"I lost~ Although I am unwilling, but..."
Takehito Mukai and Ryo Shishido looked at each other, and there was a hint of relief and an extra belief in their eyes.
Only by trying their best can they see how big the gap is and know that there are such goals waiting for them to catch up.
“Thanks for your advice~”
“Good fight~”
Tachibana Kihei paused for a moment when shaking hands with Shishido Ryo. Shishido Ryo's amazing half-volley left him and Chitose with no solution for the time being.
…
"What an excellent doubles team~"
At Shitenhoji Temple, Watanabe Osamu said with a toothpick in his mouth.
"Oh, Ash, who do you think is stronger, the group led by Shishile or the group led by Koharu?"
Hearing such high evaluation from his coach, Yuan Zheya asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Of course it's me and Xiaochun..."
…
"Shizile's doubles are even better~"
Ignoring the duo's antics, Shiraishi was the first to answer in the affirmative.
"Oh~ Shiraishi, tell me something."
Seeing Shiraishi's firm tone, Watanabe Osamu asked with a very interesting expression on his face.
"Didn't you notice that in the doubles match between Shizile and the guy with the fluffy black hair didn't do much?"
Shiraishi had a smile on his face. The main leader of this game was Tachibana Kippei in the frontcourt. His terrifying aura really made it easy for others to ignore the existence of Chitose Chisato.
"Why do you say it seems like..."
Hara Tetsuya rubbed his chin, thinking back to the entire game. The main scoring point had always been the blond boy Tachibana Kippei, while Chitose Chisato only hit back some key shots.
"Shiraishi, your analysis is good. I'm afraid the strength of Shizile's group is still reserved."
Watanabe Osamu bit the toothpick lightly and added, his face full of relief, Shiraishi's growth was beyond his imagination.
"Well, what does this mean?"
Yuji Ichiuji looked at everyone and saw that they all understood, and the look of doubt on his face became even more intense.
"Yuji, you idiot, if your partner is this strong, how can that Chitose be so weak?
And he didn't take any action, which showed that he believed in their own strength and that the blond-haired guy could control the whole situation."
Ken Oshitari also complained to Yuji Ichi without mercy, saying that Koharu was such a smart person, so why was Yuji like this?
"Oh... hehe~"
Yuji Ichiuji felt a little embarrassed by what he said and touched the back of his head with a smile.
"Huh~ Yuji is such an idiot..."
"Xiaochun! How can you say that to me!"
Before the others could continue their discussion, Yuji and Koharu started to love and hate each other again.
"Speaking of which, the doubles team of Shizile Middle School is really strong. I guess our chances of winning would be slim if we met them." Ignoring the two people fighting nearby, Bai Shi said with a heavy face.
Their previous victory over Mu Zhiteng made them somewhat complacent, but now it seems that they are the weakest among the top four.
"Don't worry, Shiraishi~ You have to trust your teammates!"
Hearing Shiraishi's worries, Taira Yoshiyuki smiled at Shiraishi with confidence. Without his usual antics, he looked like a capable leader.
Shiraishi was slightly stunned, then he saw that it was not only Taira Yoshiyuki, but also Hara Tetsuya, Oshitari Kenya, Ishida Gin... they were all looking at him.
"Well, of course. Tomorrow we will have a good meeting with Rikkai University, which even Hyotei fears."
Raising his head slightly, Bai Shi said confidently. He was no longer the pride of one person, but now he had a group of very reliable teammates.
…
Off the court.
After Shizile won the second doubles match, their morale was obviously boosted, and the previous feeling of defeat was swept away by Tachibana Kihei's domineering offensive.
"He Xi, I'll leave the rest to you."
Fuwa Tetsuto instructed another third-year student who was full of fighting spirit.
Although he had already guessed a bad outcome after his defeat, Shizile might still be able to give it a try with his strong momentum.
However, twenty minutes later.
On the field, a milky white halo enveloped the blue-haired boy.
The selfless state that accelerates the consumption of physical strength was saved by Oshitari, the cunning Kansai wolf, until the last round.
boom!
Atobe's Tannhauser serves.
…
boom!
Shishido's sprint serve.
…
“That is… the state of no self!”
Fuwa Tieren and Tachibana Kihei were both shocked, and the main force of Shizile turned their attention to Chitose Chisato who was standing silently by the side.
As expected, Hyotei's Oshitari Yuushi also entered this legendary realm.
Chitose Chisato's face was serious at this time, and he stared at Oshina on the field with sharp eyes. After entering the state of selflessness, Oshina temporarily and completely suppressed Senior Sekine.
He folded his hands across his chest and unconsciously clenched them into fists. As expected, there are still many geniuses in this world.
"Thousand years old..."
Seeing that his friend's expression seemed a little strange, Ju Jiping called out in worry.
"I'm fine, it's just like you said before, the national competition is really an exciting stage."
Chitose Chisato said with a slight tremor in his voice. He was obsessed with exploring the realm of selflessness, so he was naturally eager for an opponent like Oshitari Yuushi.
boom!
A flash of lightning streaked across the court, and Oshitsuka's final fierce drive brought the game to an end.
"Game, Hyotei Academy Oshitari Yuushi, 6-4."
"The game is over. Hyotei Academy won with a total score of 2-1."
Oshitsuka's victory in singles No. 2 made some schools outside the field change their expressions slightly.
Hyotei is going to be a superstar this year. From last year's champion to runner-up, if they win one more game, they will reach the final of the national competition for the first time.
"The rise of Hyotei is unstoppable~"
"Of course I've seen that since last year's Ochi Moonlight competition..."
…
Outside the venue, those schools that had had some connection with Hyotei were talking about it. After all, Hyotei was about to create the best results since their establishment.
"It really fits the tactics of Hyotei and his men..."
Yanagi Renji stood in the Rikkai University team, his narrowed eyes constantly analyzing the situation of the Hyotei game.
From now on, the probability of Hyotei winning the game is as high as 92%.
"What a formidable opponent..."
Turning his attention to the area belonging to Hyotei, Yanagi Renji couldn't help but admire Hyotei's boldness in tactical arrangements.
"However, since the last defeat, we at Rikkai University have changed~"
A faint light flickered, and Yanagi Renji murmured in his heart. Ever since Mitsuya Akuto transferred away, he has taken on the position of intelligence and data analysis at Rikkai University.
With his powerful strength and terrifying data capabilities, he gained the recognition of , and the name of Rikkai University's "military strategist" spread quickly within the university.
Separation always makes a person grow up quickly.
…
"I'm sorry Minister!"
Kazuki Sekine's face turned pale as he bowed and apologized to Fuwa Tetsujin.
Originally, he had the best chance of winning this game, but the result was...
"It's okay, go down..."
Fuwa Tieren's voice sounded a little tired. At this moment, he seemed to be watching an extremely similar script. The predecessors also fell down twice in front of that man.
No one else said anything. Even if they were sure to win the doubles match, they would most likely lose the final singles match . The minister on the opposite side of Hyotei was definitely not just a Kanto-level player.
"Xiao Lin, let's go!"
There was a flash of anger in Hisashima Fumio's eyes, and he felt a sense of depression in his heart.
He needs to vent!
The two people who are already in sync can naturally understand each other's eyes. This lion of Kyushu needs someone to take on their anger.
Fifteen minutes.
In just fifteen minutes, Kaida Nobuyuki and Sakamoto Kumaji failed to score a single point, and the match was ended directly by Shizilele's doubles 1-0 shutout.
As soon as the two opponents started synchronizing as soon as they came on the field, the outcome of the game was already determined.
At that time, an aura of nothingness enveloped the two people of Shizile, and their golden pupils contained an amazing tacit understanding.
"This is the ultimate essence of doubles, synchronization..."
At this moment, both Shitenhoji and Rikkai University Middle School were silently recording the data of this doubles match.
Obviously Hyotei's doubles team was not too weak, but they were beaten without any chance to fight back, even more miserably than the last time they faced Rikkai University.
If the last time their strength was affected and weakened, then this time even though Kaida Nobuyuki and the others tried their best, they were unable to make any waves.
"Come on, let's go down."
Coach Sakaki spoke calmly, without any intention of blaming the two. This would be the last time they would participate in the competition.
With their heads lowered, Kaida Shin and the other man still looked depressed. Everyone else in Hyotei could see that the two seniors had suffered a great blow this time.
"What a great Lion Music Middle School!"
There was anger burning in Atobe's eyes, and the elegant smile that had always been on the corner of his mouth turned into a biting coldness.
Five minutes later, the radio came on.
"Next, the singles match will begin, with Atobe Keigo from Hyotei Academy versus Tani Yoshiki Shin from Shishigaku Junior High School."
"Both players, please come forward!"
The final singles match to decide which side will advance to the finals begins.
When shaking hands, Atobe did not give the other party a good look, and there was always a cold chill in his eyes.
Gu Jimusin of Shizile also had a solemn expression, his eyes full of vigilance and alertness. Although he had not yet experienced the methods of the opposing Minister Bingdi, the national-level strength alone put a heavy pressure on him.
"The match begins. Hyotei Academy Atobe Keigo serves."
With a sneer on his lips, Atobe slapped the tennis ball twice.
Swish…
He threw the tennis ball lightly, and then a biting cold wind filled the entire court, with crystal icicles sticking out everywhere on the court.
“Freeze it!”
The teardrop mole under his right eye has a unique charm, and cold words come out of his mouth.
Following this cold verdict, Atobe simply swung the racket in his hand.
boom!
The pale yellow tennis ball broke through the gap, and a burst of gorgeous ice flowers bloomed.
"Hyotei Academy Atobe Keigo scores, the score is 15-0."
"This is the first time I've seen our Minister so angry."
Oshitari whispered softly. It was obvious that Atobe had watched four reels and was also filled with anger.
Regardless of whether it was Shishido Ryo's self-sacrificing struggle or the fact that the last two seniors were crushed to the point of losing confidence, he, as the minister, had to stand up and say something.
Although it was a bit miserable for the opponent on the other side...
"But I don't mind it either."
Oshitari pushed his glasses lightly, and a cold light flashed under the lenses.
boom!
"30-0"
…
boom!
"40-0"
…
On the court, Atobe's abuse of Shishiro's singles continued, just like Shishiro's doubles against Hyotei's doubles in the fourth game.
"What a cold emperor..."
For some reason, Niou was moved within the team, and his whispers made several people around him nod in agreement. Even outside the field, they could feel the biting coldness of Atobe.
"Humph... As a minister, this is what I should do!"
Sanada fully agreed with and appreciated what Atobe did. If it were him who took action, he would only be more ferocious.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Atobe seemed to be released and stopped dragging out the pace.
boom!
"5-0"
…
boom!
"Game, Hyotei Academy Atobe Keigo, 6-0."
"The game is over. Hyotei Academy won with a total score of 3-2."
As soon as the referee's announcement was made, cheers broke out from the crowd.
"ice King!"
"ice King!"
"The winner is Atobe, victory belongs to Hyotei!"
…
Looking at senior Gu Ji who had lost all his spirit, Ju Jiping felt a voice in his chest wanting to shout out, but for some reason it was stuck in his throat.
"This is the national competition. Only the truly strong ones can keep going."
There is also a hint of understanding in Chitose Chitose's eyes. On the court, your opponent will not show you any mercy.
"Let's go, it's over~"
Fuwa Tieren said with a hint of loneliness. He didn't seize the last chance after all.
This year's journey for Lion Music has come to an end.
