NOVEL WEB Chapter 29 Kanto Competition (2)
As time passed, the game progressed to the semi-finals.
In the few games before the semi-finals of the Kanto Competition, Rikkai University did not encounter any strong opponents, which also allowed them to win the game with a big score when facing players from other schools.
The two divisions in the semi-finals are Rikkai University VS Yamabuki Academy, and Hyotei VS Seigaku.
------
Facing the strong doubles school Yamabuki Academy, the Rikkai people rearranged the competition list:
S1: Yukimura Seiichi
S2: Genichiro Sanada
S3: Ryu Renji
D1: Amamiya Arashi & Mori Juzaburo
D2: Hisaaki Mori & Kei Kumikawa
During the game, the opponents they encountered in doubles turned on synchronization, which caused them a lot of trouble, but in the end Mori Hisaaki and Kumokawa Kei won with difficulty with a score of 7 to 5.
In the doubles, Amamiya Arashi and Mori Jusaburo's opponents were two first-year players who were probably selected by Yamabuki as future main players. However, due to the absolute strength of the cheating Amamiya Arashi and the former super star Jusaburo Mori, they seemed to be incompetent in front of other players. The powerful newcomer Yamabuki was still crushed, and Amamiya Arashi and Mori Jusaburo won with a score of six to one.
Yamabuki Academy third singles player Sengoku's unreasonable 'lucky' attribute caused some trouble for Liu, causing some of the balls that he expected to go out of bounds or hit the net. However, in the end Liu relied on absolute His strength defeated Qingchun Qianshi and won 6 to 4.
At this point, Rikkai University has won the finals ticket with a score of 3 to 0, while Yamabuki needs to decide the third place with another losing school in the division.
……
When Rikkai and the others finished packing their things and left the field and passed by another competition area, they found that Hyokui's game was still going on.
But yes, although it was a bit difficult for Rikkai to win in Doubles 2 because his opponent turned on synchronization, the other two games ended quickly in comparison, especially the Doubles 1 game, which simply refreshed Rikkai's best record. A record near the end of the game.
This year, due to Keigo Atobe's challenge, Hyotei's second and third-year tennis club members withdrew on a large scale, making them almost unable to gather the members for the competition.
The current personnel arrangements for the Hyokui and Seigaku competition are:
S1: Atobe Keigo
S2: Yushi Ninzu
S3: Jirou Akutagawa
D1: Mukahigataketo & Shito Ryo
D2: Chino Reiichi & Kishiro
Among them, the second doubles team belongs to the category of "picking up one player after another". As an ordinary member of the tennis club, I had no competition experience before, so it was not surprising that they lost to Qinghao's third-year doubles team 2 to 6.
Although the individual strength of Mukahigataketo & Shito Ryo in doubles one is stronger than the two third-year students from Seigaku, their tacit understanding is not as good as theirs. So there was an anxious atmosphere on the court.
When several people from Tachibana University came to the auditorium, they saw this scene:
Players from both sides battled on the court, and the score stayed at five to four, with Ice Emperor temporarily taking the lead.
Seeing the Lihai people appearing here, the audience in the auditorium nearby started talking:
"Is Tachikai ending the game so soon?"
"I remember their opponent was Yamabuki, right?"
"Did they win three to zero again?"
"Didn't I say that Rikkai University changed four first-year candidates? Why are they still so strong?"
"The game here is only in its second game, right?"
……
Amangong Lan, who didn't care about these comments, looked at the scoreboard, turned around and sighed to his teammates in a slightly exaggerated tone, "Qingxue will be the one who won't compete with us in the end, right?! Then we're not guaranteed to win?" !”
"Pfft—" Hisaaki Mori seemed to be amused, "Xiaotianguo, you think too highly of them, how about Qingxue now?"
"But if Qingxue wins this doubles match, there's no telling~" Yunchuan Qi looked at the four people on the court with a meaningful expression.
"In this match, I think the Ice King has a higher chance of winning, with a probability of 76.95%." Liu glanced at the arena and took a pen to record something in his notebook.
"Indeed." Yukimura nodded in agreement, "The two seniors from Seigaku only relied on their physical strength and a little bit of tacit understanding to bring the score to this point."
Sanada, on the other hand, took one look at the game and stared at Tezuka Kunimitsu in the Seigaku auditorium with no interest.
……
As if he heard the noise coming from the auditorium, Yushi Ninzu raised his head and glanced at the auditorium, then pulled Atobe and said: "Xiaojing, look!"
"You're not a gorgeous guy, how many times have you told me not to call me uncle like that!" Rubbing his temples, Atobe Keigo held back his anger and looked towards the audience, "You'd better see something important. Already..."
"Oh ~ Tatekai Dai?" Atobe Keigo was slightly surprised to see Tachikai Dai. "It seems that their competition is over. They are stronger than expected!"
Seeing Atobe Keigo's gaze, Yukimura nodded towards him.
"Hmph~ Tatekai is quite gorgeous." Atobe snorted arrogantly, and then snapped his fingers.
Hearing the snap of fingers, Hyokui’s cheerleaders started chanting:
"Hyokui is the winner! Seigaku is the loser!"
"Hyokui is the winner! Seigaku is the loser!"
"Hyokui is the winner! Seigaku is the loser!"
……
Listening to the cheers coming from the field, Higatake and Ryo Shinto looked at each other and launched an attack.
……
After a back-and-forth battle, Hyokui's first-year team was the winner in the end.
The score between Hyotei and Qingxue also reached a one-to-one tie.
--------
In the third singles match, Seigaku played their leader: Yamato Yudai.
Hyokui is a first-year student: Jirou Akutagawa.
Seeing that Yamato Yudai was already standing on the field and Akutagawa Jirou was still dozing off, Atobe snapped his fingers to wake up Akutagawa Jirou.
……
Due to physical reasons, Jirou Akutagawa fell asleep directly in the middle of the game and was ruled to forfeit. Aigaku's Yamato Yudai won the three singles matches 5-3.
This surprised the viewers who supported Qingxue, and also gave some people some hope for Qingxue: Maybe Qingxue has hope of entering the finals of the Kanto Competition this year?
But in the eyes of the people at Rikkai University, Qingxue is expected to lose miserably in the next two games. The only national-level player appeared in the third singles. Although he won, what next?
Seigaku won't let first-year players Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke play, so can those second- and third-year regulars stop Keigo Atobe and Yushi Ninzu, who are both national and half-national players?
……
Less than thirty minutes later, the last two singles ended. Ninzu Yushi, the second singles player, defeated Aigaku's third grader with a big score of 6 to 1.
In singles, Keigo Atobe defeated the deputy director of Seigaku Tennis Club 6-0.
The final result was 3-2 for Ice King to advance to the finals.
This result surprised the people in the audience:
I didn’t expect that Ice Emperor, who had played so hard in the first few games, would finally resolve the last two singles matches so cleanly...
