"It's no fun to be alone, so now we have to form teams of two, high school students and junior high school students can form their own teams!"
Xingyan stood on the tennis court. It was already the third day of training.
In the past two days, he had only been playing one-on-one coaching games with these people, and today it was time to get down to business.
"Double?"
Yukimura Seiichi looked around. Was he looking for high school students to form a doubles team?
Perhaps, this is the lineup that will be needed in future games.
If that was the case, then he knew what to do.
"Tanejima-senpai, come on stage with me!"
Looking at Shuji Tanejima who was watching from the sidelines every night, Yukimura was sure that this guy was the perfect person to team up with in doubles.
However, he thought this was a good idea, but found that after he said this, all the high school students looked at him blankly, and then burst into laughter.
...
...
"No, I can't stand opposite the little one. Yukimura-kun, you should find someone else. They are all capable."
Shuji Tanejima scratched his hair helplessly. He never expected that he would be chosen.
Don’t these middle school students realize that he never plays practice games with Xingyan?
"Why? Why can't I stand opposite Xingyan?"
It's not that Yukimura Seiichi cannot accept being rejected, but he is just curious why Tanejima Shuji is the only exception.
"The reason is... because my tennis ball can be destroyed by a little guy."
With a sad look in his eyes and a sigh, Shuji Tanejima's explanation stunned everyone.
In addition to Xingyan...
“You can choose not to…”
Xingyan cooperated helplessly and said that there was no need to come out so as not to worry about it being destroyed.
However, he himself didn't know when he had added too many labels that would ruin his playing skills. Isn't that something that Ryuga Echizen would do?
When Shuji Tanejima went to challenge Ryuga Echizen, he told him in advance that if 'Nothing' was swallowed up, he would need to reawaken it for him.
This guy dares to say anything when making up excuses. Could it be that because I did it so smoothly, I led him astray?
"That won't work. If you don't use your skills, then what's the point of playing..."
Shuji Tanejima glared at Xingyan and he knew that this kid would not cooperate.
However, he would not play, he just would not play, no matter what!
"Yukimura-senpai, let's change someone else. His 'Nothing' can't fight me."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xing Yan couldn't say anything else.
As for wanting to form a team with Shuji Tanejima, that’s not impossible, but the opponent he faces cannot be himself.
"I'll do it."
Byodoin Phoenix stood up directly from the rest area and walked into the venue without waiting for Yukimura's consent.
He also found it strange that someone chose Shima Shuji from the beginning.
This guy hasn't been on the court for a few days. He seems to be a smart guy, so how could he not think of this?
Maybe, it was intentional.
“Good luck to you!”
Shuji Tanejima simply lay down and watched the game. As long as he was not allowed to play, everything else was fine.
“Let’s get started!”
Xing Yan had no objection to the combination of these two people. Anyway, they would need to change the teams and make various attempts in the future, so anyone could partner with anyone.
A new practice match mode was opened, and Xingyan fought against many opponents in the training base one match after another, allowing them to become familiar with each other's abilities.
On the mountain, those members of the failed group are also working hard to grow, waiting for the day when they can fight back again.
As time passed, Xingyan made some new discoveries about tennis during his daily practice with these people, and gradually integrated them into his own skills.
When the group of people on the mountain came back, they, dressed in black, directly challenged Course No. 2.
However, they found that Court No. 2 was meaningless, and soon they all rushed to Court No. 1.
As there were more people, Xing Yan began to sort them.
There are strength list, diligence list, junior high school students and high school students ranked separately.
As soon as the rankings were released, both training and various competitions quickly became lively.
Even if there is no reward, they still don't want to fall behind.
Half a month before the start of the U17 World Cup, Xingyan asked for leave and left the training base alone.
.........
"You little brat, this place is even more shabby than a temple."
Echizen Nanjiro walked up the mountain carrying a tennis racket, looked at Xingyan who was lying on the ground to rest, and said with a look of disdain, "This shabby place is really not that great."
"We need an open space. After all, we don't know whether we can keep the area intact."
Xingyan jumped up and stood up, shaking the racket in his hand. When he looked at Echizen Nanjiro, there was a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.
He finally waited for the time to officially challenge Echizen Nanjiro.
This time, he must win!
"That makes sense. I just want me to do my best. You have to be careful too."
Echizen Nanjiro scratched his hair. Although he looked much more serious, he still didn't think Xingyan could succeed.
"This time we'll make it more formal, and we'll follow a best-of-five format."
Xingyan thought about it and decided to use this competition system.
Because this may be his last match with Uncle Nanjiro...
"Okay, it seems you are serious!"
Echizen Nanjiro was stunned for a moment, and then his aura changed.
This time, he was facing an opponent seriously.
"Uncle Nanjiro, as usual, you serve first."
Xing Yan, who had long given up hope of getting ahead, completely gave up on this step.
Walking to the side of the court, he waited for Uncle Nanjiro to start the game.
"Xingyan, watch out!"
The tennis ball in his hand was thrown up, and as Echizen Nanjiro swung the racket, a layer of mist-like waves appeared on his body.
The result of releasing mental power and then converging around oneself.
"This is the warrior I expected!"
Xingyan took a step forward, swung his racket and hit the ball back.
Seeing Echizen Nanjiro finally showing his true self, his heart was also excited.
Now that he was finally serious, there was no need for him to continue controlling her.
Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, Du Men, Open!
The fifth gate was opened, which was already the strongest mode of the Eight Gates in this world. Gates after the sixth were all sealed. It was not a question of whether Xingyan wanted to open them or not, but a safety protection mechanism that existed in this world.
At first he was curious, after all he had even used Susanoo...
Later the system explained that the Eight Gates Ninjutsu is not a tennis skill, but a real improvement in all attributes.
This is different from the concept of Susanoo being transformed into an alternate dimension. These are two completely different power modes and naturally cannot be discussed in the same breath.
