Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

After Yukimura released his mental power, Kevin looked around in confusion. He failed to react immediately. Wasn't it because Yukimura couldn't continue the game due to personal reasons, so he was replaced by Ryoma Echizen? Moreover, he had clearly defeated Ryoma Echizen with his powerful strength, so why did it seem that nothing had changed? Was everything just an illusion? Kevin couldn't understand it. In fact, it was no wonder that Kevin didn't understand. In fact, Yukimura's five senses and dreams were not moves to be strict, but his playing style. In layman's terms, it was a passive skill. If we have to say what moves, it should be yips (yips), which is generally to put on a perfect posture and crush the opponent's confidence with impeccable tennis, so as to make him fall into yips.

Whether it is the destruction of the five senses or dreams, they are all abilities derived from Yukimura's yips. Of course, if you encounter an opponent whose confidence cannot be crushed, you can also rely on mental power to achieve the same effect.

You can even use a lot of mental power to force the opponent into a state of yips, but this is not an easy thing for Yukimura, and the consumption of mental power is very huge.

If you encounter an opponent with mental power exceeding your own, you will be rebounded, just like when you deal with Akashi, but Kaibin's confidence was first crushed by Yukimura, and then he was guided by mental power, so naturally he quickly fell into the dream compiled by Yukimura.

In fact, Yukimura now has the ability to make the opponent fall into yips with a simple ball. Sometimes he doesn't even need to play, just a psychological hint can do it, so what Sakaki Taro said is right. Yukimura didn't take it seriously in the first three games, but seemed to be teasing his opponent.

The same was true when he played against Kintaro before. He didn't let Kintaro lose his five senses immediately. He had been guiding Kintaro to exert his full strength. Finally, when he felt that it was almost enough, he let Kintaro burst out in the world of destroying the five senses.

This is the unique playing style of the son of God, Yukimura Seiichi. Except for Akashi, the player who is naturally resistant to him, even if Tezuka doesn't open the heavenly clothes, others may not be able to break free from Yukimura's yipu syndrome in a short time.

At this time, Kevin finally reacted and looked at Yukimura opposite with some horror. Playing tennis can still make people hallucinate. Is Echizen Nanjiro's hometown really so powerful?

Soon the host came on stage to announce that this exchange exhibition match with the west coast of the United States was over. The audience was very satisfied today, mainly because their own team defeated the American team, which made them very happy.

And because of this game, the status of American tennis in the hearts of Japanese people plummeted. If Reinhardt knew about it, he would probably come to strangle Richard.

After the exhibition match, the manager of the Akashi Group immediately found Richard and asked him to fulfill the gambling agreement and compensate the corresponding amount. Although Richard was very reluctant, this is Neon, the territory of the Akashi Group. If he did not fulfill it, he would probably not be able to return to the United States.

Richard had no choice but to contact Ms. Takayama again. When the other party clearly stated that the transfer contract fee would be transferred, Richard could only deposit all his savings into the account of the Akashi Group.

Just a few days after Richard transferred the money, he was prosecuted by the relevant departments for suspected fraud and illegal fundraising and sent back to the United States for trial. The so-called contract transfer fee promised by Ms. Takayama never showed up.

Since Richard had been deported and was suspected of multiple charges, some of the contracts he had signed before were naturally invalid. This time, Akashi and Atobe joined forces to pit Richard to death. This is the cruelty of the business circle.

In fact, most of the sponsors present this time are companies under the Atobe Group. The two groups relied on this exchange exhibition match to launch a large wave of advertising.

Richard was kept in the dark from beginning to end. You can even see the shadow of the Tennis Association. The tacit cooperation of the three parties made Richard excited to get into the trap set in advance.

In addition, because Ryoma is not playing against Kaibin now, the two naturally did not resolve their grievances and become friends, but Kaibin did not dare to trouble Ryoma again.

In the original work, three major events will happen during this period, two of which are related to Seigaku, that is, Tezuka goes to Germany for treatment, and Ryoma goes to the United States for competition.

and Yukimura's hellish reconstruction, but due to Akashi's intervention, none of them happened.

Everyone returned to Akashi's training base and started daily training to prepare for the national competition. Many people will participate in the national competition for the last time this year.

At the same time, in the U17 training camp, Tokugawa is growing rapidly under the guidance of Oni and Irie. Tokugawa now puts all his faith in defeating Byodoin.

Tokugawa Kazuya

"Oni! Is it really okay for Tokugawa to continue like this? You should know that Byodoin is not that easy to deal with!" Irie looked at Tokugawa who was training crazily and asked Oni beside him.

"Actually, I don't know, but this is Tokugawa's own belief. He has also made unparalleled efforts for this. All we can do is support him, right?" Oni also said with a slight sigh.

"Hey~ The junior high school students will come to the training camp soon. By then, Tokugawa may not have the opportunity to challenge Byodoin. Don't forget that there is still little Akashi. With his personality, he will never tolerate the current Byodoin!" Irie seemed to think of something interesting, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The competition between the two of them is inevitable, and I believe the coaches have already prepared for it!" Ghost said in a deep voice.

"So, Ghost, who do you think has a greater chance of winning, little Akashi or Byodoin?" Irie asked his question with a smile.

"It's hard to say! Akashi's other dimension gives me a very strange feeling, as if it is different from mine and Byodoin, so I can't make a judgment, but I personally prefer Akashi!" Ghost answered after thinking seriously.

"But your other dimension must not be weak, right? Don't you have any ideas?" Ghost suddenly changed the subject and looked at Irie.

"Ghost, what are you talking about~ How can I have any ideas with my weak strength? And I haven't awakened the other dimension~" Irie said with a smile.

Gui looked at Irie helplessly. He had accidentally sensed the fleeting aura of another dimension on Irie before. Gui was sure that he was absolutely right, but unfortunately Irie refused to admit it.

On the other side of the training camp, Taneshima was now experiencing the most painful thing in his life. Akashi got a flight simulator from somewhere, and now he was forced by the coaches to stay in it for an hour every day.

At the beginning, Taneshima vomited so much that taking medicine was useless, but now he has obviously improved. At least taking medicine in advance can prevent the body from having such a violent reaction.

At this moment, Tanedo in the simulation chamber, his eyes were rolling around, and he shouted loudly:

"Akagi-chan! I hate you! ξжяФё...... (vomiting sound)!"

And Akashi in the training base sneezed inexplicably, making the housekeeper beside him think that his master had caught a cold, and immediately went to make a bowl of ginger tea and handed it to Akashi. Although Akashi didn't think there was anything wrong with him, he still drank it, just to get rid of the dampness.

In the monitoring room of the U17 training camp, the three coaches were frowning and looking at the monitor in front of them. Now, except for Tanedo, all the members of the first team have gone on an overseas expedition, and there is no high school player who joined the training camp this year.

Yes, you read it right! Oni and Irie are no longer members of the first team. Irie is easy to understand, an old actor. He lost to Akiba Momiji in the previous first team reshuffle and directly handed over his No. 20 position.

Because Gui blocked the attack of Byodoin for Tokugawa, he was temporarily removed from the first team. Of course, everyone knows that if Gui wants, he can return to the first team at any time.

However, Gui is not in a hurry to return to the first team. He became the gatekeeper of hell in the No. 5 court and wanted to find a few good seedlings from this year's freshmen. If there is another existence like Akashi, then their Neon will be stable in the world championship this year.

But the idea is good, and the reality is often cruel. This year, in addition to Maori, only Hara Tetsuya has some potential. The others are simply hard to describe, and Maori and Hara Tetsuya themselves entered the training camp for a period of time when they were in their first year of high school.

This is also a headache for the coaches now. Once the Byodoin class graduates, they can only rely on Akashi and others. There are only a handful of talented people in the second and first year of high school.

They still can't figure out why this happens. Can geniuses choose their own years of birth? The two classes between Byodoin and Akashi are completely like a gap, and only a few people have good talents.

If the current coaches fully understand the junior high school level, they will find that the situation is the same now. The top players are basically in the third grade, and there are basically no second-year players.

There are only one top player among the first-year students, Kintaro. Ryoma is still far behind.

In addition, due to Mifune's order, it is forbidden to discuss junior high school students in the U17 training camp, especially Akashi. He has given a gag order to all those who know about it. Of course, some people will occasionally discuss it in private, but most of the freshmen and Tokugawa don't know Akashi's existence.

Relatively speaking, U17 is not aware of Kintaro's existence now, but they will know it soon, because U17 will also send people to observe the junior high school national competition this time, so that they can prepare before the junior high school students enter the training camp.

Time passed quickly, and the junior high school students' training camp was coming to an end. Akashi looked at the entire training camp manor and sighed in his heart. It was estimated that this was his last training camp, and he would probably spend the rest of the time in the U17 training camp.

Of course, this training camp manor will still be kept. After all, Ibu and others will probably need it next year, but if other schools want to use it in the future, they will have to charge a fee, Akashi thought silently.

A week before the national competition, the training camp also ushered in the last day. Many players have made some progress during this period, and even Akashi is no exception, but the increase in strength is negligible.

Since tomorrow is the draw ceremony for the national competition, representatives of several schools are going to take the Fudomine bus to Fudomine Middle School together, while others have packed up their things and returned to their respective schools.

The next day, at the gate of Fudomine Middle School, representatives from schools all over the country arrived one after another. As the champion of the national competition for two consecutive times, Fudomine's current status is no longer what it used to be.

Many Fudomine students have become accustomed to such a situation and are no longer as nervous and excited as last year. Instead, some first-year freshmen are asking questions everywhere.

At this time, a bus with the words Fudomine printed on it slowly drove into the school and stopped at the door of the conference hall. Representatives from seven schools got off the bus.

When a group of people walked into the conference hall, the originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet. Many school representatives looked at the people at the door, and most of their eyes were focused on Akashi.

Akashi also looked around and found many familiar faces, such as Makinofuji, Shishigaku, Rokurigo and Kabuto.

In the crowd, Akashi actually found Kai Yujiro, and beside him was Chinen-Kan. He didn't expect that without Kide Nagashiro, Higachu still made it to the national competition.

Kai Yujiro

However, after asking around, Akashi learned that Higachu did not defeat Shishigaku to become the overlord of Kyushu this year, but also won the runner-up. It is said that Kai Yujiro was very active in the Kyushu competition.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that this time St. Rudolph really entered the national competition as a recommended place. Mitsuzuki took Akazawa Yoshiro to sit in a corner. Mitsuzuki still looked like he was turning his hair and looking at everyone.

Because Akashi's reputation is also widely spread in schools across the country, the lottery ceremony was held smoothly this time, and no blind guy jumped out to provoke.

Even the rapper-like contestant in Rokurigaoka sat in his seat obediently. You know, in the original book, he dared to stretch his foot to trip Tezuka.

Soon after, the schedule of this national competition came out. Akashi took a look and found that this year's seed schools were not much different from last year's, namely: Fudomine, Rikkai University, Seigaku, Hyotei, Shishigaku, Makinofuji, Shitenhoji and Nagoya.

Although he didn't know why Makinofuji was still a seed school, Akashi didn't care about it. Whether Makinofuji could make it to the quarterfinals this year was still a question.

However, Higachu and Rokkakuchu met in the first round. I don't know if Higachu, who was missing the wooden hand this time, could still defeat Rokkakuchu. However, Akashi felt that Rokkakuchu was still in suspense this time.

Another thing Akashi was concerned about was whether Seigaku and Hyotei would meet in the quarterfinals, and then a scene that made Akashi speechless appeared. This time Hyotei did not meet Seigaku, but met Shitenhoji in the quarterfinals.

It was unknown whether it was Atobe or Shiraishi who was unlucky, and Akashi also noticed that if everything went well, Fudomine would meet Rikkai University in the semifinals, which was somewhat beyond Akashi's expectations.

He thought that they would meet Rikkai University in the finals like in the original work, and then Akashi looked at the entire competition schedule carefully, and finally he found that this year Fudomine's final opponent was either Seigaku, Hyotei or Shitenhoji.

"Will they meet Seigaku in the finals?" Akashi thought secretly.

In the draw

After the ceremony, everyone returned to their own schools to make final preparations. During this period, Akutsu, for some reason, challenged Akashi to a match.

The result was, of course, a crushing defeat. His Alaya-vijnana was completely defeated by Akashi's Eye of the Emperor, but Akutsu's challenge was like a signal, and then all the regulars of Fudo Mine challenged Akashi.

For a whole week, there was a challenge every day, which made the members of Fudo Mine very excited. The final result was that Akashi won and the stadium was destroyed.

Fortunately, no members were injured. Everyone was very smart when watching the game. When they saw the powerful moves, they immediately scattered.

However, this also allowed Akashi to further understand the specific strength of all the regulars. Among them, Akutsu and Kintaro have made great progress. Kintaro is not far from the national peak. After opening Aichi Kyoukai, he is definitely half a step to the world level.

Akutsu's Alaya-vijnana can already use four figures without injury. With a little more burden, he can use five to six figures. He can use seven figures at the limit burst, but the limit burst is extremely harmful to the ankle, so Akashi forbids him to use it unless it is absolutely necessary.

Tezuka's strength has also been completely stabilized at the world level. The power of the Supreme Realm has increased a lot, and even Akashi's return ball will be affected. As for Tianyi, Tezuka is taking the route of fortitude and glory as Akashi expected.

Tachibana Kihei's beast king aura has become more and more proficient, and the lion's roar has been used many times, and the thousand-year-old Tianyi has been able to be opened proficiently. As for which path he will choose, even Akashi is a little uncertain.

Mu Shou's dark shot is also becoming more and more tricky, and what surprised Akashi a little is that Mu Shou has quietly entered the half-step world level. With the blessing of Shura Road, he can even deal with ordinary world-class players, and he actually has a hint of a different dimension.

The baptism of the vortex of the Tibetan rabbit has developed a very strong power. It is estimated that ordinary world-class players cannot easily take it, but there is still some gap compared with the original Polk. However, the Tibetan rabbit has developed a new move through the Shura Road, and the power surprised Akashi.

A week has passed quickly. This year's national competition will officially open tomorrow, which makes all tennis fans in the country excited. Finally, they have waited for this moment of the year, but everyone thinks that this year is probably another big fight between several schools in Kanto.

As for the championship, no one is discussing it. After all, the three consecutive championships of Fudo Mine are basically no suspense in everyone's eyes.
