“It’s over~”
"yes……"
"As expected, Hyotei has the last laugh..."
Although many people had a premonition before the fifth set started, they still felt a little disappointed when the real reality was in front of them.
The two schools that had dominated the national championship and runner-up positions had both fallen by the wayside. Hyotei's series of victories had shown them many new things. Who could have thought that the tide of change would come so quickly?
…
"Let's go too~"
On the podium, ministers including Tezuka, Yukimura, and Taira Yoshiyuki all stood up and prepared to leave.
No matter what happens in the subsequent finals, Hyotei has already shown his absolute strength to everyone.
the other side.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Akutsu took a last look at Uesugi Yuu in the crowd of Hyotei.
Then, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, his iconic silver-gray hair fluttering in the wind, and walked out of the venue with a proud expression on his face.
Just like when he came, no one noticed his departure.
He already understood what Shangshan You meant, and he needed to go back and think about what he had gained today.
…
The next day.
Same place, same time.
The only difference is that today the protagonists on the field have been changed to two other colors.
Lihai University Affiliated High School and Tiantianbao Temple.
The two sides will compete here to determine the final winner.
In the stands.
Everyone from Hyotei changed into casual clothes. This was the first time they sat together in the audience to watch other strong teams compete, and there was inexplicably a strange feeling.
"Do you think there is any hope for Shitenboji in this battle?"
…
"Difficult~"
"Can't win~"
Uesugi Yu's biased questioning did not give others any confidence, especially since Oshitari's answer was the most affirmative.
"Why?"
Shang Shanyou smiled slightly and then asked.
"It's hard to put it into words, but I feel like the guys from Rikkai University are stronger than last time."
Oshitari frowned slightly and expressed the ambiguous feeling in his heart.
Uesugi Yu nodded without saying anything. From his perspective, looking down, the overall momentum of Rikkai University's desire for victory was simply astonishing.
Down below, just as the Hyotei people were still speculating about the changes in Rikkai University's strength, the next game was about to begin.
…
"Please give me more advice!"
"Please give me more advice!"
The two teams looked at each other. Shiraishi glanced at the three people at the front of Rikkai University. The three first-year students did not hide their aura, but were strong and confident.
"It's really exaggerated..."
Shiraishi felt helpless. If he was not mistaken, there were too many strong people on the side of Rikkai University.
And Yuan Zhe next to him was also looking at his classmate who was in the same team with him.
"You've really changed a lot, Maori. It seems that you have found what you want at Rikkai University."
Without complaining or joking, Hara Tetsuya sincerely reminisced about the past with his former teammate.
"Yes, there are always things in life that require changes."
Maori Jusaburo smiled, and the frivolity and inattentiveness of the past were no longer in his eyes. The belief that Rikkai University would always win gradually took root in his mind.
The defeat in Kanto more than a month ago gave him a great stimulus.
There is a very obvious contrast between before and after, that is, he no longer rejects Sanada's devilish training, and training well, which he never dared to think about before, has gradually become his normal state.
"Yuanzhe, please apologize to Coach Ash and the club leader for me. I caused you trouble in the tennis club before."
With an embarrassed smile on his face, Maori Jusaburo spoke sincerely.
"Um……"
Without refusing, Yuan Zheya responded gently. Those were just some small things. Mao Li had some minor problems before, but he was always very smart in major issues.
"Ha...thank you, but I won't let you down on the court."
Maori Jusaburo felt a little relieved and said half-jokingly.
"Well, just come on, I'll beat you down like a weakling."
Yuan Zhe was not to be outdone. His expression changed instantly and a series of sharp complaints came out of his mouth.
Haha~ Yes, this is still the familiar .
In a good atmosphere, the two sides shook hands with each other in a friendly manner.
…
"Next, the semi-finals of the lower half will begin, with Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School facing Shitenhoji."
"First up is the No. 3 singles match between Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School's Sanada Genichirō and Shitenhoji Temple's Oshitari Ken'ya."
"Both players, please come forward."
In front of the net.
Ken Oshitari also looked at the silent deputy director of Rikkai University with some curiosity, and there was some eager anticipation in his eyes.
"According to Xiaochun's information, this guy seems to have lost to Hyotei by a huge margin. I wonder if my current strength will suffice..."
Kenya Oshitari's sensitive mind was running through his heart, and he smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Please advise me~"
"Please give me more advice!"
The two men shook hands briefly, and Sanada pulled his hat slightly before walking towards the backcourt.
In today's game, he will use his actions to tell the people of Hyotei that the will of Rikkai University Middle School has not wavered at all.
"The match begins. Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School's Genichirō Sanada serves."
Snap…Snap…Snap…
The tennis ball hit the ground rhythmically, and Sanada's eyes slightly flashed back to the Kanto tournament...
Phew~
"The road to Rikkai University is not yet complete!" Sanada growled in his heart.
Swish!
The pale yellow tennis ball flew over his head, and his originally relaxed muscles instantly tightened and straightened, and an astonishing will burst out from Sanada's eyes.
Sizzle
There was a sharp sound of swinging in the air, and Sanada's arm moved at high speed, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Boom!
There was a crisp sound. In just a moment, the racket and the tennis ball disappeared.
"What! Is this the speed of the wind?"
Kenya Oshitari's heart trembled, and even though his eyes were wide open, he didn't see any trace of the tennis ball.
Boom!
In a flash, the tennis ball left a black mark at the angle of the serving line.
"Sanada Genichirō scores, the score is 15-0."
…
"Qianye, don't be careless..."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke looked solemn and murmured softly.
Even Rikkai University's Genichirō Sanada needs to be treated with caution. The opponent is definitely not as weak as the intelligence says. As for the 6-0 loss to Uesugi Yuu, isn't it because Uesugi Yuu is too strong?
Bai Shi felt a little bitter when he thought the mysterious figure of Hyotei.
Before he took that step, he only felt that Atobe and Uesugi Yu were similar, but after his strength reached the national level, he realized that the gap between them was also very large.
…
“Pah…Pah…”
Without giving Kenya Oshitari a chance to catch his breath, Sanada's hands did not stop at all.
Swish…
The racket was swung again, invisible to the naked eye, and the tennis ball instantly disappeared from Ken'ya Oshitari's sight.
“Again!”
Kenya Oshitari stared at Sanada's expressionless and indifferent face. He gritted his teeth and subconsciously swung the racket towards his feet.
"Oh~ Naive!"
There was a hint of disdain in Sanada's eyes. The opponent's reaction speed was simply not enough to reach his secret.
"30-0"
As expected, Kenya Oshitari's racket missed. In just two balls, Sanada had already brought his initial momentum to its lowest point.
…
boom!
"40-0"
boom!
"Game, Rikkai University Affiliated High School Genichiro Sanada, 1-0."
"Exchange venues!"
Without even touching the tennis ball, Ken Oshitari quickly lost the first game.
"hateful!"
With a hint of anger in his eyes, Kenya Oshitari's whole nerves were tense.
"It's time to go~"
With a silent recitation in his mind, Kenya Oshitari leaned back slightly, and then he gently threw the tennis ball.
boom!
He stretched out his arms and turned them forward, and with his elbow he pushed the racket down suddenly. The tennis ball was hit out at high speed with a hint of air.
"Here comes the Flow Star!"
There was a hint of anticipation in Hara Tetsuya's eyes. Ever since the training session with Hyotei, Qian had been making rapid progress, and now he truly deserved the title of the Star of Naniwa.
However ……
"Fast as the wind~"
A cold word shattered his expectations, and Sanada's brown eyes turned golden at the whistling tennis ball.
boom!
"15-0"
It's that shot where you can't see the racket back!
Everyone at Shitenbo Temple brows jumped. If even the batting was at this level, then Qian would be in danger...
"Is the gap so big..."
Watanabe Shuu held a toothpick in his mouth, leaning back in the coaching booth with a serious expression. Although he knew from Hyotei that Sanada was also a national-level player, he did not expect that Qian would have such a big gap with the opponent.
Thinking that there were at least two or three other guys like him, Watanabe Osamu rubbed his brows helplessly. He really wanted to ask that calm and dignified man again: "How did you, Hyotei, do it?"
Kenji Oshitari took a long breath and suppressed the annoyance in his heart. If the opponent continued to hit the ball like this, then his subsequent offensive would be completely futile.
"I just don't believe that you have no weaknesses!"
A look of determination flashed in his eyes. It was too early to draw a conclusion at this time. Giving up so quickly was not Ken'ya Oshitani's style.
boom!
Tap tap tap…
The figures on the court launched a new offensive.
