If my prediction was right, there was a 90 percent chance the match would end with a score of 6–3!! Inui had gathered enough information by now, and he could already see the outcome at a glance.
"Huh? No way, Inui-senpai. Is Rikkai Dai really going to win?" Momoshiro sounded incredulous.
Although the situation on the court wasn't looking good for Hyotei, they weren't necessarily going to lose, were they?
They still had a chance to win!
While the spectators discussed the match, the score kept changing.
"Game, Rikkai Dai. The score is 6–3!"
Just as Inui had said.
The second doubles match ended with a score of 6–3. Hyotei had lost the first match!
Chiba Yun Chuan didn't say anything. He simply got up and slowly walked back to the Hyotei team.
Watching Chiba Yun Chuan's retreating figure, Yukimura looked puzzled. Chiba Yun Chuan was much too calm!
He had a vague sense of unease, but Rikkai Dai had already won the first match. If they could just win the second doubles match, the championship would practically be theirs. Yukimura had great confidence in his own abilities.
With that thought, he got up and walked back to the Rikkai Dai team.
"Impressive! Rikkai Dai's doubles team really is national-level!"
"Hyotei won't lose! Just you wait!"
"Rikkai Dai really is last year's National Tournament champion. Hyotei's still too weak!"
Chiba Yun Chuan had returned to the team.
Oshitari was supporting Gakuto as they walked back to the court.
Gakuto was nearly out of strength.
"Sorry, Captain. We lost!"
"Sorry."
As soon as Oshitari and Gakuto saw Chiba Yun Chuan, they apologized.
Both had their heads lowered, their expressions rather uneasy!
"Their experience was simply too great. Your skills weren't much weaker than theirs, but they beat you with their experience!
