Chapter 56 Off-site Negotiation
Vending machines.
Yuushi Oshitari took out a can of soda from it.
“The weather is still so hot.”
Oshitari walked slowly under the shade of the tree, looking at the mottled flares on the ground, his thoughts drifting away.
"My future path... the realm of no self...?"
Thinking of what Coach Sakaki and Yu Uesugi said to him after that training session, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
The sparse sunlight shone through the intertwined leaves onto his gently trembling dark blue short hair, giving him a unique charm.
"Hello, Oshitari Yuushi of Hyotei!"
At some point, a feminine voice interrupted his thoughts. A feminine boy about his age blocked his way.
"Who are you?"
Oshitari looked carefully and frowned slightly. He didn't have any impression of such a person.
"Saint Rudolph, watch the beginning of the month."
Mitsuki stopped fiddling with her hair and extended her right hand towards Oshitari.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I know you."
However, to his surprise, Oshitari's eyes flashed slightly, and he took a sip of the cold soda in his hand and prepared to walk around him.
"Oh~ So this is all the famous Kansai Wolf Oshige Yuushi can do?"
Guanyue glanced at Inuzaka as he walked past him, but he was not angry. Instead, he said with a meaningful smile on his face.
Step…step.
"So, Mr. Guanyue from St. Rudolph, what do you want to talk to me about?"
He paused, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and turned sideways to look at the young man whom he did not like.
"Nothing, just coming to say hello to our next opponent in advance."
With a wicked smile, Guanyue couldn't help but play with the soft long hair on her forehead.
"Besides... you are the famous number three figure of Hyotei, so naturally I want to meet you in advance."
Guan Yuechu's tone subtly emphasized the word "number three", as if with a hint of provocation.
"Heh~ boring!"
Oshitari curled his lips and said with disdain, "Do they, Hyotei, need to know their opponent in front of them?"
"If that's what you want to say, then you can go back and prepare for the game against us."
Pushing his glasses, Oshitari said confidently that apart from Rikkai University Junior High School, they really didn't care about other schools.
"As expected of Hyotei who won the Metropolitan Tournament... But..."
Guan Yuechu clapped his hands lightly, looked Obito up and down, and uttered an ambiguous exclamation of admiration, then changed the subject at the end.
"But I wonder if Hyotei can defeat Nagakatsu Rikkai University this year?"
Guanyue chuckled, seeming to be quite confident about the answer to this question.
Oshitari frowned again. He felt that he couldn't understand what the man in front of him meant. Was he provoking him or was he mentally ill?
"Haha... Then you don't have to worry..."
Oshitari spoke in a cold tone, without paying any more attention to the guy from St. Rudolph in front of him, and turned and left.
"Haha...First negotiation completed..."
Silently watching Ozuki Yuushi's back as he left, Guan Yuezu smiled and whispered softly.
…
soon.
After a brief planning and arrangement of the venue, the first round of the Kanto Tournament officially began.
The stadium where Hyotei plays against St. Rudolph.
"Victory belongs to Ice Emperor!"
…
"Victory belongs to Ice Emperor!"
…
Outside the stadium, a large number of Ice Emperor cheerleaders shouted slogans in unison, and their loud cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
"Bing, Bingdi and these guys are going too far!"
The morale of the St. Rudolph tennis club, which is across the river from Hyotei, is very low. The pressure from Hyotei is so overwhelming that they are a little breathless.
There were not many people in their church school to begin with, and since they were facing Hyotei, there were only a handful .
"ice King……"
Guan Yuechu sat on the chair with a grim expression. Although he knew that they would most likely lose, Bingdi's behavior was still too overbearing.
"Then let your number three man pay the price!"
Guan Yue sneered in his heart, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the dark blue-haired boy with glasses opposite him .
…
"Next, the match between Hyotei Academy and St. Rudolph's College is about to begin."
"First, we will have the doubles match for number two..."
The referee's voice came from the radio, and the entire venue fell silent for a while.
"Go ahead, show your full strength!"
Guan Yuechu waved his hand at the two people behind him with a gloomy face and said in a very cold tone:
"Yes!"*2
Faced with Guanyue's command, the two senior students did not show any dissatisfaction. Although the young man in front of them was only a first-year, he was both their department leader and their manager.
When Guan Yuechu first arrived at the tennis club, his methods were extremely ruthless. He directly promoted a series of reforms in the St. Rudolph tennis club from the top level, and they did not dare to offend him at all.
boom!
boom!
Five minutes... Ten minutes...
St. Rudolph lost the first doubles match in just twelve minutes.
Then, in the second doubles match, they were defeated by Hyotei again after eleven minutes.
Guanyue, who was sitting on the bench, was silent throughout the whole process. The chill emanating from his body made the other members dare not approach him at all.
"I'm sorry!"*2
As soon as the doubles player from St. Rudolph came up to Guanyue, he looked ashamed and bowed his head to apologize.
They were indeed helpless in this match; the doubles team of the two third-year students from Hyotei were too strong.
"Haha~ It's okay, go down." Guan Yuechu dismissed the two people in a stern tone.
"Next, the probability of Yuushi Oshitari appearing is 78%. Are you ready?" Guan Yue stood up and murmured in his heart. His eyes looked towards the Hyotei field opposite.
"Next, the singles match for number three will begin."
"Yuushi Oshitsuki of Hyotei Academy versus Mitsuzuki Mitsuki of St. Rudolph's College."
"Both players please get ready!"
Sure enough, the tactical arrangement that Guanyue had guessed in his mind came as expected.
"We meet again, Oshitari-san."
In front of the net, Guan Yuechu smiled brightly and stretched out his right hand towards Oshitsuki.
"Ah hello!"
Inuzuka's hand clenched and then separated. Looking at the somewhat feminine face in front of him, a flash of understanding flashed through his mind.
"Hmph...boring temptation..."
Recalling the unpleasant conversation between the two before, Yuushi Oshitari walked straight to his serving area with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
…
" The match begins. Hyotei Academy's Oshitsuka Yuushi serves. The game ends."
Snapped!
Snapped!
Oshitari tapped the tennis ball twice rhythmically, then threw it upwards, stretched out his arms, and dropped the racket clenched in his hand suddenly towards the tennis ball.
boom!
A light yellow light shot towards Guanyuechu's half.
whoosh!
The speed of the tennis ball made Guan Yuechu narrow his eyes.
"It's just a normal serve, but the speed is close to 180 kilometers per hour?"
“But it’s still within expectations.”
With a confident smile, Guan Yuechu took a few steps and arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball.
boom!
The moment the tennis ball hit the ground and bounced back, Guan Yuechu seized the opportunity before the speed of the tennis ball was restored and hit it towards Oshitari's backhand.
“Nice volley.”
With just one return, Oshitsuki could tell that Mitsuki's tennis skills were definitely not weak. After easily defusing his serve, he was able to hit the tennis ball to the most appropriate place.
Step…Step…
Inuzaka was not careless and his body moved quickly. After the tennis ball landed, he made an unusual straight pull with his backhand.
boom!
The tennis ball drew a beautiful curve in the air and hit Guanyue's baseline.
"Hehe... the data matches. Given his personality, the probability of him hitting a backhand straight to the baseline in this situation is 87%, and the probability of him hitting a curve ball is 76%..."
As Guan Yuechu's eyes flickered, all the information about Ozuchi Yuushi began to be confirmed in his mind.
