Chapter 34: The Weak Qingxue
When Uesugi Yu returned to the Hyotei Stadium, their second round of the game had already ended.
"Shangshan, where have you been slacking off again? I haven't seen you for the entire game."
Mukai Gakuto put his hands behind his head and said to Uesugi Yuu who was approaching.
"I'm going to observe the opponent's intelligence. By the way, have you seen Coach Sakaki?"
Shangshanyou made up an excuse casually, and asked him with a smile, not caring whether Xiangri and the others believed it or not.
"Coach Sakaki should go submit the roster for the next game."
"good!"
Shangshanyou waved his hand and immediately walked towards the organizer's office.
"Why does Shangshan feel so hurried?"
Xiangri watched Shangshanyou coming and going in a hurry, and looked at his teammates beside him with some confusion.
Atobe stroked his chin with one hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Oshitari, which team will be our opponent in the next round?" Atobe thought for a moment and asked with interest.
"After this round of promotion, the next round should be Seigakuen." Oshitari pushed his glasses and accurately gave the information they had received not long ago.
"How strong is Seigakuen ? Are there any particularly powerful newcomers?" Atobe's eyes lit up, and he felt that he was about to guess it.
"Bull, no, the members registered by Seishun Gakuen this time are all second- and third-year members, there are no first-year members.
And their overall strength is very weak, only Buchou-da and Yu-da are of decent strength. "
Oshitari probably guessed what Atobe was thinking as well. With a unique smile, he told him the information about Seishun Gakuen one by one.
Atobe was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled coolly: "It seems that I am overthinking it. Maybe Uesugi wants to see Coach Sakaki about something else."
Xiang Hi found the conversation between Atobe and Oshitari a bit strange, as they somehow ended up talking about Seigakuen.
"Hey, Shishido, do you understand?" Xiang Hi gently nudged Shishido Ryo with his shoulder and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm? Xiangri, what's up? I didn't hear you clearly just now?"
Shishido Ryo, who has been immersed in self-reflection recently, didn't care what gossip they were talking about. Just now, he thought Xiangri wanted to talk to him about something.
"Uh... forget it, just continue!" Xiang Ri held his forehead and said speechlessly. His friend's strength has improved rapidly recently, but he seems to have become a little confused.
This one.
When Uesugi Yu ran to the organizer's office, Coach Sakaki was sitting on a bench with his eyes closed.
He still had a few forms in his hands, and it looked like the players had not yet been submitted.
Shang Shanyou straightened his expression and walked over.
"Coach Sakaki~"
"Um."
Taro Sakaki opened his eyes and glanced at Yu Uesugi in front of him with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Coach Sakaki, I want to play three solo games in the next match, is that okay?"
Shangshan You did not hide anything and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
"You want to go on stage?" Sakaki Taro looked a little strange. But he didn't ask any more questions. He thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
The next opponent was Seigakuen, who posed no threat, so he did not refuse Uesugi Yuu's simple request.
"Thank you, Coach Sakaki!" After seeing Taro Sakaki agree, Uesugi Yu thanked him softly.
"I'll go get ready first."
After completing his goal, Uesugi Yuu was ready to run away. This kind of action of asking the coach to change the order of the members' appearance is actually not a good idea.
"Well, go ahead."
Taro Sakaki waved his hand gently to signal Uesugi Yuu to leave on his own.
After Shangshanyou walked away, there was a hint of thought in his eyes.
"Is it someone you care about, or is it a rival?" Compared to Atobe's guess, Sakaki Taro was much more experienced and roughly guessed something.
He gently pinched open the second page with his fingers and filled in Shangshan You's name in the third blank.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The third round of the competition officially began after the lunch break.
At this time, a stadium was crowded with people and cheers could be heard from time to time.
Boom!
"Shishido Ryo and Akutagawa Jiro score!"
"Game, Hyotei Academy, 6-0!"
"The game is over, Hyotei Academy wins!"
…
"The winner is Hyotei!"
…
"The winner is Hyotei!"
…
After Hyotei won the doubles match in just ten minutes, Hyotei's cheerleaders were in high spirits, shouting and cheering for the players.
The fierce momentum made Qingxue feel a huge pressure. They finally understood why other schools were so afraid of Hyotei.
"too strong……"
After watching the two games, Kikumaru deeply felt the strength that Qian had mentioned before.
With two quick 6-0 wins, the seniors from Qingxue didn't have the energy to fight back.
Especially the two first-year students who appeared later gave him a great shock. Could it be that first-year students could be so strong?
Although he had seen Tezuka defeat senior students in the club before, the impact that time was far from as direct as that in a formal competition.
The other people around him did not refute his words. Everyone could see that among the two pairs of doubles, the two freshmen who played later were very special.
"The one with the hat is very good at volleying, and the one with sleepy eyes is very skilled at the net. The combination of the two makes a fast attack that most people can't handle."
Qian, who was beside Kikumaru, was recording everything quickly in his little notebook, writing it down and repeating it at the same time.
Qian's explanation made many people around him feel a little more enlightened, and they understood some of the other side's means of winning.
"Only the talent of Qian..."
Bu Er looked at Qian in surprise. He suddenly discovered that this usually taciturn classmate was also quite secretive.
As for Tezuka...
Um!?
Fuji found that Tezuka's brows were furrowed, and his eyes were fixed on someone opposite him. It was the first time he saw Tezuka so persistent.
Who is the one……
There was a hint of seriousness in those deep blue eyes.
"Now we will start the singles three match."
"Yamato Yudai of Seigakuen vs. Uesugi Yu of Hyotei Academy."
! ! ? ?
The referee's voice came through the radio, and the members of Hyotei's first and second teams all looked at Uesugi Yuu who was sitting there leisurely.
"Hey, why does this guy suddenly want to play? Was it arranged by the coach?" Kaida Shin glanced at the others, poked Sakamoto Kumaji next to him with his elbow, and said in a low voice.
"I don't know either." Sakamoto Kumaji shook his head. Didn't he see that the others had the same expression as him?
"I don't know what's going on, but the other side is in trouble." Sakamoto Kumaji shrugged.
"Indeed!" Kaitian Xin nodded subconsciously.
They now have no idea how strong Kamishima Yu is. During the previous training period, Kamishima Yu left a deep impression on them.
In addition to the daily training matches, they have more or less figured out that Atobe probably cannot beat Uesugi Yu.
"interesting!"
Atobe leaned back slightly, crossed his hands and placed them on his right knee, looking at Oshitari with a playful look.
I guessed half right. Shangshan actually asked Coach Sakaki to play.
Oshitari understood the look in Atobe's eyes, pushed his glasses and said nothing . A hint of surprise flashed across his face when he heard the broadcast. Ignoring Atobe's smug look, he turned his head and looked at the court.
In front of the net.
"Hello! Minister Yamato, I've long heard of you!" Uesugi Yu smiled and shook hands with Yamato Yudai.
It was the man in front of him, wearing round-frame sunglasses and with long dark green hair, who changed the trajectory of Tezuka Middle School's life in those three years.
