Chapter 122 The first meeting with Ryoma

Summer vacation passes quickly.

Jin Anshi ushered in the third semester of his first year at Higa Junior High School.

After a summer vacation without seeing each other, naturally we all have a lot to share with our friends.

The classroom was so noisy that it looked a bit unpretentious.

But with the arrival of Anshijin, Mudou, and Kai, the classroom immediately became quiet.

Everyone still remembers An Shijin's bold words at the beginning of school.

At that time, no one thought that An Shijin could fulfill his oath.

But now, banners showing the tennis club winning the national competition can be seen everywhere on campus.

Everyone in Higa Junior High School knew that the tennis club had successfully won the national championship this summer.

Obviously, Anshijin has become a famous person in the entire Higa Kingdom.

afternoon.

The tennis club, which had been dormant for a summer vacation, is back to life again.

On the first day when the members came to the tennis club, they went to the club office to enjoy the prizes for the winners of the national competition.

The second and third grade club members had tears in their eyes. Before this, they had never thought that one day their tennis club would actually win the national competition.

Members also work particularly hard during club training.

From now on, they are also the number one club in the country, and they cannot lose the face of Higa Junior High School Tennis Club.

"By the way Amuro, you should start your school trip this month, right?"

Originally, Amuro, Kite and Akai were watching the hard training of the club members, but suddenly Akai thought of something.

September and October are the days for school trips for first and second grade students.

"Um."

An Shijin nodded, they were indeed going to start this year's school trip.

"Then have you decided where to go?"

Akai asked.

"I plan to visit the venues of the four major tennis Opens. The first stop should be the United States, just in time for the US Open."

An Shijin smiled slightly.

"What about you, Mute?"

Akai nodded, then looked at Kite.

He was wondering whether Mu Shou would choose to go with An Shijin.

Mu Shou was silent for a moment. He really wanted to go on a study trip with An Shijin.

But throughout this summer vacation, Kite has been training hard with Kai, Taira Furuba and others.

Although they didn't say it, they were still worried about the fact that they were left far behind by An Shijin.

It can be said that the youthful spirit is most vividly reflected in a few people.

"I plan to go to Celestial Kingdom to study martial arts with Kai, Heikoba and the others."

In the end, Kite decided not to go with Amuro.

Because he felt it.

An Shijin seems to have become stronger after not seeing him for a summer vacation.

An Shijin became stronger faster than himself, Kai, Ping Furuba and others.

So Mu Shou must seize every moment and work hard to become stronger.

After hearing Mu Shou's choice, An Shijin's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. He was also looking forward to the changes after Mu Shou and others returned.

Their tennis is originally Okinawa-style martial arts tennis. After absorbing the essence of other martial arts schools, Amuro Jin believes that they can become stronger.

Mu Shou made the right choice when it comes to martial arts.

What other country is better than the Kingdom of Heaven in the East?

The campus, which had been lively for a while, soon returned to tranquility.

As a rule, most schools arrange school trips for first and second grade students in September and October every year.

The only ones left are the third grade students.

The tennis club was also temporarily handed over to the management of Akai and Aoi Hanamura.

Most of the first and second grade club members have begun their study journey.

...

New York.

An Shijin, who came to a foreign country alone, was walking on the street.

After hailing a taxi, An Shijin came to the accommodation.

After hastily putting down his luggage, An Shijin went straight to the US Open venue.

He has already booked tickets for the US Open.

The competition between professional players makes An Shijin very excited. For him, being able to appreciate the high-level professional league at this stage is of great help to him.

Today's match made An Shijin fascinated, because it was no longer a qualifying match for the US Open.

Formal competitions are more brutal and the level is higher.

After watching today's game, An Shijin walked out of the venue with some unsatisfied feelings. Along the way, he was recalling the game just now.

Suddenly, An Shijin realized that he seemed to have bumped into someone.

"Sorry sorry."

An Shijin apologized repeatedly in fluent English. He knew that he was too obsessed with replaying the game in his mind.

An Shijin raised his head and was stunned. The blond man in front of him was so familiar to him.

"Ralph Reinhardt?!"

An Shijin blurted out, and his words also stunned Reinhardt.

Because Reinhardt doesn’t remember knowing An Shijin at all.

An Shijin's appearance features are too obvious.

This is obviously an Asian player.

But Reinhardt remembered that he only knew one player from Asia.

"Hello, do you know me?"

However, his excellent self-control allowed Reinhardt to suppress the doubts in his heart, and his smile was always so charming.

"My name is An Shijin, I'm glad to meet you. I've heard of your name, and I think you are the most underestimated player among the participants in this U-17 World Cup in France."

An Shijin said with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your compliment."

Reinhardt was also smiling, and he didn't seem to feel any displeasure about not being favored by others.

In fact, the entire European tennis world is now touting the four most talented high school students from the BIG4.

But they all ignore the brilliance of others.

That’s all for Byodoin, the current Neon U-17 is still the bottom team.

Reinhardt of the US team has also been ignored, which is very intriguing.

After all, the US team's ranking is not low, so it stands to reason that Reinhardt should have already entered the attention of the world tennis community.

Unless... someone deliberately concealed Reinhardt's existence.

An Shijin's mind was filled with ideas, and he quickly thought of some possibility.

I can only say that the power of money can change everything.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Reinhardt!"

The distant voice told Reinhardt that it was time to leave.

The time given to him by the U-17 coach was very limited, so he had to rush back.

"Sorry, I have to go. If we have a chance next time, let's get to know each other better."

Reinhard left in a hurry after leaving a few words.

Although he thought this was rude, he really didn't have time.

Reinhardt doesn't know why the coaches are restricting the personal freedom of their players the closer it is to the start of the French U-17 World Cup.

If it weren't for the start of the US Open, Reinhardt wouldn't even have a chance to come out of the U-17 training camp.

And he is also the only one who can come out to watch the US Open.

Looking at Reinhardt's retreating figure, An Shijin shrugged. They would indeed have a chance to meet again.

But then they will become enemies.

...

The US Open matches are held every day, and An Shijin arrives on time every day to watch.

However, he did not run into Reinhardt again in the next few days.

Soon the US Open match came to an end.

The final championship was won by Spanish star Nadal.

Although the US Open match is over, Jin Amuro has not left the United States.

Because immediately after the US Open, there is the US Junior Tennis League.

Yes, it was the game where Ryoma chopping melons and vegetables continuously won the championship.

If Amuro Jin remembers correctly, Ryoma should have won two consecutive American Junior Tennis League championships.

This year will be the third year that he has won the US Junior Tennis League championship.

Originally, the U.S. Youth Tennis League did not attract too much attention, but the organizers were very stupid and moved the competition time after the US Open.

In this way, the spectators who are attracted to New York by the US Open matches will most likely watch the US Junior Tennis League.

...

"you are way behind!"

When An Shijin heard the young Ryoma say his catchphrase in an extremely arrogant manner in the front stands, he couldn't help laughing.

Is this the young version of the arrogant prince? It’s so interesting.

However, the intensity of the US Youth Tennis League also surprised An Shijin.

Are these really the best junior tennis players in the United States?

The strength is so weak.

It’s no wonder that the youngest Ryoma won the championship for three or even four consecutive years.

It would be won by Kevin Smith later.

An Shijin rubbed his chin, could it be that all the real good prospects have been hidden?

Because this is not a primary school competition, the age of participation in the Youth Tennis League is under 14 years old.

...

the other side.

Ryoma, who won the championship again, slowly walked out of the venue from the player tunnel while holding a trophy bigger than his head.

Nanjiro and Renzi have been waiting in the parking lot for a long time.

"Well done, brat, I won the championship again."

Nanjiro took the trophy from Ryoma's hand. Although it was only a championship trophy from the American Junior Tennis League, it made him more excited than the championship trophies Nanjiro had won himself.

"Tch! They are still far behind!"

Ryoma curled his lips arrogantly, he really felt a little tired of it.

Why are the opponents so weak every time?

"Haha, you brat, you have such a bad tone!"

Nanjiro laughed, as a father he knew very well about Ryoma's temperament.

"Nanjiro-senpai."

Just as the family of three was about to go home, a voice suddenly stopped Nanjiro.

Is that... neon language?

Nanjiro turned around and saw a boy who looked a few years older than Ryoma standing behind him.

"You have the wrong person, I am not Echizen Nanjiro!"

Nanjiro deliberately changed his voice. He has not appeared in front of the world for a long time.

This time is no exception.

"Ah..."

An Shijin looked helplessly at Nanjiro, who was deliberately being funny in front of him. He had actually made preparations for this.

The power of Asura Shinto began to emerge, and this familiar breath suddenly awakened the memory in Nanjiro's heart.

His expression changed instantly, and it was so strange that even Ryoma felt strange.

"Dad..."

Ryoma was stunned. Nanjiro's current appearance was unprecedented in his memory.

Takeuchi Renko took Ryoma's hand and patted it.

"Son, this is what your father really looks like."

For Renko Takeuchi, this is the man who conquers her.

Legendary player and samurai--Echizen Nanjiro.

"Huh... who asked you to come."

Echizen Nanjiro let out a breath, the past has finally passed.

Now he is no longer the warrior who conquered the world, but a father who hopes that his son will succeed.

"No one asked me to come. I just thought of you after watching Ryoma's game."

An Shijin smiled slightly.

He also had a sudden idea to come and meet this living legend.

"Boy, come up and have a chat."

After learning that An Shijin's arrival was an accident, Nanjiro was obviously relieved. He got into the rented car and waved to An Shijin.

An Shijin took the opportunity to sit in the passenger seat, while Renko Takeuchi sat in the back with Ryoma.

On the way, Nanjiro asked Amurojin some domestic matters.

He has lived abroad for a long time and has not been back for a long time.

"Tch! This guy Mifune is now the head coach of the U-17?"

Nanjiro curled his lips disdainfully.

It was obvious that there was some unhappiness between him and Mifune.

"How about Qingxue?"

Nanjiro finally asked about his alma mater. He wanted to know if the old woman was still coaching young people at Qingxue.

"Qingxue... They have welcomed a group of very good newcomers this year, but you know the tradition of Qingxue."

"Although Coach Ryuzaki made certain changes, it didn't help. They fell in the first round of the national competition this year."

An Shijin said calmly.

Then he added in his mind.

"I killed them."

Hearing this, Nanjiro fell silent.

"It's been so long, is this old woman still so stubborn?"

What Nanjiro didn't expect was that after all these years, Qinggaku still insisted on the rule that first grade students must pick up balls.

He shook his head helplessly. He had experienced Sumire Ryuzaki's stubbornness.

However, the results in the first round of the national competition were also good. It seems that Qingxue has been doing very well in recent years.

Then his plan can almost be put on the agenda.

At least that's what Nanjiro thinks.

...

Several people soon returned to Nanjiro's residence in New York.

This is the house that Nanjiro bought in New York when he was at his most prosperous, so that he would not have to stay in a hotel when he came to participate in the US Open.

But Nanjiro doesn't come back here very often.

"I'm going to cook. Let's eat here tonight."

It was rare to meet a fellow countryman, so Renko Takeuchi naturally wanted to treat him well.

Seeing this, An Shijin had no choice but to agree with a smile.

"Dad, I want to challenge you!"

After returning home, Ryoma challenged Nanjiro as usual, which is what he would do every time he won the junior tennis league championship.

He and Nanjiro have also gotten used to each other.

There is a tennis court in the backyard of the house, and this is where Ryoma challenges Nanjiro every time.

An Shijin stood on the sidelines and acted as a referee. He also wanted to see Ryoma's current level.

After watching it for a while, An Shijin had to admit that inheritance existed.

Ryoma was already at a good level when he was in elementary school, roughly estimated to be at least close to the Kanto level.

Considering Ryoma's age, being able to do this is considered a natural talent.

The game ended quickly. The game between Ryoma and Nanjiro was purely an adult beating a child.

An Shijin could clearly see Ryoma's face turning red when he was stimulated by Nanjiro's verbal attack.

That came out of anger.

"hateful."

Ryoma seemed a little depressed after losing the game again, but he quickly cheered up.

Probably because he is used to failure when facing his father.

"Boy, do you want to come and play."

Perhaps the previous memories aroused the greed in Nanjiro's heart. It had been a long time since he had competed with a high-level player.

Although An Shijin looks a few years older than Ryoma, the aura of Asura Shinto cannot be faked.

How weak will those who master the Asura Shinto be?

Hearing this, An Shijin's eyes lit up.

Being able to fight against the legendary samurai is a dream come true.

The little Ryoma was still depressed about his failure, but for some reason he saw that his father was going to compete with the big brother who broke out halfway.

Although this is the first time Ryoma meets An Shijin, Ryoma's intuition tells him that An Shijin is... very strong.

...

"Boy, I'll give you the opportunity to initiate."

Nanjiro pulled his shoulders casually, which was considered a warm-up.

Even if An Shijin had mastered the power of Asura Shinto, Nanjiro didn't take it to heart.

Nanjiro, the person who has reached the extreme on this path, naturally has such qualifications.

Nanjiro looked through the window at Renko Takeuchi in the kitchen, and it seemed that the time was almost up.

"Boy, just hit one ball. Remember, you only have one chance."

Nanjiro smiled faintly and crouched down.

The match with Ryoma already took some time, and it would definitely be unrealistic to finish a whole set with An Shijin.

So Nanjiro directly pointed out that this was a competition for a ball.

He was telling An Shijin to take action with all his strength.

Nanjiro also wants to see the level of these young people in the country today.

"clear!"

An Shijin smiled and nodded, even if it was just one ball, it didn't matter.

He was already content to see the tennis played by the legendary samurai Echizen Nanjiro.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

An Shijin gently pressed the tennis ball in his hand. Since he only had one chance, he had to use all his strength.

A bright light shone across the audience, and the power of Asura Shinto roamed in the heart.

An Shijin is already familiar with how to use these two powers at the same time.

The sudden momentum startled Ryoma, and he quickly took a few steps back.

"What happened?"

Ryoma's little head was full of greetings, and he didn't understand why An Shijin suddenly glowed.

Nanjiro glanced at Ryoma, and his evaluation of Anshijin increased a bit.

Seamless, Asura Shinto.

This was the first time Nanjiro saw someone mastering these two powers at the same time as him.

"Are all young people in China so brave now?!"

Nanjiro couldn't help but think of Mifune Irido, who was the head coach of the Neon U-17 training camp.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

Could this be the credit of that guy?

He couldn't accept it.
