Chapter 8 8 Gathering
Chapter 8 8. Gathering
"You want to join the tennis club?"
Akashi looked at the yellow-haired boy in front of him with dark circles under his eyes and who had not slept well at all and was surprised.
"Yes!"
Putting the application form in front of Akashi, Kise answered without hesitation.
He was so excited about tennis yesterday that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Yeah"
Sitting in the club room, Akashi didn't agree immediately.
Since Midorima, Murasakibara, and Aomine came, there are already seven people in the tennis club.
If you don't count the substitutes, the conditions for the competition have been initially met.
Two pairs of doubles, three singles.
As for whether more people will be needed in the tennis club in the future, Akashi doesn't care much.
In his opinion, only special people are qualified to join the tennis club.
This is what he thought after seeing Shiratsu, Kuroko, Kagami, Aomine, Murasakibara, and Midorima.
If you follow a bunch of water dispensers who can only be cheerleaders, it's better not to do it.
He had already rejected many ordinary students who tried to come to the tennis club and some seniors who tried to fish in troubled waters and put on airs.
Before the tennis club was rebuilt, these people would only treat the tennis club as a joke. Once the tennis club had hope of reconstruction, they would come over shamelessly and try to get a seat.
Rather than wasting words with such people, it is better to reject them from the beginning.
"Have you played tennis before?"
"Uh, no."
Akashi's sudden question almost silenced Huang Lai.
"But I will definitely learn quickly!"
"I am best at imitating!"
Realizing that he seemed to be a layman in "zero-based tennis", Huang Lai opened his mouth to try to make a good impression.
He knew that the red-haired little man in front of him was the head of the tennis club, and he did not dare to neglect him.
"Really."
"Come with me."
After a moment of silence, Akashi stared at Huang Lai's anxious expression and spoke as if he had thought of something, then stood up and walked towards the door.
"Huh"
(Did you pass?)
Kise was relieved for a while, and hurriedly followed.
After walking for a while, Kise found that Akashi brought him to the tennis court.
"Kuroko, your opponent is here."
Shiratsu, Aomine, Kagami, Midorima, Murasakibara, and Kuroko, who were taking a break, turned their attention to Kise when they heard Akashi's words.
"Yo!"
"Huh? Who are you?"
"I'm in the same class with you!! Kise Ryota!"
Aomine was sitting on the ground, and suddenly saw Kise greet him, and he frowned and became puzzled.
Until Kise started to explain, Aomine vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the same class.
"New here?"
"Is he the opponent of Kuroko?"
Compared to Shiratsu and Midorima who said nothing, Kagami and Murasakibara looked at Kise with strange eyes.
"What's wrong?"
It was a bit strange to be stared at by others, and Kise didn't figure out why for a while.
"Please teach me more."
"Ugh! Wow!!!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and Huang Lai fell to the ground in shock. He was relieved until he was sure that he had not seen a ghost.
He patted his chest with lingering fear, put away his inner fear, and stood up from the ground "as if nothing had happened".
(What's wrong with this person?)
Then both sides walked into the venue and started the game.
"Pah!"
"Swoosh!"
"Hey!"
"Ha!"
"Is that guy imitating our previous moves?"
"I said it felt a little familiar"
"Although it's not very standard, it's barely decent, but the strength and speed are completely different."
Hearing the conversation between Qingfeng, Midorima and others, Shirazu stared at Huang Lai for a long time and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In his opinion, Huang Lai is simply an alternative.
Although his movements look immature now, Huang Lai's every move is full of a certain "realm".
It may really be true that Huang Lai is the weakest or the strongest one in the miracle.
His talent for imitation is actually directly equivalent to the state of no self.
What does this mean?
This means that Huang Lai has maintained the BUFF of the state of no self in his daily life.
But there will be no problem of rapid consumption of physical strength.
You should know that there are only three junior high school students who can use the state of no self at present.
They are Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichirō, and Tezuka Kunimitsu.
The first two gave up because they found the side effect of rapid consumption of physical strength, and there was no significant increase at all. Tezuka Kunimitsu gave up because he had a stronger thousand hammers and hundreds of training.
It can be said that Huang Lai's starting point in the "state" has surpassed many people.
"3-2!"
But as he watched, Kagami completely lost interest.
"Ah, so boring."
Yawning, looking at the awkward game, Kagami really thought that if these two people came together, he could beat 6-0.
"Kuro is much weaker than I thought."
Tearing open the snack bag, glancing at Akashi who didn't speak, Murasakibara spoke mercilessly.
"I remember that guy has never played tennis before, right?"
"Kuroko's performance is too much."
Aomine looked at Kuroko who was completely behind and couldn't help but wonder.
Although he often saw Kuroko following Akashi and Shiratsu before, these two people didn't seem to dislike him at all. He thought Kuroko was quite capable.
But after actually playing against Kuroko, he realized that he had thought too much. It was not until today that he saw that Kuroko had such a fate when playing against a novice. It was really a bit wrong.
Midorima pushed his glasses and did not add insult to injury. Although he had not been in contact with Akashi and Shiratsu for too long, he also knew the personalities of these two people.
If Kuroko really had no "value", he would not have stayed in this tennis club long ago.
"End!"
"Kise Ryota! 6:3 win!"
As the referee, Momoi still declared this game.
"Great! I won easily!"
"Is this the first victory?!"
Although he felt that this opponent was not very strong, Kise still waved his arms happily.
"Tetsuya, can you still play?"
But surprisingly, Akashi asked Kuroko, and his expression did not change.
"Yeah"
Although he lost to Kise, Kuroko did not care much. He also knew that his strengths were not in singles.
Doubles is where he should really go!
He needs. Light!
"Take a break."
"Later, Shirazu, Tetsuya will play doubles with Kagami and Aomine."
Akagi knew it was time for these people to realize Kuroko's true strength.
Before, because the time was not right, he did not arrange doubles, but now it is different.
Kise's arrival seems to be able to make up for their last section.
Akagi has already vaguely sensed Kise's unique potential.
In this case, it is time to seriously settle the accounts. It is time for everyone to know some of the details of each other and bring them closer together.
I believe that after this doubles, the new Teikou Tennis Club is truly established.
