Chapter 198 Showing Strength (1)
The muscular man's words rang in Echizen's ears, and then the mocking laughter of him and his followers also rang in the venue.
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Echizen Ryoma slightly raised his lips as if he had thought of some good idea, and said to the strong man in the lead, "Then, do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing Echizen Ryoma's words that sounded like an invitation to an invitational competition, the strong man in the lead showed confusion in his eyes. However, thinking of the opponent's great reputation, he imagined that after defeating the opponent, he might be able to join the representative team and become a formal member. The man also readily agreed to Echizen Ryoma's invitation.
Several people who agreed to compete with Echizen Ryoma took him to the venue dedicated for the reserve training of the M country youth representative team.
But when he got here, Echizen Ryoma realized that this guy was one of the twenty-four people that Ralph said he needed to defeat.
Before arriving at the base, Echizen Ryoma asked Ralph Reinhardt what steps he needed to take to get a spot.
And Ralph also told Echizen without any concealment that currently, the M country team, including Echizen Ryuya, has set 13 places, and the last place requires Echizen Ryoma himself and the other 24 members. The champion and runner-up selected from each continent compete for each other.
After returning to his thoughts, he looked at the muscular man in front of him and then at the surrounding members, Echizen Ryoma raised his eyebrows.
Seeing Echizen Ryoma being brought by the muscular man, other people on the court also remembered the rumor that the talented player from Country R was going to join the Country M team, so they all focused on Ryoma Echizen, who was the protagonist of the rumor.
……
After a while, a large number of people fell down on the court. Standing on the court with a racket in hand, Echizen Ryoma sighed helplessly and said, "Is this all you have?" There was still some unfinished meaning in his tone.
"..." The strong man who led Echizen to this stadium was furious when he heard this, "Let me teach you! You brat!"
Unfortunately, although the strength of the strong man was much stronger than the others who had fallen to the ground, it was not worth mentioning to the re-evolved Echizen Ryoma. In just ten minutes, the strong man was beaten until he was half-kneeling on the ground.
Looking at such an opponent, Echizen Ryoma still did not forget to sarcastically say, "Thank you~ I just finished my warm-up exercises." Then when he turned to leave, he did not forget to say his mantra, "There is still a long way to go!"
Maybe this sentence is the switch that turns on the anger in the heart of a strong man!
After hearing Ryoma's words, the strong man suddenly stood up and rushed towards Echizen's position with the racket in hand. He looked like he wanted to commit murder with the racket.
At this time, Echizen Ryoma, who sensed the danger, directly hit the tennis ball at the switch that controlled the lifting of the net.
The net fell directly to the ground. The strong man who lost the net and could not control his diving force fell directly to the ground.
Echizen Ryoma's words of "calm down" are still echoing in my ears.
At this time, applause came from the side. Rocky Melody, wearing a black T-shirt, came over, talking full of surprise that Echizen defeated Max Weir, who was known as the "Runaway Train".
It was also at this time that Echizen learned the name of the strong man he defeated. But this is not a very important thing. Echizen thought for a while and focused his eyes on the person in front of him.
……
After a while, the two began to compete. For Echizen, Rocky Melody was a somewhat difficult opponent.
When Echizen Ryuya followed Ralph, Chico and Dudu to the arena because they had not waited for Ryoma for a long time, what they saw was the scene where the battle between Echizen Ryoma and Rocky was about to end.
With the arrival of Long Ya and others, Echizen Ryoma looked at the somewhat difficult opponent in front of him and jumped up. Under the sunlight, Loki seemed to see the shadow of a samurai appearing behind Echizen Ryoma...
As Echizen Ryoma yelled "Samurai Slap", the game ended. Echizen Ryoma defeated Rocky Melody. The gasping Echizen Ryoma squatted on the ground, while Rocky Melody was already refereeing. The moment it was announced that the game was over, he lay down on the ground.
Looking at Rocky who fell to the ground and other people scattered around outside the field, Ralph's gentle voice rang in the ears of Dudu, Chico and Echizen Ryuya, "It seems that the fourteenth spot has been filled with the most suitable ones." Someone has been chosen~"
"Oh~ Congratulations! Ryoma" Chico immediately expressed his congratulations to Echizen Ryoma after hearing Ralph's words.
Echizen Ryoma said matter-of-factly, "It's nothing." Then he turned around and pointed his racket at Ralph and the others and asked, "So, who will compete with me next?"
"You are different from these guys, you are real masters!" Looking at the few people who were silent, Echizen Ryoma pointed to the reserve army lying on the ground beside him, and then continued.
Chico sighed and advised, "Forget it, Ryoma! You have already spent a lot of energy..."
Echizen Ryoma didn't speak, but the stubborn expression on his face told everyone that he still wanted to compete.
At this time, Dudu Obondu moved his hands and feet and said, "I'll do it!"
"Dude!" Chico shouted in surprise.
However, Dudu ignored him. Instead, he looked at Echizen Ryoma and said, "The rules are simple. The first one to reach seven points wins. How about that?"
"Okay." Echizen Ryoma agreed without hesitation.
Hearing Ryoma's decisive answer, Chico, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but cheer for him, "Come on Ryoma, beat Dudu to pieces..."
"I will defeat everyone!" Encouraged by Chico, Echizen Ryoma accepted it without hesitation and stated his goal.
Echizen Ryuya, who was standing aside and heard Echizen Ryoma's words, also raised the corners of his mouth.
……
After the two were ready, the game began quickly.
The match between Dudu, who has super jumping ability, and Ryoma Echizen, a genius from Country R, attracted a lot of attention. Although the game the two played was not very formal, what does it matter? The audience who came for the two of them didn't care about these things.
