Rukawa Sakura and Tezuka maintained a strange state as they returned to the audience seats of the main venue.
Speaking of which, Tezuka didn't even turn his head when he shouted Qian or something.
Was it really a habit?
Rukawa Sakura felt that it was because Tezuka and Qian had been teammates for three years and had been together for a long time.
But..,
At that moment, it was really quite funny.
However..,
She was sure that Tezuka had gritted his teeth for a moment just now.
She could even feel that under that pair of glasses..,
Those long and narrow phoenix-like eyes were narrowed.
Qian Zhenzhi..,
The greatness of your life..,
The dirtiness of your death!
The days ahead would definitely be very interesting!
Of course, now … Rukawa Sakura lowered her head, not daring to look in front or to the side. Tezuka's hand that was holding hers was warm, causing the temperature on her face to not go down.
Was it just because … he confessed to her just now?
Or was there something else …?
When Yukimura held her hand, she had never blushed, nor had she been so … nervous (?)
Ever..
Was it just because Yukimura was her boyfriend in name..,
Was that why she had never been embarrassed?
After Yukimura confessed to her..,
The first time the two of them held hands..,
She didn't feel anything unusual, just like when she held hands with him in the past.
She couldn't even remember when the two of them held hands for the first time after that, or what the situation was.
She, Yukimura, and Tezuka were childhood sweethearts, and it wasn't like they hadn't held hands before.
When they were young, who would care so much? Holding hands was just holding hands, holding hands when they were happy.
But why did this person just confess to her,
And she even rejected him. However, when he held her hand, she was stunned and stiff for a moment?
Was it shyness or nervousness?
Or was there something more complicated that she couldn't understand?
Rukawa Sakura was lost in thought about a series of things. She couldn't sort out her own emotions. That kind of complicated feeling was hard to describe.
Tezuka held her hand. He didn't use any strength, but he held her hand firmly and tightly. It was as if no one could separate them anymore.
The corners of Tezuka's mouth curled up slightly.
His face still looked cold, but under the lens, there was a deep smile in his eyes.
He couldn't explain it clearly.
But that was exactly what he hoped for.
If Rukawa Sakura decisively rejected him, that would be the most hopeless outcome for him.
But she wasn't.
She just didn't know where her feelings were.
She just didn't know what love was and didn't know how to love.
She couldn't understand her own feelings. She refused him not because it was impossible, but because she didn't know.
She just didn't know how to love, not that she had already fallen in love with anyone.
And at their age, who would dare to speak of love lightly?
No one understood love.
Who knew what love was when they were young?
He still had plenty of time to wait.
He wasn't in a hurry.
The match between Nin Of Gojoseon and Bu Er was taking place. But from the way everyone was looking at it, the situation was very subtle.
Tachikaidai was a famous swindler who would cosplay from time to time. This time, he was cosplaying as Tezuka.
Rukawa Sakura kept her head down, not daring to look at Tezuka. Now that she saw the situation in the match, she subconsciously looked up at Tezuka beside her.
Tezuka's face was expressionless as he watched the match calmly.
Rukawa Sakura suddenly couldn't help but ask, "Kunimitsu … What do you think?"
Tezuka: "I was too careless."
"Huh?" Rukawa Sakura didn't understand.
Was it because you were too careless that someone casually cosplayed as you?
Or was it because Nin Of Gojoseon was too careless and didn't complete the cosplay?
She narrowed her eyes.
She felt that it couldn't be the former.
Or was it because Bu Er was too careless and was suppressed by Nin Of Gojoseon, who had Tezuka's image?
Was that possible?
In a sense, perhaps Nin Of Gojoseon was Tachikaidai's most troublesome opponent.
Of course, he was only troublesome.
Because above "troublesome," there was "powerful," "emperor," and "God's Child."
The latter was deeper and stronger than the former in every aspect.
However, unlike the latter, which would result in a straightforward result, the former was indeed a very troublesome matter.
Nin Of Gojoseon Masaharu was a genius.
Masaharu was able to imitate someone, even their unique skills and habits, and even suppress his opponent in actual combat. No matter how you looked at it, he was a genius.
Unlike the typical imitation of tennis, Nin Of Gojoseon's cosplay wasn't something that an ordinary person could achieve.
Because it was based on his own strength.
Without strength similar to the person he was imitating, he wouldn't be able to imitate that person.
So, at first glance, the person standing on the court was Tezuka.
This image was so close to reality that it made Nin Of Gojoseon Masaharu's title of "Swindler."
The Tachikaidai University Tennis Department was full of geniuses.
Each of them had their own talents, of various kinds.
And Nin Of Gojoseon was worthy of being Tachikaidai's most troublesome opponent.
Tezuka calmly watched the match on the court.
They were standing at the back, so they couldn't hear what the people in front were saying.
But, watching the match evolve into a match between Tezuka and Bu Er, everyone was talking about it.
Before this, no one would have thought that this match would turn out like this.
Tezuka and Bu Er seemed to have never faced each other before.
They were from the same school and were in the same tennis department. They met every day in school.
For so long, they rarely had the chance to play against each other.
Every time they met in the school's ranking matches, Bu Er would lose at the speed of light. It was too obvious that it was intentional.
But, two years ago, Bu Er and Tezuka's match was 6-0.
At that time, Tezuka's hand had just been injured, but he accepted Bu Er's request to play against him.
The result was a crushing defeat.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, because of this injury, became a tragic figure for the past three years.
He lost to Bu Er, lost to Atobe, lost to Echizen, and even lost to an unknown person in Kyushu.
He shouldn't have lost in the first place.
Tezuka Kunimitsu wasn't someone who was suited to lose.
Rukawa Sakura tightened her grip on Seiji's hand.
Tezuka looked at her, and the corner of his lips curled up. He was smiling.
It didn't matter anymore.
He had already recovered.
He knew what she was thinking, what she was regretting.
But this time, it wouldn't happen again.
Tezuka Kunimitsu had returned, and this time, it was the real Tezuka Kunimitsu.
He wouldn't lose to anyone so easily anymore.
Thankfully, he didn't lose to Sanada this time.
Or else, Grandpa Sanada would go and show off to Tezuka Grandpa again.
From when they were young, when they were still at the police station, until their grandson was already fifteen years old, these two elders had never stopped.
He was happy because, compared to himself, she seemed to care more about his win or loss.
He knew that various factors limited him. After losing, even though he was still lost, he had already let go.
In life, who didn't have a win or a loss?
Every time, he had tried his best, so he had no regrets. His injury was an accident, and he couldn't regret it.
But, in comparison, she was still brooding.
Because … she cared about him.
This knowledge made Tezuka very happy.
From now on, he would dedicate every victory to her.
Tezuka said in his heart.
In the end, Bu Er won the match.
Everyone thought that if there was one person that Bu Er couldn't surpass, it would be Tezuka.
Yukimura thought so. The genius Bu Er also had a wall that he couldn't surpass no matter what.
If there was someone who could stop Bu Er, it would be Tezuka.
Although he was sure that he could beat Bu Er, the two of them had never fought before, and most importantly, the significance was different.
His significance to Bu Er and Tezuka's significance to Bu Er were two different things.
Of course, Yukimura was very doubtful. Could Nin Of Gojoseon cosplay him?
A fraud master's mental strength wasn't enough, right?
He and Bu Er were childhood sweethearts. Although it was only when they were young, after all, they were separated by two schools. Tokyo and Kanagawa were neighbors, but they were two different places. After they grew up, they didn't have much contact.
Nin Of Gojoseon was indeed a genius. Although he didn't have the nickname of a genius, he wasn't inferior to the genius Bu Er.
To be able to imitate the extreme limits of tempering and brilliance, one could definitely be considered a genius.
However, because of this, Bu Er's desire to win was unprecedentedly strong.
He had always been eager to compete with Tezuka, although it was in this form.
It had to be said that Nin Of Gojoseon was always Nin Of Gojoseon, and Tezuka was always Tezuka. No matter how well they imitated, they were still not the same person.
In the eyes of Bu Er and Zhou Zhu, Nin Of Gojoseon's Masashi wasn't as good as Tezuka Kunimitsu.
The fraud master didn't manage to confuse Bu Er this time.
Nin Of Gojoseon's eyesight was very good. He was able to discover all the habits of his opponent during the competition, which established the premise that he could cheat.
However, in this competition, even if Nin Of Gojoseon's Masashi were to fight, it would still be better than Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Because Bu Er and Zhou Zhu had been longing for a wonderful competition with Tezuka Kunimitsu for a long time.
At any time, as long as the person standing opposite Bu Er and Zhou Zhu was Tezuka Kunimitsu, his desire to battle would be unprecedentedly strong.
"That is the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple …" Rukawa Sakura looked at the opponent that Nin Of Gojoseon had imitated once again and said.
"Ah.
Shiraishi Musumosuke. "
"Masashi … this time he has really provoked Zhou Zhu …" Rukawa Sakura muttered.
First it was Tezuka, then it was Shiraishi.
One was the minister who had been brooding over the 6-0 competition and the elbow injury that year. The other was the opponent who had defeated him not long ago in the semi-finals and said that his skills were too flashy — Nin Of Gojoseon's Masashi. Every time you have to touch Bu Er's sore spot, do you really want to die?
Every time, it was exactly what he wanted!
Thus, the sixth counterattack, Starry Sparks, was born.
His gorgeous technique was flawless.
Bu Er and Zhou Zhu were the best at spinning and controlling the ball, and the best at using the wind.
When the tennis ball fell, it rolled down the steps in the audience and happened to be not far from Rukawa Sakura and Tezuka.
"It's really gorgeous," Rukawa Sakura said.
The thing that bloomed in the air like a star or a firework.
It was worthy of its name, Spark.
After Bu Er returned to his team, the first thing he did was to look for Tezuka's figure.
Rukawa Sakura subconsciously withdrew her hand when Bu Er's gaze swept over.
But Tezuka did not let go of her.
Sweat slid down his hair, but Bu Er was in a good mood.
He did not even put down his racket. He walked directly in front of Tezuka and asked him with a smile, "After this tournament is over, can we have a rematch?" Just like the first time he invited him, he asked him with a smile, purely because he wanted to play tennis.
Tezuka seemed to be stunned, but the corners of his mouth immediately curled up a few degrees. "Of course."
Tezuka extended his right hand. Bu Er smiled and extended his hand as well. The two shook hands.
After shaking hands, Bu Er looked at Rukawa Sakura and said to Tezuka teasingly, "Very good. Tezuka, you were not careless either."
Rukawa Sakura shrank back again.
He was not careless … He was too blind!
"Ah."
Tezuka maintained the curl of his lips. It was not obvious, but it was already considered a smile in front of others.
He tightened his left hand and did not loosen it at all.
