"The match between Team Germany and Team Japan is about to begin!"
Australia's Central Tennis Stadium.
The opening match of the World Cup.
It began under the watchful eyes of millions of people.
"Next, let's welcome the nine-time U17 World Cup champion, Team Germany!"
The extremely provocative host introduced the players of both teams in a high-spirited tone.
The adjectives for Team Germany were filled with endless praise.
Even someone like Qie Yuan, whose English was terrible,
Heard something from the host's tone.
"Is Team Germany very good?" he asked unhappily.
"Praising them like that?"
"Didn't you participate in the meeting yesterday?" Sanada frowned and looked at him. "You're too relaxed!"
Jiyuan was speechless.
Deputy Minister, are you trying to undermine me even when I'm overseas?
Team Germany entered the field amidst the cheers of the audience.
The full auditorium let out deafening cheers.
It was as if this was Team Germany's home ground.
Even the voices of the audience.
They drowned out the host's words.
"Next up, Team Japan!"
What did it feel like to enter the field amidst the cheers of others?
"No one cares about Team Japan." Dashi laughed dryly.
Prince Ren walked next to him.
He patted his shoulder and said, "Relax."
It was the first time for the middle school students to participate in such a grand competition.
However, everyone's reactions were different. There were people like Dashi who were reflexively nervous. There were also people like Prince Ren who had no reaction. Of course, there were also people like Radical 145 and Sanada who couldn't help but show eager expressions.
Jiyuan almost treated this scene as a large-scale game dungeon.
He quickly turned his attention from the audience to the Team Germany next to him.
"Wow!
Is that person the professional player Borg?! "He raised his hand and pointed at a bald player.
"It's a real person!"
Yukimura looked at Jiyuan with a smile and raised his hand to stop Sanada's roar.
He leaned against the wall of the lounge. "I heard that even if you're a professional player,
"Professional players can participate as long as they are under the age of seventeen.
It was said that the German team had four pro players participating in this competition. Two of them were still participating in competitions in Europe, while the other two had come from Europe to join their teammates for the opening match.
It's no wonder that players from all over the world are here to scout the competition. "
It was rare for him to be in the mood to talk.
Jiyuan's eyes were wide open as he listened attentively.
When Sanada saw Qiehara's expression, he felt a little annoyed.
He also looked at the German team.
When he saw someone, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "That player from the German team.
He looks like Tezuka. "
Radical 145 snorted. "That's me."
"That's right. Looking at that annoying face, we can basically confirm that it's him!" Wooden Hand said.
Big Stone seemed to have just recovered from the shock from the audience. When he heard Tezuka's name, he turned his head to the side. "Ah, that's right!
I forgot to mention it yesterday. It's really surprising. Tezuka seems to be a German player. "
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
"Big Stone, look what you've done!"
"Egghead, you're too slow …"
In the midst of the discussion, Prince Ren had already appeared beside Yukimura.
He sat down next to Yukimura, but his eyes were looking at Sanada and Radical 145, who had an expression that said, "Tezuka, we're fated to be rivals."
Why were the two of them still so obsessed with the Tezuka?
Didn't they already defeat him?
It wasn't just the two of them!
Prince Ren saw Fuji's expression again.
His smile was filled with passion and desire, and his fighting spirit overflowed from his body.
This was really rare.
"You're so relaxed?" Yukimura didn't turn his head, and his tone was gentle.
Prince Ren sneered. "It's not my turn to play in this match, right?"
"You guessed the order of appearance again?"
"No, I didn't.
But … "Prince Ren tilted his head." Intuition, I'm not in this match. "
Soon, the first doubles match began.
Fuji and Duke went on stage.
With the intention of challenging Tezuka, Fuji became serious as soon as the match began.
To what extent would a serious genius reach?
How serious could Duke, who was once known as the "King of Destruction", be?
It wasn't just defense, but also a new attack technique.
If Fuji was already like this during the Kanto Tournament, he wouldn't have won so easily.
However, even if Fuji had reached this level at that time, the white fox would have thought of ways to make him beat him.
In the short one year that they had spent together, the only person that the white fox had shown an abnormal attitude was Fuji.
Or rather, putting aside his teammates, the white fox only showed an obvious "you have to beat him, and beat him with a huge score" to Fuji.
What exactly happened?
Prince Ren didn't think too much about this question.
He thought about it a little and put it aside.
Because of that match, his relationship with Fuji was a little awkward, for both sides.
The minister next to him got along well with Fuji, but as for him …
"You said that they all look at Tezuka differently, Fuji, Sanada and Radical 145, why don't they have a good relationship?" Prince Ren said.
He didn't sound like a question, but more like a retort.
Xing Cun was stunned for a moment when he heard these words.
He turned his head and saw that Prince Ren's expression didn't look like he was focused on the match, but more like he was distracted.
"… What are you thinking about?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Prince Ren curled his lips. "Nothing, just a small question."
Yukimura smiled and shook his head. "Since you asked, why don't you think about it from another perspective?
If they have special feelings for the same person, then they are almost like 'love rivals', how can they have a good relationship? "
"That makes sense, puri ~"
When Fuji began to show his power, Duke also became serious.
His strength was undeniably at the peak.
And after two years with the Equality House, he seemed to have restrained a lot of his sharpness, but in fact, he also took the opportunity to polish his state of mind and unique skills.
Everyone said that he was destroying his future by leaving the French team and joining Team Japan.
But …
Duke remembered the scene two years ago.
When the roof collapsed, his heart almost stopped. But the boy he met by chance clearly knew that he was their opponent, but he still risked his life to protect his sister, whom he had only met once.
He even dragged his injured body and continued to participate in the match.
It was such a bloody match.
No, it wasn't bloody, but it made him fall into a confrontation between his emotions and reason.
He was clearly injured to protect the most important person to him, but he had to …
After he came to Japan, the Equality House said that he didn't need to do that, and that he didn't do it out of kindness.
And he even personally experienced the blame that other Team Japan had for the Equality House in the beginning.
On what basis?
What right did he have to do that?
Boss was clearly …
Boss was clearly gentler than anyone, but everyone treated him as a devil.
This world …
But I want to fulfill Boss's wish for him!
I owe him this!
“Game
won
by
Duke.
Fuji Shūsuke, 7-5! "
"The first doubles match, Team Japan wins!"
Two people with extraordinary determination, clearly it was the first time they were partners, but their hearts resonated on a certain frequency.
Like this, they defeated the first doubles match of the German team with a thunderous attack.
The opening match was decided in one game, and this was their victory.
Facing the defending champion German team, they got off to a good start.
The cheers of the audience suddenly weakened.
The Equality House looked at Duke on the field with a calm expression, but there was a smile in his eyes.
He listened to the audience's starting cheers for Team Japan, and thought that it wasn't a bad place to start.
Starting from where they stopped two years ago …
"The second match begins!"
In the second doubles match, it was Rui Jiang and Radical 145.
On the bus, Rui Jiang said that he wanted to partner with Radical 145. When they switched positions on the third court and the fifth court, Prince Ren also clearly said, "Although you like Radical 145, I'll let you down. The one standing on the court is me."
Radical 145's mood was quite subtle at that time, but he didn't expect that after living in the same room with Rui Jiang for two days, he really did feel that he was in tune with this senior.
Hmph, my doubles is also incomparably gorgeous!
Radical 145 stood on the court with this kind of mood.
When he saw his opponent, his eyes changed.
Tezuka …
The pro players next to him couldn't attract his attention.
"To be honest, Tezuka is the most convenient opponent for me when I'm playing Mirage."
Prince Ren happened to be outside the court talking about his "Mirage experience" with Yukimura. "As long as it's a high school tennis player, they all have some understanding of Tezuka, and many of them have special feelings for him."
Fuji, who had just come off the court, walked to the side to get a glass of water. He smiled and said, "So every time you Mirage as Tezuka, it's on purpose?"
"From a left-hander's point of view, he's indeed very useful," Prince Ren said.
This was probably a provocation, because the word "useful" in this situation more or less carried a bit of malice.
Fuji smiled, "I know."
Prince Ren saw that he didn't respond and couldn't help but want to continue probing, "You, Radical 145, and Sanada all have different reactions when they see Tezuka."
"So?"
Fuji finished half a glass of water and put it down. He wasn't angry, but he seriously discussed, "Have you seriously understood the 'bond' between us and Tezuka?
If not, the flaws can be seen at a glance. "
"That's exactly what I want."
Prince Ren pinched his braids and smiled mischievously, "There's a difference between a 'Mirage' and a complete imitation."
Yukimura concluded, "You just want to see their reaction when they can't help but treat you as Tezuka even though they know you're not Tezuka."
"None of them will really treat me as Tezuka," Prince Ren said.
Fuji smiled and didn't say anything.
They didn't talk about this topic for long.
Because soon, Fuji pointed to the court, "Then consider this a reminder from me. It's time for your data to be updated."
"I'm not a data tennis player." King Ren complained in a half-true and half-false manner.
He looked at the court.
The format was too obvious.
Even if he stood next to a professional player, he wouldn't pale in comparison. Tezuka had fully displayed his strength.
"He's going to lose," Yukimura said, "That's a bit too ugly."
Prince Ren was secretly shocked, thinking that Yukimura was too blunt.
However, the words that came from the arena made his expression change.
"What's wrong, Radical 145?
How long do you want to kneel on the ground? "
Was this what Tezuka said?
Was this what Tezuka Guo Guoguang said?
Prince Ren laughed.
