The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 66: The unfinished confrontation two years ago (transition chapter)
"Fuji, are you okay?"

Inui Sadaharu's voice came from behind, waking up Fuji Shusuke who was still standing there in a daze.

He turned around and was met with a complicated expression on Inui Sadaharu's face.

"I'm sorry, Fuji. My data didn't work. We lost..."

Fuji Shusuke was stunned for a while, then adjusted his attitude and forced a smile, saying, "My skills are inferior to others, there is nothing I can do about it."

After a brief exchange of words, the two were silent for a while, then patted each other on the shoulder in tacit understanding and said in unison: "Next time, find a way to win it back."

On the other side, in Rikkai University’s half.

Yagyu Hiroshi restrained his movements and stood as usual. Niou Masaharu came from the backcourt and stopped beside him.

"Your dazzling move just now has revealed a flaw. They might find out." Niou Masaharu lowered his voice and said softly. There seemed to be a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Pfft... it shouldn't be that necessary." Yagyu Hiroshi secretly glanced at the direction of Rikkai University's preparation area with his peripheral vision and said with some guilt.

"It's up to you. If you get recognized, don't ask me to play this kind of trick with you next time." Niou Masaharu said in a low voice in a tone that was inconsistent with his character.

"Shouldn't we go shake hands, right - Niou?" Yagyu Birushi abruptly changed the subject and walked to the net first.

Niou Masaharu looked at his behavior, sighed slightly, and followed him.

"Thanks for your hard work--"

After the two sides shook hands, there was no further communication before they returned to their respective preparation areas.

After Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu slowly walked back to the group of Seigaku, they looked at each other, and Fuji Shusuke spoke first: "I'm sorry, Coach Ryuuzaki, we didn't win this game."

Not only did we fail to win, this game was even more embarrassing than the previous one.

The score of 6-0 fully demonstrated the huge gap between the two sides. Moreover, the opponent never took off the weights from beginning to end, and even in the end the opponent used his own unique skills to win the match point.

It was such an ugly loss.

"Coach, it's not just Fuji. I have problems too. My data didn't have any effect in this game." Inui Sadaharu followed up with another statement. He would not let Fuji Shusuke take all the responsibility alone.

"Okay, both of you, stop for a moment." Ryuzaki Sumire interrupted the two who wanted to continue talking.

"Losing to the national-level doubles team from Rikkai University is not shameful. There's no need to blame yourself too much."

"You are all excellent singles players, and you formed a doubles team temporarily to cooperate with my ideas. I am also responsible for the loss this time."

Although Ryuzaki Sumire felt very upset because of losing two games in a row, she did not blame Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu for her mistakes.

Losing a match due to lack of strength is a problem that almost everyone on the tennis court will face.

At this time, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who had gone out to warm up, came back from outside the court. He calmly glanced at the scoreboard on the other side of the court, and without saying anything, he walked up to Ryuzaki Sumire and said, "Coach, I've finished warming up."

"Tezuka..."

Ryuzaki Sumire looked at the expressionless Tezuka Kunimitsu in front of him, feeling mixed emotions. After a few breaths, he spoke: "Tezuka, you can play freely in the game later."

She wanted to say something like bringing victory to Seigaku, but then she thought that even if Tezuka Kunimitsu won the next game, so what? There were only two singles left, two singles and three singles, and Seigaku had no one available. On the other hand, Rikkai University still had several national-level players who had not played.

"Yes, coach." Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded. His eyes swept across the faces of Fuji Shusuke and others, taking in their expressions.

……

In the preparation area of ​​Rikkai University, Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi, who won the game, returned to the Rikkai University team. "Well done, Yagyu. I didn't expect you to have such a talent for stealing other people's skills." Marui Bunta praised him right away.

Yagyu Hiroshi controlled the corners of his mouth and did not let it curl up, then put on a calm expression and said: "This is not something worth showing off."

"You are still low-key, Yagyu. Unlike a certain fox who likes to show off and imitate other people's ball skills." Marui Fumita believed his words without any doubt.

After looking at the two of them, Yuuki Maya smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

"Well done, Niou and Yagyu, they won very cleanly." Genichirō Sanada also praised.

After he finished speaking, he turned to look in the direction of Yuuki Maya, his expression becoming serious: "Yuuki, it's finally your turn to compete."

"Well, it's finally my turn. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time." Maya Yuuki sighed slightly.

The result of the undecided match two years ago should be announced today.

"Will it definitely be Tezuka?" asked Genichirō Sanada in an uncertain tone.

"Believe me, one hundred percent." Yuuki Maya answered firmly.

Hearing Yuuki Maya's confirming expression, Sanada Genichirō nodded and said no more, but waited quietly for the game to begin.

I didn't have to wait too long. A few minutes later, the referee's voice came from the court: "The third singles match will begin now. Both players, please come on stage."

"Coach, I'm on." After hearing the referee's call, Kunimitsu Tezuka left the Qingxue preparation area with his racket and walked into the court.

On the other side, the same thing happened to Maya Yuuki.

Finally, the players from both sides stood on both sides of the net, waiting for the referee's next instructions.

"Finally, the boy named Tezuka Kunimitsu has appeared."

In the audience seats outside the stadium, Mamoru Inoue was startled and adjusted the angle of the camera in his hand.

Ever since Tezuka Kunimitsu revealed his skill of domain in the match between Seigaku and Yamabuki, Inoue Mamoru has completely put him on his list of key focuses.

He was present throughout today's match between Seigaku and Rikkai University, just to see Tezuka Kunimitsu take action again.

In the previous match, Tezuka Kunimitsu only used his domain at the very end, leaving Inoue Mamoru unable to judge to what extent his opponent could achieve.

But today, the strength of the champion Rikkai University can definitely allow him to clearly see what level of tennis Tezuka Kunimitsu is at now.

"Is the opponent one of the four giants of Rikkai University, Yuuki Maya? She is also a player whose strength is a mystery."

After Inoue Mamoru moved his gaze away from Tezuka Kunimitsu, he looked at his opponent and analyzed him.

His understanding of Maya Yuuki is still stuck at last year's national tournament. Because she made few moves and did not encounter opponents of equal strength, Inoue Mamoru did not get to see Maya Yuuki display her full strength.

"It's a good opportunity to take this opportunity to understand his true strength. This game really kills two birds with one stone."

Mamoru Inoue was extremely excited and had already turned on his camera, ready to record the entire process of this exciting duel.
