Because of Yukimura's return, everyone in the tennis club worked harder. Even the regular reserve players and second-year students who usually didn't come here would come and ask Yukimura for advice.
But the regular players of the tennis club are not the ones who will let others monopolize Yukimura's attention. There is Sanada who guards Yukimura like a guardian angel, Yanagi who occasionally lends a hand but is actually collecting data, Marui Kuwabara who is reliable and will help when he meets someone, Kirihara who is often jealous and noisy, Niou Yagyu who likes to take advantage of troubled waters and play pranks, and Zizhou who is keen on giving instructions and watching the show.
Sometimes Zizhou couldn't help but marvel at Yukimura's courage. After all, this group of problem children was really difficult to manage. When Yukimura was not around, Zizhou felt a headache just to assist them.
In such an excited state, Rikkai University welcomed the finals of the Kanto Tournament.
Many schools will come to investigate and learn from the Kanto finals, and even the Tennis Association will send people to record data and discover talented talents.
"There are so many people here today. I wonder how the strength of Seigakuin has improved after a week's postponement? Kirihara should watch carefully this time!"
Zizhou was looking forward to this match, not only because it was his first match after his comeback, but also because it was a declaration match for everyone to stand on the court together after Yukimura's return.
"I get it, Senior Zizhou is really long-winded. It's just that Qingxue is really noisy. It's their loss that they can't see the heroic figure of my ace, humph!"
"Yoyoyo, Kirihara is depressed. All hail, senior will win the victory as well as yours."
Marui patted Kirihara's shoulder, and as he spoke, his gum bubble came out and he made a cool scissors hand gesture.
Before the game started, Yukimura gave his usual pre-match speech. The Rikkai University team uniform jacket draped over his shoulders fluttered in the wind, completely bringing Yukimura's momentum to the highest level.
"Everyone, after a long period of hard work, we have reached the finals of the Kanto Tournament, Kanto Ten, everyone?"
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
………
"Ah! Rikkai University is so powerful! Hey! Is that their president - Yukimura Seiichi? Didn't they say he's in the hospital? And who is that? Has he ever competed before?"
The surprised voice of Horio, one of the three little ones from Seigaku, attracted everyone in Seigaku. He pushed his reflective glasses, flipped through the notebook in his hand, and leisurely told everyone the information he had found.
"According to the information I found, the chance of Yukimura, who is called the 'Son of God' but the head of Rikkai University, recovering is 86.78%. It seems that he is still in the recuperation period. The chance of participating in this competition is 23.5%, so there is no need to worry about Yukimura's elimination."
The cheerleaders Tomoka and Sakurano who came with them couldn't help but worry about Seigaku's tennis club. After all, as the champion of the junior high school department, Rikkai University is already very strong, and with Yukimura's return, wouldn't they be invincible?
"But Master Longma is very powerful. No matter who is the son of God or the emperor, he will defeat them all."
After saying that, he didn't forget to wave the cheering flag in his hand, which made Sakurano feel very embarrassed.
It was Horio who asked about Zizhou's origins.
"Ah, this person's name is Saeko Atomorizu. He was a regular reserve player in his first year. It is said that he had only been learning tennis for about a month at that time. Although not as famous as Yukimura and others in the tennis world, Rikkai University already had a strong team at that time. 「
"Then why haven't we heard of him?" 「
Momoshiro couldn't help but interrupt Shinji and asked, if he was really that powerful, why had we never heard of him before? Even if he wanted to hide his strength, it was impossible for him to hide it until now.
"This..." Kan felt happy when he saw everyone's desire for knowledge. But the content of the data made him correct his attitude.
"In the second year of junior high school, this Sahara classmate got into a serious car accident while saving someone. It is said that he almost died. Although he was saved later, the sequelae caused by the car accident also caused him to be able to play basketball properly some time ago."
The two little girls with tearful eyes and the three kids couldn't help crying, while the main candidates of Youth Academy all looked solemn. It was Fuji who asked the question.
"What kind of aftereffects are these?"
The ice-blue eyes looked through the crowd at Zizhou who was chatting with everyone. Bu Er, who originally had no good impression of Li Haida, now had a very good impression of him. A team with such people could not be bad.
"blindness."
Hiss, everyone was shocked. They were still teenagers and none of them had experienced this before.
Sakurano weakly raised her hand and asked, "So has Sawara-senpai's eyes recovered now? I see that he looks into people's eyes when he talks to them now."
"Ah, he's recovering now, but I didn't expect him to be in the starting lineup so soon. It's a pity that I didn't get to know his playing style and special skills. But he was able to make the starting lineup after such a long window of absence, so he must be a genius."
A shadow appeared on Gan's face with a dejected look.
Uh, what a scary senior. Everyone took a step back collectively.
Beep－－－
"The Kanto tournament finals are now starting, the match between Rikkai University High School and Seishun Gakuin begins."
After the players from both teams saluted each other, Zizhou was not worried about the doubles match. In middle school, almost no one could match Marui and Kuwabara. Zizhou observed the two players on the opposite side. They seemed very energetic, but a little irritable and not calm enough.
As expected, Rikkai Dai won the doubles match, and after Marui and Kuwabara came back, Yukimura praised them, while Kirihara excitedly circled around them, as if he had won.
Marui grabbed the jumping little seaweed and rubbed its head in a good mood, with a carefree smile that was so dazzling.
Zizhou took out the gifts he had prepared for Marui and Kuwabara from his backpack, and handed them over after they passed by.
"Marui, Kuwabara, this is a gift for you, congratulations on your victory."
"Ah! It's Taoziyuan's special cake, it's delicious. Thank you Zizhou, I'm going to eat it now." He clasped his hands together and was so happy that he wanted to start eating right away.
However, Sangyuan scratched his head embarrassedly. The gift Zizhou gave him was taken into consideration of his taste, so he felt a little shy.
Next is the doubles match. It is very difficult for Zizhou to play against the combination of Niou and Yagyu, so he doesn’t need to worry.
Sitting in the chair behind Yukimura, Zizhou had a great view.
"Sanada, don't be so serious. If Yukimura can lose in front of them, we don't have to be called the king Rikkai University." Yanagi advised after feeling Sanada's tension.
Kirihara walked forward in surprise and looked at Sanada fearlessly, and Sanada angrily raised his hand and punched him.
"Ah! It hurts. The vice-minister's beating is getting more and more painful."
Although Yukimura was watching the field, he heard every movement behind him. He was speechless about the fact that his younger generation liked to make Xun Youran angry.
"Xuanyirou, calm down. Go warm up with Yanagi first."
After hearing Yukimura's instructions, Sanada took his racket and Yanagi to warm up without hesitation.
Kirihara, not knowing that he had saved his life, happily went to Yukimura for comfort. Zizu didn't know what to say to him, as he really only cared about the food and not the beating. But this is Kirihara.
