but……
Yagyu looked at Nioh with dark eyes. His intuition told him that even if Feng's success rate in hitting the soul reached 100% one day and he met Nioh, Nioh would definitely have a way to deal with this trick!
But now - Nioh doesn't seem to want to show this trick... Is it that the three of them are not worthy of Nioh's desperate trump card?
Yagyu clenched his racket tightly, unwilling to be looked down upon by his partner. This was the kind of pressure he had never felt in the golf club. He made the right choice to choose the tennis club!
Niou Masaharu, just wait! One day I will make you fight me with all your strength!
…
45-30.
The score is 6-4.
Rikkai University wins.
The first doubles match ended without any suspense. After losing the game, Shishido and Feng looked at Atobe's ugly face and thought they would be scolded. Unexpectedly, Atobe said nothing and asked them to find a coach!
Shishido did not give up and asked, "No punishment?" Hyotei has always been the one that only the winner is qualified to sit down peacefully, and the loser will be punished.
Atobe sighed, "It's not your fault that we lost the game this time..." It was indeed because Feng and Shishido were not strong enough, and the goal did not play the role it should have.
In addition, with Nioh around, Atobe knew the outcome of the game, so he was not disappointed.
Atobe pondered, feeling that Nioh had changed drastically this year compared to last year! He must be hiding something...
Atobe had a bad feeling in his heart... He was thinking that he should discuss it with Coach Sakaki. When they meet Rikkai University in the Kanto Tournament, should he let Oshitari and the others play as doubles team two and give Nioh a try?
…
On the other hand, Shishido and Feng, who lost the game, did not receive criticism from Atobe, and Niou and Yagyu, who won the game, did not receive praise from Yukimura.
In Yukimura's words, that is -
"We could have won the game 6-2, but they had to drag it to 6-4." Although he knew that Niou was trying to get along with Yagyu, Yukimura was still unhappy when he saw the score.
In response, Nioh could only say: You are the minister, you have the final say! Anyway, he can never achieve a 6-0 score like Yukimura.
Kirihara was listening to Yukimura training Niou and thought to himself, it turns out that Rikkai University attaches so much importance to the score. Should he work hard to make his scores better in the future so as not to be criticized by Director Yukimura?
Therefore, in the pursuit of score, the future Kirihara went further and further away...
…
Doubles one.
On the Rikkai University side, they are Marui and Kuwabara, and on the Hyotei side, they are undoubtedly Oshitari and Mukai who is called a girl with a little sister's hair by Nioh.
Speaking of Xiangri, Yagyu couldn't help but lean over to take a look, and then -
"Well, I didn't lie to you, it's a girl with a straight hair style!" As soon as Niou saw Yagyu's expression, he knew that he was looking at Xiangri.
Yagyu: ...was his expression that obvious?
"Niou-kun, who do you think will win this match?" Yagyu changed the subject.
"…Let's just leave them alone!" After thinking for a while, Nioh gave the answer.
Yagyu raised an eyebrow. It wasn't Marui? Didn't trust his teammates?
"It's the difference in strength. Marui is very powerful. In terms of personal strength, he is stronger than Mukai, but Kuwabara has not yet reached the standard..." And Oshina - is Hyotei's second in command!
Just like their previous game, there was one person whose strength was superior to the other three, and that person would decide which side would win the game...
Compared to the nearly two-hour match in Nioh, the one-hour doubles match was considered short.
that is--
"Oh, what a pity. We lost 6-4!" Marui cried with a look of grief.
"..." Ren Wang thought, what a drama queen, he can really act. "Okay, hold it back a bit!" There are so many people watching, if he's just acting, that's too much!
In the end, Kirihara went for the singles match.
Niou also knew about this arrangement. After all, it was just a practice match and there was no need to play according to the normal routine. Just like he and Yagyu regarded this game as a test of their tacit understanding with each other.
Letting Kirihara play singles against three is also to train him...
Otherwise, if we go by singles strength, even without counting Nioh, Kirihara wouldn’t even be ranked in the top five.
but……
"In the one-on-one match, have you and Sanada decided who will play?" Nioh asked.
Mori-senpai is already making preparations, and it looks like Yukimura has finally decided to let Mori-senpai play singles versus doubles.
"——I." Yukimura said, "Sanada already fought with Atobe last time, so it's time for me to give it a try!"
The singles match three begins, and Kirihara's opponent is a first-year student named Hiyoshi Waka.
"Don't underestimate him, he is the champion of the JR tournament that came after us." Seeing that Niou had been staring at Hiyoshi, Liu told him the news about Hiyoshi.
"Puh~JR Tournament!" What a familiar name! The champions of the JR Tournament are all famous figures. For example, Yukimura!
"What about our Kirihara?" Kirihara is an avid tennis fan, and Niou doesn't believe that he won't participate in the competition.
Liu sighed, "Kirihara said he overslept and took the wrong bus, so he missed the game~" This is really a reason that no one can refuse!
The reason is very original!
Ren Wang decided to give a thumbs up to his juniors, excellent~
but--
"..." Niou narrowed his eyes and looked at Hiyoshi Waka. He always felt that there was a strange aura about this guy, which made him a little concerned.
"Liu, do you know what Riji's family does?" If you don't understand, just ask. Of course, the military advisor knows the most.
"Do you think I'm an information dealer? You ask me about something like this?" However, despite complaining like this, Liu still flipped through his notes, just in case he had written it down.
Unexpectedly, he still found it——
Ancient martial arts dojo!
Ren Wang understood. It was a martial arts dojo. No wonder there was an aura about him that made him concerned.
Should he visit Hiyoshi's house sometime to see what's going on? And learn some ancient martial arts while he's at it.
"Is there anything about this Hiyoshi that concerns you?" Liu found that Renwang had been staring at him.
"Looking at his playing style, it seems that he has combined the ancient martial arts he has practiced with tennis..." Niou sighed, saying that the kids nowadays are smarter than each other. "If he can perfectly combine his ancient martial arts with tennis, this Hiyoshi will be Kirihara's biggest enemy!"
Liu quickly wrote it down. "Are you planning to train him as your future successor by releasing him now?"
It's the same reason why they let Kirihara play in this match.
Maybe! Ren Wang thought, but deep down, he was more concerned about Hiyoshi's family...
I'm in Tokyo now, why don't I visit him tomorrow?
