Prince of Tennis: The Emperor's Eye

The Japanese team has been in the limelight for a long time.

This overseas expedition, under the advice of the three coaches, also brought Tezuka, Yukimura and Akutsu, so that Oni could arrange them to play and gain experience according to the situation.

After the Neon team joined Akashi in Canada, they began their expedition. For more than half a month, the Neon team played against 5 countries in total. The accumulated points unknowingly made the Neon team rank 24th in the world.

Tezuka and the other two also got the opportunity to play, and did not lose any game, which made Oni more satisfied with them. However, because of this, after five games, Oni and Akashi did not even have the opportunity to play.

In addition, the first-year junior high school students are also working hard in the training camp to improve their strength, hoping to catch up with their predecessors, but this goal may be very difficult for them.

As time goes by, the day of the junior high school tennis national competition is approaching. All the first-year players in the training camp have returned to their schools, and the second and third-year students who are training in U17 have also left one after another to prepare for the national competition.

After the latest selection, the Fudomine Tennis Club has not changed the regulars, but there has been a change in the second team, that is, Ishida Tetsu finally made it into the second team with a wave ball.

In addition, Fuji Yuta started practicing half-volleys in the training camp. It seems that he saw Shishido Ryo's playing style last time and thought it looked very good, so he started practicing it himself. Akashi did not interfere. He remembered that Yuta was very good at half-volleys in the original work.

A week before the start of the competition, Fudomine Junior High School once again welcomed representatives from 23 schools, this time from schools all over the country. Now Shitenhoji is the head of the team, and Hara Tetsuya handed over the position of head to Shiraishi not long ago, so Shitenhoji is represented by Shiraishi and Koishikawa this time.

In addition, the head of Makinofuji is Monkyogo. This year, Makinofuji has completely lost its aura and did not even make it to the finals of the Kansai Conference. The finals of this Kansai Conference are between Shitenhoji and Nagoya, and Shitenhoji finally won the Kansai Conference championship.

It is worth mentioning that according to Shiraishi's description, Nagoya will not let those foreign students play before the national competition, but let them play the second team composed of Japanese natives.

I don't know what the top leaders of this school think, they really worship those foreign students. The draw ceremony started soon. The seed schools this time were not much different from last year, except that Kabuto and Maikosaka were replaced by Seigaku and Shitenhoji. This year's Maikosaka was even worse than last year.

Yamabuki still had to play the first round, but their opponent was a secondary school with a minor role, and it was estimated that they could easily win the game. After all, Sengoku's current strength has surpassed that of the original work.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. This national competition was held in Saitama Prefecture in Guanzhong. This is a city with a long history and many ancient cultural relics. In addition, the geographical location here is very convenient, the overall transportation planning is very developed, and there are good developments in industry, culture and art.

On the opening day of the competition, most tennis enthusiasts came to Saitama Prefecture. Many school students came here in groups to watch the junior high school national competition because of the summer vacation.

Fuji's sister Yumiko also took a few days off to watch the game on site, because her two younger brothers will appear in the national competition this year.

Yumiko Fuji

The first round of the game ended very quickly. It was basically some schools that were used as supporting players that were eliminated. Some schools with strong strength either had a bye or easily defeated their opponents.

In the second round, Fudomine's opponent was Eagle City Academy. Since Fudomine had a bye in the previous game, they had to play all five games in this round.

In this game, Akashi directly let four first-year students play in doubles one and doubles two. Doubles two was Yuta Fuji and Tetsu Ishida, and doubles one was Fukaji Ibu and Akira Kamio.

Not to mention, Yuta's defensive ability has increased sharply since he practiced half-volleys. He can cover for Tetsu Ishida, who was a little slow in action. After Tetsu Ishida's wave ball was played, the opponent basically wanted to surrender.

Yumiko was quite busy. After watching Yuta's game, she hurried to the competition venue of Seigaku. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

In the end, Fudomine directly gave the five big ones of Eagle City Academy a 6-0, and the opponent didn't have much

Complaints or reluctance, they have already prepared themselves mentally after knowing that their opponent is the national champion of last year.

In this way, this year's national top eight have all been released. Like last year, they are still the same few schools, the only difference is that Yamabuki is added and Shishiraku is missing.

That's right, Shishiraku didn't even make it to the top eight this year, and in the original work, next year Shishiraku will even lose the position of Kyushu overlord to Higachu, but now without Mu Te, no one knows whether Higachu can still rise.

Fudomine's opponent tomorrow is Makino Fuji, and Shitenhoji's luck this year can be said to be extremely bad, because they actually met Rikkai University directly, while Yamabuki faced Seigaku, and finally Nagoya faced Hyotei.

However, this list of the top eight made the audience speechless, which was more exaggerated than last year. Kanto and Kansai regions directly contracted the top eight in the country this year.

The next day, the quarter-finals officially began. After the Fudo Mine arrived at the competition venue, they found that the Makunofuji players had not arrived yet, so they simply began to prepare themselves.

It was not until the game was about to start that the Makunofuji players hurriedly arrived. No one knew what had happened to them, and Akashi didn't care at all.

The singles match of the third match started soon. Makunofuji played Hagi, a third-year player. Fudo Mine directly arranged for Kurasaki to play. The final result was 6-0, and Hagi was defeated miserably.

In the doubles match of the second match, the two players of Makunofuji had basically no game experience against Tachibana Kihei and Chitose, and were beaten 6-0 again. Menkyogo, who came back from warming up on the sidelines, had a calm face. It was not that he didn't care, but Akashi was sitting not far away. He didn't dare to have any extra expression at all. The scene last year was still lingering in his mind.

In the singles match, Menkyogo faced Tezuka. Akashi still remembered that in the draw ceremony of the national competition in the original work, Menkyogo boasted that his super tennis could beat Tezuka, while Atobe directly said that if Menkyogo met Tezuka, he would probably not last more than 15 minutes.

When the two met now, the result was exactly the same as Atobe said. The match ended in a little over 14 minutes. Tezuka only used a few zero-type short balls throughout the whole process, and did not even use the field.

Makinofuji could only end this year's national competition journey with three 6-0s. Because of Akashi, Menkyogo didn't even dare to say that he would definitely beat you next year.

In the match between Shitenhoji and Rikkai University, Yukimura actually arranged for Xiaokai to play singles three, and his opponent was Kenya Oshitari. Yukimura was also very ruthless to directly train Xiaokai in the national competition. (PS: Kirihara in the first grade has not completely turned into a kelp head)

Young Kirihara Akaya

After the game started, Kirihara could only barely cope with Kenya's super fast speed, but it was still difficult to make an effective counterattack. However, his strength has also been significantly improved under the training method provided by Akashi.

From this game, it can be seen that Kirihara's talent is really good, even surpassing some second-year players, such as Kenya Oshitari who is now competing with him.

Even though Kenya has been to U17 training, he still can't easily crush Kirihara. It can only be said that he has the upper hand now, but Kirihara is not a master who will easily give up.

During a hard pursuit, Kirihara accidentally fell flat on the ground. After getting up, his eyes were instantly bloodshot, a violent emotion surged into his brain, and a cruel smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this time, a roar suddenly came from the sidelines.

"Kirihara Akaya! Did you practice calligraphy in vain? Calm down, you are too lax!" Sanada on the sidelines was now full of anger.

After hearing Sanada's voice, Kirihara's body trembled unnaturally, and then his blood-red eyes slowly returned to normal, and the huge sense of oppression that had become a habit came over him.

Ever since Yukimura listened to Akashi's advice, he forbade Kirihara to use the red-eye state, and for this reason he specially asked Sanada to take time to stare at him. Sanada was also very honest, and directly took out a large number of brush exercise books, allowing Kirihara to hone his character through calligraphy practice.

In the end, although Kirihara controlled his emotions, he lost the game with a score of 6-3, but the people of Rikkai University didn't care at all. Originally, this game was for Kirihara to grow, and winning or losing didn't matter.

In the subsequent doubles match, Golden Koharu and Ichiuji were no match for Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara. Even if their IQs were high, they could not make up for the gap in absolute strength. The final score was 6-1, and this was only because Marui was disgusted at the beginning and was absent-minded that he lost the game.

Single

The second match was between Hara Tetsuya and Yukimura. The result was self-evident. Hara Tetsuya was directly lost in the world of losing his five senses. He did not recover until the end of the game. This experience left him with lingering fears.

In the doubles match, the combination of Nioh and Yagyu had already begun to have a tacit understanding, while the opponents were Ishida Gin and Koishikawa Kenjiro. Ishida Gin's wave ball was directly sealed by Nioh, leaving no chance for Ishida Gin to use this move, while Yagyu had already developed a laser beam and directly scored several points with this move.

In the end, Shitenhoji still lost to Rikkai University and fell on the road to the national semi-finals. On the other side, Seigaku also successfully defeated Yamabuki, and the match between Hyotei and Nagoya had some minor twists and turns.

It was mainly because those foreign students were too noisy, which made our uncle Atobe completely angry. You know, Atobe had a bad time in the UK, and he still hasn't forgotten the feeling of being looked down upon from the bottom of his heart.

So Atobe didn't hold back during the game and directly broke the opponent's right hand with Waltz. This Furuya was unlucky. For two consecutive years, international students were injured in the game. Fortunately, there was only one this year.

When all the games were over, the top four of this year's national finals were also announced, namely Fudomine, Rikkai University, Hyotei and Seigaku. Everyone saw that they were all schools in the Kanto area, and three of them were in the Tokyo area.

The next day, the semi-finals of the national competition officially began. Fudomine played against Seigaku, and Hyotei played against Rikkai University again. This happened for two consecutive years. I don't know if this is good luck or bad.

The singles of the third Seigaku player was Kawamura Takashi, and Fudomine was Akutsu. Although Akutsu's fate has been changed by Akashi, the fate of Kawamura Takashi and Akutsu was forged long before Akashi intervened.

Akutsu was also a little easier to get along with than in the original work, so the two maintained a good relationship. At least Akutsu did not show any impatience or rejection towards Kawamura Takashi.

But no matter how good the relationship is, it can't change the result of this game. Akutsu still easily won 6-0, without leaving any so-called face for Kawamura Takashi, because Akutsu knew that this was the respect for Kawamura Takashi.

In the doubles match, the Qingxue team played with Inui Sadaharu and Kaidou Kaoru, who became a doubles team in advance, while Fudomine played with the old pair of Kurasa and Kido.

After the game started, Akashi clearly saw the changes of Inui Sadaharu, and his physical fitness has greatly improved. Even the waterfall leaking ground was developed in advance, which caught Kurasa and Kido off guard and directly won a point.

Unfortunately, it only worked once. After that, both Kurasa and Kido could easily receive the serve with a speed of more than 210 kilometers per hour. In the later stage of the game, Kaidou could barely see the ball path almost entirely with Inui Sadaharu's command.

The game ended quickly. Inui Sadaharu's data tennis did not help them control the situation. The score was 6-0, which can be said to be a miserable loss.

The two singles players were Fuji and Tezuka. They had finally fought each other again after the Kanto Conference last year. Compared with the last match, both sides had made great progress.

Fuji relied on his evolved Void and Ethereal to directly break Tezuka's Domain and Thousand Hammers, and at the same time, he fought back and forth with Tezuka with the other five-fold return and Aoi Blowing Snow.

Unfortunately, Fuji still had no way to deal with the Zero Serve. He also tried to pick up and return again, but failed. In this way, the two won and lost each other until Tezuka used Perfect Fit.

Under the erosion of Tianyi Guanghui, Fuji's strength was gradually suppressed, and he completely lost the ability to resist. In the end, the game ended with Tezuka's victory, with a score of 6-2, just like last year's Kanto Conference. This has to be said to be an irony.

On the other side, in the match between Hyotei and Rikkai University, Yukimura did not play this time, and the game ended, with a total score of 3-1. Except for the match between Atobe and Yanagi Renji, all others were lost.

In singles, Jiro was defeated by Mori again. It can be said that Jiro's greatest ability now is what Mori taught him. In doubles, Shishido Ryo and Houchotaro were also completely defeated by Niou and Yagyu.

As for doubles, Hibiki and Oshitari were able to fight with Marui and Jackal at the beginning, but as the game continued, Hibiki began to gradually fail to keep up with the rhythm. His style of play was destined to be a big problem for physical fitness, especially in this kind of game with some gaps in strength.

Although Oshitari forcibly delayed the game, hoping that Hibiki would take the opportunity to recover some physical strength, Marui and Jackal were not fools. They directly attacked with all their strength and finally won the game.

The end of the two games

After that, the two teams in the national competition finals were the same as last year, Fudomine and Rikkai University. The audience was not surprised by this result, but they didn't know whether the ministers of the two schools would meet again this time.

However, what happened next completely disappointed the audience's expectations, because Yukimura's disease showed signs of recurrence again. Fortunately, he had been having regular physical examinations. This time, on the eve of the finals, Yukimura went to the hospital for a routine examination.

After the results of this examination came out, the doctor found some abnormalities. After knowing this, Sanada immediately notified Akashi and Dr. Takahashi. After all, Dr. Takahashi came to help Yukimura with the treatment for Akashi's sake. On this issue, Sanada would not make a low-level mistake.

After Akashi knew about this, he also took it seriously and hurried to the hospital where Yukimura was examined. After sending the examination report to Dr. Takahashi, the other party said that it was okay and there was no big problem. Recently, pay more attention to relax your body and mind, don't work too hard, and take a few more days of medicine to fully recover.

Under Akashi's questioning, Yukimura told the whole story. It turned out that recently, Yukimura was training his left hand intensively, and was constantly developing new moves. He used the five senses to destroy himself many times, which made his body unable to resist for a while and showed signs of relapse.

Since Dr. Takahashi said it was not a big problem, Akashi was relieved. He asked Sanada to take good care of Yukimura and left. Yukimura knew the severity of the situation, so Akashi didn't need to worry about it.

The next day, at the final of the national competition, Yukimura's name was not on the list of players of Rikkai University, which made some viewers a little confused, but Yukimura still appeared at the game, but today he would only sit in the coaching seat and would not play.

In the singles match, Maori was completely suppressed by Kurasa, and coupled with the baptism of the vortex, Maori tried his best but only got a 6-1 result.

In the doubles match, Marui and Jackal actually started to synchronize under the huge pressure of Tachibana Kihei and Chitose, but it was useless. Junior high school doubles No. 1 is not just a casual talk.

In the singles match, Sanada directly faced Akashi. The result is predictable. Sanada's lightning ball was completely ineffective against Akashi. Akashi completely suppressed Sanada with pure five dimensions without using any super-standard ball skills.

Because of Yukimura's illness, the final of this national competition did not meet the audience's expectations, but they still cheered enthusiastically for Fudomine's second consecutive national championship.

At the same time, in the U-17 training camp, Byodoin finally returned to Japan, but he did not come back alone. Behind him was the former member of the French team, the King of Destruction - Duke Watanabe!

A few days later, when the junior high school students returned to the training camp, Akashi was not surprised to hear the news. It seemed that Duke had joined the Neon Team. This was a very strong force. In a less developed country, Duke would be a top player.

In addition, the International Tennis Association revealed that the world championship next year might require junior high school students to participate. It was said that this was a mandatory condition that all participating countries had to comply with.

This made Mifune's eyes light up instantly, and Akashi did not have to participate in the expedition for the time being. He hoped that Akashi could become a hidden trump card of the Neon Team.
