Chapter 42

Hearing this, all the participating players went onto the court.

Kamishiro Aki took note.

Seigaku's lineup included the so-called Golden Pair, Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro.

These two were definitely doubles.

There were also Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru.

Echizen Ryoma also went onto the court.

And then there were Fuji Syusuke and Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Now it could be confirmed that someone would eventually run into Tezuka Kunimitsu.

It was just unknown which Singles position he was in.

As for Echizen Ryoma, Momoshiro Takeshi, and Kaido Kaoru, these three,

it was still unclear who was doubles and who was singles.

But it was just these people.

Similarly, Fuji Syusuke was also observing the players Hyotei sent out.

Subsequently, both sides stood in position.

Tezuka Kunimitsu and Atobe Keigo faced each other.

Atobe Keigo said to Tezuka Kunimitsu,

"Tezuka, I hope we can meet."

"I'm looking forward to our duel."

Hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu extended his hand and said,

"I think so too."

"But our Seigaku will definitely win."

Atobe Keigo smiled and shook Tezuka's hand,

"No, Hyotei will win!"

Just as he finished saying this, the sound of the Hyotei cheering squad immediately rang out through the arena.

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Victory! Victory!"

Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but complain,

"Ouch, their momentum is so strong!"

Seeing this, Oishi Shuichiro smiled and said,

"Eiji, don't worry, we will definitely win."

Kikumaru Eiji nodded.

"Yeah!"

The two of them said one thing after another; Kamishiro Aki couldn't even watch anymore.

Although doubles require chemistry, there was no need for this.

Echizen Ryoma, who shook hands with Kamishiro Aki,

only said one thing.

"I will definitely defeat you!"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki obtained a piece of information.

It looked like Echizen Ryoma was in Singles.

Otherwise, his expression wouldn't be this happy.

If it were doubles, he should be very depressed.

If that was the case,

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru would form a doubles pair.

Good grief!

As expected of Ryuzaki Sumire.

Actually making two arch-rivals form a doubles pair.

Really casual.

After the handshake was finished, the umpire hurriedly blew the whistle and shouted,

"I now announce!"

"Metropolitan Tournament Finals!"

"The match between Hyotei Academy vs. Seishun Academy officially begins!"

"Will the Doubles 2 players from both sides please get ready."

It was finally about to start.

At this time, Mukahi Gakuto and Oshitari Yuushi also started to prepare.

At the same time, the ones preparing on the Seigaku side were Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru.

Kamishiro Aki really hadn't guessed wrong.

Subsequently, the umpire asked the Doubles 2 players to go onto the court for the match.

As a result, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru started arguing.

"Don't you dare drag me down!"

"You're the one!"

"I really don't know what the coach is thinking, actually making me play doubles with this stinky viper."

"Hiss~ Say that again!?"

"I'll say it, stinky viper!"

"Damn it! Want to fight, huh!?"

"Let's fight, who's afraid of who!?"

They were about to fight before even starting.

With this kind of chemistry, how could they possibly beat Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto?

Anyway, Kamishiro Aki felt there was no chance.

Don't look at how amazing it's described in the anime, where they can suddenly become very harmonious at critical moments.

Doubles isn't something that can become strong all of a sudden.

After all, doubles require chemistry, not passion.

At this time, the umpire blew the whistle and shouted,

"The Doubles 2 match officially begins!"

"The first serve of this match is by Hyotei Academy's Oshitari Yuushi!"

Good luck, it was actually Oshitari Yuushi serving first.

Oshitari Yuushi did a jump serve.

It went straight to the middle area!

"Boom!"

The moment the tennis ball crossed the net,

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru both moved.

Subsequently, neither of them paid attention to the other.

They collided hard.

Seeing this, the umpire shook his head and said,

"15:0!"

A point scored directly from the serve!

Just as Kamishiro Aki thought.

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru's chemistry was too poor.

They didn't return a single ball in the first game.

"Boom!"

As the tennis ball landed, the umpire hurriedly called the score.

"1:0!"

Seeing this, the Hyotei cheering squad shouted directly!

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Victory! Victory!"

The momentum ignited all at once!

Seeing this, Oshitari Yuushi pushed up his glasses and said,

"Seigaku is looking down on us too much, actually sending two monkeys to play against us."

Hearing this, Mukahi Gakuto couldn't help but nod.

"Exactly, exactly, and I even warmed up early in the morning."

However, Oshitari Yuushi still said,

"Still, don't let your guard down."

"Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru are both good singles players."

"Although their combination in doubles isn't very good,"

"if they use their singles style to play doubles, they are still very troublesome."

Hearing this analysis, Mukahi Gakuto nodded.

Oshitari Yuushi was like Hyotei's strategist.

Listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

However, Oshitari Yuushi was overthinking it.

Those two didn't do that at all.

They lost another game in the second set because they couldn't coordinate.

The third set was the same.

It wasn't until the fourth set that they thought of using the singles style to play doubles.

In other words, they had reached a communication agreement.

Actually, Momoshiro Takeshi had thought of it long ago.

Kaido Kaoru had too.

But both were hindered by pride and didn't say it out loud.

But they had already lost three games in a row.

If they lost any more, they would really lose.

Compared to pride, they still wanted to win!

So they reached a unified suggestion.

Because they suddenly used the singles style to play doubles,

Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto were caught off guard.

Even though they were prepared, they still lost a game all of a sudden.

"Boom!"

As the tennis ball landed, the score became 3:1.

And at this moment, Mukahi Gakuto and Oshitari Yuushi had already adapted to their singles style.

In the fourth game, their coordination became more and more harmonious.

Oshitari Yuushi lured the opponent into hitting a lob.

Subsequently, Mukahi Gakuto directly utilized his outstanding jumping ability to complete a smash!

Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru's singles-style doubles also started to become chaotic.

In the end, Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto won this match with outstanding coordination!

The score was 6:1!

Seeing this result, Kamishiro Aki was not surprised at all.

With Oshitari Yuushi there, it was hard to lose.

But it was also Seigaku's poor arrangement.

If Ryuzaki Sumire had placed Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro in the Doubles 2 position,

maybe it would have been hard to say.

Next was the Doubles 1 match.

The Doubles 1 match was even more evenly matched.

Seigaku's Golden Pair vs. Hyotei's Golden Pair!

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro vs. Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Chotaro.

A very watchable match!

Kamishiro Aki couldn't say who would win either.

At this time, the umpire blew the whistle and shouted,

"The Doubles 1 match officially begins!"

"The first serve of this match is by Hyotei's Ohtori Chotaro!"

Hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro's expressions became serious.

Because they had witnessed Ohtori Chotaro's heavy serve!

It was very lethal!

They didn't know if they could return it.

Subsequently, Ohtori Chotaro tossed the tennis ball up.

He shouted,

"One-ball soul!"

"Boom!"
