Chapter 211: Players lead U17 vs. West...
【Now, do you accept the challenge? 】
Players will certainly not miss the UR BOSS that comes to their doorstep.
But before clicking, the player still took a closer look at the details bar.
【UR-Antonio da Medanore (*******) (Spain) is challenging you! 】
As the final gatekeeper, the UR BOSS, with a string of asterisks following its ID, is very attractive to players.
What exactly is it that players can’t see?!
Jibaimao is immersed in the exploration of UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore,
As for the others, it's a bit unpredictable.
Although from the beginning, no one could figure out the truth behind the cat-and-mouse game,
Looking at the waiting area of the U-17 Japanese national team across the field,
The S2-singles second player representing this game is a black figure, unique.
It’s the much-anticipated Kei Yagi!
The Spanish team all looked tense, especially since they had reached a crucial match point.
If we lose this round again...
His gaze rested on the contestant of this round, Antonio da Medanore, whose name was called out by Echizen Nanjiro.
Antonio, who was always placed in the S1 singles position, now played in advance as S2. It can be seen that Echizen Nanjiro did have some expectations about the progress and results of the game.
Will Antonio shoulder the burden of the Spanish national team?
Romeo Fernandez, the third singles player in S3, and Mars di Colón and Seda, the second doubles players in D2, who lost both matches, were in low spirits.
The heavy or depressed mood of the Spanish team did not affect the members of the Japanese team.
Perhaps it should be said that they don't have the extra energy to pay attention to the Spanish team members and observe their conditions.
Just a little cat has occupied everyone's attention.
Damn it, stand up from the coaching chair!
The U-17 Japanese team was startled and looked over in unison.
Waited and waited, and waited patiently,
After waiting for a long time,
Fuck the cat, it just stood up!
U-17 Japan National Team: “…?”
You looked at me, I looked at you, and pushed each other for a while. No one dared to go up and ask why the cat was not moving.
At this time, Kirihara Akaya and Toyama Kintaro, who were standing on the left and right of the cat like two generals and gate gods, still did not receive any praise from the cat.
Blinking two pairs of identical big eyes, PIKAPIKA is like two pairs of light bulbs flashing non-stop.
Finally—the cat seemed to notice and responded!
Under the expectant gazes of Kirihara Akaya and Toyama Kintaro, and with the rest of the U-17 Japanese team unsure of what was going on but wary of their insignificant behavior,
Kei Yagi,
A cat stepped onto the court alone.
Kirihara Akaya/Toyama Kintaro: —We haven’t touched it yet!!
One player has entered the field, and the spectators' attention has shifted to the Spanish team's S2 singles second player on the other side.
—Antonio da Medanore,
But unexpectedly, Antonio da Medanore remained standing, without moving, while a new figure slowly emerged from the contestant entrance.
Tall and slender, she is wearing the royal tassel-style uniform of the U-17 Spanish national team.
And, he had a face exactly like Antonio da Medanore who was standing there!
“…Eh, eh?”
"Antonio is here... there, why is there another Antonio?"
"No, what's going on?"
"Double... clone? Or... two Antonio da Medanore?"
The appearance of the two Antonio da Medanores caused a strong reaction. From the audience to the U-17 Spanish and U-17 Japanese teams, no one had imagined such a situation.
For a moment, there was a lot of discussion.
The Japanese team members looked directly at Kei Yagi who was going to play.
Even though Antonio da Medanore's condition was worse at the moment, it was just two people.
But if you piss off the Chicken Cat, it won't just be a problem for the two of them. Everyone present might be killed by the cat!
Frightened, but unexpectedly,
Yagi Kei didn't show the reaction that everyone was worried about.
A pair of dark and empty eyes stared straight at Antonio da Medanore of the U-17 Spanish half.
"This is……"
It's hard to tell what he wants to do. After all, the field is in complete chaos.
"Two Antonios?!"
It was Florio Roman who lost control first and asked,
"W-What on earth is going on?"
The two Antonios da Medanore looked at Furrio Romano without saying a word.
They looked at Yagi Kei on the other side of the net.
“…There are two people under the name Antonio da Medanore.”
The person who spoke was none other than Kazuya Tokugawa, a member of the U-17 Japanese national team.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked over.
Tokugawa Kazuya paused, and remained silent for a while under the questioning gazes of others.
"I have a history with them... so I know..."
Everyone looked at each other, looked at the silent Tokugawa Kazuya, and then looked at the two Antonio da Medanore.
Ultimately, what is more concerning is that
"--Well, since there are two Antonio da Medanore now, do we have to attack both of them?!"
"Uh...let's let Coach Yagi fight 1 vs. 2?"
"But isn't this a one-on-two fight? Isn't there something wrong with a 1v2..."
Tokugawa Kazuya paused. At this moment, no one cared about his relationship with the two Antonio da Medanores of the Spanish team.
Everyone's attention is more inclined to the chicken and cat on the court,
This undoubtedly made him feel a little relieved, but then he thought of the fatal question, and even he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"No...if it's a one-on-two situation, it probably won't be a one-on-two situation."
Tokugawa Kazuya raised his eyes and looked at the new Antonio da Medanore who walked in from the contestant's tunnel.
"He will face... Yagi."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately looked at Antonio da Medanore (number two) who was pointed out by Tokugawa Kazuya!
Sure enough - it was him who walked onto the court!
As No. 2 Antonio da Medanore entered the field and slowly started the battle mode,
The UR BOSS status bar in front of the player is also refreshed.
The five-dimensional values, health bar, and the coded asterisks under the ID were all displayed.
UR - Antonio da Medanore (Between truth and falsehood: A battle between two!)
——Finally appeared!
Players can see all the stats of UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore at a glance,
As expected of the last UR BOSS to appear,
This kind of five-dimensional graph is already considered top-notch in the previous UR BOSS.
Moreover, under the status bar of the new UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore, there are two special status skills!
——【Time Thief】and【Dark Matter】!
Players still need to click on the details to see, but with the entry of No. 2 Antonio da Medanore,
The battle is about to begin!
The competition officially begins!
The first one to take the serve was Kei Yagi!
Looking at the UR BOSS across the net, the player pondered for a moment.
Especially for his other special status skill,
Dark Matter,
Very interested.
After all, the system has already marked it with glittering golden words—
[Detected the skill - 'Shura Shinto: Abyss' evolutionary material 'Dark Matter'! ]
[——Players, please defeat the UR copy BOSS and collect the evolution material 'Dark Matter'! ]
Now there is no need to think too much,
The system prompts you to this step.
Of course it is——
Players want it, players get it,
Yagi Kei serves first——!
To start - it's not any of the four special skills that everyone thinks, but a normal attack!
Antonio da Medanore held the racket, lowered his center of gravity slightly, and faced the ball carefully!
Although I have never had any formal dealings with Yagi Kei, as 'Antonio da Medanore',
He was very concerned about the 'CENTER' that Echizen Nanjiro had anchored after returning half a year ago.
Even when he first appeared at the U-17 World Cup, he was closely watched from the shadows.
Against the world No. 1 professional player Jurgen Barisavich Volker,
Against the world No.2 ranked professional player Alexander Amadeus of the Swiss team,
As well as the French team captain Leopold Camus, ranked No. 3 in the world, and the American team captain Ralph Rinehart, ranked No. 5 in the world,
All data collection,
It can be said that, in addition to the U-17 Japanese team, Echizen Nanjiro,
Antonio da Medanore is one of the people who has most keenly noticed Yagi Kei's "rapid evolution" since he entered the U-17 team!
——In fact, it was just a flat A serve.
But from the moment he made the move, Antonio never let down his guard.
Hold the racket with one hand and swing it forward.
"Kaalaalaalaa ...
As expected, the moment the racket touched the ball, the violent impact made my entire arm numb.
Antonio quickly lowered his eyes and glanced at his arms.
Some of the doubts I had when watching the game just now have now been answered.
Why——the two players of the Japanese team who faced off against Mars de Coron and Seda, the second team in the D2 doubles team,
It will have almost no reaction to Mars's [Positioning Sniper] and [Sniper].
Because - just Yagi Kei's flat A shot had an impact and lethality far beyond that of Mars!
Just a casual attack had such power that Antonio had to increase Yagi Kei's danger level by several levels.
——It’s terrifying, but with careful planning, there is definitely an opportunity to take advantage of!
With a flick of his wrist and a tight grip on the racket, Antonio directly hit the ball back.
Pulling, struggling, rubbing, the process is too difficult to describe.
Just the first goal has brought such heavy pressure,
This person, Kei Yagi, is so terrifying!
The U-17 Spanish national team saw this, even though the two questions about Antonio da Medanore were still unresolved.
But now,
Seizing the match point and turning the tide is what everyone cares more about!
Unable to help but clench their palms, Mars and Romifil leaned forward slightly, their eyes fixed on the field.
——Antonio da Medanore, after a long struggle, returned the serve!
"--good!"
Mars finally couldn't restrain himself, he clenched his fist and drew his bow, laughing.
But after he spoke, he realized that the atmosphere was not right, he was the only one who was happy.
The expressions of the others, including Echizen Nanjiro, who was no longer lying in a mess but sitting upright in the coach's chair, were still solemn.
“Eh…”
The calm Seda spoke up, "It was just a return of a serve, sis."
Just a serve,
Everyone in the U-17 Japanese team knows that
The audience also knows that
Antonio—knows better,
He was even more clear.
In the next ball, the next ball, and even every ball that comes back, as long as we can't cut off the pulling process and get points from Yagi Kei,
Then every subsequent return shot will become an extremely long torture!
Before this battle begins,
Serious, focused, calm, thorough, analytical,
By observing his opponent, observing his opponent's state,
Antonio made an accurate inference.
The battle against Yagi Kei must be a protracted one, and it must not be started.
We must grab enough points before we show our edge.
This also means that one cannot hide his strength at all and must completely suppress Yagi Kei from the very beginning.
As long as he is pressed down so that he cannot turn over, then,
The final victory——can be achieved in your hands!
Antonio had made up his mind, and the next thing he had to do was to implement it thoroughly.
Kei Yagi, who was staring at the other side of the net, easily returned the ball as planned and expected.
"GET,"
Antonio da Medanore raised his eyes and stared at the black-haired figure opposite him.
Suddenly, the whole body was full of vigor and strength.
——Right now!
A pop-up window flashed before the player's eyes, and he looked over with a ding.
[UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore uses the skill 'Time Thief'! ]
“…appeared.”
The Phoenix of Byodoin folded its arms and opened its mouth.
"That guy's most powerful move,"
Hearing this, everyone who was focused on the field paid some attention to look over.
"You're going to use your most powerful move now? What is it?"
Byodoin Phoenix: "It's [a tennis ball that controls the opponent's timing]."
“……?”
"In a moment when time seemed to have stopped flowing, he dominated the situation."
Byodoin Phoenix spoke and gave a little explanation, but it was still too abstract, so everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"...Tennis where you control your opponent's timing... does such a style of play really exist?"
It should really exist, but there are huge disparities in strength.
Antonio da Medanore can achieve this state by crushing the opponent.
Either unexpectedly or caught off guard,
Even players or opponents of the same level would be tripped up or even lose the point directly when dealing with Antonio da Medanore's move.
So, it should be like this,
But unfortunately, he met his match, and it wasn't anyone else.
It's Kei Yagi.
From the five-dimensional values to skills, status, and various aspects of data,
All of these are completely beyond the level that Antonio da Medanore can accept or reach.
Time Thief
——The player's [time] cannot be stolen.
[UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore, failed to use! ]
The pop-up window made a ding sound.
Antonio da Medanore's expression changed, and the players' reactions were secondary.
Because——Antonio, who used the [Time Thief], discovered with absolute certainty that
It doesn't work at all!
The sphere was not affected, and he failed to fight back successfully, making it even more impossible for him to dominate the situation.
On the court, the rules set by Yagi Kei are still followed.
'There is no extra time for you to be surprised',
This sentence——
Returned the same way and delivered it to Antonio da Medanore himself!
“Beep!”
"GAME Kei Yagi, 1:0!"
He scored directly in the serving game, but Antonio da Medanore's defense failed miserably.
I took a deep look at the black-haired figure separated by a net,
Antonio da Medanore No. 2 exchanged glances with Antonio da Medanore No. 1, who was standing in the waiting area of the U-17 Spanish national team.
"Tricky,"
"It's more difficult to deal with than I thought,"
And, "This is the option that can make Echizen Nanjiro abnormal - Center."
U-17 Spanish national team,
It was selected and searched by professional player Nanjiro Echizen since his youth tennis days.
Every player has a deep or shallow connection with Echizen Nanjiro.
This battleship - the original core is the victory anchored by Echizen Nanjiro!
——Until half a year ago, when Echizen Nanjiro returned to Spain,
Suddenly proposed the 'Center' plan,
Reorganizing the core anchor of the entire battleship, a moment of doubts arose.
But he didn't respond to this.
He just looked at the Spanish team with a half-smile, and said meaningfully,
"When you see that kid... you should be glad it's not now."
"Anyway~"
It is very much in the style of Echizen Nanjiro, saying half and leaving the other half for people to guess.
"You will know, it won't be long~"
Antonio da Medanore, the second man, did not hear the conversation personally.
But Antonio da Medanore No. 1 wrote very clearly in the diary handed over by the two, and marked the key points.
'Center', or airborne,
This undoubtedly aroused Antonio da Medanore's vigilance and precautions.
So, when the U-17 World Cup just started,
Antonio da Medanore, the second one, lurks in the shadows.
Always observing, gazing, considering, exploring,
Until now, we have officially boarded the opposite side of the stadium where this 'Center' is located.
Only one ball encounter and one round of practice time,
He finally understood why Echizen Nanjiro suddenly proposed the positioning of 'Center'.
Even his two sons, Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Ryoma, did not receive such treatment.
But now - as long as you stand on the court, as long as there is a net,
They are the opponents.
"Antonio da Medanore serves—!"
It was Antonio's turn to serve.
He held the tennis ball, but did not take any action immediately, maintaining the posture of moving his center of gravity forward.
Silence, dead silence, no sound,
The cheers from the audience, the noises on both sides, the sparse objects vanished into nothingness.
Unexpectedly, the momentum descended.
Heavy, quiet, unsafe,
Around Antonio da Medanore, especially on his arms and racket, a thin and transparent fluctuating gas slowly spread out.
Its true origin cannot be explained, but it is clearly visible to the naked eye.
For a moment, everyone was puzzled.
Without leaving any room for suspense, Antonio da Medanore, after closing his eyes and opening them again, suddenly waved his hand—
The player's vision moves.
[Ding!]
[UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore uses the skill 'Dark Matter'!]
【——Used successfully! 】
The action is fast, fierce and violent,
As soon as it touched the net, the black ball shot out.
Fast, very fast, too fast - too fast to be caught by the naked eye!
Straight through - towards Yagi Kei's racket, through his racket,
No, it's Yagi Kei!!
When I discovered this,
People disagreed.
I don't think such a powerful shot will pose a threat to Yagi Kei.
The consistent calmness and stability make everyone trust and be firm unconsciously.
A serve of this level was a piece of cake for Yagi Kei—
After all - the cat is so powerful!
No matter what kind of opponent we meet, there will be absolutely no problem!
That's it!
The second before the idea in my heart comes to fruition,
Ball contact,
Changes occur suddenly,
There was a muffled, quiet sound, but even so—in the silence that almost all sounds were drowned out,
Naturally, it becomes extremely clear.
That's not a racket. A racket isn't that elastic.
It's not concrete or cement, they are not that soft,
There is only one answer,
It's the body.
Face this ball head-on, withstand this blow head-on——
Splash, scarlet,
A pool of blood, in all the eyes and pupils focused on it, in the blankly opened mouths and even in the breath,
Suddenly it splashed and gushed out!!
Unprepared, totally unguarded, never even expected this,
It is beyond imagination, so much so that when this happens - my eyes are bloodshot!
“No, no no no no no—!!!”
"How is it possible—No, no, that's not right—Head Coach Yagi!!"
"——Yagi-kun!!!"
“——KEN!!!”
The scene was in chaos, with people shouting all sorts of things.
The audience in the front row, members of the U-17 Japanese national team,
Even Echizen Nanjiro, who was sitting in the coach's chair, had a grim expression.
Unable to control themselves, Toyama Kintaro and Kirihara Akaya almost rushed directly into the court, but were forcibly pulled back by their guardians, Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Yukimura Seiichi.
The two men continued to struggle, shouting their final cries, "Minister Yukimura/Shiraishi! Didn't you see Kei/Yagi-Yagi is injured!!!"
Whether it is Shiraishi Kuranosuke or Yukimura Seiichi, their expressions are not good at the moment, and can even be called ugly.
Especially Yukimura, Sanada, Niou, Yanagi and others who were from Ritsukai University, even when they were pulling Kirihara Akaya, their eyes were still fixed on the court.
His face was so dark that ink almost dripped out.
Suppressing the emotions in your heart, especially the negative ones,
Yukimura Seiichi's smile finally disappeared, which made him look a little scary.
"Chiye,"
He only said one sentence,
"Now, it's game time."
“…”
Suddenly, the battle ceased.
During the 'game time', non-players cannot enter at will.
Therefore, no matter how anxious, angry, or worried they are at this moment, they can only be trapped outside the court.
He was forced to hold it down, with his head lowered and the back of his neck pressed down, staring intently at the center of the court.
"...The ball just now, entangled with a kind of elementary particles that cannot be illuminated by light and are only affected by gravity."
After the chaos, Irie Kanata managed to maintain his composure, adjusted his glasses, and spoke.
"Even a black hole, powerful enough to penetrate everything, can't capture it. That is... [dark matter]."
“…”
“…”
Even though I know the principle, my emotions are still not appeased.
"——I don't care about that. I just want to know how that guy who was hit by that so-called [Dark Matter] is doing now!"
Atobe Keigo spoke first, and the junior high school students reacted more strongly than the high school students.
Tokugawa Kazuya looked deeply at Antonio da Medanore, who had scored the goal.
He immediately said, "I'll go ask the organizing committee for a suspension."
"etc,"
Suddenly, a sound was heard, it was the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple,
The eyes that suppressed anger, anxiety, uneasiness, impetuousness and other negative emotions were focused on him.
During all this, the Phoenix of Byodoin Temple stared straight into the arena.
"He... is up."
In response to what he said,
The person lying on the ground beside the scarlet figure seemed to twitch.
From fingertips, to arms, to the whole body,
Slowly, slowly turn back and stand up,
You can almost hear the creaking sound of joints rubbing against each other.
At a glance,
Expressionless, unmoved, black hair, black pupils,
The only bright color is red,
The scarlet spread from the whole face,
Blinding, painful, struggling,
The overwhelming red, the red that fills the entire field of vision,
The aggressiveness is full, the red color is almost trance-like,
"How...how could there be so much blood..."
"That guy...that guy——does he even know what he's done!??!"
"Kyu...Kyu..."
U-17 Japan National Team waiting area,
His emotions were aroused to an extreme. He looked at the Spanish team, especially Antonio da Medanore who scored the goal, with a look of hostility and anger.
Even Echizen Ryuga, who was usually nonchalant, looked at him with a cold gaze like a blade, as if he was looking at a dead person.
The center of the vortex that caused all these changes,
'Victim'——Kei Yagi,
Silently getting up from the ground, I looked at the system's 'ding ding ding' pop-up window.
[Ding!]
【Due to the attack of UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore's 'Dark Matter'】
[Current HP——]
【-1! 】
Player: “…”
Take another look to make sure you are seeing it right.
Such a big emotional battle, only -1,
This is not even as good as scraping, scraping the particles!
The player was silent. He had never seen a UR BOSS with such low damage.
After a while of silence, I looked up at the UR BOSS-Antonio da Medanore across from me.
There was a hint of pity in his eyes.
I've seen birds before, but I've never seen one like this.
What else can you do except make the player's face bleed!
