Chapter 26 The Upcoming Regional Tournament
Atobe looked at Shangshanyou with an incredible expression.
If I'm not mistaken, Kamishima Yu's counterattack just now was just a simple flat hit.
"So you've been hiding your strength all this time!?"
The icy light in Atobe's eyes flickered again. It turned out that I was the naive one before!
Faced with Yu Uesugi of such strength, Atobe once again opens up a world of ice.
The Ice King who controls the entire field has arrived again!
Uesugi Yu also felt the icy aura coming from Atobe, but this time he seemed a lot more relaxed.
The cells stimulated by the breath of thunder were very active, and he felt that he could move to any place on the court at any time.
Boom!
Tsuchiya scored another goal. This time he gave up the previous serve of Tannhaiser and served a regular serve directly into Shanyou's blind spot.
However.
The unexpected sound of breaking was not heard.
Boom!
Uesugi Yuu ignored Atobe's world of ice and directly blocked the tennis ball and the ice ridge.
Crash!
The racket swept the tennis ball past with a hint of bright blue light.
“Whoosh!”
Just like the first ball, Uesugi Yuu’s return was incredibly fast.
Atobe felt that only his ears caught the slight roar of the tennis ball landing.
this moment.
The ice spikes that should have been stuck on Shangshanyou's side in his eyes shattered at the same time and turned into tiny bits of crystal light that floated in the air.
"This is……"
Atobe was speechless.
The ice world was broken...
Atobe held the racket tightly. Although he knew later that he was most likely no match for Uesugi Yu, he did not expect that Uesugi Yu could be able to ignore his ice world.
Such strength...
Is this what he told me before, the gap between him and me?
Atobe was in a complicated mood. He suddenly remembered that Uesugi Yuu had told him before that his goal was to become number one in the world.
This boy is not joking, maybe he can really do it ...
There was no suspense in the following game. Uesugi Yu directly broke Atobe's serve and won a point.
Immediately afterwards, Uesugi Yu hit four consecutive aces and ended the game directly.
The final score, 6-3!
Witnessed by the morning light, the two shook hands with each other, completing the battle for the strongest position within the Ice Emperor.
After the game.
Atobe stood in front of the bathroom mirror and gently patted his handsome cheeks with both hands.
"I never thought that there would be a day when I would lose so miserably!" Atobe smiled at himself in the mirror.
Except for being bullied when he first started learning tennis in the UK, he was the winner in all subsequent tennis matches.
Unexpectedly , after returning to China this time, he actually lost to a person of the same age. This made him, who was very proud in his heart, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Stayed for a moment.
"It's not unacceptable what that guy Shangshan said..." Atobe covered his left eye with his slender fingers and suddenly muttered softly.
He thought about the days of training, when Uesugi Yu was always the first one to get up to practice kendo, and then he would arrange training for them.
He is strong for a reason...
In a trance, Atobe felt that something was missing from his shoulder.
Then, fine silk threads of water turned into mist, covering up all the chaotic thoughts...
On the other side, Uesugi Yu was also washing up in his room.
If someone could see him now, they would find that Shangshan You's eyes were dull and his deep pupils had lost their luster.
He also gained a lot from this game.
Not only did it fully verify various speculations about Water Breathing in the game, but also because of the appearance of Atobe Ice World, many of its own flaws were discovered.
Under the records of the system panel, Uesugi Yuu reviewed the entire match between himself and Atobe ball by ball from a third-party God's perspective.
Be it Atobe's tactics, Atobe's awakening, his own response, and all the blind spots when Atobe saw through him...
During this process, the shower head above his head brought out refreshing hot water, which made him feel particularly relaxed.
Before he knew it, he had gotten into the habit of reviewing the game while taking a shower.
………
"Oh, I can finally go back. I'm so tired." Xiangri Yueren hummed lazily in his seat.
"Xianghi, your arm rubbed my hair," Oshitari said with a dark face as he patted the seat of Xianghi Taketo in the front seat.
The hand that had just stretched out to Takehito bent backwards and poked directly into his hair, which he had just done this morning.
"Oh, haha, I'm sorry, Oshitari, it was careless, it was careless!"
Xiangri Yueren's hand suddenly retracted, then he turned over and half of his head appeared from the seat, and he made a face and apologized to Oshitari.
“You bastard…”
Oshitari saw him deliberately making a funny expression, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. Never mind, I don't want to bother with him anymore.
"Speaking of which, Oshitari. Did you notice that the Buchou and Uesugi were acting strange today?"
Seeing that Oshima was not angry, Xiangri glanced around and saw that everyone was resting with their eyes closed. He quietly leaned close to Oshima and said.
Xianghi's words made Oshitari stunned.
"It seems so a little bit." Oshitari raised his hand to support his chin, thought for a while and said.
When everyone got up and gathered this morning, they found that the expressions of Atobe and Uesugi Yuu were much more serious.
But everyone was still confused at the time and didn't pay much attention. Now, after hearing Xiangri's words, Oshitari suddenly became interested.
But he restrained his expression and didn't show it. He just said: "Since Atobe and Uesugi didn't say anything themselves, we don't need to worry about it."
Under the lenses, Oshitari's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of cunning.
Since Xiangri specifically brought up this topic, he must know something.
"Oh!" Mukai Taketo was very surprised to see Oshina's reaction.
"Aren't you curious, Oshitari?" This time, Mukai Taketo glanced at Akutagawa Jiro who was sleeping soundly next to Oshitari, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm not curious."
Oshitari pushed up his glasses and shook his head.
Xiangri Yueren was choked by his choking, but when he thought of that scene, he became even more itchy. What he saw was big news!
"Let me tell you, when I got up to go to the bathroom this morning, I saw the Minister and Shangshan playing tennis from the third-floor window."
Xiangri glanced around again, especially confirming the status of Atobe and Uesugi, and then leaned straight into Oshitari's ear and told him the "breaking news" that he had been holding back for a long time.
"Oh, is it so."
Oshitari's pupils trembled, and he subconsciously prepared to push his glasses, but suddenly felt something was wrong, so he continued to move his hand upwards and smoothed the hair that had just been messed up by Xiangri.
"cut!"
Oshitari's calm reaction suddenly made Xiangri feel that his sense of accomplishment had dropped by 90%, as if this matter was really no big deal.
"It's possible that they were just practicing in the morning." Looking at Xiangri who seemed a little bored, Oshitari still gave him some comfort.
"Okayヽ(￣д￣;)ノ"
Xiangri spread his hands, indicating that he couldn't continue the conversation, and quickly shrank back from the position he was lying on.
And when he was alone, the surprise in his eyes was no longer concealed.
Oshitari glanced at Kamisama Yu with a gleam in his eyes, and then glanced at Atobe who was resting with his eyes closed.
"Which of these two guys is stronger?!"
He murmured in his heart, because he knew that the match this morning was definitely not a practice match. These two strong opponents who had defeated him actually competed this morning!
Atobe and Uesugi Yuu didn't know that Oshitari had already learned from Mukai that they had a match. It was just that they didn't say anything, and Oshitari didn't mention it rashly.
By the time they returned to school, it was almost noon.
After causing a burst of exclamations on the tennis court, the first team of players disbanded on the spot. They still needed to return to their respective classes to report. After all, they had asked for a week's leave, but they had delayed many troublesome things.
at the same time.
In the music room on the third floor.
Taro Sakaki tapped his fingers as the record played.
Two forms he had filled out were on the table in front of him.
【Registration Form for Regional Competition Schools】
