The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 137 The First Round Ends

Meanwhile, Inoue Morinori, who was late due to some unavoidable matters, took a picture of the scoreboard of Hyotei vs. Seigaku after five rounds: a uniform 6-0. Then he took another picture of the stark contrast in the state of Akutsu Jin and Yamato Yudai after the singles match.

Well, Mamoru Inoue checked his results on the camera. Well, these two photos were better than nothing, since they lacked the most exciting moments of the players' high spirits.

But it's okay, Hyotei still has three games today, so he still has a chance to capture some exciting moments.

and----

Inoue Mamoru's eyes gleamed with the sharp wit of a seasoned journalist and writer. If this scoreboard photo were to be cut together with the final scoreboard photos of the other three matches, the four identical scoreboards showing clean sheets would be absolutely stunning.

Inoue Mamoru was happily making plans when his gaze swept over the desolate area of ​​Seishun Academy, and a complex emotion suddenly welled up uncontrollably.

Seishun Academy, not only did a horrific assault occur, but they were also eliminated in the first round of the tournament this year. They're really going downhill.

Even setting aside this year, Seishun Academy's development over the past few years has actually been lackluster.

Inoue Mamoru shook his head inwardly, feeling that Seishun Academy was simply unworthy of bearing the supreme honor of being the cradle of tennis for senior Nanjiro.

Especially after what happened this year, the very existence of Seigaku seems to have tarnished Nanjiro-senpai's perfect reputation.

Not far away, under the shade of a tree, Guan Yuechu, with short black hair and a smile on her face, covered her face with her hand, revealing only two eyes that shone with a dark light.

Hyotei is very strong, but he has already collected data on the few players who have appeared so far. If St. Rudolph were to encounter Hyotei, they wouldn't be without a chance.

Over there, after the match against Seigaku ended, Hyotei's opponent for the second round was quickly revealed: a random junior high school, Chihaya Castle Academy.

Their level was at the bottom of the second tier, barely higher than the current Seigaku, but it didn't mean much, because in front of Hyotei, an aircraft carrier, they were as insignificant as a bamboo raft.

Therefore, the result of the match was a foregone conclusion, and the process was so quick that it was like going through the motions.

Hyotei dominated the match, winning 3-0 with a clean sweep. The score of each set remained firmly locked at the despairing number of "6-0".

"Hyotei is too strong."

"I can't even imagine how desperate it must be to be their opponent."

"Luckily, I was just a spectator."

"+10086."

Do you think Hyotei will continue to shut out everyone like this?

"Hmm, it's hard to say. Although Hyotei is very strong, I feel that Ginhua, St. Rudolph, and Yamabuki, these other veteran goalkeepers from Tokyo, are also quite strong. What if they have some tricks up their sleeves? It's all uncertain."

"That's true. Besides, didn't they say that the genius from Seigaku who got beaten up and his teammates all joined Yamabuki?"

"Even though that genius went to Germany to treat his injuries, his companions shouldn't be too weak either, right?"

"Speaking of which, Coach Banda is much better. Compared to him, that Coach Ryuzaki from Seigaku is really... what a piece of trash!"

'

,

In short, the morning matches of the first day of the competition have all concluded, and the afternoon matches will continue at 2 PM.

Not long after the second round of matches ended, before the lunch break, the Hyotei team learned that their opponent in the third round was still an ordinary junior high school: Aozoradai Academy. Wouldn't it be easy to beat them?

This idea spontaneously arose in everyone's mind (except for Kamiya).

So they were incredibly relaxed during that lunch break.

As for Kamiya Yo?

He stated that the word "nervous" never existed in his vocabulary and would never appear there.

After all, even this year, their team is the strongest in the tournament besides Hyotei, and the strongest player on the regular team of Yamabuki Middle School is Fuji Syusuke, so he can beat him easily.

As for why it wasn't Tatekazu Kunimitsu? He's currently receiving treatment for his arm at an orthopedic hospital in Germany, and it's highly unlikely he'll appear before the national tournament.

Moreover, given Hyotei's current overall strength, they should easily win against Yamabuki.

At 2:05 PM, the match between Hyotei Academy and Aozoradai Academy began precisely on time with the referee's clear commands.

The process is self-explanatory, and the result was as expected.

Hyotei's regular team, like a sophisticated war machine, won 3-0, and then 6-0 in three sets, easily defeating Aozoradai Academy.

Soon after, as the setting sun began to paint the sky with a faint orange hue, the final match of the first round of the tournament commenced:

Hyotei Academy vs. Kamata Middle School.

This was also a battle where the two sides were vastly unequal in strength, and the outcome of the match was already predetermined before it even began.

Hyotei's players displayed overwhelming strength, delivering an unparalleled three-set victory.

With this, Hyotei Academy's four matches in the first round of the Metropolitan Tournament have all concluded, and Hyotei has achieved a terrifying record of winning all four matches without losing a single set, game, or point.

Hyotei's regular players, like an unstoppable blue and white torrent, concluded their first round of the Metropolitan Tournament in the most perfect and domineering manner.

"Hmm, well done." Taro glanced at the faces of all the members who participated in the battle today, nodded, and although his face did not show it, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"But this is only the first round; there are still the semi-finals and the finals to come, so keep up the good work!"

"Yes!" a loud reply rang out.

Soon, the bracket for the semifinals next week was posted on the bulletin board by the organizers, and each coach of the school teams that advanced to the semifinals received a copy. It read:

Hyotei Academy vs. St. Rudolf Academy Ginka Middle School vs. Yamabuki Middle School.

The winners of these two matches will compete for the championship title of the Metropolitan Tournament in the finals a week later. St. Rudolph, Atobe Keigo looked at the four large characters on the tournament schedule, which were listed alongside Hyotei's. A deep light flashed in his dark blue eyes. According to the information, this was a church-run middle school that had only established its tennis club three years ago. Moreover, this school had quickly reformed itself after Hyotei, Rikkai, and Makinofuji. Furthermore, St. Rudolph was one of only two schools in Tokyo where the captain of the tennis club was a first-year student. The other one was Hyotei.

As for Yamabuki, a long-established tennis powerhouse, although they have made reforms after introducing members who were originally from Seigaku's tennis club, the club captain is still the original third-year student.
