In addition to his own strong strength, he also has his American nationality.

"This time the competition is an exchange competition between Neon and Mi Country. Although you are from Nihong, you have the nationality of Mi Country~~~"

When Xu Feizhi said this, he paused for a moment, "This kind of identity is indeed a bit subtle."

"I think you should be able to understand what I'm talking about?"

In this training selection, Echizen Ryoma did not lose his fighting spirit when he defeated Genichiro Sanada in the Kanto Competition.

On the contrary, because of Xu Feizhi, Akutsujin, Toyama Kintaro, Tachibana Yoshihiro, etc., so many masters appeared.

It ignited his fighting spirit more and more intensely.

Therefore, his defeat this time was not due to a problem of fighting spirit, but because of these sensitive political factors.

Tell a joke that many people like to tell in the future:

Tezuka Kunimitsu of the German European team told Echizen Ryoma of the American team that he would become the pillar of Neon Tennis...

Well, it's hardly the usual sarcasm.

Echizen Ryoma: "..."

Although he is only 12 years old, he has experienced the environment in the United States, and his mental growth is much more mature than the average peers.

In such an event that has attracted a lot of attention nowadays, his nationality and identity can easily become a sensitive point.

"I know~"

Echizen Ryoma lowered his head slightly, put his hands in his pockets, and his hat covered the expression on his face.

"Thank you for your pointers."

He bowed politely, then turned around, his back was a little bit shocked, and he turned to leave.

If it is other aspects, whether it is strength or anything else, he is confident that he will not lose to anyone.

But when it comes to such off-site factors, it's still such a sensitive thing...

Then there is absolutely no way.

However, it is still very unsatisfactory.

Moreover, even if they can't be selected for the representative team, there are other ways.

"Wait a minute~"

Suddenly, Xu Feizhi called out to stop Echizen Ryoma.

"If I'm right, what you should be thinking now is, in private, go find that Kebbin Smith and play an early game?"

Echizen Ryoma stopped in his tracks, neither turned his head nor continued to move forward, just stood there silently.

And sometimes, silence already means too much.

"You have to know that in such a critical period, if such provocative challenges and matches happen in private, if the official organization of the Tennis Association knows..."

Xu Feizhi reminded: "But it is very easy to be given a suspension penalty, maybe even the national competition cannot be played!!"

Well, Kebin Smith is now the captain of the U.S. national team, and Echizen Ryoma is only on the Neon side, and has not become a representative of the youth selection.

If Echizen Ryoma went to Kebin Smith to compete in private, it would be easy for people to have various unnecessary interpretations.

For example, deliberately consuming the strength and energy of the captain of the US team, finding out his data, ball path and tricks, etc.~

A practice that would give rise to many of these objections.

What?You said that before Kebin Smith provoked various schools in private, and also severely repaired their players?

Don't make trouble, Kebin is from the country of Lao Mi, and Nihong can't control him at all.

And even if they could manage it, would they dare to manage it? !

I have always heard that it is only the father who disciplines the son, but I have never heard that the son disciplines the father~~~

Therefore, no matter how arrogant Kebin Smith is, it should be invisible to Neon.

And if Echizen Ryoma finds someone to compete in private, then they won't be polite~

It is the old tradition of neon to be submissive to the outside world and attack hard at the inside.

"..."

After Xu Feizhi reminded Echizen Ryoma of all this, Echizen Ryoma's fists were clenched tightly, and he couldn't stretch anymore.

"So……"

He turned around and raised his head, allowing Xu Feizhi to see his trembling pupils.

"What am I supposed to do?!"

"I, still want to join the youth team!!!"

Faced with Xu Feizhi who explained everything to him, and during this training camp, he got the training guidelines from the other party, and has the ability to improve by leaps and bounds, allowing him to reach the current situation~

Echizen Ryoma is finally no longer that aloof boy, and he has fully shown his side as a 12-year-old boy.

"I want to race Kebbin Smith!!"

"Please let me compete~"

He bowed violently towards Xu Feizhi: "Please!!"

Regarding this, Xu Feizhi also looked at the bowed Echizen Ryoma, and let out a sigh of relief:

"The seven members of the representative team have already announced the results in front of everyone, and it is impossible to change it now."

"..."

Echizen Ryoma raised his head involuntarily, those clear eyes inevitably dimmed and lost their brilliance.

"But~"

Xu Feizhi suddenly changed the subject, "To be honest, there is still one candidate."

"And the eighth candidate..."

Looking at the pair of eyes that gradually regained their luster, "To put it bluntly, it is a backup prepared for emergencies~"

"Even so, are you willing?"

"Yes!!"

Echizen Ryoma's figure stood extremely straight at this moment, and his tone of voice was unprecedentedly firm!

"However, you may not necessarily be able to play~"

Xu Feizhi was explaining the situation clearly to him in advance, "Because the order of appearance is decided by coach Banda Mikiya and coach Sakakitaro."

"The specific factors and concerns they will choose who will be the players on the field, nothing can be determined."

"That's okay!!"

Echizen Ryoma's eyes were extremely bright, and on the corner of his mouth, there was a smile that got what he wanted.

"I will work hard!!"

He finally got the result he wanted.

"Thank you, senior!!"

He bowed respectfully to Xu Feizhi again and gave a salute: "During this time, really, thank you for your care and guidance!!"

During the training period, the analysis of his extremely detailed information and data, as well as the most suitable training plan for improving his strength.

All of these things have benefited Echizen Ryoma a lot, and they are also from the heart. I sincerely thank Xu Feizhi, the coach.

"When it comes to the day of the competition, if you can play, please do your best~"

"Well, I will!!"

After bidding farewell to Xu Feizhi, Echizen Ryoma, who was in a very relaxed and happy mood, couldn't help but immediately hopped on the bus where Qingxue was about to leave.

Together with Takeshi Taocheng and others, they started making jokes together.

But Xu Feizhi watched this scene quietly, and the scene when he was discussing the final candidate with Sakaki Taro, Huacun Aoi and others emerged in his mind.

"According to Coach Banda, the people above do not recommend Echizen Ryoma as the main member of the selection representative."

Sakaki Taro, who answered the phone, gave such a final result.

"However, if you are waiting for a place, you can arrange it for him."

Sakaki Taro crossed his hands in front of his chest: "This is also for the preparation of both hands."

"At that time, if the US side strongly demands to promote the duel between Kebin Smith and Echizen Nanjiro, then we will also cooperate."

"In this way, we can also be on the safe side, in case the United States makes all kinds of unreasonable demands again~"

Well, even if Echizen Ryoma can be selected in the end, it is only because of the possibility of strong demands on them from the United States~~~

In front of the father's country, the son's country has lost the right to speak, and it is also vividly displayed. Everything depends on the other party's face. 393

Xu Feizhi looked at Echizen Ryoma who was already getting on the bus with a smile on his face, and shook his head involuntarily.

Well, there is no need to tell him about this kind of thing.

And at the end of the training and selection on Neon's side, the other side~

Somewhere in an empty street tennis court.

As the sun set in the west, the remnant of the setting sun also sprinkled the last ray of afterglow, shining on the two figures on the field.

"Give~"

Billy Katy throws Kempin Smith a can of coffee.

At the same time, he opened the can and drank.

Then, I heard~

"I have been forced to learn tennis by my father with a Spartan education since I was a child."

"?"

Billy Katie was a little puzzled, looking at Kempin Smith, who was holding a coffee can and bowing his head:

"Why are you talking about this again?!"

Kebbin Smith continued as if he hadn't heard it:

"The main reason is that back then, my father lost to that neon man Echizen Nanjiro, and he was addicted to alcohol all day long, almost becoming a walking dead..."

Speaking of this, Kebin Smith's eyes suddenly became sharp: "It is at this time..."

"I met Echizen Ryoma, on the final stage of the junior competition."

"At that time, I sat in the audience and watched him become the four-time winner of the junior competition."

Recalling the stage of the finals where the audience cheered, and the moment when Echizen Ryoma took over the trophy in a calm manner~

"At that moment, I was thinking, I am different from my dad!!"

"I will never repeat his mistakes!!"

Kebin said with a very firm expression.

"I made up my mind to play tennis well, and I did more and more rigorous training than before!!"

"Just to defeat Echizen Ryoma!!"

"In the second year, I finally made it to the finals of the West Coast Junior Competition!!"

"only……"

He couldn't help clenching his hands: "In that match, there was no Echizen Ryoma!!"

"In that competition, you won the championship easily, right?"

Billy Katy added.

"That's right!"

Kebin Smith nodded, "I thought I could finally compete with that guy."

"Unexpectedly, at that time, Echizen Ryoma, he had already returned to Neon."

"So, I immediately threw away the championship trophy!!"
