"Stop bullying that kid. Even if you really want to send him to his death, please find someone else. Akaya is strong enough to handle a fight on his own."

Sasuke could tell from Yukimura's expression that he was up to something again.

This guy is completely free of pressure and is having a blast.

What is joyful tennis? Yukimura Seiichi's current tennis is it.

Moreover, he was even happier than Ryoma Echizen, because his strength was far superior to that kid Ryoma's.

It's not just playing tennis that's fun; playing pranks on others is even more fun...

A bratty kid isn't scary; what's scary is a bratty kid who not only has education but also the ability to absolutely crush everyone else.

Chapter 121 The Kanto Tournament: The Dilemma of Shiron Shonan

The first day of the Kanto Tournament.

"Today's match is against Jōsei Shonan. Will Coach Hanamura still try to poach our players...?"

Yue Ren walked down the road with his racket in his arms, talking about their opponent in their first match.

They would encounter Josei Shonan every year, and every time they defeated Josei Shonan's players, they would face an invitation from Coach Hanamura.

Besides always stopping Sasuke with that weird auntie smile, she would also sized them all up.

That look...

In short, it is absolutely inappropriate for them to appear in front of these teenagers.

"Maybe, just ignore it. Today's competition still has to go to five games. What you need to do is to get all the points perfectly. No one can lose, otherwise the weird aunt will say that you are not strong enough."

Zuo Shu held the match roster in his hand. He wouldn't be playing today, but because his uncle had flown to England again, he needed to keep an eye on these matches from the coaching bench.

"Why does this weird auntie even exist? If I had to pick the team I hate playing against the most, Jousei Shonan would definitely be number one..."

Jiro also disliked Shonan Jōsei. Their players were like machines, and the coach even wanted to poach them and turn them into machines too.

"Since we hate them, we'll just crush them in the competition!"

Hiyoshi didn't participate in the game against Shonan last year, so he didn't know how enthusiastic Coach Hanamura was when he invited people.

Looking at the expressions of his seniors, he couldn't understand what was so troubling about.

“A junior just brought me a magazine. Take a look, this one by Wakatohiro seems interesting.”

When they arrived at the rest area, Shinobu brought over several copies of the same sports magazine.

This matter originally had nothing to do with them, but a member of the tennis club saw it and showed it to them.

"This Wakato Hiroshi... what he said does seem to make some sense!"

Ryo Shishido flipped to the article and, after reading Hiroshi Wakato's evaluation of Seigaku, burst out laughing.

Although they had complained about it before, Sasuke said that they should allow the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) behavior during their chuunibyou phase, so everyone stopped caring about it afterward.

Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Wakato would say this during a reporter's interview, and even more arrogantly express his desire to crush Seigaku.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky in the draw and didn't get matched against Seigaku; instead, they ended up in Hyotei's group.

"Alright, everyone has a bit of a chuunibyou (delusional) phase..."

Shinobu raised his hand to his forehead. He just wanted everyone to see and remember this Wakato Hiroshi, who claimed to know all the ball skills of Seigaku, not to make them laugh.

"If Hirohiro is the third singles player, then our third singles player is... Oshitari?"

Yue Ren took out their registration forms, looked through the order of appearance, and then realized that he didn't have a chance to play today.

The second doubles pair is Takio Oginosuke and Kabaji.

The doubles pair is Shishido and Ootori.

The third singles player is Yuushi Oshitari.

The second singles player is Jiro Akutagawa.

The one-on-one fight is against Atobe Keigo.

He was left out of the game today...

"You rest today. Let Taki and Kaba go up and have some fun. You can go up next time."

Sasuke looked at Gakuto, whose eyes were filled with grievance, and told him the reason for this adjustment.

Because the number of matches is limited, and they usually only need to play three matches, the players who can play have to be arranged separately.

"Alright, Hiyoshi will cheer for everyone with me. I heard that Shonan Josei has a cheerleading squad this year, and we absolutely cannot lose in terms of cheerleading spirit!"

Seeing that Hiyoshi Waka had also been benched, Gakuto went over and grabbed him, wanting to join the cheerleading squad.

"I don't want to..."

Hiyoshi stared wide-eyed. He was content to just watch the game from here; there was no need for him to join any cheerleading squad.

Unfortunately, he couldn't use his fighting skills against Yue Ren, so he was still taken away.

"Those two guys..."

Atobe watched as Hiyoshi was helplessly dragged away, his eyebrows twitched, and he turned away with a look of disgust, no longer looking at them.

Does a cheerleading contest really require both of them to join in to win?

Is it because they look down on Atobe's status at Hyotei?

"The match is about to begin, doubles two get ready."

Sasuke didn't care whether they were there as cheerleaders or not; it was time for the match to begin.

After settling into his seat on the coach's bench, Sasuke ignored Hanamura Aoi, who was only a short distance away; that woman was flirting with him again...

No wonder some guys call her a weird auntie. Making such an expression at a group of teenagers, doesn't she think that this is actually harassment?

"Hyotei Academy vs. Josei Shonan, please step up, doubles player!"

The referees and recorders are in place, and it's time for the contestants to take the stage.

Kabaji and Taki Oginosuke take the stage, facing off against the twin duo from Shonan Jōsei.

"Sasuke, look at those twins over there. They seem to be deliberately provoking us..."

After the match started, Yue Ren ran to the railing behind Sasuke, expressing his strong dissatisfaction with the Shonan team.

However, in Yue Ren's hands was a glass of freshly squeezed juice that had just been delivered.

"Don't get excited. Kabaji and Taki, their personalities are nothing to worry about."

Sasuke reached out towards Gakuto and caught the cup that Gakuto tossed to him, without spilling a single drop of juice.

Sipping his juice, Sasuke watched the twins across from him provoke him, but ultimately had to back down under the look of disbelief from the two Hyotei members.

Kabaji was probably completely unaware of the other party's provocation, while Taki...

Although Takiginosuke lacked natural talent, his calmness and meticulousness were well-known at Hyotei.

It's really hard to make him lose control of his emotions. Last year during the national tournament, even Shitenhoji, who is good at making jokes, couldn't succeed, let alone Shitenhoji, who has never made it to the national tournament.

"Hyotei scores!"

The referee's voice rang out again and again, and without exception, Hyotei kept scoring.

Serve to score, return to score...

The training methods and team combinations of Shonan's team were completely meaningless against Hyotei's doubles pair, who were not actually doubles.

Doubles requires teamwork, but if you are strong enough, you can still win even without good teamwork.

The current Kabaji and Taki match presents a doubles game that lacks coordination but is enough to make one despair.

The person Kabaji Takahiro is imitating today is Akutagawa Jiro.

Therefore, he can play the entire game by himself, while Takiginosuke only needs to play a support role.

Hyotei wins this game, score 6-0!

"1-0 in total score!"

Hyotei won the doubles match in just ten minutes, a speed that was astonishing.

Meanwhile, Aoi Hanamura, the coach of Shonan Jōseki, fixed her eyes on Kabaji again, her gaze shifting...

Unfortunately, her flirtatious glances were wasted again.

Kabaji completely ignored him and was unaware that he was being watched by the opposing coach.

Chapter 122 The Showdown Before the Semifinals of the Kanto Tournament

"The doubles match begins!"

The doubles match begins.

The height difference between the first doubles pair from Shonan Loong is quite significant, but...

For Hyotei, such opponents are becoming increasingly insignificant.

After Coach Huacun's smiles became increasingly rare, Hyotei won the doubles match, followed by three dominant singles matches.

"Coach Huacun, it has been proven that our training model is still superior."

When Sasuke was stopped by Hanamura Aoi again after the match, he told her very bluntly that she really didn't need to send any more invitations.

Moreover, she's already in the third year of junior high school. From the first year of junior high until now, she's really patiently come to ask again and again.

"Sakaki Sasuke, they are all outstanding talents. If I were to train them, they would definitely become stronger than they are now!"

Hanamura Aoi's smile was almost impossible to maintain.

For three years, they faced Hyotei in every Kanto Tournament.

Being eliminated by the champion team halfway through the season gave everyone, including Hanamura Aoi, the feeling that their Josei Shonan team was comparable to the second-place team.

After all, they had all lost to the champions; they were just unlucky enough to run into Hyotei before the finals.

If they hadn't been in this group, they could have made it to the semifinals, or even been the runners-up in the finals...

"Then you can only say you're incredibly unlucky; the entire school couldn't find a single talented person."
