Chapter 43: Exchange Competition Begins

Three days later, Hyotei Academy Tennis Club.

"welcome!"

Taro Sakaki reached out and held the hand of the somewhat ruffian young man in front of him.

Although Watanabe Osamu always had a serious expression on his face, this demeanor still did not pass muster with Sakaki Taro.

However, Taro Sakaki is not a person who only pays attention to appearance. He does not underestimate the ability of the man in front of him. He has already learned a lot about Watanabe Osamu.

Being able to lead the declining Shitenhoji Temple to such a level at the age of only twenty-something, he is truly a man of character.

at the same time.

The Hyotei team also shook hands with the Shitenhoji team members.

In an exchange match, the atmosphere must be valued, especially since this is at the Ice Emperor's home ground.

On the other side, Uesugi Yuya took this opportunity to take a good look at the members of Shitenhoji.

Excluding the captain, Hei Zenyuki, this lineup is basically the top four lineup of Shitenhoji next year.

and……

Uesugi Yu's gaze quickly turned to Shiraishi Kuranosuke 's left arm.

"So you brought it with you when you were in the first grade of junior high school!"

Shangshan You narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat shocked, and glanced inconspicuously at Watanabe Osamu who was wearing a straw hat.

Do you trust Shiraishi Kuranosuke so much?

It's only been more than two months since the school started, and he dared to give all his assets to a first-year junior high school student.

Whether it is vision or belief, Uesugi Yuu must admit that he is indeed courageous.

Not only Kamishima Yu, but everyone else was also sizing each other up while shaking hands.

Regardless of the fact that everyone is in the same freshman year or that the coaches of both sides have previously explained the situation, both sides are very curious about their opponents.

The first thing Atobe's eyes fell on was Shiraishi Kuranosuke. As expected, it was the super rookie of Shitenhoji that Uesugi Yu had told him about before.

Shiraishi also looked at Atobe with a fighting spirit. In his opinion, the Hyotei leader in front of him should be the strongest of Hyotei. After all, Atobe had not concealed his aura since just now.

The two brothers Oshitari naturally knew each other. When they met again under such circumstances, Ken Oshitari wanted to prove himself in front of his cousin. After all, Yuushi Oshitari was "someone else's child" most of the time.

However, Yuushi Oshitari felt a little surprised. He never thought that his cousin, who was usually inconspicuous, would become the regular candidate of another school.

interesting!

The game hasn't even started yet, but the players from both teams are already eager to try.

soon.

After Sakaki Taro and Watanabe Osamu discussed for a while, the two came in front of everyone.

Taro Sakaki swept his eyes across the court with dignity and said directly: "The tennis exchange between the two schools this time is divided into two parts. The first part is a training match exchange, which will include three doubles and three singles matches."

"The second part is the five-day joint training afterwards."

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

Taro Sakaki spoke briefly and to the point, his voice was low but full of power.

"yes!"

Seeing everyone's attitude, Sakaki Taro nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at Watanabe Osamu and asked softly, "Coach Watanabe, do you have any other questions?"

Watanabe Osamu shook his head. To be honest, Sakaki Taro put a lot of pressure on him, and he really had nothing to say. He had said everything he needed to say when he came.

"Well, then let's follow the battle order we discussed before." Sakaki Taro said with a stern face.

Watanabe Osamu also nodded seriously. The two of them had some understanding of the members of their own team, and this exchange match was prepared to learn from each other's strengths and overcome their weaknesses.

After all, their next opponents will be a huge challenge for them.

“Warm up for half an hour!”

Everyone dispersed silently and began to warm up in their own way.

Half an hour later.

"Now we will start the first singles match, between Hyotei Academy's Oshitari Yuushi and Shitenhoji's Oshitari Kenya!"

coming!

Everyone's eyes lit up.

I didn’t expect that the first game would be a showdown between these two brothers.

In the eyes of everyone in Hyotei, Oshige Yuushi's strength is second only to Atobe and Uesugi; and in the eyes of everyone in Shitenhoji, Oshige Ken's strength is equally extraordinary.

Some people watched this show.

On the court.

Kenya Oshitari originally thought that he would be nervous when facing his cousin. However, after hearing the announcement, he was not nervous at all, but on the contrary, he was full of anticipation.

This match seemed like something he had been waiting for for a long time. He wanted to prove that in some aspects, he, Ken Oshitani, was just as good as Yuushi Oshitani.

Kenye Oshitari looked at his cousin with burning eyes, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

In response to Kenya's strong fighting spirit, Oshitari Yuushi just rolled his eyes and walked onto the court with a calm face.

"It seems that Kenya is very motivated today." Hara Tetsu was a little surprised at Kenya Oshitsuka's high morale.

“Maybe he wants to prove something!”

Shiraishi on the side smiled and said, Qianye is not like this usually. Whenever he wants to prove something, he will become completely different.

"Oh! Qianye, come on! You look so handsome like this~" Suddenly, Golden Xiaochun twisted his body outside the court and let out a strange cry.

Koharu's shout made Shiraishi and Hara Tetsu frown. They subconsciously moved to the side. It was so embarrassing.

Uesugi Yuu and Atobe looked at the big man who was acting shy with a strange look on their faces. They felt a chill and got goosebumps.

"Haha, the contestants from Shitenhoji are really humorous..."

…

"Xiaochun, shut up!"

Kenya Oshitari felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he felt that his image in front of his cousin had been shattered.

"Haha... your school's players really have personality."

Taro Sakaki looked at Watanabe Osamu next to him with a strange look and said something indifferently.

"Uh, haha... this is their special way of cheering..."

Watanabe Osamu's mouth twitched and he almost dropped the toothpick in his mouth. Facing Coach Sakaki's words, he could only smile bitterly.

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as Koharu and Yuji's strength improves faster and faster."

Watanabe Osamu comforted himself in his heart. At the beginning, he just reminded Xiaochun a few words and didn't expect it to turn out like this.

However, this is also a reflection of his "funny tennis" philosophy. Whether it is the previous Taira Yoshiyuki or the current Koharu and Yuji, they are indeed stronger.

After a small disturbance outside the court, the referee announced loudly:

"The game begins, Ken'ya Oshitari serves."

"One plate is over!"

…

Snapped.

Snapped…

Qianye tapped the tennis ball and looked at Yushi's court with focused eyes.

Swish!

The next moment, he gently tossed the tennis ball, bent his body backward, and while the racket was spinning, he hit the tennis ball hard.

boom!

A stream of yellow light flew towards the Yushi Stadium.

"What a fast speed..."

Yu Shi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect the serve to be like this at the beginning.

"But... it's still a little bit lacking. " Yu Shi's glasses flashed a sharp light. Compared with Uesugi Yuu and Atobe, this serve was relatively slow.

Step…Step…

Holding the racket tightly, Yu Shi took two steps and arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball.

He spread his feet apart, lowered his center of gravity, and twisted the racket slightly.

Boom!

The tennis ball flew back at a faster speed.

"Super high-speed interception!"

Shishido outside the field was shocked. The move that Ozuki Yuuji just used was a fighting style he developed after integrating himself.

He relied on this kick to defeat Taki Oginosuke and become a regular on the first team, and now he can use it so easily...

He felt somewhat complicated.

Yushi's move also made the eyes of the people in Shitenhoji light up. But soon, they all showed a smile on their faces.

What is Ken'ya Oshitari best at?

…
