Chapter 93: Kansai Tournament Ends, Kanto Prelude, Known As

Osaka, Kansai Tournament Finals.

This year, the landscape of the Kansai region has undergone a huge change.

Last year, the national top‑four school Mu Zhiteng Middle School was crushed 0–5 by Four Heavens Treasure Temple, and the national runner‑up school Lion Music Middle School was also overturned by the dark horse Higa Middle School.

And now the final match between Higa Middle School and Four Heavens Treasure Temple is underway.

Eishiro Kite VS Kuranosuke Shiraishi!

Boom!

Boom!

The arena resounds with an intensely fierce rally.

Whether at the Kyushu Tournament or the Kansai Tournament, Higa Middle School had long been suppressed by Lion Music Middle School, but not long ago the two Kyushu champions both transferred.

With the obstacles removed, it is finally Higa Middle School's turn to shine!

Eishiro Kite's expression is icy; as the captain of Higa Middle School he is nicknamed "the Assassin," showing his desire to win.

Whoosh.

With a crack that splits the air, his figure suddenly appears at the right corner of the baseline, crossing half the court in an instant, and his racket swings sharply.

Boom!

"Big Spoon Qian!"

A heavy, muffled thud rings out as the tennis ball leaps over the net; its winding, ever‑changing trajectory dazzles and confounds.

Up to now in the match, he has displayed an extraordinarily astonishing tennis skill.

All‑direction shrinking‑earth technique, explosively powerful serve, varied ball trajectories, and sharp play

What Eishiro embodies is an absolute national‑level standard!

However.

His opponent, however, is the one dubbed "the Bible," Kuranosuke Shiraishi.

Tap tap

Baishi's steps shift lightly; faced with such a complex incoming ball, his movements are unhurried, full of rhythmic cadence.

"Eishiro.

Your tennis is still pretty flashy, but all the tricks are useless."

A smile curls his mouth; Baishi exudes an air of mastering everything.

The ball's trajectory reflects in his eyes, yet soon he spots a slight discord in that winding flash.

He bends his arm, swings the racket downwards, the strings fiercely scraping the ball's surface.

Boom!

The tennis ball plummets from the sky and slams hard onto the ground.

"Hm."

Eishiro's gaze is sharp; he steps forward with his right foot and instantly reaches the ball's landing spot.

"Stop bragging, le"

As the racket swings, he lets out a loud shout, then abruptly stops—

Heh heh heh.

A harsh friction sound erupts; the tennis ball spins like a Thomas full‑rotation, whirling madly on the ground, forming a perfect arc.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Eishiro's racket swings through empty air, his body stiffens in place, a ring of ball shadows bounces up and spins from the ground, like blooming fireworks, several golden streaks scatter, piercing his side.

"Game, Four Heavens Treasure Temple Kuranosuke Shiraishi, 3‑1!"

Boom!

"Game, Four Heavens Treasure Temple Kuranosuke Shiraishi, 6‑1!"

"Match over, Four Heavens Treasure Temple wins, score 3:0!"

The referee's voice comes over the loudspeaker; Baishi's left hand, wrapped in a white bandage, lightly pats his head, revealing a delighted smile.

"This guy"

Looking at the bleak score on the board, Eishiro's face darkens, and when he turns to Shiraishi, his eyes become especially solemn.

"Possessing terrifying calm and focus, a technique that can be called perfect, with no superfluous movements at all."

"The name 'Bible' lives up to its reputation."

"."

"Eishiro, are you okay?" Kojiro Saeki leaned over carefully.

"Heh, what a stupid question.

But when the National Competition comes, I'll settle this score."

A flash of cold light glints off the mirror; Eishiro glances at Shiraishi once more, then walks off the court holding his racket.

"Jiai, double the training time later!"

"Ah? No~"

"Shiraishi, good play." Shuichiro Oishi said nonchalantly, a toothpick tucked in his mouth.

He merely offered a simple compliment, without much excitement.

The Kansai Tournament has ended, but the upcoming National Competition is the main event; Rikkaidai sits high upon his throne, awaiting their challenge!

"Coach, I want to go to Tokyo."

After returning to the team, Shiraishi doesn't rest and directly makes a request to Shuichiro Oishi.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Shuichiro Oishi neither agreed nor refused.

I want to go investigate the Kanto tournament, and also see Jiecheng Wu, whom the Ice Emperor Remnant Division mentioned.

Bai Shi's words halted, then he looked at the Shitian Yin beside him with his hands clasped like a hermit, light swirling in his eyes.

Ah Yin, I heard your younger brother is also there; don't you want to meet him?

The younger brother indeed studies at Budongfeng. Shitian Yin opened his eyes, his towering frame exuding a powerful pressure.

Coach, please help me submit a leave request together.

Oh! Bai Shi, Ah Yin, you want to leave me and look for new loves~ Du Bian Xiu hadn't spoken yet, while the golden Xiaochun twisted her body and let out a strange shriek.

It caused Bai Shi's head to fill with black lines.

Besides Four Heavens Treasure Temple, Shen Na Chuan Xian's Rimi University is also keeping an eye on Budongfeng.

Physical training room.

"One hundred thirty‑one, one hundred thirty‑two."

Sanada supported himself on two fingers of one hand, doing push‑ups, sweat streaming down his hair onto the floor.

"According to Qie Yuan's description, the man exuding a terrifying lion‑like aura should be the ace of the former Lion Music Middle School, one of the Kyushu twin heroes, Ju Jiping."

Liu Lian Er, with his soft doll‑like head, squinted his eyes and said in a somewhat serious tone.

"Hoo‑cha. That guy who beat Shouzu, have you gathered his information yet?"

Sanada's eyes flickered as he did push‑ups and asked Liu Lian Er.

"Jiecheng Wu, second‑year, captain of Budongfeng's tennis club, an all‑round player.

He possesses a beast's aura, and a technique called Thunder Triple Concerto; the tennis balls he hits are like thunder."

Liu Lian Er opened a new notebook, his eyelids drooping.

"Thus some call him the Thunder‑Commanding Man."

No reply.

"One hundred ninety‑three."

"Two hundred!"

Another brief gasp, the one‑handed push‑up finished, Sanada slowly adjusted his hat, his eyes beneath the brim cold and sharp.

"Ha, the Thunder‑Commanding Man? Such big talk—do you think you can become the Thunder God?"

At this moment, Xing Cun smiled, wearing a bright‑yellow team uniform as he walked over; seeing Sanada's demeanor, no one understood the reason better than he did.

Sanada once suffered a crushing defeat to Shouzu; he has since trained hard with Shouzu as his target, hoping one day to win back honorously.

But before he could fulfill his wish, Shouzu had already been beaten by Jiecheng Wu.

Sanada naturally felt unwilling in his heart.

"Are you still tangled over Tezuka Kunimitsu's matter?"

"When the Kanto tournament comes, there will be a chance~" Xing Cun's eyes flashed, and he laughed, patting Sanada's shoulder.

"Hmm."

England, a certain orthopedics hospital.

Shouzu lay on a white hospital bed, looking at the messages on his phone.

Bu Er was reporting to him on Seigaku's tennis club situation; everyone was training orderly according to the plan set by A Qian, so he need not worry.

Besides that, there was another pleasant surprise.

Tao Cheng and Hai Tang had begun trying to form a doubles partnership; although their temperaments clash and they constantly argue, in doubles they surprisingly have great chemistry.

Reading Bu Er's successive messages, Shouzu's mouth curved into a faint smile, and his heart grew increasingly eager.

"Get better quickly.

We must get back before the National Competition."

At this moment.

"Ouch~ so painful! So painful~"

"It hurts~ my hand~"

A few cries of pain echoed in the corridor outside the ward, then gradually faded away.

Shouzu frowned; after arriving in England, he found that injured tennis players here were unusually many.

Every so often, a newcomer would scream miserably as they were pushed into the ward.

He had spoken with people, and from their mouths Shouzu learned of a secret organization called "Clark".

Because Bai Shi's setting collection includes his second‑year visit to Kanto to watch the Kanto tournament, the Kansai tournament in this book is arranged before the Kanto tournament.
