Chapter 72 3 consecutive victories
After the second singles match ended, the players in Lihai University cheered, and those who needed to compete no longer had any pressure on their hearts. After all, they had already won, and it didn’t matter even if they lost the next two games, but they I only dare to think about it in my heart.
In the next doubles match, Tatekai played Nioh Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi, and Seigaku sent out the golden combination of Kikumaru Eiji & Oishi Shuichiro as expected.
……
Because there was no psychological burden, neither Nioh nor Yagyu took off their weights in the last game. Seeing the sly smile on Nioh's lips, several people in Rikkai silently mourned for Seigaku's golden combination in their hearts.
This time, Nioh and Yagyu didn't play any kind of 'swap identity' game. They just let each other score three goals each time during the game, and then when they were full of hope, they wanted to score another goal. , break their minds.
"..." Who did they learn this from? There doesn't seem to be anyone with such a bad taste in Tatsumi, right? ! Watching Niou and Yagyu's 'performance', Amamiya Arashi complained silently.
"This... at least proves that they can stabilize the opponent... Nioh and Yagyu's strength has improved a lot..." Although he felt that Nioh and Yagyu were playing tricks on each other, Yanagi didn't want Tatsukai Dai's reputation to be affected by these two. To the disaster, "Maybe I haven't fully mastered it yet, so I'm in the adaptation stage now."
"Their operation is on par with the coach of the previous US West Coast representative team..." Marui wanted to complain, "No...or judging from the on-site format, Nioh's script seems to be better?" Marui glanced at it. I walked around the audience and found that they were all cheering for Nioh and Yagyu. I can't help but think in my heart: Is this the charm of overtaking the opponent at critical moments? But... these people don't seem to notice that the foxes have always had the advantage. Why do they think these two are a 'defeat counterattack'!
……
One of Niou and Yagyu put the racket on his shoulder, and the other pressed the racket against the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey~ You guys are going to die, right?" Niou started to activate the skill 'Taunt & Provocation'.
"boom--"
"0-40"
Kikumaru and Oishi once again scored three goals.
"boom--"
"15-40"
……
"40-40"
"5-0, Tatekai Dainin Wang Yagyu scores!"
"Damn it! It's like this again -" Kikumaru clenched his hands into fists and sounded angry. When he and Oishi wanted to synchronize before, he didn't know why he always felt that there was an invisible 'membrane' around him that separated him from Oishi. Although he didn't know the specific reason, now he vaguely felt that it was Nioh Masaharu. ghost. This made Kikumaru even more angry.
"Eiji, are you... okay?" Oishi looked at his partner worriedly. Although he knew that he was asking nonsense, he didn't know how to comfort him now.
"Huh? That's..." Oishi accidentally glanced at what was exposed on Nioh's arm when he wiped his sweat, and suddenly turned pale with shock, "A weight?"
"Ah? What?" Kikumaru suspected that he heard wrongly.
"It seems that they have been discovered, so that would be boring~" Nioh deliberately lengthened his words, and then quickly said, "Hiroji, you are not going to play anymore, are you?"
"It's obvious that you've always been playing, okay? I'm just cooperating with you a little bit." Liu Sheng adjusted his glasses calmly, "Let's make a quick decision. It should be over anyway."
After Yagyu finished speaking, the two stopped giving Qingxue's men a chance to score, and simply scored the last point.
"The doubles match is over, Tatekai Daihito Masaharu & Yagyu Hiroshi won, the score is 6-0."
……
The Seigaku duo who returned to the contestants' seats were very frustrated. Of course, their cheerleading team - the three boys headed by Horio on the male side, and some fan groups headed by Ryuzaki and Koita on the girls side, although they mainly They support Echizen Ryoma, but this does not prevent them from hating any opponent who 'causes' Seigaku to lose the game.
So when Kikumaru and Oishi returned to the players' seats, they heard the 'criticism' of Nioh and Yagyu from Horio and others some distance behind.
On the other side of the Rikkai Grand Player seat, although everyone thought Nioh was very bad-tempered, no one had any opinions about him. Anyway, he won~ He didn’t violate the rules of the game or anything, but if Nioh was because of his bad taste, If he loses the game, he may be punished by other main players.
……
When the referee announced the start of the singles match, although Seigaku still failed to recall all of Echizen Ryoma's memories, Echizen Ryoma still somewhat remembered it. This gave those who helped Echizen hope, but they still needed time.
In order to give Echizen Ryoma enough time, Kintaro Toyama proposed a warm-up match with Rikkai Dai in singles.
However, before Yukimura could speak, Amamiya Arashi rejected Toyama's request and pointed out that Toyama Kintaro's actions violated the rules. But Kintaro Toyama, who didn't understand the rules of the game, didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.
In the tit-for-tat situation between the two, Yukimura agreed to give Echizen Ryoma one hour after communicating with the referee. If he still cannot play after this time, then Seigaku will have only two options: abstaining or playing as a substitute.
Although he failed to get Tatekai to compete with him, Toyama Kintaro, who had achieved his original goal, struggled to leave Tatekai's player bench under Shiraishi's suppression.
……
At the last second, Echizen Ryoma finally regained his memory and appeared on the field.
Looking at Yukimura who was wearing a coat across from him, Echizen asked doubtfully: "Hey - don't you need to take off your coat?"
"Well~" Yukimura smiled slightly, meaningfully, "It depends on your ability."
……
Echizen started his serve by hitting an 'outspin serve', and after being hit back, he used 'A'. Unfortunately, this move was useless against Yukimura. Finally, he used a 'cool volley' to counter Yukimura's hit. Yukimura faced Echizen's 'cool volley' and hit the ball directly to the opposite baseline, successfully scoring a point. Although Echizen tried every means to make Yukimura's jacket fall off, he failed.
At the players' table, the members of Tachibana who saw Echizen's plan were all thinking about what was going on in Echizen Ryoma's mind, just to let the opponent's coat fall to the ground, so they hit those balls even though they knew that the opponent was likely to score. ?
"Is there a possibility that that kid didn't think so much and was just arrogant?" Yagyu put forward his own opinion, while the others looked at each other in confusion.
The Seigaku players gathered on the other side were also discussing this, and Miki clearly stated the purpose of Echizen hitting these shots. "The 'spin serve' is to disrupt Yukimura's posture, and the 'stroke shot' is In order to make his shoulders stand tall, the last 'cool volley' was to bring him to the front. Logically speaking, Yukimura's coat should have fallen down..."
Amamiya Arashi in the Rikkai player's seat looked at Yukimura's little action when he responded to the 'cool volley' and didn't know what to say. Nioh, who was sensitive to mental power, looked at Yukimura's coat, and then looked at Amamiya. Lan's expression then confirmed his guess.
……
Next, Echizen Ryoma activated ‘No Self’, and used ‘Big Bang’, ‘Ball Dance’, ‘God’s Hidden’...
It is a pity that Yukimura's words "Although powerful, but too simple", "The ball cannot be separated, there is only one entity", "The ball will never disappear out of thin air"... these words were responded to one by one.
"Echizen-kun is at a disadvantage."
"It is said that Yukimura-kun can clearly see the essence of special moves, and these small moves will have no effect on him."
……
Seeing Echizen's ball being hit back, many people outside the court were a little nervous.
Next, except for Echizen using Sanada's 'Thunderbolt' to catch a goal beyond Yukimura's expectations, no matter what moves he used, he couldn't score.
When he wanted to use Atobe's 'World of Ice' to see Yukimura's flaws, he found that he couldn't find the other person's flaws.
……
Echizen, who fell to his knees in exhaustion and refused to give up, insisted on standing up and using the "Extreme Strength of Refined Understanding". Unfortunately, it still had no effect. The ball he hit would still be easily counterattacked by Yukimura.
Watching Echizen, who has repeatedly created miracles to defeat his opponents, no matter how hard he tries, he can't get points from Yukimura, while Tachibana's score is steadily improving. This can't help but make the audience feel Yukimura's power even more.
"Maybe it's too early..." Atobe put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall and said, "We have reached that state."
"Indeed, that first-year's growth was too rapid." Renzu agreed from the side. Echizen's talent was there, but he didn't have much time to digest it.
"Because he has extremely high talent, he can learn the powerful enemy's moves one by one, but it is also because of this talent that he is played with by the selfless deep gate." In the contestant seat of Tatekai University, Sanada He said coldly, and then he looked at Yukimura's movements and sighed: "It seems that he is about to show his real tennis!"
"?!" Kirihara looked at Sanada in confusion, his clear eyes full of innocence.
……
On the field, Yukimura, who felt that Echizen was not strong enough, decided to end the game quickly and began to use the 'Destroy the Five Senses'. As Echizen gradually lost his touch, vision and hearing, coupled with Echizen's many serving errors, the score between Rikkai University and Aogakus reached 5-0.
"15-0"
……
"40-0"
When there was still one goal left, Echizen Ryoma stood up again. He realized what his father called "happy tennis" and thus opened the last door to selflessness - "the limit of seamlessness".
Looking at Echizen who started his "seamless match", many people thought that there would be a reversal in this game. Unfortunately, this reversal would not happen.
Because, even with the 'Seamless' turned on, Echizen's ball path was still seen through.
"boom--"
Seeing the tennis ball falling to the baseline, Echizen couldn't believe it, and the people outside the court also looked in disbelief.
In their opinion, ‘Seamless Clothes’ is the strongest move. How can anyone beat someone who has ‘Seamless Clothes’ activated?
But when I thought about the competition between the 'Son of God' and the 'Second Generation Samurai', I suddenly figured it out. After all, no matter how powerful the move is, it all depends on who uses it!
These guys still don't want to believe that the 'Tianyi Seamless' is weak. They would rather believe that it's because the 'Second Generation Samurai' is not strong enough, so it seems that this responsibility can only be left to Echizen Ryoma.
"6-0, the game is over, Tatekai Daiyukimura wins!"
“The winner of this national competition is——Lihai University Affiliated Middle School, with a total score of 5 to 0!”
When the referee announced Li Hai as the national champion, although some people were unwilling to accept the reality, most people still applauded Li Hai.
The members of the Rikkai cheerleading team and ordinary members of the tennis club were also cheering.
The main candidates looked at the minister who was walking slowly towards him, and rushed towards him under the leadership of someone who didn't know who it was. The scene was once chaotic.
When receiving the championship trophy, Yukimura solemnly handed the trophy to Kirihara in front of reporters and onlookers, and Kirihara also showed a steady side. He took the championship trophy with both hands and stood next to Urayama Shota and Hoshino Genichi. In the middle, the other main candidates stood in an arc behind them. The reporters' cameras captured this scene.
In addition to this scene, reporters took photos of the current Rikkai University minister handing over the trophy and banner to his successor.
……
After everything was over, at Amamiya Lan's suggestion, Liu agreed to spend all the remaining funds of the tennis club. Seeing how much funds were left, several scheming seniors looked at the trio of sophomores. They couldn't help but want to cause trouble.
With abundant funds, they chose a buffet restaurant with a good environment, rich variety of food and delicious taste, as well as barbecue, grilled fish and Haidilao. This restaurant has many advantages, and the only disadvantage is that it is a bit expensive.
After Liu calculated the remaining funds and found that it was just right, they walked into the restaurant.
The teenagers were quite satisfied with this meal.
After eating and drinking, a group of people returned to the school and placed the trophies and banners in the specially left places.
After that, the handover began in the tennis club's conference room.
Yukimura handed over the position of director to Kirihara, Sanada handed over the position of deputy director to Urayama Shota, and Yanagi handed over some of his training menu plans and some ideas to Hoshino.
After that, several third-year seniors all resigned from the club. Although Kirihara didn't want to approve it, Amamiya Arashi asked Yukimura to stamp eight withdrawal applications with the minister's seal in advance, which happened to be one for each of them.
When seeing the eight stamped withdrawal applications, Kirihara burst into tears. Although Urayama and Hoshino on the side were also sad, they had already been mentally prepared.
Looking at Kirihara who was crying and almost out of breath, several seniors said that they just filled out the forms first and would only withdraw from the club in the last semester, but the effect may not be very good. Although Kirihara's crying was a little quieter, it still didn't stop.
In the end, Nioh came directly and said, "The funds for the tennis club have been used up. If Komatsu doesn't think of a way, he will have to disband the tennis club." Kirihara was so frightened that he stood up quickly to figure out the situation.
Knowing that the funds were indeed gone, but after the school started, because of the tennis club's national championship record, the school would give out a generous bonus, Kirihara's heart settled down. He did not want at all that he had just taken over as the director, and then the tennis club It faces the risk of dissolution.
I heard Liu mention that the bonus might not be enough, but if you add in the rewards given by the school after getting a certain ranking in the campus festival, it should be enough for this year. Kirihara's eyes suddenly burst into flames.
