Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

—— "Bang"

Before Minaba could think about it, Xiaolan had already hit the ball back.

Seeing this, Minaba started running again and stretched out her racket to catch the ball.

"Bang"

After feeling the force coming from the racket again, Minaba frowned even more deeply.

The feeling just now was indeed correct! The force coming from the ball was really strong!

Xiaolan... could actually hit a ball with such a strong force?

And the speed of the return ball just now was indeed not like that of a "novice".

Thinking of this, Minaba's expression gradually became serious, and she was ready to observe Xiaolan's level carefully.

Half an hour later, Xiaolan put down the racket in her hand: "I lost~ As expected of Miss Minaba, she is really amazing!"

Looking at the smiling Xiaolan, Minaba couldn't help but sigh: "Xiaolan, have you practiced tennis before?"

"Huh? No, but a friend of mine has always liked tennis. Ryuno and I have played tennis with her several times~"

Speaking of this, Xiaolan's mind appeared Sonoko's smiling face.

If Sonoko knew that she and Ryuno had become friends with the "Queen of Grass" and even played tennis together, she would be very surprised~

"Really... Do you want to be a professional tennis player?" Minaba stared at Xiaolan for a few seconds, and then asked seriously.

"Ah! Professional tennis player? Miss Minerva, I..."

"Although your tennis skills are still a little lacking, your physical fitness, especially your strength and reaction speed, is far beyond my imagination!"

"If you train a little, you may become the best tennis player!"

Before Minerva finished speaking, Xiaolan's face flushed.

Being said to her by the "Queen of Grassland", even Xiaolan was a little overwhelmed.

——"Minerva! Come and see!!!"

Just then, Ares's astonished shout next door reached their ears.

Xiaolan and Minerva, who didn't know what was going on, ran to Court No. 1 at the same time.

"What's wrong, Ares?"

"Look here..." Ares didn't say it clearly, but pointed to the plastic floor with his finger.

Xiaolan and Minerva looked in the direction of his finger.

The plastic floor, which should have been flat, now had a small round pit.

"Ares, what's wrong with this little pit? You called us here just to see this little pit?" Minaba looked at Ares with a puzzled look.

"No, no! There was no such pit here originally!" Ares' tone was a little hurried.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Of course I know there was no pit here originally. What's wrong, Ares, are you feeling unwell?" Minaba said worriedly.

Seeing that he didn't explain clearly, Ares couldn't help but rub his hair helplessly.

At this time, Long Ye on the side coughed lightly and whispered: "Sorry, this is all my fault..."

Hearing this, Minaba and Xiaolan turned to look at Long Ye.

After seeing the embarrassed look on Long Ye's face, Xiaolan seemed to think of something and covered her mouth with her little hand.

"Long Ye, this pit couldn't be..."

Hearing this, Long Ye nodded at Xiaolan.

After watching the exchange between Xiaolan and Long Ye, Minaba seemed even more confused.

What happened here...? Why do they all have this expression?

…

"What?! Did you make this hole with the tennis ball just now?!"

"Minaba, you didn't see the ball he hit just now, that ball was simply amazing!" Ares, who had recovered from the shock, said excitedly at this time.

"Sorry, I was a little excited just now and couldn't control my strength..." Ryuno put his hands together and answered embarrassedly.

"Lost control of strength? But this..."

Minaba looked at the hole on the ground, and then looked at Ryuno and Ares, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Although she didn't see the fight between Ryuno and Ares with her own eyes, she seemed to understand something just by the round hole on the ground and Ares's excited expression.

After a moment of silence, Minaba suddenly looked at Ares beside him: "How do you think Takeda plays tennis?"

Hearing this, Ares waved his hand: "Although he has not practiced tennis much, his physical fitness is terrible! If his tennis skills are improved, he may become the best professional player in the world!!!"

Minaba: ? ? ?

I always feel like I have heard this before.

After a while, after understanding the details of the incident, Minaba looked at Ryuno and Xiaolan in front of him with shining eyes.

"So you have been practicing fighting skills since childhood, no wonder you have such a great physical fitness!"

"What Ares and I said just now is the truth. If you practice well, you will definitely be able to play on the tennis court."Don't worry about the basics. With your physical fitness and reaction ability, you will have no problem even if you start training now." Ares nodded with his hands folded, seeming to agree with Minaba's statement. Xiaolan pulled Ryuno's hand shyly, blushing slightly. "I don't have such an idea for the time being. As for Xiaolan, she does seem to be very interested in tennis. If she has such an idea, I will definitely support her with all my strength! "

After saying that, Ryunosuke looked at Xiaolan lovingly, and Xiaolan also looked at Ryunosuke tenderly, and the two smiled at each other.

Seeing that the two had such a good relationship, Minaba was happy and envious.

...

In the evening, Ryunosuke and Xiaolan declined the invitation of the Minaba family to keep them for dinner, and prepared to take a taxi back to the hotel.

After all, they were about to start school, and they couldn't stay in London all the time, so they had to go back to the hotel to make some preparations.

Seeing this, Minaba had to say: "It's not easy to get a taxi here, why don't I drive you back? Don't refuse, I really want to stay with you for a while~"

Ryunosuke and Xiaolan had to nod and got in the car with a smile.

On the way

"Anyway, the contact information has been left. If you ever have the idea of ​​becoming a professional player, you must contact us~ I also want to be your coach~"

"Okay~" X2

"By the way, Miss Minaba, I remember that you always seem to have a sentence on your lips. "Xiaolan hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak.

"Hmm? You said LOVE IS 0?"

"Yes, what does this mean?"

"Ah, someone once told me that for tennis players, love is 0, no matter how many 0s are accumulated, it is useless~"

Hearing this, Xiaolan frowned. As expected, as she thought, Miss Minaba and Mr. Ares seemed...

After noticing Xiaolan's state, Ryuno put his hand on Xiaolan's head and chuckled: "Miss Minaba, LOVE may be 0.

However, 0 is an important dividing point between positive and negative. It is a magical number that can represent both infinitesimal and infinite quantities~"

"In other words, 0 is the beginning of everything. Just like tennis, if you don't start learning from 0, how can you become a professional player, or even win consecutive championships like you?"

After a moment of silence, Minaba murmured: "0 is the beginning of everything... I understand! Thank you!"
