Chapter 78: Players will play doubles together after the first and second chapters! ...
"Hehehe" Atobe Keigo laughed softly, but how the worried Hyotei people would carry Hyotei back was a story for another time.
Looking at the receding back of Rikkai University, there are not only Hyotei and Fudomine, but also Seigaku.
The next opponent is Seishun Gakuen.
"...It's out," Oishi Hideichiro muttered, unable to tell whether it was a sigh or some other emotion.
"Rikkai University...huh..."
Kikumaru Eiji tried to comfort him: "Well... Oishi, think positively. Even if it's not Rikkai University, it will be Hyotei."
He pointed at a certain Atobe who was being half-carried, half-persuaded, half-dragged away by the Hyotei people, and tried to say, "Compared to facing the Hyotei King who seems to be a little abnormal..."
"Well, now that I think about it, doesn't it sound a lot better to face a more normal Rikkai University?"
“…”
“………”
Although Taocheng Wu tried hard to hold back, he still couldn't control himself.
"Um... Kikumaru-senpai, so... the culprit who caused Hyotei's Atobe to become like that..."
He scratched his head. "It seems to be... Rikkai University?"
Kikumaru Eiji: "..."
It’s really okay if you don’t sabotage, Tao.
During the silence, Echizen Ryoma, who had been silent the entire time, spoke at the right moment:
"If that's the case, it seems we're in danger too."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at him, puzzled and bewildered.
"Hey, little one, what do you mean?" Kikumaru Eiji was bewildered.
Momoshiro Takeshi said he didn't know either, and he used his arms to hold Echizen Ryoma back, preventing him from leaving.
"Give me a clear explanation before you leave, Longma!"
Echizen Ryoma: “…”
Coolly pull the hat, and raise the slightly raised cat eyes from under the brim.
Echizen Ryoma said in a straightforward and quite accurate manner,
"Just look at the match between Fudomine and Hyotei and you'll know. That guy from Rikkai University specifically picked on the club leaders."
“…”
“……!!!”
Everyone in the youth school was shocked. Such an obvious pattern - how could they not notice it?!
Recalling this, the one who fought against Fudomine was Minister Tachibana,
The battle against Hyotei is head coach Atobe Keigo,
Yagi Keina's movements are hard to predict, but it happened twice in a row.
If this wasn't a deliberate arrangement, then there's something fishy going on!
Considering that kid's unpredictable personality, it's not completely impossible for him to snipe the presidents of various schools!
After thinking it through, everyone in Qingxue looked back.
Their gazes were fixed like knives on Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was crossing his arms and pushing up his glasses.
Tezuka calmly adjusted his glasses.
Kikumaru Eiji: "It's over, it's over. I think what the little guy said is right... I hope Tezuka is not really going to get into trouble!"
Oishi Hideichiro looked worried: "...Tezuka,"
Even Fuji Shusuke, who was the most inconspicuous, opened his eyes and looked towards the silent Tezuka with a stern face.
“…”
"The probability that Yagi Kei will face Tezuka in the next game is 94.7%."
“—So high!”
Once these words were spoken, the conclusion was set in stone.
Everyone is worried about the future of Seigaku and Tezuka.
"Does it have to be like this..."
"But if not, we have no other choice..."
"Wuwu Tezuka... don't sacrifice Tezuka..."
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who had been condemned to be sacrificed without saying a word, said: "..."
Facing the worried gazes of his own team members, Tezuka adjusted his glasses.
"Don't slack off!"
"--It's bad! Tezuka is going to be harmed again!!"
Rikkai University was completely unaware of Seigaku's psychological struggle, and at this moment, everyone was immersed in the fear that their young junior was about to be abducted.
Although I am a little scared, it doesn’t seem that scary.
I just rejected it out of reflex, but when I calmed down and thought about it carefully...
If Yagi Kei accepted the olive branch thrown by Atobe...even if he only went there for one day, wouldn't they be able to have a day of peace...
Don’t think about it, don’t think too much about it!
There’s no end to thinking about it!
With a feeling of both relief and heaviness, everyone set out on their journey back to school.
The player looked at the special invitation that popped up in the window in front of him.
[NPC Atobe Keigo extends a recruitment invitation to you]
【You can now choose to change your identity freely! 】
【·Hyotei·Rikkai University】
The player silently looked at the NPCs around him.
Freedom to change identity...
"—Alright! Let's go home now! Kei!"
Kirihara Akaya, feeling refreshed after successfully protecting his young progeny, turned around and said happily,
I saw Mushroom Head staring blankly at the air, not even responding when I called him, as if he was lost in deep thought.
Kirihara Akaya was shocked: "!"
Could it be, could it be——Kei himself also wants to go to Hyotei!
Damn it, no! !
This kind of thing must never happen!
Kirihara Akaya bit his handkerchief and cried, "Kui, wuwuwu, please don't leave us. Even if you leave, please take me with you——"
Unprepared, he heard two other people from Rikkai University walking away: "?"
What happened?
Yukimura tried to smile: "Akaye, what are you talking about?"
Kirihara Akaya: “!!”
"Minister Yukimura, you must stop Kei! We can't live without Kei—Rikkai University is incomplete without Kei!!"
Yukimura: "?"
Kirihara Akaya was more and more moved as he spoke, and even called out to the others: "Everyone, seniors, don't you think——"
"With Kei, our daily training has become so much more colorful and varied!"
"—we can even have potatoes, cauliflower, pumpkin, and baked fish every day!"
"And! And, even though there are occasional life-threatening situations, our lives are definitely becoming more and more fulfilling!!"
Yukimura Seiichi slowly pressed down the kelp head, and Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara stepped forward and covered his mouth.
...Stop talking, Akaye, stop talking,
If you continue talking, you will regret not letting Atobe take him away.
Solve this side, the big problem is on the other side,
Yukimura Seiichi couldn't figure out what his junior was thinking.
After all, with Yagi Kei's strength, if he really wants to show his intention to leave Rikkai University, even if his behavior is a little out of line, well... particularly out of line,
But everyone has a unique tolerance for genius, and a minor flaw is just a speck of dust on a diamond.
As long as Yagi Kei is willing to show his preference, other schools will probably really fight for him...
Yukimura had a slight headache.
Come to think of it, where exactly is Rikkai University's core competitiveness...
The player clicked the pop-up window, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that the NPC was blocking the player's way.
What's going on? What happened?
The layers of NPC models are stuck in place, preventing players from moving freely.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!
Players are rushing back to complete their daily tasks!
Yagi Kei did a Thomas spin, jumped up and down in place, struggling to get out.
But as soon as he made the move, he was immersed in his own thoughts, afraid that the younger generation would abandon them if he turned around. Kirihara Akaya, who was running away to Hyotei, immediately grabbed the mushroom-headed man's ankle with a quick eye and hand.
Kirihara Akaya: “!”
The player was caught off guard and halfway up in the air, a sudden resistance "clang" hit him and he slammed down to the ground.
The sound was heavy and deep, and it sounded like a violent collision.
Rikkai people: "..."
Kirihara Akaya felt guilty, but he didn't dare to let go. He tried hard to defend himself, but the player didn't give him a chance.
Looking blankly at the [Resistance Medium] debuff that suddenly appeared in the status bar, although I don’t understand where it came from, the player must now hurry back to Rikkai University to complete his daily tasks.
So, facing everyone's blank gaze,
Kei Yagi displayed his superb maneuverability, climbing up from the ground and starting to parkour sideways, jumping onto the roof and even running wildly on the top of a car, using all kinds of dangerous moves.
Noticing that his energy consumption was even higher than before, Mushroom Head even took out a giant cauliflower from his backpack, carrying it on his head and chewing it while running...
According to common sense, people are not very surprised when the younger generation behaves like this.
After all, the person who made this move was Yagi Kei,
It seems like all problems have been solved!
But now there is one thing I have to see, that is...
Kirihara Akaya, who just stretched out his hand, is now still tied to Yagi Kei's feet!!!
"Ahhhhhh Akaya--!!!"
"Save Chiye, go save him!"
Kirihara Akaya, who had been tossed up and down and left and right, was foaming at the corners of his mouth: "Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
These people run faster than each other, and they even use their fastest 100-meter sprint speed in their lives.
I am afraid that if I fail to act in time, the future of Rikkai University will be cut in half.
"—I'm gonna get him! I'm gonna get him!"
Marui Bunta, who had the highest agility, flipped over and leaped over like a monkey pulling a vine, grabbing Kirihara Akaya's legs that were floating like noodles.
He turned around happily and said, "Everyone! I caught them——"
"Gulp gulp gulp #&@$￥..."
Jack Sangyuan, who arrived a step late, held out his hand: "No - Bunta!!"
"—It doesn't matter! Because we are here!"
Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi merged, giving full play to their tacit cooperation. One flew forward and the other grabbed his ankle accurately.
Niou flew forward and combined his mecha to grab Marui Bunta's pants.
In just a moment, a long line of people was trailing behind Yagi Kei as he sprinted forward.
Kirihara Akaya grabbed her feet, Marui Bunta grabbed Kirihara Akaya's legs, Niou Masaharu grabbed Marui Bunta's pants, and Yagyu Hiroshi grabbed Niou Masaharu's butt...
Yukimura Seiichi, Yanagi Renji, and Sanada Genichirō, who were still chasing after them, slowly exchanged a glance.
"...Do you want to go?"
“Too lax!”
"The probability of success is 98.7%,"
"Well, get ready everyone... one, two—"
“——!!”
Marui Bunta let out a heartbreaking wail: "Pants!! My pants - don't let my pants fall down!!"
Jack Sangyuan, who witnessed everything, slowly restrained himself and finally turned his head.
It’s so pitiful, so pitiful...everyone.
Fortunately, he didn't go.
Not bad, not bad.
…
It was as difficult and arduous as flying a kite all the way back to Rikkai University.
The people who finally landed on their feet no longer wanted to look back at the expressions of the passersby who had seen them along the way.
Life first, safety first, being alive is good enough...
——If it’s not Mushroom Head, why did he run away again? ! !
Without taking a breath, I followed closely behind reflexively.
The Rikkai people, whose bodies had been blown into a mess by the wind, followed behind the player, watching Mushroom Head plunge into the back mountain and diligently dig the soil.
Dive into the chicken coop and pick up eggs diligently.
Dive into the beach and fish with all your might.
Finally, he dove into the trash can and rummaged through the garbage in a positive, sunny, and healthy manner...
No, as for the last one, don’t...
"I didn't expect..." Marui Fumita murmured tiredly while pulling up his pants.
"Kui rushed back just to do this..."
“…”
“………”
"……well."
Amidst a long sigh, a voice suddenly jumped out.
"If you think positively about it... then our advantage is already obvious."
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Niou Masaharu.
Yukimura Seiichi was already exhausted: "Do we... have an advantage?"
"——Don't we have any advantages?" Niou Masaharu asked back.
"Wrong! The advantage is mine!"
He raised his head and looked at the distant sea, the distant chicken coops and farmland.
"Piyo! Everyone, don't forget—"
"Our Rikkai University is Kei's home turf!"
Everyone in Rikkai looked at each other in bewilderment: "......?"
"After all—you can farm, fish, raise chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and all kinds of unknown creatures—"
"You can even ask him to search the trash can every day--"
Niou Masaharu showed a proud smile on his face, "Only our Rikkai University! Puri~!"
“…”
“………”
"Yagyu-kun, are you sure you grabbed his butt instead of his head?"
When these innovative and impactful words were spoken, even the knowledgeable Yukimura Seiichi was paused for a moment.
After all, being able to identify these as strengths, and even speak of them with great pride...
Kirihara Akaya murmured, "I see...I see...!"
Facing the surprised gazes of the others around him, Kirihara Akaya successfully connected with Niou Masaharu's ideas!
He was happy and excited, "Senior Niou is right! As expected——"
"The advantage is mine!"
“…”
I don't know how to handle this scene anymore. It feels so difficult and no matter where I start, it seems to backfire.
This is no longer just 'gui-ization', this must be 'gui syndrome'...
Kirihara Akaya and Niou Masaharu remained silent and just reveled.
Others witnessed it, but it was hard to persuade them, and it was hard to say what they wanted to say.
They looked at each other, all that was left was stiffness.
"Now that I think about it, it makes sense... It's great that Kei won't leave Rikkai University..."
Yukimura tried to calmly summarize,
Marui Bunta slowly said: "But Yukimura... is it really too good and not something else..."
“…”
Silence, silence is spreading,
Especially Mushroom Head, who was busy rummaging through the trash can, threw a JJ Cola and accurately hit Genichirō Sanada, who was standing with his arms crossed and silently being hit.
Genichirō Sanada's face grew darker.
"It's okay...it's okay..."
Yukimura Seiichi comforted everyone except Kirihara Akaya and Niou Masaharu who were dancing with joy.
"Everyone, just go home and get some sleep tonight..."
Yagyu Hiroshi adjusted his glasses and said, "After they have a good sleep, will Akaya-kun and Niou-kun return to normal?"
“…Heh, heh…”
Yukimura said slowly, "That might be a little difficult..."
He switched to a steady tone and said, "But if you get some sleep and don't feel any pain...will you be able to accept it better?"
After these words were spoken, only silence remained.
Marui Bunta looked at him with twitching eyes.
Yagyu Hiroshi paused to hold his glasses, then slowly withdrew his hand.
"Will it?"
"Yes, I will."
Yukimura Seiichi could only smile, not knowing who he was talking to.
Rikkai University tried to solve everything by sleeping.
Qingxue, on the other hand, is seizing this last opportunity for special training.
“…Do we really have to do it this way?”
Oishi Hideichiro spoke in a heavy tone, looking at what the Seigaku students were doing on the field at the moment, and couldn't help but hesitate.
Kikumaru Eiji turned around and said seriously, "Oishi, we're doing this for Tezuka's own good. As long as we get through this, when we meet that little guy from Rikkai University... Tezuka, we'll definitely be able to hold on!"
Oishi Shuichiro: "That being said..."
but…
Why did you hit the ball at Tezuka's feet?!
Kawamura Takashi scratched his head: "Ahahaha... This is because Gan said that this can maximize the flexibility of Tezuka's toes, haha..."
Shuichiro Oishi: "..."
Something is wrong, eight out of ten things are wrong.
And fuck—how could you come up with such a plan and say such things?!
The mastermind and culprit behind the scenes, Inui Sadaharu: "According to the information collected,"
He flipped open a thick stack of notebooks. Someone curiously leaned over to take a look. It was filled with information and analysis on Yagi Kei.
"Look here," Gan pointed, "According to statistics and analysis, Yagi Kei has a very high chance of attacking the target's characteristics."
"Specific examples include 'Yagi Kei's Founding of Seigaku', 'Yagi Kei's Founding of Four Schools Training Camp', and 'Yagi Kei's Founding of Seigaku Sports Festival.'"
Gan said calmly and calmly: "Based on the above observations, we can conclude that when facing Tezuka, his primary target of attack is..."
"——It's Tezuka's toes!"
“…”
"Because it's so plausible that it sounds like nonsense no matter how you look at it..."
"To be able to come to such a conclusion through analysis... in a way, he's quite meticulous..."
Seeing that Oishi Shuichiro's expression was still a little subtle, he turned around and pushed out the center of everything - Tezuka Kunimitsu!
"Oishi, although I know it's hard for you to understand,"
He adjusted his glasses, "But...Tezuka has reached an agreement on this point."
Oishi Shuichiro was in a trance: "...Tezuka?"
No, no matter what I say...but, but...uh...
Oishi Hideichiro was at a loss for words, feeling quite confused as to what to do.
Tezuka looked at him with a calm expression and only said:
"——Don't be careless!"
“…”
“………”
Even Tezuka sacrificed a lot for Seigaku's victory...
The time for cramming is short after all, but the finals of the Kanto Conference has officially arrived.
[Matching...loading...]
【Match successful! 】
[The opponent in this game is: Seishun Gakuen! ]
[Seishun Gakuen vs. Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, First Court.]
The sight is fixed on the black and white words, such a big name has passed the layers of selection,
Finally stand out and intersect in the last game.
The only winner will emerge from the battle between these two schools.
Teammates, all in!
Opponent, all in!
All the avatars of the team players are listed on both sides of the pop-up window.
The player looked up.
Across the net, the Seishun Academy Tennis Club, with their expressions extremely stern and a heavy aura surrounding them, had come with all their might.
"--salute!"
"Please give me your guidance today!!"
Hyotei and Fudomine also appeared in the viewing platform of the first stadium.
More or less all the participating teams from the entire Kanto Conference appeared here.
To witness this final decisive battle.
Is he the surprising dark horse who overcomes all obstacles, or the overlord of Kanto who creates honor and continues the legend?
Everyone is waiting to see,
Inoue Mamoru brought a full set of equipment and set it up outside the venue. There were more TV stations and reporters at the Kanto Tournament finals than before.
This match was undoubtedly witnessed in full view of the public.
Shiba Saori, who came with Inoue Mamoru, noticed the state of the two fighting schools from the moment she entered. They were both equally tense and their aura was fully open.
"As expected of the Kanto Tournament finals—"
Shiba Saori sighed, "But when I think about seeing Ryoma's performance in a final like this, I can't help but look forward to it..."
"Haha, Aori, you are looking forward to Echizen from Seigaku."
Inoue Mamoru said as he adjusted the equipment,
"Of course—"
Shiba Saori nodded and said proudly, "Just like Inoue-senpai is looking forward to that...Yagi's performance at Rikkai University!"
It's not just Inoue Mamoru,
Even inside and outside the entire stadium at this moment,
Even the audience who were not present in front of the screen,
Everyone is more or less looking forward to his performance.
First graders, underdogs,
All the opponents I met were well-known third-year junior high school tennis players.
And every game was a one-sided crushing victory,
It completely fits the image of an absolute young genius in people's minds——
Of course, a major factor in the success of the broadcast was that most of the footage of Kei Yagi's creative actions was deleted during the broadcast.
The photographer wants to add chicken legs,
But today everyone is looking forward to it,
Will this young genius who fought against the two school presidents face the president of Seigaku again in this final?
Destiny is unpredictable, but it attracts countless people!
In the Hyotei area, Atobe Keigo didn't speak.
The other members of Hyotei carefully studied his expression, and could only see Atobe Keigo with his hand pressed against his brow, his eyes fixed on the field.
"Tezuka..."
Fudomine sat down, and Kamio Akira instinctively went to look for a certain mushroom.
I was surprised to find that the other person was standing there like a normal person.
Not riding a horse,
Not sitting on the referee's chair or the coach's chair,
He didn't even bully the Rikkai University player next to him.
"...Not like him..." Kamio murmured.
Tachibana Yoshihei also looked over and saw most of the Rikkai members standing there in a row, seemingly explaining something.
...Is it because it's the finals?
So even the overlord of Kanto could not avoid getting emotional?
"Here it comes—it's begun!"
“They’re coming out!!”
As the referee walked into the field, the first game was about to begin.
The audience seats also became lively, and the audience speculated who would start.
"Double two, Seigaku won't be sending out the golden duo, right?"
"I can't tell the doubles from Rikkai University either."
"But as expected - the singles match is what I'm most looking forward to."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing this treasonous act—'Minister Killer' please come out soon!"
The audience was talking about it, and the restless atmosphere was rising and falling.
The referee standing in the center, in full view of the crowd, took out his whistle.
Bathed in everyone's gaze, I blew it hard.
"Beep! Seigakuen vs. Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, doubles two—"
"Fuji Shusuke and Kawamura Takashi team up against—"
Facing the chaotic emotions, the referee paused and took another look.
Finally, he calmly revealed the name of the person who had generously participated in the battle with Rikkai.
"——Kirihara Akaya and Yagi Kei team up!"
"The competition—officially begins!!"
“…”
“………”
"Huh?"
Qing Xue was bewildered, even more bewildered than the audience in the auditorium. They looked at each other in bewilderment, some even doubting their own ears.
“——Huh?!!!!”
“No, no, no…”
Kikumaru Eiji asked a fatal question: "That little guy from Rikkai University...isn't he the Minister Killer?!"
“——Huh? Not fighting anymore?! Not fighting just like that?!!!”
"We... Shiro trained Tezuka's toes??!"
