Prince of Tennis: A new Hextech Crafting System is refreshed every week.

Kitahara Akira was exhausted. The intensity of the match against a player of the Tokyo Grand Prix level was far greater than any match he had ever played before.

Even though he didn't want to move a single finger, he still struggled to walk slowly around the court for about ten minutes.

Following the Yamabuki Tennis Club's tradition, after a match, players drink salt water to replenish lost fluids and eat a banana to restore glycogen stores. He then rested for a while, and after feeling a bit stronger, he got up and did a few sets of static stretches.

Although he was very tired, after completing this series of procedures, Kitahara Akira could feel that his body, which was in its prime of development, seemed to have become stronger.

After you've fully recovered.

He felt his mind had become clearer, and the details of the movements that he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

He held the racket and swung it gently.

Swish-!

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out.

Kitahara Akira could feel that his feet, hips, waist, shoulders, arms and other parts of his body formed a complete "kinetic chain" in that swing of his racket.

This state is no different from when he uses "Ghost Rope's Rampage Tennis Racket".

With just a casual swing, he executed the move with even greater fluidity and power than in the previous matches!

Kitahara Akira was overjoyed.

I never expected that a single match could bring me such progress. No wonder Ryoma Echizen in the anime grows so fast, he seems to change every single day.

Because of the match and the need to recover his strength, Kitahara Akira didn't get home until after 7 p.m.

Seeing his dirty appearance, Kitahara Misae quickly urged him to go to the bathroom to take a shower, while she went to the kitchen to heat up the rice and prepare to cook another dish.

When Kitahara Akira finished showering, she had already prepared the sauce, sliced ​​the meat, and finished the marinating process, ready to start making "Ginger Braised Pork".

"It'll be ready to eat soon, Xiaoming. Prepare the miso soup."

"Is it in the refrigerator?"

"Yes, this time I bought the sauce package."

Kitahara Akira took a packet of miso soup seasoning from the refrigerator. Misae had already boiled the water in advance, so all he had to do was pour the seasoning packet into the soup bowl and rinse it with water.

Wow!

Just as he was stirring the miso seasoning, Kitahara Misae started to heat the oil and poured it in. She first added the sliced ​​onions, and the water droplets on the onions fell into the oil, creating a series of sizzling sounds.

After stir-frying for a while, I saw the scallion strips turn translucent, so I set them aside.

Next, use the remaining oil to continue frying the meat slices. With a sizzling sound, the meat slices are fried until golden brown on both sides. Then, Kitahara Misae slowly adds the onion slices that were just served, pours in the remaining marinade, and stir-fries them over high heat to lock in the juices. Then, she adds the ginger paste, stir-fries them quickly and evenly, and removes them from the pan.

soon.

A common and popular Japanese home-style dish, "Ginger-braised Pork," is now ready.

Although the preparation process was not complicated, Kitahara Misae's orderly cooking method still made Kitahara Akira feel pleasing to the eye, and the rich aroma of the "Ginger Braised Pork" also whetted his appetite after a long day.

Whether in his past life or this one, he has absolutely no resistance to this kind of appetizing dish.

He picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and brought it to his mouth. The aroma of ginger, ginger, and meat instantly filled his nostrils. He took a bite, and the sweet and salty meat juice burst out between his teeth. Kitahara Akira's eyes lit up. He picked up more meat and ate three bowls of rice in one go.

The aroma of ginger paste neutralizes the oiliness of the meat slices, and the spiciness removes the pork's fishy smell, making it not only delicious but also not greasy at all.

A short while later.

The entire plate of braised pork with ginger was devoured by Kitahara Akira.

Actually, Kitahara Misae had prepared another meal, but it was served with several side dishes and rice. She packed it in a lunchbox and put it in the refrigerator. This was Kitahara Akira's lunch that she took to the Hisumikan Dojo the next day.

Seeing that Kitahara Misae was about to clear the dishes again, Kitahara Akira quickly got up and tidied the table ahead of time: "Isn't the Tokyo Broadcasting Corporation's TV program about to start? I'll take care of this."

Japanese housewives spend almost half their lives revolving around their families, and they are very likely to stay at home watching television.

I also like watching TV dramas at night the most.

Television stations naturally wouldn't let go of such a high-quality audience group. Various stations joined forces to produce a series of dramas specifically for housewives, which were broadcast in the evening slot.

Most of them are stories that revolve around family and life.

The anime that Kitahara Misae is currently watching is called "Stepmother's Witty Housekeeper," starring Yuki Uchida, Norika Fujiwara, and others. It tells the story of a prospective stepmother who hides her identity and enters a troubled family as a housekeeper to reform them.

The plot is funny yet heartwarming, which is exactly what Kitahara Misae loves.

However, her favorite type of actor is handsome male celebrities. As long as they are handsome, she doesn't care whether they are stylish men, fresh-faced young men, or male leads in tokusatsu dramas. This is exactly the same as Hiroshi Kitahara, who loves watching dramas with beautiful actresses, especially those with actresses like Norika Fujiwara.

So when they're at home, the two of them can actually enjoy watching family dramas together.

Wow~

After wetting the bowls and chopsticks with water, Kitahara Akira first rinsed off the grease, then added dish soap, washed them with a soft cloth, and finally rinsed them with clean water to make sure there was no foam or grease left on the bowls and chopsticks.

After washing, I drained the water again before neatly putting the dishes and chopsticks back in their original places, and finally dried my hands with a towel.

After doing all this, Kitahara Akira suddenly froze.

Looking at the still-childish face reflected in the kitchen's reflective tiles, then turning to look at Kitahara Misae, who was engrossed in watching an evening drama on the living room sofa, laughing heartily from time to time.

He... seems to be getting used to life here.

This week has passed.

His memories have completely merged with those of his predecessor. Some of the images that were blurry when he first arrived have now all come back to him.

to be frank.

Looking at the "self" in his memory, Kitahara Akira had a strange feeling that he might not have suddenly transmigrated, but had been reincarnated for twelve years and only recently awakened his memories of his past life.

He couldn't be sure, nor could he be certain.

Fortunately, he did not intend to investigate further.

"Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?"

These are Socrates' three ultimate questions, which have troubled countless people. Most of them never figured them out in their entire lives, desperately searching for answers, only to end up living their lives in a daze.

Kitahara Akira, however, thought very simply.

"I'm Kitahara Akira, and now I'm going to keep playing tennis!"

So he said.

"Mom, I'm going upstairs."

"Okay~"

......

late at night.

At this time, Kitahara Akira would usually be asleep.

But this time.

He sat quietly on the bed, moonlight streaming through the window onto his face. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked somewhat anxious, as if he were waiting for something.

[Relentless Strikes: Provides a 'Guinsoo's Rageblade'. Units wielding 'Guinsoo's Rageblade' deal additional magic damage with each attack.]

[5 minutes and 18 seconds remaining until the next Hextech spawn...]

......

3 minutes and 6 seconds left...

......

9 seconds left... 7 seconds... 4 seconds...

00: 00!

A new week has begun.

The gold card with the "Ruthless Combo" effect disappeared from the panel.

Then, three golden cards appeared in the air.

"Another golden Hextech?"

Kitahara Akira was somewhat surprised. He had prepared to choose one of the three silver Hextech items, but he didn't expect the 9% probability to be so high. Unlike some big companies that advertise a 95% probability of winning, he ended up only getting the guaranteed drop every time.

I don't want to think about these trivial things anymore.

Kitahara Akira took a deep breath, clearing his mind of distractions, and then scanned the contents of the card.

[Overhealing: Every third swing produces a 110% critical hit effect and restores a certain amount of stamina. Excess stamina will give the body a stimulating effect, with a small chance of entering a state of high energy.]
