Oshitari Gakuto VS Oishi Kikumaru!

Chiba Yun Chuan, walking at the front, gave Fuji a strong sense of unease.

It was a feeling the teams ahead hadn't given him.

"Fuji, are you scared? We're definitely going to win!" Tezuka looked towards Hyotei, his gaze unwavering.

"We will win, Tezuka!" Fuji's spirits lifted upon hearing Tezuka's words, but he closed his eyes again.

"Go, senpai! Beat them! Let them know how amazing Seigaku is! Seigaku will win!" At this moment, Momoshiro, wearing a headband that read "Victory," was cheering loudly for Seigaku from the cheerleading section.

This immediately caused a collective grimace among the Seigaku team members.

"Momoshiro is so energetic!" Kikumaru said, looking at the loudly shouting Momoshiro, his mood also relaxing considerably.

"Yeah, Momoshiro is indeed a guy with abundant Mental Power. I'm even a little interested in his stats," Kaidoh said slowly, pushing up his glasses.

Although Momoshiro's cheering had relaxed the Seigaku members quite a bit, the tense atmosphere of the match was growing stronger!

This imposing Hyotei had already made Seigaku nervous.

Under everyone's gaze, Chiba Yun Chuan led his team onto the court opposite Seigaku, ready to begin the match!

At this moment, no one behind Hyotei dared to make a loud noise!

From this, it could be seen that Hyotei had already crushed Seigaku in terms of presence!

"Ah, Hyotei looks really strong this year! But have you noticed, there are actually several first-years among the Hyotei players!"

"That's right, their presence isn't on the same level. When they passed by me, I didn't even dare to speak!"

"Hyotei is all first-years and second-years this year. The third-years aren't playing anymore! Or they've all been pushed out!"

"Are first-years this strong already? It's truly incredible."

"Seigaku isn't weak either, especially their captain, and the genius Fuji, who are both said to be national level."

Amidst the murmurs, the match was about to begin!

"The match between Seigaku and Hyotei is about to begin. Please, both teams, warm up!

The match will officially start in ten minutes." After the referee finished speaking, he sat down.

At this time, both Chiba Yun Chuan and Ryuzaki Sumire had already taken their seats at the coach's bench.

And the members of both teams had already started warming up.

Looking at the young Chiba Yun Chuan opposite her, Ryuzaki Sumire was very surprised. She hadn't expected Hyotei's coach to be their team captain!

The first-year, Chiba Yun Chuan!

This sparked Ryuzaki Sumire's strong curiosity, and at the same time, she was shocked. Could a first-year be a coach?

So she asked, "Hello, are you the coach of Hyotei?"

Chiba Yun Chuan heard Ryuzaki Sumire's words. Although he disliked Ryuzaki Sumire, Seigaku's coach, he still turned his head and replied politely, "You must be Coach Ryuzaki, who coached the Samurai Echizen Nanjirou! I am the captain of the Hyotei Tennis Club, my name is Chiba Yun Chuan. Coach Hana had a temporary emergency, so I'm serving as coach! Please guide me!"

Hearing the name Hana, Ryuzaki Sumire found it somewhat familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had heard it.

So she replied, "That's all in the past, no need to mention it! You're Chiba Yun Chuan, right? Hyotei's strength this year is very impressive! It's a shame to let a first-year like you participate in the competition! Shouldn't first-years be focusing on building their foundation? Won't this be like pulling up the seedlings to help them grow?"

Ryuzaki Sumire asked her question, which was also the reason she had proactively sought out Chiba Yun Chuan for a conversation!

Although she felt it was absurd, the calm smile on Chiba Yun Chuan's face told her he was no ordinary middle school student!

The reason she asked this question was

She was still unwilling to give up. Why did Nanjirou believe her viewpoint was wrong?

Hyotei's coach also let first-years play? And let him be the interim coach!

Had she truly fallen behind?

Hearing her words, Chiba Yun Chuan smiled inwardly. However, as the former coach of the Samurai Echizen Nanjirou, Ryuzaki Sumire deserved respect!

"Coach Ryuzaki, first-years are also middle school students, aren't they? As long as they have sufficient skill, what's wrong with them playing in a match!

Why must you cling to your theory about first-years until the very end? The current tennis world is about the supremacy of the strong!

Whoever is stronger gets to play, survival of the fittest – this is why tennis endures!

If you blindly adhere to a flawed system, decline is inevitable!

If you still have doubts, you'll know after watching this match!

But there will be a surprise."

Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan's words, Ryuzaki Sumire was a little confused.

"A surprise? What surprise?"

However, as soon as she spoke, the referee's voice reached her ears.

"The Grand Tournament semi-finals, Hyotei versus Seigaku, first match, Doubles 2, is now starting!"

"Please have both teams enter the court."

Hearing the umpire's words, Ryuzaki Sumire stopped what she was about to say and looked towards the court.

At this moment, both teams' players were already on the court.

Seigaku's second doubles pair was Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuuichiro!

Hyotei's second doubles pair was Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto!

"I wonder how strong Seigaku's combination is. It seems Seigaku, like us, doesn't have any third-year players. This is quite interesting, don't you think, Kabaji?" Atobe said with his arms crossed, speaking with interest.

"Yes."

"It's said this pair is very strong, already reaching a national level of skill!" Shishido Ryo said casually.

"Oshitari and Gakuto are not easy opponents, especially with Chiba's special training. They no longer have any weaknesses!" Atobe's tone was very confident when he mentioned Chiba Yun Chuan.

"That's right, Coach Chiba is the one who will lead us to the National Tournament!" Ootori Choutarou looked towards Chiba Yun Chuan, who was sitting in the coach's seat, his voice filled with excitement!

"Kikumaru and Oishi are Seigaku's aces. If it were a year from now, they might be able to compete with Oshitari and the others! But now?" Thinking this, Chiba Yun Chuan looked towards the court.

At the same time, he summoned the System.

His Show-off Value had already reached over two thousand! And it was still slowly increasing.

He hadn't expected to gain so much in just one day of participating in the prefectural tournament. He believed it wouldn't be long before he could return to over five thousand Show-off Value!

Therefore, Chiba Yun Chuan was in a very good mood right now.

Within the Seigaku team...

"Doubles has always been Hyotei's weakness, but Hyotei hasn't lost a single doubles match so far, so the data I've collected is limited! Based on the current data, Kikumaru and Oishi have a 70% win rate!"

Inui pushed up his glasses and said slowly.

"The match begins, Hyotei's serve!"

As the umpire's voice fell, the match officially began.

At this moment, all eyes once again focused on the court, eagerly anticipating the first clash between Hyotei and Seigaku!

However, the Hyotei members showed no sense of urgency. Akutagawa Jirou had even fallen asleep in his seat!
