RISE OF CHIMERA: The Beginning Of This Story
~MATCH TWO FRIENDS~
On the same day, the three of them underwent sports lessons. The material this time is badminton and all students in the class are ready in the field.
When it comes to badminton, it is a sport that Gaia likes. You could say he is a very good player. This has proven a record of playing that never loses, both against men and women.
All the students were still in the field, some were sitting, some were practicing, and some were chatting. For Yoki, he was currently with Haori and noticed Gaia warming up.
Oh well, the other one is Kenichi, but the trunk of his nose is not visible in the field. I don't know where he went.
“Wah, Gaia seems very excited to play this sport.”
“Hehe, you know Haori .. Gaia is an expert at badminton.”
Suddenly Yoki came over to Haori and stood on equal footing with her. He immediately put both hands on both sides of his waist while replying to Haori's words, like that explanation was a pride in itself.
“Wah, great. I just can't play badminton.”
“Yeah?”
“Yes right, I didn't get a lesson on badminton in my old school.”
“Wah, means you don't know the basic rules and techniques well?”
In response, Haori nodded her head. Yoki had understood, but he suddenly turned his focus towards Gaia who was approaching them. It seemed, Gaia's warm-up and preparation had already been completed.
“Wah, wow, are you ready to compete today?”
“Anaan anyway, I just want to perform the best in the sport that I like the most.”
“Hehe.”
From the grim tone of Yoki alone it was seen that he was just joking.
“Oh yeah, where's Kenichi?”
Yoki turned his head in various directions, he was about to track down the whereabouts of the students Gaia asked. But the result remains the same. Niente.
“Entah.”
Not long after, the most anticipated person came. Who else if not a sports teacher, who walked to the field while carrying with him a student in the back.
Turns out it was Kenichi, meaning that from now on he was with the teacher. Well how else, Kenichi did not talk to Yoki and Gaia. They both know nothing at all.
“Is everything ready?”
“Ready!!”
“Anu ..”.
The simultaneous answers of the classmates were interrupted by the voice of an invading disciple. He was Haori who had now become the center of attention.
“Can I go to the toilet?”
“Haaah, whatever. But that is cepet yah.”
“Good!”
After Haori left, the teacher gave an explanation of the activities they were going to do today.
It turns out that the point is, the classmates will compete singly with fellow students whose partners will be determined by the teacher.
“Yeah, I'm with Kenichi.”
“I .. with Haori.”
Upon hearing the name of Gaia's partner, Yoki turned his head and looked at her.
“Means you can't get the best opponent today.”
“And you will I libas this time hahaha ...”
The person who had disappeared from sight, suddenly came and approached Yoki. Its existence alone has made Yoki's mouth was washed away.
Especially coming up with such intimidating words. Well, complete is the reason for Yoki's frustration with Kenichi.
“We'll see, Kenichi. I won't lose because yesterday I was training.”
But calm down, Yoki already has the provision to fight the intimidation.
“Hoo, what training did you do Yoki?”
“Hahaha ..”
Suddenly Yoki laughed out loud, his hands bent and placed on both sides of his waist. At first glance, if Yoki also has an intimidating aura.
“I practice badminton in the game.”
“Mana connect!”
Destroyed was already that aura, kirain its contents would be the same as his style. It was really a silly word, therefore Kenichi immediately snapped Yoki's head to resuscitate him.
“Yes do not need to be tracked either.”
However, the incident also caused laughter from Gaia. The proof alone, from now on Gaia actually held a laugh behind her hand. It's small, so it doesn't sound. After all, the debate was only to enliven the atmosphere.
“You guys, now it's Yoki and Kenichi's turn to compete.”
“Oke.”
Yoki and Kenichi enter the badminton court. Before they were completely separated by the net, Yoki turned his eyes to look at Kenichi ….
“Let's see, who is superior.”
“Hoo, you dream too much Yoki. This is the real world, not the game world hahaha ..”
Now the two are completely separated by the net. But this is part of the match. That means, this match can start.
“Alright, play one round with a maximum score of 21.”
It was only then that this match really began, after the referee had determined which of them had started the serve first.
The one who gets the service opportunity first is Kenichi. There seemed to be a subtlety in the smile she gave.
His eyes stared intently at Yoki as an opponent. Although this match is not a formal match, it is only part of the learning process.
Well, they both remain serious with the utterance. Eve chat can be taken casually, but not with the goals they set at the beginning. The goal is to determine the winner of this match. You could say they consider it a competition.
“Start.”
With this, Kenichi was officially able to hit the serve ball. Actually the service is not a threat, but it should not be underestimated. There is a trick that can be done in it, for example, to lure opponents.
If it's Kenichi, he wants to control the tempo. Yoki inevitably had to receive the serve, otherwise it must be a point for the opponent.
“What would Kenichi do now?”
Yoki still asked, shortly after receiving a service that was arguably short. Now the ball has returned to the first hitter.
“Hehe, let's see Yoki.”
Kenichi hits slowly and the ball falls near the net, a technique that can be described as netting. Will Yoki be able to push the ball away? No one knows, but Yoki will try.
He swiftly slid towards the ball and hit it back into the opponent's area. Such a corner is difficult, because when the player manages to return the ball then the given return angle is too good for the opponent.
At least, that's Kenichi's plan. When he saw a kok entering his territory, Kenichi immediately took a swing and hit the ball really hard. This shot is called a smash.
Kenichi Smile said, the ball that will fall on the edge of the right service area was his intention. It was a very difficult place for Yoki to return the ball.
You could say the opportunity is small, especially with the addition of several factors. Such as the distance of Yoki with a long ball, the location of the ball that falls exactly near the out line, and the speed of a strong smash. Well, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it impossible.
“One point for Kenichi.”
The referee has confirmed Kenichi's success. It was the first score to appear in this match.
“Pay.”
Yoki raved, because the ball really produces points for the opponent. As for Kenichi, he just smiled and kept something. Either tactics let alone that will be given, which he must be serious even though Yoki is his friend.
“With me starting first, then the flow of the game I can control. Moreover, Yoki is not the type of player who seems to think long, and he is also not a person who can turn things around. so this will be easier hahaha ..”.
So as Kenichi muttered, he was devising a strategy. More precisely, continue with his plan.
“Alright Kenichi, for the next I will not lose to you.”
Well, for the next, well reality is very contrary to Yoki's expectations. Kenichi too dominates the flow of the game, his points continue to increase without ever giving Yoki a chance.
“And we see kids, ten for Kenichi and empty for Yoki.”
About there, the game is a bit different because Yoki is out of steam. From now on he continued to play Kenichi, he had to run front, back, right, left until at the end of it all just to add points Kenichi.
“Haha Yoki, can still say like that again.”
Yoki still silently looked at Kenichi, he was very tired of all this. Right now, his body was bowed lethargic and his legs were drooping limp.
He curled up in his area, while locking his focus on the smiling Kenichi.
“Haaah .. I'm like a doll she controls. Like from earlier, I only move according to Kenichi's wishes. Dad, what should I do? If this keeps up, I won't be able to turn things around.”
A rumble in mutter, Yoki was close to giving up until he found a glimmer of hope.
“If likened, I was like a dog playing with bones with my master. My employer must have thrown the bone in his favor and I will definitely comply. Uhm, what if I defected while picking up a bone for my master? I mean, with a little added attack while returning it maybe.”
I don't know where that thought came from. But no doubt, it is a brilliant figure of speech. Dog and master, well there is a conclusion that can be drawn from it.
“Hee, wait a minute ..”
Yes, now Yoki has understood what to do. Yoki's murmur was done, as he had already gotten what he needed.
