Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The next round of the national competition is coming.

With the end of the games in various stadiums, the top eight teams of this year's national competition have finally been announced, namely Fudomine, Rikkai University, Nagoya Seitoku, Hyotei, Shishigaku, Makinoto, Seigaku, and Shitenhoji.

Fudomine's next opponent is Nagoya Seitoku, and Shishigaku is playing against Rikkai University. It seems that their journey in the national competition this year has come to an end.

Hyotei is playing against Makinoto. Akashi thinks that if Makinoto can't even make it to the top four this year, Byodoin will probably go berserk after knowing it. Finally, Seigaku will play against Shitenhoji. Although Seigaku has also become much stronger, Akashi estimates that it is still unrealistic to win against Shitenhoji.

However, if Shiraishi meets Fuji now, he will definitely be completely crushed. I just don't know if the two can meet again in this competition.

The quarterfinals will be held tomorrow, so everyone went to the hotel by bus. Because of the large number of people this time, Akashi directly arranged a hotel under the group to provide accommodation for everyone, and everyone from Rikkai University also stayed in this hotel.

On another street not far from this hotel, a hotel under the Atobe Group was also responsible for accommodating the Hyotei people. In addition, everyone from Seigaku was pulled there by Atobe. Our uncle Atobe will not lose to Akashi in this matter.

Shitenhoji's coach Watanabe Osamu and a group of regulars looked at the four schools who left with extremely envious eyes. The news that Fudomine and Hyotei had booked two hotels had long been spread, which made everyone sigh that it was good to be rich.

At this time, a middle-aged man in butler's clothes came to the people of Shitenbao Temple, bowed to Watanabe Xiu, and then told them that he had arranged a guest room for them to stay, and he would lead them there.

This butler was of course Tanaka arranged by Akashi. You should know that after the national competition, Akashi will invite everyone from Shitenbao Temple to train together. Now we should build a good relationship and let both sides have a preliminary contact.

After hearing this, the regulars of Shitenbao Temple cheered immediately, and Taira Yoshiyuki said bluntly:

"Finally, we don't have to stay in that broken B&B. Asu is so stingy and doesn't care about our lives at all!"

"Don't talk nonsense, bastard! How can it be so exaggerated! You go to the hotel first, and I'll check out of the B&B. I really don't know if the deposit will be deducted!" Watanabe Xiu said a little depressed.

Although Watanabe Osamu didn't know why the people from Dongfeng arranged hotel accommodation for them, as the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard. No matter what the reason is, he is the new overlord of Kanto, and it is impossible for him to use any tricks.

After Watanabe Osamu arrived at the hotel, he found that the people from Rikkai University were also there, and he was completely relieved. He went to the door of Akashi's room and thanked him repeatedly. Akashi smiled and said that he didn't need to care, it was just a piece of cake.

The next day, at the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, the schools that entered the quarterfinals yesterday gathered here again. Today, they will compete for the top four of the national competition. Unlike the previous Kanto or Metropolitan Competition, there is no third place in the national competition, only the champion and runner-up. The school that lost in the semi-finals will be eliminated directly, and together with the champion and runner-up, they are called the top four of the country.

So today's competition is destined to be extremely fierce, especially for schools like Seigaku that have not entered the national competition for many years!

When Akashi led everyone to the competition venue, he found that the people from Nagoya had already arrived. Akashi looked at the different races on the opposite side and immediately understood that Nagoya had always relied on foreign students to play games. No wonder it was a frequent visitor to the top four of the national competition.

Thinking of this, Akashi unconsciously glanced at Kurasaki beside him. If it weren't for him, Kurasaki would have been a member of the opposite Nagoya in two years, and then completely defeated by Xiao Hai.

But now everything has changed. Kurasaki's strength has exceeded the original work by a lot, and his own talents have been thoroughly developed. He will be one of the main forces of Neon U17 in the future.

On the other side, when the foreign students in Nagoya saw the arrival of the people from Fudo Mine, they all showed disdainful expressions, their faces were full of ridicule, and some even whistled, full of provocation.

It's no wonder they behaved like this. The status of Japanese tennis in the world is really too poor. Apart from Nanjiro many years ago, there are no outstanding figures. It would be strange if these international students from Europe and the United States could look up to the people of Fudomine.

But this

This time they hit a wall. The Fudomine members who were watching the game were already looking at them with eyes that looked like they were dead. They knew very well what kind of monsters their regulars were. They dared to provoke them like this before the game. They were really impatient to live.

Akashi and others seemed very calm about Nagoya's provocation. Anyway, they would pay the price for their actions later, so it was not worth it to waste words with them.

The foreign students saw that the people of Fudomine had no reaction. They thought they were afraid of them and laughed even louder. It was not until the referee stopped them that they quieted down a little.

Not long after, Akutsu came back from warming up. With a tyrannical look on his face, he looked at the opposite player seat with ill intentions. Although Akutsu was able to control his temper well and not get angry easily under Akashi's intervention, it did not mean that he became a gentle person.

Soon the referee announced the start of the game and signaled the players of both sides to enter the field. Perhaps because one of them was an international student, the referee specifically stated the nationality of the other party.

The third singles player in Nagoya is Miguel Hernandez from Mexico. He is said to be in the third grade of junior high school, but his actual age is unclear. After all, international students may start school one or two years later for various reasons.

When both sides came to the net to guess the first move, Hernandez looked at Akutsu and laughed and said:

"Hey! Man! Tennis is not suitable for you Asians. I advise you to admit defeat!" (Note: It is in English. For the convenience of reading, I will not write English. The same is true for the rest, but there will be some common words. Just know them.)

Seeing that Akutsu did not respond and just looked at him with a cruel smile, Hernandez suddenly realized:

"Oh! Sorry! I forgot that you may not understand English. What a poor little guy!"

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Akutsu scored full marks in all subjects. Basic English was no problem for him at all. It was impossible for him not to understand. It was just that Akutsu was not in the mood to pay attention to him.

Hernandez won the serve, and with a smile as if he had already won, he walked to the baseline, and the referee also announced the official start of the game.

"The game ends! Nagoya serves first!"

Hernandez stood on the baseline, took out a tennis ball, tested its elasticity, then threw it high, swung the racket and hit it directly, the tennis ball flew over the net and flew towards Akutsu's backcourt.

Akutsu appeared in front of the tennis ball just as it landed. After seeing the tennis ball bounce up, he directly hit it, and the tennis ball instantly landed in the left bottom corner of Hernandez at an extremely fast speed, and then flew out of the court.

"0-15!"

"What! God! This is impossible!" Hernandez said in disbelief.

Akutsu still had a cruel expression on his face, looking at Hernandez. This was just the beginning, and he was not going to let the foreign trash on the opposite side go.

Hernandez sent the ball again from the baseline. This time he used all his strength. The speed of the ball was obviously much faster than before, but it still had no effect on Akutsu.

When Akutsu received the ball, he found that Hernandez had started to run to the right. He smiled coldly and instantly used an awkward posture to hit a straight ball. The ball flew past Hernandez quickly and hit the baseline and flew out of the court.

"0-30!"

"No! How could you hit such a ball!" Hernandez shouted in disbelief.

In the next two balls, Akutsu still used a weird posture and hit the ball path completely opposite to Hernandez's prediction, making Hernandez extremely embarrassed and could only watch himself lose points.

"0-40!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

In the second game, it was Akutsu's turn to serve. Standing at the baseline, Akutsu looked at Hernandez on the opposite side and finally spoke, and he spoke in English.

"The game is over! It's time to send you to see God!"

After hearing what Akutsu said, Hernandez didn't understand what it meant. He saw the tennis ball in the opponent's hand emitting golden light, which made him feel a huge sense of crisis. But it was too late to dodge now because the opponent had already hit the tennis ball.

"Light shot!"

Since this was the first game, Akutsu still controlled the power of the light shot so that it would not directly destroy the court. The tennis ball emitted golden light and became several times larger after flying over the net. In Hernandez's desperate eyes, it hit him.

Hernandez's body flew straight back and then hit the wall behind him. Cracks appeared where he hit, and huge smoke and dust rose immediately.

"The game is suspended, check the opponent's player's condition!" The referee responded in time. Before the game started, all referees received a notice and were informed of various problems that might arise in Fudomine's game.

After the medical staff confirmed Hernandez's condition, they shook their heads at the referee, who immediately announced:

"Since the Nagoya player cannot continue the game, the game is over! The score is 1-0! Fudomine wins!"

The surrounding Fudomine members just applauded, without showing too much surprise. They are used to such things. During the training, they have seen Akutsu's light shots.

Now Akutsu is No. 4 in the Fudomine tennis club. Not long ago, even Chitose was completely defeated by him. It is easy to deal with such an ordinary foreign player.

At this time, a sturdy black man stood up angrily, walked straight to the Fudo Peak player's seat, and roared loudly at Akutsu who had returned to the player's seat:

"Fuck! What did you do, you bastard! How dare you hurt our people!"

Kujitsu, who had just returned from warm-up, had a cold light in his eyes, and slowly bent up, ready to attack at any time. Akutsu's face also showed murderous intent, but at this moment, several referees ran over, stopped the development of the situation, and severely scolded the black player, signaling him to retreat.

The man could only walk back unwillingly, but still said some unbearable words in his mouth, but what he was really angry about was not that his companions were injured, but that Akutsu made them lose face.

After the matter calmed down, the referee announced the start of the doubles match, but coincidentally, the black man was one of the players in this doubles match. With a ferocious expression, he stared at Kurasaki and Kijitsu who walked onto the court.

He also made a throat-cutting gesture towards them, but was immediately warned by the referee. However, Kurasaki's Western appearance still surprised him.

The two doubles players in Nagoya are both from the United States. The black man is Bob Jones, and his partner is a white man named Steve Miller. Unlike Jones, he did not yell, but just sneered at Kurasaki and Mutate.

When Kurasaki and his team came on the court, Akashi told them not to hold back and completely defeat the two opponents. Kurasaki and Mutate nodded, indicating that they understood.

After the game started, the referee found that the situation did not seem to be under control. Both sides were hitting the ball at each other's body, as if they were playing violent tennis. However, in this situation, the referee could not interfere at will, and could only pray that nothing serious would happen.

Although both sides were attacking their opponents frantically, Kurasaki and Mutate were obviously much stronger than their opponents, which resulted in them not being hurt at all, but many scars on the other side.

The fierce chasing ball from the Tibetan Rabbit made Jones and Miller embarrassed. They really didn't expect that the opponent was more violent than them, and seemed to be stronger than them!

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 2-0!"

"Damn monkey! I'm going to crush you!" Jones kept shouting.

"Shit! What's wrong with these two guys? Didn't they say that Neon's tennis level is very bad?" Miller also shouted angrily.

Tibetan Rabbit and Mu Shou ignored the two people's curses and continued to launch fierce attacks. A cross pit gradually appeared on the wire mesh behind Jones and Miller.

Just after Miller barely hit back a chasing ball again, Tibetan Rabbit's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he directly hit the flying tennis ball hard. The tennis ball instantly turned into a cross phantom and hit Jones.

"Crucifixion!"

Jones' body was directly hit by the tennis ball and flew up, then embedded in the wire mesh, with a shrill wail coming out of his mouth, but the tennis ball bounced back directly.

The referee on the side was about to announce a suspension of the game, and Mu Shou appeared in front of the net with a teleportation technique, swung the racket hard at the rebounding tennis ball, and the tennis ball disappeared instantly, and then a tennis ball that was magnified several times and flashed with a dark light appeared in front of Miller.

"Dark hit!"

Miller didn't react at all, and was hit directly in the soft abdomen by the dark hit ball. Blood instantly overflowed from his mouth, and he knelt on the ground, covering his abdomen, and couldn't even scream for a while.

"Pause! The game is suspended!"

At this time, the referee's voice sounded hurriedly. Things were still developing in the worst direction, which reminded him of a figure with long dark purple hair last year.

The medical staff rushed into the court again,

They were very depressed. Usually, this job was very easy, but today, they didn't even have time to slack off. Are these foreigners mentally ill? Why did they provoke those people from Fudomine?

After Jones and Miller were carried out, the referee announced the result of the game.

"Since both players from Nagoya can't continue the game, the game is over! The score is 2-0! Fudomine wins!"

Now, no one from the group of foreign students jumped out. They have already felt fear. They are typical soft-hearted and afraid of hard things. Even the singles player didn't want to play.

Unfortunately, he didn't give up in the end, otherwise he would lose the generous benefits given by Nagoya and could only play the game with his head held high. His opponent was Tezuka.

Tezuka didn't use violence to attack his opponent, but just kept the field and didn't score directly. He just kept pulling the opponent back and forth like walking a dog.

The weather in August was very hot. Although it was not yet noon, the temperature was already very high. Luis Juan from Argentina was already exhausted.

"GAME! Fudomine! 4-0!"

With the referee's announcement, Juan fell heavily to the ground and fell into a coma. The referee was completely speechless. How come he fainted when he didn't hit him this time? But he had no choice but to signal the game to be suspended.

The medical staff came on stage again. Some of them had already sworn that they would not work in any Fudomine game in the future. It was too tiring.

In the end, the medical staff found that Juan fainted because of heat stroke. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a normal situation appeared. Then they signaled to the referee.

The referee could only nod to show that he understood, and then reluctantly announced the result again.

"Since the Nagoya player cannot continue the game, the game is over! The score is 4-0! Fudomine wins!"
