Prince of Tennis: A tennis legend that started from signing in

Chapter 198 Niou Yukimura came, and Atobe Keigo was dumbfounded

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Inside Tokyo Metropolitan Green Forest Tennis Park.

The Kanto Tournament semi-finals are about to begin.

At this moment.

The auditorium was packed.

So many people stood at the back and squeezed in to look at it.

Quite literally.

This is definitely the highest audience in the history of the Neon Kanto Tournament.

"The Hyotei Academy team versus the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team. I wonder if the new emperor will prevail, or will the old king be immortalized in history?"

"Honestly, Rikkai University now has a king, three giants, and four elites. I really can't imagine them losing."

"Don't underestimate Hyotei either. If we're just talking about the number of tennis club members, Hyotei and Rikkai University definitely have the most members among the Japanese private junior high schools. Plus, Hyotei has a lot of resources. Even if they didn't stand up to Rikkai University in the past two years, that doesn't mean Hyotei isn't strong this year."

"Yes! As for the second round of the Kanto Tournament, the Hyotei Academy team finished the game the fastest."

"..."

Amidst the huge crowd, discussions were heard one after another.

Some people are optimistic about Hyotei Academy, while others are optimistic about Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School.

But in comparison, the latter is obviously better.

And in this noisy and bustling stadium, a uniform sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the stadium.

It was as if a powerful teacher was about to appear.

All the sounds stopped abruptly as if the pause button had been pressed.

ta ta ta ......

next moment.

Facing the morning sunshine, the Hyotei Academy team walked in led by Keigo Atobe.

Although his hair has grown a little now, he still looks like he has a buzz cut.

but.

On the contrary, it appears more masculine.

in the audience.

"Hyotei is much stronger than he was during the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament!"

"If before they were like a group of arrogant, immature teenagers, now they are like an iron-blooded army under military management."

Inoue Mamoru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At the same time, quickly pick up the camera and start shooting.

"The Iron-Blooded Division?"

"I wonder what kind of sparks will fly when we face the King's Master head-on?"

Shiba Saori's face was serious as she murmured softly to herself.

After such a long period of experience, she has gradually adapted to the job of a reporter.

I no longer make hasty conclusions based solely on my own preferences as I did before.

For this change.

Inoue Mamoru standing by nodded with satisfaction.

And just the next second.

Suddenly, cheers like a wave broke out in the stadium.

"King Li Hai is here!"

immediately.

Teams wearing yellow uniforms with black and white stripes walked in from the entrance one after another.

Compared to the Hyotei Academy team.

The Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team, on the other hand, gave off a feeling of confidence and authority.

For an instant.

The same term involuntarily emerged in everyone's mind - [Teacher of the King]!

Kitagawa, who was walking in front, had a sunny smile on his face, followed by Genichirō Sanada, Seiichi Yukimura, and Renji Yanagi with calm expressions.

Niou Masaharu, Yagyu Hiroshi, Marui Bunta, and Jackal Kuwahara all had different expressions.

It can be said that he has a distinct personality, yet is also intimidating.

Let’s not talk about that for now.

After the two teams entered the venue, shook hands, and returned to the waiting area.

This is the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

"Yukimura-senpai, Niou-senpai."

"Leave it to you."

He glanced at the Hyotei Academy team, who were sharpening their swords, and Atobe Keigo, who made no secret of his fighting spirit.

Kitagawa spoke softly to Yukimura Seiichi and Niou Masaharu with a half-smile.

"Yes!"

"Minister~!"

The two of them nodded with a smile.

Then we walked towards the stadium.

It can be said.

In this first game, the doubles match started with a king bomb.

Although Niou Masaharu is not among the big three.

But now it has already entered the national level.

Two national-level doubles teams, not to mention the mental tennis pro Seiichi Yukimura.

Quite literally.

The doubles combination of these two can definitely dominate the doubles team of Neon Junior High School.

This is the Hyotei Academy team.

"Lenzu, Yue Ren."

"Let's give Hyotei a magnificent first victory!"

Atobe Keigo stared straight ahead at the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

He spoke in a deep voice to Oshizuka Yuushi and Mukai Taketo.

"Atobe..."

Akutagawa Jiro on the side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In the end, he swallowed his words.

【Why......】

[It seems like no one has looked at the published list of competitors.]

If Atobe knew that Kitagawa didn't play, wouldn't he be furious?

He was worried in his heart and sighed silently for the Hyotei Academy team.

of course.

It’s no wonder that Keigo Atobe didn’t look at the public list of opponents.

After all, in his opinion, Beichuan would definitely fight him.

Unfortunately.

No matter how much I thought about it, I still didn't expect it to be like this.

Just the next moment.

"Drip drip!"

"What we're going to do next is—"

"The first game of the Kanto tournament semi-finals, doubles match two."

"The Hyotei Academy team's players, Yuushi Oshitari and Takehito Mukai, will compete against the Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School team's players, Seiichi Yukimura and Masaharu Niou."

"Both teams, please take your positions!"

The referee on the podium blew the whistle directly.

A split second of effort.

The whole place was dead silent!

An uproar ensued.

Apparently most people don't pay much attention to publicity.

After all, it’s really hard to get a seat!

"What?! Rikkai University actually arranged the son of God, Yukimura Seiichi, to compete in the doubles match? Are they trying to blow Hyotei through?"

"Oh my goodness! The opening move is a king bomb. Is this how the king, Rikkai University, wants to defeat the Sixteen Hegemons of Kanto?"

"Didn't you see the announced roster? The first doubles match, in doubles two, features Rikkai University's Big Three, Yukimura Seiichi. Then, in doubles one, one of the Big Three, Yanagi Renji, is also in doubles one. And, in singles three, one of the Big Three, Sanada Genichirō!"

"..."

Everyone was shocked by the playing arrangements of the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

Ah!

This also includes the Hyotei Academy team and Keigo Atobe.

"what?!"

All of a sudden.

Atobe Keigo frowned and immediately turned his gaze to Kitagawa.

As if trying to see through the other person's intentions.

"Uh......"

"Atobe."

"If I say that the second match is Yanagi Renji and the third match is Sanada Genichirō."

"Will you get angry?"

At this time, Jiro Akutagawa smacked his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Just the moment the words fell.

Atobe Keigo was stunned on the spot.
