Chapter 82

Seeing him like this, Tian Xian wanted to laugh.

Serves you right, for mocking me!

Having a car is nothing special, I still arrived faster than you.

While Atobe Keigo was still thinking, other team members arrived one after another.

At the same time, the Jōsei Shōnan team members also arrived at the venue entrance.

They arrived in one bus.

They must have gone to the school first and then set off together.

This is good, but it's not friendly to students who live far from the school.

At this time, Jōsei Shōnan's coach, Hanamura Aoi, suddenly looked towards Tian Xian.

And it was with an expression of having found good material.

Tian Xian did not like this kind of look.

However, Hanamura Aoi's figure was indeed good, very charming.

Subsequently, Sakaki Taro led all of Hyotei to register.

The list this time was.

Doubles 2: Kabaji Munehiro, Mukahi Gakuto.

Doubles 1: Shishido Ryo, Ohtori Chotaro.

Singles 3: Akutagawa Jiro.

Singles 2: Tian Xian.

Singles 1: Atobe Keigo.

Oshitari Yuushi unexpectedly did not play.

At the same time, at Tian Xian's request, Sakaki Taro finally placed him in the Singles 2 position.

Actually, he preferred Singles 3.

If it were Singles 3, he would be 100% able to play the match.

Singles 2 was uncertain.

Sakaki Taro still wanted a more conservative arrangement.

Tian Xian felt a bit helpless.

For the previous match against Ginka, it didn't matter to him.

But this match was different.

The system had released a point mission!

A Hyotei victory was one point.

Tian Xian playing and winning his individual match was another point.

If he couldn't play, he would lose one point.

So Tian Xian still hoped that he could play.

As for why there were no points for the match against Ginka Middle School.

Perhaps the system also felt that Ginka Middle School was too weak.

Not even worth a single point.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle.

"Both captains, please lead your teams onto the court!"

Hearing this, Atobe Keigo patted Tian Xian on the shoulder and said.

"Let's go, Captain."

Immediately after, Tian Xian led all of Hyotei onto the match court as captain.

And this scene stunned everyone.

Those who came to watch today included Seigaku and Rikkai.

When they saw that it was Tian Xian leading the team, they were all stunned.

Echizen Ryoma's eyes revealed disbelief.

And on the Rikkai side, Sanada Genichiro confirmed what he had thought in his heart.

"Tian Xian is the captain."

"That means he really defeated Atobe Keigo."

"Someone who can defeat Atobe Keigo, just how strong are you?"

At this time, Kirihara Akaya looked at Tian Xian and asked Sanada Genichiro.

"Vice-Captain Sanada, that person is actually the captain."

"I remember Atobe was the captain."

"What do you think, Vice-Captain Sanada?"

Seeing this, Sanada Genichiro nodded.

"That's right, but that was before."

"Hyotei's current captain is Tian Xian."

"A first-year student."

"I ran into him yesterday."

"At that time, he was playing a match against a kid from Seigaku named Echizen Ryoma."

"Tian Xian's strength is quite formidable, directly crushing Echizen Ryoma."

"And his serve, he can actually make the tennis ball not bounce!"

"He is a quite difficult opponent to deal with."

Hearing these words, Kirihara Akaya revealed a surprised expression.

"Eh? Tian Xian is actually this strong?"

"And he was able to become captain as a first-year."

"I wonder if I have a chance to become captain."

It seemed like a joke, but it was actually his true feelings.

Kirihara Akaya really wanted to be captain.

How could Sanada Genichiro not see it.

He said very seriously.

"If you want to be captain, it's simple."

"First, defeat Nioh, then defeat me, and finally defeat the captain."

Kirihara Akaya hurriedly changed the subject upon hearing this.

"Vice-Captain Sanada, look, Seigaku is here too."

"How come I don't see Tezuka?"

Sanada Genichiro sighed.

"I heard Tezuka went to Germany for treatment."

"It's possible he won't be able to play in the Kanto Tournament."

Seeing this, Kirihara Akaya laughed.

"Does that mean they might not be able to advance to the National Tournament?"

Sanada Genichiro nodded.

The situation on the Seigaku side was indeed not optimistic.

Because Tezuka went to Germany for treatment, everyone suddenly lost their backbone.

And Echizen Ryoma had not yet set his mindset straight.

It was even more impossible for him to take on the heavy responsibility.

According to the current situation, the only one who could really play for Seigaku was Fuji Syusuke.

However, a tennis match is not decided by one game.

If Seigaku wants to qualify, they probably need some luck.

But these were not the main points.

Sanada Genichiro was here today to collect information on Tian Xian.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!

And he also wanted to see where Tian Xian was strong enough to defeat Atobe Keigo.

Not long after, the Doubles 2 match began.

Jōsei Shōnan's Doubles 2 were Tanaka Yohei and Tanaka Kohei.

Two twins, so cute, they must be boys.

If he didn't know this was a men's team tennis tournament, Tian Xian would have really thought those two were girls.

They were just too effeminate.

Playing against them were Kabaji Munehiro and Mukahi Gakuto.

Tian Xian thought they would definitely win.

But that was not the case.

Although those two looked effeminate, because they were twins.

Their doubles chemistry was very good.

They defeated Kabaji Munehiro and Mukahi Gakuto with a score of 6-3.

Although a bit surprised, it was within expectations.

The doubles combination of Kabaji Munehiro and Mukahi Gakuto was deliberately arranged by Sakaki Taro.

He just wanted to see if there was any possibility for this combination.

But obviously, there wasn't.

Kabaji Munehiro seemed more suited for singles.

Then it was the Doubles 1 match.

Jōsei Shōnan's Doubles 1 were Kiriyama Daichi and Ota Sho.

A bizarre combination of one very short and one very tall.

That guy named Kiriyama Daichi was 195cm tall!

Even taller than Kabaji Munehiro.

And his muscle mass was more developed than Kabaji Munehiro's!

A middle school student actually had the physique of a college student.

Hanamura Aoi was really a coach who was good at discovering good material.

However, their combination was too flashy.

They were completely no match for Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Chotaro.

The final score was 6-2.

The first two games were lost due to testing and the sudden style of play of one tall and one short.

After that, they didn't lose again.

In this way, the doubles matches became one win and one loss.

Tian Xian felt a little secretly happy inside.

Because he could play.

He was really a bit grateful that Sakaki Taro had arranged for Kabaji Munehiro and Mukahi Gakuto to play doubles today.

If it had been Oshitari Yuushi and Kabaji Munehiro or Oshitari Yuushi and Mukahi Gakuto.

Maybe he wouldn't have had a chance.

Immediately after was Singles 3.

Jōsei Shōnan's Singles 3 was Wakato Hiroshi.

He was a player who really liked to imitate professional tennis players.

His opponent was Akutagawa Jiro.

At this moment, Akutagawa Jiro walked onto the court looking like he hadn't woken up.

Seeing this, Wakato Hiroshi revealed a contemptuous smile and said.

"Oh my, oh my, oh my!"

"Are you Jiro?"

"Let me tell you, I've been looking forward to your magic volley."

Immediately, he reached out his hand, intending to shake hands with Akutagawa Jiro.

Akutagawa Jiro shook his hand with a sleepy look.

Wakato Hiroshi had never encountered such a casual opponent before.

He was a little angry inside.

Subsequently, he said.

"Then, I'll decide on the opponent I'll be playing against."

He was seen taking a cap out of his pocket and throwing it into the air.

The cap spun once and fell, and Wakato Hiroshi hurriedly grabbed it and wore it backward.

"Transform!"

Anyway, Tian Xian was dumbfounded.

Anime is one thing, but this is reality.

There really is someone this chuunibyou.

It was really unwatchable.

And Akutagawa Jiro seemed not to have seen it at all.

Because he hadn't woken up yet.

Subsequently, he yawned.

"Ha~"

Immediately after, he returned to the baseline to wait for the referee's announcement.

Seeing this, Wakato Hiroshi suddenly became furious.

"This guy! How dare he ignore my transformation!"

"Watch how I defeat you!"

At this time, the referee said.

"The Singles 3 match begins now, with Jōsei Shōnan's Wakato Hiroshi serving!"

Subsequently, Wakato Hiroshi took the tennis ball.

At this moment, Akutagawa Jiro hadn't woken up yet, but he had already set up his posture to prepare for a return.

Seeing this, Wakato Hiroshi served directly!

"Bang!"

The tennis ball crossed the net quickly!

Just when he thought he was going to score, Akutagawa Jiro swung his racket gently.

The tennis ball landed, bounced, and was hit back directly by his racket.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball grazed the net and landed.

Seeing this, the referee hurriedly announced the score.

"15-0!"

Seeing this scene, Wakato Hiroshi was dumbfounded.

How is this possible?

And Tian Xian was also stunned.

The ball speed of this Wakato Hiroshi was actually this slow.

When watching the anime before, he saw him going back and forth with Kaido Kaoru.

And it turned out to be just this?

Even Akutagawa Jiro, who didn't open his eyes, had a way to return it.
