"Although this painstaking effort may require hard work to build up..."
Once Niou leaves the field and becomes the doubles first, it means that few people will be able to successfully defend in the final match, so naturally, he will feel a little panicked.
but--
Fortunately, there was more than one strong person in their team; there was someone who could stand there and intimidate everyone.
...
Niou's actions not only threw his own team into chaos, but also left the opposing team dumbfounded.
"Wait... isn't this the captain of the Japanese team? What kind of captain goes down to the field and stands in that position to play now?"
The French team was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? How could they not understand, not see clearly, what exactly was happening?
What they imagined was completely different; this was a whole new story. Doubles against one, Niou Masaharu?
This powerful captain is going to fight in a doubles match, and he's even teaming up with a terrifying demon like Oni Jujiro. Who can possibly defeat them?
"No matter who we send in, we simply can't win this game—"
For them, this game was practically a free win.
"Don't despair too soon, there's still hope. Don't forget they're just a temporary doubles pair, and they're still not as well-trained as us doubles players. If you give up hope now, it will be even more difficult when the match comes."
As the captain of the French team, Camus knew he had to stay calm. Although unexpected events were occurring frequently, there was still hope of winning.
if only……
“You guys…” He looked at the two team members behind him.
"I understand, Captain. We won't let you down so easily. They're just two strong opponents. We've faced similar adversity situations before. We'll definitely hold our own in this half of the game."
This game was easy to win, since it was obvious to anyone that the two opponents had no experience playing together. The singles player, after calming down, realized that although he had experience in doubles, he hadn't played doubles since coming to the U17 competition.
The general understanding of him is that he's okay at doubles, but not necessarily very strong.
so……
There is still a chance—
"I think there's only one way: deal with one of them first, then crush the other. No matter how strong he is, he can't take on both of us at the same time."
His inability to withstand the pressure may not mean he lacks the opportunity and chance to win.
When the opportunity arises, as long as you seize it firmly and hold onto everything, there is still a chance.
"You guys might have a tough time this round; these two are really tough to deal with—"
The blond man sighed. He knew some things were difficult, but there was no other way; things had come to this point and there was no room for retreat.
"Haha, Captain, we understand—"
The two men patted him on the shoulder and left the stage laughing.
Those so-called fear jokes—they are, after all, members of a national team. How could they be so deeply afraid of such things?
Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the country, to the training they received, and to all the hardships they endured along the way. It's just a little tougher, not that we can't win at all.
...
"Did you see their expressions?" This question was, of course, asked by Niou himself.
The guy across from me, Oni Jujiro, doesn't seem like the kind of person who's good with words, and I don't like talking to him.
"Hmm!" Oni Jujiro glanced at the two Law Team members leaving the arena but didn't say much. He was quite familiar with these two; after all, he had seen their performance in the last battle. One was tall, the other short; one was strong, the other thin; their teamwork was excellent, but...
"We can simply use force to completely overwhelm them this time, and break through everything!"
This is Oni Jujiro's opinion. After all, the two of them have almost no experience playing doubles together. In such a doubles battle, they are at a disadvantage. The most important thing to do is to make the most of their strengths and try to avoid other risks.
Playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses... that's the smart choice.
However, his suggestion was rejected by Niou.
"If the goal is simply to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, then there's really no need for you to participate in the match. I can just use Byodoin Phoenix instead—"
The ultimate goal of this game is to showcase strength. The strength of the Japanese team!
"Just play your usual style, don't worry about so much, just play however you want—"
His words startled Oni Jujiro, who was even more puzzled. "Is what you're saying different from what I was thinking before?"
That's about playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses. Let each of them utilize their advantages in their respective fields. For example, if someone is good at singles, let them unleash their full potential in singles and use their absolute strength to intimidate their opponent and win the match.
What's the difference?
"The difference is that this is your playing style, while my playing style is not entirely about intimidation and pressure!"
"Your Majesty smiled."
One goal of today's match is to win; another is to demonstrate my full strength; and the third is to show the world my full power.
One of the two matches was used to showcase Oni Jujiro, while the other match was used to showcase him.
"I understand what you mean. You can do whatever you want, and I'll do whatever I want. So, for the first round, I'll play by my rules—"
Oni Jujiro prefers to strike after the enemy has acted, and he likes to make the first choice. Since Niou has given him this choice, he will boldly innovate.
"good!"
Niou had no objections; he always preferred to act later. If Oni Jujiro wanted to do it, let him. He could handle the rest. As for the final outcome of this match, well, there's only ever been one outcome: they would be the ultimate victors!
Although it sounds arrogant, that's exactly what it is; he has the strength and confidence to be so arrogant.
On this field, no one can stop him from doing what he wants.
In the past, perhaps everything was beyond redemption, but from today onward, as long as he stands on this field, in any region, in any location, he will be able to achieve final victory.
