Chapter 256: Seigaku vs

The crowd was also shocked; they rarely saw Atobe Keigo comfort anyone.

And it was comforting someone from another school.

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo smiled.

"Why are you all staring at this Great One like that?"

"Are you overwhelmed by this Great One's beauty?"

As soon as he said this, everyone rolled their eyes.

But they couldn't say anything, after all, Atobe Keigo's looks truly qualified as handsome.

Afterwards, Atobe Keigo looked at Echizen Ryoma and said to the crowd.

"Although this Great One doesn't like this brat."

"But his ability to enter the realm of the Selfless State also proves his strength."

"This Great One just doesn't want him to lose confidence because of losing to Kamishiro."

"This Great One still expects to see you all in the finals."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Inui Sadaharu also came out to echo the sentiment.

"What Atobe said is correct."

"It's not that Echizen is too weak, but that Kamishiro is too strong."

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki unconsciously touched his nose.

The praise was too direct; he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

But this was indeed the truth; he was currently far, far stronger than everyone present.

Afterwards, the friendly match continued.

Fuji Syusuke challenged Inui Sadaharu.

Their strength was nearly equal, yet Fuji Syusuke held a slight edge.

The score was 6:4!

Since it wasn't an official match, Inui Sadaharu didn't go all out.

Fuji Syusuke was the same.

Otherwise, it would definitely have gone to a tie-breaker.

Next was Atobe Keigo versus Kaidoh Saeki.

To be honest, Kamishiro Aki didn't expect these two to face off.

Moreover, Kaidoh Saeki's growth rate was faster than he had imagined.

Although it didn't force Atobe Keigo to go all out, they fought evenly.

The final score was 6:2!

Atobe Keigo was, after all, the former Emperor of Hyotei; losing to Kaidoh Saeki here would be hard to explain.

Finally, it was the doubles match.

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro versus Shishido Ryo and Otori Chotaro!

Seigaku's Golden Doubles met Hyotei's Golden Doubles.

Although it was just a friendly match, both sides felt their doubles chemistry was superior.

However, the Opponent's Thought of both sides was unified: to stop just short of the limit.

In the end, Hyotei's Golden Doubles reached six games first.

The score was 6:4!

As time passed, the sun was about to set.

At the same time, the friendly match between Hyotei and Seigaku came to an end.

Watching the Hyotei school bus drive away, Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes and said seriously to everyone.

"Hyotei is still very strong; we need to become even stronger!"

Everyone nodded.

After today's battle, they deeply realized their strength was not powerful enough.

Especially Echizen Ryoma; he didn't expect to lose so thoroughly.

At the same time, the entire Seigaku team began to miss Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was far away in Germany.

At this very moment, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was currently in rehabilitation, suddenly sneezed.

He touched his nose and pushed up his glasses, which had been shaken.

"Hmm, the wind is a bit strong today."

"Continue rehabilitation with full concentration!"
