Chapter 7: Each One's Decision
evening.
Mr. Yuanye was sitting on the sofa watching a TV series, with a cup of fragrant tea on the coffee table. He looked very leisurely.
When Shangshanyou returned home, it was already past dinner time.
When he saw Shangyou, who was carrying a tennis bag and looking disheveled, there was a hint of surprise in Mr. Yuanye's eyes.
"You're back. Did you play against others today?" Uesugi Yuanye asked with a smile.
"Yeah, the game has started." Shangshan You replied weakly, then threw the golf bag behind the sofa.
"The results of it?"
Seeing Shangshanyou looking bored, Mr. Yuanye instantly became more excited.
"Lost..."
Shang Shanyou said with a depressed look on his face.
"Ah, it's good to lose... No, I mean how you lose."
Shangshan Yuanye almost laughed out loud. This kid has been looking down on others all day long, and this time he finally fell into trouble.
Although he has not opposed Yu Uesugi playing tennis in recent years, it would be better if he was discouraged enough to give up tennis.
In his opinion, his grandson's talent in kendo is undoubtedly stronger.
"I just lost to a senior."
Shang Shanyou curled his lips. Don’t think he didn’t see his grandfather’s old face that was about to burst into laughter.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's normal that you can't beat the seniors. If you think tennis is not fun anymore, just focus on practicing kendo."
Upon hearing this, the old man smiled and comforted Shangshan You.
Shang Shanyou didn't answer and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower. The old man was already quite skilled at slipping hints into people's minds.
…
In the bathtub, Shang Shanyou soaked his whole body comfortably, leaving only his head.
He leaned back in the bathtub with his eyes closed, replaying the battle he had fought with Ochi Gekkou earlier that day in his mind.
"I shouldn't have rushed to the net for this ball..."
"This attack can be interspersed with topspin to save energy..."
…
"It was a flash of thunder in the end, because Mach served the ball too fast, so the judgment was still wrong by a few centimeters."
"Also, the coordination of the high-speed body movement and the angle of the racket were not right, otherwise the ball would not have gone out of bounds..."
Uesugi Yu's thoughts were churning. With the system panel, his perspective was like a third-party God mode, reviewing the entire game bit by bit.
Only then did he realize that he still had many loopholes. Although he was training according to the standard plan, it was a completely different story when he played on the court.
"As expected, tennis is something that cannot be simply studied behind closed doors. Instead, you need to broaden your horizons and constantly compete with different opponents in order to continuously improve yourself."
In his heart, Uesugi Yu added another item to his future training.
"It's a pity that Tezuka and Yukimura didn't fight in the end, and he even missed the match with Sanada."
Thinking of this, Shangshan You felt helpless.
He was too excited at the time and fought with Ochi Gekko with all his might, and then took a long break and talked with him, but in the end, he didn't achieve his main goal.
Yes, he originally wanted to wait for Tezuka to fight Sanada, and then challenge Yukimura.
The result is naturally that plans cannot keep up with changes.
It’s a pity that I didn’t get to see the strongest strength of the future middle school .
"Well, the result is not bad at all."
But on second thought, Uesugi Yuu was no longer hesitant. He thought that he would gain more from fighting with Ochi than from fighting with Yukimura.
At least now Ochi Gekko can beat him, and Tezuka and Yukimura are no problem.
Although their potential and future achievements may be higher than those of Yuezhi Yueguang, they are three years older than you and their bodies have entered their peak period earlier.
There is really no way around it.
"Forget it, forget it. We'll always have a chance to fight again in the future."
Uesugi Yu still remembers the look on Sanada's face at the end, as if he was declaring his sovereignty and asking Tezuka to remember it well.
"Oh, what an interesting bond."
He was lost in thought.
Sudden.
"Xiaoyou, you are not asleep in there, come out and eat quickly."
A gentle word interrupted Shangshan Youpiaofi's thoughts.
"Ah, ah~ I'm done washing, Sister Xue Na, please wait for me." Shang Shanyou quickly stood up, wiped himself briefly, and opened the door with his clothes on.
Kamisato Yukina, who was standing at the bathroom door, looked at the flustered Uesugi Yuu with a doting look on her face and said, "Really? You didn't even dry your hair."
"Xiaoyou, come here for a moment, let me wipe your hair." Kamisato Yukina touched Xiaoyou's wet hair, then went into the bathroom and took out a towel.
"good!"
Yuu Kamisama gritted his teeth and stood in front of Yukina Kamisato and asked her to wipe her hair.
A faint fragrance emanated from the girl's fair arms.
Shang Shanyou looked ahead with a stiff gaze, but he didn't hold it for even a moment, as he lowered his eyes guiltily.
A girl in the second year of junior high school is already different from boys.
The key point is that Kamishima Yuu had long known that their family had arranged an engagement for their child with Kamisato's family.
Although he was mature at heart, he felt a little awkward every time he received such care from his elder sister...
"alright!"
Patting the boy's head, Kamisato Yukina smiled gently.
"Thank you, Sister Xuena!"
Shangshanyou ran to the living room quickly with a blushing face.
After seeing Shangshan You leave, Kamisato Yukina's cheeks gradually turned red.
Then she looked at the towel in her hand again, held it with both hands and covered her chest with it, feeling her chest inexplicably warm.
………
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
On the other hand, Sanada was completely shocked and remembered the name Tezuka Kunimitsu deeply in his heart.
The subsequent declaration of war was not the howling of a loser, but a decision made out of his inner pride.
" I will surpass Tezuka Kunimitsu's goal myself!"
His heart was roaring.
Yukimura on the side was still looking at his friend with a smile on his face.
It's a rare first time to see Sanada have such fighting spirit and determination.
Yukimura couldn't help but sigh. Maybe it was because the two had been good friends since childhood, so even if Sanada always lost to him, it wasn't that big of a stimulus.
But Kunimitsu Tezuka is really strong, even Yukimura has to admit it.
Especially the first door of Wuwo, the appearance of the limit of tempering shocked him.
He had entered the state of selflessness before, and he had even entered that state a year ago. Knowing about tennis, he also knew that this was the unique skill of the legendary samurai Nanjiro more than ten years ago.
But he gave up. He gave up on continuing to explore his potential in selflessness because that was someone else's path and what he, Yukimura Seiichi, wanted was his own path.
"Hey, Sanada, let's join Rikkai University together next year. I heard that it's a middle school in Kanto that's very strong in tennis."
Looking at Sanada who had remained silent, Yukimura directly extended his hand to invite him.
Sanada, who was sitting on the train, was stunned for a moment, then he shook his friend's hand without any hesitation.
The seeds for Rikkai University's transformation were sown under such circumstances.
…
"Tezuka Kunimitsu, Seigaku is a good fit for you, but can you take the step of change?"
As Tezuka was on his way home, these words kept echoing in his mind.
That was asked by a boy who was about the same height as him.
The boy said this when he stopped him as he was about to leave.
Bizarre yet extremely direct.
But that kind of solemn atmosphere caught his attention.
Rather than worrying about the outcome of the match with Sanada, he was inexplicably concerned about Yu Kamisama, the guy who suddenly barged in from behind.
Although he was in a dishevel, his aura still frightened him.
Although he didn't know how the other party knew him, his intuition as a tennis player made him sense danger from Uesugi Yuu.
Compared to Sanada who was defeated by him, and Yukimura who did not make another attack due to time, Tezuka was undoubtedly more concerned about Uesugi Yuu who had just clashed with Ochi Gekko.
Even in the end he didn't know Uesugi Yuu's name.
But he feels they will meet on the court one day.
"Sei Gakuen Junior High School? Then let me take a look."
Tezuka calmly rolled his glasses and stopped thinking about Uesugi Yuu's "reminder".
With their own determination, several people prepared for their new high school life.
And the wings of a butterfly will eventually stir up a different storm.
