"Oh my God, is this the president of Fudomine? So gentle and handsome." Shiba Saori's eyes lit up, and she covered her mouth with one hand, standing there in a daze. She came back to her senses after being reminded by Inoue Mamoru, and shook hands with Kamishiro Lan to say hello.
He is indeed one of the most love-crazy characters in the original work.
Kamishiro Ai signaled for the game to continue, and then had a brief chat with Inoue Mamoru.
Tennis journalists are welcome in every academy, and the news they write can help boost the popularity of the academy.
This is crucial for Fudofeng at this stage.
You know, Fudomine's popularity has dropped to the point where even students in his own school don't support the tennis club.
"Kamiyo-san, with the background of the Kamishiro Group, you can actually join a school with a better chance of winning the championship. Why did you choose Fudomine in the end?" Inoue Mamoru asked the question in his mind.
There are too many academies to choose from in the Kanto region, and considering the relationship between the Kamishiro Group and the Atobe family, it makes sense to choose Hyotei.
"Because I have an agreement with Tachibana." Kamishiro Lan smiled and replied: "Besides, it is very interesting to lead an underdog junior high school to win the championship."
This is the reason!
Inoue Mamoru was surprised by Kamishiro Ai's confidence.
He had interviewed countless tennis club captains in the past, but had never heard a reason similar to Kamishiro Lan's.
Instead of joining the strong and competing for the championship, he preferred to lead the weak to win the championship. What confidence he showed.
But, it's a bit... arrogant.
Arrogant.
This was the first word that came to Inoue Mamoru's mind.
However, Kamishiro Lan's confidence reminded him of someone.
The tennis legend who had never lost a game decades ago, Echizen Nanjiro.
But if you want to win the national championship, confidence alone is not enough.
Does Fudomine have any hidden cards?
Seeing Inoue Mamoru's confusion, Kamishiro Ai did not explain.
To be precise, Mamoru Inoue will understand after watching the game.
At this time, the game on Court No. 1 was about to end.
With Kamio Akira's quick attack, the score came to 4-1, with Kamio Akira taking the lead.
But those who were paying close attention noticed that Kamio Akira's pace was not as fast as before, and his body was covered in sweat.
On the other hand, although Ibu Shinji was also sweating profusely, his pace remained steady, and the physical energy he consumed with each counterattack was far less than that of Kamio Akira.
"Instant paralysis!" After a backspin return, the ball flew towards Kamio Akira at a slower speed.
"Opportunity!" Kamio Akira immediately came to the landing point and raised his racket.
The next moment, Kamio Akira's body froze in place, allowing the tennis ball to bounce out of the court.
"Game, 4-2."
"Tsk, that skill again? It doesn't matter, I'll speed up the tempo." Kamio Akira rubbed his wrist unhappily, but his expression was very serious.
"Hey, why can't Kamio Akira even return this ball?" Shiba Saori asked puzzledly.
Inoue Mamoru frowned.
Even though he has been a tennis fan for decades, he couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Is it some kind of ball skill?" He looked at Kamishiro Lan, hoping for an explanation.
"This is Shinji Ibu's instant paralysis. Through the continuous topspin and slice shots, the opponent's muscles atrophy and become paralyzed."
"This is a very interesting skill, but it's not mature yet." Inoue Mamoru noticed that although Kamio Akira was at a disadvantage, he was still able to score points. Ibu Shinji often needed at least twenty balls to cause a momentary paralysis.
"Yes, control is the style that suits him best. But now he has not realized that the game is almost over." Kamishiro Lan chuckled and nodded.
After using the instant paralysis, Ibu Shinji began to counterattack.
Although Kamio Akira had the previous four points as an advantage, anyone could see that Ibu Shinji, who had more physical strength, had the upper hand.
The balance of victory also began to tilt towards Ibu Shinji.
"Game, 4-3."
"Game, 4-4."
"Game, 5-4, Kamio Akira is leading."
"Game, 5-5."
In the end, the game went into a tiebreak, where Shinji Ibu won with a score of 14:12.
Kamio Akira's physical strength had long been exhausted, and he was only relying on his willpower to hold on.
After the game, Kamishiro Lan had a rough understanding of the two.
"Kichihei Tachibana vs. Ai Kamishiro Ai." As the referee announced, Ai Kamishiro Ai took out her iconic cross racket and walked towards the center of the court.
"The battle between the current and former ministers of Fudomine has begun, Saori..." Inoue Mamoru said with a serious face.
"I know, senior, I will take a lot of pictures." Shiba Saori raised the camera in her hand, revealing a crazy look on her face: "He is so handsome and has such a gentle personality. His playing style must be very gentle too."
"The game begins." The referee announced.
"I wonder who will win the contest between the minister and the vice-minister." Completely exhausted, Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu supported each other as they sat on chairs, staring at the field.
"It's the Buchou's game! Sorry! Swinging ball!" The little fanboy Ishida Tetsu roared, won the game directly, and quickly came to the stands.
.......
In the field.
"Kamiyo, please don't show mercy." Tachibana Jiping took a deep breath and looked at Kamishiro Lan with serious eyes.
He knew very well that he needed to fall into a completely desperate situation so that he could find his former self and even become stronger.
"For the national competition!" Tachibana Jiping clenched the racket in his hand.
