Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The two sides have been fighting for a long time.

With the end of Oshitari, the faces of the Hyotei players were not very good. Failure to win the second singles match was almost a death sentence for them.

Atobe also sighed, but he still held the last glimmer of hope and looked at Karaji who had just returned from warm-up. Perhaps Karaji's innocent heart could create a miracle, although Atobe himself did not believe it.

"The singles match will begin next. Rikkai University Yukimura Seiichi will play against Hyotei Karaji Takahiro. Please enter the court!"

Yukimura walked onto the court slowly with his coat on. On the other side, Karaji also came directly to the court. The two bowed in front of the net. Facing Karaji's dull personality, Yukimura certainly would not say much to him.

After that, Yukimura won the right to serve. Today, Rikkai University seemed to have good luck. In the five games, they got the right to serve in four games.

"The game ends! Rikkai University Affiliated High School serves first!"

Yukimura came to the baseline, threw the tennis ball in his hand directly, and then jumped up and swung the racket. His movements were smooth and there was an indescribable beauty. The speed of the tennis ball was not fast, but the angle was extremely tricky, so that Kabata could only barely return the ball and could not play the advantage of his own strength.

Yukimura appeared in front of the net without knowing when, and directly hit a short ball, so that Kabata, who was relatively slow, had no time to catch the ball. The tennis ball fell directly after passing the net, bounced a few times on the ground and stopped moving.

"15-0!"

In the next shot, Yukimura fully demonstrated his powerful skills. Although he seemed to be playing basic tennis, he could always hit the ball at various angles, which made Kabata overwhelmed.

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 1-0!"

Yukimura certainly knew Kabashi's ability. Although he didn't think Kabashi could copy his spiritual skills, he still used only basic tennis to compete with him. After all, the gap in the five dimensions could not be easily made up.

The second game was Kabashi's serve. Since Yukimura didn't use any skills just now, Kabashi's copying ability was completely useless, which made Atobe sitting in the Hyotei player seat feel helpless.

Kabashi directly hit a powerful serve at the baseline, and Yukimura easily hit the tennis ball back. Although Yukimura used basic tennis, Kabashi still unconsciously began to imitate Yukimura's hitting movements.

Unfortunately, this could not change the situation of Kabashi continuing to lose points. Although both sides had the same movements, Yukimura's overall strength was much better than Kabashi. Even if he was slightly inferior in strength, his powerful skills were enough to make up for it.

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 2-0!"

This feeling of helplessness made Kabaji's expression change a little. He was a little impatient in his dullness. He was still crushed after imitating the opponent's movements. This was also the first time for Kabaji.

The third game was still Yukimura's serve. Yukimura obviously noticed the change in Kabaji's mood before serving. He smiled and then hit the tennis ball directly. It was still an ordinary serve.

However, even such a serve made Kabaji's return very uncomfortable. Although he had changed his playing action, Yukimura's serve could still hit the position that Kabaji was least good at.

Like the first two games, Kabaji was completely unable to deal with Yukimura's tennis. No matter how hard he tried, the tennis ball could not break through Yukimura's defense. Gradually, even Kabaji's innocent heart showed a little ripple.

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 3-0! Change venue!"

During the break, Yukimura still walked back to the coaching seat calmly. After playing three games, his breathing rate did not change at all. Obviously, the game just now was very easy for him.

On the other side, in the Hyotei player's seat, everyone was in a very heavy mood. Looking at the silent Kabaji, Atobe finally couldn't help but speak:

"Try your best! Kabaji!"

"Mm!" Kabaji nodded slowly.

After the break, the fourth game was Kabaji's serve. Kabaji used all his strength to hit a powerful serve, but Yukimura still easily hit the tennis ball back with the technique of unloading force.

Kabaji quickly ran to the landing point, holding the racket with both hands and even roaring when hitting back. Obviously, he did his best as Atobe said, but unfortunately, it still had no effect on Yukimura.

At this moment, Kabaji's roar on the court formed a sharp contrast with Yukimura's calmness. Many spectators had already

In his heart, he had sentenced Hyotei to death. Hyotei had no hope of winning this game.

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 4-0!"

Yukimura once again relied on his unparalleled strength to win the fourth game, and a trace of fear flashed in the empty eyes of the opposite Kabashi.

This trace of fear was completely invisible to ordinary people, but Yukimura noticed it keenly. He didn't expect that the simple Kabashi would also be afraid.

"In that case, then let you finish the game early~" Yukimura whispered to himself.

The fifth game was Kabashi's serving game. When Kabashi hit a powerful serve again, Yukimura, who came to the landing point, had a strong mental fluctuation on his body. He pulled hard at the flying tennis ball and attached a lot of mental power at the moment of hitting the ball.

Kabadi still tried hard to run to the receiving point. When the racket and the tennis ball touched, a strange mental force instantly invaded Kabadi's body. Then Kabadi felt numb in his hand, and the racket was directly knocked down by the tennis ball.

"0-15!"

"How is it possible! Kabadi's strong power was knocked down by Yukimura!" Xiangri said in disbelief.

"No! This has nothing to do with strength. Yukimura finally activated his ability!" Atobe said with a serious face.

Just when Kabadi picked up the racket, he suddenly found that he could not feel the racket in his hand at all. The next moment, his vision suddenly darkened, and all the sounds in his ears disappeared. Kabadi could only stand there blankly.

"It seems that your five senses have disappeared~ Then end the game!" Yukimura said calmly while looking at Kabadi opposite him with his coat on.

"Serve timeout! 0-30!"

"Serve timeout! 0-40!"

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 5-0!"

Kawachi stood there blankly, motionless as if he had lost his soul. He could not hear the voice of the referee or the voices of the Hyotei people on the sidelines.

The sixth game was Yukimura's serve. Yukimura looked at Kabachi, who had been deprived of his five senses, without any fluctuation in his eyes. Since he had become the opponent, he had to defeat him completely.

"ACE! 15-0!"

"ACE! 30-0!"

"ACE! 40-0!"

"GAME! 6-0! The game is over! The winner is Rikkai University High School!"

Yukimura used four high-speed serves to win the game cleanly. At the end, Yukimura also dispersed the mental power acting on Kabachi, and slowly Kabachi's five senses returned to normal.

"In the Kanto Conference semi-finals, Rikkai University High School played against Hyotei Gakuen, with a total score of 3-2! Rikkai University High School won!"

As the referee announced the final total score, everyone at Rikkai University smiled, including Sanada and Kokai Kirihara, who finally recovered from the loss in the previous game.

The two schools in the finals of the Kanto Conference today have also been confirmed. Tomorrow, Fudomine will play against Rikkai University, and the winner will win the championship of this year's Kanto Conference.

The audience around had expected this result long ago. For three consecutive years, the finals of the Kanto Conference were these two schools, and even the finals of the national competition for two consecutive years were them. It has to be said that it is really amazing.

After the game, Akashi came to the sidelines and greeted Atobe and Yukimura in turn. Atobe didn't have a good face for Akashi because Hyotei had just lost the game, and he took everyone from Hyotei away directly, obviously in a bad mood.

Akashi didn't care about this, but asked Yukimura about Yanagi Renji's injury. Yanagi Renji didn't play today, which should be the reason.

"I didn't expect you to find out after all, Akashi~" Yukimura said helplessly.

"Well! You should know the ability of my eyes. Any subtle movement can't escape my insight. The unnatural movement of Liu's right hand is too obvious to me!" Akashi said calmly.

"Okay~ I originally wanted to talk to you about this, let's talk in another place!" Yukimura gestured to Akashi to leave the court.

In a corner near the court, Yukimura looked at Akashi in front of him and said helplessly:

"Three days ago, when Kirihara and Renji were playing a practice match, they didn't control themselves and accidentally injured Renji's right hand!"

"Is it because of the red-eye state?" Akashi's expression was a little more serious.

"No! Kirihara's state at that time was much more serious than the red-eye state. His skin became congested and red, and even his hair color changed! And afterwards, he didn't remember what he had done at all!" Yukimura said in a serious tone.

"Demonization? It seems that in the end

Still couldn't suppress the power in his body~" Akashi also sighed slightly.

"Demonization? Akashi, do you know the specific situation of Kirihara's state?" Yukimura asked anxiously.

Yukimura remembered that Akashi had told him before that Kirihara's red-eye state would cause certain damage to the body, and now the demonization is obviously much more serious than the red-eye state, and the damage to the body must be greater.

"How should I put it? There should be a special potential sleeping in Kirihara's body, but he himself cannot activate or use it on his own. Only when he is abnormally stimulated can this potential burst out in a short time. This is Kirihara's demonization!" Akashi roughly told Yukimura the principle of demonization.

"However, doing so will not only cause damage to the body, but more seriously, it may also cause mental breakdown. In the demonization state, Kirihara's mind should only have emotions of tyranny and destruction! ”

“After I saw Kirihara’s red eyes for the first time, I asked professionals and they gave me some academic answers, which are roughly what I just said!” Akashi said slowly. Of course, this was just an excuse to cover up his identity as a time traveler.

“I see, no wonder Kirihara didn’t know what happened afterwards. This is troublesome. Now even Sanada can’t completely control Kirihara!” Yukimura said with a frown.

“I think this is the way to go. After the Kanto Conference is over, I will hold a training camp again. At that time, I will take Kirihara to the old man in Rokkaku to ask. Maybe he has a solution. If not, I can also contact Coach Saito to ask. This should be his expertise!” Akashi said his plan.

“Well! Thank you, Akashi!” Yukimura thanked very sincerely.

“It doesn’t matter. After all, in the future world competition, Kirihara may also become an important combat force!” Akashi said thoughtfully.

“Oh? So, has it been confirmed that junior high school students will participate in this year's World Championships?" Yukimura immediately grasped the key point and asked.

"That's right! Head Coach Mifune just talked to me on the phone. The International Tennis Federation has issued a notice that all countries must arrange junior high school students to participate in this year's Australian World Championships, and the number must not be less than 14!" Akashi did not hide it and told Yukimura directly.

"Is that so? It seems that I need to train harder. When the time comes, I will not let you, Akashi, take the limelight alone in the World Championships~" Yukimura said jokingly.

"It's best that you can think so, but it's still early for the World Championships. Are you ready to fail in the Kanto Conference finals tomorrow? "Akagi said seriously.

"Hehe~ Who will win? It's still hard to say now~" Yukimura responded with a faint smile.

After that, Akashi and Yukimura left the tennis park with everyone from their respective schools. On the way back, Kintaro was a little dissatisfied that he didn't play today, and began to play rogue to Akashi.

Akagi looked at Kintaro with amusement, and stopped Kurasaza from speaking with his eyes. After thinking for a while, he agreed to let Kintaro play as the third singles tomorrow.

This made Kintaro jump up happily. The other regulars saw Kintaro's appearance and smiled helplessly. Then they looked at the members of the second army with some pity. They probably had some suffering next year.

The next day, the Green Forest Tennis Park became lively again. Today, the finals of the Kanto Conference and the third place competition will be held here, so many spectators came here early in the morning, waiting to watch the game.

In the morning, there was a match between Seigaku and Hyotei, but people from Fudomine and Rikkai University also came At the scene, they were all very curious whether Hyotei would defeat Seigaku again like in the Metropolitan Tournament.

The match between the two sides started soon. Hyotei still arranged Oshitsuki Ikushi and Mukai Taketo for the second doubles, but unfortunately, Inui Sadaharu guessed it right. Seigaku's second doubles were directly Kikumaru and Oishi.

However, Oshitsuki and Mukai tried their best in this match, causing a lot of trouble for Oishi and Kikumaru, especially when Mukai's physical strength was low and recovered, Oshitsuki relied on the selfless state to bear the attacks of Oishi and Kikumaru.

However, in the end, they still couldn't resist the golden combination that activated the synchronization state. The final score of this game was 6-4. However, in the last ball, Oshitsuki and Mukai actually touched the mystery of synchronization. Unfortunately, due to Mukai's lack of physical strength, it disappeared after only a short moment.

But this also made Oishi and Kikumaru look a little solemn. In the future national competitions, if they meet Hyotei, they may not be able to defeat Oshitsuki and Mukai as easily as today.

In the next doubles match, Hyotei sent Ryo Shishido and Hochotaro. Now the tacit understanding between these two people is the highest among Hyotei except for Ninzu and Mugahi.

Qing Xuefang's doubles lineup is the same as yesterday, with Momojo Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru. It seems that Inui Sadaharu is preparing to play in singles, but this game is not friendly to Momojo Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru.

Hochotaro's new heavy artillery serve gave the two no time to react. Although it was a doubles match, Hyotei won the serve and it was Hochotaro who served again in the first game, leaving them without a single point. Lost the first game.

In addition, Kaoru Kaido's various snake balls had no effect on Ryo Shishito. Takeshi Momojo's squat smash was blocked immediately after scoring one point. Give Takeshi Momoro a chance.

Moreover, after Shishito Ryo and Hochotaro used the Dual Shadow Mirage, Momojo Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru were thrown into chaos, and they almost started fighting because of their dispute.

In the end, Ice King won the game, with a score of 6-2. The total score between the two sides came to a 1-1 tie, which made both sides a little nervous. Although they had missed the championship and runner-up, they won the third place. It's also a comfort.

In the three singles match, Seigaku still sent Echizen Ryoma, while Hyotei sent Kachichi. This match can be said to be "exceptionally wonderful", leaving Akashi on the sidelines speechless.

At the beginning of the game, Ryoma was directly suppressed by Kawara due to his inferior strength. Although he started to use various tricks to whip the ball, in the end he had Kakarachi imitate him.

After that, Ryoma directly opened the state of selflessness. His idea was very simple, just to see how many tricks Huachi could imitate, but he didn't believe it. He changed his moves every ball, and Huachi could still imitate it.

The final answer is - yes! No matter what moves Ryoma uses the power of selflessness, Kachi will absorb them all and then fight back with the same moves, which makes Ryoma extremely depressed.

After that, Ryoma even used the whirlwind smash, but it was copied by Kachi. Kachi relied on his imitation and physical advantages to directly push the score to 5-2, and he was about to win.

At this moment, a scene that left Akashi speechless happened. Ryoma's selfless power actually began to gather, and then directly turned into seven colors. He actually directly opened the limit of thousands of tempers.

The strength of Ryoma, who had opened the Mystery of Selflessness, had barely reached the national level, which made Hua Di unable to parry, and the score continued to catch up, directly reaching a 5-5 tie.

Just when everyone thought that Ryoma was going to win, Atobu's words caused Huaji to go berserk, and actually directly activated the state of constant tempering, or in other words, replicated Ryoma's endless tempering.

This once again put Ryoma at a disadvantage. After all, the power gap between the two was a bit big. Unfortunately, Ryoma evolved again for unknown reasons, allowing the power that had been tempered for thousands of years to be transferred freely like Tezuka and Chitose. Finally, he used his speed advantage to defeat Hua. Ground, the score is 7-5.

Akashi looked at Ryoma and thought to himself, can you wait until the national competition to start the perfect match? It’s really the protagonist’s aura, right?

In the subsequent singles match, Hyotei played Jirou Akutagawa, while Seigaku played Sadaharu Inui. However, players like Jirou seemed to be defeated by data tennis.

Not to mention that Inui Sadaharu's waterfall leakage made Jirou unable to fully cope with it. He could not fight back until he entered sleep mode. However, Inui Sadaharu's data had been collected long ago. When the five dimensions of the two sides were not much different, , the power of data tennis is very huge.

In the final match between Hyotei and Seigaku, the game was over before Atobe had time to come on the court. Seigaku won the third place in the Kanto Conference with a total score of 3-1, which can be considered as revenge for the Tokyo Conference. .
