Chapter 65: Under the Calm
"I'm sorry, Yukimura..."
After the scene, Yanagi Renji came to Yukimura Seiichi with a guilty look on his face and spoke softly.
"It's okay Liu, it was just a small accident, and we will still be the winner in the end."
With strong self-confidence, Yukimura smiled indifferently. He did not want to blame Yanagi Renji too much. Only those who have understood the state of selflessness know how powerful it is.
Apart from the fact that physical exhaustion is a significant disadvantage, selflessness is an unattainable state for 99% of tennis players.
"Hmph~ Let's continue practicing when we get back this time."
Unlike Yukimura, Sanada's tone remained stern. Although both of them fought hard until the last round, a loss is a loss.
For Rikkai University, which is aiming to win nationwide, Sanada hopes to carry out the team's rigorous spirit of striving for victory to the end.
"Well, we will."
Yanagi Renji and Marui Bunta both nodded. Because they had practiced kendo since childhood, Sanada's style in the competitive field was always the same. During the time they spent together in the tennis club, the two of them had already gotten used to it.
In response, Yukimura smiled and did not stop him. In the tennis club, except for very important matters, it was Sanada who usually stepped forward to be the "discipline committee member" for the general management members.
"Hey~ I think you're being too strict, Vice-Minister Sanada. It's hard for even you to handle that kind of situation."
Just when Sanada was about to let the two go down to rest, Mori Jusaburo, who was leaning on the side, spoke slowly.
Sanada's face darkened, and he was too lazy to pay attention to this lazy guy. He also found that this senior Mori was used to contradicting him.
…
"Brother Yajiudou..."
Yanagi Renji walked straight to the back of the team and came in front of Mitsuya, with a look of struggle on his face.
"No need to say more, Renji. I think I have already guessed what you want to ask. Please enjoy the following match."
With a smile on his face, Mitsuya interrupted Yanagi Renji 's words.
Since you still have doubts, then use your own eyes to see carefully. This is also the last lesson he can teach him before he leaves.
"yes…"
Pursing his lips, Yanagi Renji said nothing more. The failure of this game did indeed give him a deep impact.
the other side.
Xianghi almost carried the almost exhausted Oshina back to the team.
Oshitari had just opened up the shallow state of selflessness, and this high-intensity match consumed a lot of his physical strength, especially since they had fought with Rikkai University for nearly ten rounds.
"Quick, logistics personnel, bring us some mineral water, ice packs, and towels..."
Hyotei's lineup is very luxurious, and it's not just the cheerleaders and the two starting teams. Coach Sakaki and Atobe also took into consideration the team that guarantees logistics and handles unexpected incidents.
Hyotei is fully prepared for every match.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission~"
Oshitari leaned weakly on , but there was a happy smile on his face. The knot in his heart that had been bothering him for many days was finally broken through, and he now felt very refreshed.
"You, a wolf from Kansai, actually have a day when you become so unreserved." Uesugi Yu teased Oshitari with a smile on his face.
Oshitari really managed to turn the situation around, which was inseparable from his own efforts.
"Well done, let us take over the next step!"
Atobe also praised him. From the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, it can be seen that Atobe was also in a very happy mood. Oshitari and Mukai's performance this time completely exceeded his expectations.
…
five minutes later.
"Next, the doubles match number one is about to begin!"
"Hyotei Academy's Kaida Nobuyuki and Sakamoto Yuji versus Rikkai University Junior High School's Mitsugaya Akuto and Niou Masaharu."
The broadcast sounded, and the audience, who were still savoring the first doubles match, focused their attention once again.
Doubles number two is already so exciting, so shouldn’t doubles number one be able to take off as well?
Many people had this idea in their minds. The match between Hyotei and Rikkai University was too exciting. They could not guess the outcome of the match until the last moment.
"It's actually him!?"
Kaitian's head was shaken. He had just mentioned this tennis player with terrifying statistics not long ago, but he didn't expect to meet him this time.
"Didn't he play singles last year? Why is he playing doubles this year..."
A hint of doubt flashed through Kaida Xin's mind, but he did not dare to be careless at all. Whether it was doubles or singles, the opponent was a real national-level player.
…
"Give it a try, don't leave any regrets!"
Taro Sakaki sat in the coach's chair and didn't say much else, just a simple word of encouragement.
"Yes"*2
The two suppressed the bitterness in their hearts and their eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
This year is their last year in middle school, and it is still unclear whether they will continue to play tennis when they enter high school next year.
Rikkai University.
"Senior, please take care of me~"
Niou Masaharu spoke to Mitsuya Akuto with a serious expression.
For some reason, the gaze behind the lens of this senior always made him feel cold, as if he could see through him. Even when facing Yukimura, Sanada and others, he never had this feeling.
"Well, do your best!"
With a warm smile, Mitsuya patted the shoulder of the sly boy in front of him. As a guy who also emerged in the first grade, how could Mitsuya ignore Niou Masaharu.
Maybe others may think that Niou, with his skinny arms and legs, is not dangerous, but he senses that Niou has amazing talents in mental strength and disguise, and if you underestimate him, you will definitely suffer a great loss.
Many of the pranks in the tennis club were played by this little guy, and it was a good thing that the honest kid Sanada Genichirō didn't notice them.
"Um……"
Nodding stiffly, Niou felt that the senior in front of him was even more difficult to deal with than Vice Minister Sanada.
"Mitsuya-senpai, I'm leaving this one up to you."
Yukimura smiled gently at the two of them. This senior who was on good terms with Yanagi was actually very secretive.
"Don't worry, we are old rivals."
Mitsuya narrowed his eyes slightly. Kaida Nobuyuki and Sakamoto Yuji on the field were both members of the group that followed Ochi Gekko to fight. They were strong, but very average, and were completely insignificant .
"Their data is still preserved, we just need to reconstruct it..."
While thinking for a moment, Mitsuya was already estimating the direction and situation of the entire game.
"Let's go!"
He patted Niou on the back and the two of them walked onto the court.
Shake hands and guess sides.
"The match begins. Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School Akuto Mitsutaya and Masaharu Niou serve. The game ends."
After the referee finished reading the decision, both sides lined up.
boom!
Mitsuya was very simple and served an extremely simple serve.
"Is this a test?"
A trace of vigilance flashed in Kaida Nobuyuki's eyes as he was ready to go in the backcourt.
Akuto Mitsutani played tennis so straight that it didn't put any pressure on them.
“Huh~”
He took a deep breath, and even though all kinds of guesses flashed through his mind, he forced himself to calm down and not lose his composure.
boom!
It was also a seemingly routine counterattack, and Kaida Nobuyuki did not show much strength. The two sides began to fight against each other in a very ordinary way.
Boom!
Boom!
…
"Very good, a simple hint has been given. Next... gradually deepen the impact of the data..."
All kinds of data on the court flashed rapidly in Mitsuya's eyes. Before Kaida Nobuyuki and others noticed anything unusual, countless data streams had been read by him.
What he wants to show to Yanagi Renji now is another way of playing data tennis.
