Chapter 34
The game was played in a big way.
"The singles match will start next. Please enter the court!" With the referee's announcement, the third game was about to begin.
Tezuka and Yamato walked into the court with rackets. When shaking hands in front of the net, Yamato said to Tezuka:
"Your name is Tezuka Kunimitsu, right? I apologize to you for Takei's behavior. I'm really sorry!"
"There's no need to apologize, Yamato-senpai. After all, Kurasa has avenged Mute, so let's go all out in this game!" Tezuka was not inferior to Yamato in momentum.
Watching this scene, Akashi was really a little emotional. Under his intervention, the two generations of presidents of Seigaku actually had to compete in the game. It was so interesting. However, when it comes to Yamato Yudai, there is one thing that Akashi always wants to complain about.
Speaking of Yamato Yudai in junior high school, Yamato was completely different from Yamato in high school. Both his appearance and temperament were very different. Perhaps the only thing that remained unchanged was the stubble and the terrible five-dimensional value. Akashi remembered that when he was in U17, the total of Yamato's five dimensions was only 10 points.

Yamato now has a similar hairstyle and hair color to Ryoma. At first glance, he looks like a larger Ryoma, but Yamato still has a distinctive mark, the white headband and the round sunglasses. But does playing tennis with sunglasses really not hinder your vision?
Among the current players of Seigaku, the one who can make Akashi slightly interested in advance is Yamato Yudai. In the original work, the trick of "Dream Appearance" made Tezuka suffer a great loss. However, Tezuka has not joined the Seigaku tennis club yet, so Yamato should not have developed this trick yet. After all, it was a trick specially developed to deal with Tezuka.
"The game ends, Seigaku serves!" After Tezuka and Yamato guessed the pros and cons, the referee announced the start of the game.
Yamato stood at the baseline and touched his right hand holding the racket. The pressure in his heart was doubled. He was afraid that the old injury would relapse and affect the performance of the game. However, he finally made up his mind that even if his hand was disabled, he would win a game for Seigaku.
As Yamato served the ball, Tezuka was a little stunned, because the level of this serve, how to say~ was completely inconsistent with the level of the head of Seigaku he expected, but this did not prevent Tezuka from fighting back. At the same time, Tezuka was secretly on guard in his heart. It cannot be ruled out that this was the opponent deliberately showing weakness in order to let him relax his vigilance.
Facing Tezuka's counterattack, Yamato barely caught up with the tennis ball and hit it towards Tezuka's half court again, but at this moment, a white air wave vortex rose around Tezuka's body, and Yamato's counterattacked tennis ball was directly absorbed.
After Akashi's detailed training plan adjustment, Tezuka now no longer needs to arrange the field in advance, and can directly rely on returning the ball or serving to add enough rotation, but this will still cause a slight burden on the arm, but Tezuka now has a healthy arm and can completely bear it. He only needs to do some relaxing massage after the game to recover.
After Tezuka used the field, Yamato could not help even if he tried his best. No matter how he hit, the tennis ball would fly to Tezuka's side, and Tezuka only needed to stand in the middle of the baseline and adjust his hitting posture. Soon the game began to be one-sided.
"0-15!"
"0-30!"
"0-40!"
"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"
At this time, the audience on the sidelines were all shocked. Some people had never seen such a way of playing. They just had to stand on the baseline and wait for the tennis ball to fly over.
"Fuji! Fuji! Did you see it? The tennis ball actually flew to the side of the Tezuka player~" Kikumaru shouted excitedly.
"It's really incredible. Is he really a first-year student like us?" Oishi said to himself with some doubt about his life.
"It should be rotation, right? In theory, as long as you can absolutely control the rotation of the tennis ball, you can control the opponent's return rotation and angle, but this is only theoretical. It's too difficult to do it! Tezuka Kunimitsu, who are you?" Inui Sadaharu spoke his inference while writing various calculation formulas on his notebook.
"Tezuka is really strong. Although we are in the same grade, I feel that I may never be able to compare with him in my life!" Kawamura Takashi said with a little despair.
"Tezuka? He is indeed very strong. From our
Since we met, I have never beaten him. Now he seems stronger and more mature than before. I am really looking forward to fighting with you again! "Fuji opened his eyes, with a strong fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
Not to mention the various discussions of Fuji and others outside the court, among all the people present, Ryuzaki Sumire can be said to be the most shocked, because she has seen this kind of move on Nanjiro, and even Nanjiro did not master it when he was in the first year of junior high school. At that time, he was still practicing backhand shots.
At this moment, Ryuzaki Sumire's long-standing concept was shattered by Tezuka's domain. In fact, the biggest reason why Ryuzaki Sumire thought that the first year could only hone the basics and was not suitable for playing games was Echizen Nanjiro, because Nanjiro was in the first year of junior high school. When he was young, he was not very strong, and Ryuzaki Sumire was constantly teaching Nanjiro some basic tennis skills.
So when Nanjiro was shining on the world stage, Ryuzaki Sumire always believed that the foundation she laid for Nanjiro was very important, so the tradition that the first-year students of Qingxue can only pick up balls and practice basic skills has been passed down to this day. Two years later, if Ryoma was not Nanjiro's son, he would probably only be able to pick up balls.
At this time, the score on the field had unknowingly reached 3-0. Although Yamato had tried his best, he still couldn't get even a point from Tezuka, and Tezuka had to Outside the field, no other moves were used. In fact, he could have even not used the field, but after all, the opponent was the president of Seigaku. Out of caution, Tezuka chose the safest way.
However, seeing Yamato running around on the court, many people were moved. In fact, I'm afraid even Yamato himself knew that he had no hope. But even though he was covered in stains and his arms were starting to tingle like needles, Yamato still didn't give up any ball and kept chasing the tennis ball.
Even Akashi on the sidelines nodded secretly, thinking in his heart:
"It's worthy of being Seigaku. The ministers who came out are very resilient. It was this kind of resilience that almost broke Tezuka's arm in the original book. Both ministers almost lost their hands. The position of the minister of Qingxue is so terrifying. I hope Fuji can be safe~"
But in the end, Yamato still did not create a miracle. When the referee announced that the game had ended 6-0, Yamato covered his swollen and congested right hand, and came to the net with a wry smile to shake hands with Tezuka again, but this time Yamato extended his left hand.
When Tezuka saw Yamato like this, he frowned and couldn't help asking:
"Senior, is your hand okay? Did you hurt it during the game just now?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. This is an old injury from before. I'll go to the hospital to deal with it later. Here I want to congratulate you Fudomine for winning the championship of the regional qualifiers!" Yamato endured the pain and congratulated Tezuka.
"Thank you! Senior, you should deal with the injury of your arm as soon as possible! "After Tezuka finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the people of Fudomine.
"The game is over! The total score is 3 to 0! The winner is Fudomine Junior High School!" With the referee's announcement, this year's Tokyo regional preliminaries have completely ended, and Fudomine has become the well-deserved champion!
Yamato walked to Ryuzaki Sumire dejectedly and whispered:
"I'm sorry! Coach Ryuzaki, I couldn't win this game for Seigaku!"
"Hey~ It's not your fault, Yamato. The opponent's strength is no longer at the level of this competition. The boy named Tezuka Kunimitsu, if I'm not mistaken, is definitely at the national level!" Ryuzaki Sumire did not blame Yamato, but comforted him. After a pause, she said:
"It's really ironic~ A first-year national level, it's ridiculous that I used to think that first-years were not capable of playing in the game. Now I think that if you can't even reach the national level, then I'm afraid no one can participate in the competition. "Ryuzaki Sumire is slowly coming to terms with it now. Perhaps she has been wrong for too long.
On the other side, Akashi stood up after seeing Tezuka coming back, and said with a smile:
"Well done, Tezuka! You've worked hard! Let's go get an arm massage first~"
Tezuka nodded, without saying much, and turned to the preparation seat on the side, where a professional sports masseur was already waiting.
"The regional competitions are all over, and you've worked hard. You didn't let me down and won the championship perfectly. However, this is just the beginning. Our goal this year is only the national championship. I hope everyone will not forget it!"
"After attending the award ceremony, I will ask the bus driver to take you all home one by one. Have a good rest, but don't be late for tomorrow's club activities. That's all!" After Akashi finished summarizing,
After looking at Ryuzaki Sumire and Yamato Yudai on the other side, he said nothing and walked towards Fuji who was watching the game outside the stadium.
When he came to Fuji, there was a wire fence between them. Akashi looked at Fuji and said:
"Fuji-san, I haven't seen you for a while. It seems that you have already demonstrated your strength. How do you feel about this game?"
"Thanks to Akashi-kun's suggestion~ I didn't expect that your Fudomine is so strong, but we, Seigaku, will not admit defeat. If there is no accident, let's compete again in the competition!" Fuji said seriously.
"Wow! Are you the boss of Fudomine? Your players are so strong, they are all first-year students like us!" Kikumaru suddenly appeared beside Fuji and said to Akashi curiously.
"Sorry! Sorry! Director Akashi, Eiji was a little rude just now. Congratulations on winning the championship!" Oishi heard Kikumaru's jumpy words and hurried forward to pull Kikumaru away and apologized.
"It's okay! I don't care. I hope you can play in the metropolitan competition. After all, the current Seigaku is too weak!" After saying that, Akashi waved his hand and turned away, leaving only a handsome back to Fuji and others.
