Net King: Nioh Phantom

The plank road is built in the open, and Chencang is covered in darkness

【The first step is completed...the paralysis is successful! 】

When everyone was attracted by the"tragic No. 1 Stadium", Nioh had already started the"drama" he had planned.

Duke Watanabe, as well as the coaching staff who were watching the game, all thought that Nioh had a purpose. Deliberately destroying the stadium ground. Byodoin Phoenix, who was watching the game from a close distance on the side of the court, thought so too.

They all felt that this was the result of Niou's"enlightenment".

It is also an expression of Nioh’s dissatisfaction at being forced to accept the NO.1 badge.

——When they think this way, they actually don’t think anything wrong.

Because this is indeed the second purpose of Nioh destroying the stadium.

One is to let the players who will become teammates of the representative team in the future understand the dangers of the game.

The second is to vent out his resentment at being suddenly tricked and forced to take over the No. 1 position, which is the focus of intelligence spies from national teams.

The second item above was decided by Nioh’s personal reasons. The first item is the result of an overall view and a sense of responsibility.

However, if it is limited to this seven-goal duel, Nioh Masaharu has one and only one purpose for destroying the ground of the No. 1 court!

【If Watanabe-senpai and I both"restrict" the power of tennis, wouldn't it be easy to see what is true and false? This way there is no way to achieve a quick victory.……】

Nioh's approach to this seven-goal matchup was very rational.

After he received the NO.1 badge and returned to the audience at the junior high school students' side, he did not lose his composure because of a small disturbance in his personal emotions.

【Destroying the No. 1 court...there is nothing we can do about it.】

【……I am here to win the game, Byodoin-senpai and the coaches will definitely understand me, pffff~]

This is really something that can’t be helped.

At the cost of"the scrapping of Court No. 1," he could quickly win the seven-goal duel with Duke Watanabe. This is the"best option"!

Nioh believes that the coaches will understand...

Bang Bang!

The score had reached 5: a heart-pounding point that could have been a turning point. Because in a seven-ball duel, the player who surpasses the opponent by two points and the score reaches seven points will win the game.

Nioh has now scored five points, and he only needs to score two more points - two consecutive rounds to declare the end of the game!

Bang -

With"quick victory" as the game plan, Nioh was obviously not willing to play even one more round of tennis with Duke Watanabe.

The reason why he allowed his high school opponent to score four points earlier was partly because his physical strength was at the limit and unable to explode. The other part was because he was setting up a trap to leave bait and smoke bombs for the opponent.

After all... if there was no tennis ball duel between the two of them, and no power ball hitting the court ground, how could Watanabe and the spectators think that"nothing happened"?

【Well, the next ball... should it be called the"Invisible Air Snake Ball", or should we simply call it"The Indian Snake Charmer?""？】

Seeing that the development of the game has been following his own wishes and plans, Niou is in good spirits. So much so that he relied on this happy mood to ignore his physical fatigue for a short time.

When he was swinging the bat, while maintaining the image of the original phantom character, he was still thinking about deserting.

【Forget it...I'm not that guy from Sanada. I don't shout out the name of the skill when I'm doing a trick.】

【Although Byodoin-senpai sometimes shouts out during competitions, I am not Byodoin-senpai! 】

Phantoming into the Phoenix of Byodo-in and playing the game, Niou Masaharu thought confidently.

He is not afraid that his lazy thoughts will damage the image of Byodoin - anyway, almost no one dares to laugh at the blond high school student contestant in person!

Whoosh!

【Indian Snake Charmer·Phantom Ball! 】

Randomly naming the ball in his mind, Niou concentrated on locking the path of the flying tennis ball, and then swung the racket down quickly at a speed that formed an afterimage.

His shot caught everyone off guard except him.

Duke Watanabe knew that 45 was a score within the warning range for him, but although he was prepared, he did not expect that Nioh would"break out" so suddenly.

Others, including the coaching staff, thought that the game was" The"turning point" has not yet occurred

——They didn't sense the opportunity at all, because they didn't know that Niou had already taken the initiative!

Whoosh~~~

The swing movement that is about to leave an afterimage can be seen clearly because this"afterimage" is actually the superposition of more than one action.

Moreover, in this instant, the strength, direction and rotation of the swing all need to be carefully controlled.

Without even taking a breath, Nioh mastered the power, direction and rotation of the swing without swinging the racket more than once.

——The winding snake ball became an excellent cover to disrupt the view.

The ball paths present different parabolic shapes one by one, and they overlap and mix together, making it difficult for people to distinguish reality from reality.

It was just a tennis ball, but it produced such an effect...

With Nioh's physical fitness as a minor junior high school student and the small amount of physical strength he still had, of course he couldn't complete this level of swing action. However, the five dimensions recognized by tennis players as a reference for evaluation also include"mental strength".

With the blessing of the embodied form of spiritual power, that is, the"different dimension", this kind of rapid swing can be completed in an instant

——"Different Dimension·World Pirates" also appeared at the same time as the"Phoenix of Byodoin" waved!

"No, that's not right!!"

"This is not a suddenly used 'different dimension'’！"

Coach Mifune's expression changed.

It looks like the skull captain's hat in Pirates of the Caribbean. It caught the attention of the coaching staff and even the head coach as soon as it appeared in the smoke.

The coaches didn't even pay attention to the tennis or the score at this moment. They just looked at the half court where Nioh was and saw the appearance of"Another Dimension World Pirate"

"64. Nioh scores!"

Byodoin's expression was slightly condensed.

Of course he was the one who knew his own"different-dimensional shadow" best. Therefore, when the coaching staff was frightened, Byodoin Phoenix's heartbeat also accelerated for a moment.

【——When was it? ]

Could it be that when"Glowing Ball Destruction" was used,"World Pirates" had already appeared?

When Byodoin Phoenix was judging the score, his attention was not at all on the score.

In this seven-ball duel, the two players were hitting each other hard from the beginning, so that the smoke and dust were like fog, blocking the view.

The previous confrontation...the No. 1 court was destroyed, was it for now?!

The experienced blond high school player, even when watching the game from the sidelines, his game mind was not lazy at all.

In one or two breaths, Byodoin Phoenix guessed part of the truth by relying on his understanding of"his own moves" and his understanding of Nioh Masaharu's court style.

At this time, for Niou - there is only one point left before the end of the seven-goal duel!

"Actually……"

Duke Watanabe is quite familiar with his boss’ world-class skills as the"Indian Snake Charmer".

He is one of the"minority" among high school students. He participated in the U17 Youth World Cup two years ago and knows what high school senior-level games are like. He has a lot of experience in dealing with competitions - he was able to play the role of a singles player in the French U17 team that year and was very trusted.

But now, while maintaining vigilance at all times, he unknowingly fell into his opponent's trap!

【Fell into a trap! 】

The high school student player who always had a smile and seemed to be in a friendly mood darkened his face.

Although Duke Watanabe was in the game and was the only one among everyone present who could personally feel Nioh's goal, he couldn't understand the goal and everything behind it for a while.

Although he is very strong and experienced, he is not as sophisticated and discerning as Coach Mifune, nor is he as knowledgeable as Byodoin Phoenix about his skills and moves and about Nioh Masaharu.

——After Byodoin played the three-set match with Nioh, although he could not figure out the details of Nioh, he truly understood and felt Nioh's tennis.

And the person that Nioh is phantoming now is"himself" by Byodoin Phoenix.

Although the"Indian Snake Charmer" skill was changed, it looks different at first glance, but what about Byodoin Phoenix? Maybe he doesn't know his own skills?!

In the view of Byodoin, Nioh simply added some of his own"private information" to it to make the"Indian snake charmer" fight more smoothly.

After all, Nioh's current physical strength is almost exhausted, and he must save what he can...

However, although Duke Watanabe, a player in this seven-goal duel, also knew this, he failed to think of more in time..

He knew that Nioh, who had gone on to play against him after playing three whole sets without rest, had a huge weakness in his current physical strength.

He also knew that the shot Nioh just played looked like"the Indian snake charmer"."——If he didn't know his boss better, he might have really thought that this was the world-class skill of the"Indian Snake Charmer".

But beyond that, there's more...

Duke Watanabe didn't expect!

【Is it the effect of 'Nioh Phantom'? ]

He was still thinking about the shot Nioh made, which looked like the"Indian Snake Charmer" to him.

【‘Nioh Phantom', can you use a similar method to play the skills you have seen?】

【There is information on the video tapes I watched before, but that’s not what it says.……】

At the critical moment of the game, every second is prime time that cannot be wasted.

Duke Watanabe focused his thoughts on the"Nioh Phantom" and the"Indian Snake Charmer", causing himself to further lose the"possible turning point"! ps, within a few seconds, head coach Mifune realized something was wrong in time with his sophisticated vision and understanding of the players. Senior Byodoin, who had played three games with Nioh to get to know each other, cleared the air and got to the point. Senior Watanabe was still stuck on the surface. Lost the chance to reverse the score in the fog——So information is very important! If Duke Watanabe knew Nioh very well, then Nioh’s duel would not have gone so smoothly~_
