Chapter 195: First and Second Updates - Players Quickly Earn U-17 World Cup Points...
A gathering of elites,
Almost all the national teams of the U-17 World Cup gathered here.
'——JAPAN (23) VS SWITZERLAND (2)! '
“—The game begins!”
On the verge of breaking out,
The audience's gaze, the national teams' gazes as they come to inspect the players,
And the two protagonists of this match, the U-17 Japanese national team and the U-17 Swiss national team,
All the atmosphere is compressed, condensed, gathered, and interwoven into a concentrated point.
"D2 Doubles 2, Henri Noble III (Switzerland), Pietrain Bill (Switzerland) vs. Echizen Ryuga (Japan), Kite Nagashiro (Japan)!"
The two players officially took the stage.
Before the official start of the match, the coaches of both teams will give some instructions or words of advice.
On the Swiss team, Henri Nobel III and Peter Lambiel held their rackets, their eyes shifting slightly, unable to control themselves, glancing to the other side.
The black-haired boy on the coach's bench,
In front of him, Echizen Ryomasa and Kide Nagashiro stood, one lazily and the other tensely.
But the eyes that were raised casually and lowered cautiously were all fixed on the cat sitting on the coach's bench without touching the ground.
Echizen Ryomasa: He seems indifferent but is actually very focused.
Nagashiro Kitade: It seems very concentrated and actually it is very concentrated.
Player: Hey, big fish!
After waiting for a while,
After waiting for a while,
Finally, the system couldn't stand it anymore and gave a "ding" reminder.
Only then did the immersive fishing players divert some of their attention to the two NPCs standing in front of them like gods.
What's the matter?
The players and the NPCs stared at each other for a long time, but still couldn't guess what was going on in these NPCs' minds.
Seeing that I can't get any effective advice and suggestions from Yagi Keina,
Echizen Ryuga and Kitade Nagashiro had to give up. Kitade Nagashiro just held his eyes, without any other extra thoughts.
But Echizen Ryoma looked deeply at the expressionless Jibaimao.
"Victory, we will bring it back soon~"
Although I didn't tell anyone explicitly, I could definitely sense it.
"This guy... is absolutely obsessed with getting the favor of Coach Yagi."
On the court, Echizen Ryuga and Kite Nagashiro, in sync with the D2 doubles team of the U-17 Swiss national team:
Henry Nobel III and Peter Lambiel face each other.
A network of separation,
Echizen Ryuya raised the corner of his lips, "Well, thank you for your guidance——"
“Beep!”
One ball cum out,
Bumping and hitting back and forth between rackets,
As the tug-of-war escalates, the confusing situation gradually becomes clearer.
Henry Nobel III witnessed the match between Swiss captain Alexander Amadeus and Kei Yagi at the same stadium where the U-17 Japanese national team stayed.
The seeds of shadow are planted in the mind.
The lingering darkness and fear,
The members of the U-17 Japanese national team who played in that match were unaware of it, but they followed the emergency personnel who brought Alexander Amadeus on a stretcher to the ward.
Henry Nobel III faced the awakening of Alexander Amadeus head-on.
Pale, bloodless,
The dark, unknown, sticky gelatinous substance seemed to cover not only his body surface, but even his soul deeper inside his body!
Amadeus woke up and opened his eyes suddenly.
Fear, panic, confusion and blankness,
The pupils were wide open and slightly dilated, as if they had witnessed something extremely terrifying.
The body was trembling slightly, and there were even signs of a strong struggle and a desire to break free.
The rescue medical staff took precautions and put on restraints on the spot, forcibly sedating Amadeus.
When Alexander Amadeus gradually regained his composure and his pupils slowly returned to normal shape,
He let out a long breath, and Henry and the others were finally able to get closer.
"...General?"
Henry Nobel III tried to call back the lucid consciousness of Alexander Amadeus.
Amadeus's eyes were fixed on Henry.
After a while,
"...How long was I unconscious?"
Lambiel and Henry exchanged a glance, confirming Amadeus's true return to consciousness. They suppressed their excitement.
"No, not long—"
"You were only unconscious for three hours!"
Alexander Amadeus was helped to sit up. The U-17 Swiss team players who had rushed over after hearing the news were standing beside his bed.
"—what happened, Amadeus?"
"Commander, how are you now?!"
"Did that player from the Japanese team do something to you?"
Endless and chaotic sounds,
The person being questioned, Alexander Amadeus, did not answer directly, nor did he stop, nor did he try to stop.
He just lowered his eyes and gaze, slowly stopping on his palm.
The open palm, curled and clenched, the finger bones exerted force, the veins on the back of the hand bulged,
Alexander Amadeus's abnormal behavior was noticed by everyone in the U-17 Swiss team.
They looked at each other and maintained a nearly dead silence.
Finally, it was the young and hot-tempered Henry Nobel III who spoke up.
"—General!"
"...Where's my racket?"
“…”
“…”
The first thing Alexander Amadeus asked for was his own racket.
Although he didn't understand, Albert Federer took out a racket from his backpack.
...Rather than being a racket, it no longer looks like a racket at all.
“…Here,”
Albert Federer showed it to everyone in the U-17 Swiss national team.
Empty strings, half of the racket frame is missing,
A closer look reveals that even the handle of the racket itself has been deeply corroded.
...What kind of force could corrode the racket to this extent!
Albert Federer handed over the racket. Alexander Amadeus looked at the racket lying on the bed. It was so corroded that it was almost unrecognizable.
He stretched out his hand, and held it tightly little by little.
In front of all the Swiss team members,
Palm fingerprints, perfect fit,
The force is so deep that it penetrates deep into the wood.
It is easy to imagine how much oppression and blow Alexander Amadeus, whose fingers had left marks on the handle of the racket, suffered at that moment.
“…”
Even Henry Nobel III, who had just shouted "Commander-in-Chief", slowly lost his voice when he saw this scene.
Alexander Amadeus held the racket, looked at it for a while, and finally, slowly put it down.
“…”
"The real [Darkness], turns out... is out there."
The seemingly ambiguous words were not understood by others, but Henry Nobel III remembered them in his heart.
Since that day, Alexander Amadeus, the world's No. 2 professional golfer, has been observed and detected by unknown sources.
The strength dropped sharply, declined sharply,
According to eyewitnesses and reliable sources -
Alexander Amadeus had completely forgotten how to even hold a racket!
Henry Nobel III almost watched Alexander Amadeus start over.
After losing all tennis-related skills,
He couldn't understand this at all, it was his blind spot.
How could Alexander Amadeus, the leader of professional players, forget how to hold a racket?
Standing on the court, Henry Nobel III came for revenge,
In order to bring the same pain to the players of the U-17 Japanese national team,
That's what he meant.
but,
The person he met was Ryuga Echizen, who also possessed the ability of ['Deprivation & Devouring']!
"Perfect coordination—!"
"Well done, junior high student."
Nagashiro Kitade's technique of shrinking the earth directly gave up the best hitting position, assisting Echizen Ryuga to fight back.
Even though I have never played against this mysterious number 4 who suddenly appeared in the U-17 training camp,
However, just seeing his opponents, Henri Noble III and Peter Lambiel of the Swiss team,
Once Echizen Ryuga catches the ball and hits it back,
It was as if being erased bit by bit, and the unique skills that he was so proud of—he couldn't use them at all!
"...Such an ability, such a negative effect."
Kimute Nagashiro adjusted his glasses, his peripheral vision unconsciously shifted to the other side.
The dark-haired figure sitting in the referee's seat, not caring about anything,
Kei Yagi.
The answer seems to have come to light.
I really didn't expect this.
There are actually two geniuses with this ability!
At the same time that Bokuto Nagashiro sensed it,
What is even more profound is the opponent standing opposite Echizen Ryuga.
Henry Noble III, who received the most balls,
He didn't understand why Alexander Amadeus would start over, even starting with the way he held the racket.
However, when Echizen Ryuga's passive skill ['Deprivation & Devouring'] is rewarded to him,
Like a sudden enlightenment, or a flash of inspiration,
All the fear, panic, confusion, and loss are completely cleared away.
In an instant, I knew what Alexander Amadeus was going through.
What spreads along with it is endless fear.
"No, no—absolutely not!"
'He can't lose—his tennis ball!'
"Haha, don't worry~"
The corners of Echizen Ryoma's mouth curled up into a playful yet ordinary smile, and in his eyes he reflected the face of Henry Nobel III, who looked a little hideous due to excessive fear.
"My words—but my methods are much gentler than that of the head coach."
"It's just the way you hold the racket, at least I'll leave it to you~"
“Beep!”
"The final score—6:0!"
"JAPAN VS SWITZERLAND! D2 Doubles 2—"
"JAPAN WIN!!"
Finished the job perfectly, with a crushing momentum.
Echizen Ryuga and Kite Nagashiro won their first match against the Swiss team.
He smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left the court behind the two people.
It was the Swiss team player Henry Noble 30, Peter Lambiel, who was lying on the ground.
And the destroyed stadium.
The stretcher quickly entered the scene, always ready,
Carried Henry and Lambier out of the fallen
Alexander Amadeus followed and, under the watchful eyes of the gathered Swiss team members, examined the two men.
“…It hasn’t reached that point yet.”
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Alexander Amadeus lowered his eyes, "But Henry and Lambiel have been stripped of their skills."
My heart, which was half relieved, suddenly became tense and unusually tense.
"...Do all the guys on the Japanese team have that kind of ability?!"
"But this is too unfair!"
"But we can't gamble at all—"
There were many chattering and confusion.
Alexander Amadeus put Henry and Lambiel down, then stood up, turned his head, and his eyes fell on Yagi Kei in the coaching seat.
“…We’re on it,”
Calm and solemn, Albert Federer and Randy Pugu took a step forward and looked at each other.
He glanced at Alexander Amadeus, then at Henry Nobel III and Peter Lambiel lying on a stretcher,
"We'll find out if everyone on the Japanese team has the ability after one match!"
These two people stood up, and the others slowly calmed down a little.
No one, whether it is Albert Federer or Randy Pugu,
They are not players who rely on skills or tricks.
A power-type player who relies entirely on his own body, a type that is rooted firmly and thoroughly,
This is a strength that cannot be taken away no matter what.
“…Go ahead.”
Alexander Amadeus saw them take to the pitch,
“——”
"JAPAN VS SWITZERLAND——D1 Doubles One,"
"Albert Federer (Switzerland), Randy Pugu (Switzerland) VS Kunimitsu Tezuka (Japan), Ryoma Echizen (Japan)!"
——The players on both sides are officially on stage!
Likewise, with the doubles 2 combination,
Echizen Ryuga and Kide Nagashiro agreed before going on stage.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma also came to the coaching booth before the game.
Jibaimao - From immersive fishing to immersive barbecue!
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”
The grease, sizzling with roasting,
It overflowed from the fat fish body. Although I tried my best to ignore it, it was uncontrollable.
Echizen Ryoma's eyes drifted slowly, drifted,
Tezuka Kunimitsu's glasses reflected the light, and he reached out and pushed the bridge of his nose.
"——Don't be careless!"
"Hey, you stole the head coach's line!!"
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma were faster than each other, and they ran straight to the court with their rackets.
He looked as if he was afraid that if he was a step late, he would be forced to stay and be attacked by the grilled fish.
“…”
“…coming up.”
The last row of the audience,
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
E. Seyfried was startled and turned to look at the source of the sound.
It was Jurgen Barisavich Volker,
Noticing E. Seyfried's gaze, Walker did not turn back.
After two days of rest, Q.P's complexion, demeanor, and spirit had improved somewhat and he was finally able to speak calmly.
"Tezuka Kunimitsu is a player that Walker had invited before,"
This time not only E. Seyfried, but also M. Bismarck looked over.
"Oh? Is this the player Walker also has his eyes on?"
"Then why didn't you come to Germany? Were you rejected, Volker?"
The two German professional players who returned to the team, Tankumaru Schneider and Berti B. Bulku,
"Yes, he refused."
Q.P., holding a file board, also watched the players on the field.
Tezuka Kunimitsu,
Reason for rejection...
It was not clear at that time, they respected the players' own wishes,
In addition, the German national team, which is ranked No.1 in the U-17 world rankings,
There is no shortage of talent.
But now it seems that the reason why Tezuka Kunimitsu rejected the invitation of the German team and chose to stay in China is...
Even though he had been patient, Q.P couldn't help but turn his gaze to the U-17 Japanese national team coaching booth.
The only black-haired boy sitting there—
Kei Yagi,
Because of him,
“——”
As soon as they stepped onto the court, the two members of the Swiss team, Albert Federer and Randy Pugu, were full of energy.
The two muscular brothers burst their clothes right on the spot and gave it their all——!
Compare it to the network,
The short and slender Echizen Ryoma and the slender Tezuka Kunimitsu who does not look like a power player,
I was immediately overwhelmed by the power of the heavy texture of the flesh.
For a moment, the distinction was clear.
The U-17 group didn't know the inside story, but whether it was Seigaku, Hyotei, or even Rikkai University, the junior high school students around Tokyo who had had contact with Seigaku,
Looking at the two people standing on the court in front of me, I felt a lot of emotions in my heart.
"...I never thought I'd see Tezuka and Tsubasa playing doubles together on the court..."
"Yeah yeah……"
"What is this... a meeting of the two pillars of Seigaku?"
"Hey, if you put it that way..."
"——The previous pillar was also sitting here!"
Yamato Yudai was looking at this rare scene with some satisfaction and emotion, but was suddenly cueed at a loss.
Welcome everyone's attention,
"W-What happened?"
“…”
“…”
The sight wandered, and finally gathered, as if thinking about something.
"—Why can't there be a triple in tennis?"
"...Three pillars? Haha, that's interesting."
These rumors naturally did not reach the ears of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma who were standing on the court.
What they both have in common is that they are completely focused before important matters.
The doubles player of the Swiss team,
Albert Federer and Randy Pugu,
The oppression brought by the muscular brother,
But——after going through the life-threatening training in the hell of cats and dogs,
Just a person with muscles - after all, no different from a skeleton with muscles.
"—Let's get going, Echizen."
"oh!"
The two pillars of Qingxue have a clear division of labor.
Albert Federer, who was playing experimentally, hit the serve directly and powerfully.
The yellow ball was like a cannonball, sweeping across the net with unstoppable force towards Echizen Ryoma.
The cyclone spun around, and the yellow cannonball that was heading straight for Echizen Ryoma was suddenly pulled by an extremely strong gravitational force, suddenly changing direction, struggling but completely uncontrollably flying to the other side.
It's Tezuka Kunimitsu!
"——It appears! Tezuka's territory!"
In the audience, the first-year students of Seigaku who had come from afar to support the event shouted with emotion,
"Wow, I never thought that this day would finally come—that I could see Prince Ryoma and Minister Tezuka fighting side by side!"
Tomoka Kosakata was moved to tears, and Ryuzaki Sakuno, who was sitting next to her, also slowly covered her mouth.
"Ryoma..."
The scene where Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma appear together,
Everyone in Qingxue witnessed, witnessed, and felt deeply moved.
“…I never thought that this day would come.”
"Wow, little one, and Minister Tezuka..."
“Go ahead! Echizen—!”
"Come on! Chief Tezuka!!"
All of a sudden, the cheers from the audience seats near the stadium became louder.
The audience, not knowing what was going on, also followed the momentum and shouted.
The audience especially loves the dark horse show.
The U-17 Japanese national team, ranked only 23rd in the world, has been making great strides.
The challenged team, the world's second-ranked U-17 Swiss team,
Rebellion against superiors is the exciting point of the world's consensus!
Although the home and away momentum had been somewhat affected from the beginning, it was unexpected that by now, it was completely weighed down on the Swiss team.
Albert Federer and Randy Pugu have strong psychological resilience and are not psychologically depressed by the pressure of playing away games.
——But that’s all!
Because what they are suffering now is even more terrifying and more dangerous - complete power suppression.
There are no strong muscles, no explosive body, no appearance that is extremely terrifying at first glance.
What there is is a devastating demolition force that is extremely inconsistent with those two bodies!
——It's a complete demolition team,
I've never seen a team like this.
Before going on stage, he was still confirming the "Deprivation & Devouring" ability of the Japanese players to Alexander Amadeus and other players of the Swiss team.
A confirmation came down,
"Deprivation & Devouring" failed to appear,
The consistent "high damage to the enemy and the field" - finally discovered!
"Could it be that... these guys on the Japanese team are all excavators?"
"No, at this level, an excavator isn't going to be enough..."
Silence spread as I tried to collect data on the strength of the Japanese team.
It's okay if you don't notice it.
Once you notice it, you can't ignore it at all.
From the U-17 warm-up exhibition match, to the first match of Group B of the U-17 World Cup against Greece, the second match against Australia, and now - against Switzerland,
Player injuries are part of it.
What’s more important and causes more injuries is the competition venue!
There is no match that ends with the venue still intact and ready for use next time after repair.
——All scrapped!
As long as the venue does not collapse, the destructive power is low.
And the beginning of it all——
All eyes converged,
Stopped at the U-17 Japan national team coaching bench,
Black-haired boy,
Kei Yagi.
The source of destruction,
The destruction of the site and the start of demolition... was caused by this guy!
The culprit was immediately revealed.
Suddenly, he stopped talking and shouting.
All of them were left with nothing but helplessness after being shocked by the cat-breaking chicken.
Also helpless were Albert Federer and Randy Pugu on the court.
They are mainly based on strength, relying on their outstanding physical strength.
It can almost be said that the power items on the five-dimensional diagram have been completely maxed out—a peak is about to pop out!
But even this is completely powerless,
Because they were facing a warrior whose five-dimensional chart had been fully filled and whose numerical balance was perfect—
Perfect Pentagon Superman Double!
——Echizen Ryoma and Tezuka Kunimitsu!
If we just compare strength, this level is not even as strong as Yagi Kei's alone!
Make a quick judgment in your heart, whether it is Albert Federer's heavy artillery attack or Randy Pugu's explosive bombardment,
All of them were "Tezuka's domain"——
etc,
No, how could there be two "Tezuka Domains"?!
Then take another look.
It was Kunimitsu Tezuka and Ryoma Echizen who opened the exact same "Tezuka Domain"!
The ball, which was extremely dangerous and heavy from the moment it was shot, fell into the affected area.
Totally swaying left and right, losing the oppression,
Echizen Ryoma, who won the ball,
He raised his eyes from under the brim of his hat, tilted his eyes upwards, and looked at his opponent on the other side of the net, who was gradually losing breath and his physical strength was greatly depleted.
Racket exhibition——
"Compared to that guy—"
“You have still lots more to work on!”
