'With this monster in Yamabuki Middle School, they will eventually defeat Seigaku...'
......
Time flies, and before we know it, the prelude to the national tournament, the Tokyo qualifiers... has begun!
Chapter 283 Finals, Seigaku VS Fudomine!
The scene of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament regional preliminary rounds.
People come and go, and various voices of discussion, sighs, and soft exclamations can be heard from time to time.
Among these conversations, the most frequently mentioned topic was Seigaku.
The reason for this is that Seigaku's performance in this regional preliminaries was simply too outstanding.
In this atmosphere, Echizen Nanjiro arrived here.
There are two reasons why Echizen Nanjiro came this time: one is because of Echizen Ryoma, and the other is because of Chen Anxia.
Among them, Echizen Nanjiro's curiosity about Chen Anxia even surpassed that of Echizen Ryoma.
While searching for the location of Seigaku, Echizen Nanjiro kept hearing people talking about Seigaku, which gave him some insight into the situation.
"Seigaku is really too strong this year."
"I watched their game against Yulin Middle School, and it was a one-sided crushing defeat."
"Yulin Middle School was a seeded team in this regional qualifier, but who would have thought they would lose so badly?"
"By the way, did you guys notice that first-year student in Seigaku's doubles number 2 during the match between Seigaku and Tamahin?"
"Ah, you mean that kid with the baseball cap, who's not very tall and looks arrogant? I've noticed him!"
"His strength is also very strong. His performance in that doubles match was in no way inferior to that of Takeshi Momoshiro."
"By the way, isn't there a first-year student at Seigaku who's become quite famous lately, with a title like 'Seigaku's King'? Do you think it could be him?"
"It must be him. As a first-year student with outstanding abilities, it's normal for him to become famous."
"The regional preliminary round finals are about to begin. It's Seigaku vs. Fudomine. Do you guys want to go watch?"
"Of course I'm going!"
"I also watched Fudomine's matches, and all I can say is that Fudomine is really strong this year. There will definitely be a fierce battle between them and Seigaku."
"I really don't know how Fudomine suddenly rose to prominence. Last year, Fudomine didn't even make it past the quarterfinals of the regional preliminaries, but this year they went straight to the finals."
......
Echizen Nanjiro listened to the surrounding discussions, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Then, Echizen Nanjiro followed the people who planned to watch the final and went to the venue for the final.
At this point, Seigaku and Fudomine had submitted their respective final team member rankings to the referee and were also aware of each other's rankings.
After seeing the order of the Seigaku members, Tachibana Kichihei, the captain of Fudomine, had an expression of "I didn't expect this" on his face, and then went back to start the pre-match tactical review.
After reviewing the tactics before the match, before the official start of the game, Tachibana Kichihei looked at a member of the Fudomine team and said, "Shinji, in my opinion, you will be the turning point of the game this time."
"Don't feel pressured. Believe in your own abilities, and believe that we, Fudomine, will eventually win the championship in this regional qualifier!"
The man Tachibana Kichihei refers to is Shinji, whose full name is Ibu Shinji. He is a man who appears mature and mysterious, with a calm and composed demeanor.
At this time, Shinji Ibu was not yet well-known, but in the eyes of Kichihei Tachibana, Shinji Ibu was undoubtedly a genius, a genius comparable to Syusuke Fuji.
The reason why Tachibana Kichihei thinks this way is not only because Ibu Shinji also possesses many genius-level special moves, but also because he can formulate ever-changing tactics in a very short time depending on the type or situation of the opponent.
In addition, Shinji Ibu possesses an astonishing level of concentration that enables him to execute these tactics, leaving no room for his opponent's weaknesses to hide.
Not only did Tachibana Yoshihira think so, but all the other members of Fudomine also thought so.
In their view, Shinji Ibu's talent even surpasses that of the genius Syusuke Fuji.
Therefore, after Tachibana Kichihei spoke, before Ibu Shinji could reply, Kamio Akira said, "Captain, don't you understand Shinji?"
"With Shinji's genius, winning the match would be a piece of cake."
As he spoke, Kamio Akira looked at Ibu Shinji and said with a smile, "Shinji, this time you have to win beautifully, so as to announce to everyone that not only Seigaku has geniuses, but our Fudomine also has geniuses."
Seeing this, Ibu Shinji, who remained expressionless, did not reply but simply nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
At Seigaku, the same pre-match tactical review is also underway.
However, the coach who served as the pre-match tactical review coach was not Kunimitsu Tezuka, nor Sumire Ryuzaki, but Sadaharu Inui.
This is understandable, since Sadaharu Inui's data tennis is indeed very suitable for him to be a coach.
Meanwhile, Inui Sadaharu diligently reviewed each and every point of attention.
Under these circumstances, the final match officially began.
The first game was a doubles match between players number 2.
On Seigaku's side, the newly formed doubles pair, Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro, took to the court.
On the Fudomine side, the newly formed doubles pair was Masaya Sakurai and Tetsu Ishida.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the exciting match began.
In this match, although Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro suppressed Masaya Sakurai and Tetsuya Ishida in the early stages with their strong singles skills.
However, in the subsequent matches, Masaya Sakurai and Tetsuya Ishida gradually caught up thanks to their amazing teamwork.
It was a thrilling match with both sides neck and neck, and for a time the score remained deadlocked.
Under these circumstances, in order to win, Tetsuya Ishida disregarded Kichihei Tachibana's words and forcibly used the forbidden move, Hadouko.
Facing Ishida Tetsuya's Wave Ball, not to mention Echizen Ryoma, even a power-type player like Momoshiro Takeshi would be unable to catch it.
Momoshiro Takeshi's wrist was even severely damaged as a result, making it impossible for him to continue the match.
Ultimately, this doubles match ended with Seigaku's withdrawal.
On the sidelines, Echizen Nanjiro watched this scene with a look of interest, muttering to himself, "That Wave Ball is a pretty good move, it's just a pity the user's physical abilities aren't enough to unleash its full power..."
"Ryoma's strength is his weakness. If it were a regular power-based ball technique, he could compensate with technique, but the Wave Shot is an extremely powerful technique..."
As he spoke, Echizen Nanjiro looked towards the Seigaku area, then at Chen Anxia leaning against the wall, a searching look in his eyes. He murmured softly, "If it were you, how would you deal with the Wave Ball..."
The match was still going on, and the second game was the doubles match between players number 1.
On Seigaku's side, the golden doubles pair, Shuichiro Oishi and Eiji Kikumaru, will be playing.
Fudomine's team is fielding their usual doubles pair, Kyosuke Uchimura and Tatsunori Mori.
In this doubles match, although Kyosuke Uchimura and Tatsunori Mori gave it their all, they were still defeated by Seigaku's golden doubles pair.
This resulted in a 1-1 score between Seigaku and Fudomine.
Such a wonderful match naturally made the spectators very happy, and the next game began amidst their anticipation.
This match is a singles match between players number 3, with Seigaku's Fuji Syusuke and Fudomine's Kamio Akira facing off.
......
Chapter 284 VS Professional Players from Another World!
The match between Fuji Syusuke and Kamio Akira has begun.
The sound of tennis balls hitting the ground echoed throughout the court.
boom!
"0-40!"
With the referee's announcement, Akira Kamio scored another point.
That's right, in the current match, Fuji Syusuke is actually being suppressed by Kamio Akira.
This fact sparked heated discussions among those watching the game from the sidelines.
"No way, the genius Fuji Syusuke was actually suppressed!?"
"So strong! This No. 3 singles player from Fudomine is so strong!"
"The technique he used was something like a sonic bullet, it was so fast I could barely see it!"
"Is this all Fuji Syusuke is capable of?"
"I was a little skeptical when I first heard that Fuji Syusuke had lost to a first-year student, but now I believe it..."
"In my opinion, Fuji Syusuke's title of genius is somewhat undeserved."
"It seems very likely that Fudomine will make a great comeback this year and win the regional qualifier championship."
......
On the sidelines of the court, in the area where Fudomine was located, everyone except Tachibana Kichihei took the facts before them for granted, believing that Kamio Akira could completely defeat Fuji Syusuke.
Kichihei Tachibana didn't say much about it, but sat quietly on the coach's bench.
At this moment, Tachibana Kichihei was looking at Fuji Syusuke, who remained calm and composed with a gentle smile on his face. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face as he murmured to himself, "Fuji Syusuke, is this really your full strength?"
Meanwhile, in the area where Seigaku was located, the ordinary club members who came to watch the game couldn't help but start discussing it when they saw this fact.
Satoshi Horio couldn't help but cry out in despair, "No way, Fuji-senpai, are you really going to lose?"
The regular members of Seigaku, however, were different; none of them showed any emotional fluctuations due to the facts before them.
Just as the members of Fudomine believed in Akira Kamio, they also believed in Syusuke Fuji.
Of course, the main reason is that they all know that Fuji Syusuke's true strength is not limited to this.
Just after Akira Kamio scored again with a sonic shot, Anxia Chen got up, grabbed his tennis bag, and left the tennis court.
The next match is Chen Anxia's turn, so Chen Anxia must warm up in advance.
Chen Anxia's warm-up method was different from others. After leaving the court, he silently issued a task in his mind.
At the very moment Chen Anxia issued the mission, a mission pop-up appeared in front of each player near the court.
The task written on it is an opportunity task. The task is to warm up with Chen Anxia, and the reward depends on Chen Anxia's satisfaction.
The sudden appearance of this character filled the players with ecstasy.
