The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 34 Return
"The game is over, Rikkai University wins, the total score is 3 to 0"

"The winner of this Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament is Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School!"

Kanagawa Prefecture.

At the finals venue of the county conference, as the third inning came to an end, the referee loudly announced the result of the match.

Not surprisingly, this outcome was determined from the moment Rikkai University attended the county conference.

Yanagi Renji calmly put away his tennis racket and walked back to the rest area of ​​Rikkai University.

"Thank you for your hard work, Liu."

Yukimura Seiichi greeted him with a smile and handed him a clean towel.

"An opponent of this level is nothing." Yanagi Renji took the towel and wiped it casually. In fact, he was not sweating at all.

"I've packed your things. Get ready to line up to receive your prize." Genichirō Sanada said nonchalantly.

"Well, let's go."

To everyone at Rikkai University, the county conference was just a small episode.

Before Yanagi Renji's third game started, the others had already packed up all their belongings and were waiting to receive their awards calmly after the game.

"Congratulations to everyone at Rikkai University. You must work harder in this year's Kanto Tournament." The staff handed the championship trophy to the leader Yukimura Seiichi and encouraged him.

"Thank you, we will." Yukimura Seiichi accepted the trophy with his signature smile.

At the side, Marui Bunta weighed the gold medal in his hand and said boredly: "Come to think of it, Maya didn't make it back to receive the award. What a pity."

"Didn't we say we were going to Tokyo? If we watch the game there and then come back, we really won't be able to make it." Niou Masaharu analyzed with his head tilted.

While a few people were still guessing what was happening on Yuki Maya's side, Yukimura Seiichi had already returned to the team with the trophy.

He naturally heard what the others were discussing, so he said, "It doesn't matter if Maye didn't make it. I'll bring the medal to him when we get back to school."

"That's all we can do." Marui Bunta shrugged indifferently, since the only classmates here were Yukimura Seiichi and Yuuki Maya.

"I said--"

Maori Jusaburo, who had been slacking off and not saying anything, looked in a certain direction and suddenly interrupted, "You don't have to worry about this anymore, because that guy is here.

The people at Rikkai University followed Mori Jusaburo's gaze and saw a black-haired boy wearing the same color uniform as them, slowly walking towards them.

After a while, other people from Rikkai University gathered around.

"Here, your medal. I was going to ask Yukimura to bring it to you when we returned to school." Marui Bunta handed it over.

"Thank you." Maya Yuuki thanked after taking it.

"What's the situation in Tokyo?" Yukimura Seiichi asked calmly.

"It's lively there, but that's all." Yuuki Maya said simply.

"Is that so? It's a prosperous Tokyo indeed."

Yukimura Seiichi nodded, understood the meaning of his words, laughed and stopped asking questions.

"Have you seen Tezuka?!" Compared to Yukimura Seiichi's indifference, Sanada Genichirō is obviously very concerned.

"Well, I met you, and I brought your words with me."

"Yeah, that's good."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Genichirō Sanada showed a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes, but Yuuki Maya's next words directly poured a bucket of cold water on his head. "But Sanada, it will be difficult for you to take revenge on Tezuka at your current level."

"What?!" Genichirō Sanada's face froze and his expression suddenly looked a little ugly.

He had always been thinking about how to avenge his previous humiliation against Tezuka Kunimitsu, but now he found it difficult to accept what Yuuki Maya said.

"Your mine has too many flaws now, and needs to be further improved."

"Anyway, Sanada, the reason I told you this is just to remind you that if you want to defeat Tezuka, you still need more training," Yuuki Maya suggested seriously.

"...I understand." Genichirō Sanada's face darkened slightly, with a look of reluctance and discomfort on his face.

If someone else said this, he might not believe it, but when it came from Yuuki Maya's mouth, he was very convinced.

"As for the rest, the strongest school in Tokyo this year should still be Hyotei, but it won't pose any threat to us, so I suggest that Liu collect some information about schools in Kansai as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Yanagi Renji nodded in response.

Since Yuuki Maya said so, in Yanagi Renji's opinion, there is indeed no school worth noting in Kanto this year.

However, Kansai has always been a place that Rikkai University needs to guard against.

Then, several people led the team out of the venue while chatting. Yukimura Seiichi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Maya, regarding the Kanto Conference, which position do you want to take?"

Although the regional competition and county tournament are just formalities for Rikkai University, the Kanto tournament is extremely important to Rikkai University, so naturally they have to send out all their main forces.

In the past, Yuuki Maya's position at Rikkai University was to be a free agent in singles one to singles three, and she would even occasionally play in doubles.

But now the team structure has changed. The new doubles combination needs more games to get used to each other, and the previous methods are no longer applicable to the current Rikkai University team.

According to Rikkai University's principle that the strong are supreme, Yukimura Seiichi doesn't mind putting Yuki Maya in the singles position at this time.

However, it is still necessary to ask the person's opinion, so he asked this question.

"The Kanto Tournament? Let me think about it." Yuuki Maya pondered for a moment and said, "Put me in the third position for the time being."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

This answer surprised Yukimura Seiichi. In his opinion, letting Yuki Maya play alone was a waste of talent.

"It's very simple. If I don't make three solo appearances, then I will only have one chance to appear in the entire Kanto Tournament." Yuuki Maya said jokingly.

"Haha, that's true. Then I'll have to let you play the singles number three position for the time being." Yukimura Seiichi, who obviously understood the meaning of the words immediately, smiled knowingly.

Because just as Maya Yuuki said, except for the first round where Rikkai University must play a full five innings as required, they will win the subsequent games with a score of 5-3 if nothing unexpected happens.

Therefore, if he does not appear in the first three games, then just as Maya Yuuki said, he will not have many opportunities to appear in this Kanto Tournament.

This is the absolute strength of Rikkai University as the overlord of Kanto, which is so far ahead that all other participating schools in Kanto are far behind.

"Wow - if Mayuro comes to fight three people alone, then his opponent will be too miserable. Don't you think it's Kirihara?" Marui Bunta couldn't help but exclaimed when he came over.

Someone more terrifying than Sanada will actually appear in singles three. It is hard to imagine how many players will start to doubt their lives after playing against Maya Yuuki.

Kirihara Akaya nodded in agreement. If he were a player from another school, he would rather face the sour face of Vice Captain Sanada than fight with Senior Yuki.

In his opinion, if Vice Captain Sanada was the mountain that he could see with his naked eyes and could not cross for the time being, then Senior Yuki was the abyss of despair that was bottomless, immeasurable, and that made people dare not look directly at it.

At least for now, Kirihara Akaya has absolutely no courage to fight him.
