The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 168: Qingxue spectating the match, the first doubles competition

"Hehehe, you're so vulnerable!"

Although the game is over, the demonized Kirihara Akaya is still in his arrogant state.

"That's enough, Kirihara, the game is over."

Marui Bunta sighed slightly, obviously unable to stand Kirihara Akaya's middle school personality.

"Uh - I know, Senior..."

Kirihara Akaya's laughter suddenly stopped, his white hair gradually faded back to its original black color, his bloodshot eyeballs returned to normal, and his fair skin returned again.

Because after activating the demonization early last year, after a period of tempering, Kirihara Akari is no longer like in the original timeline, and needs the deterrence of the three giants to forcibly exit the demonization state.

"It seems that it won't be long before Kirihara can master the angelic state. This is good news."

Maya Yuuki looked at Kirihara who had voluntarily exited the demon state and nodded secretly with satisfaction.

The two sides shook hands politely after the game. After being shut out, Mukai Gakuto no longer had his previous confident look. He looked dejected and said nothing while shaking hands.

Although Yuushi Oshitari did not look as bad as his partner, he also had a heavy face because he lost so badly.

After shaking hands, Marui and Kirihara immediately turned around and walked out of the stadium, and the two people from Hyotei did the same.

"Sorry, Coach Sakaki, we lost again." Yuushi Oshitari said in a deep voice after returning to the preparation area. They failed to live up to the expectations of their teammates.

"There's no need to do that. Only by realizing your own weakness can you face up to your own shortcomings." Sakaki Taro did not blame him. He had already anticipated this natural result.

Taro Sakaki has been the coach of the tennis club at Hyotei for such a long time. Watching successive generations of tennis team members being defeated by the Kanto king time and time again, he no longer feels any emotion in his heart.

"Oshitari, and Mukai, you've done your best. Go aside and rest for now," Sakaki Taro gestured.

After the two came back, Atobe Keigo didn't say anything.

Especially when he saw Mukai Taketo, who was exhausted and needed the support of Oshitari Yuushi to sit down.

On the other side, at Rikkai University, after Marui and Kirihara returned to the team, the others only gave them a few symbolic compliments.

This victory was well deserved for them, so naturally they would not show any joy.

However, when Yukimura Seiichi saw Kirihara Akaya coming back, he looked at him with curiosity.

After all, he had basically left the tennis club during the time he was in the hospital. Even though he heard some fragments from other regular players who came to visit him, he was still a little surprised when he saw Kirihara's demonization for the first time with his own eyes.

Outside the competition stadium, during the short break after the first game between Rikkai University and Hyotei, a group of junior high school students in blue and white uniforms came here from another stadium.

It was the number one seed Seigaku from Tokyo. They showed up here unexpectedly, which surprised passersby who noticed them.

The reason for the surprise was naturally because the first round of the Kanto Conference started at the same time for all participating teams.

But at this moment, the members of Qingxue were not playing in the game, which meant that something happened that they were not aware of.

"I didn't expect Yinhua Middle School to give up. We have been waiting there for a long time." Momoshiro Takeshi complained speechlessly.

They had arrived early to prepare for the match of Seigaku today, but they didn't expect this result, which made Momoshiro Takeshi's plan to show off his skills go down the drain. "Isn't this good, senior? It saves time and effort." Next to Momoshiro Takeshi, Echizen Ryoma, who looked indifferent, responded while scanning the surroundings.

After learning that they had won today's match without a fight, after unanimous discussion among those present, the Qingxue group did not disband on the spot, but instead came to the competition venue in Area A at the same time.

The first round match between Hyotei and Rikkai University is something that anyone who pays attention to the game will not want to miss.

In particular, Seigaku now regards Rikkai University as the mountain that it is bound to encounter.

"I didn't expect that Hyotei would lose the first game so soon." Fuji Shusuke, who noticed the numbers on the scoreboard first, sounded a little surprised.

Although they knew before coming that Hyotei would most likely lose, what Fuji Shusuke didn't expect was that when they arrived here, the second doubles match had already ended.

You know, from the start of the game to their arrival here, less than forty minutes had passed.

"What? That Monkey Mountain King's team is so weak. I thought they were so powerful."

Because the incident when Atobe Keigo teased Tachibana An on the baseball field before left a bad impression on Echizen Ryoma, so when he saw the current score of Hyotei, Echizen Ryoma naturally would not miss the opportunity to mock the opponent.

"Echizen, don't really think that Hyotei is weak. They just happened to be unlucky and ran into Rikkai University." Inui Sadaharu warned in a serious tone.

Although Seigaku and Hyotei have not faced each other again this year, the fact remains that the opponent is a national powerhouse.

“Oh…I see.”

When Echizen Ryoma saw how serious Inui Sadaharu was, and that he also told him about the fight between Seigaku and Hyotei last year, the contempt in his eyes gradually disappeared.

"The game is about to begin."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's emotionless voice sounded, reminding the rest of Seigaku that the second match between Rikkai University and Hyotei was about to begin.

Upon hearing this, everyone in Qingxue stopped chatting and looked towards the court below.

In their eyes, the players from both teams on the court were already standing at both ends of the net.

Rikkai University sent Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi, while Hyotei sent Shishido Ryo and Hocho Taro for the first time.
Luck was on Bingdi's side. Bingdi guessed the opposite and got the first move.

"Shishido is lucky. If they serve first, the game will have a good start." Oshitari Yuushi sat next to Atobe Keigo and analyzed the situation on the court.

Atobe Keigo nodded in agreement. Inuzuka was right. Because of Houchotaro, getting the first serve would allow them to take the initiative in the game.

But vaguely, Keigo Atobe always felt a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"The first doubles match will begin now, Rikkai Daininou Yagyu versus Hyotei Shishido Feng."

"End of game, Hyotei serves"

After the players from both sides took their positions, the referee immediately announced the game.

At the baseline, Hyotei's serve was given to Houchotaro, who was already standing there, ready to serve.
