Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

Kanagawa Prefecture Shonan Coast Tennis Park.

This is the venue for this year's Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament.

Because it is a prefectural tournament.

So compared to the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament.

There are relatively fewer spectators and reporters here.

Of course, this does not hinder the participating school teams.

The waiting area for participating teams.

The Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

"Dear seniors."

"Are you ready?"

"Today we have to make a quick decision and then go to Tokyo to watch the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament."

After looking around at the other participating teams, Kitagawa turned around and said with a sunny smile.

"Ready!"

In an instant.

The Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School's main players immediately responded loudly and powerfully.

Although it was just a day of rest and recuperation.

But it has already made everyone's spirit reach a fairly full state.

"Very good!"

"Today, the senior who finishes the game fastest will receive a mysterious reward."

"Of course, the senior who finishes the game the slowest will also experience the power of the special version of Red Water."

"In short."

"This game is not just a competition against those teams, but also a competition within the team."

Beichuan's smile became brighter and brighter, so bright that it made everyone feel creepy.

The ordinary Red Water is already dizzy, and the enhanced version is definitely more terrifying.

Compared to the mysterious reward, everyone did not have much expectation.

After all, it was from the hands of Beichuan, who was extremely black-bellied!

Of course.

Except for one person.

"Hehe!"

"Abei, I will accept your mysterious reward without hesitation!"

"Well, maybe it can pay off the debt..."

Kirihara Akaya said quite domineeringly.

Just talking, the whole person counted on his fingers.

However, as to whether the calculation is accurate or not, it is unknown.

"Then we will go first."

After blowing a bubble, Marui Bunta said to Jackal Kuwahara.

Then they walked towards the court.

And at this moment.

In the audience.

Echizen Nanjiro, wearing a black monk's robe, also walked in.

"You really care~"

"My stupid son must forgive my absence this time."

While muttering, he looked around and searched.

The next moment.

Echizen Nanjiro found the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School representative team.

"Is this the Kitagawa boy?"

He put one hand on his eyebrows and tried to see Kitagawa sitting on the bench.

His eyes were full of curiosity.

"Oh~ What a coincidence."

"Echizen Nanjiro."

In an instant.

A slightly familiar voice came into Echizen Nanjiro's ears.

Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a knitted hat walking towards him while greeting him with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Echizen Nanjiro asked in confusion.

"Hehe..."

"It was just a practice match, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

"Then please introduce yourself again."

"Brand, the founder of HERO Tennis Club."

"Also a family member of Abei."

While speaking.

Brand stretched out his right hand.

"Brand?"

"Uh... who was it?"

"I always feel familiar."

Echizen Nanjiro muttered softly, his eyebrows becoming more and more twisted.

Obviously.

He had completely forgotten about Brand.

In fact.

This is understandable.

After all, it was just a practice match, and it had been so long.

How could Echizen Nanjiro, who couldn't even remember his cell phone and family phone numbers, remember Brand?

"Uncle in the knitted hat..."

Looking at Echizen Nanjiro, whom he had always wanted to defeat, Brand couldn't help rubbing his temples.

The shock and gap between illusion and reality were too great.

"Huh?!"

"I remember!"

"You've taken good care of yourself. You look younger than me."

After suddenly remembering, Echizen Nanjiro smiled familiarly.

At the same time, he patted Brand's back with his hand.

"..."

After a moment of silence.

"Do you care about my Abei?"

Brand didn't ask Echizen Nanjiro why he retired suddenly.

Because now there is no difference between knowing and not knowing.

Same

"Uncle in the knitted hat."

"I suddenly figured it out."

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"You just want to avenge me for defeating you?"

Suddenly.

Echizen Nanjiro stared at Brand and asked seriously.

After all, Brand is not from Japan.

If Kitagawa was his family, he would never be arranged here.

But the facts are quite the opposite.

Kitagawa not only participated in the Free Country Youth Tennis Tournament.

He even asked Echizen Ryoma to pass on a message to him.

Echizen Nanjiro is so thick-skinned that he can probably react at this moment.

"What? Any opinions?"

"If you are afraid, then return to service."

"You are the age to fight."

With a smile on his lips, Brand answered rather roguely.

Anyway, the obsession has been put down.

He cares more about Kitagawa.

"......"

"What a good young man."

"How did you teach him to be so sinister?"

I was really upset.

Echizen Nanjiro curled his lips.

"Hehe..."

Brand smiled and didn't say anything more.

Then he watched the game by himself.

"......"

Echizen Nanjiro was completely speechless.

"Do you want to make a bet? Bet on who will win the national championship."

"As long as you win."

"HERO Tennis Club will provide your son with everything he needs free of charge."

"From food, clothing, housing, transportation, to training, etc., all are the best we can give."

"But if you lose, you need to practice with Abei."

Hearing this.

Echizen Nanjiro's expression gradually became serious.

He also knew it very well.

Tennis is just like martial arts.

Whether it is equipment or food, there is a great connection.

It's like a person who eats well and uses well from the beginning. As long as he is not stupid, his starting point will be much higher than that of his peers.

Take Echizen Ryoma's height for example.

Although he is not old now, it is obvious that his height or physical fitness is relatively poor.

After all, an inch longer is an inch stronger, this is an indisputable fact.

But even if Echizen Nanjiro has won many bonuses.

But so many years have passed.

It's not that he has not spent money all the time.

There is not much left.

Now is undoubtedly a good opportunity to try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Without too much thought, Echizen Nanjiro directly agreed.

"Okay!"

"I'll bet on Seishun Gakuen!"
