I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

immediately.

A charred tennis ball rolled off Zeus's racket.

There were two very clear friction marks on the ground, representing that Zeus tried his best to resist the ghost in the duel, but was ultimately defeated and pushed out by the violent force.

watch carefully.

The shoes on Zeus' feet even had traces of burnt black. It was hard to imagine how much he paid to resist the ball from the devil.

"competition is over."

At the same time, the referee's voice rang out: "Japanese team's Oni Jujiro wins, the score is 6-0!"

Pfft!

The words fell.

Zeus's strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and he fell forward uncontrollably. Finally, with his last bit of willpower, he used the racket to support his body.

Everyone could see Zeus's hands shaking violently. At this moment, he was exhausted because of the violent hitting by the ghost.

"Lord Zeus?"

At this moment.

Apollo Stephanopoulos, who had just gone out for warm-up, returned to the court and happened to see Zeus in such a state of embarrassment. This outstanding junior high school student on the Greek team immediately felt his heart tremble and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Where was the crucial match in which the Greek team was supposed to make a comeback?

He also hoped that through this match, the name of his executioner family would be known to the world. And, he would use the singles 2 match to prove himself.

It ended right after I came back?

"Ok?"

Suddenly.

His eyes met with a boy with long blue-black hair and glasses in the Japanese team area. Seeing the other party's cold eyes, Apollo, the descendant of a family of executioners, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"That guy's eyes are so scary!"

This moment.

He suddenly felt somewhat relieved. He was relieved that Zeus did not win, otherwise, his ending might not be much better than the guys in the previous three games.

"huhuhuhu"

At this time.

Zeus, who was almost exhausted, gritted his teeth and walked to the front of the net. Looking at the tall ghost, he took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, who is stronger, you or your commander Ishikawa Shin?"

"Well"

No one would have thought that Zeus, who was known as one of the top geniuses in Europe, would ask such a question.

He could remain silent and not answer.

However, after seeing the other party's clear and slightly anxious eyes, Gui thought for a moment and said, "He is the strongest player on the Japanese team!"

"Thanks. I understand."

Zeus nodded heavily to the ghost, and his expression suddenly became melancholy. Then, he dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards the direction of the Greek team.

"Commander!"

Seeing Zeus's low spirits, Hermes immediately said, "Winning and losing is normal. Even a player like Novak Brynner cannot guarantee victory in all battles."

Zeus is only 15 years old. The next World Cup in two years will be his strongest form as a high school student.

Hermes, who is already 17 years old, does not want the failure of this game to undermine the self-confidence of his opponent.

"I know."

Zeus shook his head, but couldn't help showing a bitter smile on his face: "Senior Hermes, I just think... I am too naive."

"Commander!"

Hermes' expression changed again.

He clearly heard a hint of disinterest in Zeus' words. The man in front of him had completely lost his previous confidence and composure, as if in an instant, he had been knocked down from the invincible God King to the mortal world and turned into an ordinary person.

"Don't worry, I won't give up tennis."

At this time, Zeus shook his head and showed an expectant smile on his face: "With so many outstanding players, how could I give up something as interesting as tennis."

After this failure, his state of mind actually improved a little. On the basis of his original so-called omniscience and omnipotence, he took a step forward.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Having said that, Zeus turned his head and glanced at the resting area where Gui and the others were. He then raised his head and looked far behind, where Ishikawa and other representatives who had nothing to do with this competition were.

"This year's Japanese team is more terrifying than anyone else imagined!"

"The group match between Greece and Japan has now concluded. Japan won 3-0 and has 1 point in Group B."

After a while.

The referee announced the result of the match.

The fans of the Japanese team cheered excitedly, while the fans of the Greek team seemed extremely quiet.

but.

Perhaps because of Zeus's carefree performance, the Greek team lost the game, but the overall situation was not too depressing.

"Let's go."

Zeus, who had regained some energy, smiled and said, "It's time to go back and have a good rest. We have another match against the Australian team in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

Although they all knew that the Greek team would most likely be eliminated in the first round of the World Cup this year, Zeus' emotions could still infect them, and even the subtle influence was deeper than before.

the other side.

The [Ghost] team also joined Ishikawa and others under the leadership of the ghost. Because there was no game in the afternoon, the Japanese team returned to the hotel after the game.

Perhaps because of the victory in the first game, the coaching staff lowered their expectations for everyone. Mifune even made an exception, saying that as long as the players came back during the scheduled rest time, it would not be considered a violation.

then.

All the players praised the head coach for his wisdom and left the hotel one after another, wandering around Melbourne.

Of course, some people choose to maintain their training pace.

"Ochi-senpai, are you there?"

In the hotel corridor, a young man with silver-gray hair knocked on the door of a room.

"Please come in."

After a moment, a cold voice came from inside.

The young man, Shiraishi, the head of Shitenhoji Temple, opened the door and saw Ochi sitting at the desk in the hotel, reading a tennis magazine.

"senior."

After entering the room, Shiraishi walked up to Ochi and said solemnly, "I want to further improve my strength before tomorrow's game. So, I went to consult Ishikawa-kun. He told me that only you can help me, so please!"

Done.

Shiraishi bowed deeply to Ochi.

"Ishikawa?"

Yue Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then, he looked at Bai Shi again, and felt the sincerity in his eyes. He thought about it, nodded and said, "I understand."

Four p.m.

Court 14 at Melbourne Park.

The match between the host Australia (18) and Greece (10) ended in four games, with Australia winning with a total score of 3-1.

After the game.

The atmosphere of the Greek team seemed very low for a while. This meant that they not only lost in the first round of the World Cup, but also lost all three games, ending this World Cup journey in the most embarrassing manner.

"It's okay, guys."

Seeing everyone's low spirits, Hermes said, "I believe that this experience will make many of you stronger for the World Cup in two years!"

Apollo, Orion, Evangelos and others showed slight emotion. Many other first-year high school players also felt relieved.

Yes.

Although they failed this year, two years later, Greece U17 will be the strongest. By then, with Zeus's talent, he will definitely become a professional player in the true sense.

They, the Greek team, may even replace other teams and become the new big4!

"Tsk!"

But at this moment, a mocking voice extinguished their beautiful fantasy: "They are just a group of stray dogs. They can't even beat our second team, and they are still dreaming about the future. It's ridiculous!"

Swish!

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.

But they only saw a white young man with a crew cut and holding a Dalmatian, standing not far away, looking at them with contempt.

"What did you say?"

Apollo and Orion, who were from the executioner family, immediately glared at him.

"Why, are you so angry because I hit you in the sore spot?"

The young man with the crew cut, JJ Gorgias, the representative of the Australian team, said with a playful look on his face.

He was arrogant and overbearing by nature, and never showed mercy when speaking, especially to those who, in his opinion, were just making excuses to cover up their mistakes. Naturally, he would show no mercy when mocking them.

"Damn it!"

At this time.

Hercules was also angry. He took a step forward and stared at the other man fiercely: "You'd better take back what you just said, otherwise..."
