Net King: Nioh Phantom

Chapter 9

Nioh and others, who returned from the draw, received a warm welcome from their teammates as soon as they entered the door.

Bang~

Along with the sound of the fireworks tube, tiny colorful notes fell in the air at the door.

This is an early"celebration" for the tennis players who stayed in the lounge."——

"celebrate! celebrate!!"

As soon as I entered the door, I was almost smeared with colorful notes. Nioh was very glad that he was not at the front.

Fortunately, Byodoin-senpai was at the front to take care of everything!

"……When was this prepared?"

Although it is not good for Byodoin to think this way, Coach Kurobe is also very glad that he is not the first person.

As the"official spokesperson" of the U17 Japanese national team today, he met Nioh and the others on the way here. We walked together, so we almost encountered the oncoming streamers and brightly colored scraps of paper.

"Oh, coach, you said this - of course I prepared it before coming to Melbourne!"

Akaya Kirihara looked out from behind Seiichi Yukimura and said.

After finishing the fireworks tube, Kirihara was startled by Byodoin's face. He instinctively wanted to shrink behind his Yukimura-senpai. But the active second-year player He won't just fall silent, not to mention that he is not that afraid of high school seniors in his heart.

"The planned purpose...is to use it when celebrating after winning the championship."

Liu Renji said.

But his plan couldn't keep up with the changes, so the scene just happened.

"Didn't Coach Kurobe read our purchase order?"

Mitsuya Akuto also smiled slightly.

The high school student player obviously spoke in a gentle voice, but it made Coach Kurobe feel like he was being questioned.——

【Coach, you don't care too much about 'logistics'!】

"Yes, the planned purchase order that was approved after we submitted it clearly stated the items and quantities to be purchased, and attached the best price."

As a member of the"Logistics and Data Team", Inui Sadaharu added.

The purchase order that was picked up actually contained their"a little bit of selfishness""——For example, raw materials for making sports drinks and ingredients for making Yajuto rice balls_.

Compared to Gan and Mitsuya's"selfishness", what Yanagi Renji filled out on the purchase form was simply too selfless!

After Mitsugu Akuto read it, he was silent for a few seconds, and even resolutely added"one, two, three, four, five items needed for the celebration banquet" and so on to the list attachment of the planned purchase order.

As for Inui Sadaharu... Inui Sadaharu felt something was wrong only after the planned purchase order was handed over.

However, the purchase order and its attachments have been submitted to the coaches for review and approval, and on the same day, the data group headed by Akuto Mitsuya received the purchase funds required to fully meet the purchase order!

"Purchase Order?"

Coach Kurobe's face showed confusion.

When will there be such a fireworks tube to celebrate a small party in the purchase list of the U17 training camp?

"……Saito?"

Coach Takashi didn't know this either, so he looked at another of his colleagues.

"…………"

However, Coach Takushoku was disappointed, and Coach Saito’s face was blank.

"I don't! It was not approved by me!!"

"I've never seen this list before!"

Coach Saito is not willing to take the blame.

"Maybe the head coach.——"

Coach Saito was about to look at Coach Mifune, but before he could turn around——

"I approved it, is there any problem?"

The Byodoin Captain's formal suit has a few small ribbons on the shoulders, and there are inevitably small pieces of colorful paper left in his hair.

As the first person to open the door and stride in, Byodoin Phoenix In fact, he was the only one who was"attacked" by the fireworks tube - because the person walking behind him was Nioh Masaharu.

Nioh was very responsive, but he hid too quickly and did not even enter the"attack range" of the fireworks tube. And Because Nioh, Atobe and Kurobe coaches also escaped.

So the only person who was baptized by the fireworks tube was Byodoin Phoenix...

But now, what is the Byodoin captain who was so angry just now talking about?!

——This fireworks tube was purchased with public funds from the U17 training camp after he reviewed and approved it!

"Senior, I didn’t expect you to think so highly of us."

Nioh walked in the door with a complicated look on his face.

"Well, just think of it as an early celebration!"

Atobe's emotions were also subtle, but when he walked in with Nioh, he calmly stated that this was an"advance celebration""

"Hahahahahaha, just what I want!!"

As Coach Kurobe finally walked in, Tohno Atsukyo's excited laughter

——Facing the upcoming U17 World Cup warm-up match, there is no doubt that the atmosphere of the U17 Japanese national team is very relaxed.

"Ah, this really shocked me!"

"I didn’t expect that we could draw the U17 German team.……"

Irie Kanata patted his heart very exaggeratedly, as if he was really frightened.

However, who here doesn’t know that this draw is for the U17 German team?

Even the youngest Kintaro Toyama knew who the targets of their"ambitious" team were.

"So what if the German team is drawn, you don't need to play."

Coach Takushoku said with an indifferent look.

If they want to adopt the tactic of"showing weakness", then sending Irie, who has superb acting skills and strong eyesight, is definitely the right choice.

But the key is, they don't need to show weakness now!

So sending What's the use of Irie Kanata playing in the warm-up match? Irie's body is relatively thin among junior high school players... Forget it, Irie Kanata won't be able to show momentum when he plays.

Coach Takushoku thought this way, He glared at Irie mercilessly, telling him to stand aside, shut up, and stop causing trouble.

"then i……"

Yukimura Seiichi's eyes lit up.

Unlike Fuji Shusuke who was moved but still had concerns so he didn't take the initiative to speak for the time being, Yukimura Seiichi has a very proactive personality.

Although Yukimura is gentle, he is also strong.

The opportunity to compete with the German team is right in front of us, and of course Yukimura Seiichi will take the initiative to fight for it!

"You play doubles with me and come in second."

Byodoin Phoenix didn't show off. He said that he had already agreed on the arrangement on the way.

Coach Mifune sat aside and listened, neither nodding nor shaking his head - but by not speaking at this time, he clearly acquiesced to Byodoin Phoenix's arrangement.

"The second game...according to probability……"

Three data tennis players looked at each other and got the same result

"It is very likely that Q·P, the consultant of the U17 German team, will appear."

"Although the German team has not made it clear yet, looking at the situation of their team...the 'perfect quality' person ranks high in the team!"

Of course Nioh knows how terrible Q.P was in the U17 World Cup.

But he is very confident in the cooperation between Byodoin and Yukimura.

"……In this doubles match, it is best to force out the opponent's true strength, but not to allow him to be 'sublimated'’"

In the future of tennis, all the stars will shine brightly.

But there are always a few people who stand out among the stars -

Q·P, who currently plays for the U17 German team, is one of them.

The danger for the German team consultant is not only his own tennis level, but also his talent in tennis. Because of this, Nioh fully supports the arrangement of Byodoin Phoenix’s roster.

【At least... Byodoin-senpai’s matchup with Q·P won’t cause us losses before the match!】

Q·PAll"light" is, in some ways, more dangerous than"seamless". If it weren't for Borg, Nioh would have wanted to play a game with Q.P.

"I'm going to play the third game."

Nioh said very proactively. He mainly wanted to tell Coach Mifune and the others.

"Byodoin-senpai already promised me on the way back!"

The first doubles match was temporarily forgotten by everyone and left behind.

All the players, as well as Coach Saito and others, were stunned by their incomplete roster for tomorrow's warm-up match.

The strongest in the team Nioh, plus their high school captain and junior high school captain……

"Show your cards right from the start?"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke murmured.

However, his shock today has not ended yet.——

"In this case, can I play in the first doubles match?"

Fuji Shusuke, who is not weak in strength but has almost no presence in the fight for ranking, took the initiative to ask for a competition!

"……Don't look at me like that, I just want to use the game to verify my progress."

The three players who are confirmed to appear in the second and third games make the first doubles game that no one is paying attention to look like a pitiful one.

Thinking this, Fuji frowned.

"I! I want to compete too!!"

Toyama Kintaro also reacted, but he was a step too late.

"The first doubles match, Watanabe and Fuji."

Whoever takes the initiative first will play.

Captain Byodoin is very fair in this regard.

As for Duke Watanabe's thoughts……

"I'm OK."

Duke Watanabe is also well aware of his own"popularity".

Perhaps the audience has almost forgotten him, but players from various representative teams should still remember him as the former"King of Destruction" of the French team.

In the current situation where"all cards are almost revealed", it is necessary to preserve some"hidden strength""——For example, Oni Jujiro, whose legend is basically limited to Japan, and Shuji Tanejima, who is still floating on the sea.

"So, the high school players in the third game……"

Mori Juzaburo held out his chest reservedly, receiving unbearable looks from his colleagues and a slight dislike from Ochi.

Unlike Onijujiro, Tokugawa Kazuya, who knew that it was almost impossible for them to play, now that Nioh had already made it clear that he would play in the doubles and his opponent was likely to be Borg - the high school student quota for the third doubles, Maori is almost stable!

"Needless to say, Maori!"

Ochi was only slightly disgusted, but Coach Mifune's disgust was already overflowing.

——Who among those present now doesn’t know that you and Nioh have the best doubles team-up? What's more, you are still a high school player and comply with the rules of the warm-up match!

It is not easy to deal with Borg, who has not lost a single match since becoming a professional player, not to mention that they also want to force Borg to use his tennis skills as much as possible...

The only high school player who can cooperate with Nioh tacitly is Mori.!

"Mori-senpai, please~"

Nioh said with a smile to his high school senior.

【What is the name of the junior high school player who is partnered with Borg? 】

Nioh thought to himself - forget it, since I forgot my name and appearance, I won't think about it anymore.

Anyway, no matter who it is, the junior high school player from the German team is very unlucky!

【Tomorrow's third doubles match, although it's a doubles match……】

This is the first time Nioh has such a subtle emotion of"embarrassment"

【To be precise, it was me and Mori-senpai who played Borg together! 】

I once again apologized to the junior high school players of the German team, but Nioh still had no intention of holding back.

——He decided to defeat the opponent at the beginning!

As for the subsequent arrangements...
