"Singles three, Echizen."

"Double against one, Kikumaru, Oishi."

"Double 2, Momoshiro... and Kaidou."

Everyone was quite surprised when Sumire Ryuzaki announced her spot to compete against St. Rudolph.

"Double?" x2

"With him!" x2

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru, who have always been bitter rivals, glared at each other with great displeasure, clearly unhappy with the coach's decision.

However, they have no way to resist this kind of thing.

Meanwhile, Inui Sadaharu, who was temporarily disqualified from the regular election, was also doing the work of an intelligence gatherer, taking out his notebook and talking about the information he had obtained.

"St. Rudolph Academy, last year, their manager and coach Miyuki Hajime gathered the best players in the area, and they have been conducting intensive training for them ever since."

"The captain of the singles team, Akazawa, is as strong as ever. He even beat our senior from Seigaku last year. He's a formidable opponent."

"There's also Fuji's younger brother, Yuta. According to reliable sources, he underwent special training for left-handed people and is known as the 'left-handed killer.' I've heard that he's always aimed to defeat Fuji, so he shouldn't be underestimated either."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Fuji, who had been squinting, raised his hand with a smile and clarified, "But I'm not left-handed."

“That’s right, so it must be training to deal with Tezuka.”

Inui Sadaharu offered his own guess.

Those who agreed with this guess immediately dismissed it.

Whether Fuji Yuta is strong or not is another matter, but they don't believe that Fuji Yuta can deal with Tezuka Kunimitsu. After all, their captain is a man who is highly regarded even in the professional tennis world.

"Finally, there's the manager and coach I mentioned earlier. He's actually a player from St. Rudolph. I heard he's a tough guy. He's only trained with the school club twice this year, spending the rest of his time practicing at an outside tennis academy. But last week, apart from training at school on Monday afternoon, he and the club's regulars didn't go to the tennis academy. Instead, they took leave starting Tuesday to go to... a highly secretive, closed tennis club!"

Chapter 40 Proud Horio 4/6

On the other side, Aizen, who had already obtained the battle list, smiled.

It seems the plot hasn't deviated at all; Seigaku's lineup remains the same.

"But this time, St. Rudolph won't follow the script."

While talking to himself, Aizen met up with Fuji Yuuta and the others, and they also saw people from other schools along the way.

Kippei Tachibana of Fudomine caught his eye a little longer; in the upcoming match against Hyotei, this Kyushu lion would surely give his opponent a hard time.

With the upcoming match against Seigaku, Fuji Yuuta's attitude was exceptionally serious and solemn.

"Fuji Syusuke, Fuji Syusuke..."

"Hey, don't be so nervous before the match. As Fuji's younger brother, losing to your older brother isn't a big deal... Hey, hey, don't hit me."

Nomura, who was making sarcastic remarks about Fuji Yuta, was grabbed by the collar by the other man, whose murderous gaze immediately made him back down.

"I'll say it again, don't call me 'My Little Brother'!"

"The match is about to start, our ace should calm down a bit."

Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Ze quickly stepped forward and pulled the two apart, inadvertently giving Fuji Yuta a boost in his voice.

Strictly speaking, aside from Mizuki and Captain Akazawa, Fuji Yuuta is indeed the strongest in terms of pure one-on-one fighting ability.

Seeing Aizen return, Fuji Yuuta coldly released Nomura and asked with a serious expression, "What was the result?"

"Of course I won't let you down, Yuta."

Aizen held his cousin in his hand and said with a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Fuji Yuta's face. He thanked him and walked to the side with his tennis bag.

Akazawa Yoshiro walked up to Aizen, took the form, and stared at it intently. He gave Aizen a deep look and said, "Does that guy named Echizen Ryoma really make you think so much?"

"No, according to my investigation, this Echizen Ryoma hasn't lost a single official match since the regional qualifiers. And after further investigation, I've also discovered some interesting secrets. Do you know Echizen Nanjiro?"

Upon hearing Aizen's words, Akazawa Yoshiro's eyes twitched rapidly, and his lips moved slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"hundred percent."

"That golden doubles..."

"Besides the Golden Doubles Team and Tezuka Kunimitsu, do you think Seigaku has any other national-level players?"

"It seems you predicted everything."

"The opponent's doubles pairing is a temporary combination of two singles players, which is bound to lose. So as long as the golden doubles pairing and Ryoma Echizen winning the singles pairing will secure the victory in advance. Even if something unexpected happens, I will be able to turn things around. I believe you won't let me down, right, Akazawa?"

Looking at Aizen's confident smile, which seemed to indicate that he had everything under control, Akazawa Yoshiro paused for a moment, then joked with a strange and complicated look in his eyes, "You are really terrifying. Just thinking about the consequences of being your enemy sends chills down my spine."

Soon, the lunch break was over.

Because Fuji Yuta did not leave the team halfway, they did not run into Echizen Ryoma and others, thus avoiding a conflict.

During the pre-match preparations, the two teams also met face to face.

Both teams were carefully observing each other, and Aizen was no exception.

Even though he had seen it before, he still wanted to complain about St. Rudolph's uniform. The brown and white outfit was incredibly tacky, and it was several levels below Seigaku's blue and white regular uniform.

As a well-rounded boss, Aizen felt his aesthetic taste was quite good. Whether it was his amazing hair-spraying skills or his facade of being a nice guy, it was at least within the realm of being charming.

However, thinking about Rikkai University students dressed in yellow or Yamabuki University students dressed in green, he felt much better.

As expected, Tezuka Kunimitsu was as aloof as ever, with an icy expression that made him seem like he didn't talk much. It was actually Vice-Captain Oishi Shuichiro who spoke first to greet him.

"Hello, the teams that advance from this competition will receive a ticket to the Kanto Tournament."

"I hope you will be willing to give me your guidance in order to compete against teams that can advance to the national competition."

Akazawa Yoshiro raised an eyebrow, his words carrying a slightly provocative tone.

"Please advise!"

Yanagi Shoya and the others shouted in unison, causing the Seigaku members' expressions to change slightly.

What was initially a relatively peaceful conversation suddenly turned into a heated exchange.

With loud laughter, the people of St. Rudolf left first, their villainous boss-like demeanor leaving Aizen speechless.

"Match begins! Seigaku Momoshiro serves!"

With the referee's decision, the doubles match officially began.

In this round, the participants for St. Rudolph remained unchanged from the original storyline, still consisting of Shinya Yanagisawa and Jun Kisarazu.

boom!

Momoshiro Takeshi abandoned the tennis ball and slammed it down hard, the ball flying rapidly across the net.

"It's Senior Atao's bullet serve!"

The first-year cheerleaders from Seigaku exclaimed in surprise.

The group of players who had undergone a complete transformation during the Aizen Hell training these past few days couldn't help but laugh. The trash-talking king, Takuya Nomura, couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What bullet serve? It's just that the player is slightly stronger. It's still just a fast serve at its core."

"Not at all!"

Horio, the loudmouthed Aoi student, shouted in dissatisfaction.

However, this boastful Seigaku was quickly proven wrong.

Standing at the receiving position, Jun Kisarazu nimbly caught the tennis ball with his racket, paused slightly in his arm, and then hit it back.

Sure enough, this guy named Momoshiro is stronger than the average person. However, this strength is still far from enough.

Horio's lips twitched, but he didn't utter any more harsh words for the time being.

Takeshi Momoshiro went straight to the net and returned the ball.

Shinya Yanagisawa launched a verbal attack on Kaoru Kaidou behind him: "Hey you with the headscarf, isn't your defensive range a bit too wide as you're standing in the center?"

A high ball soared into the air.

"what!"

Just then, a dark shadow blocked Yanagisawa Shinya's view; it was Momoshiro Takeshi leaping high into the air.

Shinya Yanagi frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Such strong jumping ability."

Snapped!

A beam of yellow light suddenly slammed into the ground.

"It's a vertical smash!"

"Well done, Senior Tao!"

"It's so handsome!"

A cold glint flashed in Liu Zeshen's eyes. He instinctively wanted to reach out and receive the ball, but he suddenly remembered "Guan Yue's" instructions and forcibly restrained his impulse, watching helplessly as the other side scored.

Momoshiro Takeshi landed in a pose, uttering a defiant "Thump!"

"Wow, that's a short-run vertical smash! It's really good."

Kisarazu, with his headband tied around his neck, remained calm, though a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

A vertical smash?

God knows what kind of balls they've been catching these past few days.

Perhaps those balls didn't have that kind of direct, aggressive attack, but those high-skill balls were much harder to receive, while fast smashes weren't impossible to receive.

"Haha, as expected, when Senior Tao gets serious, even Saint Rudolf is no match for him."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Horio shamelessly mocked them, finally getting his revenge.

He didn't notice that the regulars on St. Rudolf's side all showed strange smiles when they heard his words.

Chapter 41: Only the coach can offer advice (5/6)

The competition was in full swing, and everything seemed to be following the original plot.

The conflict between Kaidou and Momoshiro, Inoue Mamoru's praise for the two in the tennis monthly magazine, and Kisarazu Jun's gorgeous drop shot.

Following Aizen's intelligence and attacking the opponent's weaknesses, Momoshiro and Kaidou were directly overwhelmed by Yanagisawa and his companion, and were forced to retreat step by step.

At halftime, the conflict between Takeshi Momoshiro and Kaoru Kaido was still unresolved.

"As expected, Mizuki not only grasped the opponent's weaknesses, but also predicted the score direction with such accuracy." Yanagisawa Shinya casually slung his racket over his shoulder. "It looks like we can win even without showing the results of this week's training."

Meanwhile, the Seigaku side was still noisy, and the elderly Ryuzaki Sumire could only try to stop the two from arguing.

"Tsk tsk, they've fallen behind, yet the coach doesn't have a single countermeasure or suggestion. His off-field guidance is just too poor." Guan Yuechu, sitting on the coach's bench, glanced to the side with a somewhat disdainful expression.

Seemingly sensing the malicious gaze, Ryuzaki Sumire turned around and smiled, "You must be their manager, Kanatsuki. The result of this match isn't out yet. Momoshiro and Kaidou, burning with fighting spirit, are not so easy to deal with. They are the people who know each other best. Once they can put aside their differences for the sake of victory, they will be the best doubles team."

I got talked to.

Aizen sighed inwardly.

In his eyes, everyone in this world is an ant, but as someone involved in tennis, he still admires some people.

For example, there's Phoenix Byodoin, who knows there's no sympathy for an opposing side; Aoi Hanamura, who can help players with mediocre talent find their way; and Ban-ro, who, despite his age, still recruits geniuses, arranges formations, and offers advice for the team, etc...

But Ryuzaki Sumire is definitely not among these people.

Back in the era of Echizen Nanjiro, Seigaku still couldn't win the championship. At that time, you could say she was still young, or use the excuse that all the other players besides Echizen Nanjiro were just too untalented.

So what now?

So many years have passed, and Seigaku has never won a national championship!

After Echizen Nanjiro emerged, countless tennis players flocked to Seigaku. Over the years, Seigaku's probability of producing geniuses seemed higher than other schools, so how come they've never produced one?

Besides, what kind of ridiculous reason is it that first-year students can't be regulars?

Weren't the three giants of Rikkai University first-year students who became regulars? If the first year's Rikkai University championship had nothing to do with Yukimura Seiichi and his team, then they wouldn't have been so proud to shout the slogan of Rikkai University's three-peat.

Keigo Atobe of Hyotei also dominated the entire Hyotei school on his first day there. In addition, Shitenhoji, Rokkaku Middle School, and Yamabuki do not have such a rule.

Why did things change at Seigaku? Ryoma Echizen only got a chance to compete for a starting spot because of his title as the U.S. Junior Open champion and his father Nanjiro's connections.

Isn't the law of the jungle the most correct one: the capable rise and the weak fall?

What are the differences between Seigaku last year and Seigaku this year?
