The life of the Yamabuki Tennis Club is very monotonous nowadays, training, competition, training, and occasionally Souji will give everyone a day off. After all, even if the body can bear it, the mind still needs a proper rest.

However, Hatada Souji did not organize any activities during breaks. In his opinion, breaks, as the name suggests, should be time for the team members to control themselves. It is a bit too far-fetched to engage in group activities. After all, everyone’s rhythm

It's different.

The key is that we see each other every day. If we still see each other during the holidays, the feeling of rest will be greatly reduced.

The Kanto Tournament also went very smoothly. Apart from Hyokui at the beginning, Yamabuki didn’t have many strong opponents in this group. According to the current situation, apart from meeting the veteran strong team Rokkaku Middle School in the semi-finals

Apart from the above, there are no other opponents that are particularly noteworthy. Souji Hatada has left these games to Sengoku Seijun and others.

Yamabuki, Aogaku, Rokkaku Junior High School and Rikkai University, who were selected as the seed teams, fully demonstrated the dominance of a strong school. They advanced all the way and defeated their opponents with undisputed overwhelming strength.

Among them, Tatekai Yamatoyama is the most popular, and many viewers have predicted that the final champion will definitely come from these two schools.

This also resulted in more and more reporters surrounding Yamabuki for interviews after each match. After all, it is impossible for Neon to be the only tennis magazine to report on such events.

This also made Soji Hata feel very distressed. He really didn't like to be interviewed.

The one who is also unhappy recently is Akaya Kirihara, who was beaten into autism by him.

Ever since the last time he witnessed Souji Hata's careless goal, Kirihara Akaya seemed to have fallen into an indescribable state, and nothing felt right no matter how he played.

Although he is much better now, Kirihara Akaya can still feel that his current hitting is still not as smooth as before, and there is still a slight feeling of jerkiness between the movements.

It was this feeling that made him angry the most. He went through crazy training every day to squeeze himself out, trying to erase and forget the tennis that had almost become a nightmare in his mind!

...

At this time, inside the Lihai University Tennis Training Hall.

Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara looked at Kirihara Akaya, who faced five ball machines at once, and adjusted the serving speed to 180 kilometers per hour. They couldn't help but said: "Kirigahara is too messy!"

"Enough training for today! Stop it!"

However, as if he completely ignored the reminders from Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara, Kirihara Akaya focused his eyes and stared at the opposite ball machine with an unwilling expression.

At this moment, it seemed as if the goal that Soji Hata had played without any thought appeared before his eyes again.

His face suddenly became serious.

I must defeat that guy!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Five ball-serving machines fired tennis balls at the same time with an interval of less than one second, and the five tennis balls came to Kirihara Akaya in the blink of an eye.

Kirihara Akaya's eyes were fierce.

I must surpass that goal!

"ah!!!!!"

Kirihara Akaya yelled and swung the racket, but he had already gone through a lot of training and how could he catch these balls when he was exhausted.

After barely hitting back with two balls, the remaining three balls landed heavily on Kirihara Akaya and directly knocked Kirihara Akaya away.

"Kirihara!"

Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara were very anxious when they saw this scene. One quickly went to check on Kirihara Akaya, and the other went to turn off the ball machine!

Jackal Kuwahara, who ran over to turn off the ball machine, looked at Marui Bunta and helped Akaya Kirihara up, and asked with concern: "How are you doing, are you okay?"

Marui Bunta shook his head, "It's okay, I just lost my strength."

At this time, Kirihara Akaya, who was sitting up, tried to stand up tremblingly.

He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out of the way, I can continue training!"

Seeing that Kirihara Akaya was still trying to be brave, Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara immediately became anxious.

"Are you kidding? You are in this state now, why are you training?"

"You'll get hurt if you try to be brave like this!"

However, Kirihara Akaya, who was hot-headed and depressed in his heart, could not listen to the words of Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara at this moment, and walked towards the court step by step.

"Kirihara!"

"That's it."

A voice sounded calmer but more unquestionable than Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara.

Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwabara turned around and breathed a sigh of relief as if they had seen a savior.

"Liu, you're here."

Yanagi Renji passed Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwabara and walked directly in front of Kirihara Akaya. He looked at Kirihara Akaya with his head hanging down and frowned slightly.

"That's it for today, Kirihara."

"I can still train, I want to train!"

At this time, Kirihara Akaya, who was in a corner, couldn't listen to anything. He only knew that if he didn't train, he would never be able to hit Souji Hata's goal. That would be even worse than death!

Yanagi Renji saw Kirihara Akaya's appearance and lightly pushed Kirihara Akaya's shoulder. Kirihara Akaya immediately lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

"what you do!"

Kirihara Akaya raised his head and looked at Yanagi Renji angrily.

Yanagi Renji calmly lowered his head and looked at Kirihara Akaya.

"Why, do you have to be in this situation before you are willing to look at me squarely?"

Seeing Yanagi Renji looking down at him, Kirihara Akaya was stunned for a moment, and then a strong anger surged into his heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

But Yanagi Renji just stared at Kirihara Akaya quietly.

"There will be a match against Fudomine tomorrow. As the No. 3 singles player, if I let you continue to behave like this, how will you play tomorrow? Do you have to choose to abstain?"

Kirihara Akaya said stubbornly: "I will definitely win! You don't need to worry."

"If you don't need me to worry about it, then enough is enough, Kirihara."

Liu Renji said calmly but extremely seriously: "Playing with your temper will not make you stronger, and there must be a limit to your nonsense."

"Although defeat is something that Tachibana cannot tolerate, but once defeated, he cannot recognize the reality and is as helpless as a headless fly. Tachibana does not need him either!"

"Think clearly about what you should do now!"

After Yanagi Renji finished speaking, he walked straight past Kirihara Akaya, ignoring Kirihara Akaya who lowered his head and said nothing, and said to Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara: "Let's go."

The two of them were stunned.

"But......"

"Leave him alone!"

Liu Renji said calmly: "What Li Hai needs is a strong person who can stand alone, not someone who can only show off his power."

With that said, he took the lead to leave. Jackal Kuwahara looked at Kirihara Akaya who was sitting on the ground, and wanted to give him a hand, but his shoulder was held by Marui Bunta, who shook his head at him.

Jackal Kuwahara hesitated, then sighed helplessly and left with Marui Bunta.

Akaya Kirihara was left alone sitting on the empty court, and there was a light, depressing and suffocating atmosphere in the arena.

Kirihara Akaya sat quietly on the spot, and then, as if his tense nerves had finally relaxed, he lay down on the ground, his chest rising and falling violently.

Although his eyes are tired, they still shine with stubbornness.

He clenched his fists tightly and said seriously every word: "I won't lose again!"

...

The next day.

"Game, Niou Yagyu, 6-1."

...

"Game, Marui Jackal, 6-0."

"As expected of Tatekai, he easily defeated Fudoho's two teams in a doubles match."

"You have absolutely no ability to fight back, Fudomine."

"Tachikai is too strong."

The situation at this time was overwhelmingly unfavorable to Fudomine.

"I'm sorry, Minister!"

Looking at the guilty Kamio Akira and Itake Fukaji, Tachibana smiled lightly.

"It doesn't matter, just try your best. Let's see what I do next!"

"The next match will be between Yutatekai Ogirihara Akaya and Fudomine Tachibana Yoshihei."

Standing in front of the net, Tachibana Yoshihei looked at Kirihara Akaya, who had his head lowered. He frowned, feeling that something was not right about the opponent's state.

"Hello, please give me some advice."

"Hey hey hey."

Little did he know that after he finished speaking, Kirihara Akaya's shoulders suddenly shook slightly and he let out a harsh laugh.

Tachibana Yoshihei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and the next second, he met Kirihara Akaya's red eyes.
