Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Looking at the people who were full of fighting spirit, Atobe felt very satisfied.

"Go, my soldiers! Win the Kanto Tournament!"

……

A change of style

Tianyu and Dashi stood on the sidelines and shook hands before the game.

However, in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, Tianyu felt a sense of helplessness and a wry smile in his heart. He muttered to himself, "God, what bad luck have I had? To have a minister like Jibe?"

Originally, this part was supposed to be handled by Atobe Keigo himself, but things are unpredictable. When Atobe learned that the opponent was not the expected Tezuka Kunimitsu, his originally high fighting spirit seemed to cool down a bit. (Tianyu: Atobe, why are you pretending? Didn't you know that Tezuka doesn't fight? If you don't want to go, just say so.)

He waved his hand gently and handed this "important task" to Tianyu in an unquestionable manner.

"Well, since the other party is also at the vice-minister level, let our vice-minister of Bingdi deal with it."

There was a hint of amusement in Atobe's words.

However, to Tianyu, this sounded more like a sudden challenge, which gave him a headache. He knew that the original character Dashi had made some embarrassing moves at this time, so how should he respond then?

……

As expected, the famous scene came.

After the handshake, Oishi's attitude initially seemed quite reserved, even a little timid, as if he was intimidated by the aura of Hyotei Academy that he was about to face.

However, when he realized that he was not only standing here as an individual, but also carrying the expectations and honor of all the members of Qingxue, his inner strength gradually awakened.

He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming firm and full of fighting spirit. He then issued a battle declaration to Tianyu: "We, Seigaku, must defeat you, Hyotei, here today and win the Kanto Tournament."

Tianyu didn't show much emotion on his face when he heard this, but just a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile seemed to contain recognition of Qingxue's strength, and also seemed to carry a hint of provocation.

"Oh? Really?" He opened his red lips slightly, his voice gentle but full of power, "Then I really can't wait to see what kind of surprises you, Qingxue, can bring. I'm looking forward to your next performance, I hope you won't let me down."

Dashi was caught off guard by this sudden response. He obviously did not expect Tianyu to face his declaration of war so calmly.

He stood there in a daze, a hint of surprise and confusion flashing in his eyes.

Just as Dashi was immersed in complicated thoughts, Tianyu had already made the next move.

He slowly turned around, with his back to the crowd, and prepared to leave this tense venue.

His back looked so calm, as if everything was under control.

Atobe Keigo naturally also heard the conversation between Tianyu and Oishi.

He wanted to say something, perhaps because he was a little dissatisfied with Tianyu. After all, the other party had provoked him to his face, and it would be too cowardly for the representative of Bingdi not to respond.

However, just when everyone thought Tianyu was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, looked back at everyone, and said with a hint of amusement in his tone, "I hope this match is interesting. Don't let us, Hyotei, destroy the suspense of the game in the first three games. After all, such a rare training opportunity doesn't come often."

After saying this, Tianyu finally stopped staying. He walked back to the audience seats with light steps, leaving a group of opponents looking at each other in confusion.

Anger and dissatisfaction instantly appeared on the faces of everyone in Qingxue. They felt that they were being looked down upon.

This made them realize that Hyotei didn't see this match as a real challenge, but rather as a relaxing warm-up exercise.

Tianyu's tone revealed a sense of confidence and disdain, as if he thought he could easily defeat Qingxue in just three games.

This attitude ignited the fighting spirit of the members of Qingxue. They were determined to prove their strength and let Hyotei know that they were no ordinary people.

As soon as Tianyu came back, he saw Atobe giving him a thumbs up. "When it comes to provoking opponents, you're still the best. Why don't you take over from now on?"

Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, "Please spare me, President."

……

Immediately afterwards, the highly anticipated doubles match was about to begin. The atmosphere in the entire venue was tense and heated, as if even the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The audience's eyes were all focused on the players from both sides who were about to appear, looking forward to another exciting showdown.

Just as Tianyu had expected before the game, Ryuzaki Sumire decisively decided to let the powerful golden combination of Oishi and Kikumaru take the stage first.

Their tacit cooperation and outstanding strength have been witnessed in past competitions and they are the indispensable backbone of Qingxue.

Faced with such a strong opponent, Hyotei was naturally unwilling to be outdone. They sent Shishido and Feng, known as the "Platinum Combination", to fight.

After hearing this list of appearances, Qingxue's coach, Ryuuzaki Sumire, felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

She knew very well how difficult this match would be, and the opponent had obviously seen through Qingxue's tactical arrangements.

(Tianyu: This time I’m in the atmosphere.)

However, as an experienced coach, Teacher Ryuzaki also understands that the outcome of the game often depends on the players' on-the-spot performance and mental state. She can only silently cheer for her players.

After the game started, players on both sides quickly got into the game.

Thanks to years of tacit cooperation and unremitting efforts, Oishi and Kikumaru showed amazing strength and fighting spirit on the court.

However, due to the short time intervals between games, they did not have much time for targeted training and improvement, which made them seem somewhat powerless when facing the fierce offensive of the Hyotei Platinum combination.

Despite this, they still relied on their tenacious will and superb skills to deal with their opponents, striving for every scoring opportunity.

As time went by, the competition gradually entered a white-hot stage.

The audience's hearts also fluctuated with the progress of the game, sometimes cheering for Seigaku's wonderful performance, and sometimes holding their breath for Hyotei's powerful counterattack.

However, in this contest of strength and wisdom, Hyotei's platinum combination was ultimately superior, and they won the game with a hard-fought score of "6-3".

Although the result of the game was not satisfactory, Qingxue did not feel depressed.

Because they saw hope and the game was not one-sided.

But when they heard the list of the next game, everyone took a deep breath.
