The other semifinal match was in full swing.

It was between Ginka Middle School and Yamabuki Middle School.

The singles 3 match was currently underway.

The scoreboard nearby showed:

Doubles 1: 6-2, Doubles 2: 6-3, Singles 3: 4-1!

Yamabuki Middle School had already won both doubles matches! Moreover, they were in the lead in the singles 3 match.

At the coach's bench, a white-haired elderly man seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but his expression suggested a smile.

His expression was a bit strange.

"Coach, the match between Hyotei and Seigaku has already ended. Both sides have left."

A middle-aged man walked over and slowly said to the white-haired elder, bending down.

This white-haired elder sitting on the stool was Yamabuki Middle School's coach, Banda Mikiya!

He had been coaching at Yamabuki for 19 years!

Even though Banda Mikiya was now 67 years old, he was still the coach of Yamabuki Middle School.

Relying on his coaching ability, he had led Yamabuki Middle School to the National Tournament stage almost every year. Without him, Yamabuki would not have been able to enter the National Tournament.

It was precisely because of his outstanding coaching ability that he earned the recognition of most people, so everyone called him Old Banda!

He was a contemporary of Ryuzaki Sumire, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as knowledgeable!

Furthermore, he had once led Yamabuki Middle School to victory against a then-dominant Seigaku, and became famous for that match.

He had given Seigaku a harsh wake-up call at the time; he was a formidable character.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Old Banda, who had been squinting with a smile, opened his eyes and asked, "Oh? It ended so quickly? What was the score?"

Looking at the old man before him, the middle-aged man quickly replied, "The overall score was 3-1. Hyotei won doubles 2 with a score of 6-1. Doubles 1 was a forfeit due to injury. Singles 3 and singles 2 were both 6-0!

Also, Hyotei's singles 3 was their former Captain, Atobe Keigo. Seigaku had the genius Fuji Syusuke. Singles 2 was Seigaku's Captain Tezuka Kunimitsu against Hyotei's current Captain, Chiba Yun Chuan!

Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't score a single point against Chiba Yun Chuan!"

The middle-aged man had watched the entire match and was still in shock. Hyotei's strength was truly immense. In his opinion, the current Yamabuki was no match for Hyotei!

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Old Banda's eyes widened for the first time.

"Seigaku's Captain Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't score a single point? Even the so-called genius Fuji Syusuke was defeated 6-0 by Atobe Keigo?"

Hearing this news, Old Banda found it unbelievable, and his tone was a little unsteady!

Although he hadn't played against Seigaku yet, Seigaku's strength was not to be underestimated every year!

Especially this year, two people from Seigaku had already gained fame.

One was Captain Tezuka Kunimitsu, and the other was the genius Fuji Syusuke!

Both were key figures he was paying attention to.

But he never expected them to be defeated 6-0.

And Tezuka didn't score a single point!

At this moment, Hyotei Middle School was labeled as a formidable rival in his mind, and he wasn't even sure if he could defeat Hyotei.

"Incredible. These young people nowadays, already so strong in their first year! The younger generation is truly formidable!"

After sighing, Old Banda continued, "Ryuzaki Sumire must be getting restless. With that connection, Nanjirou's son will likely go to Seigaku next year.

Seigaku is truly regaining its former glory.

However, it's more challenging to defeat a team like this."

Listening to Old Banda's self-talk, Sengoku walked over at some point.

"Coach, we'll be facing Hyotei tomorrow. Have you thought of a strategy?"

Upon hearing this, Old Banda's expression turned serious.

"Tomorrow? We'll find a way!"

As Old Banda spoke, he closed his eyes again, it was unclear if he was sleeping or contemplating.

Hearing Old Banda's words, Sengoku was still a bit worried. He had watched Seigaku's matches; they were very strong!

But even such a team was defeated 3-1 by Hyotei!

He was already starting to worry about tomorrow's finals.

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan was slowly walking towards an exit in a corner of the court, carrying his tennis bag!

He saw the figure leave through this exit, and had just gone out.

Most of the spectators around the court had already left, or had gone to watch the Yamabuki and Gin'ka match.

So it was very quiet.

Fifty meters from the court's corner exit.

"Hey, classmate, you look quite striking. Are you here to watch the tennis match too? Come on, senior will teach you how to play tennis!

Ah, hahaha."

A middle school student with a red explosion-like hairstyle was smiling maliciously at the girl in front of him.

At the same time, he kept approaching her, forcing the girl to retreat.

"Yeah, come on, seniors will teach you tennis hand-in-hand. I'm only a little weaker than Chiba Yun Chuan."

"Don't be scared, we won't hurt you, hahaha."

Several sharp voices rang out, mixed with sinister laughter.

They cornered the little girl.

"Don't come any closer! My brother is Tachibana Kippei from Fudomine Middle School. He's a great tennis player. Be careful, I'll have him deal with you!

Get lost!"

A girl's voice came, filled with anxiety and fear.

This person was Tachibana An.

After watching Chiba Yun Chuan's match, she stopped to look at him a few more times, so she got separated and was then blocked by a few middle school students!

She couldn't get away right now!

It was just such a coincidence.

As if it were fate, Chiba Yun Chuan saw her and followed.

At this moment, Tachibana An was holding her head with both hands, crying for help, her eyes closed, curled up in the corner.

Her voice was choked with sobs.

"Get away! Help!"

She felt terrifying laughter all around her. She was very scared! But she could only shout loudly.

Hoping someone would hear.

But it seemed no one was passing by, and she began to despair!

Just as Tachibana An was filled with fear and helplessness, a magnetic voice sounded in front of her.

"Hey, what kind of skill is it for so many of you to bully a little girl?"

To Tachibana An, this voice was like that of a savior!

She knew whose voice it was, Hyotei's Captain, Chiba Yun Chuan!

"Let's see who dares."

One of the yellow-haired middle school students turned his head and saw Chiba Yun Chuan. He didn't even finish his sentence.

He immediately fell silent. His companions, at this moment, no longer cared about Tachibana An. They turned their heads and spoke.

"I say, Hayashiki, why are you..."

"Hyotei's Captain, Chiba Yun Chuan!"

At this moment, the person behind also turned his head, looking at Chiba Yun Chuan with a fearful gaze.

And at this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan was carrying his tennis bag, wearing Hyotei's regular team uniform, which fluttered in the wind.

His aura suddenly erupted, pressing down on the three middle school students in front of him.
