Those eyes gazing at the blue sky, reflecting the wonderful blue of the clear sky.
"Ah." Nathan sat down on the piano bench across from Archer, "It's time to go back to Kanagawa." He'd only had two days off from Dylan, and if he didn't get back to training, he'd probably get a lot of snarls from the Vice Minister. Well, probably more than that, he also wanted to save his face, it would be really bad if he got beaten up.
All the exercises, no compromise at all.
"Thanks." Archer smiled as he took the glass of water, and it was clear from these small everyday things that Nathan was a very gentle and considerate person.
Archer did not fall asleep for long, and when he opened his eyes, a breeze of Nathan passed by, blowing away the summer heat and bringing a refreshing coolness.
Shaking out the folded clothes he had just taken out, Nathan put them on one by one in a relaxed mood, and then looked in the mirror to straighten his outfit.
"No, this t
"The lottery?" Hearing Hersh say that, Nathan also had a rare interest, although he had already participated in one national tournament, but the last national tournament and this one are completely different, even if the official opening, this one is already known as the once-in-a-decade group meeting, this draw will gather all the tennis department heads or important people in the country, such a scene, can not be seen."Nathan, Nathan senior?" Louis Ruiz, who had just been confident, stumbled.On the day of the National Junior High School Tennis Championship, the weather was sunny and cloudless.This is their glory, not to be given to anyone, ever!The two of them said cheerfully, smiling together with a rather gloomy smile."Yeah." Nathan followed Dylan's lead and went to sit a few rows back, "Don't pay attention to those people." Nathan doesn't give a damn about people who have the courage to speak up but not the courage to admit it.
The moment his companion turned his head, he drew a breath, "I've seen these guys before, they were at the nationals last year, they're the strongest guys in Zeach, how come they're here together?" After a pause, when he saw one of them, he couldn't help but exclaim, "That one, that one, the minister of Zeach!"He doesn't know why, but there is an inexplicable feeling of pride.Five games, all wins, the opponent did not get a single point, but Minister Archer is still not so satisfied, "Even if it is the first game, but everyone is playing too slow."Nathan turned around and said, "Is the real Harvey Morse, much stronger than what I've seen?" He had seen Harvey Morse and Gary Bowers fight, and even with an injured elbow, he was still able to take on Gary Bowers without losing to Nathan, but hearing Dylan's words, it seemed there was something he didn't know."Kinte Nagashiro," Hersh looked at the field where the match was about to begin, "the man who firs
Finn Porter's mouth quirked up in a smile, his eyes arched in greeting as he waved towards people, the teenager's smile was calm and elegant, the intimacy that only comes from seeing a close friend.So Nathan's eyes, which had been softened in an instant, nodded distantly toward Finn Porter.The chatter also reached the ears of Maximilian Butler, who was watching the game from around the stadium."That hurts, Carter." Seamus Madden screamed, clutching his head, and then, still slightly reining in his voice, "But, but it really doesn't look like it."Having a good opponent is crucial to a player's progress."Every time I see Finn Porter greeting Nathan San," Seamus Madden has recovered from the blow of dryness, but this time he doesn't dare to whisper, "I think Finn Porter is great.""Is that guy the minister of Zeach?" Maximilian Butler's first year trio had never seen Archer before, and Seamus Madden pointed to the man with a surprised expr
Louis Ruiz pointed a thumb at himself, "Zeach sophomore ace, Louis Ruiz Akira."Then he saw Nathan turn his head with a cold face, "Very funny."Nathan withdrew his gaze from the public sign, "Here it comes."As it turned out, all of the schools had not yet decided on a winner, except for Zeach, which was shown to have advanced, and the rest of the tournament was postponed to the next day.Now, more than ever on the field, no one will react quickly when attacked at the dead center, as long as the dead center, even Dylan probably can not do anything, so Archer found the moment, and stopped the game.Louis Ruiz, in fact, was not lost at this time.By the time Nathan and Louis Ruiz arrived at the game, they heard a loud cheer, "Gary Bowers, Gary Bowers, Gary Bowers...""The other schools' games are probably not over yet." Hershson looked at the weather, "I don't know if the game will go on, or be postponed until tomorrow.""..." L
"Shitenboji is indeed a very powerful opponent, but, " Nathan raised his head slightly, the summer Nathan brushed his hair, the young Nathan is in his prime, his eyes calm and uncompromising, "the national competition final field, Zeach waiting for Maximilian Butler.""Hmm?" Finn Porter looked up in confusion, and met Nathan's cautious expression, "What's wrong?" Then, Finn Porter was also a little surprised, Nathan's expression, not often seen.But as a senior, Nathan how to expect more of his own junior."No!" Shiraishi flatly refused, as the minister, he had to control this group of problem children, especially those like Kintaro.Kintaro Toyama didn't mind even if he stared, he didn't care about that and went to pester Echizen again, "Echizen, come and fight me, fight."Louis Ruiz was immediately relieved to hear, "I told you, how could there be any poisonous hands.""Toxic hands, that's a lie." Louis Ruiz squinted at Whitehead's bandage
"There is no absolute strength," Nathan reached out and stroked Louis Ruiz's hair, "only the strength to keep getting better." That's why he's never been a believer in the ultimate in perfection. In his eyes, there is no such thing as the ultimate, only the ever-improving tennis. This is what he has learned after living two lifetimes. It was also the source of his confidence that he would never be afraid to step on any court, that he was strong, and that, through hard work, he would become even stronger."Bastards, those Americans, coming to a Japanese college game!" Louis Ruiz shouted in displeasure as he came off the field."Game over, Zeach Affiliated High School, Hersh Student wins, 6-1."As the outside helper hired by Nagoya Startech to deal with Zeach, his strength is not weak, even better than many of the school's players. In order to let Louis Ruiz play, Nathan left the offensive reins to the little kelpie and played defense.To be called Zeach's
"Yes," standing next to Louis Ruiz, Nathan was as cold as ice, not shaken by the little kelp's misery, "if that's all you can do, you can't win against anyone!" So, think about it, this way, is not the only way to win, to be stronger, you have to learn to control your instincts, "You are so weak when you can't even control yourself, when you play with your body instincts.""I want to know." Louis Ruiz asked persistently."Grab, grab the ball and play..." Andy's bubble burst with a pop, "Nathan and Akoya are playing with the ball!" If it wasn't for the fact that it was happening right in front of him, and he was so sure that his eyesight was fine, he would have suspected that he was dreaming, that Nathan was stealing the ball with his partner on the court."Carolinas, Moran wins, 4-2."Unexpectedly, Louis Ruiz broke away from Nathan's hand, ", what are they talking about?"Nathan glanced over at him, and I thank you, Hershson.", I win." Loui
Shiraishi, who had only the last ball left to win, froze, then stopped moving, reached out and touched his hair, "You know him too. Well, you're both from Shloma, so it's only natural that you know each other," said Shiraishi, sinking his face, "but you two are completely different types of players." He had always thought that Finn Porter might be on Harvey Morse's level, but he seemed to be wrong. Nathan, on the other hand, was a formidable opponent that he would look forward to fighting as well."Can you still move?" Nathan walked from the court to Louis Ruiz, "It's your serve, just serve the ball to the other court." The man who had blocked out the sun against the light looked taller when he bent down."It's me again." Kayden Carter said this with a tone of resignation."Well, Ecstasy!" Whitehead placed his fingertips between his eyes and lifted his chin slightly.Finn Porter slips and falls to the ground as he chases the ball.As the match prog
