Chapter 39 Clear Awakening
The next day.
Yukimura arrived at the tennis club before 6 o'clock and started special training alone.
The time spent on physical training increased, as did arm strength training and reaction training. He increased everything he could think of.
But even so, he still felt that something was missing.
"What should I do to surpass him?"
With this question, Yukimura trained himself while looking for the answer.
In fact, even with his calm personality, he was somewhat unwilling to lose to Oreki Yu.
After all, he had come this far, from obscurity to gaining the title of Son of God, all by relying on himself.
At the age of elementary school, he can easily defeat junior high school students, and so far, he has never been defeated by his peers.
Such an honorable record is not something that ordinary people would have.
But this honor was shattered yesterday, shattered by the thundering power of that young man.
Yukimura knows that it is meaningless to cling to past honors. He must keep moving forward and become stronger, so that he can regain his pride!
However, the strength that Oreki Yu finally displayed was clearly one level beyond him!
What exactly should be done to acquire the strength to shake the 'Wuxiang Yidao'?
As I was thinking, I heard footsteps behind me.
Yukimura looked back and saw Oreki Yu holding a book in his hand and reading as he walked into the door of the tennis club.
"Good morning, Oreki-san."
"Well, morning."
Oreki Yu nodded, then put his books into his bag and began to warm up in preparation for his workout.
Yukimura looked at him and thought of many things about him at once.
Oreki Yu's training content is diverse and the amount is also astonishing. Even what he has to do every day is not just exercise. He also reads books, studies, and earns money part-time. At the end of the day, there are three important things to do, which also leads to his limited training time. But the outrageous thing is that he has done more exercise in a shorter time!
To be honest, this is a bit inhumane.
During this period of time, some people have thought about following his exercise footsteps, but without exception they have all failed.
Marui, Yanagi, Jack and others had to give up after a week due to physical reasons. Sanada, who was in better condition, persisted until the third week, but was finally too exhausted to move and had to give up.
Yukimura himself never thought about following Oreki Yu's special training from the beginning to the end.
Everyone has his or her own way, and it cannot be forced.
But now, he felt that this approach was somewhat arrogant, and others would not wait for you to come to him step by step.
Maybe it was difficult to understand why Oreki Yu could persist in this inhuman training.
But after fighting with Oreki, Yukimura understood the reason.
This is probably due to his strong mental strength. It's not that he can't feel the pain of this process, but he endures the pain with a spirit beyond ordinary people and persists.
If there is anything outstanding about this guy, it is probably his will to win that seems to never be extinguished...
"Willpower... am I lacking this too?"
Yukimura thought for a long time, but finally chuckled and denied the answer.
He also longed for victory, and in this regard, he believed that he was no weaker than anyone else.
For him, only victory can bring true joy!
"What I lack may just be a kind of awareness..."
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze towards Oreki Yuu who was already doing his morning jog, a kind of tenacity revealed in his brown pupils.
It is a kind of tenacity that seems like having found the goal, being very clear and without any confusion!
"A clear awakening..."
He stood up, took a step forward, and chased after Oreki Yu's figure.
In the next few days, everyone was surprised to find that Minister Yukimura's training rhythm seemed to be surprisingly similar to Oreki Yu's.
Although the two people's training content is different, the quantity and speed are almost the same.
There seemed to be some secret competition between the two of them, and they never missed a day of training.
This situation also makes everyone curious.
Did something happen between these two people who are recognized as the strongest in the tennis club?
"Yukimura has become a completely different person in this period of time, completely different from before..."
Sanada said thoughtfully.
Marui agreed with this very much. Even though he was a thick-skinned person, he still noticed something wrong.
In the past two days, the two of them have been eating and drinking at about the same frequency.
"Tell me, did something happen between the two of them?"
"...I don't know, but it's not easy to keep up with Oreki's anti-human training pace. I don't know how long Yukimura can hold on."
"With Jingshi's mental strength and will, he must be stronger than us. I guess these two people may have competed in private. Didn't they not compete in the last match of the selection competition?"
Yanagi Renji analyzed.
"Now that you mention it, it is indeed true. And a few days ago, I saw that the two of them seemed to be adjusting their condition. Could it be that... they have already competed without us knowing?"
Marui's eyes widened, and then he had a worried expression.
It seems like something interesting has been lost.
"How cunning! They didn't even inform me of such a competition..."
Sanada looked at Yukimura on the court, who was gritting his teeth and persevering even though he was sweating profusely.
This was different from the impression he had of Yukimura, who was always elegant and calm.
"So it seems that the loser..."
Yanagi Renji nodded, thought for a while, and then said:
"It seems like we can't be so leisurely any longer, or we might be left further and further behind by these two!"
"Tsk... With these two perverted guys around, it really makes me worry..."
Marui covered his forehead with his hands and looked like he had a headache.
Sanada clenched his fists and frowned under the brim of his hat.
"I'm still too lax..."
He then ran onto the court and followed Oreki Yuwa's training pace.
Yanagi Renji and Marui looked at each other, and finally followed reluctantly.
Rikkai University's special training never stops.
While the young men were pouring out their passion, undercurrents from all over Japan gradually began to surge.
A month later.
The regional qualifiers of the Junior High School Tennis League have officially begun.
This competition is an annual event for every school’s tennis club!
There are even more people who regard participating in competitions, winning, and finally advancing to the national competition and reaching Koshien as their dream!
This is just like the blood needs to be tempered before it can boil.
At this point in time, the atmosphere in each college began to become tense.
However, this does not include Rikkai University...
It’s not that they look down on this competition, but because their current strength is too strong.
As a result, regional-level competitions are simply not of their interest.
"Can't we just advance directly to the national competition?"
Marui curled his lips and said with a bored look on his face.
