At Tachikai University,
The strong had privileges.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to use your privileges in such a place." Yukimura later sighed to Prince Ren in private,
"I didn't know you liked me so much, Prince Ren."
There was a hint of teasing in his words, but there was also a hint of seriousness.
Prince Ren could understand, but he didn't intend to explain anything.
He always believed that he was responsible for Yukimura's illness,
Reminding him of his responsibilities or bearing them.
It was true that the strong had privileges, but the strong also had more burdens than mortals.
Prince Ren didn't understand this saying before,
But he suddenly understood in the past few days.
He curled his lips, "I thought I would win before the game,
Is that okay? "
"I know Hyun Ichiro." Yukimura shrugged and said,
"What level has his strength reached,
Where is the limit,
I know it very well.
And you,
Based on what you showed during the holidays, you won't lose.
And more importantly, if the speed of your progress doesn't stop … Hey, Prince Ren, you said to use the 'Selfless State' and 'Spiritual Power',
Is already a mature move, right? "
Prince Ren widened his eyes slightly.
He looked at Yukimura.
The young man sitting on the hospital bed still looked delicate.
He was actually younger than everyone else, but no one would ever realize that.
And even though there was still haze in his eyes and depression on his face,
He still maintained his sharpness.
"You can see it?" Prince Ren admitted.
This unexpected frankness made Xing Cun quite surprised. "Oh."
Then he laughed, "So my guess was right.
Prince Ren, you,
Have had some amazing adventure. "
This was something that couldn't be hidden.
From that game onwards,
It couldn't be hidden.
And Prince Ren had no intention to hide it.
He didn't like to be in the limelight, but he also wanted to become a person who others looked up to.
What adjective should he use?
Cool?
Powerful?
Of course, he didn't want to be the main character of "Shonen Jump", but at the very least, he couldn't be a side character, right?
"So you'll be fine," he said.
Yukimura couldn't help but laugh. "I was going to be fine.
It's not a terminal illness, it just needs time to treat it. "
That was what everyone said.
Prince Ren thought, that's what everyone said.
But if that's really the case, why did you show such a painful expression afterwards?
And why did he roar so desperately?
"Is there any monster that can cure people?" Prince Ren called Xiamu who had been contacting him all the time when he got home at night.
"Treatment?
Is Prince Ren sick? "Xiamu asked with concern.
Prince Ren leaned back in his chair and unconsciously leaned back. His legs kicked the edge of the desk, making the chair wobble. "It's not me. It's someone I know."
"Someone very important to Prince Ren, right?" Xiamu smiled. "It must be someone very important for Prince Ren to ask me for help."
Even if they only met face to face for more than an hour, he could feel that Prince Ren was a very proud person.
"Anyway, I'll ask cat sensei first," he said.
Then, there was a clanking sound.
After the shrill cat cry, the voice on the other end of the phone changed. "It's actually you. What a surprise."
"You're a cat," Prince Ren said. "Why does senpai call you sensei?"
"Of course, it's because I'm an experienced and knowledgeable monster!" the cat sensei said loudly.
Prince Ren almost doubted that he had heard it wrong.
"Me?"
Eh, wait a minute, why does this title sound familiar?
Where did I hear it?
No, no, not this cat, but …
Before he could remember, the cat sensei continued, "Are you looking for a monster?
A monster that can cure people?
Boy, in this era, monsters that can cure people already have a divine position. It's not something that a little human like you can find! "
"I see." Prince Ren put one leg on the table and looked up at the lamp.
"Moreover, monsters can only cure injuries. For example, the ancient monster groups, Yingcao and Peach Blossom Monsters, have the ability to heal wounds and replenish blood.
But curing diseases is a doctor's job.
Yin Yang Masters can only exorcise evil spirits. "
The cat sensei said bluntly, "Instead of being superstitious, it's better to find a credible hospital and a credible doctor.
Boy, Psychic Power is not omnipotent. "
Prince Ren responded perfunctorily, "But there are such things, right?
Things that can fulfill all wishes. "
Maneki-Neko made a strange and creepy laugh. "Ah, there are a lot of such things.
But what can you pay?
The 'things' that can do that are never equivalent to an exchange. "
Yes, things that can fulfill wishes …
Prince Ren clicked his tongue in annoyance.
It was Natsume on the other end of the phone, gently persuading Prince Ren not to be anxious.
"No, senior." King Ren thought that he wasn't actually in a hurry. Instead, he was more confused and flustered.
He didn't know what he could do. For example, he clearly saw the development of things, but didn't take enough effective measures to stop it.
It was the same now.
He didn't know what he could do, and everyone told him to believe in the doctor.
The next day, he stood on the court with such anger.
He was sorry for this.
He shouldn't have held the racket with such emotions.
But the people on the other side of the court didn't extinguish the fire at all.
"I don't want to hug you." Prince Ren complained, "Can't we just shake hands?
We shouldn't be so close. "
"Do you dare to say this to Yukimura?" Sanada snorted. "Do you think I want to hug you?"
"Oh, compared to me, your psychological burden is indeed heavier." Prince Ren shrugged.
Sanada raised his hand to press the brim of his cap, "Stop talking nonsense, let's start the game, let's talk with our strength!"
This was the second time they met in the official team selection in a year.
Last time, Prince Ren lost to Sanada, but the gap wasn't particularly big.
But this time?
He stood out in such a different way, did it represent a leap in his strength?
The people who were paying attention to this competition were not only the former official candidates who were watching in the ward and had specially come to monitor what was going to happen, but also the first-year students who had more opportunities to interact with the official candidates after the National League ended.
There were even third-year seniors who temporarily returned to the tennis club because of Yukimura's illness.
The first game —
"The wind is blowing," Prince Ren said.
He held the racket, not intending to test or hold back at all.
Because there was no need for that, he and Sanada were familiar enough, and they had played against each other enough times.
Everyone present was his teammate, even if he saw part of his trump card —
"Selfless State?!" Marui shouted from outside the court.
When King Ren stepped onto the service position of the baseline step by step, his body gradually lit up with white light.
It was soft, but dazzling, and it enveloped his entire body.
"It's coming," he said as he raised his racket.
Pa!
The tennis ball quickly disappeared after leaving the racket, and when it reappeared, it drew a clear curve.
The curve brushed past Sanada's face.
"External spin serve?!"
A normal external spin serve was not a difficult move to counter, and Sanada was soon excited by such a straightforward attack.
His movements were so fast that even with Prince Ren's eyesight, it was difficult to catch him.
"I can't see it?" Prince Ren muttered to himself, "I don't need to see it."
Although he could not see Sanada's movements, his presence and the clear blade above Sanada's head were enough to guide him!
"It's not fast enough!" he said.
The light around his left hand that was holding the racket became brighter, and although his backward steps and racket movements looked slow, he still caught the ball in time.
There seemed to be some kind of power in his left hand that was shrouded in the light, and the racket in his hand. After a short pause, the tennis ball that came into contact with the racket flew towards Sanada at a faster and heavier speed.
"The limits of experience." Liu flipped open his notebook, but he did not know where to start.
Marui, who was beside him, reached out his hand and grabbed the barbed wire, and his eyes shone with excitement that he did not realize, "It's going to be white-hot so soon?
These two … "
"Don't tell me they have some kind of deep grudge?" Yanagi complained.
"Well, who knows, it could be described as a long-simmering grudge."
Liu explained in a subtle and gossipy tone, "For example, when Sanada was on duty, she caught Prince Ren and told him that he dyed his hair. Oh, you know that the central government's policy of not allowing hair dyed was only removed in the second semester of last year. She also caught him feeding stray cats, although there was no rule against feeding cats in school.
Of course, Prince Ren also pretended to be Sanada and did a lot of pranks. Once, he even pretended to be Sanada and sent a love letter to Yamasaki-senpai from the instrument club. "
Yanagi was speechless.
"Although Yukimura and I both thought that they were just playing around, the more things that happened, the more unhappy both sides became," Liu said.
Yanagi pushed his glasses and digested what Liu said, "So you're trying to resolve the 'grudge' between the two sides?"
Liu snapped the pencil in his hand. "Two sides meet at the same source?"
"… I'm sorry, I'll change my words," Liu Sheng apologized smoothly. "Neither side is pleasing to the other?"
Liu sighed sadly. "Good intentions really don't pay off."
While they were chatting, the first game was won by Prince Ren.
The initiative brought by serving was very useful, and Prince Ren also used more than 80% of his strength at the beginning.
He could only maintain his Spiritual Power state for about 20 minutes, so this game could not become a protracted battle.
Absolutely …
Absolutely not!
"Come on!
I won't let up! "Sanada held the racket and tennis ball tightly," Invasion of Fire! "
Ha, this, this kind of shouting the name of the move is too stupid!
Prince Ren faced the incoming ball and twisted his wrist, adding a strong rotation to the ball with his Thousand Hammer Technique.
He adjusted the position of the ball over and over again.
"Eight balls," he said.
After eight balls, he stood in the middle of the second half of the court and drew a small circle with his legs.
"… Tezuka's Domain?" Marui's eyes widened.
He looked at Sanada.
The person who also recognized this move was completely ignited.
