The view of the River Thames in the evening is stunning.
A leisurely atmosphere envelopes the buildings on both sides of the river.
Under the sunset.
Two figures were leaning on the guardrail helplessly.
"Is this already the tenth school?"
Keith leaned weakly against the guardrail, lowering his head and his eyes had lost their luster.
"Um..."
Lin Xiu, who was beside Keith, was silent for a while and then nodded.
He really guessed that they were banned by all the tennis clubs in London.
"Haha...what a bullshit genius, no one cares about us at all!"
Keith smiled to himself, recalling the ugly face of that guy back in his mind.
Can't tennis disputes be decided by tennis? Can you do whatever you want if you are rich and powerful?
Keith couldn't understand that those who praised him in the past were now avoiding him like a snake or a scorpion.
Those who once extended an olive branch to me have now closed their doors.
He and Lin Xiu had no way out, they had been abandoned by everyone.
He was banned by the entire London tennis community.
With all despair, Keith's heart began to sink.
Turning his head and seeing the endless water underground, Keith simply climbed over the guardrail and jumped down.
The splash of water made Lin Xiu's eyes widen.
"Keith!"
Lin Xiu was shocked. Looking at the calm water, he turned over and jumped down without hesitation.
Another splash of water appeared.
Lin Xiu dived underwater and found Keith quickly.
He lifted Keith to the surface and shook Keith's shoulders vigorously.
"Keith! Keith!"
Lin Xiu's call brought Keith's consciousness back to his body.
For the first time, Keith shed tears in front of Lin Xiu. The big boy felt desperate that he could no longer continue playing.
Lin Xiu was stunned, and soon he understood the reason for Keith's tears.
All this is caused by oneself.
At this time, a small boat rowed next to Keith and Lin Xiu.
"Need help? Friend!"
It turned out that An Shijin saw Keith and Lin Xiu climbing over the guardrail and asked someone to borrow a small boat to cross over.
Originally, An Shijin had the idea that saving a life would be better than building a seven-level pagoda, but when he saw their faces clearly with the help of the setting sun, he was a little stunned.
These two people are...Keith and Lin Xiu?
They brought Keith and Lin Xiu to the shore. Keith and Lin Xiu, who were sitting on the grass on the shore, seemed a little silent.
"Xiu! I have thought clearly, I want revenge!"
"I will never let those guys have it easy!"
Keith's voice was a little hoarse, and his words silenced Lin Xiu.
"Okay, I'll stay with you!"
Although Lin Xiu couldn't bear that the sunny boy turned into what he is now, Lin Xiu couldn't abandon Keith at this time.
It would be an understatement to describe the relationship between him and Keith as rock solid.
What's more, Lin Xiu always believed that the cause of this incident was because of him. If it hadn't been for him, Keith wouldn't have gone berserk at that time.
"What? Are you planning to fight violence with violence? Then you won't be able to participate in any competition at all."
An Shijin, who returned the boat, heard the conversation between the two. He came to sit cross-legged in front of Keith and Lin Xiu.
Keith and Lin Xiu used the afterglow of the setting sun to see An Shijin's face clearly.
Keith's original vigilance quickly relaxed a little.
Asians, then they are not with that group of people.
Keith knew very well the pride of those guys. The descendants of those noble lords would not play with Asians.
"Why don't you talk? Is it better to use tennis to solve the tennis issue?"
An Shijin tilted his head and smiled slightly.
Keith's face darkened upon hearing this.
"What do you know! If it could be solved with tennis balls, I would have solved them long ago."
Keith said angrily.
How could those guys be his and Lin Xiu's opponents? If there was a head-to-head competition, Keith believed that he and Lin Xiu could definitely defeat those guys.
But now people have made it clear that they will not give themselves and Lin Xiu a chance. They have been completely expelled from the London tennis world.
"What if I said I could help you? Would you like to come with me?"
An Shijin smiled lightly, and his thoughts moved the moment he saw Keith and Lin Xiu.
He had the idea of dragging these two people into Higa country.
Next year, Rikkai University, Hyotei, even Seigaku, and Shitenhoji Temple will become even more powerful.
And Higa Junior High School will undoubtedly be a bit weaker in strength after losing Akai.
This plus and minus will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Higa Junior High School.
So reinforcements are inevitable.
Keith and Lin Xiu are good choices, as long as they can be persuaded to go back to Neon with him.
Then Higa Junior High School's consecutive championship is a sure thing.
After all, Keith has the potential to enter the world.
...
Under the setting sun, Keith sat upright.
He looked directly into An Shijin's eyes.
"Who are you? Why do you think you can help me and Xiu?"
Keith's hoarse voice made Lin Xiu a little unbearable, but he also sat up straight to support Keith.
No matter what choice Keith made, he would face it together with Keith.
"Although I don't know who you are messing with, it must be very powerful to have all schools and clubs ban you."
"But no matter how powerful the other party is, it can only work here. The world is a big place."
An Shijin smiled slightly.
"you mean..."
Lin Xiu quickly realized what An Shijin was talking about, but he knew that Keith would not accept this suggestion.
Isn't this the same as losing the family dog?
"I will not run away, I must take revenge!"
As expected, Keith's expression immediately turned cold after hearing An Shijin's words.
He won't run away.
"I wonder if you have heard of the U-17 World Cup Open."
An Shijin smiled nonchalantly, of course he knew that it was not that easy to persuade Keith and Lin Xiu to go to a foreign country.
"The U-17 World Cup Open? You mean the U-17 World Cup Open that will be held in France this year?"
Lin Xiu immediately thought of something he had heard from Japan not long ago, that there were four talented high school students in this year's U-17 World Cup.
"Yes, I think it would be very satisfying to defeat your opponents on such a stage, right?"
An Shijin said with a faint smile.
"But doesn't the U-17 World Cup Open require players aged 15-17 to participate?"
Lin Xiu asked with some confusion.
This is the default age for participation in countries around the world.
"That's the case this year, but special rules will be changed for the U-17 World Cup two years later."
"Every team is required to have junior high school students participating, and there are quite a few junior high school students."
An Shijin smiled lightly.
"How did you know?"
Keith's hoarse voice sounded again.
"Don't worry about how I know. Just tell me if your opponent will be selected if junior high school students are allowed to participate. If so, I can arrange for you to play against him."
An Shijin smiled slightly, he had the confidence.
He will definitely be the captain of the junior high school students at that time. If he came forward to plead with me, I believe Mifune Irido would also give him the honor.
And Amuro is confident that Keith and Lin Xiu can defeat their opponents.
If you think about it, Mifune Irido wouldn't mind if you must win.
Keith looked at An Shijin's serious eyes and fell silent.
He is thinking about his future.
If he could indeed have fun for a while according to his original idea, but he and Lin Xiuke would really have no way to participate in any competition anymore.
Keith looked at Lin Xiu beside him, did he really need to lead his friend into the abyss?!
"No matter what you choose, I will support you!"
Probably aware of Keith's gaze, Lin Xiu held Keith's hand and said solemnly.
Lin Xiu had already made an oath when Keith was willing to contact him and teach him tennis.
I will definitely become friends with Keith forever.
Lin Xiu's words made Keith's heart even more confusing.
If it is true, as Amuro Jin said, that the U-17 World Cup Open two years later will change the rules and require junior high school students to participate, and there will be a lot of them.
Then the two guys who came from famous school teams will definitely be selected.
Although Keith and Lin Xiu would definitely have won the match if it had gone on, their opponents had finally reached the semi-finals of the British Youth Tennis League.
The level is certainly there, and the power behind those two guys is huge.
This can be seen from the fact that he and Lin Xiu were expelled from the British youth tennis community.
Power sometimes becomes a key factor in selection.
a long time.
"I can promise you! But before that, you have to show me what you are capable of."
Keith raised his head and sighed, and then his words made An Shijin smile.
He knew that it was not long before Keith and Lin Xiu joined their Higa Junior High School.
