Chaos and Everyone's Growth (Part 2)
When Oishi and Fuji of Seigaku heard that Kirihara was preparing to fight Ryoma, their eyes flickered slightly. 💗✎ ✌👹
But seeing that Tezuka remained calm, he didn't stop her from doing anything.
After seeing that Tezuka was about to be ganged up on, Fuji joined in, wanting to Tezuka.
Meanwhile, Oishi and Kikumaru were targeted by the doubles teams of the Hyotei Academy and Rikkai Dai.
Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaidou Kaoru also found their respective rivals.
Under these circumstances, Echizen Ryoma and Kirihara Akaya, who started the match first, have already clashed.
Echizen Ryoma in a strange state right now. After a series of defeats, he has been given a baptism by his Old Man, which has reshaped his worldview on tennis.
This was the first time he had ever realized the diversity of tennis careers. After arriving at the training camp, Echizen, whose skills had improved, thought he could hold on, but he was unexpectedly taught a lesson by Sanada.
At this moment, he needs an opponent to reawaken himself.
The match quickly entered a close, evenly matched phase.
Echizen Ryoma immediately activated the State of Selflessness, and at the same time, his gaze fell on Sanada, who was preparing to fight Tezuka.
With a firm resolve, when he looked at Kirihara across from him again, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Since you're from Rikkai Dai, then I'll show you something good!"
As the tennis ball was returned by Kirihara Akaya, Echizen made a very familiar move, slashing through the air with his red racket.
Bang!
A loud thud rang out, and the tennis ball vanished from Kirihara Akaya's sight.
"Was that the vice minister's backswing?!"
Kirihara's eyes narrowed and his pupils contracted as he looked at Echizen Ryoma, who was standing on the baseline with a mocking expression. He felt a surge of anger, then sneered.
"Heh heh heh, so this is your selflessness? What a clumsy imitation. This kind of action is far inferior to Vice-Captain Sanada's. If selflessness is only this level, then it's utter nonsense."
Kirihara laughed arrogantly. His long sparring with Sanada had long since made him accustomed to this level. Now, seeing Echizen imitating him, he used both his eyes and ears.
The landing point of the tennis ball was found very clearly.
Bang!
Kirihara swung his tennis ball with all his might, violently sending it flying Echizen.
You still have a long way to go.
Suddenly, a voice rang in Kirihara's ears, and Echizen the back row quickly ran forward, disappearing from Kirihara's sight.
The next second, he half-squatted and began to slide across the court.
Sizzle!
The powerful sprint caused Echizen to slide to the net before stopping, then he leaped up and unleashed a beautiful smash.
Drive B.
Meanwhile, in other stadiums, the matches had already begun.
In the arena where Yukimura and Akutsu were playing, Yukimura turned his head and exchanged a glance with Tezuka in the arena next to him.
At that moment, Tezuka was also fighting Sanada.
It's like the nominal number one players of two teams starting to face off against their respective number two players. ☢🐠 🎉🏆
Their eyes met, and both saw the other's unwavering determination to win.
This is a match about dignity; it's not a good look for either team if their number one player loses to the opposing team's number two.
Bang!
However, neither Sanada nor Akutsu, as the nominal challengers, showed any emotion.
Sanada's racket left afterimages as the tennis ball disappeared before Tezuka's eyes.
"Sanada, your speed is getting faster and faster, Its speed. Like the wind!"
"Akutsu, I was there during your match against Saeki Muneyoshi. Your strength wasn't like this back then."
Across the court, Akutsu spat and said disdainfully, "Then we'll see if you're worthy of making me play at that level again."
In his second battle against Saeki Muneyoshi, Akutsu truly felt his limits, and he was even close to reaching those limits.
However, his opponent, Saeki Muneyoshi, certainly had no intention of letting him reach that level, so he ended the match violently.
This abruptly ended his path to enlightenment.
After the match, Akutsu also thought about it carefully.
Although it's unclear why, it seems that he can only more easily reach that level when facing Saeki Muneyoshi or Byōdōin Hōō.
That's why he said he wanted to see Yukimura Seiichi could force him to reach that level.
Compared to Yukimura Seiichi, Akutsu was the one who most wanted to reach that level.
"Hey Seigaku, if you two care so much about your new recruits, we can accept your surrender."
Seeing that even during the match, the Seigaku Golden Pair kept glancing to the other side, Yagyu gently pushed up his glasses and reminded them.
"Puri, don't forget, you're competing against us now."
Niou Masaharu touched the braid at the back of his head, indicating his agreement with his teammate's statement.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Eiji, let's take this game seriously!"
"Alright, Oishi, let Little One deal with it himself!"
"Damn it, do you think this will still work?"
On the other side of the court, Kaidou Kaoru gritted his teeth and growled.
He was very fast, his legs moved quickly, and he caught up with the tennis ball in a short time. His powerful physique and amazing endurance were also developed and displayed.
Bang!
The tennis ball, which Marui had knocked back to the bottom corner, was returned by him with a low, powerful stroke.
"This is... Kuwa, watch out in the backcourt... This move is Spinning Snake Shot?!"
With a hissing sound!
The tennis ball transformed into a winding golden serpent, which began to spin continuously the moment it flew off Kaidoh's racket, like a tornado.
To their surprise, the tennis ball spun in an unusual arc, landing behind Kuwa instead of heading towards Marui's backcourt, and then flew out of bounds.
"This..."
Kuwa and Marui exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Meanwhile, Kaidou Kaoru's teammate Inui Sadaharu, adjusted his glasses and muttered to himself:
"Kaidoh's Tornado Snake Shot is already being used in doubles? It seems that losing to Kamio Akira of Fudomine in the Metropolitan Tournament really makes him feel guilty!"
Bang!
"Game, Fuji Shusuke, Score 6-4."
"The Hundred-Armed Giant's Guard combined with Phoenix's Return... Next time, I'll definitely break it for you, Fuji!"
Oshitari Yushi the handle of his racket tightly. He stood still, the cool wind blowing across his face, the strands of hair ruffling his hair and making him appear incredibly cold.
Fuji was not basking in the joy of victory; his eyes were open, and his azure pupils held a hint of shock.
The fleeting glint of light emanating from Oshitari Yushi was exactly the same as that of Echizen Ryoma on the adjacent field.
As the matches progressed, many games had already ended, including Tezuka vs. Atobe, and Akutsu vs. Yukimura.
Thump!
A burst of dazzling golden light exploded at Akutsu's feet. He stared at the figure in front of him, mouth agape, slightly taken aback.
The strange feeling he had just experienced even gave him the sensation of a dream coming true.
However, Yukimura did not remain silent, but slowly spoke up, "Akutsu, do you see your own future of defeat?"
"The future... Hah, are you kidding me? I would never believe that kind of stuff!"
Akutsu's face contorted with rage; he had no belief in any supernatural or ghostly things.
Since Yukimura has demonstrated a higher level of skill, then let's crush him!
Meanwhile, Fuji, standing on the sidelines, had a glint in his eye. Knowing Akutsu's strength very well, he didn't believe that Akutsu would be someone who could be led by the nose.
"Is this Yukimura's current strength? What about the future...?"
