Chapter 126 Seigaku VS Hyotei
"La la la la la~"
Golden Haru kept twisting and turning in front of Kabaji Takahiro, but no matter how much funny effort he put in, the dull Kabaji Takahiro remained unresponsive, as emotionless as a piece of wood.
This made Jinse Xiaochun very disappointed. "Okay, then let's settle this with tennis."
"Alright, let's settle this with tennis."
Kabaji Takahiro chimed in, which surprised Konji Koharu.
"Looks like you're not completely clueless after all."
Golden Haru jumped up and shouted, "Take this!!"
He suddenly hit the ball out.
"Bang!"
Kabaji Takahiro also followed suit.
The two immediately began fighting.
At first, Jinse Xiaochun found it quite fun, but soon he realized something was wrong.
"Is he imitating my movements?"
Jinse Xiaochun was puzzled.
So I tentatively hit a few balls, and "it was true."
"It's more than just an imitation, it's practically a one-to-one replica!" Kintaro Toyama shrugged.
A thousand years and a thousand miles, "It's not an easy thing to defeat another version of yourself."
"Bang!"
"Zero to fifteen".
The first point was scored quickly.
"The original artist actually lost a point to the imitator?"
"It's hard to accept that someone else scored the same point as you, even for someone as funny as Xiaochun."
"Doesn't this just prove that the other party is very powerful?"
"Zero to thirty!"
The referee's voice was strong and clear.
The crowd outside the arena simply gasped in surprise.
The happiest people were not Hyotei, but the so-called Higa Junior High School.
Today, and before this moment, Shitenhoji Temple was incredibly majestic.
They almost always crushed their opponents in every match.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi even defeated Chitose Senri and Tachibana Kippei.
Koharu Kondo and Yuji Ichiji are both highly skilled and specialize in showing off their skills on the court.
Now, Shitenhoji's glory seems to be frozen, completely unusable.
Mukahi Gakuto said, "When faced with incoming balls, Kabaji will only return them all. No matter how much that guy from Shitenhoji struggles, it's useless."
Yuushi Oshitari: "It's confirmed that our next opponent is Seigaku."
"Match ended! Hyotei Kabaji Takahiro wins, score 6-0!"
"Hyotei Academy has three wins and one loss, advancing to the next round, while Shitenhoji is eliminated."
L
The stronger the opponent, the stronger they become. Faced with such an opponent, Golden Spring could only feel helpless and want to cry.
Watanabe Osamu sighed.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi lowered his brows, a rare sight for him. "We actually..."
'
"Hyotei is just too strong today. As their captain said, the championship is destined to belong to Hyotei."
"Although we, Shitenhoji, lost, there are still Seigaku and Rikkai to come. It's not certain who will win the championship yet," said Zaizen Hikaru.
"Yeah, why is Chitose so sure that Hyotei will win the championship?" Kenya Oshitari then asked.
Chitose Senri didn't offer much explanation regarding Natsume Tsuki's ability to teach ball skills, but simply smiled and said, "Because that's what Natsume Tsuki said too."
Kintaro Toyama laughed and said, "Chitose, you're starting to act silly too."

Obviously, no one wants to believe such a thing.
"Although there was a slight surprise, Hyotei still advanced."
"Hyotei's advancement is only natural, what are you talking about?"
"sorry."
"Well then, Seigaku, see you tomorrow."
Hyotei was overjoyed.
Seigaku also received the news.
"Ugh, it's Hyotei again."
When Kikumaru Eiji heard that Hyotei had defeated Shitenhoji 3-1, he immediately began to complain.
"Eiji, there's nothing we can do about it."
Shuichiro Oishi encouraged them, "No matter what, once Hyotei advances to the next round, they will definitely face Seigaku. The only option is to fight hard."
"Judging from Echizen's expression, he's not afraid at all," Momoshiro Takeshi teased, putting his arm around Echizen Ryoma's neck.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," said Satoshi Horio. "Echizen did quite well in the U.S. Open, so of course he's not afraid."
Eiji Kikumaru: "Little one, in tomorrow's match, you must show them your true strength."
Ryoma Echizen lowered the brim of his hat, looking more confident than before.
Takashi Kawamura said, "I heard that Shitenhoji Temple even won a game."
Akutsu happened to be passing by and said, "Kawamura, don't be silly."
After saying that, he left.
Kawamura Takashi murmured: "Akutsu."
At this moment, Inui Sadaharu spoke up: "I heard that Yamabuki has also made it into the top four."
"Agan, what did Akutsu mean just now?" Kikumaru Eiji frowned.
Sadaharu Inui flipped through his notes and said, "That's because Hyotei's doubles team encountered Shitenhoji's strongest singles pair."
"A singles duo?" The Seigaku members were shocked and looked at Momoshiro Takeshi and Echizen Ryoma, who had previously served as doubles players in singles.
Inui Sadaharu glanced at Echizen Ryoma and said, "By the way, Shitenhoji also has a first-year student who's about the same height as Echizen, but his strength is unmatched throughout Kansai. His captain, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, calls him the number one fighter at Shitenhoji!"
"A first-year student? As tall as Echizen? The number one fighter at Shitenhoji Temple?"
The students of Seigaku were all surprised.
"The data is displayed as follows."
Inui Sadaharu glanced at Momoshiro Takeshi again and said, "He is one of them. The other person who defeated Hyotei this time is Chitose Senri of Shitenhoji. It is said that he used one of the three gates of the Mugae-kyoku (Mugae-kyoku) technique, the Limit of Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements, in this tournament, which can double the power of the opponent's ball. Therefore, Hyotei Chotaro's powerful serve had no effect on him."
"Double the counterattack, that's too strong!" Kikumaru Eiji exclaimed.
Qian Zhenzhi said, "Furthermore, according to legend, there are three gates to the realm of 'no self.' Qian Sui Qianli not only mastered the limits of tempering and refining, but also the limits of unleashing talent, which is why he was able to win that match."
Ryuzaki Sumire: "Shitenhoji's victory was due not only to the players' skill but also to the coach's tactical setup, so we can't underestimate them, understand?"
"Understood!" everyone replied immediately.
Ryuzaki Sumire also started thinking about tactics.
"However, we are not afraid, because we have Tezuka..."
"Seigaku has also gone back to prepare."
On this night, the scene that once belonged to Hyotei Academy was given to Seishun Academy.
The headlights seemed to grow on a giant tree, their dazzling light falling down, and amidst the swarms of mosquitoes, the entire Seigaku team gathered on the court.
In the darkness, Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses. "Looks like everyone thinks the same thing."
Shuichiro Oishi: "No matter what, Seigaku must win!"
Eiji Kikumaru: "That's right, no matter what, we want to win."

"Defeat Hyotei!"
Momoshiro Takeshi stuck a Hyotei logo on a soda can, placed it on the court, and then fiercely threw a ball, smashing the can dry.
"Defeat Hyotei!"
Others also threw the ball and swung their rackets at the same time, the sound of the ball hitting the racket echoing in the quiet night.
Only Shoujia Guoguang remained unmoved.
Everyone stared at him for a long time before Kunimitsu Teya finally threw the ball and said, "Focus all your attention on the ground."
"Yay! Defeat Hyotei!"
Everyone made a tremendous decision.
But what they didn't know was that in another world, the person who did this was Hyotei—
early morning.
As the radiance slowly spread across the streets, the Hyotei team had already embarked on their journey.
They stood in neat rows, forming a V-shape, their golden shadows elongated, and everyone's gaze was unwavering.
If they win this match, Hyotei will advance to the national championship finals.
This is crucial for Hyotei.
This will make history for Hyotei, making Hyotei a true emperor.
"I didn't expect those guys to be just as good as me."
Guan Yueyue arrived at the stadium early in the morning.
One by one, familiar faces began to appear like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
It was a refreshing and exciting morning.
Natsume Tsukiya glanced around and saw familiar faces at St. Rudolph Academy, Shitenhoji, Higa Junior High, Rokkaku Junior High, Ginka Junior High, Shonan Jōsei, Tamahayano, and so on. His gaze followed Hyotei's every step.
It seems everyone considers this an important match.
Inoue Mamoru and Ms. Shiba were also in the crowd.
It's a bit surprising that they didn't go to film Rikkai's match.
Natsume Tsukiya stopped beside the match field and submitted his roster.
Everyone was watching.
"Inoue-senpai, Hyotei has submitted their roster for the competition." Ms. Shiba raised her camera and snapped a picture.
"Yes, this match has finally arrived. It's the final showdown of the Kanto Tournament, and also Seigaku's revenge match," Inoue Mamoru said.
Ms. Shizuka, "I heard that Ryoma Echizen learned a lot of techniques from the U.S. Open. I wonder how he'll fare this time?"
Mamoru Inoue: "Seigaku's team is now in full strength. Seigaku's strength is naturally incomparable to that of the Kanto Tournament. It's really hard to say who will be the winner."
Ms. Shiba, "The Seigaku people are here too."
The two teams met at the field where the entry forms were submitted.
"Tezuka, don't let me down," Atobe Keigo said first.
Kunimitsu Teiji's aura remained strong as he declared, "Today, the victor will be Seigaku."
Upon hearing this, the members of Seigaku all showed joy.
"I hope you can get at least one point."
Atobe Keigo's words were also straightforward.
This made the Seigaku members very uncomfortable.
Both sides quickly arrived at the competition venue.
They waited on opposite sides.
"Tezuka."
"Seigaku seems pretty strong too."
"I wonder how today's match will go, or if it will go the full distance."
"Let's see how Seigaku produces its talent."
Many people outside the venue started discussing Kunimitsu Tei, after all, this captain of Seigaku is very famous, especially the fact that he is highly regarded by professionals, which is quite admirable.
"The match between Seishun Academy and Hyotei Academy is about to begin. Please prepare yourselves."
The broadcast soon came on.
At the beginning of the month, he said, "It's still the same thing."
"What are you saying, Mizuki?" Fuji Yuta asked.
"The tournament rules are that doubles and singles alternate, and you win three matches to win the tournament."
Guan Yuechu said.
"What does 'Kanzuki' mean?" Akazawa Yoshiro asked.
Kanzuki: "As can be seen from yesterday's match, it's impossible to defeat Hyotei with the usual lineup. I think Tezuka is well aware of that."
Akazawa Yoshiro: "Yuta, don't you have any news at all?"
"My brother wouldn't tell me these things either," Fuji Yuta said helplessly.
At the beginning of the month, he said, "No matter what, I still don't have a good chance of winning against Seigaku, unless Tezuka Kunimitsu appears from the very beginning."
"How is that possible?" Fuji Yuta looked incredulous.
Everyone else was looking forward to the matchups before the game.
Kuranosuke Shiraishi: "I just want to know in which round Tei will appear."
千岁千里: "If the opponent doesn't reallocate their team resources, the chances of winning might not be very high."
"Tezuka," said Oshitari Kenya, "I'm really looking forward to his performance."
"But Chitose, if Tezuka Kunimitsu and Natsume Tsukiya were to face off, who do you think would win?" Watanabe Osamu suddenly turned and asked.
"I have no other choice."
Chitose Senri's attitude is quite puzzling: who exactly is it that makes him so determined to be Natsume Tsukiya?
"The second doubles match between Seishun Academy and Hyotei Academy is about to begin. Players from both sides, please prepare yourselves."
Ryo Mido: "Who do you think the opposing team will send out?"
Mukahi Gakuto: "It must be their Golden Doubles pair, otherwise who else could it be? The other side seems to only have one true doubles pair."
Yuushi Oshitari: "Aren't we the same?"
Xiang Riyueren, "...
""
"Youth Academy, Kikumaru Eiji, Oishi Shuichiro!"
After the announcement, everyone immediately started whispering among themselves: "As expected, Seigaku's first match is their Golden Doubles."
"Didn't those two lose in the Kanto Tournament?"
"After so much time, there should have been some progress, right?"
"Hyotei Academy, Ryo Mido, Chotaro Ootori!"
Upon hearing those two names, Kikumaru Eiji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness it wasn't that giant, Kabaji."
Shuichiro Oishi: "Eiji, so you were worried that they would send Kabaji out, huh?"
Kikumaru Eiji chuckled and scratched his head.
"Both sides choose sides."
"We choose the front, Oishi; justice will prevail."
Kikumaru Eiji smiled.
Ryo Mido rested his racket on his fingertips and casually remarked, "Only the strong can withstand any challenge."
The Seigaku duo were taken aback.
"We'd like to choose the front, how about that?" Kikumaru Eiji said playfully.
Ryo Mido: "..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
The racket is spinning rapidly.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
"It's a head-on sign, Oishi, may your wishes come true." Kikumaru Eiji was very excited. Just as he had prayed, if it was a head-on sign, then Seigaku would definitely be able to defeat Hyotei.
His wish came true, how could he not be happy?
"What do you mean by 'may your wishes come true'?" asked Chotaro Ootori.
"I'm not telling you," Kikumaru Eiji said with a grin.
Ryo Mido: "It should be something like defeating our Hyotei, but that's impossible."
"Why can't it be?"
Kikumaru Eiji angrily declared, "We, Seigaku, will defeat Hyotei today!"
"Whatever." Ryo Mido shrugged and walked backstage.
He thought to himself, "I didn't understand it before, but after winning the Kanto Tournament, I suddenly realized the captain's mentality. When a person stands in a place that everyone can only look up to, even just once, their mindset will undergo a huge change. This is something that those who have never reached the top will never understand..."
