I am in Prince of Tennis, others are training me while I am lying down

Chapter 85 The semi-finals begin

Hearing footsteps and voices, Ju Jiping turned his head and looked to the other side of the field.

Several people wearing Rikkai University's yellow and white uniforms appeared on the field.

"Too lax!"

"Today is the semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament!"

The man in the black hat said, it was Genichirō Sanada from Rikkai University.

"So, I arrived one minute early today. That's already very considerate of you."

A faint voice came.

Ju Jiping couldn't see the person who was speaking as he was blocked by the person in front of him.

"Master is so amazing, his ability to control time is superb!"

A man with kelp hair said loudly.

Tachibana Kihei recognized that it was Kirihara Akaya, the ace player of the second year of Rikkai University.

The voice in the middle sounds so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere before.

Then, Tachibana Kihei saw Kirihara Akaya's body move slightly to the right, revealing a figure.

The figure was about 1 meters tall, slender, thin but strong.

This is……

Takahashi!

Ju Juping's eyes suddenly widened and his pupils contracted violently.

Staring closely at the thin figure.

Afraid that I recognized the wrong person.

It turned out to be Takahashi!

I didn't expect to see Takahashi in the Rikkai University team.

Tachibana Kippei was stunned with shock.

Recalling the time when he met Takahashi at the D-Kyoto regional qualifiers, Takahashi once said that he had a team. At that time, Tachibana Kihei thought that was Takahashi's refusal.

Because he looked down upon Fudomine's strength.

But I didn't expect that what Takahashi said was actually true.

He really has a team.

Rikkai University is still the king!

But why didn’t we see Takahashi in the national competition last year?

Didn't appear?

Tachibana Kippei speculated that Takahashi must have participated in last year's national competition and saw himself.

Otherwise, how could Takahashi recognize himself at a glance after changing his hairstyle and color in D-Kyoto?

And I, the person who was against Haida, actually knew nothing about it!

Rikkai University is too strong!

Even a strong player like Takahashi didn't even play in last year's national competition, but Rikkai University won.

Didn't Rikkai University show its full strength in last year's national competition?

After reacting, Tachibana Kiyohira was shocked again.

The true strength of Rikkai University is actually stronger than he thought!

Even more terrifying!

……

"Master, why does the black-haired guy across from you keep staring at you?"

Kirihara said with some dissatisfaction.

"Who?"

Following Kirihara's gaze, Takahashi also saw Tachibana Kipei.

Takahashi smiled at Tachibana Kihei as a greeting.

"Minister, what is the order of our appearance today?"

"It's almost time to go on stage. Minister, please tell us quickly so that we have time to prepare."

Sanada spoke up.

At the same time, it drew Takahashi's attention back.

It turned out that since Ginka withdrew from the first match of the Kanto Tournament, Sanada lost the bet and the order of appearance was decided by Takahashi alone.

Today, at the semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament, the competition is about to begin, but Sanada still doesn't know the order of appearance.

Not only Sanada, but everyone except Takahashi, no one knew the order of the match.

"Don't worry!"

"You'll know when you listen to the radio."

"Everyone is always ready to play and keep themselves in peak condition."

"This is also a rare way of cultivation!"

Takahashi Road.

"To test the players' on-the-spot reaction ability and stress resistance? That's a good way to do it."

Yanagi Renji spoke.

"It's like drawing a blind box, whoever you draw gets it? It's quite interesting."

Marui Bunta blew up the green bubble gum in his mouth and spoke.

Sanada remained silent as he watched everyone's reactions to Takahashi's concealment of the order of appearance.

Forget it, just treat it as a test of your psychological quality.

Everyone agreed, so what could he do?

……

"Now, the match between Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School and Fudomine School will begin."

"The first match to begin is the doubles match number two, with Ishida Tetsu and Sakurai Masaya from Fudomine taking on Yagyu Hiroshi and Marui Bunta from Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School."

A voice came over the radio.

Marui blew up the bubble gum in his mouth and asked in surprise: "The first match is me and Yagyu?"

Takahashi said, "Yes, that's it."

"Currently, our fastest time to finish a race is 10 minutes. Come on, both of you! Let's try to break this record!"

Marui and Yagyu stood up and prepared to enter the arena.

The game started and players from both teams entered the field.

Takahashi and Tachibana Kippei were also sitting in the coaching seats on the field.

The first game was Rikkai University's serve.

"boom!"

The tennis ball turned into a stream of yellow light in the air and flew towards the center of Ishida and Sakurai with astonishing speed and weight.

"15-0!"

"Rikkai University scores!"

Ishida and Sakurai only felt a flash of yellow before their eyes, and then they heard the sound of a tennis ball falling to the ground.

They lost points before they even had time to act.

……

"boom!"

……

"30-0!"

……

"40-0!"

……

"Rikkai University wins this game, the score is 1-0!"

……

Next to the stadium is Fudo Peak.

"They actually won the first game just by serving. That's terrifying!"

"The most important thing is that Ishida and Sakurai can't keep up with the speed of tennis."

"I didn't even have time to react before my opponent scored."

Kamio Akira's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ibu Shinji was also surprised and said, "Marui Bunta and Jackal-san are a fixed doubles team. Yagyu Hiroshi and Niou Masaharu are also a doubles team."

“I didn’t expect that after splitting them up and redistributing them, they could still unleash such strength.”

"Their strength is too terrifying!"

Ibu Shinji was not only shocked by the previous game, but what shocked him even more was...

It turns out that Rikkai University's random combination, without paying attention to the deployment of troops, was able to beat Fudomine like this.

He beat Budong Feng so hard that he had no power to fight back.

Ibu Shinji has done some research and found that Marui Bunta and Yagyu Hiroshi's abilities in Rikkai University cannot be considered top-notch, at best they are just mid-tier players.

Temporarily forming a doubles team with people they are not familiar with actually puts certain limitations on their abilities and they cannot fully display their strengths.

Even so, the two of them won the first game easily.

"boom!"

……

"boom!"

"Rikkai University High School scores, the score is 2-0!"

While Ibu Shinji was thinking, Marui and Yagyu won another game.

Not only were Tetsu Ishida and Masaya Sakurai unable to receive the serves from Yagyu and Marui, they couldn't even hold their own serve.

The game was one-sided.

After two games, Ishida and Sakurai did not score a single point.

The doubles of these two are considered relatively good in Fudomine, and they can even compete against Seigaku in the Metropolitan Tournament.

Unexpectedly, they were beaten without any chance to fight back by the temporary doubles team formed by Rikkai University.

The gap in strength between the two teams is terrifying!
