Shūji Tanegashima in Prince of Tennis

Chapter 17 : The first match begins

boom! boom! boom!

Salutes were raised above Tokyo Metropolitan Arena.

Outside.

The passerby stopped, showing a hint of surprise.

“The national competition has started…”

“It’s a pity… I didn’t get a ticket.”

Passersby sighed.

boom!

Inside, the audience’s exclamation and applause overlapped, forming a battle.

The applause was thunderous, and there seemed to be no empty seats.

Passersby envy the ticket.

Byodoin, Kaji Kazena, Oni Jujiro, Tanegashima Shūji, these people all hope to enter a career.

This is why they want to see it.

This is also the last year of this group of talents. If I missed it, I decided to regret it for a lifetime.

Therefore, you must buy the next ticket!

A passerby clenched his fist, his face firm.

……

In the venue.

A team came in.

Everyone has an extraordinary temperament.

“Very strong!”

Someone nodded sharply.

“This year’s national competition is definitely the most exciting in history.”

Some people also said with emotion.

Others also showed a hint of approval.

This year’s national competition is so strong that even Tanegashima Shūji, a traverser, can guarantee that this national competition may be even more exaggerated than Ryoma’s.

“That is Okayama Oku!”

After all the teams gathered, some people’s eyes fell on all the members of Okayama Oku.

There are eight people in total.

Oni Jujiro, Tanegashima Shūji, Date Boy, Banriya, Akasaka Tanaka, Ike Inoue, Gokisuke, and finally the stranger Irie Kanata.

According to the information in the newspaper, this person joined the tennis club later, and there are even rumors that it was appointed by Tanegashima Shūji.

Tanegashima Shūji!

With a thought, the players’ eyes fell on the white-haired guy.

There is a faint smile on the opponent’s face, which seems unpredictable, but this person has defeated Tohno Atsukyo, and his strength is extremely profound.

The contestant retracted his gaze and looked at the red-haired guy.

This person is Okayama Oku’s minister-Oni Jujiro.

He is more dangerous than Tanegashima Shūji.

After all, Kaji Kazena is still much better than Tohno Atsukyo, but Oni Jujiro can crush, maybe it exceeds Tanegashima Shūji’s level.

The two monsters can also allow Okayama Oku to guarantee two victories.

More than them.

Looking at the two people, Koshiki Moonlight, Akuto, Right End, Matsudaira Chikahiko and others also thought so.

If you say…who has the most hope of kicking Makinofuji off the altar this year, it is Okayama Okayama.

Even the most promising victory over Byodoin was the two of them.

Tanegashima Shūji has a small chance, but the ghost is very large, reaching a 50% chance.

Therefore, the two are newly promoted giants.

…….

At three o’clock in the afternoon, the match begins.

Because of the large number of teams and the first round, the match is divided into multiple regions, and the audience can also choose to watch.

The premise is… not many people.

Because of this, the audience flocked to the match between Okayama Oku and Rokkaku, and those who were late to see had no seats, and they had no choice but to stand on the high platform in anguish.

The two teams looked at each other in front of the net.

Tanegashima Shūji glanced at his opponent and couldn’t help but smile.

“So, is this your confidence…”

In addition to the right end and Matsudaira Chikahiko, there are two powerful players.

Tonin, Matsudaira Miyahiko.

These two people appear in the ova section and are the players sent by the third court to deal with Shiraishi and Kirihaya.

The black-haired guys are forbearance and have a calm personality.

The same is true of the original introduction to him.

Matsudaira Matsuhiko, with yellow hair slanted down, is a speed player, and also has a very powerful serve “flower”. Good at downwind, but will be impetuous when in adversity.

“Hey…”

Matsudaira provocatively sneered and said, “Let me see your strength.”

Although he said that, his eyes were not on Okayama Oku’s whole body, but on Date and Banriya.

“Um?”

The Date man glanced deeply at Matsuhira Miyahiko, with a smirk: “Are you provoking us? Banli, prepare a coffin for him!”

“OK!”

Banli also replied slightly dumbly.

“No need…or, you are preparing for yourself…huh?”

Those who are calm can bear the unwavering way of Gujing.

The referee’s face changed and he quickly announced: “Now is the first round of the national competition. Rokkaku vs. Okayama Oku!”

“Please advise.”

The two teams reduced their emotions on their faces and bowed slightly.

Huh!

Then retreat to his rest area.

Oni and Tanegashima Shūji are sitting on the coach’s bench.

In the coaching seat, the coach usually sits, but if there is no coach, the minister and deputy ministers sit together.

One or two people are fine.

After all, the coach’s position is so big, sitting alone is too wasteful.

The ghost glanced at the old man on the coach bench opposite, scrawny with a long white beard.

As if noticed, the old man turned his head and laughed.

Good perception ability.

The ghost raised his brows and nodded as a response.

“Now it’s singles three match…”

singles three?

Irie was puzzled.

“The national competition is in the order of singles three, doubles two, singles two, doubles one, and singles one.”

Shūji smiled and explained to the other party.

“Understood!”

Irie took a deep breath and grabbed racquet.

“Okayama Irie Kanata!”

Referee announced.

“It’s him?”

The surrounding audience was stunned and looked at Irie Kanata who walked to the court. This person is said to be the eighth candidate.

“Matsudaira Chikahiko in Rokkaku!”

Huh!

Okayama Okumen suddenly changed color.

“how come…”

Banli’s eyelids also twitched, and said in disbelief.

tread! tread!

Matsudaira Chikahiko came on the field, not like a human being, his whole body was full of mechanical feeling.

But the breath on the body is a living human being.

“First win the game!”

The corner of his right mouth slightly rises, showing coldness.

Okayama Oku, you are done! *
