The referee seemed to have deliberately pronounced the last few words in a particularly powerful and long manner.
The air in the venue suddenly stagnated because of the arrival of these four words.
The next second, without anyone starting the conversation, the scene became filled with outrage.
"Hmm??? Who's the second singles player?"
"Say it again? Who?"
"Is the referee sure he didn't pronounce the name wrong?"
"Are you sure this name isn't a joke? Yukimura??!!!"
"Is it really Yukimura Seiichi? Is it the Yukimura Seiichi who is the son of God that we know?"
"Yukimura Seiichi actually came to play singles against two, what on earth was Rikkai University thinking!"
This was the thought of the spectators watching the tennis match. If they were just shocked, then this news was shocking for other teams who came to watch the game.
Shitenhoji - Shiraishi and Chitose's pupils constricted, and after looking at each other, they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"What on earth does Rikkai University want to do?" Shiraishi didn't understand. "Did they place Yukimura here just to win? But according to their strength, it's totally unnecessary!" Shiraishi thought carefully. If they really wanted to win, they changed Yukimura to singles No. 2. This is a bit ugly, as if they would do anything to win in the end! What's more, Seigaku doesn't have that level to make them so afraid! Although Seigaku is strong, Rikkai University is stronger!
After Bai Shi finished speaking, he realized that Qiansui had not spoken, "Qianli, what do you think?"
"I have a bad feeling in my heart--" Chitose looked at Niou Masaharu, who was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed and looking calm and composed, with a sharp gaze. He suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. "Shiraishi, do you think there is a possibility that--" What about Niou?
"What?" Shiraishi didn't get Chitose's point.
"Nothing." This was just his shallow guess, Chitose was not sure yet. So...
Ice emperor.
Oshitari thought about it and called Atobe directly, "Moshi Moshi, Minister Atobe~ Rikkai University's second singles player this time actually sent Yukimura Seiichi to play, did you know about this?"
"What?" Atobe, who was watching Echizen Ryoma's recovery match in a tennis court outside the court, frowned, "Tell me again, who is the second singles player?" If Yukimura Seiichi is the second singles player, then who will be the first singles player of Rikkai University? That jumpy Nioh? This style doesn't match! What is Yukimura thinking?
"Singles two, Yukimura-Seichi!"
Since Atobe was not sure whether the news was true or not, he turned on the speaker, so everyone who came to help Echizen Ryoma heard this, including Sanada.
The next second, many people were looking forward to Sanada's reaction, but they found that Sanada was just staring at the field from beginning to end without frowning.
"Sanada——" Atobe tried to get information.
"I don't know!" Sanada said honestly. He was telling the truth, he really didn't know anything about this. However, what he didn't say was that although he didn't know, he was not surprised by this result...
I believe that no one in Rikkai University will be surprised, because Nioh’s strength has long been beyond the expectations of the rest of them!
From the moment Nioh defeated him with a score of 6-2, Nioh already had a unique position in Rikkai University. Like Yukimura, he became another pillar of Rikkai University's tennis club.
This is also the reason why Rikkai University tennis team was able to adjust quickly after Yukimura fell ill and survived the most turbulent period without any waves. Because there was a strong person behind them who supported them to move forward.
——And that person is Nioh!
Therefore, don't tell him that Nioh will play singles now. If you tell him now that Nioh got this singles by defeating Yukimura, he won't be surprised at all.
Because this guy has the talent and the strength!
…
Compared to the commotion outside the stadium, everyone in the Youth Academy inside the stadium was even more shocked.
Coach Ryuzaki was no longer as relaxed as before, "We are really in danger this time!" Fuji Shusuke is playing against Rikkai University's Yukimura Seiichi. To put it bluntly, there is not even a chance of winning.
"Does God really not want us to win the championship?" Why does God set up so many obstacles on their road to the championship, making their journey so difficult?
Coach Ryuzaki was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Tezuka..." Oishi's eyes were filled with sadness. "What do you think of Fuji..."
Tezuka hugged his shoulders and said nothing, but his expression was very ugly.
But not two——
Looking at Yukimura Seiichi who was also smiling gently with his eyes narrowed, he frowned.
"Fuji-kun, you look very unhappy!" Yukimura was a little happy. The other party's reaction really pleased him. At this moment, he was really grateful that he had done a good job of keeping it a secret, otherwise he would not have seen such interesting reactions from the people around him...
This is an ending and a beginning that no one... no one expected. Haha, not bad, not bad, this is in line with Rikkai University! It would be so boring if we always let these people guess!
Facing Fuji Shusuke who was frowning and thinking deeply, Yukimura showed a vicious smile like a hunter. For him now, Fuji Shusuke was his best prey——
The second singles competition officially begins.
…
Niou was dozing with his eyes closed, motionless as a mountain. He didn't even open his eyes to watch Yukimura's game.
Feeling the gazes coming from all around, Takigawa Masaki frowned, "Maji, what's going on? Why do I feel like they're all looking at you?"
Before, he only knew that the school where Masaharu Niou was attending had won the national championship for two consecutive years, which was very impressive. He also knew that all the regular players in this school, including Masaharu Niou, were national-level players. He didn't know much more.
"They are just bored! MASA-san, don't worry about them!" Niou said without even opening his eyes, "This match will be over soon, the doubles match will be even more exciting!"
Takigawa Masaki: ...Is that so?
Niou: ...Yes, I am innocent in this matter!
