The Great Demon King of Internet

Chapter 57, Guidance

Shortly after Setsuna left, Bertis unexpectedly returned.

Noah glanced at him: "Your timing is just right."

Berti snorted softly: "That guy must have been here."

"Yes, from the first scene to the last scene, do you really not want to meet him?"

Berti sneered: "I don't want to listen to his teasing here."

While speaking, he glanced at the scoreboard, then at the weights next to Noah, and narrowed his eyes.

"There is actually someone who can reach the tiebreaker with you? And you are forced to take off all the weights?"

Noah nodded: "It's Keigo Atobe, the director of Hyotei. Although I kept a few cards, he still forced me to increase my physical exertion for the last goal."

"Can your eyes still hold on?"

"Don't worry, if you use all your strength, you can at least last one battle."

Berti nodded: "Okay, before the finals, you don't have to play, just take a good rest."

Noah rubbed his eyes gently: "Aren't you going to play in person in the finals?"

"I have switched to doubles and will not meet that man again. In this case, there is no point in appearing."

"Then you are at leisure."

"I will not waste time for no reason. In the first two rounds, I met a peer who I care about very much. In the semifinals, I will try his skills."

"Oh? Since you said that, the opponent's lineup for the semi-finals is also in your calculations, right? No wonder the lineup against Hyokui is so strong today and requires us to end the battle directly in three games. Being valued by you, this Are there any great qualities in people?”

"Hmph! You don't need to know that."

Berti recalled Aogaku, the man who could freely control the rotating field.

I thought silently in my heart: If it was an elder brother, he would be more interested in him.

…………

The next day, the third round officially started.

"S3 singles, Shitenhoji, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Yamabuki Junior High School, Hata Setsuna, please be ready to play."

Hearing the names of the two sides, Zenzuki Taira, the director of Tentenhoji Temple, made an exaggerated grimace: "Hey! Shiraishi-san! You just met the big boss at the end of the stage!"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's really bad luck to meet the famous 'Demon King' even after being ranked three singles."

Yuan Zhe also patted Shiraishi's butt: "Little Shiraishi~~Don't let the devil scare you so much that you pee your pants~~But it doesn't matter if you pee~~because I'm wearing diapers today~~"

"Hey! Senior, you can't solve the problem of me peeing my pants even if you wear diapers! No! I don't know how to pee my pants!!"

Coach Watanabe Osamu held a toothpick in his mouth, shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, boys, stop making trouble. The first game can be said to be a lottery. Shiraishi, your opponent is very strong. Don't feel pressured, just try your best."

Just like that, Shiraishi came on stage amidst everyone’s joking.

Looking at the people in Tianbao Temple laughing and joking, Qianshi said speechlessly: "They... feel like they are a group of opponents with very strange personalities."

Setsuna chuckled and said: "I heard that the characteristic of Shitenhoji Temple is happy tennis, which suits my taste very well. I also like to play tennis happily."

Qianshi hesitated to speak after hearing this, with a painful expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Senshi? You look constipated."

"It's okay, Minister, please be gentle with him."

"Don't worry, he helped me after all. I just need to play a simple guidance game."

…………

The first set was decided by Setsuna Hatada.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke felt a little nervous.

This is the first time that he has played the important position of singles three in a major event such as the national conference.

In the first two rounds, either I was in charge of doubles, or I won the match without even playing.

Moreover, the opponent he faced was the "Devil King" who served extremely fast and had unfathomable strength.

I don’t know, can I see his instant serve clearly?

While he was still thinking wildly, Setsuna's serve was already released.

The speed of the ball was quite satisfactory, and Shiraishi subconsciously judged the landing point of the tennis ball.

After polishing his foundation day after day, Shiraishi's body instinct allowed him to automatically react in a counterattack.

And he was still thinking in his mind, why was the serve not as fast as expected?

After simply pulling on the baseline for seven or eight rounds, Shiraishi's nervousness slowly calmed down and he gradually entered a good fighting state.

Setsuna said gently: "Don't be nervous, then I'm going to put in a little more effort."

An extremely simple forehand return, the ball speed instantly exceeded Shiraishi's reaction limit.

"15:0"

Akutsujin shook his head. He couldn't react to the speed of this kind of counterattack. It was really weak.

Today he was assigned to singles one, and it seems he has no chance to play.

Then he left the court with his racket under his arm and went somewhere else to relax.

"30:0"

"40:0"

"Game, Setsuna Hata wins this game, 1:0, change of sides."

Shiraishi let out a breath.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree. It's really great.

However, it feels like there is no chance of counterattack.

When he passed the coaching bench of Shitenhoji Temple after changing games, Osamu Watanabe stopped him with a solemn expression.

"Xiao Baishi..."

"What's wrong, coach?" "Don't take chances. You are not his opponent. He is playing a coaching game with you."

"Guidance Bureau!!"

Shiraishi knows this term. This kind of game is played from the perspective of a teacher, while helping students to check for deficiencies and correct all deficiencies while fighting.

Shiraishi was a little unconvinced: "Coach, he and I are obviously the same age, no matter how powerful he is, he can't do this, right?"

Osamu Watanabe's vision was obviously much higher than that of Shiraishi. He sighed: "Unfortunately, I'm not kidding you. If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself. However, I still suggest you, this is a rare opportunity. Show what you don’t understand.”

At this time, the referee kept urging Shiraishi: "Classmate, we are still playing. Please get ready to serve."

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

Shiraishi was hesitant in his heart. He tapped the tennis ball a few times in the service area and looked at Setsuna on the opposite side.

Setsuna stood loosely and made a gesture of invitation.

Shiraishi frowned, threw the tennis ball high, and hit the backhand blind spot on Setsuna's side with an extremely standard side spin heavy cannon.

Qianshi praised: "What a standard action, it's exactly the same as what's shown in the textbook."

Setsuna strolled around the court, easily neutralizing Shiraishi's attack.

I thought that players with contradictory mental traits like Genichiro Sanada were extremely rare, but I didn't expect to see another one here.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke, the spiritual traits of two abilities, namely conservatism and innovation, are also contradictory to each other.

Because he is conservative by nature, he subconsciously chooses the most rigid and textbook style of play.

By polishing the foundation in this way, he can steadily improve his strength.

It can be said that as long as he has not trained to the upper limit of his physical fitness, Shiraishi Kuranosuke will not have a bottleneck.

But relatively speaking, it is difficult for Shiraishi Kuranosuke to make such an explosive performance as an on-the-spot breakthrough during the battle.

It can only be said that if there is an advantage, there must be a disadvantage.

The other type of spiritual trait innovation is interesting. It requires constant seeking changes and innovations and breaking the rules in order to achieve a leap in strength.

Looking at Shiraishi's current situation, it is obvious that conservatism far outweighs innovation.

Since in him, the spiritual quality of innovation is not bleak, it means that he has also tried this path.

He carefully considered the two paths and finally chose the conservative approach based on textbooks.

While still analyzing, Setsuna made an unhurried forward swing short.

Shiraishi, who was torn open a huge space, rushed forward to catch up, but unfortunately he came a step too late.

"Game, Setsuna Hata wins this game, 2:0"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke was shocked by the moment's ease and ease.

Even in the Kansai Conference, facing many powerful enemies, he never felt this kind of pressure.

Moreover, in the game just now, the opponent's counterattacks were just stuck at their own limit receiving distance.

It's just like measuring it in advance with a ruler.

Obviously if the angle is deflected by another 1-2cm, he can score easily, but he still leaves himself a chance to catch the ball.

Bai Shi's heart was full of mixed feelings.

Coach Xiu is right, this is the guidance bureau.

Haha, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Setsuna smiled and said: "For the sake of your kindness in reminding me of the lottery, I will give you some guidance."

"You have two good development paths, and I think you know them well."

“These two paths may seem in conflict with each other, but they can coexist.”

When Shiraishi heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "How can tradition coexist with innovation?"

"Don't be too pretentious. Remember, any innovation is not rootless, but is derived from tradition."

Tradition…derivative…

Shiraishi was thoughtful.

Then, a flash of inspiration occurred, and he seemed to have grasped something.

Shiraishi bowed to Setsuna and said, "Thank you for the advice, let's continue."

Setsuna teased: "Oh, I thought you would just admit defeat and use it as a thank you gift."

Shiraishi smiled happily and said: "Master 'Demon King' is joking, it's a rare opportunity to play against you. I also want to know how many shortcomings there are in the textbook fighting method I have always adhered to!"

As the battle resumed, Shiraishi put all his energy into this battle and put all his thoughts into this battle.

Constantly verify your own shortcomings and flaws.

Even if he keeps losing points, he doesn't care.

Is my backhand a little lighter on this shot?

During the serving phase, does your body move slightly to the left?

When the swing is short, the rotation of the tennis ball itself is not well resolved?

Setsuna looked at Shiraishi Kuranosuke who was learning humbly with admiration.

In just one game, Shiraishi's growth is visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, compared to Tezuka, Fuji, Atobe, Sanada and others, he has adapted best to Setsuna's rhythm-controlling style of play.

Because his foundation is the most solid among them, this also means that in regular counterattacks, he is forced to reveal the fewest flaws.

Unfortunately, the environment in Kansai is still too comfortable and does not give Shitenhoji enough competitive pressure to effectively stimulate Shiraishi's potential.

Let’s see if that guy Eishiro Kiten can grow up early. This will also increase the intensity of competition in Kansai.

After half an hour, the three singles gradually came to an end.

"Game, Setsuna Hatada wins, 6:0"
