Tennis: Bind Longma at the beginning, double the return

Chapter 189: District Qualifier Champion; New Rune

After the interview.

The opening ceremony of the national season begins.

After a series of tedious ceremonies, the district preliminaries officially began.

Qingxue was exempted from the first round of the competition.

Lin Nan asked Tezuka and the others to look around and feel how bad the district qualifiers were so as to avoid being disappointed later.

From the regional qualifiers to the second half of the metropolitan competition, the intensity will not be too high.

Lin Nan, QP and Yamato wandered around the field, watching the eye-catching matches in each area.

"Even Fudo Peak is bad this year."

Yamato shook his head.

With the graduation of Sekine Kazuki and Miyamoto Kan, Fudomine has declined, and each of them is weaker than the last.

Lin Nan was depressed: "In the future, let's change the pre-match mobilization meeting to a pre-match warning. Don't run out to fight garbage after getting all excited. The gap is too big, sizzle~"

As he said this, he took a big bite of the baguette in his hand.

QP beside him twitched his eyes, he couldn't understand how Lin Nan could eat so much, he obviously had no shortage of money.

Yamato sighed, "It can't be helped. We can still compete with strong schools like Hyotei and Yamabuki in the metropolitan tournament, but there's really nothing we can do about the regional tournament."

After all, last year’s district qualifiers were also quite shocking, it’s just that this year was even more outrageous.

"By the way, this year's district qualifiers have adopted new rules. Instead of playing a full five-game match in the first round, the entire regional tournament must be played in a full five-game match."

"What's the matter?"

"We have to play five full innings with this bunch of scum. Yamato, you lead the team. I want to go back to sleep."

.....

After some fun.

In about two hours, the first round of the district qualifiers was over.

After a half-hour break, the second round of competition began.

The school that Qingxue played was a school whose name had never been heard of in the original book, "Nochiyo Junior High School".

Lin Nan and QP did not play.

Yamato and Takashi Kawamura played doubles two, and Kikumaru Oishi played doubles one.

Qian plays singles three and Buer plays singles two.

Tezuka's final solo

Doubles two match begins.

Before going on stage, Kawamura Takashi swallowed and felt very uneasy.

He didn't expect that he would be able to compete so soon, and he was not mentally prepared at all. What if he fell behind?

Now Long's mind is full of such thoughts.

Yamato, as a teammate, has tried to comfort him, but unfortunately it didn't help much.

Yamato said helplessly: "Long, the opponent is very weak, don't have too much psychological burden."

“I…I know!”

Hearing the voice, Kawamura Takashi stood up straight abruptly. If you didn't know, you would think he was a new recruit standing at attention, with a determined and frightened look on his face.

"Let me do it~."

A soft voice floated from the side.

Then a racket suddenly appeared in front of Long. After he subconsciously grabbed the racket, something unexpected happened...

“Burning!”

"Kill them, Burning!"

Hot-blooded little fool is online...

"Pfft~" Kikumaru laughed: "Haha, Long's personality contrast is really big, meow~"

...

Nochiyo's battle preparation area.

Looking at the strange screams coming from the direction of Qingxue.

Several people looked puzzled.

"Is that person seriously ill?"

"Are you so happy to beat us.....Alas."

"Don't look so depressed. The game hasn't even started yet. Why are you so depressed?"

"There are so many new people in Qingxue, maybe we still have a chance."

"What the hell are you talking about, Minister?"

.....

Before the game even started, the players from Nochiyo Junior High School had lost all their spirits.

The national season adopts a knockout format.

Which good guy encounters the ultimate BOSS when he goes out?

How to describe this feeling.

Just like when you first learn boxing, your first opponent is Tyson.

Then Tyson took out the microphone and said that he was today's host and that the person he was going to fight was called Taylor, the man in the leather suit with horns on his head.

"Round 2 of the district qualifiers, Seigaku vs. Nochiyo, doubles 2 begins, both players please come on stage!"

The referee blows the whistle to start the game.

As Ryu is very offensive, Hannah arranged him as a frontcourt player, and Yamato as the backcourt backup.

Worth to talk about.

In addition to Lin Nan himself, there are also QP and Yamato.

The rune effects of Tezuka and others are delayed and will take effect within a month.

This is a function that Lin Nan developed when he was free.

If he had known there was a method to delay the effect, he wouldn't have talked about so many things last year, such as eye exercises and hand massage.

boom-!

The game started on the field.

With Yamato's current level 9 fifth dimension.

Although the basic level is still level 8, with the help of runes, the serve completely exceeds the opponent's ability to handle it.

A shadow passed by.

The Nochiyo duo lost the score without feeling anything.

After completing the scoring, seeing that the referee was still not announcing the decision, Yamato said helplessly: "Referee, the serve has already scored, aren't you going to announce the score?"

"Ok?"

"this....."

The referee's eyes widened, and after confirming the mark on the court, he quickly said, "Qingxue scores, the score is 15:0!"

"Oh~"

Kikumaru widened his eyes and said in surprise: "It was so fast, I saw many tennis balls flying across half the court."

Eiji has extremely strong dynamic vision, so he sees double images when he looks at fast-moving objects.

Oishi also said in confusion: "Why does it feel like Yamato-senpai's serve speed is faster than in the trials?"

"Cough cough~"

"Of course that's Yamato's hidden strength."

Lin Nan said without blushing or beating his heart.

I can't tell them that the effect of Yamato's rune was canceled at that time.

Although Yamato also raised questions that day.

But Lin Nan evaded the question by saying that he was not in good condition and had not warmed up enough.

The game score jumped quickly.

Under Yamato's cover, Kawamura Takashi fully utilized his violent hitting skills, making the two opponents suffer terribly.

The final match duration was fixed at 15 minutes.

If Yamato hadn't wanted Kawamura Takashi to experience more actual combat, the fight would have ended ten minutes ago.

The rest of the game was basically the same as the first one.

Although the rune power of Kikumaru and others has not yet exerted its full effect, that part of the blessing has already enabled the two of them to perform beyond their normal levels.

Doubles one lasts nine minutes and fifty-two seconds.

Singles Three lasts nine minutes and thirteen seconds.

Singles Two lasts eight minutes and fifty-seven seconds.

The singles last eight minutes and thirteen seconds.

In the end, Nochiyo Junior High School was swept out with a score of 5:0.

The opponent is rubbish.

Just when Kikumaru and others were still looking forward to someone slightly more powerful coming up.

As we were playing, we found out that our team had already won the regional championship, and we felt no pressure at all during the whole process.

After two days of competition, the intensity was not as high as usual training.

Even with the championship, I couldn't be happy at all. The atmosphere was silent when everyone was leaving.

"Everyone....."

Yamato wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Nan's wave of his hand.

Lin Nan said: "Let them digest it. They need to get used to the feeling of punching cotton. It's only a matter of time."

Now his thoughts were on the rune that popped out of the regional champion.

[Strength Growth Rune]: Increases the effect of strength training by an additional 100%, and increases the growth rate of strength-type skills by 50% for ordinary members, 100% for starters, and 200% for protagonists.

It turned out to be a new type of rune.

It comes in handy in daily training, especially for players like Takashi Kawamura.

Unfortunately, the rune space is now full.

Lin Nan removed the counterattack rune and equipped himself with the strength growth rune, waiting to change it when the game started.
