Because he couldn't fit into the group, this newly joined third-year student was placed in the substitute position for this competition.
Eight people arrived at court number three. The first to go on court were Shinobu and Mukahi. The two warmed up by stretching, and then huddled together to discuss their plan in a mysterious manner.
Once the referees took their seats, the match officially began.
When Fudomine's second doubles player came on, seeing that the players on the court were Oshitari and Mukahi, they were about to start their verbal attack again.
However, no one gave them a chance. The referee also seemed to dislike the Fudomine team, urging them to start before they could even speak.
"I've never seen Shinobu this precise during training. It seems that he can unleash his potential when he's angry!"
As Shishido watched the match begin, he immediately made it impossible for the opponent to touch the ball, and he wondered if this was the same person they usually trained with.
When did you learn to serve like that? You've been keeping it a secret all this time...
"The harder you train, the more you'll see. Shishido, be careful. If you lose points because of me, everyone will have to train even harder, and then you'll be in trouble..."
Taki Oginosuke reached out and patted Shishido Ryo on the shoulder in a strange tone.
Now that Shinobu is performing well, those who follow him need to work even harder.
Especially Shishido and him, their doubles is completely uncoordinated, but even so, they must achieve a complete victory.
"You bastard, you're the one who needs to watch out later. If you dare to make a mistake, I'll personally teach you a lesson!"
Ryo Shishido suddenly felt a pang of guilt; he was genuinely a little ashamed.
However, they will absolutely not lose any points, not a single one!
To be precise, we cannot afford to lose a single ball!
Soon, in the first match, Yuushi Oshitari and Gakuto Mukahi gave their opponents a complete 0 points, not even allowing them to score a single point.
When Oshitari and Gakuto left the arena, they tacitly boasted to Shishido and Taki, who were playing in the next match, about this result.
"Now it's our turn!"
Ryo Shishido and Oginosuke Taki exchanged a glance. They both disliked each other, but this time they had to cooperate properly.
After they came on, the two performed unexpectedly well, partly because Fudomine was really weak at that time.
After winning both doubles matches perfectly, Fudomine became a bit agitated.
They didn't expect the first-year students at Hyotei to be so ruthless; they said they wouldn't be able to score a single point, and they actually did.
When Jiro entered the singles match, the players on Fudomine's side were already glaring at him with murderous intent.
Then...
I've been taught a lesson again.
Jiro Akutagawa trained the least, spending most of his time sleeping, yet he still managed to maintain his position in singles, so his strength and talent are beyond question.
"For the first time, I feel that playing all five games is a good thing."
Keigo Atobe stood up with his racket in hand. He was the second singles player today, and it was his turn to go up on the court and teach this arrogant trash a lesson.
"Atobe, I haven't lost a single point!"
Cilang returned with a happy expression.
Although he found the match uninteresting, his initial goal was to teach his opponent a lesson, so he still won the match as he wanted.
"That's right, now it's up to me!"
Atobe raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and threw his coat into the arms of the person behind him.
"Atobe..."
With a sorrowful expression, Yuushi Oshitari urged Atobe to go on stage.
His position doesn't seem to be very good; if he's not careful, he'll end up being the one fetching this guy's clothes.
However, there shouldn't be any problems with the upcoming matches.
When Atobe came on, he gave his opponent no chance to breathe, whether it was serving or returning the ball.
When it was Sasuke's turn to compete in the one-on-one match, the club leader from Fudomine, who had been leading the commotion, unexpectedly raised his hand and conceded defeat after being glanced at by Sasuke.
"Give up? How could that guy give up? Sasuke, this is your first official match..."
When Mukahi Gakuto saw his opponent admit defeat, he jumped up and down in anger.
In the last qualifiers, Sasuke went to the U17 team and didn't participate at all.
This time I finally got to play, but the opponent conceded defeat.
In the afternoon match, Sasuke was again fighting one-on-one; back then, it would only take three matches to finish the game...
At this rate, when will Sasuke finally get to play a real match?
"In the first match of the tournament, Hyotei faced Fudomine, and Hyotei won 5-0!"
The referee seemed quite satisfied with the result, and after announcing the score, the match finally came to an end.
During the final handshake, only one department head remained from Fudomine; the rest of the group slipped away early.
Even so, the fact that Fudomine was thoroughly defeated by Hyotei's first-year regulars with a perfect 0 points still spread throughout the Metropolitan Tournament.
There were some subsequent ranking matches in the loser's bracket, but the players from Fudomine never appeared again, and their subsequent match records were marked with a series of forfeit records.
Chapter 69 The Current Situation of Qingxue
"It's delicious... Atobe, don't glare at me. I only ate a small piece; Jiro ate the rest!"
During lunch, Mukahi Gakuto grabbed a piece of cake, but when he tried to get a second one, he found that it was all gone.
Seeing Atobe's dangerous gaze fixed on his outstretched hand, he quickly emphasized that he actually ate very little, and that it was Jiro who ate the most!
"Could you guys please be a little more mindful of your image? Lots of people are watching..."
Yuushi Oshitari took off his glasses and wiped them. His partner was actually quite good, but sometimes he was too noisy, especially when he was eating cake with Jiro.
"Let them look if they want, it doesn't matter to them..."
Mukahi Gakuto glared at Shinobu with displeasure. Even if they stayed quietly, those people would still look over.
The news that Fudomine had been completely destroyed spread throughout the entire competition area within a morning. Regardless of whether they were their next opponent, the looks they received now were not friendly.
"Our next opponent is Akiyama Academy. This time, the doubles match is between Jiro and Taki. You two need to pay attention to your teamwork. Shishido, you need to finish the match in singles third place..."
Atobe held up the match lineup and briefly explained the situation to them.
This tournament doesn't actually require all the regular players to participate, but because Sasuke previously expressed his strong dislike for Fudomine, they made extra preparations.
Fudomine has already completely dominated the first match, and they need to maintain that dominance in the next one.
"Someone's coming. Is it Fuji, Sasuke? Is he here to see you?"
With no cake left, Mukahi Gakuto glanced around and spotted three people walking towards him.
The blue and white tracksuits belonged to a school I'd seen at the opening ceremony that morning.
"They must be looking for me."
Sasuke finished his juice, stood up, and walked towards the Seigaku members.
"Sasuke, long time no see. I heard that your Hyotei team even made someone cry this time. You're really ruthless."
As Fuji Syusuke watched Sasuke approach, his eyes, which had been narrowed, opened, revealing a wicked glint in his light blue eyes that he had never tried to conceal.
Their match this morning was a bit tough. Although they had the strong Tezuka Kunimitsu and him, the other regular players still need to improve.
After a hard-fought match, they won with a score of 3:2.
Just as I was resting and getting ready for lunch, I heard about Hyotei vs. Fudomine, a match that was a complete stomp on a noob.
After a quick lunch, Fuji dragged Tezuka out to look for someone, and Inui Sadaharu, who was always carrying a notebook, also came along.
"I didn't see them cry, so they're just a little traumatized. What about you guys? Who are you playing against this afternoon?"
Sasuke gestured for them to sit down on the benches in the rest area as well, since they were already here, they might as well get to know each other.
The future protagonist team, their formidable enemies besides Rikkai University.
However, there's probably not much hope for this year or next, since Seigaku's overall strength is still not good.
Since Tezuka faked an arm injury, four of Seigaku's starting positions have been taken by first-year students.
Tezuka Kunimitsu was excellent, that much is undeniable.
However, his views and actions on certain matters are always completely different from those of Sasuke, Atobe, or even Yukimura and Sanada.
In the current Seigaku tennis club, the captain is still Yuta Yamato, while Kunimitsu Tezuka is only the vice-captain.
Shusuke Fuji, Sadaharu Inui, and Shuichiro Oishi, who teamed up with Yuta Yamato in doubles, were the starters.
The reason why first-year students were allowed to participate in the regular selection was because Tezuka Kunimitsu gave the coach the X-rays taken after his injury, and that was the compromise made by the coach.
Sanada complained to Sasuke about this matter several times, saying that someone was really incompetent in handling things.
Yukimura would also add fuel to the fire with a smile, which made Sanada so angry that he slammed his fist on the table several times.
Even if Sanada was angry, it was useless, because Tezuka Kunimitsu's choices and actions had nothing to do with them.
"It's a match against Tanaka. Seigaku will definitely not lose. According to this ranking, Seigaku and Hyotei will meet in the semifinals."
Fuji Syusuke's gaze swept over the Hyotei regulars. They were all first-year students, and the relaxed atmosphere here was truly enviable.
However, he believes that Seigaku will not lose.
"Then you guys better keep up the good work!"
Atobe handed Sasuke a drink, then sat down and looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu, a little curious about him.
Although he only participated in the training camp with Rikkai University once, he later played tennis with Yukimura and Sanada privately, so he had heard some things about the person Sanada often complained about.
A tennis prodigy, yet bound by the school coach's rules, despite possessing the greatest talent, he ends up as only a vice-captain.
He strongly agreed with what Sanada said: "The strong should stand at the peak!"
Although Sasuke is not the captain of the Hyotei Tennis Club, his influence and status within Hyotei are absolutely equivalent to those of a coach.
"We will keep winning!"
Tezuka Kunimitsu sensed Atobe's gaze and looked over curiously.
