"You are indeed the grandson of that smelly old man!"

Echizen Nanjiro's reaction was completely unexpected by Souji Hatada. Anyway, Souji Hata observed that in most schools that had been rivals with Yamabuki, basically no one was not impressed by Mikiya Hata. His iconic no matter what

He always has a smile on his face, which leaves a deep impression on people.

Hata Souji looked at Echizen Nanjiro with a faint smile.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Echizen Nanjiro now?"

Seeing the vague smile on the corner of Hata Souji's mouth and his face as if the spring breeze was blowing, Echizen Nanjiro scratched his head with his hand helplessly.

"Ah, kid, you really look like your grandpa."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Well, just think that I'm complimenting you."

...

"what's the situation?"

Toyama Kintaro looked at Echizen Nanjiro and Hata Souji with some confusion.

"Soji, do you know this uncle?"

"Is there any tennis player who doesn't know him?"

Hata Souji said calmly: "After all, he is one step away from becoming the world's number one legendary player."

“One step away from becoming number one in the world?!”

Kintaro Toyama looked at the unformed Echizen Nanjiro in front of him in surprise.

"he!?"

"Hey kid! What's with your skeptical attitude!"

Although he doesn't care about those past honors, Echizen Nanjiro will not be very happy if he is disliked by a brat for no reason.

"Are you doubting my strong body and perfect curves?"

As he said that, he also posed in a fitness pose coquettishly.

...

...

Souji, is what you said really reliable? Have you been deceived? If you are deceived, just blink...and open your eyes.

Ignoring Kintaro Toyama's wink at him, he looked directly at Echizen Nanjiro who was still immersed in the fantasy of narcissism and satisfaction in front of him.

"Mr. Echizen Nanjiro, please have a fight with me."

A fight?

The sudden invitation from Hata Souji made Echizen Nanjiro look slightly sideways, and the originally playful expression on his face also subsided, and he looked at the serious-looking Hata Souji in front of him with some amusement.

Hatada Souji also opened his eyes slightly, and his impressive appearance also aroused Echizen Nanjiro's faint interest.

This guy has pretty good eyes.

There was a flash of appreciation in his eyes, but unfortunately, it was just like this...

"Sorry, today I..."

Before Echizen Nanjiro finished speaking, Hata Souji, who had already expected that he would be rejected, became aura.

A national-level momentum unfolded without missing a beat.

This momentum gave Echizen Nanjiro another surprise.

Has this kid reached this point? He is even more powerful than Ryoma.

Inexplicably, Echizen Nanjiro thought of Echizen Ryoma who was still waiting for him in the car.

"It's not enough to fight, but..."

Echizen Nanjiro showed a relaxed smile.

"It's okay to play with you. One ball. I'll only play one ball with you."

At this time, Echizen Nanjiro's eyes were also very bright, with a touch of domineering calmness.

Toyama Kintaro curled his lips after listening to Echizen Nanjiro's words, looked at his left hand reaching into his monk's robe from his chest to scratch at will, raised a finger on his right hand, and whispered in a low voice.

"Tch, what? Uncle is so stingy that he only hit one ball."

Echizen Nanjiro looked at Hatada Souji with a smile in his eyes.

"How's it going, kid?"

"Okay! I agree!"

"very good."

Echizen Nanjiro nodded, and then said to the two of them: "My car is parked outside, and my son is in the car. You just go to my car and wait."

"good."

After Soji Hata finished speaking, he nodded neatly and walked outside with Kintaro Toyama.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Echizen Nanjiro smiled faintly.

"Today's young people are really amazing."

...

"Soji, are you sure you got the right person? Is that uncle really just one step away from becoming number one in the world?"

On the way, Toyama Kintaro was still a little unsure. He suspected that Soji Hata had been deceived.

"Relax Kintaro, it's just a shot anyway."

Soji Hata smiled faintly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

After Toyama Kintaro finished speaking, he stopped persuading him. Although he felt that Echizen Nanjiro was unreliable, he believed in Hata Souji.

【Power:3.8】

【Speed:3.8】

[Endurance: 3.6]

[Technology: 4]

【Spirit:5.6】

During this period, Souji Hatada's spirit and strength increased by 0.1. The spirit was replaced by fragments, and the strength was improved through training.

The total has reached 20.8.

As for skills and stuff, I'm sorry, I didn't draw them out.

The two walked outside and found a pickup truck parked not far away.

"Is that the one? Souji."

"We'll find out if we go over and take a look."

As the two of them walked in and saw the boy with his eyes closed and wearing a hat in the car, Soji Hata knew that they had made a mistake.

...

"Dong dong dong!"

Hearing someone knocking on the car window, Echizen Ryoma opened his eyes, and then saw Kintaro Toyama with a bright smile on his face, and Soji Hata smiling next to him.

Who are these two people?

Echizen Ryoma thought to himself and rolled down the window at the same time.

"What's the matter with you?"

Toyama Kintaro opened his mouth and got straight to the point.

"Hello, your father asked us to wait for him in the car."

"My dad?"

Echizen Ryoma raised his eyebrows and looked at the two boys who were about the same age as him, with tennis rackets on their backs, and wondered if they might be the sons of Echizen Nanjiro's acquaintances.

"That's it, then come up."

"Hehe, okay."

"excuse me."

After the two got in the car, Echizen Ryoma didn't talk enthusiastically or anything. He just continued to close his eyes and relax, as if he wasn't curious about the two of them at all.

But he is not curious, someone is curious!

"Hey, what's your name, little brother?"

Toyama Kintaro leaned next to Echizen Ryoma and asked.

Echizen Ryoma, who had a somewhat indifferent personality, was very uncomfortable with Kintaro Toyama's overly enthusiastic behavior. He frowned slightly and then said: "Echizen Ryoma."

"Oh, hello, my name is Toyama Kintaro, and his name is Hata Souji."

"Um."

Echizen Ryoma obviously had no interest in communicating, but Toyama Kintaro didn't seem to notice, and continued to ask: "Weiwei, Brother Chaoqian, is your father very good at tennis?" (Toyama Kintaro's pronunciation is not correct.

, but that’s how it’s translated)

On the side, Soji Hata smiled secretly when he heard Kintaro Toyama's pronunciation.

Echizen Ryoma corrected him angrily: "It's Echizen, not ahead of time."

However, when he heard Toyama Kintaro's accent, he didn't worry too much and said casually: "It's quite impressive."

After hearing this, Soji Hata couldn't help complaining.

This evaluation is really 'objective'.

"That's it. Echizen-san, can you beat your father?"

Kintaro Toyama asked harmlessly.

But this question really bothered Echizen Ryoma.

...

He lowered the brim of his hat slightly, with a hint of stubbornness in his tone.

"Sooner or later, I will defeat him."

"Oh, you can't even beat your father, so you are lower than Shunquan, who is quite powerful? Then what's your tennis level, little brother?"

...

For a moment, Echizen Ryoma suspected whether Toyama Kintaro was deliberately stirring up trouble, but when he saw the latter's innocent eyes, he came to a conclusion.

This guy just has no emotional intelligence.

"Humph, why should I tell you."

"Oh, it's mainly because I saw that you are also carrying a racket, little brother, so I wanted to ask if I would like to play a game later."

Kintaro Toyama said somewhat depressedly: "Souji is going to fight with uncle soon, and I don't want to watch from the side, so I'll ask my brother about your level."

His words instantly caught Echizen Ryoma's attention. He turned sideways and looked back for the first time, staring at Hatada Souji with a pair of sharp, cat-like eyes.

"You want to fight my dad?!"

Gee, the eyes are so big.

Souji Hata smiled and nodded.
