"I'm definitely going to Hyotei. Is my dad right next to me?"
Xingyan listened to the voice on the phone and was sure that he was not mistaken, there was someone else next to Atobe.
"The consultant is signing your formal challenge..."
Atobe Keigo looked back and unceremoniously gave the consultant away.
He and Xingyan met in the UK. When he first arrived at Bingdi, he didn't know the relationship between the consultant and Xingyan.
It was not until later in the office when I saw the photo of the father and son on the consultant's desk that I realized that the noisy boy actually had such a strict father.
Later, when I called Xingyan, I would often mention Consultant Sakaki.
"I haven't played a tennis match in a long time. I've been resting for more than a year. When will my dad get off work? I have an appointment with Uncle Saito and Uncle Kurobe. Tell him to come back early."
Xingyan didn't say any more nonsense and hung up the phone after asking Jibe to pass on the message.
Ever since he insisted on going abroad to play tennis three years ago and had a big fight with his father, the father and son haven't had a good chat for a long time.
...
...
It turns out that I was spoiled too much, so I was too willful and self-centered at that time...
You could have started in a gentle way, but you chose the most inappropriate one.
"This is also my first time being someone's son. I don't know what to do, so I'll just work hard to repair it."
After jumping down from the **, Xingyan went to pack the luggage he had brought back.
After packing up, he went downstairs and looked at the busy housekeeper and servants. Then he came to the tennis court at home alone.
Pick up a tennis ball, take out a standard racket, try the feel of it, and then practice hitting the ball against the wall.
During the few years he was away, he met Keigo Atobe in England.
Although he deliberately made this acquaintance, because he had a bad relationship with his father at that time, he needed someone who could bring him news.
Later, when Atobe returned to China and went to Hyotei, he told him a lot about the Hyotei tennis club, which naturally included his role as a coach.
Later, when I was playing in the points tournament at the US Open, I met a man named Ryuga Echizen outside of the game.
Although he didn't ask, the guy's name and the iconic Echizen Nanjiro version of the outspin serve made him sure of the relationship between that guy and Echizen Ryoma.
Of course, the system was very considerate in assigning him the task, and one match with that guy earned him 5,000 points.
Unfortunately, I could only swipe it once. Later, when I wanted to find that guy to play tennis again, he was gone.
As for the outcome of that game...
He won, but it was a pyrrhic victory.
This was the first time he felt an absolutely powerful threat in this world.
If my physical fitness was not what the system calls an excellent starting point, I would probably have been exhausted that time.
Before returning home this time, he also met a bearded uncle with blond hair and a headband.
But, that guy said he was in high school...
Anyway, I don’t know if it’s true.
He had a fight with the guy in a club near the airport.
Byodoin Phoenix, the second opponent that made him feel strong.
However, he was slightly easier to deal with than Echizen Ryuga. Of course, the achievement points he earned from this battle were more than 500 less than Echizen Ryuga.
Although the system had not given any information about this special person who could get points for each game, he had already guessed the reason.
There is definitely a sequel, but for some reason, the system has not yet passed that part of the plot to him.
"Xingyan, long time no see, you've grown so tall!"
After practicing batting for more than half an hour, a figure pounced on me from behind.
Fortunately, Xing Yan was still able to tell who it was from the voice, and while dodging, he did not forget to reach out and grab the person.
"Be careful..."
Seeing the frightened expression on Jiro Akutagawa's face, Xingyan let go of his hand and let him stand still, his eyes full of helplessness.
This guy's habit of jumping on me whenever I meet him hasn't changed at all even after three years of not seeing him.
"Xingyan, Xingyan, how come you've grown so tall? You're taller than me. Yueren, come and see. Xingyan is so tall now..."
Akutagawa Jiro was stunned for just a moment, then raised his hands again, grabbed his shoulders and started circling around to compare heights.
"Hey, hey, hey, Jiro, you'd better not bring up this topic, or I'll really hit you!"
Mukai Taketo is the shortest now, only 158cm tall. He stared at Xingyan, hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward and pulled Akutagawa Jiro off Xingyan's arm.
"I say, can you two calm down a bit? We are all still here!"
Shishido Ryo looked up at the sky in silence. He knew that these two unreliable guys would definitely cause trouble when they met people.
However, the boy has indeed grown taller, and he really is worthy of being the guy who was said to be able to carry those two idiots around for fun at the age of three.
"It seems that my tennis club still doesn't practice enough, right, Karaji!"
Keigo Atobe came with the entire tennis club's regular members, and he originally wanted everyone to get to know the future new member.
But it turned out that these guys were too familiar with each other and didn't need him to introduce them at all.
"yes!"
Takahiro Kabaji stood behind Atobe and responded habitually.
"I think it's better to introduce ourselves first. We are guests here, and it would be very rude if we don't know the host."
Oshitari Yuushi raised his hand to push his glasses, which had no prescription at all, and looked at Jiro who was still trying to rush forward even though his clothes were grabbed by Gakuto. He felt that the days to come would be very interesting.
"Uchiha Xingyan, 12 years old, will soon join Hyotei Academy and will be a future member of the Hyotei Tennis Club."
Xingyan raised his hand and rubbed Jilang's soft curly hair, then separated the two while Jilang and Yueren were stunned.
He put his arms on each of their shoulders and walked out with them.
Coming to the opposite side of Atobe Keigo, Xingyan nodded with a smile and made a brief self-introduction.
"Yuushi Oshitari, 14 years old, current regular member of the Hyotei tennis club."
Yuushi Oshitari glanced at Atobe and then introduced himself.
It was obvious that Atobe was very familiar with this person, and everyone else seemed to know him, as if he was the only stranger.
"I'm Houcho Taro. I met you in elementary school. Welcome back!"
Feng Changtaro, who is about 1.8 meters tall, introduced himself nervously when he saw Xingyan's gaze turned to him.
When he was in elementary school, he and Hiyoshi Waka went to see him several times, so he knew a lot about this little brother.
"You...you don't even remember me. I'm Hijiruo, the underdog!"
Hiyoshi Raku originally thought that he definitely didn't need to introduce himself. They had met each other many times in school when they were young, so he was very familiar with this guy.
But when Xingyan looked at him with completely unfamiliar eyes, his attitude as a senior collapsed in an instant.
"I didn't say I didn't remember you."
Xingyan glanced at the well-behaved boy Feng Changtaro, and then looked at the angry and glaring Hiyoshi Waka...
They are the same age and good friends, so why is there such a big gap between them?
Or, are complementary people more likely to become good friends?
