#126 - Atobe enters the stage
"Damn it!"
The Ice Emperor team exchanged glances, their faces showing some unwillingness.
Whenever they encountered the Rikkaidai team, they only had one thought in mind: not to win—but just to hope they wouldn't lose too badly.
Because throughout the entire country, there was no opponent that could compare to Rikkaidai.
Ice Emperor wasn't qualified, and Seigaku was even less qualified...
All teams only hoped that when they encountered Rikkaidai, they wouldn't lose too badly.
"Hmph!"
Keigo Atobe clicked his tongue in displeasure, even he, as an emperor, would think about this.
There was no helping it, because Rikkaidai was just too strong, strong to the point of being despairing.
"Is singles one going to be you? Seiichi!"
He absolutely couldn't let Seiichi look down on him!!
On the coach's bench, Seiichi noticed Keigo Atobe's gaze and chuckled softly.
He naturally understood Keigo Atobe's thoughts, and then he stood up from the coach's bench.
"He wants to personally play?"
Yushi Oshitari was taken aback when he saw Seiichi's movements.
"Atobe!"
Ryo Shishido quickly looked towards Keigo Atobe.
"Just like what I was thinking!"
Keigo Atobe said in a deep voice, the last time during the match with Seigaku, Seiichi had played, and his opponent was Kunimitsu Tezuka.
And now, the situation was basically the same as last time.
"Atobe, good luck—"
Yushi Oshitari was silent for a moment before speaking.
If it was someone else playing, Keigo Atobe might still have a chance to win, but now that the Child of God was personally taking action, Keigo Atobe simply had no chance of winning.
"Huh? Who do you think you're talking to?"
Keigo Atobe sneered and walked onto the court with his racket.
Off the court, Kunimitsu Tezuka's eyes flashed when he saw Keigo Atobe walk onto the court.
Ever since the last match with Seiichi, he had noticed his own shortcomings, Kunimitsu Tezuka knew that it was Seiichi's intention…
It was to let him know his own shortcomings.
And now—
Kunimitsu Tezuka's face paused slightly as he watched Keigo Atobe and Seiichi compete.
"Oh? Seiichi Yukimura is personally playing?"
Saito, Itaru said with some surprise after seeing Seiichi walk onto the court.
"Seiichi Yukimura also played during yesterday's Kanto semi-finals."
Ryuji Tsubaki said, "His opponent yesterday was Kunimitsu Tezuka."
"And the captain of Seigaku at that."
Seigaku?!
Yukio Kurobe's expression changed slightly upon hearing Seigaku.
"Seigaku—what a familiar name!"
Itaru Saito smiled and said, "That Samurai also came from Seigaku!"
"But it's a pity—ever since the Samurai, we haven't heard of any geniuses emerging from Seigaku."
"Moreover, that coach—seems to have set a very strange rule."
Yukio Kurobe and Ryuji Tsubaki said in unison after hearing Itaru Saito's words, "Idiot."
Itaru Saito shook his head and chuckled softly after hearing this.
"As expected, the captain is going to personally take action."
Juzaburo Mouri said as he looked at Seiichi in the court.
Genichiro Sanada and Renji Yanagi weren't too surprised.
"Why does the captain have to personally play? The vice-captain, Senior Yanagi, and Senior Mouri could easily defeat that Keigo Atobe."
Akaya Kirihara said as he looked at Keigo Atobe in the court.
"I thought you were going to say that you could also defeat Keigo Atobe."
Yagyu Hiroshi chuckled softly and said, "You have to know that the captain has his own thoughts."
"Kirihara, if it were you—you would definitely lose miserably—"
Hiroshi Yagyu pushed up the glasses on his nose and said.
Akaya Kirihara was immediately silent.
In the court.
Seiichi and Keigo Atobe shook hands.
"This time, I'll let you know my evolution!"
Keigo Atobe said, staring at Seiichi.
"Then I'll look forward to it a little."
Seiichi smiled gently after hearing Keigo Atobe's words.
"You'll see it!"
Keigo Atobe's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.
With that, the two returned to their baselines.
"Match start, one game match, Ice Emperor's Keigo Atobe's serve!"
With the referee's voice, the match officially began!
In the court.
Keigo Atobe stood on the baseline, holding a tennis ball in his hand, staring at Seiichi on the opposite side.
Whoosh—a powerful aura emanated from Seiichi, rapidly spreading around him.
The suffocating pressure made Keigo Atobe's breathing stagnate, "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!!"
Excitement was revealed in Keigo Atobe's eyes, he had been preparing for a long time to be able to compete against Seiichi again,
This time, he must let Seiichi know his evolution!!!!!
Swish…
Keigo Atobe flicked his wrist and quickly tossed the tennis ball high into the air.
Bang—the racket struck the tennis ball, and a muffled hitting sound was immediately heard.
Then, the tennis ball was as fast as a meteor falling to the ground, the shadow of the ball drew an arc in the air, and after passing over the net, it quickly fell towards Seiichi's half!
Thump—accompanied by the sound of the tennis ball landing, the strong force caused the dust on the ground to flutter.
"Such a fast serve!!"
Akaya Kirihara's eyes trembled, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Is this the strength of the Ice Emperor's captain?
As expected!
He was still far behind!!
Akaya Kirihara's eyes became more and more firm, he must defeat the Rikkaidai Three Demons!!
"It's indeed very fast."
Renji Yanagi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This speed is almost catching up to the vice-captain."
After saying this, the Rikkaidai team subconsciously focused their gaze on Genichiro Sanada.
But Genichiro Sanada's expression did not change, it was still the same.
"Wanting to win against Seiichi with this kind of strength—it's too difficult."
Renji Yanagi said, looking at Keigo Atobe in the court.
"The captain's strength—that's world-class!!"
Hiroshi Yagyu said softly.
Apart from the Rikkaidai team who had calm expressions, the Ice Emperor and many spectators and tennis reporters around them instantly changed their expressions.
Especially those foreign tennis reporters!!
Was Neon's tennis finally going to rise again?
Was it because the Child of God had created unprecedented victories that it led to the revolution of Neon's tennis?
"It seems that coming to Neon was the right thing to do!"
All the tennis reporters thought secretly in their hearts.
On the other side, coaches Yukio Kurobe, Ryuji Tsubaki, and Itaru Saito exchanged glances, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts.
"A fast serve—"
Seiichi praised after seeing Keigo Atobe's serve.
As he spoke, he had already disappeared from his original spot.
When Seiichi reappeared, he had already arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball.
Just as the tennis ball bounced up, he swung his racket, and after the tennis ball bounced up, he quickly pressed down!
Pa—a crisp hitting sound rang out, and the tennis ball was as fast as an arrow shot out, quickly descending after creating an arc in the air.
