Prince of Tennis: A new Hextech Crafting System is refreshed every week.

When the referee's slightly hoarse voice rang out in the stadium.

The entire hall was silent.

It was too tragic...

Seeing Hiyoshi Wakasa lying face up on the ground, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Although professional tennis matches are extremely brutal, and some professional players are carried off the court, suffer severe injuries, or even have their tennis careers ended, the reality is that professional players are often forced to leave the court due to injuries.

But that's a professional competition.

This is just a junior high school level tournament for newcomers; these kids are just getting started in tennis.

However, this silence only lasted for a short while, and soon cheers erupted in the venue for Kirihara Akaya.

Because this is Japan.

Some people may pity Hiyoshi Waka, feeling that Kirihara Akaya's methods were too cruel and unscrupulous, but more people will be willing to stand on the side of the winner and offer their warmest applause and cheers to the victor.

In their eyes, Kirihara Akaya's violent fighting style is a manifestation of strength.

As they watched the tennis ball hit Hiyoshi's body again and again, these people felt fear, but their adrenaline also surged, their faces flushed, and the most primal violence brought the strongest hormonal stimulation.

In this rookie tournament, only Kirihara from Rikkai University made it to the quarterfinals.

But after this match.

In the minds of the schools in the Kanto region, Rikkai University's threat level has not decreased; on the contrary, they have all included Kirihara Akaya in the list of schools that should not be provoked.

In the stands.

After watching the entire match, Tachibana Kippei had mixed feelings. Kirihara's playing style reminded him of his past self.

Brutal, wild, ruthless...

Prioritizing victory and tearing opponents apart like a beast, Kippei Tachibana had always played with this belief until even Chitose was destroyed by his tennis, at which point he finally realized his mistake.

Violent tennis.

After destroying the opponent, one will inevitably destroy oneself along with them one day...

Kippei's gaze fell on Kirihara, whose eyes were gradually losing their color. Not to mention, this kid couldn't control the violence in his heart.

He didn't know what Rikkai was thinking.

If we let him run wild like this, it won't be long before he causes problems.

At this moment, a heavy layer of dark clouds covered the Hyotei camp.

Seeing Hiyoshi Wakashi being carried off the field, covered in bruises, Mukahi Gakuto, Taki Oginosuke, and the others were filled with rage. If it weren't for Atobe holding them back, they might have already rushed onto the field to fight.

"After the team doctor treats him, Hiyoshi will be sent directly to the group's hospital for a full examination. The subsequent medical expenses will be borne by the Atobe Group."

Atobe remained calm, demonstrating the restraint and judgment expected of the captain of Hyotei, and did not show the same resentment at losing as the others.

The world of tennis is cruel; a win is a win, and a loss is a loss.

There aren't that many "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts".

However, the feud between Hyotei and Rikkai has now been established.

......

Shortly afterward, the competition organizers announced the final results.

The final of this Kanto region autumn rookie tournament will be between Kitahara Akira from Yamabuki Junior High School and Kirihara Akaya from Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

The match will begin in one hour.

During this time, both players can try to recover their strength, discuss tactics, and adjust their condition, while the audience needs to follow the instructions to move to the largest central hall in the tennis park.

Ariake Tennis Stadium.

Built for a large-scale event held in Japan, the venue is very large and can accommodate about 10000 spectators. It is equipped with a retractable roof.

Given the standards of the rookie tournament, even the finals wouldn't qualify for the use of this venue. However, this year marks the first time that an individual tournament format has been implemented, which will determine the true number one rookie in the Kanto region.

In order to increase the prestige of the Kanto Newcomer King title, the tournament organizers made an exception and applied for the right to use the Ariake Tennis Arena.

......

The competition started on time at 3:30 p.m.

"Now, the finals of this Autumn Rookie Competition will begin."

"Akira Kitahara of Yamabuki Junior High School in Tokyo will face Akaya Kirihara of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School in Kanagawa."

As soon as the announcement from the Central Arena ended, deafening shouts and cheers erupted from the surrounding stands.

"Yamabuki will win!"... "Victory belongs to Kitahara Akira!"...

......

"Victory! Rikkai!"... "Let's go! Let's go Rikkai!"...

......

The rhythmic cheers from the two teams' supporters rose and fell, as if the roof of the entire center arena was about to be lifted off by the sound waves.

"That's an exaggeration!"

Morimura felt a burning pain in his throat; his voice was hoarse from shouting, but he still couldn't outshone Rikkai's cheering squad. As expected of the national champions, their team chants were of national caliber.

An idea suddenly popped into his head.

After this competition ends, he will go to the school to recruit more members and build a larger cheering squad for Yamabuki Junior High School.

"The match is about to begin. Please bring your players to the stage."

As the announcement came on, all the spectators outside the stadium suddenly fell silent, and two figures walked onto the field from their respective tunnels.

"Is this Kirihara Akaya?"

"I heard that Hiyoshi Wakashi of Hyotei was beaten up by him and sent to the hospital..."

As Inui Sadaharu looked at Kirihara Akaya walking onto the stage, he found it hard to associate the man with the rumored violent elements.

With a slightly childlike appearance, bright eyes, and an innocent expression, he even seemed a bit naive.

If it hadn't happened just an hour earlier.

He couldn't believe that such an innocent-looking person could fight so brutally.

The two approached the net.

Looking at Kirihara Akaya across from him, Kitahara Akira could still hear the words of advice from his seniors echoing in his ears.

Kentaro Minami: "That guy will do anything to win, so you'd better be careful during the match!"

Dongfang Yamei: "If you can't hold on, don't force it. Yamabuki has already done enough to get this far."

Shinto Yone Inakichi: "Don't listen to their pessimistic talk. If that kid dares to use underhanded tactics, just blast him with your serve!"

Sengoku Kiyosumi: "Fight hard! I believe in you."

......

As Kitahara Akira sized up Kirihara Akaya, Kirihara Akaya was also sizing him up.

Pretty boy, not bad looking at all!

But he remembered that Sanada had specifically told him this before he went on stage.

"Don't be careless in this match; your opponent may be different from any of the opponents you've faced before."

This was the first time Sanada had ever said something like that.

only......

He didn't understand.

Although Kitahara Akira had performed well before, Niou-senpai gave him a rare "very good strength" evaluation after watching his opponent's semi-final performance.

However, based on the description...

At most, it's just average Kanto-level quality.

His strength and potential are undeniable, but that doesn't warrant Vice-Captain Sanada being so cautious. Besides, he didn't even watch the semi-finals, so why does he seem to know Kitahara Akira so well?

Kirihara Akaya was filled with doubt.

Upon meeting Kitahara Akira, his first words were: "Do you know Vice-Captain Sanada?"
