Chapter 116
The score was already 2:0.
Yanagi Renji suddenly smiled at Oshitari Gakuto.
"Interesting, I didn't expect you to be able to push me to this extent."
After speaking, Yanagi Renji opened his eyes directly!
The entire arena was shocked!
Yanagi Renji actually opened his eyes!
He was a squinty-eyed person just like Fuji Syusuke.
Now he had actually opened his eyes!
It looked like Yanagi Renji was going to get serious.
Seeing this, Oshitari Gakuto also prepared to use his full strength Two.
Even Inui Sadaharu had never seen Yanagi Renji open his eyes.
"5!?7. Preparation.? Use!! Group'!:8,.5:.;0..2,!9:6:5,0?!"1 He had been at the same school as Yanagi Renji before.
Even when they played against each other, he had never seen Yanagi Renji open his eyes.
It seems Rikkai Dai is very eager for this Kanto Tournament championship!
Even Kamishiro Aki hadn't expected them to be eager to this extent.
The third game begins.
Oshitari Gakuto serves, still using the high-speed net approach.
"Bang!"
As soon as the ball was served, Oshitari Gakuto immediately ran toward the net.
Immediately after, the ball crossed the net and landed.
"Bang!"
Yanagi Renji had been waiting early.
He directly hit a high lob!
"Bang!"
The ball flew directly over Oshitari Gakuto's head!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Oshitari Gakuto quickly looked back.
The speed of the lob was not fast, and Oshitari Gakuto caught up.
He didn't even wait for the ball to land; he intercepted it directly.
He swung his racket rapidly.
"Bang!"
The ball flew toward Yanagi Renji's court again.
At this time, everyone discovered that Yanagi Renji had arrived in front of the net!
He said.
"The probability of this ball hitting is 100%!"
Immediately after, he swung his racket rapidly.
"Bang! "four-six-zero""
The ball slammed fiercely into the ground in an instant.
Seeing this, Oshitari Gakuto quickly rushed toward the net.
But it was a step too late; the ball flew directly over his head from in front of him.
When the ball landed, the referee called the score.
"15:0!"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked!
So strong!
At this time, Kamishiro Aki couldn't help but open his Sharingan.
He observed Yanagi Renji's breathing rhythm.
It was indeed faster than before.
He understood.
Yanagi Renji opening his eyes was as if he had released a seal on his physical strength!
Now Yanagi Renji's speed was indeed faster than before.
His strength was also more powerful.
But this thing definitely had a time limit.
Once the time was up, Yanagi Renji would return to his normal level, or even fail to reach his normal level.
He was gambling now!
Gambling that his current physical strength could beat Oshitari Gakuto.
Just as Kamishiro Aki had guessed.
In the subsequent matches, Yanagi Renji clearly increased his speed.
Every ball was hit very rapidly!
"Bang!"
The ball landed fiercely right next to Oshitari Gakuto's feet.
The referee shouted.
"2:1!"
Oshitari Gakuto didn't score a single point in this game.
It must be said that Yanagi Renji with his eyes open is indeed very strong!
But Kamishiro Aki wasn't worried at all.
Because this situation couldn't last long.
After Yanagi Renji opened his eyes, Kamishiro Aki could clearly see his physical strength draining away.
At most, he could only last for two games.
After two games, his physical strength would be completely exhausted.
At that time, it would be Oshitari Gakuto's moment to turn things around.
But Inui Sadaharu didn't think so.
He said.
"The current Yanagi Renji is more than twice as strong as before."
"He had been hiding his strength all along!"
"Yanagi Renji, I didn't expect you to be hiding so deep!"
At this time, Kikumaru Eiji asked.
"Does that mean Yanagi Renji has a chance to win?"
Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu nodded.
"That's right, Yanagi Renji's winning percentage is now 90%!"
90%!
I didn't expect there to be a 90% chance!
But watching Oshitari Gakuto run all over the court and fail to receive the ball,
they felt that Yanagi Renji's chance of winning was indeed very high.
If Yanagi Renji wins the match, it will be a 2:2 tie!
Rikkai Dai once again has the qualification to compete for the Kanto Tournament championship!
Thinking of this, the entire Rikkai Dai team cheered and shouted for Yanagi Renji as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
"Ever-victorious! Rikkai Dai!"
"Let's go! Let's go! Rikkai Dai!"
"Professor! Professor!"
Hearing their shouts, the corners of Inui Sadaharu’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Yanagi Renji, I didn’t expect you to still remember our old titles.”
The title of “Professor” was one they had given each other back when they were in elementary school.
Yanagi Renji was called the Professor, and he, Inui Sadaharu, was called the Doctor.
After a moment of reflection, the look in Inui Sadaharu’s eyes, hidden behind his glasses, changed.
“Yanagi Renji, next time, we will definitely have a match on our own.”
At this moment, Yanagi Renji on the court was still swinging his racket with all his might!
“Bang!”
The tennis ball was smashed fiercely onto Akutagawa Jiro’s side of the court.
Immediately after, the umpire called the score.
“4:1!”
“Rikkai wins this game!”
They had taken four games!
Just two more wins and they would qualify to compete for the Kanto Tournament championship.
At this, Kirihara Akaya couldn’t help but cheer!
“Senior Renji! Well done!”
“Crush them! We’re going to take the championship!”
“Championship! Championship!”
Seeing him being so arrogant, Kamishiro Aki couldn’t help but speak up.
“Are you mistaken about something?”
“Even if Senior Jiro accidentally loses, that would only make it a 2:2 tie.”
“If you want to take the championship, you still have to win one more match.”
“If I’m not mistaken, your Singles 1 player is Kirihara Akaya, which is you, right?”
Once these words were spoken, the people from Rikkai fell into thought.
It was indeed true; it was too early to be happy.
And at this moment, Kamishiro Aki continued.
“If it really comes to that, does your Kirihara Akaya have a way to beat Senior Atobe?”
As soon as this question was asked.
Sanada Genichiro immediately realized the truth!
“Hyotei’s Singles 1 player is Atobe Keigo!”
“If Akaya goes directly against Atobe, the chance of winning is almost zero…”
Although this was said in a low voice, Kirihara Akaya heard it.
But he didn’t refute Sanada Genichiro.
Because he knew his own strength.
Seeing this, the entire Rikkai team fell into a low state once again.
And at this moment, Yanagi Renji on the court also began to feel that his stamina couldn’t keep up!
Akutagawa Jiro was no pushover!
He had been waiting for this opportunity!
Once Yanagi Renji’s stamina couldn’t keep up, that would be his chance!
Just then, the tennis ball was hit back by Yanagi Renji again.
Akutagawa Jiro hurriedly seized the opportunity and swung his racket fiercely!
“Bang!”
He hit a cross-court shot!
This meant that for Yanagi Renji to reach this ball, he would have to run across the entire court!
But his stamina was already starting to fail him.
It was impossible for him to reach this ball!
“Bang!”
The tennis ball landed heavily, and the umpire called the score.
“15:0!”
At this time, Akutagawa Jiro finally smiled and said to Kamishiro Aki.
“Captain Kamishiro, there’s no need for Atobe to step in; I won’t lose!”
As soon as he said this, the Hyotei cheering squad erupted into intense shouts!
“Hyotei! Hyotei!”
“Jiro! Jiro!”
“Victory! Victory!!!”
Although brief, the momentum was like a rainbow!
Seeing Akutagawa Jiro in this state, Kamishiro Aki knew it was settled.
In fact, he had already used his Sharingan to predict the final score between Akutagawa Jiro and Yanagi Renji.
According to the situation, the final score should be 6:4!
Unless some miracle happened.
But there wasn’t; no miracle occurred.
In the following match, because Yanagi Renji’s stamina was completely overdrawn, he couldn’t keep up with Akutagawa Jiro’s ball speed at all.
The final score was 6:4!
When the last ball fell, the entire Rikkai team felt somewhat dejected.
But there was nothing they could do; after all, even Sanada Genichiro had been shut out by Kamishiro Aki.
At this time, the umpire announced the final score.
“Match over!”
“Score 6:4!”
“Total score 3:1!”
“Hyotei wins this match!”
Once these words were spoken, Hyotei officially became the champion team of the Kanto Tournament!
The Hyotei cheering squad shouted again!
“Hyotei! Champion! Hyotei! Champion!”
Seeing this, Atobe Keigo was very excited!
But he didn’t show it too much.
However, Kamishiro Aki had already seen it.
He patted Atobe Keigo on the shoulder and said.
“Senior Atobe, our goal is the national championship!”
The national championship!
Atobe Keigo nodded very seriously.
“Good! The national championship, I’ll definitely take it!”
At this time, Akutagawa Jiro, who had returned to the team, couldn’t help but excitedly say to Kamishiro Aki.
“Kamishiro! That Yanagi Renji is really amazing!”
“Almost every ball was calculated to be out of my reach!”
“If he could improve his stamina, I really might have lost!”
Kamishiro Aki nodded; Yanagi Renji was truly strong, it was just that his stamina couldn’t keep up.
It was estimated that the next time they met, Yanagi Renji would become even stronger!
Rikkai missed out on the Kanto Tournament championship, and Yanagi Renji was very self-reproachful.
But someone was even more self-reproachful than him, and that was Sanada Genichiro.
He had been directly shut out by Kamishiro Aki.
