The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 193 Easily Advance to the Top Four
When Hyotei's name appeared on the battle list, Maya Yuuki, who was sitting in the front row, took a look.

Just as he thought, Hyotei's semi-final group was together with Aogaku.

Hyotei is B6 and Seigaku is B1.

Good news, the team led by Tobe is expected to advance into the top 16.

Bad news, Hyotei is expected to stop in the quarterfinals.

As for the grouping of Rikkai University itself, Genichirō Sanada is still associated with the number "1", but this time he is the last one.

The number Rikkai University drew this time was D8.

After a while, the drawing was over. Yuuki Maya took a look and found that this time's drawing was exactly the same as in the original timeline.

Qingxue had a bye in the first round and faced Higachu in the second round.

And if they want to meet Seigaku, it can only be in the finals.

"As expected, the finals still have to decide the outcome."

Maya Yuuki felt emotional in her heart, but didn't pay much attention to it.

After the draw, there were some routine competition instructions. These were for the schools that were participating in the national conference for the first time, but Yuuki Maya ignored them.

After the draw ceremony, the teams left the venue one after another.

……

Time flies, and a week later, the national conference officially opened.

Since this time it is held in Tokyo, Yuki and his friends no longer need to set off a day in advance like last year. This year they only need to take a bus early in the morning from Kanagawa to the venue in Tokyo.

On the first day they just came to attend the opening ceremony and had no games to play.

After listening to the speech on the stage with yawns, the Rikkai University team members dispersed on the spot and moved freely.

"Are there any matches worth watching in the first round?" Niou Masaharu asked boredly after the match was disbanded.

"Not really. The teams that need attention all have byes in the first round this year. Maybe Hyotei is the only one worth a look." Yanagi Renji stated calmly.

There were not many schools that had changes in overall strength this year, and Kansai and Shitenhoji still won the championship without any suspense.

Except for some changes in the ownership of individual champions, other small divisions still have the same old faces.

"Is that so? Then can we go back?" Niou Masaharu pondered for a moment and looked at the others.

"We can go back now, there's nothing to see." Yuuki Maya responded calmly.

"You guys go back first. I'll stay here and observe, just in case." As Rikkai University's military advisor, Yanagi Renji did not choose to leave, but stayed to collect intelligence competently.

"Liu, thank you for your hard work." Yukimura Seiichi nodded and greeted him.

Afterwards, except for Yanagi Renji, the other seven candidates decisively left the venue.

The next day, Rikkai University, which once again appeared at the national convention venue, welcomed its first game.

Their opponent is Rokurigaoka from Aichi Prefecture.

It was a simple 5-0 victory that took less than fifty minutes. Rikkai University showed its absolute strength as the defending champion for the first time in this national conference.

"You're still so strong, Rikkai University."

"As expected of a team aiming for a three-peat, their strengths are truly unmatched."

“Will there be any schools that are their opponents this year?”

“Is an unprecedented record about to be set?”

"..."

The audience who watched this game talked to each other. They couldn't imagine what team could stop Rikkai University. And 5 minutes after Yuuki and his team left the venue, in the B area, after a round of fierce fighting, Seigaku won against Higa Middle School with a score of 0-.

On the third day's match, Rikkai University faced its old rival, Kabuto Junior High School in Nara Prefecture, and the outcome was decided in less than forty minutes.

They sent their old rival home 3-0 and easily advanced to the semi-finals.

"Nagoya Seitoku?"

When he learned that his opponent in tomorrow's semi-final was a school he hadn't heard of much, Genichirō Sanada looked at Renji Yanagi beside him with an inquiring look.

"Well, it is a team composed of foreign students, but it is worth mentioning that they have only sent second-team members to play in the quarterfinals so far, and these second-team members were also the main players last year.

"In other words, the strength of the opponent's main players has not been revealed until now." Yanagi Renji told some of the information he had obtained.

"Oh? They seem to be a group of very interesting opponents. What do you think, Yuki?" Yukimura Seiichi smiled and looked at Yuki Maya beside him.

"Once you play, you will know. There is nothing to worry about. No one can stop us from winning the championship."

Yuuki Maya said calmly, he knew very well the strength of that group of foreigners.

The hard power is indeed good, but the overall strength is not as good as the Shitenho Temple, and it is not a threat to them at all.

"Indeed, but just in case, I think we still need to take tomorrow's lineup seriously." Yanagi Renji said cautiously.

"What Liu said makes sense. Let me be the first to go on stage tomorrow to test their level." Genichirō Sanada said seriously.

Ever since seeing Maya Yuuki's tennis, the mentality of all the members of Rikkai University has changed. They no longer look down on other opponents with a condescending attitude.

And this kind of Rikkai University is even more terrifying than them in the original timeline.

The next day, the semi-finals began.

Just as Yanagi Renji had expected, the player sent by Nagoya Seitoku was no longer a member of the second team, and the first player to play in the singles match was one of the foreigners.

Fifteen minutes later, the scene that this group of foreign students wanted to see did not appear. Amid their stunned expressions, Genichirō Sanada ended the game 6-0 without breaking a sweat.

Then, the same thing happened in the second doubles match, with Marui Bunta and Yanagi Renji striking at the first opportunity.

The battle was over in just twenty minutes, with the same 6-0 score, giving Rikkai University the match point directly.

"Impossible! How could we lose to an island nation that is so backward in tennis..."

This group of foreign students couldn't believe that in Japan, a tennis desert, there would be junior high school students with such high tennis skills.

"You guys really embarrassed us..."

A foreign student with long flowing hair walked out of the team. He had a grim expression and was very dissatisfied with several of his teammates who had lost the previous games.

"I will finish this game quickly. Don't lose the next games." The long-haired foreign student said coldly.

"Yuuki, the guy on the other side said he'll finish you off quickly."

In the Rikkai University team, Yagyu Hiroshi kindly translated the other side's spoken language into a localized form.

"Come on, I'm not Kirihara, I still understand this kind of thing."

Yuuki Maya picked up the racket and said with a relaxed smile: "But, that guy is right, this game will indeed end very quickly."

Slowly walking into the stadium, he stood opposite the foreign student.

"The second singles match of the National Tournament semifinals begins, Rikkai Dai Yuuki vs. Nagoya Seitoku Kurasa."

"End of set, Yuuki serves."
