The Kanto Tournament has begun.
Zizhou was not in a hurry to return to the court. He thought that Kirihara would become the president of Rikkai University next year, and Kirihara's current task was to accumulate experience.
At the same time, when discussing with Liu, Liu did not expect Zizhou to think this way, and he also knew that Kirihara's ability was still a little lacking. But Zizhou's concession was beyond Liu's expectations.
"Okay, but Zizhou, you have to know that we can't always watch over Kirihara. Do you want to give in to him all the time?"
"Yes, yes, don't worry Liu, it's just that before the finals, I have no choice but to go on stage when it's my turn."
But I muttered in my heart: You are not yet, don't think I don't know that the most indulgent Kirihara is you, tut tut, I didn't expect you to be such a Liu.
Therefore, in the match against the dark horse Fudomine, it was Kirihara, not Zizhou, who was on the match roster.
"Eh? Is it me? Isn't Zizhou-senpai already the regular candidate?"
His big eyes were full of doubts. After all, with Senior Zizhou's strength, this game could completely serve as his opening show or comeback show.
Seeing the expectation revealed in his junior's nervousness, Zizhou rubbed his little head with amusement and said lovingly: "Kirhara, the captain of this match, Fudomine, plays violent tennis. He is a very suitable opponent for you. Senior, I am looking forward to our Kirhara's growth, so what does it matter if there is one more or one less game?"
"Yes! I will definitely defeat him, senpai. I will work hard with you!"
The firm and confident tone caused Niou and Marui to go up and express their relief fiercely.
The people from Fudo Mine on the side stared at Rikkai University with resentment, thinking that Rikkai University was looking down on them. One of the girls with the orange bob almost went up to argue with them, but was stopped by Fudo Mine's captain, Tachibana Yoshihei.
"Xiao Xing, don't be impatient. No matter how much you say, the truth will come out on the court."
"That's right, the people of Rikkai University are so arrogant. This time, let them see how powerful we, Fudomine, are!"
Kamio on the side quickly joined in.
After finally stabilizing Ju Xing, the game began.
But it must be said that Rikkai University is very strong. The first two rounds of doubles ended with 6-0. Looking at the faces of Fudomine and others on the opposite side, Kokihara's provocative spirit began to burn again.
"Hahahaha, I thought this Fudomine was so great, but it still lost to us. It's a dark horse, but I think it's just this level."
"You! Damn kelp-head."
"What? Damn it, I'll dye you red!" In an instant, Kirihara's eyes began to turn red and his hair began to turn white.
Seeing this, Zizhou hurriedly walked up to Kirihara, held his head with both hands, and stared into Kirihara's eyes with a serious face.
"Kirihara! Look at me. Tell me, are you so easily controlled by a demon? Is this the extent of your efforts?"
With his head pressed down and Senior Zizhou's voice in his ears, his confused mind finally came back to mind. The redness in his eyes began to fade.
The emerald dog looked at Zizhou, feeling aggrieved.
Everyone in the Rikkai community couldn't help but feel soft-hearted knowing their little kelp, and Marui jumped over to take Kirihara back from Zizu and patted him on the shoulder.
"Akaye, don't be sad. Your kelp head fits well, doesn't it? We've called each other that before."
"Hmph, is that something they can call out? Don't I, the ace, have any dignity?"
He didn't forget to turn his head to glare at the girl with the girl's haircut who called him "kelp head".
"Well, let's let them know your strength as the ace of the tennis club and shut them up with your strength. It just so happens that your opponent is the club leader of Fudomine. Since it was his sister and club members who caused the trouble, let him take the responsibility."
Niou rubbed Kirihara's kelp head until it almost became a mess.
"Ahhh, Niou-senpai, my hairstyle!"
"Alright Nioh, Kirihara's solo against three is about to begin."
"Yes, Vice Minister."
At the critical moment, Sanada prevented the ensuing farce.
"Well, Sanada is really boring. It's more fun to be a partner." After saying that, he ran towards Yagyu who was standing next to him.
After the game started, Liu couldn't stop doubting his own data. Why was it that Tachibana, once one of the two heroes of Kyushu, was like a cat without claws and had such uncoordinated movements?
There is no way that Qieyuan can get any exercise! Alas, I made a mistake. It seems I have to choose a new candidate.
As expected, what Sanada said was right, we were too lax!
"elder brother!"
"minister!"
While dodging Kirihara's ball, Tachibana Yoshihei twisted his foot and was sweating from the pain.
The final result was that Rikkai University won with an absolute advantage of 3-0, but Tachibana's sister had a look of resentment on her face, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off Kirihara.
Zizhou and Yanagi Ippo stood in front of Kirihara, and Zizhou looked at the indignant girl seriously.
"Tachibana-san, please don't look at our juniors like that. Injuries are inevitable on the court, and our Kirihara didn't hit your brother. It was your brother who twisted his ankle without paying attention. Don't blame Kirihara. Don't you agree, Tachibana-san?"
This was the first time that Ju Xing encountered someone with such a strong aura. She was so scared that she couldn't stop crying and turned around and ran away.
Not to mention Ju Xing, even the people from Rikkai University who spent every day with him were seeing Zizhou like this for the first time. It was as if they were being manipulated by a wire and they felt speechless.
I saw that everyone looked stunned, as if they had never seen the world before.
"What? Are you all stupid?"
"Senior Zizhou, you were so imposing just now, I didn't dare to say anything."
"Silly boy, no matter what, you are our lovely junior. It is not someone else's turn to say irresponsible things. All you have to do is be yourself. If you are right, don't blame yourself. No one will be responsible for anyone else. Remember?"
"Yeah! I'll remember that. Thank you, Senior Zizhou."
"Pfft, Zizhou is Zizhou, but you were really good just now. Sanada, why don't you learn from me? I think you can intimidate many people."
"Niou, you've been too lax. We'll have to double the training for the next week!"
"Puh, partner, save me~"
“Serves you right!”
Niou looked hurt and made a bitter face.
This made everyone laugh and the atmosphere became lively.
On the way back, he refused to get off Yagyu's shoulders, and Yagyu had no choice but to let Nioh do what he wanted.
In order to tell Yukimura the news that they had won the game, everyone decided to go to the hospital to see Yukimura.
"Busan! We came to see you. We won the county competition. Hehe, Fudomine is so weak. We defeated him in just a few moves..."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the smile on Yukimura's face, who was sitting on the bed, became more genuine, and he listened lovingly to Kirihara's description of the game.
But Sanada couldn't stand Kirihara's chattering, so he went up and gave him a fist of love.
Bang-
"It's so noisy, be quiet in the hospital!"
"Yes~ Vice Minister."
Humph, the deputy minister's voice is louder than mine!
Yukimura looked at them with amusement. With this group of teammates, life became colorful.
