Chapter 28: Starting from this champion
Shangshanyou didn't stay idle for long, and was soon found by Xiangri.
"Okay, Shangshan, so you sneaked here alone to slack off."
Xiangri looked at Shangshanyou who was hiding under the shade of a tree, and immediately ran to him and said as if he had caught something.
"Oh, it's Xiangri, is the game over?" Shangshanyou tilted his head, his eyes still a little hazy, and saw that it was Xiangri Yueren who came, and said casually.
“You bastard…”
Xiangri was so angry that she laughed at Shangshanyou's action.
"Shangshan, when did you become like Jiro? We were all watching the game, but you sneaked in to sleep."
Xiangri squatted down, pulled Shanyou's clothes, and said unhappily.
"The competition is too boring. There are no good opponents in the regional competition. I can only take a break. Atobe has been staring at me every day these days."
Shang Shanyou slowly sat up straight and shrugged.
"Well, it seems so..."
Kamisama Yu's words made Xiang Hi choke. These days, Atobe was indeed very strict with tennis and even put many student union matters aside.
"That Atobe said the finals were about to start, so he asked me to come and find you."
Xiangri found that the topic was somewhat diverted by Shangshanyou, so he quickly told him the real purpose of his visit.
"So soon, we're already in the finals. Haha~ Let's go, it's time to rest enough!" Shangshan You yawned, then got up.
A good sleep in such weather made him feel very comfortable all over.
"Not over there, but over here!"
Mukai Gakuto rubbed his eyebrows and quickly grabbed Uesugi Yuu who was walking in the wrong direction.
"Haha, is that so? It seems I did sleep a little too long." Shangshan You scratched his face, a little embarrassedly.
He said he just came out for a walk, but he didn't even notice the venue had changed. It was really embarrassing.
"So you, Shangshan, can be so reckless sometimes." Xiangri chuckled. It was rare to see Shangshan You like this. Usually, Shangshan You was too serious, both in life and study.
"Haha, let's go."
Shang Shan smiled without saying anything. This was just his way of relaxing occasionally.
Talk while walking.
When the two arrived at the central final court, the game had already begun.
A doubles match is going on on the court.
At a glance, it can be seen that Hyotei has the upper hand. Even if it is the second team, they are no match for the opponent.
Uesugi Yuu spotted Atobe right away. Atobe was still the same, sitting in the stands watching with an elegant smile on his face. Except for Akutagawa Jiro who was snoring, everyone else was quite serious.
Seeing Uesugi Yuu coming over, Atobe nodded to him.
He had no other intention in asking Xiangri to call Shangshan You back, but as it was the first championship won under his leadership, he still wanted everyone to be present.
Well...even though it was only first place in the regional competition.
Uesugi Yuu didn't think much about what Tobe meant. He thought there was nothing wrong, so he probably meant it was almost over, so he called him back to take a look.
"Yes, this seems to be my first championship as well."
Looking at the opponent's doubles team that was already losing ground on the court, Uesugi Yuu couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.
Boom!
"The game is over. Game, Hyotei Academy, 6-0!"
…
"Game, Hyotei Academy, 6-0!"
…
"Game, Hyotei Academy, 6-0!"
…
In twenty minutes, all three games were over!
Hyotei once again won the regional championship with a sweep. Although this was the nth regional championship, all the members of the tennis club cheered.
When we shook hands, the other party looked a little unhappy, but at least they made it to the Metropolitan Competition which will start next month, which is a good result.
"Atobe, go up!"
Uesugi Yu gave a gentle push from behind to Atobe. The awards ceremony was about to begin, so how could he, the minister, be absent?
It can be seen that although Atobe looks down on the regional competition, he is still very happy to take on this championship.
Here, after Hyotei once again won the East District Championship, schools in other districts quickly received the news.
Ginka, Yamabuki, etc. These veteran teams have sent intelligence personnel to various regions to collect information about possible opponents. This is a common practice.
As the top seed in Tokyo, Hyotei was naturally the focus of their observation. They got the news of Hyotei's victory immediately.
However.
When they got this information, they all frowned.
Hyotei may have only sent out the second team and won the game directly. Almost no one made a move on the mysterious freshmen in their first team, especially the new director they cared about so much.
What kind of strength does the person who can overthrow the old era of Hyotei have? Many schools are on high alert.
…
On the other side of the city.
Tokyo's Seishundai Gakuen is still struggling in the regional competition.
Tezuka pushed his glasses up on his nose, his eyes looking a little cold.
He never expected that Coach Ryuqi would allow two third-year students who usually had very low attendance rates to play.
At this point, they had already lost a doubles game. If they lost this game again, Tezuka couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of this.
Before, some third-year students had been looking for trouble with him, wanting to use him as a target to establish their authority. After he dealt with the situation forcefully, it was Captain Yamato who came out to mediate, and the matter was finally dropped.
He remembered that the guy wanted to fight with him at that time!
Tezuka looked at Takei Kenshi who was in a miserable state on the field, and felt no sympathy at all.
as I thought.
Under the taunting of the first doubles team of Kakigi Junior High School, Qingxue lost another game.
At that time, the two people who bullied the freshmen by relying on their status as seniors did not dare to fight back and fled in disgrace.
The total score is 2-0!
Tezuka couldn't help but think back to when he was training with a German club, where only the strong had the final say on the field...
At this moment, a hand patted Tezuka's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
"Tezuka, don't worry, we haven't lost yet!" Yamato comforted Tezuka with a smile.
In his opinion, since freshmen like Tezuka were watching this kind of game for the first time, he would naturally worry about his school losing.
"Tsk, Yamato, even if we lose, so what? We've already entered the Metropolitan Tournament anyway."
Takei, who had just finished the game, said a little annoyed. In his opinion, Yamato's words just now were meant to mock him.
"And that damn first-year! He'll be in trouble sooner or later!" Takei glanced at Tezuka's cold expression and said with resentment in his heart.
It was Tezuka who embarrassed him in front of everyone, which resulted in many people laughing at him.
"Takei, even if you lost the game, you can't say such discouraging words. The game isn't over yet!" Hearing Takei's words, Yamato's face darkened and he scolded directly.
Although he had no right to decide the appearance of the players, as the minister, he was fully capable of reprimanding Takei for such wrong behavior .
"Oh, whatever you want!"
Wu Ju snorted coldly, his attitude was still quite bad.
At this time, even the man who was playing doubles with him couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled him and said, "Okay, Wu Ju, stop talking."
After all, they lost very badly. Wu Ju snorted twice and then sat down with a gloomy face.
At this time, the sound of laughter continued to be heard from Kakigi Middle School.
"Tsk, is this Qingxue?"
…
"I heard that the legendary samurai Nanjiro graduated from Qingxue! Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
…
"Hey, do you think they will start fighting among themselves?"
“Hehehe…”
…
Yamato's face looked a little ugly, and he cursed Takei as a bastard in his heart.
He suppressed his anger. It was his turn next, and he would make those bastards on the opposite side shut up.
Tezuka said nothing about this, and the first-year students who were close to him in the tennis club were also silent.
Not only are they not getting along well with each other in their own tennis club, but they are also being mocked and ridiculed by their opponents, which makes Kikumaru and his friends very uncomfortable.
Only Fuji's eyes were slightly opened, and his azure blue pupils looked a little cold.
Just keep watching...
As a result, Yamato won and Seigaku lost.
With a total score of 3-1, they only got the runner-up in the regional competition.
In this regard, everyone in the tennis club who was used to it did not have many regrets, except Yamato, who seemed a little aggrieved, as he had always hoped to lead Seigaku to the national level.
pity……
Coach Ryuqi just encouraged everyone not to lose heart and to keep working hard in the competition.
After returning to school, when the news about Hyotei came, Tezuka felt even worse.
He still remembered the young man's words. Now it seemed that it was also a challenge from the other party.
…
Without the sadness and frustration of Seigaku, the boys of Hyotei raised the medal together.
In their opinion, the era of Ice Emperor will begin with this championship!
