#123 - Three coaches came to watch the game
The audience was already shouting before the match even started.
Ten minutes later.
“The Kanto Tournament finals are about to begin! Rikkaidai Affiliated Middle School versus Hyotei Academy! Both teams, please prepare yourselves!”
The staff's voice rang out.
With the staff's announcement, the Kanto finals between Rikkaidai and Hyotei officially began!
“Oh? We arrived just in time. The match is just starting.”
Outside the spectator stands, three unexpected figures appeared.
Saito Itaru, Takuetsu Ryuji, Kurobe Yukio!
“Hyotei, if I remember correctly, is the school that Ochi graduated from.”
Takuetsu Ryuji thought for a moment before speaking.
“That's right.”
Saito Itaru said with a smile: “The current captain of Hyotei is Atobe Keigo. His talent and strength are both quite good.”
“And there's also that Seigaku captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu.”
Kurobe Yukio said, his gaze sweeping around, finding Tezuka Kunimitsu's figure among the crowd.
Tezuka Kunimitsu and Atobe Keigo were both seen in some documents by Saito Itaru, Takuetsu Ryuji, and Kurobe Yukio before they arrived.
At least they are much better than high school students!
“Besides these few, there are also some good middle school students in the teams.”
Saito Itaru smiled and said, “It seems that in the past two years, there have been more and more talented people!”
“Hopefully.”
Takuetsu Ryuji said indifferently. If Yukimura hadn't appeared this year, the reputation of the Japanese team in the world would still be 0!
But now, although the reputation of the Japanese team in the world has not surpassed the world's top four, it is still in the middle reaches.
That's enough for the Japanese team.
The reason why Saito Itaru, Takuetsu Ryuji, and Kurobe Yukio appeared here is because Mifune Nyudo asked them to observe some of the players in the middle school world recently.
See if there are any good players who can be directly invited to the U-17 training camp after graduating from middle school.
After the U-17 World Cup, the International Tennis Association naturally noticed Yukimura. In the past U-17 World Cups, all participants were high school students. After seeing Yukimura's performance, the International Tennis Association decided that the next U-
17 World Cup can appropriately include some middle school students.
Moreover, there must be middle school students playing in every match!
The specific rules have not yet been released, but the participation of middle school students in the U-17 World Cup has been confirmed, but the news has not been released yet.
Not only that, in addition to observing whether there are any good players, Mifune Nyudo also asked the three of them to bring a message to Yukimura.
Inside the Rikkaidai team.
Yanagi Renji said calmly: “The probability of us winning this match is 100%!”
“Of course!”
Kirihara Akaya said excitedly: “Rikkaidai will win!”
“Idiot, calm down.”
Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said calmly.
“Senior, I'm just telling the truth!”
Kirihara Akaya said very seriously.
“Puri~!”
Niou Masaharu smiled, with a fox-like smile on his face.
Hearing Yukimura's words, Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi immediately responded.
Immediately afterwards, two people walked out of the Hyotei team.
Second-year student Shishido Ryo and first-year student Ohtori Chotaro!
This doubles combination is a doubles team that was just formed this year, but their tacit understanding is very high, even better than Yamabuki Middle School.
Especially Ohtori Chotaro's serve, which is very fast!
“It's starting!! It's starting!!”
Many of the surrounding audience members showed excitement and anticipation on their faces.
Looking forward to this Kanto final.
In front of the net.
Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi, as well as Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Chotaro, looked at each other.
“We won't lose this year!”
Shishido Ryo said in a deep voice, his tone very firm.
“Although saying this might dampen your confidence, when you say this, you don't even think about the gap between us.”
Yagyu Hiroshi adjusted his glasses and said: “Sorry, Rikkaidai will win.”
“Puri~!”
Niou Masaharu put his racket on his shoulder and smiled faintly: “So, you can only hope that you don't lose too quickly.”
“Arrogant!”
Ohtori Chotaro was a little unhappy.
Just like that, the four returned to the baseline.
“Rikkaidai!”
Kamio Akira frowned and looked at Yukimura beside him.
He couldn't see through this Child of God who resounded throughout the world. He was like someone hidden in a fog.
In fact, Kamio also knew what the result of Hyotei would be, but Hyotei would not fear any team,
Even if the opponent is Rikkaidai!
“Match start, game ends, Hyotei service game!”
The staff looked at the four people, and then shouted loudly.
Ohtori Chotaro took the lead in getting the serve.
“Chotaro's serve will definitely score first!”
Taki Haginosuke said in the Hyotei team.
“That's for sure, right? Kabaji.”
Atobe Keigo smiled faintly.
“Yes!”
Kabaji Munehiro replied.
On the court, at the baseline.
Kazemachi Taro held a tennis ball in his hand, gently tapping it on the ground, and a rhythmic sound slowly sounded.
· · ·
The tennis ball was tossed high.
“—! Ball! Into! The! Soul!”
Ohtori Chotaro shouted word by word, his arm turned into afterimages, and instantly hit the tennis ball.
Bang! A dull hitting sound suddenly sounded, like a bolt of lightning piercing through the court.
Only a 'thump' was heard, and the tennis ball had already fallen at Niou Masaharu's feet.
“Hmm!?”
Niou Masaharu opened his eyes, his pupils slightly condensed.
“15:0!”
The referee immediately announced the score.
“This speed—”
Sanada showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“160km/h!”
Yanagi Renji said lightly: “It is indeed surprising that a first-year student can hit a serve of this speed.”
“Hyotei has changed a lot!”
Mori Juzaburo chuckled.
Kirihara Akaya showed a hint of excitement in his eyes. He wanted to play against this Ohtori Chotaro a little.
Yukimura's face did not change at all, always with a faint gentle smile.
“The speed is really fast!”
Niou Masaharu chuckled.
“Hey, Niou, stop playing around.”
Yagyu Hiroshi said lightly: “The captain will be angry later.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Niou Masaharu shrugged.
“Then—let you see what I have been trying.”
“Trying something new?”
Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Chotaro's expressions changed slightly after hearing Niou Masaharu's words.
Not only the two of them, but even Yagyu Hiroshi's expression changed slightly.
“Interesting.”
Yukimura on the coach's bench, after hearing Niou Masaharu's words, the corners of his mouth raised a faint smile, and a little smile appeared in his purple eyes.
New things, will it be what he imagined?
“What is Niou talking about?”
Mori Juzaburo showed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“I don't know.”
Sanada and Yanagi Renji looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Sounds like it should be real tennis skills?”
Jack Kuwahara couldn't help but say.
“It shouldn't be that simple, right?”
Marui Bunta said.
