He knew that Sanada couldn't return his Tannhäuser serve!
As expected, the ball barely bounced after landing, and even though Sanada was prepared, it was still in vain.
Serve and score!
A beautiful start! Atobe's Tannhäuser serves like he never gets tired, one after another, so accurate and precise. He wins the point on his serve!
When it was Rikkai's turn to serve, Atobe smiled arrogantly, quietly waiting for his opportunity to arise, ready to pounce fiercely once it came his way.
Of course, this is doubles.
The reason for pairing Takiginosuke with Atobe is that although Takiginosuke's individual strength is not particularly strong, he knows Atobe the best.
Or rather, he admired Atobe.
Because he observed Atobe the most, Takioshi Oginosuke could make a judgment at the same time whenever Atobe made any move.
In this situation, Atobe doesn't need to cooperate at all; he just needs to do what he wants, and Takiginosuke will try his best to keep up.
This time, Atobe ultimately failed to completely overwhelm Sanada, and the score was 6-3.
Because Niou Masaharu suddenly used a rudimentary form of Phantom during the match, the Phantom transformed into Atobe, causing them some trouble.
"That phantom is interesting."
After winning the match, Atobe didn't forget to praise the special ability of Niou Masaharu's phantom.
It was as if he had suddenly become him. Although he only managed to imitate an incomplete version of Tannhäuser's serve and the Waltz of Destruction, it was still quite impressive to be able to do so.
With such growth, Atobe felt he had to commend Niou's efforts.
"Alright, doubles one, it's our turn."
Mukahi Gakuto picked up his racket, swung his arm, and walked onto the court.
Behind him, this time it wasn't the familiar Yuushi Oshitari, but Sasuke.
Even though there was a match list written on the side, the Rikkai members were still almost speechless when they saw that Sasuke was going to play in a doubles match.
"Sasuke, you guys have really gone too far..."
Seiichi Yukimura sat on the coach's bench, shaking his head with a sad expression, utterly speechless at the order of the matches.
"Isn't this interesting?"
Sasuke raised an eyebrow and looked at the sad-looking Renji Yanagi and Bunta Marui. They were Rikkai's doubles pair.
"If I said it was boring, would Sasuke let Gakuto Mukahi serve?"
Renji Yanagi has now completely forgotten about his tennis statistics; he simply can't compete with this opponent.
It's not that he doesn't know the data, but that even if he knew more, even if Sasuke told him the speed and angle of the serve, he still wouldn't be able to receive it!
"No."
Sasuke shook his head, held his racket upright, and said, "It's time to begin."
Next, Sasuke won the service game and, under the desperate gazes of Renji Yanagi and Bunta Marui, scored directly with his super-fast serve.
There was no special skill involved; he was simply fast enough that the two opponents didn't have time to react before the ball appeared behind them.
Even the referee seemed a bit slow to react.
"So slow..."
Sasuke served so fast it was almost invisible, and while he was still teasing his opponent for being too slow, he caught the ball and hit it back with an incredibly fast straight ball.
Serving, receiving, changing sides, game after game, not only Rikkai University, but even the referees have become numb.
Although we still have to watch the replay according to the rules, that's just going through the motions now.
Hyotei wins this game, score 6-0!
A resounding victory, as expected; Gakuto Mukahi merely coasted along except for his service games.
As for Renji Yanagi and Bunta Marui on the opposite side, they were actually just coasting along. This match was the most unexpected and boring one in the Kanto Tournament so far.
"Sasuke's speed is really fast..."
As Yukimura Seiichi watched Rikkai lose two games in a row, his smile turned bitter.
It seems he has no chance to play anymore.
In the singles match, it was Fukuyama, a third-year student from Rikkai University, against Yuushi Oshitari from Hyotei University.
Yuushi Oshitari is a player with so many skills that it's a headache to watch out for, and you never know what kind of combination of moves he might suddenly unleash.
"I've been teaching a lot lately, and things have gotten a bit chaotic in the fights. It seems I need to go back and give Oshitari some more special training."
Sasuke sat on the coach's bench, expressing his dissatisfaction with Oshitari's performance. Meanwhile, on the court, Oshitari's tennis skills were so impressive that he completely overwhelmed Fukuyama on the other side.
Even after the match ended, the Rikkai players still looked at Yuushi Oshitari with blank stares.
How did this guy manage to play such a game?
Hyotei wins the Kanto Tournament Grand Final!
With cheers erupting, the Kanto Tournament of that year came to a close.
The champion was Hyotei, and the runner-up was Rikkai.
Although there will always be people who are sad because of the loss, the fact is what it is, and now we must continue to work hard for the national competition.
Chapter 89 National Tournament: Our Future Opponents
"With 24 schools, Hyotei will have to play a total of four matches..."
Sasuke sat in the music room, his fingertips dancing across the piano keys.
The draw for the national tournament is over; Atobe and Oshitari just gave him a match schedule.
They had all gone to continue training with the other regulars, but Sasuke remained here, looking at the list of 32 schools that had replaced the sheet music, and continuing to play the piece he hadn't finished earlier.
"Uncle, you can leave the competition roster to me again. The championship is just around the corner."
Sasuke heard the music room door open and knew who it was without turning around.
I need to work hard for the national competition!
"Whatever you say, you'll be playing this time, right?"
Sakaki Taro closed the door, went to sit on the sofa, and listened to the confidence Sasuke conveyed in the piano music. He knew that the kid's piano skills were already good enough.
Sure enough, there's nothing this kid can't learn.
As for the tennis club's matches...
His role as coach is simply to provide support when needed; everything else is left to the children.
"Of course we'll have to play. According to the match roster, we need the winners from Black Mountain and Shishiraku to compete, then it should be Makinofuji, followed by Shitenhoji, and finally Rikkai..."
Sasuke looked at the list of 24 middle schools. Each region's seeded team could play one less game than the regular team.
Sasuke's intuition told him that these were the schools that were their rivals.
"Shishiraku Middle School in Kyushu has produced two supposedly outstanding first-year students this year, earning them the title of 'Kyushu's Two Heroes'..."
Although Sakaki Taro has given the tennis club more autonomy to develop on its own, he will still make sure to get the information he needs in this area.
Regarding the upcoming rival schools, although he didn't predict as directly as Sasuke, he was roughly in the same direction, except that he prepared information on several more schools.
"May the tangerines bring peace and prosperity for a thousand years, and may two lions..."
Sasuke naturally knew about those two people.
However, now that they've encountered them, even a lion with its mane bristling has to transform into a docile big cat.
"Let me know if you need anything, and I'll come tomorrow."
Sakaki Taro thought about it carefully and realized that he had only been there once at the very beginning.
I'll go keep an eye on the whole thing tomorrow and see how these young guys are doing.
"Uncle, have someone bring some cakes over tomorrow. Cilang and Yueren like them, and they can also replenish their energy."
Sasuke took his hands off the piano keys; it was time for him to go check on the tennis club.
As for what his uncle can do to help...
There really isn't one right now.
Take some cake with you; consider it a reward for those guys tomorrow.
"I'll have someone prepare everything, including lunch, and then send it over. You just need to keep playing the game."
Sakaki Taro was unsure whether to feel gratified or helpless about his role as a coach being relegated to the support staff.
But he was also well aware of how much Sasuke was looking forward to winning the championship, so he just did what he could do and what wouldn't get in the way.
Training proceeded as usual that day. Sasuke returned home in the evening and received a call from Yukimura after dinner.
"We'll be waiting for you in the finals."
Sasuke listened to Yukimura talk about who their predicted opponents were, and after chatting for a while, the two finally agreed to meet in the finals.
A month ago, after the Kanto Tournament ended, both Hyotei and Rikkai held their summer festivals.
The two schools visited each other's performances, and the team members who got along well went out to play together, and of course, they also teased each other about their poor performances.
However, no further training camps were held during this period.
Now, they are finally going to meet on the field once again.
After resting for a night, Sasuke got up early the next morning, spent an hour in the underground training room, and then had breakfast before having his driver take him to the venue.
"Sasuke, weren't you with the rest of Hyotei?"
Yukimura Seiichi and his group had just arrived at the venue. As they got out of their car, they saw Sasuke getting out of a luxury private car.
Although everyone knew Sasuke's identity, this was the first time they had ever seen him arrive in such a luxurious car with bodyguards and drivers.
"I came from home. Atobe and the others should be here soon."
Sasuke, carrying a tennis bag with his jacket hanging on the bag, stood at the entrance waiting for the Hyotei members to arrive.
Will Sasuke play the entire day?
