Soon, it was time for the quarter-finals.

This time, coach Taro Sakaki, who had not appeared in the coaching booth since the Hyotei game, finally showed up.

"Are you ready?"

He sat in the coaching booth on the sidelines, put two fingers together and flicked them forward, making a cool "go" gesture.

He said in a deep voice: "Then go!"

"Yes, Coach!"

The first match was the singles three match. Hyotei sent out the first-year player Akutagawa Jiro, and the opponent sent out the second-year player Hiyama Osamu.

Jiro Akutagawa walked forward excitedly, holding a tennis racket.

After the coin toss, you get the right to serve.

"Hyotei serves, Akutagawa serves."

Jilang stood at the baseline with a smile on his face. After the referee blew the whistle, he first served with a topspin and then quickly came to the net.

He intercepted the tennis ball that was returned by the opponent and hit it quickly, accurately and fiercely in front of the opponent's net, while the senior student was still at the baseline and had no time to reach the net.

"Hyoutei Akutagawa 15-0."

"Dong~" Jiro served the ball again and aimed at the opponent's left baseline, forcing the opponent to stop attacking and rescue the ball first.

Then, a gleam of light flashed in Jilang's eyes, and he used the net-front interception again. With a flexible turn of his wrist, he intercepted the opponent's bullet shot and slammed the tennis ball heavily in the front court!

"Hyoutei Akutagawa 30-0."

"Hyoutei Akutagawa 40-0."

"Hyodei wins this game, the score is 1-0."

After Jiro Akutagawa quickly won the serve, the senior student on the opposing team was obviously a little panicked.

Then in his serve game, he made double errors. The first ball did not cross the net, and the second ball flew directly out of the court!

"Hoosh (whistle) ~ Home run? Hahaha..."

Someone outside the stadium whistled loudly and laughed.

"Hyoutei Akutagawa, 2-0!"

The senior on the opposite side was obviously more nervous, and even his originally calm and steady approach to catching the ball began to become flustered.

"Isn't this too lame? Why is he panicking?"

Oshitari Yuushi stroked his chin and guessed, "This should be his first time participating in a formal competition."

Mukai Taketo rolled his eyes: "What do Teiko Junior High School think of us? How dare they use Jiro to train the newbies??"

"Speaking of which, Teikou Junior High School's basketball team is more famous, but I didn't expect the tennis team to be pretty good too."

Atobe Keimitsu rarely spoke up and agreed: "Well, the basketball club is very good." After all, Xiao Zheng played there.

Seeing the surprised looks of Oshitari and the others, Kagemitsu, who usually doesn't participate in gossip, turned his eyes away and looked at Akutagawa, and changed the subject abruptly.

"The opponent lacks endurance and is stronger than Jilang in physical strength, but Jilang is still stronger in overall strength."

"That's right."

The slow-witted Mukaito nodded repeatedly, but suddenly got stuck halfway through. He reacted a beat late: "Just... Jingguang talked to us just now? On his own initiative?" And it was a gossipy topic like this?

Yuushi Oshizuka turned his face away and tried hard to suppress his laughter: Haha - I have to hold it in!

Mukai Taketo looked at Atobe Keimitsu in disbelief, as if he was suspecting that the person in front of him was being impersonated by something.

Atobe Kagemitsu: “…”

Atobe Kagemitsu puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction and looked at his brother.

If his brother hadn't told him last night to communicate more with the other regulars, he wouldn't have wanted to talk!!

Humph╭(╯^╰)╮!

A hint of smile flashed across Atobe Keigo's eyes, but he didn't dare to let his brother see it.
