Chapter 129 Echizen is out of options
Once Kuniaki Tezuka makes that iconic move, everyone outside the arena knows it's his signature technique:
—Zero short ball!
If you get that ball over the net, you're guaranteed a point, unless you return it before it hits the ground.
However, everyone only saw that Natsume Tsuki didn't make any remedial action, but just stood at the back of the court.
"Great, we scored!"
Satoshi Horio was the first to raise his arm and shout.
However, before the excitement in the eyes of the Seigaku members could subside, they saw the ball clear the net, land, and then float up, heading towards the back of the court.
"Damn it, I almost forgot, Natsume Tsukiya has the same skill as Captain Tezuka, something like Storm Nebula Ripple."
Arai shouted angrily.
Teya Kunimitsu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Did the opponent actually apply spin to that ball?
This was unexpected for Teya Kunimitsu.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With the empowerment of the state of selflessness, Kunimitsu was naturally able to receive this ball.
"These two are amazing."
"That Natsume Tsukiya is actually able to contend with the Mugata realm, he's really amazing."
"Tezuka Kunimitsu is really tenacious."
The noise from the sidelines had long been ignored by Kunimitsu Teya, but Natsume Tsukiya's next words still surprised him.
"The fifth goal!"
Natsume Tsuki also said something.
Teya Kunimitsu was stunned for a moment.
"That guy, what did he say about the fifth goal?"
"I don't know, who knows?"
66
'
"That should be the same as Chitose, right?" Shiraishi Kuranosuke glanced at Chitose Senri.
Watanabe frowned. "The three gates to the state of selflessness, the limit of talent and brilliance."
Kenji was also shocked. "What? That guy actually possesses the limit of genius?"
Hikaru Zaizen: "They're really making it impossible for us ordinary players to survive."
Golden Spring: "However, I've heard that the limit of 'Talent Radiance' only works on people whose level is lower than your own."
All eyes are on the game.
"The first goal!"
Someone started counting aloud.
"The second goal!"
"The third goal!"
Hearing the counting sounds coming from all sides, the students of Seigaku looked around, their hearts filled with tension and confusion:
Takeshi Momoshiro: "This can't be true, right?"
"Is Fuji Syusuke able to make predictions about Tezuka under the influence of the state of 'selflessness'?"
"The fourth goal!"
"The fifth goal!"
As soon as everyone finished speaking, Natsume Tsuki swung the ball out with a thud.
The power honed to its limit by countless trials and tribulations is transferred to the footwork, surging forward as the player waits in the backcourt with racket in hand.
"It's not working!"
Everyone saw that Tezuka Kunimitsu was already standing still and said, "This won't do, the opponent is Tezuka."
"call!"
Tezuka Kunimitsu swung his hand backhand, his face instantly showing astonishment.
"Missed it?"
"Where's the ball?"
After missing his shot, Teya Kunimitsu reacted faster than the others, searching with his eyes and finding that the ball was already lying in the center of the court.
Doubts arose immediately.
No one understood what had happened.
Osamu Watanabe: "That's an illusion, like the teleportation technique used in Higa Middle School. That ball was the same; it seemed to be moving forward, but actually, it was because the ball stopped in the center of the court for an extremely short period of time, and its shadow was projected forward..."
After his explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"5
""
"The fourth goal!"
Natsume Tsukiya also made a prediction.
"!"
"!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
With a whoosh, the fourth ball was scored. Tezuka Kunimitsu narrowed his eyes, and in a flash, he leaped straight towards the front of the court.
"He passed through it; he passed through the shadow of that ball."
"As expected of Tezuka."
"It seems that the prophecy of the four balls is about to be broken."
95
"Bang!"
Before the crowd could finish speaking...
The ball slammed into the corner of the field.
"Thirty to zero!"
The entire room was stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was on the field, was also stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the ball with a look of surprise.
"That guy is really something else."
"Unexpected."
"That's right. After so many matches, every single one of Natsume Tsukiya's matches has been refreshing. He truly deserves to be the No. 1 junior high school student in the country."
"Bang!"
"Forty to zero."
"!"
The final ball was suddenly passed out.
"The match is over!" Ryuzaki Sumire sighed inwardly.
His expression showed resentment, yet he was helpless.
"Match over! Hyotei Natsume Tsukiya wins, score 6-0!"
The referee announced immediately.
"Tezuka!"
"Tezuka of Seigaku".
"Tezuka from Seigaku actually lost."
Eishiro Kite: "Tezuka from Seigaku got beaten 6-0?"
Kai Yujiro laughed. "Eishiro, it's a shutout, a shutout, do you understand?"
Kuranosuke Shiraishi: "Tezuka ultimately failed to score a single point."
"How is it? How is it?"
All the students from Rikkai University Affiliated Senior High School rushed over, carrying their golf bags.
"Oh, it's Sanada and Yukimura." Inoue Mamoru turned his head and said, "Seigaku still has one match left to finish."
"Mr. Inoue, has Tezuka's match ended?"
Genichiro Sanada asked hurriedly.
Inoue Mamoru pointed to the scoreboard and said, "It just ended."
Everyone looked at the scoreboard with surprise.
Yukimura Seiichi asked, "Is that Tezuka's score?"
Renji Yanagi asked, "You mean, in the match just now, it was Tezuka who played?"
Inoue Mamoru nodded. "Yes."
"Who is the opponent?" Sanada Genichiro had a guess in mind, but still asked.
"It's Natsume Tsukiya."
Inoue Mamoru answered.
Everyone at Rikkai was shocked.
"I never expected that Tezuka could be shut out."
Yukimura Seiichi looked towards Hyotei and said, "It seems that Natsume is really strong."
The Rikkai players, relieved after losing to Hyotei, immediately heard Yukimura Seiichi say, "However, that's not a reason why the reigning champions, Rikkai, must lose!"
Genichiro Sanada's face stiffened; it seemed that Yukimura still harbored resentment towards the Kanto Tournament.
Everyone at Rikkai University fell silent.
Yukimura, however, said, "Tomorrow, our opponent will be Hyotei, won't they?"
Renji Yanagi replied, "That would be the case if Hyotei wins the next match."
Yukimura Seiichi: "That's for sure!"
Teya Kunimitsu let out a long sigh of relief. This result was completely unacceptable to him, who was completely focused on the ground.
Every step from the goal to the Seigaku camp was difficult, and like everyone who lost a game, they felt suffocated by something inexplicable.
He took over Seigaku from Yamato and became the pillar of Seigaku. It's not that he can't lose a match, but he doesn't think that losing like this means that Seigaku has also lost.
Zero to six, or even not zero to six, but zero points, not a single point was scored. This kind of match has never happened before.
Even when facing high school students, he had never failed to score a single point like this before.
No one could understand the pressure he was under at that moment.
"team leader?"
Kikumaru Eiji cried out in distress.
Tezuka Kunimitsu feigned composure, his expression remaining largely unchanged. "Focus all your energy on the ground."
The Seigaku members all fell silent.
After all, the significance of Guoguang's loss is different from that of other people's losses.
Seigaku lost to Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament because they had no one to help them.
Everyone was hoping Tezuka would recover and return to lead Seigaku to victory, but...
Ryoma Echizen pulled his hat brim down low, his face darkening. He desperately wanted to defeat Tsukiya Natsume, and his desire reached its peak.
His teeth were grinding together.
"The next match will be the doubles match between Hyotei Academy and Seishun Academy. Please prepare yourselves."
The announcement over the loudspeaker pulled the Seigaku students back from their low spirits.
"Momo, Kaidou, it's up to you two!" Ryuzaki Sumire shouted.
Full of enthusiasm, Takeshi Momoshiro and Kaoru Kaido headed towards the tennis court with their rackets.
Satoshi Horio: "Who will the opposing team send out?"
"Atobe, you better not lose."
"That's what Mukahi Gakuto said."
"What are you talking about?"
Atobe Keigo snorted coldly and shouted, "Hiyoshi, let's go!"
Hiyoshi glanced at Natsume Tsukiya, who casually waved his hand.
Hiyoshi then followed Atobe Keigo out.
"Atobe?"
"It's Atobe Keigo!"
"It seems that Hyotei has undergone a complete overhaul since Natsume Tsuki arrived."
"Yes, Keigo Atobe played more doubles matches than singles matches."
"However, this time I'm partnering with Hiyoshi Waka."
"The first doubles match between Hyotei Academy and Seishun Academy is now beginning, Seishun Academy's Momoshiro is serving."
Momoshiro Takeshi, with a bandage around his arm that read "Seigaku Will Win," looked intently at the opposing team and said, "Atobe, Seigaku won't be defeated so easily."
Atobe Keigo: "That would be best!"
"Bang!"
Momoshiro Takeshi exuded a magical sense of power.
It seemed as if an inescapable mission to win was ingrained in his very being, and this serve was delivered with more force than ever before.
"Bang!"
The ball was a beat too slow because Atobe Keigo didn't move at all, leaving Hiyoshi Waka to chase after it. He even said, "Second-year students should train hard, otherwise how will they shoulder the responsibility in the future!"
If Hiyoshi had nothing to say, he would take on the two opponents alone.
"Has Seigaku really fallen to this level?" Kenji Oshitari sneered. "One against two? In a doubles match?"
"Qianye, you should observe carefully."
Watanabe Osamu said, "Those two from Seigaku are not bad, it's just that the kid from Hyotei is quite peculiar."
Kintaro Toyama put his hands on his head and said, "He looks like a samurai sword frozen in cold mist."
Chisui Chisato laughed and said, "Xiao Jin is right. That Hiyoshi is very agile. His muscles show that he has undergone extreme training. He is definitely not someone to be underestimated."
"Bang!"
Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru were furious, but this time they were surprisingly calm. They exchanged a glance and began to work together.
Momoshiro Takeshi launched the first attack with a powerful jump smash, sending the ball crashing to the net, forcing Hiyoshi Waka to hit it to the backcourt.
Kaoru Kaidou suddenly bared his fangs, and with a spin, he flew over the outside of the court and hit the corner with precision.
Kikumaru Eiji: "Kaidou's ball control is more precise."
Shuichiro Oishi: "After all, it wasn't just Hyotei that improved after losing the Kanto Tournament."
Inui Sadaharu: "But it's completely useless."
"Useless?" Katsuro Kato turned his head.
"It looks like this match is a one-on-two, but in reality, Atobe is dominating the entire game. He's like an emperor controlling the field; he just stands there, and no ball that gets missed can escape his intimidation!" Fuji Syusuke said.
Everyone looked over.
Keigo Atobe had already raised his racket and swung it sharply.
"Bang!"
"Zero to fifteen!"
Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru's teamwork was perfect, but their opponents possessed an inexplicable composure. Hiyoshi Waka's speed and Atobe Keigo's tight defense caught the two off guard.
"Bang!"
Throughout the match, the players engaged in rapid-fire exchanges.
This fight was quite spectacular, with no slow-motion replays.
Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru launched a fierce attack, while Hiyoshi Wakashi, covered in sweat, sprinted across the field like an engine that never needed to breathe, taking on all the attacks from both of them.
This surprised everyone at Hyotei.
"Hiyoshi-waka, is that really Hiyoshi-waka?"
"Hyotei is really something else."
"While their third year students are shining brightly, they are also using each competition to propel the second year students onto the field next year."
"Atobe Keigo rarely takes action; his main goal is probably to make Hiyoshi Wakashi memorable to everyone."
"Both the old and new ministers are remarkable."
Hiyoshi Wakashi gradually became memorable through his occasional public appearances.
If Hiyoshi, a second-year student, can fight two opponents at once and hold his own against the two second-year students from Seishun Academy, it will inevitably attract the attention of the senior students from various schools.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Seeing that Hiyoshi was drenched in sweat, his eyes were almost blurred with sweat.
Seiichi Ooyukimura of Rikkai University looked very grim.
It remains to be seen who else is hiding and hasn't appeared yet, besides Natsume Tsukiya, a second-year student at Hyotei University, and Hiyoshi Wakasa, another second-year student.
However, Rikkai's ace, Kirihara Akane, will never be able to play again.
This is a huge loss for Rikkai University.
This is a debt we can't let go of with Hyotei.
"Bang!"
"It won't work."
"Amo-senpai and Kaidou-senpai are no match for Atobe and Hiyoshi."
"Atobe Keigo, those eyes can see right through Kaido and Momo's blind spots."
"We're doomed."
"Bang!"
"Match over! Hyotei wins, score 6-0!"
Hiyoshi was soaked through, and the two opposite him were also exhausted.
"hateful!"
For the first time, Kaoru Kaidou lost control of his emotions and smashed his racket to the ground.
Hyotei Academy advances to the finals.
An announcement came over the loudspeaker.
At the beginning of the month, "this is the result."
Miss Shizuka, "As expected, if we encounter Hyotei, Hyotei will win."
Kuranosuke Shiraishi: "Tezuka, Seigaku didn't even make it to the finals."
Seigaku, on the other hand, was in a somber mood.
Ryoma Echizen's face immediately darkened.
Satoshi Horio: "Echizen is out of the game."
Momoshiro Takeshi: "Sorry, Inui-senpai, Echizen!"
Inui Sadaharu: "It's alright."
Ryuzaki Sumire was also a little annoyed and said, "Let's go back."
the other side.
Nanako: "Uncle, Ryoma's Seigaku lost to Hyotei 0-3 and didn't make it to the finals."
"oh!"
Echizen Nanjiro hung up the phone, looked at the sky and said, "That kid, he'll probably be very unhappy about not being able to play in the national finals."
