Tennis: one step ahead

"Hey. "

With Irie's eyesight, how can I not see that Hakuri Hiiragi made a mistake just now.

Obviously, the

Neon U-17 team met the German U-17 team in the quarter-finals, which surprised him quite a bit.

In this regard, Irie is also very helpless.

In addition to the two teams of Germany and Switzerland, the remaining six teams in the quarterfinals are not afraid of this year's Neon U-17 team.

But they ran into the most formidable enemy.

There is no way, which team will be weak if it can reach the top eight of the U-17 World Cup?

In the stage of sixteen into eight, luck can still play a big role.

But from the quarter-finals onwards, the influence of luck has been diminished infinitely.

If you want to take a step back, it is a great test of the team's own hard power.

"You can't win against Germany in this Under-17 World Cup. "

"However, the quarterfinals are also available. "

Hiiragi quickly adjusted her mentality and returned to the position of the baseline while taking out a tennis ball from her pocket.

In the original book, because of a serious injury in an accident, Byodoin Phoenix lost to Duke Watanabe in the most critical matchup of the group stage.

So, early elimination of the game.

It's good to be able to move forward two rounds now.

If you want to blame, you can only

blame the poor level of the last batch of neon U-17 team members, and you can only rely on newcomers such as Byodoin Phoenix and Ghost Jujiro to support the scene.

Even if there is a pillar like the Phoenix of the Equality House two years later, then it may not be impossible to wrestle with the German U-17 team.

"Hehe, I'm personally acceptable. "

"Anyway, it's only a freshman in high school, and there is still a chance in the next U-17 World Cup. "

"I'm afraid of ......".

Irie is more concerned about it, naturally not the part of the senior in the Neon U-17 team.

These people have no ambitions, and they are satisfied to get the results of the top eight.

What he was worried about was that the Phoenix of the Equality House was the same teammate as the first year of high school.

Especially the Byodoin Phoenix, the ghost Jujiro two.

As the main player of the Neon U-17 team, Byodoin Phoenix failed to lead the team to win the championship, and he can feel better

As for the opponent is the king of the U-17 World Cup, the German team that won the eighth consecutive championship, does it matter?

At the end of the day, it's not that I'm too weak.

If the strength is strong enough, why not overthrow the German U-17 team?

And Onijujiro, as his friend, Irie Sota knows her character very well.

Oni Jujiro is unusually persistent in winning or losing the game.

Even against the German U-17 team, he will not be willing to lose.

Otherwise, in the training camp at that time, he would not be able to defeat the Phoenix of the Equality Academy.

"Sometimes, failure is more of a catalyst for growth. "

Based on Irie Sota's expression, Hiiragi Hakuri guessed what was going on in his heart, but his reaction was flat.

Since in the original book, Byodoin Phoenix and others were able to stand up after failure, it makes no sense that they can't now.

Besides, even if you can't stand up, it doesn't have much to do with him.

"You have a point. "

Irie's face changed abruptly, the bitterness and helplessness disappeared, and he returned to his usual appearance.

A faint and strange light flashed in his eyes, which were hidden by his glasses.

"What about you, you have

such a strong strength in the second grade of junior high school, because you have experienced unforgettable failures?".

"Failure?".

Bo Li Hiiragi smiled faintly, and the edge he had been deliberately hiding was rarely revealed.

"No one has ever scored a game from me in an official match. "

“......"

Looking at Hakurei Hiiragi, whose temperament changed dramatically in an instant, Irie Sota's heart was greatly shaken, and it was difficult to calm down.

This is the real Hiiragi night?

How does he compare to himself in the second grade of junior high school?

"What you say is really arrogant and unbelievable. "

"Strangely, I don't even think you're lying. "

This is true. "

Hiiragi walked out of the tennis court at night and sat down on the steps.

"The quarter-finals are about to start, and you're still coming to play with me every day. "

"Isn't your coach still going to play against the German Under-17 team?"

"I'll play. "

Irie Sota thought that Hakurei Hiiragi had already seen through him, so he simply admitted it.

"Hehe, do you want to go to the player village with me?"

"Forget it. "

Picking up her tennis bag, Hiiragi put her ball and racket in it, and took out two more letters.

"Why waste time when you move in today and move out in a few days. "

"You ...... guy

."

Irie can't cry or laugh a lot.

Hearing Hakurei's first words, he thought that Hiiragi was reluctant to join the Neon U-17 team.

Unexpectedly, the reason is actually like this.

Hiiragi's words are true, can't you be a little tactful?

Sou.

Just as he was about to say something, a slight sound of wind came into the ears of Irie Sota.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two things, flew towards him, and subconsciously reached out to catch them.

"I'll give you two small gifts, and I'll take them back to your head coach Mifune Irido to have a look. "

"Trust my gift, he will be satisfied. "
