The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 80: A Final Battle, Emperor vs. Emperor
When Rikkai University was now leading with a total score of 2 to 0, everyone knew that Hyotei's situation was extremely dangerous.

And everyone knows that once the doubles match is over, Hyotei will have even less chance of winning in the singles match.

Rikkai University, which has the strongest group of singles players in the country, has no theoretical weaknesses at all.

It is a question whether Hyotei can survive the next singles match against three people.

"Always victorious, establish the sea!"

"Always victorious, establish the sea!"

"..."

Hyotei's fan club has completely died down, but Rikkai University's supporters have already started to shout enthusiastic slogans.

"This year's Hyotei is still no match for Rikkai University."

"Kanto's position as the second-best country for ten thousand years is really solid."

"Rikkai University's strength is really exaggerated. It seems that this year's national championship will belong to them again."

"I don't know who Hyotei will send out for the third singles match. It seems that apart from their captain who has a chance to win, sending anyone else is useless."

The crowds watching around the stadium were talking to each other. After the two games, the situation was very clear. In their eyes, Ice Emperor had basically been sentenced to death and there was no possibility of a comeback.

Among those present were contestants from schools that had been eliminated in the first few rounds of the Kanto Conference, who had come specially to watch the game today.

Others include Seigaku and Rokkaku, who are both in the top four, as well as Midoriya, Itosha and other top eight teams that have a chance to compete for a spot in the national tournament.

Even the students from Yamabuki Junior High School, who were eliminated in the first round, stood at a distance and watched the situation.

"A team as strong as Hyotei is so vulnerable when facing the Kanto overlord Rikkai University."

In the Qingxue team, Inui Sadaharu silently put down the notebook in his hand and said in a deep voice.

His words were also the intuitive feelings of the other students in Qingxue after watching the first two games.

Hyotei, a prestigious school in Tokyo that dealt them a heavy blow at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference, was like a child being manipulated at will in front of Rikkai University, without even the slightest chance to resist.

Doubles 1: 6 to
Doubles 0: 6 to
The regular players of Hyotei who had caused them countless troubles in doubles were also suppressed and beaten up badly when facing the doubles combination of Rikkai University.

"Hiss, such a strong Hyotei actually got the same score as us?" Kikumaru Eiji couldn't believe the scoreboard he saw.

Logically speaking, the Hyotei players, who are much stronger than them in doubles, should have scored at least two or three more points.

"Kikumaru, you seem to have forgotten that the game you and Oishi won was caused by your opponent." Inui Sadaharu said calmly.

"Tsk, I know that without you reminding me." Kikumaru Eiji's face turned red and he glared at Inui Sadaharu.

After the game ended yesterday, he calmed down and went back to review the game. He found that the game they won was full of doubts and was not won by their own strength at all.

"It seems that Hyotei can't stop Rikkai Dachan from winning the Kanto Championship. They've won fifteen consecutive titles. What a terrifying dominance." Fuji Shusuke sighed on the side.

Only after personally participating in this year's competition could he understand more clearly how exaggerated the record of fifteen consecutive victories in the Kanto Conference was.

"I feel like if we want to beat this Rikkai University team, we need at least two or three Tezukas." Kikumaru Eiji said metaphorically, counting on his fingers.

"Kikumaru, to be precise, if we want to defeat Rikkai University, we need at least four Tezukas." Inui Sadaharu said seriously with a serious expression.

"Qian, from the sound of your voice, you have really thought about the possibility of defeating Rikkai University." Oishi Shuichiro expressed shock. He asked himself honestly and decided that he did not dare to think about defeating Rikkai University at the moment.

"Yeah, that's natural. Even though we lost this year, we still have to consider next year." Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and said as a matter of course.

……

On the other side, Maya Yuuki and Akari Kirihara, who won the game, also returned to the team.

"As expected of you, Yuuki, you finished the game so quickly." Marui Bunta took the lead in praising.

"Hey, Marui-senpai, I also contributed." Kirihara Akaya was not happy that the other party ignored him. "Yes, yes, it is indeed your contribution, Kirihara. Without you, Yuki wouldn't be able to serve." Marui Fumita waved his hand perfunctorily, which made Kirihara Akaya grit his teeth but dared not to get angry.

"Sanada, your match will be started soon. Finish it early. After you win the championship, we will go to the hospital to visit Yukimura." Maya Yuuki let the two men quarrel. He turned to Genichirō Sanada who was already fully equipped and said.

"Well, I know it without you telling me. Don't worry, no matter who my opponent is, I will finish it as quickly as possible." Genichirō Sanada looked solemn.

The championship of the Kanto Conference cannot be lost, so he will personally draw an end to today's competition.

"The third singles match between Rikkai University and Hyotei in the Kanto Conference Finals is about to begin. Both teams are requested to enter the venue as soon as possible."

The broadcast sounded, and Genichirō Sanada nodded to everyone at Rikkai University, then turned and entered the stadium.

On the other side, in Hyotei's preparation area, a gleam of light flashed in Keigo Atobe's eyes after hearing the broadcast.

He immediately stood up from his seat, took off his coat and threw it away casually.

The coat flew into the air and was caught by Takahiro Kabaji who was standing nearby with his precise hands and hung on his arm.

Then, Keigo Atobe picked up his tennis racket and slowly walked to the baseline of the court and stopped.

And the moment he stopped, Hyotei's fans who had been silent in the audience immediately stood up and burst into thunderous cheers.

"ice King!"

"ice King!"

"ice King!"

"..."

The cheers were like a tsunami, completely surrounding the entire stadium and completely drowning out the momentum of Rikkai University's supporters.

Surrounded by the cheers of the fan club, Atobe Keigo slowly raised his left hand.

Snapped

A crisp and loud snap of fingers came from his hands.

In an instant, the fans who were originally cheering wildly immediately fell silent in tacit agreement.

"Victory belongs to Ice Emperor."

Atobe Keigo spoke with confidence, then lowered his raised arms and entered the court.

In front of the net, Genichirō Sanada and Keigo Atobe stood there staring at each other.

Genichirō Sanada's eyes were as calm as water, as if the grand performance just now had no effect on him at all.

"How about it, Sanada? Are you intoxicated by my gorgeous performance?" Atobe Keigo said with a self-indulgent smile.

Genichirō Sanada glanced at him without changing his expression, and replied disapprovingly: "I hope you can still laugh after the game is over."

"Hmph, the winner of this game will only be me." Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo restrained his smile.

Genichirō Sanada seemed to have heard nothing and ignored the other person.

"The third singles match will begin now, Rikkai University Sanada vs. Hyotei Atobe"

"End of set, Hyotei serves."

After guessing the sides, the third singles match officially began at the referee's signal.

Everyone should understand the difference between Atobe and Sanada. I hope Atobe fans won’t diss me after I finish writing this…
