigo Atobe who was called to find the cat again and again, were equally exhausted.
“…”
“Is that so…”
Everyone looked at each other, but the player had already taken the next step.
Let's start——Explore the new map!!
[Limited-time location check-in mission: Please go to a special location to accept the new map exploration mission! ]
[Ding—'Australia' landmark has been confirmed! ]
[Limited-time location check-in mission—completed!!]
[New event 'Trembling Akuto Rice Ball' has started——]
【Players please arrive at the venue within the limited time! 】
Australia, Golden Beach,
The U17 players were nervous as they were driven away by the coaching staff and told to do some special training after a short break.
While scanning the surroundings and collecting information, do not forget to speculate on the current situation.
What kind of training is this?
The beach, the lounge chairs, the parasols, and the people coming and going,
Then it couldn't be some non-human monster that appeared...
No, not necessarily. According to the head coach/chicken cat/Kei Yagi's personality, releasing monsters in a crowded downtown area so that they can pick up rackets and defeat the monsters with tennis balls or something like that—
It’s totally true!!
Suddenly, I was terrified when I thought of the people I was with.
Could they... release some big devil?
Moreover, this great devil is still missing.
——It’s completely more terrifying!!
"The roster for the Japanese U-17 World Cup team has now been confirmed, and under the leadership of Head Coach Yagi, the training at the U17 training camp has been elevated to a new level,"
Unable to empathize with the tense and nervous U17 members, Mifune Nyudo laughed heartily and said, "Now—this is the final moment of rest before the storm comes."
"——As a Japanese man, you should conquer the world!"
"Now—middle school students versus high school students! The beach pickup battle begins now!"
“…”
“…”
“…What are they talking about?”
"Um... um, well, aren't we... going to play tennis on the beach to eliminate demons and become superheroes to save all the innocent bystanders?"
“——?”
"Have these guys finally been trained to the point of losing their minds?"
"——I told you it's just a flirtation, so you should enjoy it to the fullest!!"
Mifune Nyudo's words were unchangeable. Even the devilish coaches Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio had already started to relax on the beach chairs, open a coconut and enjoy the summer.
After confirming that the coaches looked normal, he looked around and didn't sense any ominous aura related to the cat-breaking incident.
This place seems to be far away from tennis, far away from explosions, far away from life and death.
An absolutely perfect getaway from all the torture they'd experienced in the past—
"Could it be that... we've finally escaped the shadow of the base and can now start anew?!"
“Is this… heaven!?!!”
Of course, there are also savages who have been out of touch with society for a long time and have forgotten basic skills. They scratch their heads and ask,
"What's a flirt?... Are you going to bring a racket and a tennis ball?!"
"That's right, that's it, don't let up!"
"...Hey, Tezuka-kun, don't teach the wrong kids."
"Isn't it just teaching something bad or teaching something wrong?..."
All of a sudden, everyone started to discuss excitedly. There was a sense of homesickness and fear among them. It was unbelievable that such a good thing could happen.
Life in a foreign country is not without any threat of life or death, and I even have so much leisure and freedom.
In an instant, everyone changed clothes on the spot, spinning, jumping, non-stop——
Beach, sunshine, bikini - tomorrow, a beautiful tomorrow, is waiting for them -
"Of course - since it's a competition, there will definitely be penalties."
Mifunerudo hooked his finger.
"Those fools who failed—you must eat Mitsuya's special [Akuto Rice Ball],"
Mitsuya came out with a plate of colorful rice balls. The rice balls were so neatly arranged that it was impossible to tell what kind of fillings were inside.
But what we know now is that no matter how terrifying it is, it cannot surpass Gui Juice!
After all, this is a rice ball, a rice ball! It's better than juice—
Mitsuya Akuto also thought of this and smiled slightly.
"To increase the fun and challenge, I've randomly placed concentrated Keiyu from the first to tenth generations into each rice ball. Everyone can enjoy the memories of having Keiyu~"
“…”
God TM enjoy the past memories accompanied by Gui Juice,
No one wants this!!!
"Hmm... hehe, it's from one to ten generations, I really want to try it..."
Fuji Shusuke opened his eyes and said,
“…”
“…”
"Fuji, has he mutated into another species?"
Whispering, asking sincere questions, looking at Fuji Shusuke who was stroking his chin in thought, with a hint of fear in his eyes,
"It's possible... a very high degree of possibility."
"So, what species did he mutate into?"
“…”
Silence, silence for a long while,
Finally, without any expectation, I give the final answer.
"...Yagi Kei?"
"Yo."
“…”
“…”
It's too late to feel sad for the changed Fuji.
Now arriving at the battlefield is the U17 head coach and demon child, diligently performing parkour and descending from the sky on a parasol.
Everyone's psychological shadow,
——Yagi Kei! !
