The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 314: Ochi's decision, Ryuga's appearance (resurrection)
"The two little guys did a great job."

When Chico and Alan equalized the score, Nanjiro Echizen in the American team's coaching booth smiled and whispered praises.

Although he never doubted the strength of the American team, the disadvantage in the beginning was so great that he thought his team would most likely lose the first two games.

"Old man, you still don't know enough about our team."

On the side, Ryuya Echizen, with his arm resting on the coach's chair, spoke in a slightly teasing tone, obviously finding out his father's shortcomings and making sarcastic remarks.

"This is indeed my question, but I have a very deep understanding of you and Ryoma." Nanjiro turned his head and smiled meaningfully.

"Oh, old man, do you really understand me?"

In response to Nanjiro's answer, Echizen Ryuga's expression also restrained at this moment.

The hint of dissatisfaction in his tone instantly made the smile on Nanjiro's face disappear.

The conversation between the two ended in vain, and at this moment, the break also ended.

After the players from both sides returned to their respective half of the court, the third set of the game continued.

There is no doubt that both sides quickly entered the state of the previous game, and the synchronization and ability resonance were activated in just a moment.

However, even though Maori and Ochi were in better competitive form than in the previous game, they were unable to score smoothly.

Chico's [Strong Luck] prevented Ochi Gekko's Mach from winning with one strike, and Alan's [Surgeon] suppressed Mori Jusaburo's flexible physical abilities.

1 is better than 0
2 is better than 0
3 is better than 0
……

The Japanese team is now further and further away from winning this doubles match.

On the other side, Alan fired another ball back towards Maori's side.

At this time, Maori had already been hit by the opponent's ability, and the arm holding the racket was forcibly dislocated before he could swing it.

"Damn it! How could I let Ochi-senpai lose such a crucial match? This is related to his career!"

Maori didn't want to just watch the ball fly past him, so he ignored the pain in his shoulder and twisted his waist to force himself to catch the ball.

Now he is not even afraid of broken bones, and he has only one thought in his mind - that is to win this game for Ochi.

However, just when he was about to successfully fight back, a big hand appeared from behind and firmly grabbed his wrist.

"That's enough, Maori."

An emotionless voice came from behind Maori, it was Ochi Gekko.

"Senior Ochi, why are you..."

Maori looked at Ochi who was trying to stop him with great confusion, wanting to get his explanation.

"That day, you were hiding at the door and heard the conversation between the coach and me." After looking at the other party, Ochi replied lightly.

Maori's pupils fluttered. He didn't expect that what he accidentally overheard was that Ochi had already discovered his existence at that time.

"I don't want losing today's game because of me to affect your future career path!" Maori Jusaburo said excitedly.

Among this group of high school students, few can meet the requirements to become professionals, so he hopes that Ochi can continue to move forward in tennis for them, reach higher peaks, and appreciate more scenery.

"Later that day, I rejected the coach's advice." Ochi Moonlight said calmly.

"Why?! Ochi you…"

Maori looked at the other party in disbelief. He didn't understand why Ochi did this.

"Because you are my partner..."

No complicated sentences were used to describe the process, but when Ochi spoke, Maori found that he understood the meaning of Ochi's words.

Because you are my partner, we should embark on the professional journey together.

"So this is what you have always thought..." Mao Li was speechless and felt a little guilty because he had thought about it in this way.

"Stop hurting your arm."

At this time, Ochi Gekko had already released his hand that was holding the opponent's wrist and slowly walked in front of the referee.

"We forfeit this game." Ochi said coldly.

The referee was stunned at first when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and blew the whistle.

"Beep——"

"Since the Japanese team has requested to forfeit, the winner of this doubles match is the American team!"

The scoreboard hanging in the air immediately changed, and the total score between the two sides, which was originally 0 to 1, became 1 to 1 at this moment.

This scene also surprised the audience. No one could have thought that the Japanese team would give up directly in such a decisive game.

Even Chico and Alan who were still on the field were surprised, because they had already prepared for the opponent's desperate counterattack.

"Why don't you want your partner to get seriously injured? He's a really nice guy."

In the American team's coaching booth, Nanjiro, who saw through everything, held his chin and muttered to himself.

He had a feeling that the next time he would see this duo, it would definitely be on a bigger international stage.

On the other side, in the Japanese team's preparation area, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Looking at Mori and Ochi returning from the stadium, Byodoin crossed his arms and frowned, but did not say anything harsh. The other high school and junior high school students had similar expressions.

Because of the situation after the third set of this doubles match, everyone knew that Maori and Ochi had tried their best, but their chances of winning were still very slim.

"Well, victory and defeat are common in the military. It's just a loss. We can just win it back next time."

Compared to the gloomy voices of the others, Yuuki Maya slowly stood up and spoke with a relaxed expression.

"Yes, the next player to play is Yuki!"

Marui Bunta's originally somewhat worried expression immediately relaxed after hearing Yuuki Maya's words.

Not only him, but everyone else had the same expression.

No one would doubt Yuuki Maya's strength.

In this way, although they lost a game, the situation is not as bad as they thought.

Before going on stage, Byodoin Phoenix said in a deep voice: "I can only rely on you, Yuuki."

"Don't worry, for me, there is no such thing as losing." Yuuki Maya replied with a chuckle.

At the same time, in the preparation area of ​​the American team, Echizen Ryuya stood up in a somewhat awkward manner, picked up the racket, walked to the side of Nanjiro and said, "Old man, it's finally my turn to play."

"Hey, don't lose." Nanjiro said with a smile.

"Lose? I won't lose until I defeat you."

Echizen Ryuga stared at Nanjiro, and his originally casual eyes became extremely serious.

The eyes of both sides met directly, and the atmosphere was so weird that Reinhardt on the side wanted to step forward and interrupt.

Fortunately, at this moment, the referee's voice spread throughout the venue.

"The third singles match will begin next. Players from both teams please enter the venue as soon as possible."

The rest time is over, and a crucial battle to determine who will get the match point first is about to begin.
