The members of Higa Junior High School were also very excited after seeing their players win consecutive victories in singles three and doubles two.
At this moment, they can finally feel proud.
Although Hyokui's cheerleading team has a large number of people, they can only watch helplessly now.
Who told them that they had already lost two games in a row?
"Bang! I still lost to you. That last move of yours was really tough."
No one loses, so Ryo Shido stepped forward and shook Furuba's hand.
Although he lost the game, Shishido Ryo was not too discouraged.
At least the loss this time was not so ugly.
"Your half-volley is also very good, and this guy's serve leaves us helpless."
Everyone can say nice things, and this time Heikoba spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Shishido Ryo's super half volley is considered a very good level in the entire junior high school.
As for Chotaro's serve, there is no need to say more.
In terms of pure ball speed, he is definitely the fastest player in this competition.
"Let's compete again next time. I will definitely knock back your shot next time."
Shishido Ryo shook his head. He had already lost and there was no point in bragging about it anymore.
"Ha...it will still be us who win next time."
Ping Guba chuckled lightly.
Then both sides returned to their coaches.
Both sides actually performed very well in this game.
Neither Hanamura Aoi nor Kantarou said anything more.
"Hmph! Kai, I have already won."
"Then it's your turn."
Hirakoba, who returned to the team, walked directly in front of Kai.
The next player to play in the second singles match is Kai.
"Just take a look."
Kai chuckled lightly, he looked very confident.
But yes, he is not afraid of anyone else in Hyotei Academy except Atobe Keigo.
Even Hyokui's second-in-command is nothing more than that in Kai's eyes.
...
"The first round of this national competition is about to begin. The Okinawa representative Higa Junior High School will play against the Tokyo representative Hyotei Gakuen No. 2 singles match."
"Yujiro Higa Junior High School vs. Hiyoshi Waka of Hyotei Academy."
"Invite both players to come forward."
Soon, the third game started after the staff briefly dealt with the debris on the court.
And this game that decided the fate of the Ice King was actually handed over to a first-year player.
This could not help but surprise many people present.
"What's going on? Hyokui's second singles player is actually a first-year player?"
"Is Hyotei not thinking about it? Facing Higa Junior High School, he sent out first-year students in singles three and two singles in a row?"
"Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant! I have long heard that the president of Hyokui is a very arrogant guy, and now I see that it is indeed true."
The audience was talking a lot.
Most people are not optimistic about the Ice King's troop formation.
After all, Hyotei's opponent in this round is none other than last year's national champion Higa Junior High School.
This kind of formation was undoubtedly giving the victory to Higa Junior High School.
But in fact, Ajibe and Kantarou think this is one of Hyokui's best troop formation options.
Whether it is Kachichi in the third singles match or Hiyoshi in this match, Shintaro arranged them after careful consideration.
It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for these two people to deal with Bokute and Kai in Higa Kingdom without affecting Hyokui's overall combat power.
...
"Hiji."
Atobe called out to Hijiruo who was about to go on stage.
"If you really want to challenge my throne, win this game and show me."
Atobu said calmly.
Hearing this, Rijiruo didn't reply, but just walked down to the court with firm steps.
"Atobe, isn't it too early for you to tell him this now?"
Renzu looked at Rijiruo's back and said.
"Haha... How can the new king who wants to be our Ice Emperor do it without taking on some pressure?"
Atobe showed a smile, he saw great qualities in Hijiruo.
But this kid is still a little too young if he wants to challenge himself now.
On the field.
Jia Fei glanced at the boy in front of him, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
From Kai's point of view, it's not easy for him to deal with a first-year Hyokui.
This time Hiraguba's idea of making fun of himself was destined to fail.
"Please give me more advice!"
"Please give me more advice!"
Hijiruo and Kai shook hands.
Kai was surprised to find that he could not see any fear or nervousness in the eyes of the boy in front of him.
There is only a hint of greed and eager aggression in this kid's eyes.
"What an interesting guy."
Jia Fei sneered in his heart.
It seemed like he had to help Atobu teach the boy in front of him a lesson.
"The match begins, one set determines the winner, Hyotei Academy Hiyoshiwa's serve."
Soon Kai and Hiyoshi finished guessing the side, and Hiyoshi successfully won the right to serve in the first game.
...
"Hyoudi actually sent Hijiruo? It's rare."
Dashi frowned.
In his memory, Hyotei's Hiyoshi Waka rarely played in official open matches.
Even if you face opponents, most of them are not strong enemies.
"Since Atobe and Hyotei's coach Shintaro put Hiyoshi as the second singles player, they must have considered it. I think they also know very well who they are facing."
Fuji said with a dull smile.
And this is also Tezuka's view.
Tezuka didn't think Atobe was that arrogant person.
Although Atobe is sometimes very narcissistic, he is far from arrogant.
Mamoru Inoue also thinks so.
He had roughly guessed why Atobe and Kantarou let Hijiro play in this match against Higa Junior High School.
Because Hiyoshiwa has the same characteristics as everyone in Higa Country to a certain extent.
Martial Arts Tennis.
...
As Hiyoshi stood on the service line, the words that Hijibe and Shintaro said to him appeared in his mind.
"Is this the most comfortable position for me..."
Rijiruo looked at the racket in his hand, then reached out with his left hand and pulled the racket sideways with his right hand.
It shows the starting position of tango in Hiyoshi family martial arts.
"The following guilty!"
A gentle murmur immediately mobilized Rijiruo's whole body's aura.
"Oh? I see, you also know martial arts and tennis!"
Kai showed a playful smile. This was the first time he met a martial arts tennis player other than Higa Junior High School.
I just don’t know if Hijiruo’s martial arts tennis is just a show or if he is really capable.
In the player area on the sidelines.
Mu Shou also became interested.
This is also the first player he has seen outside Higa Junior High School who can apply martial arts to tennis.
"Actually, if this guy comes to our Bijia Junior High School, he might have a better development."
An Shijin said with a smile.
No one in Hyotei can teach Hijiro about martial arts tennis.
Although it is said that with Hijiruo's talent, he can reach the level of the Four Gods in martial arts in the future, but if he is in their country of Hijia, he can definitely go further.
"Oh? Amuro, are you saying that this guy's martial arts tennis skills are really good?"
Hiraguba captured another key point in Amuro Jin’s words.
Amuro’s words mean that she is very optimistic about this boy?!
"Riji's martial arts tennis does have something to it, but not much."
An Shijin smiled slightly.
For today's Rijiruo, this evaluation is very objective and fair.
The more Anshijin said this, the more interested everyone in Higa Kingdom became in Hijiruo.
They really wanted to see what An Shijin said about having something but not much.
...
"The following guilty!"
With a loud shout, Hijiruo threw the ball and jumped into the air.
With a light body like a cloud swallow, the flying Dapeng's wing-spreading serve actually hit a shot with astonishing power.
"That's a pretty good serve, kid."
Kai chuckled lightly.
In Hijiruo's eyes, Kai seemed to appear suddenly and came behind him in the direction of the tennis ball.
Peng!
The sharp half-volley passed directly through Hijiruo's side.
winter!
"Game, Kai Yujiro, 15:0."
Kai, receiving the serve and scoring.
...
The first ball of the second single ended faster than the audience expected.
Originally, they were surprised by Hijiruo's serve, but they never imagined that Kai's counterattack would come so quickly.
The backhand half volley directly completed the return of serve and scored.
Rijiruo still kept the action of spreading the wings of the roc at this moment, his eyes were full of solemnity.
Kai's action just now was so fast!
That was a backhand slash with the sword.
Hiyoshi had never thought that someone could use the draw sword as a half-volley, and that it had such amazing power.
In fact, this is nothing to Kai.
Within Higa Kingdom, Kai is second only to Amuro and Kute in terms of weapons proficiency.
"Boy, although your serve just now was powerful, it had too many flaws."
"And if a big-move serve like yours is caught by the opponent, you will be in trouble."
Jia Fei said with a dull smile.
It's rare to meet a junior who is good at martial arts and tennis. Although he is not from Higa Junior High School, Kai can't help but give him a few words.
He hopes that the other party can stick to this path.
Hearing this, Rijiruo didn't reply, he silently came to the left behind the service line.
Whoa!
Rijiruo threw the small yellow ball, and then the familiar gesture appeared again.
"Huh...crows fly on a plane?!"
An Shijin couldn't help but smile when he saw Ri Jiruo's actions.
Otherwise, Hijiruo's movements are really fun.
On the field.
Kai shook his head.
"What a stubborn boy."
But he himself was not like this at the beginning.
"In that case."
There was a cold glint in Kai's eyes. He wanted to show this boy what real martial arts tennis was like.
Peng!
It is still a backhand half volley, but after incorporating the essence of the draw sword, Kai's racquet swing becomes extremely fast.
Although it's not as good as Sanada's invisible trigger, it's not bad either.
Violent power is poured into this ball, and the nearly straight curve increases the threat of ball speed to the maximum.
winter!
"Game, Kai Yujiro, 30:0."
It was still a return of serve to score, and this time many people finally saw it clearly.
...
"It's not on the same level at all."
Haitang said gloomily.
As a first-year student, he felt the pressure from the second-year students.
"Sure enough, when it comes to martial arts tennis, it is still better than Jia Junior High School."
Dashi said with some emotion.
Martial arts tennis at Higa Junior High School has already seen success last year.
They relied on the strength of Okinawa style to defeat all the powerful players and win the final national championship last year.
And if Hyoutei's Hiyoshi was just a fledgling boy, there was no way he would be a match for Higa Junior High School.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Peng!
Peng!
"This game was scored by Yujiro Higa Junior High School, and the score was 1:0."
"Both sides change sides."
...
In the first game, Hiyoshiwako was attacked by his opponent on serve, which caused Hyotei's morale to plummet to the bottom.
Anyone can see the difference between Hijiruo and Kai.
However, Atobe and Kantarou looked calm.
In fact, Ice King had already lost this first round.
The moment we lost consecutively in singles three and doubles two, we had already lost.
In Shintaro and Atobe's deduction, the most important thing for Hyotei to win is the first two games.
In singles three and doubles two, at least one victory is required.
If they win two games, their Ice King's chances of winning will be very high.
But if they both lose, then the Ice Emperor will only be able to stop here this year.
We have already lost anyway, so it is better to take a longer-term view.
In this two-on-one match, what Kantarou and Atobe wanted was for Hiyoshi to learn from their experiences.
After all, in terms of Hijiro's playing style, no one is more suitable to be his "teacher" than this group of people at Higa Junior High School.
Kai probably guessed the Hyokui's plan, but he didn't intend to refuse.
Even if Hiyoshi hadn't been Kai, their junior in Higa Junior High School, he would still have planned to give him some encouragement.
I also hope that the other party can stick to this path.
"Boy, watch carefully. This is the real martial arts tennis."
Kai shouted, then held his racket in his hand.
His actions also made Rijiruo's eyes widen.
This special way of holding the racket is so similar to mine.
Peng!
Compared with Hijiro, Kai's serve eliminates unnecessary movements, and at the same time, the timing of force exertion and the control of body muscles are better.
Rijiruo stopped chasing the ball, and the ball just flew past the front of his racket.
Peng!
Peng!
"This game was scored by Yujiro Higa Junior High School, and the score was 2:0."
...
Peng!
Peng!
"This game was scored by Yujiro Higa Junior High School, and the score was 3:0."
...
Peng!
Peng!
"This game was scored by Yujiro Higa Junior High School, and the score was 4:0."
...
This game was the fastest in the series between Higa Junior High School and Hyotei Academy.
Even faster than the match between Kute and Kagami.
Kai and Hijiro are like two warriors on the stage.
The winner will be determined by taking action between the two sides.
Of course, the loser has always been Rijiruo.
In the fifth game, it was Rijiruo's serve again.
Hijiruo, who lowered his head and stared at the tennis ball in his hand, began to think of Kai's previous actions in his mind.
Whoa!
Peng!
This time, Hijiruo's serve was finally a lot more decent.
The eagle fights across the sky, and an eagle's call pierces the clouds and pierces the sky.
"Hahaha, okay, good boy!"
Kai also smiled after seeing Hiyoshiruo improving his serve so quickly.
Kai expressed great praise for Hijiruo's ability to absorb nutrients, but in this game he was about to start harvesting.
Harvest his victory.
It was also their victory at Higa Junior High School.
"Pirate's Horn!"
Peng!
Such a weird style of play was naturally not something that Rijiruo could resist. The weird ball path directly caused Rijiruo's swing to miss.
Haitang in the crowd narrowed her eyes.
He saw in Kai's move the same essence as his own snake ball.
Whiplash style.
After the initial training session with Seigaku, Kai also improved his pirate horn.
He added the essence of the whiplash style to the pirate's horn, making this move even more powerful.
...
"Boy, it's over!"
Facing Hijiruo's counterattack, Kai showed approval. Being able to return his own serve was enough to show the progress of the kid in front of him in these games.
But unfortunately, it was still a little too tender after all.
"Pirate's Horn!"
The unusual sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and it was only at the moment when the sound of hitting the ball rang in his ears that Hijiruo took his first step.
Although his burst of speed was not slow, Kai's ball landed at the far end of Hijiruo's direction.
That's not something Rijiruo can take care of.
winter!
"At the end of the game, Higa Junior High School Yujiro Hijiro won with a score of 6:0."
The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Hijiruo stopped weakly.
If possible, he would like to play another 100 games.
...
"Thanks for the advice."
Hijiruo took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand, which was also the first thing he said to Kai.
"Boy, you still have plenty to learn."
Kai and Hijiruo shook hands, the kid in front of them was really interesting.
Kai couldn't see any bitterness after defeat in Hijiruo's eyes, but only the will to fight.
Strong fighting spirit.
This kid also plans to challenge himself.
Kai smiled, he was such a boy who couldn't be defeated.
"Hey! I asked, are you interested in transferring to our Higa Junior High School?"
Kai suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Atobe and Renzu all showed dangerous looks.
This guy in front of me actually wants to poach their Ice Emperor?!
It's simply audacious.
"don't want."
Hijiruo's answer was crisp and clear.
He had no intention of leaving Hyotei, although he knew that perhaps his strength would be greatly improved by going to Higa Junior High School.
But Hyokui has taken deep root in Rijiruo's heart.
And he has always coveted the Atobe throne.
What's more, his home is in Tokyo, and his good friend Feng is also in Hyotei.
The two of them had always vowed to join the Hyokui Tennis Club and become official members.
"Forget it, I hope you can become stronger next time we meet."
Kai shrugged, he just said it casually.
Then the two of them returned to the team.
Although the outcome has been decided, this series is not over yet.
