It was hard to imagine that someone as narcissistic and gorgeous as Atobe Keigo would put such a stupid fool in an important position.
However, not long after the match began, I realized that I had misjudged him again. This man was actually a master of imitation. He had completely copied Echizen's skills and unique moves, causing this match to become a tug-of-war. At the same time, it had also caused a lot of psychological pressure on Qingxue.
Burg and the others did not seem surprised at all. It seemed that they had already known that this would happen. That was right, Master Long Qi had said that Frost Monarch and Qing Xue were old rivals, so it should not be difficult for them to defeat him.
Time slowly passed!
"Senior, how did you beat Hua Dichong in the past? Why isn't Echigeon counterattacking?" To be safe, I asked Burg who was beside me. After all, the outcome of the competition was related to my tuition fees for the next few semesters.
"He probably hasn't thought of a way yet!”Burg said softly, but his eyes were fixed on the arena." Hachi is very simple. He doesn't have any extra concerns or strategies, but he can replicate them perfectly. Other than Tezuka, Qingxue, and his other matches, we are always the losing side."”
"Ah? How did the minister defeat him?" I was really curious. To be able to defeat such a clone expert, the minister was indeed not simple. It seemed that if I were to play against him in a double, it would be a little difficult to use Lost.
Burg smiled and glanced at Tezuka, who was beside him, before he slowly said," In the match three years ago, it suddenly rained heavily halfway through. Tezuka's experience far exceeds his.”
“……!”I understand. When it rains heavily, the elasticity of the ground will change due to the moisture of the rain. The ball will become heavier after it is wet, affecting the elasticity, direction, and control of the ball. Therefore, experienced players have a big advantage.
Looking up at the sunny sky, Burg sighed." It seems like it won't rain today!"”
“……!”The corner of my mouth twitched. That wasn't the main point. Did it rain every time Hua Dichong competed?! The heavens wouldn't dislike him so much, right?
"Jing seems to be a replication expert as well. Do you have any good suggestions?!”Burg suddenly spoke, as if he was not just casually speaking.
I lowered my head and thought about it seriously for a while. Mine probably couldn't be considered a complete copy, but it wasn't difficult to deal with a copycat player. As long as one could completely understand the strengths and weaknesses of one's own unique skill and combine it with one's own physical characteristics to find the opponent's ever-changing weaknesses, it would be fine to counterattack.”
"Huh? Tell me more details."
" This…Take Senior Kikumaru for example. He is known for his agility. Because of his light body and agile movements, he can play tennis that is known as the 'dance style.' If this Hwa Tei Tsung were to use the method of copying, he might be able to suppress Senior Kikumaru at the beginning. However, there is a difference between him and Senior. His body is not as light as Senior Kikumaru's, nor is he as agile as Senior Kikumaru's and has excellent dynamic vision. Blind copying will definitely consume a lot of his physical strength. At the same time, it would also cause a burden on his eyes. This would become his weakness in that match. After all, a copy was only a fake. How could it be better than the original?!”
His replication wasn't like my " Lost ", which could adjust the state of his body to the same level as the other party. That way, he naturally wouldn't have to worry about his own weakness due to this difference.
Sometimes, the difference between people could be very scary.
The mirror kept reflecting a cold light that was difficult to look at directly. Kikumaru fell silent into her own thoughts, while Hai Tang stared at the stage with a dark expression. Tezuka did not react in any particular way, but Buer's expression turned extremely strange as he stared at me. After a long while, he finally said," No wonder... this is what Teacher Long Qi had said about 'super active mind'. Although it was a very simple theoretical analysis, none of us had thought of it.”
“……？？？”My head was filled with question marks as I blinked innocently. I had no idea what he was talking about!
What a strange person!
Perhaps because he heard my irresponsible explanation, Echizen Ryoma started to use his " Tornado Smash " crazily. Hua Di Chong also copied it. At first, it was fine, but after a few tries, the difference between the real and the fake was obvious.
The more he went forward, the fiercer and more excited he became. The lethality became stronger and stronger, and there was a faint trend of breaking through. However, because Hua Dichong's arm could not withstand the small ball, the power of the "Tornado Smash" was getting weaker and weaker. In the end, he even smashed the racket.
However, he didn't give up. He just shook his elbow, picked up the racket, and continued. It was still a copy, still a stack of Tornado Smash, still a smashed racket, still picking up the racket and continuing…
His expression didn't change at all. The initial sneer in my heart slowly turned into surprise. Doesn't this man know pain?! After being smashed so many times, did he not feel anything at all?!
Qian, who wasn't close to me, suddenly adjusted his glasses and said," Frost Monarch's Hua Dichong is a terrifying opponent in some aspects. He doesn't seem to know pain, fatigue, or emotions. He obeys Atobe's orders without any complaints or resistance. Although he is rude, I have to say that he is a man who only knows how to be loyal.”
Foolish loyalty…What an annoying word!
I turned my head and looked at Atobe, who was sitting in the Frost Monarch's seat. He didn't have any special reaction, but he was focused on the stage. He had put away his previous arrogance and arrogance. Although he didn't look too good, he still maintained his composure.
Hua Dichong's racket was knocked away a few times. Even I could feel the pain and burden on his arm. However, not only did he not show any expression, even Atobe's face only became uglier and more serious!!
Why? Why didn't they stop him from competing?! She could only watch helplessly as his arm was injured and even destroyed. Was this what they called companions and friends?! Truly…disappointing!!
From the corner of his eyes, Burg saw that something was wrong with my expression. He asked worriedly," What's wrong? You don't look too happy?”
I glanced at him and said in a calm voice," It's nothing. I'm just more certain of my understanding!!”
Forget it, I don't know this Haki Takashi anyway, and I don't even care about Atobe. What am I worried about here?!
At this moment, I, who was emotionally unstable, didn't notice the worry in Burg's eyes!!
Hua Dichong still persisted in his replication, not caring how much pain his arm was in or how many times his racket was smashed. At this moment, the entire arena was silent. The audience was probably sighing and admiring his persistence. I just stared coldly at Atobe in the distance, but his attention was completely dominated by Hua Di.
Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and his firm voice resounded throughout the entire court." Birachi, this is enough…If you don't want to be unable to play tennis in the future, don't persist anymore. The loss now is just for the sake of winning back in the future.”
“……!”Hanachi picked up the racket and turned around to look at Atobe on the rest area, but all she got was his firm gaze.
Hua Dichong was silent. I couldn't tell if he was happy, but I could feel a trace of unwillingness from his slightly clenched racket.
It turned out that he was not just blindly loyal. He was not completely without feelings and thoughts. At least, he still had a little passion and care about tennis. Otherwise, he would not have persisted until now.
In the end, Hachi Takeshi still lost, not only because of Atobe's words, but also because his hands were shaking so much that he could not hold the racket tightly. Echizen's last " Tornado Smash " shocked the audience and ended the match.
Looking at the distant Atobe, whose expression was gradually improving, I felt a little confused and doubtful…Did he not care about Hachi's arm, or did he understand the passion hidden under Hachi's wooden expression for tennis…Or was he just trying to show his superiority and leadership position…The arrogant and narcissistic Narcissus Peacock?!
No one could answer my doubts, and no one could guide my confusion. Therefore, I could only bury them in my heart and quietly wait for the day when the answer would appear.
