NOVEL WEB Chapter 44 5 consecutive wins in the Kanto Competition
"It seems that our opponent this year is the Hyōtei," Liu Renji said expressionlessly as he watched Keigo Atobe and Takashi Kawamura enter the arena, "According to my data, Takashi Kawamura's strength is not comparable to Atobe’s.”
"The only one Aogaku can compare with Atobe is Tezuka Kunimitsu. At most, with a Fuji Shusuke, he can barely pass a few moves. The others are still close." Mouri Juzaburo said lazily.
……
The final result was no surprise. The one who entered the finals was Rikkai's old rival, the Ice Emperor.
When Atobe saw the score reach 6 to 1, before the referee could declare Hyotei the winner, Tatekai left. After all, he already knew who his opponent in the final was, so Zabu left to mock Atobe. Opportunity?
……
--------
The finals of the Kanto Competition were held in the afternoon of that day. The two teams were Rikkai University and Hyotei.
The first game is a doubles match.
Originally, the members of Tatekai University and the audience thought that the Hyokui players would be the same as in the morning, but they did not expect that they would actually change.
Hyotei sent out first-year Houchotarou and second-year Ryo Shinto.
‘Shouldn’t these two start playing doubles next year? And doubles two..." Tiangong Lan looked at the two of them thinking, "It seems that there has been a change, but not much. ’
"Hōchotaro is a first-year Hyoutei. He is right-handed and is good at serving at high speeds. He is a volley-type tennis player." Yanagi Renji looked at Hochotaro, whom he had not seen last year, and said, "Another one of his good friends, Hiyoshiwako, who is right-handed, is a baseline attack type, is good at ancient martial arts hitting, and may be the heir to the Hyotei Tennis Club."
"Ancient martial arts hitting? It sounds a bit similar to Ichiro~" Yukimura sighed with emotion.
Amamiya Arashi's eyes lingered strangely on Hijiro and Genichiro Sanada in the Hyotei contestant's seat: They are almost the same~ Both of them have dojos at home, and they have practiced in the dojo since they were young, although one of them practices Kendo, one practices ancient martial arts. In addition, both of them have integrated what they have learned into tennis, although now it seems that Genichiro's progress is much faster than that of Hijiro...
"Don't worry about it, Hyokui's has already entered the venue," Maori said hurriedly, "Hurry, hurry, Komarui and Kokuwabara."
"Go and win~" Yukimura looked at the two of them with a smile, "You are the best partners, no problem!"
"Of course, we will win!" Marui said firmly while chewing bubble gum, and Jack Kuwahara behind him also nodded.
……
During the game, although Hochotaro's high-speed serve had some impact on the two of them, and Shito Ryo's strength had also improved compared to last year, the tacit understanding between the two was indeed not as good as Marui and Kuwahara's, coupled with Marui's unexpected skills. In the end, Li Hai University won the game 7-5.
……
In the doubles match, Tatekai University sent out deputy minister Genichiro Sanada and his 'dead rival' Nioh Masaharu.
The Hyokui are Ninzu Yushi and Miyagi Gakuto.
Seeing Li Hai's lineup, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed. None of them expected that Rikkai would be able to throw a singles player with national-level combat power into a doubles position.
Of course, Hyokui didn't expect them to do this.
However, Atobe Keigo thought about it and suddenly felt helpless: Is this the benefit of having more cards? With four and a half national-level combat forces, it seems like we can fight no matter what! (Mouri Juzaburo, Yukimura Seiichi, Amamiya Arashi, and Sanada Genichiro are four national-level players. Sanada has just entered the national-level threshold, and Ryu is half-stepped into the national level)
……
"Pfft~ I hope the deputy minister won't hold you back!" Nioh glanced at Sanada meaningfully. After all, someone's doubles practice in the tennis club was not ideal.
"Hmph" Sanada came off the court with a dark face and a racket.
Marui: Are these two really okay?
Kirihara: The deputy minister’s face is very dark! So the deputy minister doesn’t know how to play doubles?
Yukimura: I hope Genichiro can remember that there are many viewers here.
……
场中
"boom--"
"What are you doing!" Sanada stared at Nioh angrily. He could have caught the ball.
"I'm asking you what you are doing! This is my ball!" Nioh was also very annoyed. He didn't want to play doubles with Sanada at all. This guy didn't know how to play doubles at all.
……
"Ah, there's a quarrel." Amamiya Arashi turned his attention to Yukimura on the coaching bench and found Yukimura smiling happily.
Ah, it looks like these two are going to be finished. But... Tian Gonglan looked at the furious two people without words. Do they still remember that this is a competition?
Perhaps because he had been stared at by Amamiya Arashi for too long, Nioh always felt uncomfortable. Then he turned around and saw the minister with a bright smile on his face, and Amamiya Arashi with a sympathetic look behind him.
Niou:……
Pill, I seem to be focused on arguing with Sanada...
Later, Nioh on the field reminded Sanada in order not to be held accountable.
Sanada:……
Help! Can I still be saved? I always feel that the current market is very dangerous!
The two of them moved their eyes towards the scoreboard.
The current score is 0-1, and Ice King is in the lead, but he can still catch up.
After that, the two played a boundary line to divide the halves, and abruptly turned the doubles into a 'singles'.
Not long after, Hyotei's genius Ninzu Yushi discovered the 'little secret' between the two, and hinted his partner to hit the ball in the middle. When Sanada and Nioh disliked each other and were unable to cooperate, Hyōtei scored two more points.
Nioh felt that this would not work, so he could only try his new trick. Then, he reminded Sanada not to resist what happened next, and then used the mental power he could mobilize to directly invade Sanada's mental power.
To the spectators outside the court, it seemed that a burst of white light appeared on Nioh, and then connected to Sanada.
Seeing this scene, everyone was talking a lot.
"This is?!"
"Is it the same tune? It must be the same tune!"
"But they were quarreling just now, how could they suddenly get on the same page!?"
……
"What is synchrony? Amamiya-senpai" Kirihara carefully pulled Amamiya Arashi's sleeve.
"Synchrony is called the miracle of doubles. Doubles players who can use synchrony are all mentally connected with their partners and have a strong tacit understanding." Amamiya Lan replied slowly.
Everyone who heard these words felt speechless.
Who are you talking about? Do you want to see who those two are on the field before talking to each other? Genichiro Sanada and Masaharu Nioh have a spiritual connection and a perfect understanding?
"However, the normal synchronization is that both sides glow with white light at the same time, not like them." Liu explained to several teammates who were doubtful about life while recording the information. "What they are using now should be a little different."
……
With the help of Nioh's and Sanada's 'synchronization', the two's tacit understanding improved greatly. In addition, Sanada and Nioh were already stronger than each other. In the end, the game was won by the two with a score of six to three. .
In the third singles match, Tatekai Omori Jusaburo faced Hyotei's Jirou Akutagawa.
Seeing Jirou Akutagawa's look of just waking up from sleep with a trace of confusion in his eyes, Jusaburo Mori felt a little underestimated. But fortunately, Maori was quite reliable and he came to his senses at the last moment. In the end, they won the third singles match 6-4.
At this point, Lihai University has achieved the achievement of winning the Kanto Competition for fifteen consecutive years.
In addition to Rikkai University, Hyotei was the runner-up, and Yamabuki Academy narrowly defeated Seigaku and became the third runner-up (after all, doubles is very good, and you can win one of the three singles games). In previous years, Seigaku, who could only linger in the Kanto quarterfinals, also successfully won Tickets to the national competition.
