Chapter 36: In the end, Kazuya Yuhihama chose to indulge(1/2)
Yukinoshita Yukino is a genius, a genius in the true sense. The so-called genius is at least a person who can show outstanding talents in multiple fields, not someone like me who is talented in one aspect but really lame in other aspects.
people.
Sometimes I wonder if God deliberately set a ceiling for each person's total talent when he created humans, so that I can enjoy some unique abilities while bearing the burden of imbecility in other areas.
But the appearance of Yukinoshita Yukino completely broke my understanding. I only know that so far, Yukinoshita Yukino has not shown any weakness in her aspect.
——If there is a law of conservation of talents in a certain sense, then I believe that all the talents that were lacking in my sister must have been transferred to Yukinoshita, which is the so-called conservation of the total amount of talents in the world.
And the current Yukinoshita did not disappoint me. As I said before, the counterattack from the service department began.
The situation on the field should have been reversed when Yukinoshita caught the first ball.
Miura Yuiko is very strong. When she competed with her sister before, although the gap in strength was too great, it was impossible to form an effective competition at all, so her specific strength cannot be seen. However, from that speed, accuracy and ruthlessness
Judging from her serve and effective hitting, her level is definitely on a national level.
Coupled with the discussion of the group of Queen Miura fans next to me, judging from my weak level of watching tennis, Miura Yuko is definitely not an easy person to deal with.
As for Hayama Hayato next to her, although I don’t know his specific level, but according to my sister, judging from the fact that the draft for his physical education class was not football but tennis, his tennis level is probably not that bad.
Facing such an opponent, with Hikigaya Hachiman's physical strength exhausted, the pressure of the current battle is actually on Yukinoshita Yukino.
Then, Yukinoshita Yukino had an incredible way to fight back.
Miura Yuko's first serve seemed to be a provocation to Yukinoshita. She ignored Hikigaya Hachiman in front of the net, and with a whirlwind, it hit Yukinoshita's dominant right hand.
left.
Based on my slight understanding of tennis, at this time, you need to rely on large-scale running and accurate judgment of the ball path to fight back. Of course, if you make a mistake in judgment or the opponent's ball speed is too fast,
Then it is also possible for the opponent to serve directly and score.
After Yuko Miura's serve, Yukinoshita just stood there with no intention of moving at all. I thought it was because Yukinoshita, who had just come on the court, didn't have an overall grasp of the situation on the court.
However, I found that I was so wrong. Yukinoshita Yukino used a posture that even a professional player could not make, using her left foot as the axis, turning in a circle at high speed like dancing, and with a
A very graceful gesture. After the tennis ball bounced on the ground, he came to the left side of the tennis ball and then returned the ball with ease.
——This is a naked disrespectful return to the opponent. At least, in my limited history of watching tennis matches, I have never seen anyone return the ball like this. In theory, this roundabout style
Adjusting the direction is definitely slower than returning the ball by stepping on the steps. On the other hand, after making a pirouette on the court, it is actually difficult for people to distinguish the normal direction, which will inevitably affect the quality of the return.
.
However, Yukinoshita Yukino returned the ball in this freehand way, almost insulting the opponent, and accurately let the ball fall into the inside of the court.
Of course, judging from the results, the angle of Yukinoshita's return was not very tricky, and Miura had every chance to catch it. However, probably because of Yukinoshita's posture just now, Miura's confidence was greatly affected.
, she stared blankly at Yukinoshita on the other end, and then blankly watched as the tennis ball spun and fell to the court in front of her, and then flew out of bounds.
"Too slow!" Yukinoshita pointed at Miura with a tennis racket, showing a rarely seen provocative look.
At this time, Hayama Hayato, who had been attacking Yumiko Miura on the other side, also became serious. He shouted to Miura who was still in a daze: "Be careful! Yumiko!" Then, he cheered up.
I cheered up and raised my tennis racket.
Hayama Hayato is a person who knows how to grasp the situation on the court. In the previous games, because his side had the absolute advantage, he gave up all the opportunities to perform on the court to the tennis court.
However, now, when Yukinoshita Yukino's appearance has changed the situation on the entire field, Hayama has taken the initiative to take on the role of inspiring people.
It has to be said that this is the role that a leader should play in the absolute sense. When one's own team is crushing the opponent, he can build the confidence of the players by helping others shine, and when his teammates are confused about the situation on the field, he can stand up.
To stabilize the morale of the military.
From this perspective, it is surprising that Sobu High School's football club failed to produce any results. Hayama Hayato, both technically and psychologically, should have reached the standards of a mature leader.
But he was willing to give up his core position to me. Is this just because of my previous fame?
I suddenly became interested in Sobu High School's football club. Of course, before that, I'd better enjoy the reversal brought about by Yukinoshita Yukino.
Although Hayama has taken over the role of the main attacker in place of Miura, whose confidence has been somewhat frustrated, and at the same time, he also tried his best to hit the ball towards Hikigaya Hachiman, who was lacking in physical strength. However, the advantage on the field still inevitably went to the serving club.
One side has shifted. Although Hikigaya Hachiman's physical fitness has declined, his batting level is still quite good. Moreover, when he appears in front of the net, he does not have to put in too much effort to increase his batting power, while those who play tricky balls
All tasks have been handed over to Yukinoshita Yukino from the bottom line.
If we have to find a more reasonable type of Yukinoshita's tennis playing style, then I think there is no comparable object, because her butterfly-flipping steps have occasionally shown some
The strange methods of returning the ball and returning the ball seem to prove one thing: this is a person who has not received formal training. However, her weird returns and some strange catching methods can always make the tennis ball fly out.
The arc he wanted, even saved him a lot of energy, which makes people feel that this guy is really an absolute genius in this aspect.
Geniuses, on the other hand, do not need a reason to crush ordinary talented people. Although Hayama and Miura worked very hard, the gap between the service department and the other side continued to narrow until the final overtake.
Yukinoshita Yukino's serve directly scored, announcing the match point of this game.
"Don't look any further!" I turned my head, "This is a certain victory!"
"Is this really true?" At this time, Isshiki's ghostly voice came to my ears again. I don't know when, but she had just returned to Hayama's cheering group obediently, and she looked like a mouse.
It also came to my side.
"What do you mean?"
"That ball just now was a very simple return. Yukinoshita-senpai made a mistake!" Isshiki winked slyly and said, "No, or it wasn't a mistake, but she didn't even stretch out her hand."
"Error in judging the landing point?"
"No, even I can see that Hayama-senpai's serve just now was a little hasty. If it was Yukinoshita-senpai before, she should have directly received the serve and scored, but she didn't make any move."
"So, what do you mean?"
Isshiki narrowed his eyes and said: "Look, Yukinoshita-senpai is just like Yui-senpai before, sitting on the field and has no physical strength!"
I opened my eyes and looked at Yukinoshita on the field. Hikigaya next to me seemed to be communicating with her, with an incredible expression on her face. However, Yukinoshita seemed to be just shaking her head helplessly.
Yes, physical fitness issues, physical fitness issues that have been trained from the beginning, if a person's multi-faceted talents are determined by talent, but physical fitness is often the most ignored aspect of geniuses, because, in most people
Under certain circumstances, a genius can defeat his opponent without expending too much physical energy.
However, it is obvious that this time, although Yukinoshita's opponent is not too strong, due to the previous gap and the problem of being almost one against two, her physical fitness still has problems, right?
If Yukinoshita gives in at this time, I can still mock her based on her performance to prove the correctness of my argument that "talent destroys people". Yukinoshita's current situation is definitely because of her
Caused by over-reliance and over-confidence in one's own talents.
However, the problem is that this is not just Yukinoshita's failure, it is the service department's failure, it is my sister's failure, and it is the unwillingness to fall short when the attack on my sister is almost successful.
Off the court, the anxious eyes of my sister, who was sitting almost leaning against the tennis court, and the performance of Totsuka, who was covering his face and not daring to look at the situation on the court, proved everyone's reluctance.
I suddenly felt a particularly powerless feeling. From beginning to end, I seemed to have played no role. I was just a bystander. Because of the somewhat harsh goal I set for myself, the goal that failed to unleash my talents, I became
Complete spectators, watching Hikigaya Hachiman, a person who hardly plays against others, swinging the racket hard on the court, watching people like my sister who can barely play tennis face the opponent with strength, watching Yukinoshita Yukino alone.
He tried to turn the tide but fell short of it.
That's right, I can't do anything. For this place that I'm used to, and for the family that I cherish, I ultimately rely on others to protect me. I don't understand what my approach has done for me.
What.
The situation on the tennis court seems to have reached the final deciding point. It seems that the service department has lost two match points, but the good news is that this is the winning point of Hikigaya Hachiman's serve. If he can score directly by serving
.
I suddenly remembered the question of whether Hikigaya Hachiman, whom I complained about before, is the protagonist of the novel.
Well, if you are the protagonist of the novel, Hikigaya Hachiman, I hope you can prove it to me!
Then, I watched Hikigaya throw the ball casually and swing it towards the opponent's court. I saw Miura's surprised smile and her anxious desire to directly receive the serve and score.
Is the game over? Didn't Hikigaya perform a miracle?
However, it is not like this. At the moment when the tennis ball is about to fall, a gust of wind blows for some reason, making the tennis ball float up again. In a master's game, it is very important to grasp the direction of the wind. Of course, before the tennis court
The steady airflow above made everyone seem to ignore this.
However, Hikigaya Hachiman caught it. His serve, which seemed weak, changed its direction through the last gust of wind, causing Miura and even Hayama behind her to judge the wrong direction.
"Ace!" Then, this is the end of the game.
I turned around, listened to the sudden noisy sound on the field, smiled, and said to Isshiki: "It's a pity, Isshiki, it was just a little bit worse!"
"Well, it's almost, but this kind of closeness doesn't seem to be important anymore!" Isshiki looked behind me with interest and said.
"What happened this time?"
"Because, Prince, you finally saved Her Highness the Princess!" Isshiki smiled softly, "Oh, I'm a little envious of Miura-senpai!"
"Prince, princess?" This should not be a word used to describe Hikigaya or Yukinoshita. If it must be said, the dwarf and the evil queen would be more suitable for them. However, "Miura?"
I turned my head and heard the inexplicable noise on the field. At the center of the noise were Hayama and Miura. Although I didn’t know what was going on, looking at the dust on Hayama’s body and Miura Yuiko’s shy smile, I should have thought
It can be judged that Hayama escaped some crisis by holding Miura, right?
Therefore, in the end, the Service Club is the winner, but this victory seems to be meaningless to the Service Club, because everyone's focus is on the performance of Hayama Hayato and Miura Yuko.
On the other side, Yukinoshita and Hikigaya had slowly walked down the field, seemingly not paying much attention to the situation here. Then, their elder sister happily came forward to greet them. It seemed like this was a good opportunity.
the result of.
However, is this strange? Is it really strange? As the victors, we did not enjoy the cheers. In a wonderful game of David and Goliath, we won, but we did not enjoy the cheers.
Listening to the voice of "Hayama! Hayama!" that resounded throughout the audience, I suddenly felt an inexplicable depression in my heart.
