The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

The hit tennis ball flew back lightly and hit the top of the net.

Then it rolled a short distance along the top of the net and landed on the front side of Qingxue's net.

Dashi, who originally wanted to run over to save the ball, could only stop and stand there blankly, watching the tennis ball that had stopped rolling lying there.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately as the ball landed.

"Game, Rikkai University won, the score was 6 to 1."

At this point, the second doubles match ended. It took less than twenty minutes in total, and Rikkai easily won the first game.

For Yanagi Renji and Marui Bunta, this match was just like any other practice match with weights. There was nothing special about it and it was as dull as water.

----

[This scene is indeed my fault. I planned to end it in two or three chapters, and by the way, describe the character of Liu's military advisor. In the end, everyone didn't like it because it was too long. It didn't make everyone happy. I am guilty. There is something wrong with my thinking. I accept everyone's criticism orz. ]

There is another chapter to be posted at the old time.

Chapter 61: Qingxue's Strange Tactics

Shuichiro Oishi was still staring blankly at the tennis ball that had long been motionless. The little light that was still in his eyes had dimmed and disappeared the moment the game ended.

The loss was so tragic, even more tragic than the loss to Yamabuki.

If he felt that he could have a chance for revenge in the future even if he lost against the doubles team of Yamabuki, then the doubles team of Rikkai University in front of him made him feel that he had no desire to challenge them again.

After fighting against them with a heavy load throughout the match, we were beaten 6 to 1. This cannot be simply described by the difference in strength. We were no longer opponents of the same level.

This is the level of the regular season players of the “king” Rikkai University.

Oishi Shuichiro once again deeply realized the value of the word "king", and this level was only their doubles.

After the first doubles match, Oishi Shuichiro supported Kikumaru Eiji to the net for a post-match handshake.

After the two sides politely shook hands with each other, they understood each other and did not say anything. Instead, they quickly turned around and walked back to the preparation area.

"Well done, Liu." Genichirō Sanada praised with a smile.

He won the first game easily without even revealing too much of his strength, and in the process shocked the other members of Qingxue.

Renji Yanagi and Bunta Marui can be said to have given Rikkai University a perfect start.

"It's nothing. All of this is just part of the plan. Data won't lie." Yanagi Renji took a towel and gently wiped his face, which was not sweaty at all, and said calmly.

"Why doesn't anyone praise me?" Marui Bunta said with a pout.

"Your acting skills are not bad, Bunta, they're one-third of my level." Niou Masaharu came out from the side and praised.

"Tsk, are you praising me or yourself?" Marui Fumita asked unhappily.

"Haha, it's all the same." Niou Masaharu patted Marui Bunta's shoulder, raised the racket and put the handle against his shoulder, and said to Yagyu Hiroshi beside him: "Next, it's up to us."

"Yeah, I hope it can end soon." Yagyu Hiroshi nodded in response.

On the other side, in the preparation area of ​​​​Seigaku, Oishi Shuichiro, who helped Kikumaru Eiji back to the preparation area of ​​​​Seigaku, immediately apologized to Ryusaki Sumire with full apology: "I'm sorry, coach, we lost."

"Look up, Oishi. I knew you would have a hard time in this match, and I expected you to lose, so there's no need to apologize to me." Ryuzaki Sumire did not blame him.

Anyone can see that the strength levels of the two sides are not at the same level at all. It would be too difficult for Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji to win this game.

"It's okay, Oishi, for the next game, we will work together with you." Inui Sadaharu walked to Oishi Shuichiro's side, put a hand on his shoulder and said seriously.

"That's right, leave Oishi and Kikumaru to us." Fuji Shusuke also walked up to Oishi Shuichiro and comforted him.

At this moment, Fuji Shusuke looked more serious and solemn than ever before.

"The first doubles match is about to begin. Doubles players from both schools, please enter the venue."

The referee's announcement resounded throughout the stadium at the right time.

The noisy discussions around gradually became quiet because of this sentence, until it became completely calm.

"Then let's go on stage." Fuji Shusuke looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu and said to the other members of Seigaku.

"Just focus on it, Fuji," Tezuka Kunimitsu reminded succinctly.

"Don't worry, we're facing Rikkai University. I will do my best, right?" Fuji Shusuke replied with a smile.

"Well, of course. It's a good opportunity to let that guy see that my tennis data is no worse than his." While replying, Inui Sadaharu looked across the entire tennis court in the direction of Rikkai University.

Yanagi Renji seemed to have sensed something, and the next second after Inui Sadaharu's gaze moved over, he turned his head to look in the direction of Seigaku and his eyes met Inui Sadaharu's.

As if he understood the meaning in the other person's eyes, Yanagi Renji was slightly surprised.

"Could it be that the next doubles match of Seigaku will be——"

Yanagi Renji had an inexplicable guess.

"Let's stop chatting, Bunta, let's go in."

Next to Yanagi Renji, Niou Masaharu, after hearing the referee's words, casually waved to everyone at Rikkai University, then walked towards the court, with Yagyu Hiroshi following closely behind him.

Marui Bunta looked at Niou Masaharu's back as he left, rubbed his chin and showed a puzzled look: "I always feel that something is wrong with Niou today? What do you think, Yuuki?"

Yuuki Maya casually glanced at Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi who were walking into the stadium, and said with a mysterious smile: "Who knows, maybe there will be a surprise later."

"Surprise?! What is that?" Marui Fumita didn't understand and became more and more confused the more he listened.

"It's nothing. Just focus on watching the game. This match of Seigaku's first doubles team is really unexpected." Yuuki Maya suddenly changed the subject.

After being told this by Yui Maya, Marui Bunta turned around and said, "Huh? Seigaku actually sent these two people to form a doubles team?"

On the court, Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu came to the net side by side, facing Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi who also stood in front of the net.

"So Seigaku's formation this time is intended to be a desperate one? In that case, it seems that your previous guess, Yuuki, is correct." Yanagi Renji was a little surprised after seeing Seigaku's doubles team, but he didn't look shocked.

"Well, but in this case, this game will be a bit interesting." Maya Yuuki judged after looking at the situation on the field.

"That's right. Putting aside the tacit understanding between the two pairs of Qingxue, the individual strengths of these two people can indeed cause considerable trouble to Niou and his men."

Yanagi Renji nodded and completely agreed with him. There was no doubt about Fuji Shusuke's strength after it had been personally verified by Yuuki Maya, and he also had his own judgment on Inui Sadaharu's strength. Once the doubles between these two people produced a good chemical reaction, Niou and the others would have to work harder to win quickly.

On the field, Fuji Shusuke looked at Niou Masaharu's arms and calves, and suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you two should also be carrying weights."

"Yeah, you're right." Niou Masaharu did not refute. Marui Bunta had already exposed something in the previous game, so there was no need for him to lie to cover it up.

"Don't you want to take it off now? I'm afraid you won't have a chance later." Fuji Shusuke's eyes were cold, and he reminded in a "friendly" way.

"Oh? Then let me see if you can do it with your ability." Niou Masaharu said with a fox smile.

When Fuji Shusuke heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Inui Sadaharu who was standing next to him clearly felt that the air was already filled with the smell of gunpowder before the fight even started.

……

Chapter 62 Reflection!

In view of the strong feedback from many book lovers, we sincerely apologize.

My original intention was definitely not to weaken Rikkai University in order to prolong the game, but I was afraid that people would get aesthetic fatigue after seeing too many crushing games.

But now it seems that it has backfired, so I know what to do. I have deleted the two chapters that I was going to post tomorrow, and will rewrite them in the evening. A situation like the last one will definitely not happen again.

But

Chapter 63: Suppression at the start, "Niwang" breaks

"Now let's start the first doubles match."

"The set is over, Rikkai University is serving."

Niou Masaharu had just guessed the direction of the racket correctly, winning the first serve game for Rikkai University.

As the referee's voice fell, the atmosphere around the court became unusually quiet, and everyone was concentrating on watching the actions of the two teams on the field.

Standing in the serving area, Hirosaki Yagyu held a tennis ball in his left hand, his eyes sweeping across the Qingxue half of the court through his glasses.

He hit the tennis ball twice, threw it along, and then swung the racket down heavily.

Suddenly, the tennis ball turned into a light yellow afterimage, rushed past Inui Sadaharu, and flew out of bounds.

"What a fast ball speed."

Inui Sadaharu, who was responsible for catching the ball for the first time, was slightly surprised. He thought that the players from Rikkai University would make some tentative moves like in the previous game.

As a result, he used such a high-speed serve at the beginning, which obviously revealed his intention to win the game quickly.

"15 to 0."

Behind Inui Sadaharu, there was the sound of a tennis ball falling to the ground. He failed to catch the ball and Rikkai University scored first.

"What's wrong with you, Inui?" Fuji Shusuke asked from the side. He thought something had happened to Inui Sadaharu. Although the serve just now was fast, it shouldn't be so bad that he had no reaction at all like him.

"It's nothing, but Fuji, we have to be careful next time. The opponent's doubles style is completely different from the previous one." Inui Sadaharu reminded carefully.

"I understand. I'll be careful." Fuji Shusuke nodded. He felt relieved to see that Inui Sadaharu was fine.

Whoosh.

The second round of serve came again, and this time it was received by Fuji Shusuke.

Although the ball was very fast, it was not difficult for him to receive a serve of this speed.

Raising his arm and extending his tennis racket, Fuji Shusuke steadily intercepted the tennis ball as it bounced.

Then press the racket and swing it out, hitting the tennis ball back at a very low angle.

The return ball flew over the net and headed toward Rikkai University's backcourt.

Niou Masaharu ran a few steps to catch up with the tennis ball, and with a forehand swing, he hit the tennis ball back, muttering to himself: "As expected of a singles player from Seigaku, your level is much better than those two people just now."

"It's useless no matter how much you praise me." Fuji Shusuke was active in the frontcourt to block the tennis ball. He would not take it lightly because of a little praise from the opponent.

"You misunderstood. What he meant was that your doubles level is not as good as those two people just now."

Hiroshi Yagyu appeared behind the tennis ball at some point and hit the return ball in one swoop.

The tennis ball went straight through the net and landed on the ground the next second, bouncing out of bounds.

In this return shot, Yagyu Hiroshi easily seized the gap between Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu's crossing movements and hit the tennis ball into the blind spot where the opponent had no time to save the ball.

30-0

Fuji Shusuke looked down at the tennis ball that had passed between the two of them and was lying quietly on the ground, his brows slightly frowned.

"What a sharp insight." Ryuzaki Sumire sighed while sitting in the coaching seat.

In just a few rounds, the players of Rikkai University discovered the weaknesses of Inui Sadaharu and his team.

If the temporary doubles team is not compatible enough with each other, it is easy for coordination loopholes to appear.

Although the personal levels of Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu can cover up some of the shortcomings, when facing those high-level doubles combinations, this shortcoming will be immediately magnified by the opponents.

On the field, the sound of rapid hitting the ball rang out again.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had fought several rounds again.

As Ryuusaki Sumire expected, Fuji and Inui Sadaharu, who lacked tacit understanding, quickly lost the first game.

"Rikkai University is leading, the score is 1 to 0."

Niou Masaharu, who won a round, was in a good mood. He said to Fuji Shusuke: "You are quite strong, but if you want to beat us, you need to practice for a few more years."

Fuji Shusuke stood at the serving position with an expressionless face, ignoring the other party's words.

"No reaction? It turns out I'm still not good at this." Seeing that he ignored him, Niou Masaharu muttered in a low voice.

He just wanted to put psychological pressure on his opponent through some verbal oppression.

Subconsciously, she wanted to put her hand on the bridge of her nose, but Niou Masaharu paused and skillfully changed his gesture to pinch her hair.

The second game started with the referee's announcement.

Fuji Shusuke exhaled, and slowly raised the arm holding the tennis ball, making it nearly a 90-degree angle with his body.

Then, the thumb and index finger holding the tennis ball suddenly exert force and twist it, and the tennis ball falls out of the hand and rotates at high speed as it falls.

The next moment, Fuji Shusuke hit the tennis ball from bottom to top, and the ball flew towards Niou Masaharu who was standing in the receiving position at a moderate speed.
