Tennis: My Body Is The Sheath Of The Sword! I Am The Sword Bearer On The Court!

0096 Beijiang: I want to join this expedition! Beat Camus!

45 minutes later.

With Toyama Kintaro and Tachibana Yoshihei sitting on the court panting.

The result of this training match ended with a score of 7-5.

The winning side was the partnership of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Akutsu Jin.

And!!

In this game, three consecutive hits were not completely the standard!

When the game reached the middle stage and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Beijiang increased the number of hits required to four consecutive hits~!!

At this stage, the difference in the mastery of multi-ball consecutive hits also appeared.

Among the four people, Tezuka Kunimitsu is undoubtedly the most solid in the mastery of multi-ball consecutive hits.

Although Toyama Kintaro and the other two can also complete it, they are still a little worse in the quality of the hits and the stability of the ball trajectory.

“Ahhhhh!! Too hard to play!! Brother Tezuka, you can actually perform a field rotation when hitting four balls in a row!!”Toyama Kintaro pouted and said.

Although he was complaining, he had to admit that he was indeed far behind Tezuka Kunimitsu.

As the winner, Akutsu Jin did not look happy or proud.

On the contrary, he had already silently reviewed the game in his mind.

Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at the three people from Kitakyo outside the court.

Obviously, he knew that the outcome of this game was not important.

What was important was…

Standing next to Beijiang at this time, the vice-captain of the U-17 team from the United States gave his evaluation of their strength.

Outside the court,

Hopkins’ expression was already complicated.

What the hell?……

He suddenly felt that he and Reinhardt were simply labeled as”stupid” clowns.

The four junior high school students in the court in front of him.

Each of them had such strength and talent.

It was a waste of time for him to come to Neon specially!

“How about it? Can these four people pass the sponsor’s standards?”Beijiang turned his head and looked at Hopkins beside him, and asked lightly.

Hopkins’ eyes twitched slightly.

“Northern Xinjiang……If they don’t pass those guys’ standards, I can’t think of any other middle school student who would be more suitable than you!!”

“We have also roughly screened the American junior high school students before, but compared to them…….The difference is not just a little bit!”

Beijiang and John heard his answer, and a smile appeared on their faces.

The other party’s answer was completely within their expectations.

It was indeed as the other party said.

With the talent and strength shown by Tezuka Kunimitsu, it would be difficult to find a junior high school student who could suppress them in all aspects…….

That’s really impossible!!

“Let me introduce you to them formally!”

Beijiang took Hopkins to the training field.

Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other four also focused their attention on Beijiang and the other two.

Of course!

Most of them stayed on the unfamiliar face of Hopkins.

The vice-captain of the U.S. U-17 team

“Introducing Alan Hopkins! Vice-captain of the U.S. U-17 national team!”

“He came to Neon this time to take a look at your general situation!”

“But, to be honest, you are only barely qualified now!”

“There is still a long way to go before you can truly join the U-17 team and become a player who can play in the U-17 World Cup!”

Kitakami’s words made Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others look solemn, and they nodded in conviction.

Hopkins subconsciously glanced at Kitakami who said this.

Good fellow……

When did I say barely qualified?!

But he also knew that this was just Beijiang’s way of stimulating the four middle school students in front of him.

Then he also cooperated and said softly:”Everyone! There is still some time before this year’s U-17 World Cup! I believe you can still meet the standards for joining the team!”

“Hope everyone will do their best!”

The tacit understanding between playing the good cop and the bad cop was undoubtedly demonstrated at this moment.

This made Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others have a good first impression of Hopkins.

Even the”thorn” Akutsu Jin did not say much, but just stood silently in the team.

And Toyama Kintaro couldn’t help but ask:”Then what kind of strength do we have to reach to be able to join the team and play in the game?”

Hopkins was about to answer him, and Kitakami said again:”You will know when your strength is enough! Take the time to rest and start the next training!”

As he said, he motioned to John to take Hopkins away first, and he would wait to find the two.

And Toyama Kintaro and the others could only nod silently, turned around and sat in the rest area beside to adjust their status and prepare for a new round of training.

After John and Hopkins left, Kitakami walked towards Echizen Nanjiro who was lying on his side on the other side of the training field.

“A legend is a legend, and his level of pretending to sleep is also top-notch!”

“What? Are you still worried that the U-17 team will find out that you help train junior high school students?”

“They should thank you!”

Kitakami sat next to Echizen Nanjiro and spoke slowly.

“”Hey!”

Echizen Nanjiro stretched and sat up, yawning.

“Isn’t it better to have less trouble than more?”

“I don’t want so many people to know that I’m here to teach you ball!”

“Besides! I just lost the bet with you, not to thank the U-17 team! They have nothing to do with me!”

Echizen Nanjiro said, his face straightened

“The training of these four little guys has exceeded expectations!”

“However, with the release of the new rules, that old man Mifune will definitely target them sooner or later!”

“Are you sure they will follow you to the U-17?”

Beijiang chuckled and shook his head:”Except Tezuka and Xiao Jin! I really can’t guarantee that Akutsu Jin and Tachibana Jiping!”

“After all, nothing is certain.���Variation is the norm!”

“but……As long as they are not stupid, they should make the right choice!”

Echizen Nanjiro couldn’t help but tease:”Follow you to join the U.S. U-17 must be the right thing to do?”

Beijiang did not comment

“At least the U.S. U-17 is a relatively better starting point! As someone who has played in the world’s professional leagues, you should be very clear about this!”

“Given the status of Japanese tennis in the world tennis arena, even if you were a brilliant player back then, the difficulty of becoming a professional player is not just about personal strength growth!”

“More help from outside! Enough to help a player avoid many detours!”

“You can even save a year or two!”

“One more year or one less year……Totally different!”

“Not everyone can be like you, who can maintain such a good physical condition in his thirties!”

After listening to this, Echizen Nanjiro sighed and nodded.

He knew that Kitakyo was right.

For a tennis player, time is sometimes more important than talent.

“Well, one week has come!”

“It’s about time for me to go back and ring the bell!”

“But, don’t slack off, kid! Compared to how far these little guys can grow, I want to see what kind of surprises you can give me!”

Standing up, he patted the dust on his monk’s robe and looked at Beijiang again.

Beijiang also stood up and faced Echizen Nanjiro’s gaze.

“From the first time I held the racket, I knew that one day I would ask you for the sword!”

“And I also know that the match a week ago was not your full strength!”

“You only showed the samurai sword, but not the power of the samurai itself!”

“Maybe next time……”When I am confident that I can face your full strength, we will have another good fight!”

Echizen Nanjiro’s eyes flashed with anticipation.

Just like the match a week ago.

When he saw Kitakyo open the prototype of the Ten Directions Sword Force in the other dimension, the anticipation burst out in his heart.

This process of watching the opponent grow to match himself is also a special experience for Echizen Nanjiro now.

“Then…..Waiting for you! But you have to hurry up!” (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“Please don’t make me wait too long! Otherwise, I will become an old man! That would be a pity…….”

After that, Echizen Nanjiro waved his hand with his back to Kitakyo, and walked out of the training court step by step.

His leaving figure was also seen by Tezuka Kunimitsu and others. They stood up from their seats one by one.

Although they had some”negative” emotions towards this wretched middle-aged uncle Echizen Nanjiro.

He hit them hard during this week and assigned them extremely heavy training tasks.

They almost tasted what real cruel training was during this week.

But it cannot be denied that what the other party taught them and pointed out their weaknesses and defects.

All of these have made their strength improve qualitatively.

Deep down, Tezuka Kunimitsu and the other three still have respect and gratitude for each other.

A few minutes later.

Under the shade of a tree in the Fudomine Tennis Club.

Kitakyo, John and Hopkins stood facing each other.[]

“Northern Frontier, John! I never thought you would find so many talented junior high school players in Neon!”

“Don’t worry! Reinhardt and I will make those high-ranking officials and sponsors shut up!”

“However, I’m afraid you need to pay more attention to their training during this period!”

Beijiang waved his hand indifferently:”No need to talk about this! By the way……You said before that the next expedition target is the French U-17?”

Hopkins nodded immediately:”That’s right! Originally, the top four teams didn’t have to participate in the expedition! Reinhardt also challenged them with the idea of giving it a try!”

“But I didn’t expect them to agree!”

“Moreover, because the target is the French U-17 team, Reinhardt, as the main player, still has to go to France first! Otherwise, he should be the one coming today!”

Beijiang narrowed his eyes:”Is that so?……Hopkins! Since I have a surprise for you today……So as friends! We are also members of the U-17 training camp in the United States!”

“I have a request for you, is it not too much?”

Although Hopkins was a little surprised that Beijiang said this suddenly

, he did not even think about it and said immediately:”No problem! Just tell me if you have any request!”

Beijiang’s mouth corners immediately rose.

In the stunned eyes of Hopkins, he slowly said:”I want to participate in this expedition against the French U-17 team! And……I want to fight Camus!”

“Huh?!”

Not to mention Hopkins’s subconscious”ah”, even John looked at Beijiang in surprise.

“Beijiang! What will happen to the tennis club after you leave?”

“Don’t these little guys still have to participate in the Kanto Conference? Although there is still time, if you leave, they may not be able to concentrate on training!”

John’s worry made Beijiang shake his head and said softly:”John! It’s not like I won’t come back! Besides, what do you mean they won’t have the heart to train if I leave?”

“What? Do they need me to watch them pick up the rackets for training?”

John spread his hands to indicate that he would not talk anymore.

Hopkins was stunned.

Hey, hey, hey!!

Is your focus not right?!

Although it seemed a little sudden to him that Beijiang was going to participate in the expedition, it was not unacceptable.

How should I put it.

Beijiang was also a junior high school player of the U-17 team of the United States this year.

In addition, Beijiang had left a reputation around the world after three years of wandering. Even if it cannot be said that all U-17 teams in various countries know about it.

But at least it is now the focus of many teams.

There is no need to hide it.

Let Beijiang participate in the expedition, and it can also prevent those U-17 teams that still have small ideas and want to find ways to pry Beijiang away.

But the key is……

Beijiang said he wanted to play a match with Camus!!

The captain of the French U-17 team!!

His personal strength is truly world-class.

This is a match that is obviously impossible to win…….He felt that this was not a good thing for Northern Xinjiang!

Besides!

Even if it was against the semi-finals of the French U-17 expedition, he and Reinhardt did not want to lose.

“Northern Xinjiang……I can promise to let you go to France with me! I believe Reinhardt will not object!”

“But! The Battle with Camus……I can’t decide!”

“You may have to discuss this with Reinhardt in person!”

Hopkins spoke in a deep voice after thinking and hesitating.

Beijiang expressed his understanding that this kind of thing is definitely not something the other party can agree to right now.

Even if the U.S. U-17 will most likely be ranked fifth and become one of the 32 teams selected for this year’s U-17 World Cup!

It can also be said that it is the team with the best expedition results among the 28 teams that advanced, except for the four teams of Germany, Switzerland, France, and Spain.

But!

This expedition against the French U-17 will definitely be watched by many teams.

If they lose, the momentum and influence caused by the U.S. U-17’s efforts to join the team will be completely wiped out.

Because what matters on the court is strength after all!

In the eyes of the outside world, as a junior high school student, his strength and talent are very strong.

But if the level of the high school students in the team is not good enough……

The U-17 team of the United States will not be able to make it after all!!

If they win the expedition match against the French U-17 team,……

Everything is completely different now!!

First, there is the momentum created by joining the U-17 team of the United States.

Then, the whole team has the strength to rival or even defeat the semi-final French U-17.

Momentum + power!!

In this year’s U-17 World Cup, the influence of the U-17 team of the United States will be no less than that of the semi-final teams!!

This is also a good opportunity to build morale for the entire team!!

And this expedition against the French U-17.

For Beijiang itself, it is also a good opportunity at the right time!!

After the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword was blessed, the transformation of the different dimension from its prototype to the phantom required a game that Beijiang could take seriously.

Echizen Nanjiro was qualified, but the second game between him and the opponent was definitely a state of going all out for both sides.

Reinhardt didn’t need to do that either, after all, the relationship between the opponent and himself was a friend and teammate!

If it was used to sharpen the sword……

Still need to find a suitable opponent!

And Camus is a particularly suitable candidate!!

World-class level.

His influence in French tennis is no less than the praise Reinhardt has received in American tennis.

Even better!!

After all, Reinhardt has only recently taken over the position of the head coach of the U.S. U-17.

When Beijiang wandered to France, he also wanted to find a chance to meet Camus, a tennis player who is romantic to the core.

Unfortunately!

The other party was not in France at the time.

So, this trip is imperative for him!!

“That’s it! I’ll book a flight now and leave this afternoon!”

Beijiang said as he asked John to gather all the people in the Fudo Peak tennis club. He was leaving but he didn’t leave the mess to John alone without saying a word!.
