The host is really working hard.

The semi-finals arrived as scheduled. The more games went on, the more people watched. As the champion of Rikkai University, not only players from other schools watched it, but also many people from the society came to watch the teenagers' competition.

The cheerleaders of Rikkai University were in the audience, shouting loud slogans for the tennis club. Everyone was full of energy. They were excited. They were thrilled. Rikkai University was about to win the championship for the third time in a row. Such glory could not be taken away by anyone. They would crush the opponent without hesitation in terms of momentum and strength.

"Senior Liu, why are most of the opposing team foreigners? Isn't this Japan?"

Liu flipped through the notebook in his hand and was not surprised by Kirihara's question. It could be said that Kirihara paid no attention to anything else except tennis. He probably didn't listen carefully during the meeting.

"Nagoya Seitoku is a Japanese-American joint venture school. 80% of the students in this school are foreigners, or one of their parents is Japanese."

"Is that so? Hehe, if we defeat them, will they run back to their country crying?" Kirihara licked his lips excitedly, as if he was about to go up and have a good fight.

Zizhou sighed secretly in the back, thinking about the meeting they had held yesterday afternoon.

－－－At the meeting－－－－－

"Is it okay to let Kirihara go first?" Zizhou didn't expect Yukimura to ask everyone to come back, and he didn't call Kirihara yet.

"We called everyone back just to avoid him." Liu answered Zizhou's question calmly.

This is Yukimura leaning on the back of a chair, with an inexplicably crazy look on his face.

"I called everyone back this time for tomorrow's arrangements. As you all know, Chi Ye will take my position next year, but he is not mature enough yet. It's okay with us around, but what will he do after we graduate? So I want to take advantage of this opportunity to put some pressure on him."

Nioh seemed to understand something. It seemed that just by looking at Yanagi and Sanada, he knew that Yukimura and the others were really good at playing. Poor Kirihara!

"Then how can we put pressure on him? We can't let all of us lose, right?" Marui asked the question in confusion.

"I guess Yukimura and the others just want us to lose." Zizhou thought Marui's guess was not impossible.

"It seems like everyone reacted pretty quickly. That's it. Not only do we have to lose, but we have to lose miserably. This will put a lot of pressure on Akaya, and there may be unexpected surprises."

－－－－Competition venue－－－－－

In the singles match three, Yagyu came on the court. With acting skills second only to Niou, Yagyu performed the difficulty of the match very well. His heavy breathing, messy hair, and disordered steps all indicated his imminent loss.

"Senior Yagyu, cheer up! You can do it!"

Kirihara called out to Yagyu anxiously. He really didn't expect that Yagyu-senpai would fight so ugly. He wanted to go up and help him.

But he didn't notice that everyone behind him was looking at Yagyu with admiration. His acting skills were really amazing. If they hadn't known it in advance, they might have been fooled.

Zizhou took out the video camera when no one was paying attention and secretly asked the Rikkai University student next to him to help record it. How could he not record such a funny scene? He would use it to laugh at them in the future.

However, Liu still noticed Zizhou's action and did not stop him. Instead, he quietly made a gesture to Zizhou, indicating that he also wanted a portion. Zizhou readily agreed. Good things can be shared.

In order to act embarrassed, Yagyu deliberately panted heavily, looking exhausted, and could no longer catch the opponent's ball. In this way, he lost the game.

As soon as the opposing players saw Yagyu's look, they started to mock Rikkai University, saying that it was now their turn, Nagoya Seitoku, to win the championship.

But they were all speaking English, and Kirihara, an English idiot, couldn't understand anything. Liu felt that this was not enough, so he added one more sentence when translating for Kirihara: The people from Rikkai University are all weaklings.

Kirihara was so angry that he wanted to go up and hit them, but the other party saw Kirihara's look and kept laughing, with a provocative look of "Come here".

Zizhou goes up to comfort Kirihara.

"Akaye, there's nothing to say to people like this, just use your tennis ball to shut them up and beat them hard."

Marui came over with a racket in his hand, looking distressed. It wasn't because of his distress towards his opponent, but because he and Kuwabara were not very good at acting, and he didn't know if he could fool Kirihara.

In Akaya's eyes, this scene showed that the opponent was very strong, and even Senior Marui was distressed. The pressure came up instantly, but it was not enough.

Compared to Yagyu's acting, Marui and Kuwahara's acting is much rougher. Zizhou couldn't help but cover his face when watching it, and Sanada turned his head away, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch it.

Kirihara, on the other hand, didn't notice anything at all. Instead, he was very excited about the failure of Marui and the others, and kept telling Sanada to give them a good lecture.

No matter how excited Kirihara was, he still lost the game.

The other school had already started celebrating in advance, and the cheerful atmosphere was completely different from the solemnity of Yukimura and his team. Even the audience on the field were talking about it, they didn't expect the Rikkai Conference to lose so badly.

"Akaya, if we lose one more game, we'll have no chance of winning three consecutive championships. It all depends on you. You will definitely win, right?" Yukimura's words weighed heavily on Kirihara's heart.

Kirihara walked onto the court with heavy but determined steps. Kirihara knew that he must win. This was an important game for Rikkai University. No matter who the opponents were, he would definitely hit them hard to secure their victory.

The opponent Clause's serve was very fast, and his tricky tennis ball caught Kirihara off guard. Compared with Kirihara's tennis ball, Clause's ball was directed towards the human body.

With the guidance of Zizu and Yukimura, Kirihara's tennis balls are no longer those that hit people's body parts, which results in Kirihara being at a clear disadvantage in the match.

Not long after, Kirihara's body was covered in blood and looked extremely terrifying.

Zizhou couldn't help but clench his fists. It was too abominable! This man's violent tennis was clearly intended to hurt Kirihara. Almost every ball could ruin a tennis player's tennis career.

Sanada was also enduring, veins on his body were already bulging, if his mind hadn't told him that this was Kirihara's match and his path of growth, Sanada would probably have killed the opponent with a samurai sword.

Everyone's patience was worth it, Kirihara exploded, an angelic halo spread over Kirihara, his black hair had turned white, but one of his eyes was still clear. But the other eye, stained with blood, seemed to be inhabited by a demon, as if it was a combination of an angel and a demon, ready to transform at any time.

While Clause was still running desperately to chase the ball, Kirihara's white hair had gradually turned back to black, and his eyes, which were already stained with blood, became even redder. He looked like an indifferent demon, as if the person in front of him was a fun toy. The vicious smile in his eyes gradually spread as the corners of his mouth expanded.

Yukimura stood up excitedly, the pen in Liu's hand was about to fly, Sanada couldn't suppress the smile on his face, Zizhou didn't even want to blink, Niou sat up straight, Liu Sheng's eyes were wide open, Marui and Kuwabara paused in drinking water as if they had pressed the freeze button.

Kirihara's appearance shocked everyone, and Kirihara's world was like a dark place, with no sound coming in. Life was no longer special in his eyes, and everything had become indifferent. The opponent was like an ant, as if he could crush him to death with one hand.

Clauser had never been under such pressure before. Kirihara's ball seemed to be playing tricks on him. He wanted to resist, but he was powerless and could not escape! He could not hide!

As expected, Kirihara won the match.

"Ah!! Akagi is awesome, his move is so powerful!" Marui excitedly jumped on Kuwabara and cheered.

There were cheers from outside the stadium, but Kirihara suddenly fell down as if he had lost his soul.

"Akaye!"

"Akaya!!"

"Akaye!"

Zizhou climbed over the fence without a second thought and ran towards Kirihara.

Like Zizhou, the others also flipped over the fence and ran as fast as they could.

Everyone in Yukimura rushed to the court. They were worried that something had happened to Akaya. Even the referee on the chair hurried down to check on Kirihara's condition.

After years of experience as a referee, he observed that Kirihara was just asleep, which made everyone feel relieved.

After Kirihara was helped back, the game continued, but unlike the miserable situation at the beginning, Sanada and his teammates beat their opponents until they doubted their lives.

Rikkai University won the semifinals, and Kirihara's reputation as a devil became even more famous.
