Prince of Tennis: A tennis legend that started from signing in

Chapter 664: Poaching in Public, Xiao Jin and Long Ma's Choice

In comparison, Echizen Ryoma appears much calmer.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly: "What a coincidence."

Then, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Beichuan at a leisurely pace. Although he looked calm on the surface, the fighting spirit and confidence revealed in his eyes made it impossible to ignore his presence.

When Ralph Reinhardt, captain of the Free State U-17 team, saw the reactions of Kintaro Toyama and Ryoma Echizen, the corners of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile.

He turned to look at the team members behind him and spoke in a calm tone.

"Let's go over and say hello."

"Coach Echizen won't arrive in the Free Country until tonight. For the time being, I will take care of all team matters."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards Beichuan and the others. His upright posture and firm steps demonstrated his responsibility and style as a captain.

Ralph Reinhardt walked up to Kitagawa, with a warm yet polite smile on his face, and extended his right hand and spoke sincerely.

"Welcome Captain Kitagawa and everyone from the Swiss U-17 team to the Free Country."

"We met last time in England. I hope you haven't forgotten me."

His voice is rich and powerful, making people feel his friendliness and sincerity.

Kitagawa also smiled, reached out and shook Ralph Reinhardt's hand, and responded calmly.

"Of course not, Captain Reinhardt."

"However, compared to these words, I hope that Your Excellency can bring me some surprises in the next game."

His eyes were firm and sharp, as if he had already seen the fierce confrontation on the field. It was his expectation for his opponent and his desire for victory.

Ralph Reinhardt was slightly startled when he heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

As a top professional player, he is well aware of the strength of his master-level opponents. Beichuan's challenge makes him both surprised and excited.

He took a deep breath, a smile returning to his face, and said, "A declaration of war from a master-level opponent is truly surprising."

However, before the two finished their conversation, Kintaro Toyama came over impatiently.

He put his arm around Kitagawa's shoulders affectionately, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, and spoke coquettishly.

"Nanchuan~ Can you take me to eat super delicious takoyaki?"

"As a reward, I can play tennis with you."

"I'm very strong now!"

As he spoke, he waved his fist with a look of confidence.

Ryoma Echizen on the side shook his head helplessly, and pulled Kintaro Toyama behind him with an expressionless face, fearing that he would say something embarrassing again.

Kitagawa couldn't help but chuckle at the eager look on Toyama Kintaro's face.

"Hehe... If you come to the Swiss U-17 training camp, Xiao Jin, you can eat all the super delicious takoyaki you want, even until you vomit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene froze instantly.

The players of the Swiss U-17 team and the Free State U-17 team all widened their eyes and looked at Kitagawa in shock, then at Kintaro Toyama.

Several high school players from the Free State U-17 team even took a step forward, as if ready to interrupt Kintaro Toyama's answer at any time to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Ralph Reinhardt looked at Kintaro Toyama with great interest and spoke sincerely.

"Xiao Jin, be brave and tell me your choice."

An extremely conflicted expression suddenly appeared on Kintaro Toyama's face. He frowned, bit his lips, and his eyes shifted back and forth between Kitagawa and his own team.

On one side is the delicious food he has been craving for, and on the other side are his teammates fighting side by side. This is undoubtedly a difficult choice for him.

However, this dilemma only lasted for a short moment. Soon, he raised his head firmly and said.

"Nanchuan, I'm sorry, I can't leave the Free Country U-17 training camp like this."

"Even the most delicious takoyaki in the universe is made this way."

Although his tone was a little regretful, it was extremely firm.

Hearing Toyama Kintaro's answer, the members of both teams breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, it would not sound good if news got out that you were trying to poach the opponent's players before the game even started.

Kitagawa didn't pay much attention to Toyama Kintaro's decision, but turned his gaze to Echizen Ryoma and asked calmly.

"What about you, Ryoma?"

This sentence once again made the atmosphere tense.

In the Swiss U-17 national team, Henry Nobel III was whispering to his teammates.

"Ahem...Captain Beichuan is truly a man of great skill and courage."

"Isn't Echizen Ryoma the son of Echizen Nanjiro?"

"And Echizen Nanjiro is the coach of the U-17 training camp of the Free State."

"If I don't leave, how could my son be poached by others?"

Marui Bunta blew a bubble and spoke slowly.

"Honestly, it's possible."

"After all, Echizen himself wants to follow in Captain Kitagawa's footsteps."

"Before, I wanted to defeat him, but now Captain Beichuan is at the master level. The gap between the two is huge."

"Plus, it seems like he was sold to the HERO Tennis Club by his dad. So~"

At this time, Yukimura Seiichi's gentle and steady voice was heard.

"Echizen won't."

"Junior Beichuan just wants to know how their beliefs have changed. He doesn't really want to poach them."

Echizen Ryoma met Kitagawa's gaze, was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke.

"Although I really want to get away from that old man in my family."

“But now, the Free State U-17 training camp is undoubtedly the only way for me to become stronger.”

"Of course, if there is an opportunity, I would also like to walk side by side with you."

Although his voice was calm, every word was filled with his love for tennis and his expectations for the future.

After saying that, he and Kintaro Toyama walked back to the Free Country U-17 team.

Only then did Kitagawa realize that Ralph Reinhardt was still holding his hand tightly. He said with a polite smile on his face.

"Captain Reinhardt, can you let go now?"

Ralph Reinhardt finally came to his senses and realized his rudeness. A blush suddenly appeared on his face. He let go of his hand awkwardly and spoke quickly.

"Feel sorry."

Although they are about to become rivals on the field, Ralf Reinhardt does not want to be a false gentleman who only pays attention to appearances. He values ​​sincere communication and respect for his opponents.

Kitagawa no longer paid attention to Ralph Reinhardt, but looked at Echizen Ryoma and Toyama Kintaro with encouragement in his eyes.

"Well then, let's keep working hard!"

After saying that.

Beichuan's mouth curled up slightly into a smile.

At the same time, he withdrew his hand.

"Of course, I also hope that Captain Kitagawa will remember that victory or defeat in the U-17 World Cup depends on the team."

"See you on the court~"

He waved his hand.

Ralph Reinhardt chuckled and said this to Beichuan.

The members of the Free State U-17 team were walking towards the exit.

Not long after, they disappeared in the crowd.

"Let's go too."

"The John F. Kennedy International Airport staff are here."

After looking around at the expressions of the Swiss U-17 team members.

Brand's lips curled up into a unique smile, and then he spoke softly.
