Chapter 30: Street King
evening.
After the training, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.
"Are you ready? Have you told your family?" Looking at Shishido Ryo who had changed his clothes, Uesugi asked with a smile.
"Well, no problem. I've already told my brother about it." Shishido Ryo said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Although he has exceeded the tennis club's training today, he is still looking forward to Yu Kamishima 's guidance in the future.
"Okay, come with me, and remember to bring a few more jerseys. Also, take this." Uesugi Yu threw a loose wooden racket to Shishido Ryo and reminded him.
"Are you going to the competition?!"
Shishido Ryo's eyes lit up and he grabbed the racket thrown by Uesugi Yuu.
He picked it up and waved it.
Then his expression changed.
"This kind of racket..."
He frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Seeing this, Shangshanyou smiled and didn't explain anything.
This is the racket they used when they first went to training. The loose net is a big test for the accuracy and strength of the tennis ball.
Seeing that Uesugi Yuu didn't say anything, Shishido Ryo pursed his lips, didn't ask, and followed Uesugi Yuu's steps firmly.
After taking Shishido Ryo to eat something outside, Uesugi Yuu took Shishido Ryo to various tennis parks in the eastern part of the city.
After a moment of silence, Shishido Ryo was the first to ask, "Um...are we going to the street tennis court?"
Shishido Ryo followed closely behind Uesugami Yuu, swinging the wooden racket from time to time. Seeing Uesugami Yuu constantly taking detours, he roughly guessed.
After all, it’s so late, and the only place where you can still play is usually the street tennis court.
"Yes, that's right. You don't lack basic training now, but what you lack is practical experience." Shangshan You looked back at him and said firmly.
Shishido Ryo was stunned, and after thinking about it, he realized that he seemed to have paid too much attention to basic training, and most of his usual practice matches were only with Mukaihi Taketo.
"Let's go, it's just ahead."
Uesugi Yu ignored Shishido Ryo's reaction and continued walking with his tennis bag.
After a while.
Under a bright yellow street lamp, the sound of balls hitting each other could be heard faintly, and from time to time there were one or two shouts, which created a very lively atmosphere.
Ryo Shishido followed Uesugi Yu, looking around curiously as they walked. It was his first time to come to such a street tennis court.
When they walked up the steps, it was nothing like the chaos he had imagined.
The order of this court is quite good. A doubles match is going on on the court. The offensives of both sides are very exciting, causing exclamations from time to time.
Those watching the game outside the court also gathered in twos and threes. They all had rackets in their hands and looked like they were all players playing here.
The arrival of the two naturally attracted a lot of people's attention. Those who could come to this place were generally acquaintances who had been here several times. The sudden arrival of two new faces surprised many people.
Being stared at by so many people, Shishido Ryo felt a little nervous. He glanced sideways and found that Uesugi Yuu had a completely normal expression, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Does Shangshan always come to the street tennis court?" Such a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Hey, kid, which school are you from? You look like you should be in the first grade! This is not a place for children to play house." Soon, someone couldn't help but jump out to cause trouble.
Shangshanyou took a look at his jersey and saw the word "Kamata" printed on the left chest of the jersey.
Are you from Kamada Junior High School? A sharp look flashed across Uesugi Yu's eyes.
Take out the ball and swing the racket, all in one go!
“Boom!”
A loud noise exploded at the man's feet, and in the man's shocked eyes, the tennis ball brushed past his temples.
The terrifying speed even caused a ringing in the man's ears. In the end, the tennis ball was deeply stuck in the simple protective net.
"Noisy!"
Shangshanyou picked his ears and said with disdain.
Wow...
Shangshan You's terrifying balls stunned .
"What a strong strength..."
Shishido Ryo also looked at Kamishima Yu with a confused look on his face, "Is Kamishima-san always so arrogant?" His head was buzzing.
He felt like he had seen a completely different Uesugi Yu again.
The two doubles matches on the court were also interrupted by the noise.
The game was paused and both sides looked off the court with some annoyance.
On the street tennis court, because there is only one court, people who want to compete mostly play doubles. Even so, the time they can play each time is limited.
"Who is causing trouble? Don't they know the rules of street tennis courts?" They all had a hint of anger in their hearts.
"That is!"
One of them suddenly exclaimed. Many people were attracted by his cry. Could it be that the students from Pinshan College knew these two guys?
His partner also looked at him with some confusion, they had been partners for a while and this was the first time he saw his partner so surprised.
"He, he's the rule breaker who defeated us before!"
As if remembering something embarrassing, the contestant from Pinshan Academy widened his eyes, pointed at Shangshan You's figure and said with some trembling.
“Wow…”
His words caused an uproar in the audience.
Several months ago, a man who looked like a first-grade junior high school student suddenly appeared in Tokyo at night. He ignored the rules and challenged various street tennis courts in Tokyo.
At first, some people didn't take it seriously, but in the end, they were all beaten by this young man. The game was broken, and then some dark-minded guys directly staged a real-life PK, and ended up being taught an even more tragic lesson.
The most terrifying time was when everyone in a stadium started fighting, but in the end... only the young man walked out alone.
Since then, no one dared to trouble this boy anymore, and he began to dominate the street tennis courts.
It was not until more than a month ago that the young man who swept the street tennis courts suddenly disappeared, which made everyone on the street tennis courts breathe a sigh of relief.
As for why the boy was called a rule breaker, it was because he always ignored the rules of doubles, which was the default on street courts, and played one against two!
It is for this reason that those who lost the game before started real-person PK out of anger.
The rule breaker is back!
Everyone subconsciously took a step back. No matter their legendary tennis skills or personal strength, they were totally not enough even if they attacked together.
Seeing that he was recognized, Shangshan You was a little embarrassed. And why did he have another name like this! ?
In the past, he was looking for actual combat so that he could review the game. He did play a lot of games on the street courts, but every time he wore a tennis hat with the brim pulled down very low, and it was dark, so the visibility was not very good. If you don't observe him carefully, most people would not remember his face.
I didn’t expect to be recognized at the first venue today.
However, if he recognized it, he would recognize it. Shangshan You thought about it and it didn’t matter. It’s just that this middle school name is a bit speechless...
Seeing that Uesugi Yu did not refute, no one dared to speak. The guy from Kamata Academy who had shouted at them before was even more nervous.
He had heard from his predecessors before that the rule breakers had the biggest conflicts with their school, and in real-life PKs, their school was the worst beaten.
"I hope he won't do it... I hope he won't do it..." He prayed silently.
"He moved... Sorry, I seem to have something else to do, Xiaochuan, I'm leaving first..."
Seeing Ueyama Yu take a step forward, he bowed very Smithy, then turned his head, said hello, and ran away without waiting for everyone to react.
"this……"
Shishido Ryo had a stunned expression on his face. The scene inexplicably developed in a strange direction.
"Is Uesugi-san so intimidating?
Also, what happened to Uesugi Yuu who was so arrogant before! ?
What about these rule breakers they are talking about!?"
Shishido just felt that his little head was full of big question marks?
