Player: “…?”
No, the player hasn't clicked yet?
What happened!?
The bewildered player dealt with the situation, looked around, and looked towards the NPC gathering point not far away, only to discover—
In front of the special NPC, surprisingly, there is a second player!!
silence,
This is... a stolen house?
Just a joke, the player’s home was stolen.
As he walked closer, the special NPC had already picked up his racket and was ready to enter battle mode. Across from him, Yagi Kei, with a stern face and dead eyes, calmly but with all his might, cast a pleading look at the Rikkai public outside the court.
The Rikkai public fell into an eerie silence: ...
Hmm, how should I describe this situation?
It seems not good to say it, but...
Only Niou Masaharu, who is now standing on the tennis court cosplaying as Yagi Kei, knows the ups and downs along the way.
Facing the gaze of Yukimura on the other side of the net, and the gaze of the Rikkai public around the court,
Under the gazes of the other club members and the headmaster who were all concentrating on Yagi Kei's fight for the station,
For the first time, Niou Masaharu felt his scalp tingling.
After carefully looking around to make sure there were no other club members or club leaders around, Marui Bunta whispered to those in the know:
"Are we really not going to rescue them?"
Jack Sangyuan said slowly: "In this situation, no matter how you look at it... it's difficult to take action."
Marui Bunta: "Then let's watch Jin... ahem, Yagi then face Yukimura?"
Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses and said, "At this point, I can only choose to believe it."
“——This isn’t a matter of belief or disbelief!!”
Marui couldn't control his voice for a moment, which immediately attracted the attention of others.
For example, Sanada and Yanagi were still unaware that Yagi Kei had not returned with them.
Sanada frowned slightly, looking at Marui, whose face was strange and black and white. Yanagi also noticed it and said,
"What's wrong, Marui?"
Just in case Marui lost control and spilled the truth, Jack Kuwahara took a big step forward and said, "No, it's nothing—everyone, just watch the game!"
Sanada: "..."
willow:"……"
Sanada: "What the hell happened!"
The most reliable Yagyu Hiroshi filled in the blank calmly, "Nothing, it's just that Marui-kun is a little constipated today."
Marui Fumita was bewildered: "Me? Constipated?"
Urgently receiving the gazes from the left and right, Marui slowly admitted his mistake: "Yes, I am constipated... constipated."
In order to pretend to be more realistic, Marui even struggled to hold his stomach and buttocks and cried out "Ouch, ouch".
Sanada and Yanagi looked at each other. Although they felt something was wrong, they could not find any more evidence.
Moreover, the battle that is about to take place on the field is what attracts their attention more.
The two of them turned their heads away at the same time, leaving behind Marui Fumita, who was clutching his stomach and yelling "Ouch, ouch!", and then he glanced cautiously at the group that knew about it.
The three people's expressions became increasingly serious.
"...Is this the only way?"
"At the moment, it seems there is no other way."
"unless……"
"unless?"
Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara looked at it together, and Yagyu Hiroshi, who murmured "unless", revealed the final answer.
"Unless, Yagi-kun, appears before us right now."
“…”
“………”
"Then it's more practical to figure out how to rescue Niou."
Marui and Kuwahara gave up, but Yagyu didn't.
Suddenly, a flash of light passed by, and it seemed as if someone's eyes were passing through the place where they were. Yagyu shuddered, and as if he had noticed something, he followed his intuition to follow the direction -
On top of a wooden barrel not far away, there seemed to be a figure standing for a long time.
Liu Sheng adjusted his glasses, his thoughts racing.
Could it be... that he is——
“——Charge, Yagi!!”
"——Come on, Minister Yukimura!!"
"Defeat him! We believe in you!!"
"Revenge for us, Minister Yukimura!!"
The sudden cheers that reached the sky interrupted Yagyu Hiroshi's thoughts. He turned around and saw that the entire stadium was filled with people.
The combined team of members from other clubs that had been conducting the tennis club's offensive and defensive battles was fine, but the fallen members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club and other club members also seemed to be inspired by something.
All of them struggled and twisted to get up from the ground, crawled over with their hands and feet together, grabbed the net and shouted with their last bit of strength,
"Go! Captain Yukimura—let's restore the reputation of our Rikkai University Tennis Club!"
"Go! Yagi-san—become the leader of our Rikkai University's eighteen clubs!"
Holding the tennis ball in his hand, Kei Yagi (Niou Masaharu version) struggled to delay until he could no longer, but he almost stumbled and made a serve error.
Hey, hey, no, just fighting Yukimura was enough to kill him, and now he has to go on to become the 'head of Rikkai University's 18 clubs'.
This is too terrible...
"Um, what does 'the head of Rikkai University's eighteen clubs' mean?" Kirihara Akaya was confused and scratched his head, still confused.
Sanada and Yanagi, who came back late, naturally didn't know about it. Marui Bunta/Jack Kuwabara/Yagyu Hiroshi, who knew the inside story: "..."
His eyes wandered, and Marui managed to say, "Probably..."
"...Because Keina's reputation as a genius is so great, and because he took advantage of everyone's inattention during the finals cram school period to speedrun and challenged Rikkai University's conservative eighteen clubs."
His voice gradually faded. "So these guys formed the 'Eighteen Alliance' and demanded that we return Yagi Kei and their leader to them..."
At first, Sanada and Yanagi were listening attentively, but as they listened, they felt like something was wrong.
After listening carefully again, they both fell into an unspeakable silence.
After understanding this, looking back at the just-concluded Rikkai University Defense War, Kirihara Akaya said with difficulty: "Then they are, they are really persistent..."
It is unlikely to hand over the junior so easily. After all, he is still a regular member of the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
The Kanto Tournament is just around the corner, how can you lose one of my generals at this moment!
"But they didn't say that members of the tennis club can't be our captains!"
"--Yeah yeah!"
"——And he's also the general director of the unified joint department of our eighteen societies!"
"That's right! The minister among ministers! The minister of the ministry!"
After hearing this, everyone at Rikkai was left in silence.
So familiar... so familiar that I feel like I've heard it from someone before...
When their thoughts collided, they looked at each other.
—Isn't this what Yagi Kei proposed? —He! Wants to be the president of Rikkai University?!
Unite all the forces you can, become the head of the eighteen clubs, and then lead the army to attack the principal's office...
Finally, he succeeded in becoming the president of Rikkai University. The cat took over the human nest.
The scene of a jerk shaking a 1982 red wine glass, crossing his legs and turning around from his chair in the principal's office... Stop thinking! Stop thinking! Stop imagining it!
Negotiate once, twice, three times... the final result of the negotiation will be determined by the winner of this game!
The Kei Yagi and Masaharu Niou version standing on the field: I dare not speak.
While watching Yukimura handling the Eighteen Clubs with ease and a smile on his face, he finally decided that if he defeated Yagi Kei, he would let Yagi Kei become the head of the Eighteen Clubs.
If he loses, then Kei Yagi will have to lead everyone as the captain of Rikkai University's tennis club to continue their 16-game winning streak in the Kanto Tournament and even win the national championship for the third time in a row.
As soon as Yukimura Seiichi said this, everyone's expression became tense and tense, even Niou Masaharu, who was supposed to be his opponent on the other side of the net, was a little nervous.
Sanada and Yanagi couldn't help but lean forward and said, "Yukimura!"
Yukimura just smiled and reassured everyone, "It's okay, everyone."
The coat he draped over his shoulders fluttered without a breeze, and his aura was fully revealed, filled with the domineering aura that had been accumulated for a long time.
The moment he picked up the racket and stood there, he seemed to be the center of the court - the focus of everyone's attention!
Although Yukimura has shown a strong attitude and aura, Sanada and Yanagi are not at all relieved.
Not to mention Yukimura's recent recovery from surgery, just the strength of Yagi Kei... that unfathomable abyss and endless feeling. Even just witnessing his fighting style, just standing opposite him, can't help but give rise to an irresistible despair...
"Jingshi..."
The atmosphere on the court was solemn.
Despite the solemnity, Yukimura still picked up the racket with interest. He raised his arm, without disdain or contempt, and directly pulled the coat off his shoulders and placed it on the coach's chair on the side of the court.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and when he looked up again, he was already focused on the younger junior who was standing silently across the net.
Yukimura had long been accustomed to the other party's attitude, and could even joke a few words, "Well, after all this time, you still don't like to talk?"
"But it's not a problem."
Yukimura Seiichi picked up his racket and walked back to the court. "During the surgery, the doctors said they had never seen a 100% cure rate for Guillain-Barré syndrome."
“But this miracle happened to me.”
Yukimura Seiichi smiled and said, "Although I don't know how you did it, Yagi, but whether it was during that time or now, I am really grateful. If it weren't for you..."
He thought of his biceps, which people would inevitably look at whenever he met them, and smiled helplessly.
"Maybe I won't be able to become so healthy, finish rehabilitation so quickly, and return to my peak condition."
"——It is my wish to continue Rikkai's 16 points and 3 assists and stand on this court with everyone."
Yukimura Seiichi: "I want to thank you."
He smiled: "Well... Ever since I first heard about you in the hospital, I thought this day would come. I didn't expect it to come so soon."
"So—let's take this opportunity to have a good fight."
"Jingshi——"
"Wuwu…Bushi Yukimura!"
"Yukimura..."
Everyone in Rikkai was moved after hearing Yukimura's monologue. Some, like Kirihara Akaya, were already weeping and wiping their face hard.
Even Sanada, who is usually the most serious, was moved, and his dark face turned a little red.
The same is true for Niou Masaharu.
But, that was Niou Masaharu.
And now, he is Kei Yagi.
The soul of COS is that it must not be OOC,
With amazing willpower, facing the gazes of people all over the mountain, Niou Masaharu used all his strength to control the corners of his mouth. He pinched his palms tightly and kept repeating to himself, "Hold on, absolutely hold on!"
If you can't hold on here, you will definitely fail! !
He still needs to maintain his reputation as the 'cheater on the court'!
The whole scene turned into Yukimura telling his true feelings earnestly, and everyone was listening attentively.
As for Niou Masaharu, he was moved while listening, but then he remembered his own identity, and his eyes became dead, and then he was moved again, and then his eyes became dead, and then he was moved again...
Of course, there are also Marui, Kuwabara, and Yagyu who are moved and miss their teammates on the same front.
They watched helplessly as Yagi Kei's Nioh version's expression moved left and right, and even twitched a little. It looked... completely like a monster.
However, since it was 'Yagi Kei' who behaved so devilishly, the others who didn't understand what was going on accepted it very well.
After all... if it's him, then it seems like whatever he does is normal!
Of course, this category also includes Yukimura who is facing the net from a first-person perspective.
Although he didn't expect any excessive reaction from the opponent, Yukimura couldn't help but tighten the racket in his hand because he didn't expect to receive such a distorted and hideous expression.
For a moment, some memories of the dead 'Go On' and the dead fish eyes that appeared in the corner of the wire fence on the top floor of the hospital at midnight began to attack him.
Oh, much... Junior, he wouldn't suddenly A up and let him continue chatting with him for hours, right?
The more Yukimura thought about it, the more difficult it became, and the smile that was as refreshing as spring breeze on the corner of his lips gradually became stiff.
The stiff Yukimura versus the stiff Yagi Kei Niou version, and even the stiff Marui/Kuwabara/Yagyu outside the arena,
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire stadium became subtle and strange.
They were in a stalemate, and the others who didn't know what was going on started to urge them forward.
"……what happens?"
"I don't know...why haven't you fought yet?"
"Bullmaster Yukimura—keep going!!"
"Yagi-kun is the one—charge!!"
Niou Masaharu felt the racket in his hand become extremely hot and was pushed to the edge of the cliff.
I can't help but hope that a certain missing mushroom head can appear quickly, preferably appear in front of me.
However, Niou Masaharu's voice was destined to remain unheard.
Yukimura raised his racket and signaled that he could serve. The cheers from both sides reached their peak.
Even he——at this time, he couldn't escape unscathed!
'Phantom' - activate!
Yagi Kei started with a familiar stance, throwing the ball, bending his knees, and swinging his racket—his movements were precise, a textbook standard serve.
"Bang!"
The yellow ball quickly flew out of the landing point, and Yukimura had already taken a few steps to follow the landing point and hit it back.
Yagi Kei kept a stern face and moved quickly left and right to try to score a goal.
However, Yukimura, having freed himself from Guillain-Barré syndrome, had even improved his physical condition to a level far beyond what the Rikkai public had previously imagined.
Now he is already Ji Yukimura!
The results of your practice—show them at this moment!
Smiling, he held the racket in his hand and faced the yellow tennis ball flying towards him from the other side of the net. Yukimura Seiichi's face was normal as usual. He hit the ball with a backhand grip and hit it back steadily.
"...So slow," Marui muttered outside the net, "Such a slow swing speed, absolutely cannot..."
"No, I'm not slow!"
Jack Sangyuan's eyes widened, "It's our eyes that can't keep up!"
"Bang!"
In the moment of sudden change from slow to fast, the racket penetrated time and space directly in the naked eye and hit the tennis ball that had not even reached the front.
"...Super-predictive counterattack,"
As the sound of willow fell, the yellow ball brushed past the side of the foot of the stopped mushroom-headed figure, leaving a deep ball mark.
"15, 15:0!" The referee was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and shouted,
The whole place was dead silent.
All eyes were focused on Yukimura who scored and Yagi Kei who lost.
Unexpectedly,
No one thought that Yukimura Seiichi would become so strong, so strong that he announced to everyone that he had returned with just one goal.
No one would have thought that the invincible Kei Yagi would lose the first ball of his serve.
The two facts collided so dramatically that everyone was at a loss as to how to express themselves.
Celebrating Yukimura's return is undoubtedly another way of magnifying Yagi Kei's loss of points.
Rikkai University Minister VS Rikkai University Acting Minister - referred to as the Rikkai University Minister Recapture Battle,
The first game, in such a tragic and ostentatious way, tells the story of the power struggle...
The player silently looked at the player base camp that had been occupied by the cat's nest.
Isn't it just that I followed the wrong NPC?!
Why! Why would you snatch away the special BOSS that players want to kill!
The player tried to join the battle, but because the battle was only 1V1, the system automatically rejected the player's invitation to join.
Damn it, the players won't give in!
The player's BOSS——No one can take it away!!
Just as Yukimura was about to say something, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if something was staring at him darkly.
“…Is it because I took off my coat…?”
Thoughts flowed through his mind quickly, and Yukimura's attention immediately shifted to the younger generation on the other side of the net.
Although that shot was the result of his training, rehabilitation, deepening, and continuous evolution, Yagi Kei's serve...
Yukimura raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Yagi Kei who was silent with a pair of dead eyes.
Something is wrong.
Niou Masaharu, who had vaguely sensed that Yukimura on the other side of the net seemed to have found some clues, was in great pain.
He even thought in a self-deprecating way, why not Yukimura find out!
Anyway, Keina wouldn't show up right away. Maybe Yukimura could help him smooth things over after he finds out...
Thinking this, Niou Masaharu, adhering to the principle of not being OOC, raised his head without complaint.
Once I raised my head, I never lowered it again.
……no,
Whose tennis club has a person in the sky? ! !
At this moment, Niou Masaharu's bewilderment, confusion, incomprehension, and trance were magnified to the maximum, so much so that Yukimura, who was facing him on the other side of the net, shuddered all over when he saw the overly anthropomorphic expression on the junior's face.
Although I really want my junior to look more like a human... but suddenly he looks so much like a human, the uncanny valley effect is at its peak.
It was difficult to understand Yukimura's complicated feelings at the moment, as Niou Masaharu's eyes were fixed in mid-air.
——In the air, there was a very familiar figure! !
Attracted by the pause of Yagi Kei on the court, the Rikkai public outside the court couldn't help but look up.
All eyes were fixed on her.
Damn it!
There’s a person hanging in the sky!!
What's more, for example, Yanagi Renji, whose vision is far better than 5.0, looked up and his narrowed eyes suddenly opened wide.
"That, that is!"
When the crowd, who were confused and could only barely see a figure, heard the sound, Liu's expression changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Kirihara Aka was also puzzled: "Senior Liu, what on earth did you see?"
Yanagi Renji didn't say anything, and Sanada Genichirō followed closely to look. The moment he saw clearly, Sanada's forehead was bulging with veins.
Neither of them spoke, leaving the Rikkai University students staring at each other in bewilderment.
"...No, what on earth is that?"
"I don't know, it looks like a person... but that's impossible, hanging in the sky..."
Kirihara Akaya suggested, "So it's a human-shaped kite?"
Marui Bunta said slowly: "But whose kite... can be so flexible..."
Not only can you jump up and down, but you can also jump left and right, and even forward and backward with full WASD flexibility.
Now everyone was caught in a state of confusion, both by the difficult situation and by the completely unexpected sudden events.
People, in chaos.
But the cat is always awake!
Ninety degrees is a right angle, but eighty-nine degrees is a slope. The anti-disturbance zone deployed during special boss battles is actually a protective shield that is inverted on the ground.
Players have been struggling with the protection mechanism for a long time, rubbing here and there, and finally - they successfully stepped on the air stairs and went up to the sky.
Appeared in front of all NPCs!
Silence is today's Rikkai University.
But silence has never been a player!
Niou Masaharu already felt his brain was saying goodbye to him while he was wandering away. Yukimura on the other side was certainly not in a better state.
After all, the fact that Yagi Kei is anthropomorphic is terrifying just to think about it, not to mention the other things.
But for now, let's put this aside for now. What on earth could have attracted the attention of the junior so much and made him do something so contrary to common sense?
Yukimura also raised his head slightly uncontrollably, his upward gaze seemed to have caught something from his peripheral vision and premonition, causing him to pause there for a moment, unable to move forward or downward.
But the very next moment, Yukimura crossed the unknown, and he bravely raised his head—
Looking at Yukimura,
It was a player in mid-air, desperately trying to drill into the protective barrier.
Of course, players are still using imitation,
so,
Yukimura successfully fought against Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was twisting and pressing down so hard that his whole face showed an exaggerated smile.
Their eyes met.
“…”
“………”
'Snap.'
The tennis racket that should have been held tightly in his hand was hit by a huge impact without any preparation and fell heavily to the ground.
Dead silence,
The silence was spreading.
Slowly, someone struggled to ask,
“…”
"... Can hallucinations occur in broad daylight?"
