Chapter 31: Fiasco
The atmosphere warmed up a little after the players from Kamada Academy left.
Although the others were still a little afraid, their emotions gradually calmed down.
No matter what, the rule breakers are normal people and they won't fight them unreasonably. If it weren't for that idiot Kamata's deliberate provocation, nothing would have happened.
"Um... are you here to play ball as well?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting dull again, a questioning voice came from somewhere in the crowd.
After these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to the two young men.
Shishido Ryo suddenly felt a huge pressure again. Unlike the first time when he was nervous, this time he roughly guessed what kind of training task Uesugi Yuu would give him.
"Yes, of course we came here to play tennis, otherwise why would we come here?"
Facing everyone's gazes, Uesugi Yuu spoke calmly and led Shishido Ryo casually to the edge of the court.
Without waiting for Shishido Ryo to react, he took the bag off Shishido Ryo's shoulder, then gave him a gentle push. Shishido Ryo staggered and walked into the court.
"Who is the strongest among you on this court right now?"
Putting down the two people's backpacks casually, Shangshanyou glanced at the entire audience and asked with a condescending attitude.
Everyone was shocked. Is it coming again?
"Ahem... this court should be our strongest right now."
Haneyama's Yulin and Ogawa would rank in the middle even in the metropolitan competition.
The person who spoke was Yu Lin from the Pinshan Academy group. Although he looked a little embarrassed, one could still hear his confidence from his tone.
"Hey, do you want to die? That's the guy in the legend..."
Ogawa, who recognized Uesugi Yuu before, was startled when he saw his partner coming forward. He quickly pulled his companion and whispered a warning. He had seen Uesugi Yuu's horror before.
Uh... Yu Lin's expression froze, but the words had already been said. Didn't he see that everyone else had acquiesced? Even the doubles team that had previously fought fiercely with the two of them had left the court.
Shangshan You ignored their mutterings . Seeing that no one else spoke up to refute him, he naturally thought that what they said was correct.
"Very good, let's have a game!"
Shang Shanyou raised his eyebrows and said to the two people from Pinshan.
"……good!"
The two hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, and finally agreed.
The Uesugi Yu in front of them was not as unreasonable as the legend said. He was quite easy to communicate with, so they naturally did not refuse.
Even if you can't win, you can still see the strength of this legendary person.
"Okay, let's start the game. I'll be the referee."
Seeing that the two of them agreed very readily, Uesugi Yuu did not waste any time. He winked at Shishido Ryo and spoke directly.
call!
Shishido Ryo naturally saw the hint given to him by Uesugi Yuu, took a deep breath and relieved his own tension.
His expression quickly calmed down, and he took the racket given to him by Shangshanyou and stood between the serving line and the baseline with a serious expression.
Compared to singles, the doubles court is larger, which is a huge test for him, and the opponent is obviously not a weak player either.
"Ah...um...aren't we playing doubles?"
The two people from Pinshan waited for a while, and saw that Shangshan You was still sitting on the side of the court without any intention of going on the court, and their faces suddenly turned ugly.
The two of them didn't dare to turn hostile directly, so they held back their anger and asked Shang Shanyou.
"Yeah, it's a doubles match, but he said he can do it alone!"
Uesugi Yuu looked at the two people who were holding their breath with a bit of amusement in his heart, and pointed at Shishido Ryo and explained seriously.
"Is that so? It seems like the guy is very confident!"
Yulin and Ogawa suppressed their anger. At this moment, they finally understood why their predecessors couldn't stand Uesugi Yuu.
Doubles up one, this feeling of being looked down upon, really is...
The guys watching outside the field were also staring at Shishido Ryo in amazement.
"I didn't expect the companions of the rule breaker to be so arrogant."
"Yeah, otherwise why would they come here together."
"As expected of a street tennis court rule breaker..."
…
The crowd outside the field was whispering, and at this moment they were somewhat glad that the player above was not them.
Fighting one against two, it's embarrassing if you win; it's even more embarrassing if you lose.
"What you just said was really bad..."
Shishido Ryo turned his head to glance at Uesugi Yu, and immediately listed Uesugi Yu as the person who should not be provoked by anyone in his mind.
I don't know if Pinshan and the other man have heard the lie of Shangshan You, but for their next opponent...
They will show no mercy!
Game start!
The first game was served by the doubles team of Pinshan College.
Boom!
"coming!"
Shishido Ryo looked at the tennis ball falling to the ground quickly, his expression unchanged, and he moved quickly to the landing point.
Snapped!
This touch.
Shishido Ryo's face changed. He thought he was mentally prepared, but the feeling of the racket touching the ball still surprised him.
After the loose net wire covered the tennis ball, the power from his arm was immediately dispersed by 70%. The ball flew past slowly with a strange sound.
"Boy, are you looking down on us?" After feeling the power of the ball, Ogawa became even more ashamed and angry.
boom!
Shishido Ryo's non-threatening ball was fiercely hit back by Ogawa.
Shishido Ryo's face froze. He really wanted to let his opponent see his strength, but before he got used to this racket, he could only defend himself.
Boom!
Boom!
After a simple test of pulling against each other, the two people from Shinshan found that Shishido Ryo's level seemed to be just like that.
"Hahaha, what?... Turns out this kid is just a half-baked guy!"
Yulin glanced at Uesugi Yuu who still looked calm beside him, and laughed sarcastically at Shishido Ryo.
In their eyes, Shishido Ryo's return of the tennis ball was not very powerful except for his fast running speed. His strength was just average.
"If that's all you are, then..."
The two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding of long-term partners instantly made them take action.
boom!
A smile flashed across Ogawa's lips, and he hit a curve ball.
Shishido Ryo was concentrating very hard. Just as his body was about to move, it stopped again in an instant. He judged that the ball had gone out of bounds.
Snapped!
The tennis ball lands.
"Game, Pinshan, score 15-0."
The tennis ball fell to the ground and hit between the doubles and singles lines.
"Boy, this game is a doubles match!"
Ogawa said with a hint of teasing in his eyes. After knowing the level of his opponent, the craziness he had when he played on street courts for a long time returned.
Even if the legendary young man is right next to him, he probably won't take action, right?
Shishido Ryo glanced at Ogawa sharply, feeling annoyed at his own negligence.
He almost forgot that this was a tag team match, even though he was fighting alone.
The game continues...
After his details were revealed, Shishido Ryo began to be stretched thin. As the defensive range on the court became larger and Yulin and Ogawa worked well together, he kept losing points.
Boom!
"Game, Pinshan, 4-0!"
…
Boom!
“5-0!”
Boom!
…
"Game, Pinshan, 6-1."
"The game is over, Pinshan wins!"
Shishido Ryo was breathing heavily, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
Although he gradually adapted to the feel of the wooden racket later on, especially in the last two games, his quick returns made Ogawa and Yulin feel difficult at one point.
But the overall rhythm of this doubles match has long been in the hands of the opposing Pinshan duo. Street tennis players have a certain understanding of rhythm control.
His failure was doomed from the beginning .
"Let's go."
Uesugi Yu threw a towel to Shishido Ryo, indicating that he could prepare to leave.
Uesugi Yu's words stunned Shishido Ryo. He raised his head slightly and saw Uesugi Yu's cold expression through his wet hair.
Shishido Ryo seemed to have suffered some kind of blow. He could only follow Uesugi Yuu step by step with lifeless eyes.
Wow……
After Uesugi Yu and Shishido Ryo walked away, there was a huge noise coming from the stadium.
"Ogawa, Yulin, well done, you actually won!" No one mentioned the embarrassing thought in their minds anymore, and all of them praised them.
Although Shangshan You did not play, they still remembered that Shangshan You mentioned doubles . They only had two people, so doubles naturally included himself.
Ogawa and Yulin looked at the people who gathered around them excitedly, and they felt very happy. Although this victory felt a bit strange, it was a win after all.
They managed to maintain the reputation of their area.
