The Seigaku Shift: A Change in Singles Three

Early in the morning, Shikinomori Sports Park began to bustle with activity. 👻♕ 👺♥

Even Yamabuki and Hyotei Academy, who had previously suffered a regrettable defeat, rushed here together.

Although they lost, they have already secured a spot to represent Tokyo Metropolis in the Kanto region tournament.

Furthermore, the two schools even completed a match last week for third and fourth place, with the Hyotei Academy emerging victorious.

In fact, it wasn't just them; every school that had participated in the Tokyo Metropolis Tournament had at least some people come to watch the competition.

After all, Seigaku and Fudomine are just too similar.

They all rose to prominence in the last two years, a time of great talent, and quickly achieved excellent results, especially since they started facing each other from the regional preliminaries.

They could even compete all the way to the National Tournament!

This bond has attracted the attention of almost everyone, and even the neighboring Kanagawa sent a group to the stadium today.

They have finished the prefectural tournament and, unsurprisingly, won the championship, advancing to the Kanto Tournament. Now they have come to Tokyo Metropolis to gather information on Seigaku and Fudomine.

"Kirihara, didn't you say you were going to practice extra before the Kanto Tournament? Why are you still watching the Seigaku vs. Fudomine match with us?"

Niou, who particularly enjoyed teasing Kirihara, smiled slightly, and his gaze toward Kirihara held a hint of inquiry.

Kirihara, walking beside Niou and Yagyu, stiffened. He glanced at Yukimura, Sanada, and Yanagi Renji at the front of the group, and seeing no reaction from them, stubbornly insisted:

"Senior Niou, don't try to fool me anymore. If you hadn't transformed into Vice-Captain Sanada, I would never have said such a thing..."

"Besides, since you're all here, can't I at least come and see the strength of Seigaku and Fudomine?"

Seeing Kirihara Akaya's evasive eyes, Yagyu Hiroshi immediately realized he wasn't telling the truth. ★😝 🍬🐙

Come to think of it, before the prefectural tournament finals, Kirihara Akaya went to Fudomine and Seigaku alone to gather information.

It seems he was frightened by a first-year kid at Seigaku, and naturally he wouldn't tell anyone in the club about something so embarrassing.

Especially Niou Masaharu, who loved to tease him.

If he finds out about this, I'm afraid I'll really have no peace.

But Kirihara know that Yagyu Hiroshi, whom he considered to be the best to him, was actually the one who betrayed him the most.

This little secret was easily extracted from Yagyu.

Niou's indigo eyes flickered, and he exchanged a glance with his friend.

Liu Sheng immediately understood, a glint of light flashing across his white glasses, and he quietly nodded.

The only one completely unaware of this secret exchange between the two was Kirihara, that silly boy.

"Alright then, after seeing their strength, you'd better work hard," Niou said, feigning encouragement.

Upon hearing this, Kirihara also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Niou and Yagyu had guessed, Kirihara was willing to come over because he wanted to see the arrogant first-year Seigaku kid who had acted so arrogantly in front of him, as well as Akutsu.

After all, Kirihara had made some tough threats against Akutsu, and it might just come true at the Kanto Tournament. ☠🐲 💝🐻

Moreover, at Seigaku at the time, because of Akutsu's intimidation, Kirihara's attention was almost entirely focused on Akutsu, and he didn't pay much attention to Echizen Ryoma.

Looking back, wasn't the radiance emanating from that little devil the State of Selflessness?

To grasp the State of Selflessness in first grade is a formidable enemy for Kirihara!

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." He was not one Kirihara make empty promises.

As Rikkai Dai's team arrived at the stadium, the two main teams playing today had just entered the field.

"Look! It's Seigaku!"

"Fudomine! Fudomine is here too!"

As the two groups collided at the entrance, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Tezuka, Akutsu, Fuji, it's been Fuji long time!"

It was Muneyoshi who broke the somber atmosphere first, followed immediately by Tachibana Kippei, who said in a deep voice.

"Tezuka, Muneyoshi's back this time, so we're going to make you pay for our defeat in the regional preliminaries!"

As soon as Tachibana Kippei said this, the already tense atmosphere immediately became even more volatile.

"Muneyoshi, welcome back from your expedition!"

Tezuka first welcomed Muneyoshi's return, then looked directly at Tachibana Kippei and said calmly...

"Tachibana, whether Muneyoshi is here or not, victory will belong to Seigaku!"

No sooner had Tezuka finished speaking than Muneyoshi smiled.

"You really dare to say that, Tezuka!"

Muneyoshi didn't dwell on the topic too much, because even he had to admit that Seigaku was indeed a formidable team.

The only exception for him was that Akutsu was unusually quiet today, which Muneyoshi found rather strange.

After exchanging brief pleasantries, they proceeded to the registration area to report for duty.

After the press office verified the information of the players from both sides, the two teams were led by staff to the stadium where today's final was being held.

The on-site equipment, including Hawk Eye and photography crews, is all ready.

Please give me your guidance!

Please give me your guidance!

Led by Tezuka and Muneyoshi, the two teams saluted each other across the net, signaling the imminent start of the final Tokyo Metropolis Tournament.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the broadcast started on time:

"Next, the final of the Metropolitan Tournament will begin, with Fudomine Junior High facing off against Seigaku. First up is the singles match number three."

"Tachibana Kippei from Fudomine Junior High versus Echizen Ryoma Seigaku. Please enter the arena!"

Upon hearing the broadcast, many people showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Fudomine immediately assigned Tachibana Kippei to the position, a formation that everyone could accept, given Tachibana Kippei's strength as the vice-captain.

But why would Seigaku put a first-year student in such an important singles match?

It's important to know that Akutsu Jin has always been Seigaku's top singles player, Akutsu everyone has witnessed his strength.

He was the third singles player, and his skill level is definitely undeniable; it's surprising that he's been replaced.

Moreover, the person who replaced him was a first-year student who frequently loses matches. Does this mean Seigaku has no intention of winning the match?

All the audience members present began to discuss the purpose of Seigaku's arrangement.

In the Rikkai Dai region, Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichirou exchanged a glance; they could roughly guess Seigaku's reasoning behind this arrangement.

With Saeki Muneyoshi's return, Fudomine's roster is complete. They only need to restore last year's lineup to be very competitive.

Other schools, however, cannot do this and must make changes.

No one in the junior high school world is certain of victory against Saeki Muneyoshi.

As for Tachibana Kippei, his strength has caught up, and most importantly, he Fudomine doubles!

They are the most important link in Fudomine!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Niou's face. It seemed that Seigaku's formation might undergo unexpected changes.

On the coach's bench, Coach Ryuzaki glanced at Hanamura Aoi next to him.

Thinking about Fudomine's formidable roster, she felt pressured, but no matter what, Seigaku needed to make an attempt first.

Otherwise, a conventional formation will not be able to target the Fudomine!

At the same time.

A sleazy-looking man dressed in a black temple robe and with a gray cloth wrapped around his head appeared at the entrance of the final venue of the Metropolitan Tournament.

He looked around suspiciously, like a thief, before stealthily making his way to a seat in the corner of the competition area.

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"

I'm staying in a huge house of several hundred square meters that the owner doesn't live in. It's incredibly spacious and freezing cold, much colder than Sichuan. Only two chapters today.
