The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Of course, Rikkai University was the first to finish the game, and now it can be said that there are only 7 teams left.

As they expected, Kabuto Middle School did not cause any trouble to Yuuki Maya and the others.

The opponent fell down very quickly. After being defeated by Rikkai Dalian in two games, he simply resigned himself to his fate and lowered his resistance in the third game, with no fighting attitude at all.

At the end of the third day, there are only four teams left competing for this year's national championship.

They are Rikkai University in Kanagawa, Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka, Makinofuji in Hyogo, and Shishigaku in Kumamoto.

It seems like a reincarnation. Last year, the top four teams in the national conference were these four teams.

And this year, it is still these four.

However, what is different from last year is that last year Rikkai University's semi-final opponent was Shitenhoji, but now it has been changed to Shishiraku.

Shitenhoji went to the other half of the group to compete against Makinofuji in the Kansai Conference finals again.

The next day, Osaka Nagai Stadium

Since the semi-finals began, the venue is no longer the previous venue, but has been changed to this large stadium.

The semi-finals, the finals and the final awards ceremony are all held here.

At this time, there were almost no empty seats in the huge stadium.

Before the game started, the atmosphere in the audience seats was extremely hot, with countless people whispering about topics related to the game.

In an area in the middle of the audience seats, all the students from Qingxue gathered here. After losing the game yesterday, they did not leave immediately. Instead, after a collective discussion, they unanimously decided to watch the next two days of games.

It is a rare opportunity to come to a national conference, so they must learn more about the strength of those strong schools in order to further understand how much they still lack.

The waiting process was a bit boring. Kikumaru Eiji yawned and said to Inui Sadaharu who was carefully looking at his notes: "Inui, which side do you think will win today?"

"Rikkai University's winning rate is 99.8%, while Shishiraku's is only 0.2%." Inui Sadaharu answered without hesitation.

"Eh~ Is the gap so big? After all, they are all from the top four schools in the country." Kikumaru Eiji was a little surprised.

Of course, he also believed that Rikkai University had a greater chance of winning, but he did not have such a one-sided attitude as Inui Sadaharu.

"The two Kyushu heroes of Shizile are indeed masters at the national level, but the strength of their other players is relatively ordinary. This was clearly exposed when they fought against Hyotei."

"As for Rikkai University, apart from the first-year substitute, the doubles and singles teams of both teams are all strong national-level masters, especially Genichirō Sanada and Maya Yuuki, whose strength is at the top of the national tournament players."

Inui Sadaharu spoke out the intelligence he had summarized one by one. This was his judgment after comparing various information.

In his eyes, the only possibility for Lion Music to win is that the two heroes of Jiuzhou win one game each, and then win any of the remaining games.

But is this possible?

Whether in doubles or singles, Rikkai University is clearly one level higher than Shizile. If Shizile wants to win a game, I'm afraid it will only be possible for the two heroes to join forces in doubles to win a point.

Qian Zhenzhi has a very simple comparison formula here

Rikkai University 3-0 Hyotei

Lion Music 3 to 2 Ice Emperor

So Rikkai University>>Lion Music.

As for why there are two greater than signs, it is because Shishigaki did not defeat Hyotei's minister, while Rikkai University defeated the opponent's minister head-on.

"Tezuka, what do you think?" Fuji Shusuke turned his head and asked Tezuka Kunimitsu who had a calm face.

"Qian is right. Lion Dance can't win."

Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke without looking away, his tone was flat but without a trace of hesitation.

"By the way, up to now in the competition, the only team that can pose a certain threat to Rikkai University this year should be Shitenhoji, which defeated us yesterday." Inui Sadaharu once again brought up a topic.

"The champion from Kansai? Their overall strength is indeed strong." Upon hearing this, Fuji Shusuke also recalled yesterday's game.

When they faced Shitenhoji yesterday, the first four games made them feel like they were playing against Rikkai University in the Kanto Conference.

It is a feeling where you try your best but still feel powerless, while the other person still seems to be able to do it with ease.

Especially the guy that Fuji Shusuke fought against, he could sense that the other party deliberately did not use his full strength, otherwise it would be difficult for him to get four points from the other party.

Now that I think about it, the people from Shitenhoji must have wanted to conserve their strength to deal with their opponent in the finals, Rikkai University.

There was also the opponent's doubles combination. One of the players was a junior high school student who looked like a monk. He just hit a special high-pressure ball and caused their senior in the third year of junior high school who received the ball to break his wrist, forcing him to give up.

"However, originally in my opinion, Shitenhoji's winning rate was 40%. But after fighting with us yesterday, their winning rate has dropped to 20% to 30% in my opinion." Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and analyzed seriously.

"Oh? Is it because of Tezuka?" Fuji Shusuke's mind worked quickly, and he soon understood the hidden meaning in Inui Sadaharu's words.

In yesterday's match, after Shitenhoji's ace lost to Tezuka, the opponent's strength had been thoroughly measured.

The strength of the ace represents the upper limit of a team's individual capabilities.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke lost to Tezuka, which means that his opponent cannot defeat Rikkai University's current number one singles player, Yuuki Maya.

Before the two sides even started fighting, Shitenhoji had already assumed it had lost the singles match.

"That's right. I originally thought that Shitenhoji's trump card should be a singles player with absolutely strong strength, at least as strong as Tezuka."

"But now it seems that it is hard to say whether the opponent can beat the vice-minister of Rikkai University. Once Rikkai University arranges Sanada Genichirō and Yuuki Maya to play in the first two singles matches, Shitenhoji will have some chance unless they drag the match to the fifth game. Otherwise..."

Inui Sadaharu didn't finish his words, but there was no need to continue, as everyone in the Qingxue class understood what he meant.

"Okay everyone, let's stop discussing now, the game is about to begin." Oishi Shuichiro reminded.

Everyone in Qingxue immediately turned their attention to the court below the field.

"The national tournament semi-final match between Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School and Shishiraku Middle School is about to begin."

The broadcast spread throughout the stadium, and the originally noisy venue gradually became quiet.

In the two side passages below, a total of sixteen players from Rikkai University and Shishile appeared simultaneously, and then followed the guidance of the staff, standing opposite each other in the two half-courts and looking at each other.

Compared to the decent image of Rikkai University, the appearance of Shishigaku is quite strange.

If you don’t know, you might think that it was a member of an underage gang in Kansai who was impersonating a contestant to participate in the competition.

There are only two chapters today...

Chapter 95: Third Singles, Sanada vs. Chitose

After the pre-match ceremony, both teams left the field and returned to their preparation areas.

After a short break, the referee followed the procedure and began to announce the first game.

"The third singles match will now begin. Both players are invited to enter the venue."

Inside the Rikkai University team, Sanada heard the voice and picked up his racket and said calmly, "I'm going to go, and I'll be back soon. You guys should take this opportunity to warm up."

"I understand. Don't end it too quickly. Give us more time to warm up." Marui Bunta replied humorously.

Sanada did not respond, but just smiled confidently, exchanged glances with Yuuki Maya, and turned to walk towards the court.

“I don’t know who the opponent will send to play first.”

Kirihara Akaya had already relaxed in his seat. He was still a substitute in today's game and played a minor role.

"There's a 78% chance that it will be one of the two heroes of Kyushu, but it doesn't matter. No matter who it is, Sanada can handle it."

Yanagi Renji said calmly, not taking Shizile seriously in his words.

Yuuki Maya nodded. He could understand why Yanagi Renji had this attitude.

Last year, Lion Music, which had the two giants of Kyushu, couldn't even beat Makuzhiteng, who was shut out by them in the final. No matter how high their overall strength can be, how high can it be?

But he is still very curious, who will be the first player of Lion Music?

Chitose Chisato? Or the "Golden Lion King" Tachibana Jiping?

Without giving Yuuki Maya too much time to guess, Shishiro quickly revealed the answer to him.

I saw a dark-skinned boy with curly hair parted in the middle and an afro hairstyle, walking out of the Lion Music team with a confident look and coming to the stadium.

In the first game, the opponent sent out Chitose Chisato.

"You must be the emperor of Rikkai University, right? We didn't have the chance to fight last year, so I'll need your guidance today."

Chitose Chisato, who still has the bad vibe that is unique to Shizigaku Junior High School, speaks with a strong Kansai accent.

"The reputation of the Kyushu Twin Heroes has spread throughout the country. Let me see if your strength matches this reputation."

Genichirō Sanada said with a stern face and in a flat tone that he hated players like these delinquents and it felt like he was playing tennis with gangsters.

"You will see." Qiansui Qianli smiled slowly and confidently, looking relaxed.

After a brief exchange between the two, they began to guess the sides at the referee's signal.

The result came out soon, and Sanada guessed both sides correctly.

Then, both sides retreated, Sanada stood on the left side of the baseline, and Chitose Chisato retreated to the receiving area on the right to wait for the opponent to serve.

"The match begins, Rikkai Sanada versus Shishiraku Chitose."

"End of set, Sanada serves."

After both sides were ready, the referee immediately announced the start of the game.

"Let me measure your strength."

Sanada lowered his head slightly, and the black brim of his hat blocked his sharp gaze.

He raised his arm and threw the tennis ball high into the air.

咻

When the tennis ball fell to a certain height, the next second, the tennis ball that was still falling suddenly passed by like a gust of wind and instantly landed on Qiansui's side.

A light yellow ball shadow flashed by Qiansui's eyes and passed by him in an instant.

"15 to 0."

Just one ball was enough to make Chitose Chisato, who was originally relaxed, immediately restrain his previous expression and turn it into a serious one.

"So fast."

This was Chitose's first thought. He didn't even see when the tennis ball came over.

As expected of him being the vice-president of Rikkai University and one of the four famous giants in the country, just a serve alone forced him to immediately enter a state of serious concentration.

On the other side, Genichirō Sanada didn't care about the other party's inner thoughts at the moment. After seeing his serve hit an ace, he didn't show any expression fluctuation. After waiting for the referee's instructions, he immediately got into the serving position.

咻

The second serve came just as quickly as the previous one.

This time, Chitose Chisato was not as careless as before. After concentrating his attention, he vaguely saw the trajectory of the tennis ball.

"over there!"

By seeing the path of the ball, you can determine the approximate landing point of the tennis ball, and then find the correct direction of the receiving point.

Chitose Chisato swung his racket in a certain direction, and the next second, a tennis ball appeared on the surface of his racket.

砰

The returned tennis ball returned to Rikkai University's half even faster, but Sanada had already prepared himself by positioning himself at the center line, waiting for the return ball with an unchanging attitude.

"Have you accepted it? You are quite capable."

Seeing his serve being returned, Sanada slightly improved his evaluation of Chitose.

"So, can you catch this ball?"

Sanada immediately raised his racket again and swung at the return ball.

The arm was like a phantom, and in just a frame of time, the tennis ball immediately turned into a gust of wind and flew back.

The tennis ball hit Chitose Chisato's backcourt hard and then flew out of bounds.

"30 to 0."

After losing points quickly once again, Chitose Chisato was stunned again. He looked back at the tennis ball outside the court, and seemed to be feeling some turmoil in his heart.

However, no matter what Chitose Chisato is thinking at this moment, it has nothing to do with Genichirō Sanada.

He still had a calm expression as he made the serving gesture, preparing to serve the third ball.

As fast as the wind
