"Old man, how do you know... No, I was just pointed in the wrong direction, so I missed the game time... Well, he is not a bad person. I must have seen him when I was in the United States, but he refused to tell me..."
Ryoma Echizen received a call from Nanjiro Echizen in the car.
Ryoma Echizen never expected that anyone would tell his father that he had left the park where the competition was held in a luxury car.
Now looking at Xing Yan next to him, he wanted to say that this person was harmless, but he really didn't recognize who this guy was.
"Now you know that it will make your parents worried? Give me a call and I'll talk to your father."
Xingyan looked at Ryoma Echizen with a troubled look in his eyes, and the voice that kept coming from the phone. If he didn't explain clearly at this time, the person on the other end of the phone would choose to call the police.
"Mr. Echizen Nanjiro, I'm Uchiha Xingyan... Yes, take him to fight with my friend, and you can teach him more lessons when he comes home... Yes, he is indeed too stupid..."
Taking the phone, Xingyan chatted with Echizen Nanjiro for a while under the gaze of Echizen Ryoma's wide eyes.
After giving his name, Echizen Nanjiro no longer worried about Ryoma being in danger, but he was still very angry that his son followed someone so easily.
Fortunately, he was not a dangerous person. If he had really met a bad guy, even if they called the police, it might not have been too late.
...
...
So during their conversation, it was decided that Ryoma Echizen would receive a safety briefing before returning home.
"Are you familiar with my old man?"
Echizen Ryoma stared at Xingyan, and he didn't realize who Xingyan was until he finished the call and put it back in his bag.
However, he is now very curious as to why this guy can chat with his old man so normally. Could it be that he is not a tennis player but a relative of the family?
"Here, take a look at it yourself, and then play seriously in the match with Atobe..."
For the first time, Xingyan discovered that Echizen Ryoma couldn't just forget people he had met a few times, he couldn't even remember their names after hearing them.
He threw in a tennis magazine from the United States, which Atobe had brought with him into the car.
The first article above is a report about a young tennis player from two years ago.
And he was the center of the report, but he did not accept any interviews, so most of the reports were reporters' wonderful reviews of previous games and some speculations mixed with personal feelings.
"So it's you. I was wondering, during that time my old man held this magazine every day, afraid that I wouldn't see the Grand Slam title on it!"
Ryoma Echizen only saw the cover page and the words "Grand Slam", and some disconnected memories were suddenly combined together.
He had competed in the US Open junior division before, but his competition was terminated because his old man said he wanted to return to Japan.
This junior championship, or even the Grand Slam, was something he would never have the chance to strive for again.
Precisely because he has no chance to get it again, he actually cares a lot about the fact that this award was once won by an 11-year-old boy.
"I heard from your brother before that you might participate in the junior group last year. Didn't you go?"
Xingyan did have a brief chat with Echizen Ryuga after that match, and he talked about how cute his brother was, how his tennis skills had improved recently, etc...
Since it wasn't a formal competition, no one would mind them even if they chatted after the game.
“That bastard!”
Speaking of his brother, Echizen Ryoma almost lost control in the car.
He was tricked into picking oranges, and when he picked up the oranges, that bastard brother was taken away by someone.
He didn't even know to say goodbye to him, he's a big bastard!
"The old man said I was too weak and asked me to go again this year, but he took me back to Japan before the year even started..."
Thinking about how he was repeatedly not allowed to participate, and then taken away after finally being allowed to participate, Echizen Ryoma always felt that his old man did it on purpose.
Just don't let him join the youth group...
"Probably because they don't want you to get hurt. In my year, more than a dozen teenagers were disabled and could never play tennis again..."
Xingyan looked at the somewhat lost Echizen Ryoma, and rarely mentioned some accidents that occurred at the US Open that year.
In fact, it was not an accident, but a prelude to murderous tennis, with violent tennis committing murder on the court.
At first he thought this was very strange, because only in underground tennis courts could such an operation that could injure people and was not against the rules happen.
But later he looked through a lot of records, and even if there was clear evidence of intentional injury, it would still require the organizing committee's decision to determine whether to disqualify the person from the competition.
In other words, as long as the organizing committee thinks it's okay, even if someone is beaten half to death on the court, the subsequent games can still continue.
This kind of behavior exists not only at the US Open, but also in several other tournaments.
In the end, Xingyan could only complain to the system about all this. It was worthy of the fact that it could use a tennis ball to hit people and send them flying into a world outside the audience seats.
"What about you? Why do you want to participate?"
Echizen Ryoma also knew that although his old man looked unreliable, he would never harm him.
But he didn't understand why this person could participate. Some reporters called him the most gentle tennis player and he had never hurt his opponent with a tennis ball...
How did such a person make it to the end in such a competition?
“Because I want the championship.”
Xingyan glanced down at the magazine. The most gentle?
Among those disabled players, nearly half of them had accidents in the next game after playing with him. Didn't anyone notice this?
Any opponent who dares to use tennis balls to maliciously harm him will be hit by his magic tennis balls and will be defeated in the next game.
As for the reasons for being disabled, some were because the opponents attacked them in the first place, and some were because of illusion interference, forcing them to play some self-destructive tennis.
Xingyan never thought of forgiving the person who attacked him.
"Maybe I don't pursue the championship very strongly. I just want to beat him now..."
Although Ryoma Echizen is not very mature mentally, he is the protagonist after all. Although he was confused for a while, he quickly found other possible reasons.
He had a goal since he was young, which was to defeat his old man.
As for the competition...
He was obsessed with not losing, but he really had no idea about the championship position.
"It should be like this, your goal is a person, not a trophy."
Xingyan thought of the later part of the story, when the national competition came, Echizen Ryoma gave up the US Open and ran back to play in the national competition with the Qingxue Tennis Club...
This behavior shows that he really doesn't care about the U.S. Open.
It's just like his father who was one step away from winning the Grand Slam but decided not to participate. He is exactly as willful as his father.
Maybe they play tennis just for fun.
