Hyokui had defeated Seigaku in the previous Kanto Tournament, so Oishi naturally knew about Hyōtei's strength.
Such a strong school had no ability to resist when facing Higa Junior High School. The two sides could not even beat Doubles 1 and Singles 1 before the contest ended.
As a result, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Seigaku to take revenge on Higa Junior High School next year.
"Dashi, don't worry! I think our strength will not be worse than theirs this time next year!"
Kikumaru patted Oishi's shoulder carelessly.
The optimistic and cheerful Kikumaru did not feel worried or afraid because of the strength of Higa Junior High School.
All he thought about was that the first graders in the tennis club could finally play on the court.
After completing their trip to the national competition, the third-year club members will gradually withdraw from the tennis club, which naturally includes the official team members.
"Tezuka, let's compete again after we get back!"
Fuji walked up to Tezuka and whispered.
"Um?"
Tezuka glanced at Fuji in surprise, as if he saw something in Fuji's eyes.
"good."
Immediately Tezuka nodded, he also needed a game to digest the experience he gained from the last game against Amuro.
And in Qingxue, Fuji was his best opponent.
...
After winning the Ice King, An Shijin and others are one step closer to winning the national competition.
After winning a big victory, they were naturally in a good mood and came to the entrance with a little smile on their faces.
Soon An Shijin and Mu Shou stopped in their tracks.
At the other end of the entrance, a team in khaki uniforms also stopped.
"Congratulations on your victory, Yukimura."
An Shijin smiled slightly.
He didn't even need to look at the notice board not far away to know that Rikkai was definitely the winner.
In this year's national competition, Amuro Jin believes that no other team other than Higa Junior High School can pose a threat to Haida.
"Thank you! I also want to congratulate you on defeating the Ice Emperor."
Yukimura responded with a gentle smile.
Hyōtei cannot be Higa's opponent in high school, Yanagi Renji has already given a definite answer to this point.
Naturally, Yukimura believed unconditionally in the answer given by their Tachikai Dai adviser.
He believes in his players very much.
"Amuro, let's take our leave now."
The two parties had no intention of exchanging greetings. After saying hello, Yukimura left with the team members.
"See you in the finals!"
An Shijin nodded. He believed that this year's finals would definitely be between Higa Junior High School and Li Hai University.
"See you in the finals!"
Yukimura also thinks so.
"Amuro, are you sure they are our opponents in the final?"
After the man from Tatekai walked away, Taira Furuba stepped forward and asked.
"Ha...it must be them."
An Shijin gave a very definite answer.
"That's it..."
Kai, Heira Furuba and others remembered everyone in Tatekai Dai in their hearts.
There must be something special about being valued so highly by Amuro.
They cannot take it lightly.
...
An Shijin and Huamura Aoi looked at the schedule posted on the bulletin board at the entrance, and soon they saw their opponents in the next round.
It is from Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka Prefecture, Kansai.
"Amuro, do you know anything about Shitenhoji Temple?"
Huacun Kui asked An Shijin with a smile.
Huacun Aoi knew that An Shijin seemed to know all about these junior high schools. She who had just returned to China did not know as much as An Shijin in this regard.
"Well. Although they are an unknown school in Kansai, next year they may have the strength to defeat Mu Zhiteng and become the overlord of Kansai."
An Shijin nodded.
"What?!"
"Are they that strong?"
Others subconsciously ignored that An Shijin was talking about next year. They were very surprised that An Shijin was optimistic that Tiantianbao Temple could defeat Mu Zhiteng.
"Of course, Shitenhoji is the biggest dark horse in Kansai this year. It is known as Higa Junior High School."
An Shijin suddenly turned around and made a grimace to everyone.
"..."
Everyone was speechless immediately. They all made Higa Junior High School laugh at this sentence.
Since Amuro said so, then tomorrow's game should not be a problem.
Everyone felt a lot more relaxed.
...
the other side.
Watanabe Osamu also knew that their opponent tomorrow would be Higa Junior High School, the new overlord of Kyushu.
"It's really nerve-wracking. This is not good news."
Osamu Watanabe scratched his head through his straw hat and sighed.
"Axiu, what are you worried about? We won't necessarily lose to them."
Zenyuki Taira saw Osamu Watanabe's worries. As the president, of course he had to step forward to stabilize the morale of the army at this time.
"That is to say, if they have a great first grader, then we also have Shiraishi-chan."
Yuan Zhe also patted the hem of his clothes and said.
Shiraishi was a little shy when his name was called by the two seniors. First-year Shiraishi was not as confident as he would be in the future.
Shiraishi shook his head helplessly, and gently touched his bandaged arm.
The touch that came through the bandage made Shiraishi immersed in his own world.
Higa Junior High School.
These four words made Shiraishi immediately think of An Shijin, whom he had met several times.
He always felt that the other party would be his lifelong enemy.
...
Since it is during the summer vacation, the schedule of the national competition is very tight.
The next day.
The third round of the national competition begins again with eight out of four games.
The competition has entered the third round, and all the remaining teams are elite.
The previously defeated schools have also become spectators, and they will witness the ownership of this year's champion.
"Here they come! They're coming!"
Someone's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Two teams wearing different colored uniforms began to enter the venue.
In the stands, everyone from Hyokui and Qingxue arrived today.
They all came to witness how far Higa Junior High School can go.
"Atobe, who do you think will win today?"
Xiang Riyueren's mood was a little complicated at the moment.
On the one hand, he didn't want Higa Junior High School, which defeated their Hyokui, to lose to others so quickly, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see his "enemy" win.
"Ha... Of course it's Higa Junior High School! They who defeated our Hyokui must stand at the top."
Atobu snorted coldly.
Losing to the championship team would not be so unpleasant if told. Mr. Atobe didn't want to be embarrassed in his first year after taking over Hyotei.
...
On the field.
The two sides have already set up their positions across the ball site.
Everyone looked at each other for today's opponent, An Shijin's eyes swept away.
The lineup of Tiantianbao Temple in the first year was very different from what he remembered.
Except for Kintaro Toyama, who is still an elementary school student, Chitose Chisato is still a member of Shishi Raku.
In addition, Koharu Koharu and Yuji Ichiji have not yet partnered up for doubles at Osamu Watanabe's suggestion.
It will be in their second grade next year that they will start practicing in the One Heart and One Body Girls Team under the "bringing" of Osamu Watanabe and become the official members of the Tentenhoji Temple.
Apart from these few people, others such as Shiraishi, Renzu, etc. were all there.
"Please give me more advice!"
"Please give me more advice!"
The two parties were not familiar with each other, so naturally there was no time for small talk.
After a brief salute, everyone returned to the sidelines.
"The third round of this national competition is about to begin. The Okinawa representative Higa Junior High School will play against the Osaka representative Tentenboji No. 3 singles match."
"Yu Higa Junior High School Jin Anshi vs. Shiraishi Zounosuke of Tentenhoji Temple."
"Please prepare both players."
When the list of the three singles players came on the radio, Osamu Watanabe glanced at Aoi Hanamura not far away with some surprise.
He didn't know why the other party put An Shijin on the third singles list. Maybe he had the same idea as himself...
Now this is a bit tricky.
"Shiraishi, don't put too much pressure on me. Just do your best."
Osamu Watanabe spit out the toothpick in his mouth and looked at Shiraishi in front of him.
To be honest, he was already prepared to lose in this singles match.
Shiraishi's talent, Osamu Watanabe, is believed to be no less than anyone else's, but the problem is that he just put a yoke on Shiraishi not long ago.
Now, facing the president of Higa Junior High School is like tying one's arms.
Bai Shi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Having said that, Shiraishi still wanted to try it.
Try to bring victory to Shitenhoji Temple.
On the other hand, An Shijin was also a little surprised that he would appear in the third singles match.
However, he quickly understood that it must be his previous statement that the coach of Shitenhoji Temple was very good at arranging troops and formations that made Aoi Hanamura change the regular arrangement.
But since that's the case, let's take a look at the level of first-year Shiraishi.
...
"We meet again, Shiraishi."
In front of the net, An Shijin smiled slightly.
"Please give me some advice, Anshi."
Baishi felt more and more that the other party seemed to know him very well, because he noticed that An Shijin's eyes looked at his bandaged left hand from time to time.
You must know that only Watanabe Osamu and himself knew about the fact that Osamu Watanabe asked him to wear the golden wristband in the entire Shitenho Temple.
Shiraishi didn't understand why An Shijin knew about this.
"The match begins, and the winner is determined by one set, served by Shiraishi Zounosuke of Shitenhoji Temple."
Shiraishi's luck seems to be good today, he successfully got the first move.
When Shiraishi came to the baseline, he habitually wanted to observe his opponent's movements first, but he was quickly stunned.
“Perfect!”
Looking at Amuro Jin Shiraishi crouching in the backcourt, he sighed helplessly, he was indeed a formidable enemy.
After taking a deep breath, Shiraishi threw the ball.
Bend your knees and kick your legs to trigger the beat.
Shiraishi's movements looked natural, as perfect as a textbook.
Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.
Shiraishi's serve excited Tezuka and Atobe, and they began to look forward to this game.
After serving, Shiraishi went straight to the net. His boldness surprised many people.
An Shijin chuckled, this guy Baishi really didn't make people worry.
An Shijin stepped forward with both feet, pressed down with her arms, and lifted the rebounding tennis ball into the air.
He wanted to see how strong Shiraishi was now.
An Shijin's baseline lob was clearly expected by Shiraishi, and he jumped up with the help of his sprint.
A slender figure wearing the yellow-green uniform of Shitenhoji Temple soon appeared in the air. Shiraishi raised his arm and then buckled it down.
Peng!
The powerful killing ball fell straight in the opposite direction of An Shijin.
"Got it!"
Yuan Zheye laughed and said.
"No, not yet!"
As Ping Shanzhi's words fell, An Shijin's figure also appeared behind the ball.
"What a speed!"
Kenzu Kenya, who is the star of Osaka Naniwa, said in shock.
Shukuchi method!
Raise your hand and draw it flat.
The ball passed through the entire field in a straight line and was as fast as lightning. Even Shiraishi could only chase after a few symbolic steps before stopping.
winter!
"Game, An Shijin, 15:0."
...
"That pace again!"
Ryo Shishito in the stands tightened his grip on the railings. If it hadn't been like this yesterday, he believed that he and Mukahi would win in the end.
"Ha...not bad!"
Atobe chuckled, not knowing whether he was talking about Shiraishi or Amuro.
“So neat and tidy!”
Renzu sighed quietly.
Regardless of whether it was Shiraishi or Amuro, their movements seemed to Ninzu to be so clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements.
But in comparison, An Shijin is obviously better.
This electric confrontation was completely under An Shijin's control, and Baishi's responses were all planned by An Shijin in advance.
And this is exactly what inspired An Shijin after using Cai Qi Huan.
Try to constantly use your thinking to explore your opponent's ideas, and make judgments and responses in advance.
Strike first!
With Amuro's mental strength and experience, he can still do this even without turning on his talent.
And An Shijin is getting used to doing this little by little.
