Chapter 36 The Final Opponent
“You bastard!”
As soon as Uesugi Yuu left the stage, Atobe walked up to him with a smile and punched him in the chest.
" Is that last national-level freshman you told me about earlier at Qingxue?"
Atobe crossed his arms over his chest and said with a confident look.
"Yeah, but as you can see, he can't play yet, so I said before that he is irrelevant, uh... at least this year!"
Shangshan You did not refute and said with a smile.
"Heh... stupid!"
Atobe's tone was somewhat sarcastic, and it was unclear whether he was talking about Seigaku or Tezuka.
For Atobe, both Seigaku and Tezuka had problems. One was that they did not know how to use the national-level combat power, and the other was that they had strong strength but did not strive for it.
"Well... don't say that. Maybe after this match, Seigaku will become our Hyotei's biggest rival." Uesugi Yuu narrowed his eyes and replied to Atobe. It seems that all of Tezuka's special moves just happen to restrain Atobe.
Atobe snorted and chuckled, looking very confident, and it was obvious that he didn't quite believe what Uesugi Yuu said.
Uesugi Yuu understands Atobe's feelings very well. They are not afraid of opponents appearing on the road ahead. They only feel sorry for their companions who are bound by shackles and stop.
And Tezuka didn't even break the shackles, so naturally, Master Atobe wouldn't be afraid.
"Haha, whatever you want..." An inexplicable smile appeared on Shangshan You's face.
Seeing Uesugi Yu's expression, Shishido Ryo, who had been listening silently, felt a chill on his back, and he silently prayed for the minister in his heart.
Listening to the discussion between the two strongest people in the team, Oshitari and the others quietly memorized the name of Seigaku. Although Seigaku was very weak based on its performance today, according to Kamisama Yuu, its potential should not be underestimated.
After solving the problem of Qingxue, Shangshanyou felt much more relieved. With the way he exposed Qingxue today, it was estimated that it would irritate a large number of people.
"But I feel like I've become a big villain." Shangshan You rubbed his eyebrows and thought that his behavior today was really a bit like Rikkai University two years later.
Hehehe…
In the fourth round of the quarter-finals, Hyotei faced Takagiji Junior High School and also won 3-0.
Next, their semi-final opponent is Yinhua Middle School. On the other side, Yamabuki vs. St. Rudolph.
Compared to the three veteran teams, Hyotei, Yamabuki and Ginka, St. Rudolph is much less famous.
However, in this tournament, St. Rudolph's performance was particularly outstanding. This church-run secondary school, which only established its tennis club three years ago, was the biggest dark horse in this tournament.
Interestingly, their minister is also a first-year student, just like Hyotei.
At the beginning of the month, this name appeared for the first time in the information of many schools.
With his delicate tennis style and solid tennis foundation, although he did not show any particularly powerful skills, he defeated his opponent very easily.
It is said that it was after he joined that St. Rudolph implemented a series of institutional reforms, which greatly enhanced the overall strength of the school's tennis.
“Crack~”
Inoue Mamoru seized the opportunity to give Guan Yueyue a close-up.
Not to mention the strength of the newcomer Guan Yuechu, his ability in managing the tennis club alone is quite good.
Mamoru Inoue observed that the St. Rudolph players did not show much nervousness on their faces, even though they were next facing Yamabuki, who always traveled all over the country.
"It feels like a lot of people suddenly emerged this year." Inoue Mamoru was silent in his heart. He vaguely felt that a great wave of the times was about to come.
Especially since the publisher had recently sent him a message informing him that many talented new students had appeared at the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School in Kanagawa Prefecture, and their president and vice president were both freshmen. He was even more certain of his guess.
Not only Hyotei, but even the Kanto overlord like Rikkai University and other national strong teams have experienced such changes, which is already very unusual.
"I don't know if Saori can handle it over there alone."
When thinking of Rikkai University, Mamoru Inoue thought of the interns he was supervising. He felt a little uneasy about Shiba Saori's personality.
…
While the metropolitan competition was being held, the prefectural competition in Kanagawa Prefecture was also in full swing.
boom!
"Game, Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, 6-0."
"The game is over, the total score is 3-0, Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School wins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the third singles player of the opposing tennis team fell to the ground.
"Is he really a first-year student? He is so powerful..."
Many people outside the stadium felt their scalps tingling as they watched this match. Sanada used this match to show them what suppression power is.
That terrifying invisible racket back-swing made the opponent lose all their spirit in just two games, and the match turned into a one-sided massacre.
"Oh! Too lax."
Sanada pulled down the brim of his hat slightly and looked with disdain at the opponent he had defeated. Even though the opponent was the runner-up team, he no longer had the desire to shake hands and walked directly back to his own team.
"Oh my, you are worthy of being our vice minister. You won the game in just seven minutes~"
Maori Jusaburo lay on his back without any rules, watching that Sanada had finished the game, and joked with a smile.
"What a nasty sound, you bastard..."
Sanada, who had a serious face, was instantly broken by this transfer senior. If Yukimura hadn't told him, he would have wanted to fight this lazy guy and teach him a lesson.
“Hehehe…”
Mori Jusaburo was not afraid at all. Sanada's angry look might scare other people in the club, but it couldn't scare him.
He transferred from Shitenhoji, and there were not so many rules. When he joined Rikkai University Tennis Club, he had been playing before, so he signed up for the familiar tennis club.
Unexpectedly, he found two national-level freshmen inside, especially the director Seiichi Yukimura, whose background even he couldn't figure out.
This immediately aroused his interest. Perhaps in the next three years, Rikkai University would be able to accomplish the goal that Makuno Teng and his group of perverts had failed to achieve.
"Okay, let's go up and claim our prize!"
A gentle voice sounded, and Yukimura ended the farce between the two. Such scenes have happened many times in the past few months.
For some reason, Mori Jusaburo doesn't interact much with the other members, but he particularly likes to tease Sanada.
Of course, he was only able to do this every time because of his strength. Sanada had practiced kendo for many years, and the aura he carried was not something that everyone could withstand.
The people of Rikkai University calmly accepted the awards of the county competition. It was not as intense as the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, and there were countless trophies like this in their school's display room.
"A championship won so easily is far from enough." Yukimura held the medal in his hand, and he thought of the boy who defeated Sanada.
"We'll see each other again at the Kanto Tournament next month!" A glimmer of expectation flashed in Yukimura's eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a breeze swept through his blue hair, making him look particularly gentle.
…
"Wow! So beautiful~"
Click... click...
Off the court.
Shiba Saori screamed in her heart, and then she pointed the camera at everyone at Rikkai University and started taking pictures.
Especially Yukimura who was in the middle. Yukimura's last heartwarming smile made her feel as gentle as the breeze on her face.
She was a little dissatisfied when her senior sent her to Kanagawa to collect materials. But after seeing the powerful strength of Rikkai University and the charming boys of all kinds, she instantly became excited.
"With so much material, Senior Inoue will definitely praise her this time. Hehehe..." Shiba Saori covered her face with her hands, already imagining the scene of herself becoming a full-time employee and being able to take charge of things on her own .
On the other side, the competition of the capital competition is still proceeding as planned.
the second week.
Hyotei versus Ginka.
After advancing to the semi-finals, Coach Sakaki became much more cautious and sent out all the players from Team One to face Ginka.
Many people who are familiar with the Hyotei system have really started to collect intelligence on the Hyotei players.
"1-0"
"2-0"
…
"3-0"
Cleanly and neatly, Hyotei still defeated Ginka. Even though the situation was a little tense in the doubles match against Ginka, in the end the combination of Ryo Shishido and Taketo Mukai still won with a score of 6-4 relying on their personal strength.
"It seems that the previous training was very useful for Shishido. Although the cooperation between the two is not tacit, Shishido is already familiar with the overall control of the doubles rhythm."
"But their physical strength may be a hidden danger. Once they encounter opponents who are good at defensive counterattacks, they will be caught in a tug-of-war."
While the game was going on below, Uesugi Yuu and Atobe were analyzing each person's shortcomings one after another.
With their current vision, they can discover many weaknesses of other members, which are an important basis for everyone to continue to improve themselves in the future.
However, these are things they will consider later. Now there is only one team left in front of them.
Yamabuki? Or Saint Rudolph?
…
Half an hour later.
"Yamabuki wins!"
Oshitari came from another stadium and brought back news about their final opponent.
Defeat Yamabuki! Everyone has the desire for the championship in their eyes.
