The swapping match continued.
The battle between Duke and Silver..,
Was synonymous with a direct head-on clash.
The players of the Kanto Sect who had participated in the Kanto training..,
Recognized that face that didn't look like a traditional Japanese.
Even though during the few days of their training..,
This tall and strong high school student always had a simple and honest smile and followed behind the Equality House to call him "Boss"..,
But they never underestimated him.
So many high school students..,
How could someone who could coach them be easy to deal with?
(And now they already knew that the person who coached them was in the top three of the army)
But with the competition like this, some things were already very obvious.
It was fine to say that they were going easy..,
It was fine to hold back..,
There were many ways to compete, similar to a direct head-on clash..,
It was almost equivalent to a high school student feeding moves.
And even so..,
They would still be defeated head-on in their strengths. This kind of thing..,
"Silver!
Stop fighting! "Xiao Jin shouted anxiously.
But Ishida still hit the one hundred and eight style Wavering Ball.
Unfortunately..,
"Duke's Home Run!"
If they were in different positions, the current Silver would be like Kawamura a few months ago, unable to resist at all.
Shiroishi's expression was very serious.
He wasn't as anxious as Xiao Jin, who was about to jump up,
But his clenched fists showed that he wasn't calm in his heart.
It was just that the U17 training was ultimately a personal battle, and the barriers between the schools could already be used as a joke,
He really didn't have the right to ask Silver to do anything.
Everyone could only be responsible for themselves.
"Didn't you say that you would only use 60% of your strength?" Ghost said.
The meaning of this sentence, no matter how one looked at it, was too infuriating.
Shiroishi exhaled and stood up.
"The infirmary is over there." Yukimura pointed.
Shiroishi forced a smile.
"There's no other way. If I don't use my full strength..,
The one lying there might be me. "
There was a lot of politeness in this sentence, and how much sincerity,
It all depended on the interpretation of each person.
At least according to Prince Ren's analysis..,
Ishida Silver's one hundred and eight style Wavering Ball was far from enough to make Duke lie on the sidelines.
If it was so easy to catch up with these seniors who were three years older than them, then time would be too meaningless.
Right, Senior of the Equality House?
Prince Ren looked at the Equality House, which was sitting in the center of the army.
From the start of the competition until now, that man didn't show any special interest in the competition.
It was similar to "You guys can fight as you wish, and I'll also take a look." So much so that when he looked at that face, he was reminded of the suffocating feeling of being completely suppressed by spiritual power the night before.
Demon Slayer.
Tsk, there was actually a Demon Slayer in this world who had a tyrannical face. Even the first form of spiritual energy was fierce.
Don't you find it strange that a pirate is wearing a kasaya?
Was this guy really planning to become a monk in the future?
Prince Ren bent over the armrest and watched as Marui stood up.
"New partner?" he joked.
Marui snorted. "You're not in a position to say that."
"No, I'm not against it," Prince Ren said with a smile. "Does changing partners help build a comprehensive tennis system?"
Marui: "…"
"Why don't you sit over there?
Leaving Atobe alone in the middle of a group of high schoolers?
How about you be a little nicer to your temporary partner? "Marui said.
King Ren touched his ponytail with a backhand. "Puri ~"
Although he said something like "be a little nicer to your temporary partner," Marui himself didn't do that.
And his temporary partner was obviously similar to what he thought.
Loyalty?
Towards his current partner?
Their cooperation on the court was indeed natural and smooth, complementing each other to a surprising degree.
The surrounding praises kept coming, causing Sang Yuan's mood to fall.
Yanagi pushed up his glasses and comforted him half-heartedly. It's okay, they're just saying.
Weren't Prince Ren and Radical 145 also praised for playing well in doubles?
Kuwabara was very smart in this regard. He said that it was clearly Radical 145 and Radical 145 who were praised. Radical 145 and Tezuka.
Yanagi: "… Their abilities resonated."
"This doesn't sound like it requires as much tacit understanding as homology." Kuwabara was even more depressed. "Bunta and I don't even harmonize."
Yanagi: "…"
Okay, I can't comfort you anymore. I give up.
He stood up straight and glanced at Prince Ren, who was snickering, from the corner of his eye. He snorted and felt that he shouldn't comfort Kuwabara.
Feeling Kuwabara's depression made him feel better.
But the situation on the court quickly changed.
Wooden Hand, who suddenly "switched sides," and Marui, who resisted the pressure alone and used "Fantasy Fortress."
Marui, who was attacked from both sides, was very calm.
He was suddenly inspired to play a game with Wooden Hand yesterday, and decided to play a double game to see what they could do.
But on the way back, he met the bespectacled man opposite him, who said that he was negotiating something.
He said that he wanted to change partners?
Is "treachery" so popular these days?
And judging from the current situation, Wooden Hand probably accepted the same "persuasion."
Well, I wonder what kind of conditions that bespectacled senior offered Wooden Hand?
Pursuing the strong?
I, Marui Bunta, a genius from Tachikai University, am not weak!
But this way, I don't feel guilty.
Marui laughed self-deprecatingly, thinking that he had probably fulfilled a portion of Yukimura's expectations.
It was really tiring to play singles matches, but it wouldn't be more tiring than a 1v3 in doubles.
And after Marui's "Fantasy Fortress" shocked the spectators, the situation changed again.
Wooden Hand, who suddenly switched sides … Wait, what did "negotiations break down" mean?
"Bunta!"
The tennis ball hit the corner of Marui's eye.
It didn't hit his eye, but the blood flowing out and his swollen eyelid were treated urgently.
Could "Fantasy Fortress" still be used after losing sight on one side?
It was no longer a question of whether or not it could be used.
Prince Ren looked into Marui's eyes.
"So scary, our genius," he muttered to himself in a low voice.
Beside him, Yukimura heard a few words and chuckled.
Wooden Hand was still too soft-hearted.
Or rather, he forced himself to be cold and barbaric, but he still retained a bit of softness in his heart.
And Marui's every action touched Wooden Hand, who still hadn't become cold and indifferent.
Was this a form of mental misdirection?
It was hard to say, but Marui had already achieved his goal.
Whether it was trying to break through the barrier, trying to control the entire game, or accepting "negotiations" …
Even if he didn't know how to attack someone's knee, he had seen it so many times that there was no technical difficulty in doing it.
(And to be honest, as seniors, they had dealt with Akaya's irregular serves many times during the school's practice matches.) He just felt a bit sad when he saw Yuano fall onto the court while clutching his knee.
For who?
It probably wasn't for himself.
Marui remembered the previous afternoon.
He said that the immune system wasn't easy to recover from, but Yukimura didn't seem to need any further treatment at all.
So it was really rude to hastily say that he could help contact an American hospital.
But who knew?
It wasn't a bad thing to have a physical examination.
The person who was called the "Minister" and took on most of the responsibility of the tennis department never personally told them about Yukimura's illness.
How could he convince Yukimura to come to the United States for a few days and visit the hospital?
But since the senior in front of him said that he would solve everything, it shouldn't be difficult to convince Yukimura, right?
Marui glanced at Wooden Hand, who was covered in bruises and fell to the ground.
How stupid.
He thought.
Originally, he wanted to beat the high school student who schemed against his partner at his own game.
“Game
won
by
Yuano Tokyu, Kojima Udou, 6-3! "
"Total score 2-0!
Team 1, victory! "
However, when the score was announced, Yuano, who struggled to get up from the ground, took off his No. 8 badge.
He threw the badge over the net, then suddenly turned around to block Kojima, who was trying to come up.
"Let go of me!
I can walk the distance to the infirmary by myself! "
Marui blinked his exposed eye and suddenly wanted to eat gum.
So he took out a new one from his pocket, stuffed it into his mouth, and bent down to support Wooden Hand.
"You …"
"Don't try to be brave."
Marui said, "It's one thing to be able to walk by yourself, but it's embarrassing to limp to the infirmary by yourself."
Wooden Hand: "…"
"It makes you look like you're not popular." Marui laughed. "But you, you're a person worthy of being a true friend."
Wooden Hand: "…"
"Hey, Qi Tianlie, do you still want to play doubles with me?" Marui asked seemingly casually.
"Once is enough!" Wooden Hand closed his eyes and opened them again. The wounds on his body stung.
However, the person supporting him looked weak, but he had indomitable muscles and bones.
He probably underestimated him from the beginning.
"But to commemorate …" he said, "it's not bad to do it again."
Marui held Wooden Hand and walked away.
Kuwabara ran to the edge of the court. He wanted to follow, but he hesitated. He was impatient.
Yanagi couldn't stand it. He really wanted to say, "If you want to go, then go. If you don't want to stay, then stay and watch the game. You're just a doubles partner. Why are you acting like your girlfriend ran away?"
"You don't understand the feelings of a young Tamed Ran," Prince Ren said.
Yanagi wasn't surprised that Prince Ren had guessed his thoughts. After all, his expression was a bit obvious. "Young Tamed Ran?"
"Well, since the fourth grade of elementary school, they can only be considered childhood friends, right?" Prince Ren tilted his head. "It means that the real Tamed Ran's feelings are deeper."
The real Tamed Ran?
What did he mean?
Before Yanagi could ask, Yukimura smiled threateningly and called Prince Ren's name. "Masuharu."
Yanagi instantly had goosebumps.
Prince Ren shrunk his neck and hissed, "Yukimura, I'm not talking about you.
Tachibana and Qian Sui are also … "
"No." Qian Sui quickly said.
Qian Sui very quickly threw out a sentence from the back row. "Ju Ping and I only met when we entered middle school."
"Then there's the staff officer and Qian Jun …"
"I only met the doctor when I was in the second grade of elementary school," Liu quickly replied.
On the other hand, Qian pushed his glasses and opened his mouth. In the end, he didn't say anything.
"Then what about Radical 145 and Hua Di …"
White Stone, who had just returned, heard Prince Ren's series of examples before he sat down.
He was confused. "Huh?
Why are we talking about this topic?
Are we talking about how many years they've known each other? "
Yukimura smiled. "You might as well talk about Fuji and Mrs. Yu. They've known each other for a long time."
Fuji burst out laughing. "Yukimura, what are you saying …"
"Is it wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Fuji smiled and shook his head.
Prince Ren was silent for two seconds and decided to save himself. "Director, I'm praising you for your close relationship with the vice-director. You've worked hard for the Li Hai University Tennis Department …"
"Stop." Yukimura shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "It's just that Sanada isn't here."
It doesn't matter if he's here. It's not like he can make a move in public.
Prince Ren turned his head and stuck out his tongue. He didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
Meanwhile, the match between Ghost and Xiao Jin had begun.
Ghost, who was praised by White Stone as the best newcomer in Kanxi, exuded enthusiasm and strength. He entered a "seamless" state.
This was a match where the two of them fought to their heart's content, and the audience also watched to their heart's content.
Equality House couldn't help but cover his forehead. "Why does my old injury hurt so much today …"
Ghost, who defeated him two years ago …
Tsk, if it wasn't for those mermaids from the Dark Martial Arts Tournament who came looking for him, he wouldn't have been sent to the training camp before his injuries were healed, and his spiritual energy had gone berserk twice. How could he have lost to a ghost?
But a loss was a loss. There was no need to find excuses.
Spiritual Energy itself was a cheat.
Therefore, he couldn't win against Ghost in terms of pure tennis.
He looked at the eye-catching white-haired guy in the middle school team again.
Imp seemed to be more clear-headed than him on this point.
To what extent could one achieve with spiritual energy, and to what extent could one achieve without spiritual energy?
The doubles match just now … Hmph, it could be considered passable for the time being. As my scorer.
The high school students began to praise Ghost. For example, "He's the strongest in his first year", "He's been at the top for a long time, and he's considered himself the gatekeeper of court number five."
Equality House listened and snorted.
A group of naive people. Do they really think this world is peaceful?
Team Japan has me, that white-haired Imp over there, and that Imp who started to use magic on the court. Then, are the other countries all normal people?
Too naive. They don't even know how they died!
They were all brought out by Ghost!
Equality House took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He thought about it. Naivety had its benefits.
While Ghost and Xiao Jin were playing "happy tennis", Sanada and Yagyuzu, who had disappeared at some point, returned together.
Prince Ren glanced at them and suddenly straightened up.
