Chapter 146: Life goes on, fighting never ends!
Standing at the top.
However, it seems that something is still missing in my heart.
Perhaps, it’s because this victory came too easily, so I don’t feel anything?
With such thoughts in mind, Oreki Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself.
This illusion of not knowing how lucky he is makes him feel a little guilty.
But soon, he realized the real problem.
His strength far surpassed those of his opponents, so much so that he was almost invincible in junior high school.
No one except Tezuka and Yukimura could win against him.
There is naturally no point in playing such a game.
Even his final opponent, Shitenhoji, was not someone he was afraid of.
"Perhaps, it's time to go to a higher place..."
I noticed that Oreki Yuu was a little absent-minded.
Yukimura couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's wrong? You don't look very happy after winning the championship?"
Upon hearing this, Oreki Yu asked back:
"You, too, don't you? You seem to be in a very calm mood."
Yukimura sighed softly, wondering if he was infected by Oreki Yu.
Obviously, winning the national championship was his goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, he should be happy, but now he doesn't feel that way at all.
"Maybe it's because there is no suitable opponent..."
He soon figured out the problem.
All the way to the national competition, Rikkai University High School had gone so smoothly that they didn't feel any pressure at all.
He played in quite a few games, but he won all of them with a big advantage.
Victory is certainly worth celebrating.
But a victory that is too easy is not enough to satisfy him, or rather, he wants to go higher and challenge stronger people.
"It seems that we are both similar."
"We, including Tezuka Kunimitsu of Seigaku, may have few rivals in junior high school. He will retire in his third year next year, but our tennis club will become stronger than this year. Perhaps, winning the national championship is no longer the end for us."
Oreki Yu smiled.
Yukimura's gaze had actually already been cast towards something further away.
This is really different from the person he was in the past.
Most likely, because of him, my strength has evolved ahead of time, so I have such thoughts.
Oreki Yu thought for a moment and suddenly asked:
"Yukimura, are you interested in yakuza tennis?"
"Yakuza Tennis... I thought you were going to keep this a secret from me."
Yukimura looked a little surprised, but not too shocked.
The last time he followed Oreki Yu, he already knew what kind of competition he was participating in.
"Did you really find out?...Yes, it's been so long, with your keen sense, you will definitely find out. To be honest, I have become a local force in the tennis of the underworld recently. The opponents I will meet in the future will probably be stronger. I need a partner to play doubles with me."
"I see. That's fine."
"...You agree so quickly? Don't you need to think about it again? This is quite dangerous after all..."
Oreki Yu didn't expect Yukimura to agree so quickly. After all, the nature of gangster tennis is different from ordinary games.
It's also more dangerous.
But Yukimura actually knew about it a long time ago and had been worried about it.
The main reason why he never exposed this matter was because he understood Oreki Yu's background. Some things, if not mentioned, meant it was not easy to ask, and this was also his principle in getting along with others.
Now that Oreki Yu took the initiative to bring up this matter, he actually felt relieved and naturally agreed immediately.
As for whether gangster tennis is dangerous or not, in Yukimura's opinion, this is not the key point.
In world-class tennis matches, players often have to risk their lives.
Yukimura had also made similar mental preparations a long time ago.
"No need to say more. Since you mentioned it, I'm willing to lend you a hand. Besides, I've been curious about that kind of competition for a long time. It's just right. It can be regarded as a chance to broaden my horizons!"
Oreki Yu was slightly startled.
He was surprised that Yukimura would accept it just like that.
It even seemed that he knew a lot about underworld tennis.
This boy looks quiet and gentle, but could it be that he has actually been involved in gangster activities?
I saw Oreki Yuu's confusion.
Yukimura smiled and explained the whole story to Oreki Yu, and Oreki Yu finally understood.
"So that's how it is. So you've known this all along?"
"Actually, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I was planning to go there and try to play the black net after the national competition was over."
"Okay... I was wondering why you had such an idea. It turns out it's my fault..."
Oreki Yu found that he had influenced Yukimura's life trajectory to a certain extent.
I don’t know whether this is good or bad.
But since it has already happened, let's just take it one step at a time.
Moreover, this change also makes Yukimura stronger. So far, it seems to be beneficial rather than harmful.
"Meet at my house tomorrow morning, and then we'll discuss this matter in detail."
"Should we call Sanada?"
Yukimura thought for a moment and asked.
Oreki Yu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, his current strength has just reached the national level, but the black network has at least national level players. He will probably suffer a loss against them. At present, it is relatively safe for you and me to participate."
"Ok."
After the two of them made the decision, the ceremony reached its climax.
The event was officially over only after everyone received their awards and took photos together.
The name of Rikkai University High School was registered on a flag and hung at the 99th position. There are actually 78 other flags in total, symbolizing all the colleges that have won the championship in the past. Rikkai University High School also left its own strong mark here.
This year's national competition has come to an end.
.......
The award ceremony is over.
Oreki Yuu held the trophy and went home with Akari.
Along the way, Akari seemed very happy and kept recounting the details of the game, especially the match against Oreki Yu.
Oreki Yu felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.
However, since he rarely saw his mother so happy, he listened patiently.
When we get home, we will celebrate today's victory.
Ming Lixiang was busy preparing a sumptuous dinner.
night.
Oreki Yuu lay on the bed, thinking about his future plans.
The national championship has been won.
Next, he should have a new goal!
The black network is naturally a channel. I heard that there are also international competitions later on.
But this is not the right way after all.
Key national events focus on international events jointly established between countries.
To participate in this type of competition, you need to respond to the call of the national training camp and stand out in the training camp before you can join.
For example, the U17 World Cup.
It is only the first year of junior high school now, and Japan’s U17 training camp is probably also in its initial stages.
If you go now, you will most likely be able to see the rising Byodoin Phoenix and Oni Jujiro.
“It’s decided! Next, I will play in the international competitions on the black net first, and then go to the U17 training camp to try my luck!
I wonder how much my current strength lags behind those guys?
Tsk tsk...
Tokugawa, Duke, Byodoin, Oni Jujiro... and other masters, wait, I, Oreki Yu, will be here soon!"
