The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 177 Finals, Second Match with Seigaku
"Hey, what? Okay... I got it. I'll be right over."

Not all members of the Rikkai University tennis club have left. Sanada, Niou Masaharu, and Yuuki Maya have not left the club yet.

After hanging up the phone, Sanada's face didn't look very good.

Upon noticing this, Renou put down his racket and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"It's the club where we often go for training. The coach there called and said that Kirihara was playing against a kid. Kirihara's playing style was a bit aggressive, and the coach was afraid something might happen, so..."

Sanada briefly explained the situation, put down his racket and prepared to go to the club.

"Let's go together. It doesn't take too long, right, Nioh?"

After hearing the situation, Maya Yuuki immediately knew what had happened. It turned out that the two guys had fought each other as expected.

"Puh, let's go." Niou Masaharu smiled slightly. He was naturally very interested in this kind of thing.

The three of them set off together tacitly, and after leaving the tennis club, they jogged all the way. After running for about fifteen minutes, they finally arrived at the tennis club.

And when the three of them arrived at the field where Kirihara and Ryoma were fighting, the match was still going on fiercely.

A faint airflow was surrounding Echizen Ryoma at this moment. Yuki Maya could tell at a glance that he was in this state and had suddenly realized the state of selflessness.

This is also the fundamental factor that enabled Echizen Ryoma to engage in a tug-of-war with Kirihara who was in the Akame state.

Up to now in the game, Kirihara Akaya has not used Demonization yet.

However, just after Yuki and the others watched for a few minutes, suddenly, Ryoma Echizen, who was getting better and better in the fight, suddenly stood there motionless.

A moment later, his racket slipped from his hands and his body fell to the tennis court.

"Humph, you overdrawn your energy by using the selfless state, and you don't even care about your own physical strength."

After seeing this scene, Sanada, who had also reached the state of selflessness, of course knew why the other party had become like this.

He walked into the stadium, passed by Echizen Ryoma, and went straight to Kirihara Akaya.

After taking a look at the scoreboard which showed 3 to 3, his expression was slightly displeased.

"Even if it's just a trivial practice match, as a regular player of Rikkai University, you should try your best to win. Kirihara, you're too lax."

The reason why Sanada was angry was not because Kirihara privately competed with his opponent in the finals.

It was because Kirihara couldn't even quickly defeat an unknown first-year student.

"I'm sorry, Vice Minister." Kirihara Akaya said depressedly.

"Okay Sanada, it's my fault. I was the one who told Kirihara not to use demonization in private."

Maya Yuuki came over and comforted Kirihara. After hearing this, the expression on Sanada's face eased a little.

"Marui, you too, as a senior, actually allowed Kirihara to play against his opponent in the finals privately."

After scolding Kirihara, Sanada did not let go of Marui Bunta who was standing beside him.

Marui Fumita scratched his head in embarrassment, pretended to be stupid and stuck out his tongue, not daring to say anything more while Sanada was angry.

"Pfft, the question now is, what to do with this kid?"

At this moment, Niou Masaharu was standing beside Echizen Ryoma who had fainted on the ground, pointing at him and giving him a friendly reminder.

"Let's call a car to take him back to Seigaku." Maya Yuuki also looked at Ryoma Echizen on the ground and was speechless for a moment.

As expected of the "protagonist", he causes trouble wherever he goes.

…………

Three days later, at the same location, the finals of the Kanto Conference will officially begin.

Before the finals began, the only two remaining spots for the national tournament from the Kanto region were decided after yesterday's loser's match.

The last two tickets to the national competition were from Yamabuki Junior High School and Midoriyama Junior High School. The auditorium at the finals venue was already full of people, and everyone was looking forward to the upcoming finals.

"This year's Qingxue is much stronger than last year."

"Maybe they have a chance to defeat Rikkai University?"

"It's unlikely. That's Rikkai University!"

"If Rikkai University wins again, it will set a record of 16 consecutive championships in Kanto... How terrifying!"

The audience present expressed their opinions and shared their views on the game.

And the vast majority of them feel that although this year's Seigaku looks very strong, it is still difficult to beat Rikkai University.

"Inoue-senpai, do you think Seigaku can win?"

In a corner of the court, Saori Shiba, holding a camera, looked inside the court with a nervous look on her face.

Since she had accompanied Mamoru Inoue to Seigaku for interviews several times before, she admired the tennis style of these children, so she naturally supported Seigaku in her heart.

However, everyone knew how terrible Rikkai University was, so in order to seek some psychological comfort, he asked Inoue Mamoru beside him.

"Hey, although I also hope that Qingxue can win, to be honest, it is really difficult for Qingxue to win."

Of course, Mamoru Inoue can deeply feel the improvement in Seigaku's overall strength this year, but this does not mean that they have the ability to truly compete with Rikkai University.

"Even the seniors are so pessimistic..."

Shiba Saori could feel the helplessness revealed in Inoue Mamoru's words, and her expectations in her heart couldn't help but drop to the bottom.

Is Rikkai University really so invincible...

While she was feeling mixed emotions, the referee had already taken his position in the court.

"The Kanto Conference finals will begin now, with Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School facing Seishun Gakuin."

"Please line up, both players."

Fourteen players entered the court one after another, divided into two teams and stood at both ends of the net facing each other.

"Tezuka, you are stronger than last year, but runner-up is your end." Genichirō Sanada said seriously to Kunimitsu Tezuka.

"Seikai Gakuin is the champion." Tezuka Kunimitsu's icy expression remained unchanged, but his tone was firm.

Having come this far, no one will back down.

"Buji, long time no see."

Without interrupting the conversation between Sanada and Tezuka, Yuki Maya approached Fuji Shusuke, with whom she had fought before.

"Well, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Without the gentle smile on his face in the past, Fuji Shusuke now looked calm and extremely serious.

Every time I see Maya Yuuki's face, the memory of that disastrous defeat will involuntarily pierce my mind.

Apart from these two couples, the rest of the people had little social interaction, so they were all silent and had no desire to communicate.

After the process was over, the players on both sides returned to their preparation areas, and the first game would start soon.

"Now we will start the second doubles match. Please invite both players to come on court."

It didn't take long to wait. A few minutes later, the referee's announcement came through the radio.

Maya Yuuki sat in her seat with her eyes fixed in the direction of Aogaku.

He wanted to see who Ryuuzaki Sumire would send out in Seigaku's first match against the complete Rikkai University.
