Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

After the match between Fudo Mine and Rikkai University, the list of finalists for this year's national competition was released. However, many people did not expect that Hyotei would challenge Fudo Mine for the top spot in the country before the game. In fact, most viewers still think that Fudo Mine and Rikkai University will compete for the final victory this year. Unfortunately, fate is a trick. Who would have known that Fudo Mine and Rikkai University would meet in the semi-finals? Even some viewers with dark conspiracy theories think that Atobe used family power to control the progress of the game. Of course, these people are just thinking about it in their hearts. After all, the Atobe family is not someone they can offend. Of course, our uncle Atobe would not know about the audience's little thoughts, but even if he knew, he would not care, because the finals would be held in a week, so Atobe had already returned to his school with the Hyotei people. This is the advantage of holding the competition at home.

Although Fudomine and Seigaku are still some distance away from the competition venue, they are also schools in the Tokyo area, so after the competition, the people of Seigaku also returned to their own schools, and Akashi and the others rushed to the nearest hospital with the people of Rikkai University. However, before leaving, Akashi still arranged hotel accommodation for the people of Shitenbao Temple and Higachu, so that they could watch the finals in a week.

To say that Shitenbao Temple and Higachu are also quite strange, their school did not give any activity funds at all, but only provided round-trip air tickets, which were the cheapest discounted economy class, so if they wanted to watch the finals, they would definitely not choose to go back first.

After arriving at the hospital, Akashi asked the chief physician Tezuka and Yukimura about their conditions. Fortunately, their conditions were not serious and they would be fine as long as they rested for a few days. However, the doctor finally warned Akashi and the others that it would be best not to happen again in the future, otherwise no one could guarantee whether there would be sequelae.

Akashi also thanked the doctor and then led everyone to visit Tezuka and Yukimura. After arriving at the ward, seeing Tezuka with an ice pack on his left hand and Yukimura with a fever patch on his head, Akashi didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, there are two social masters in Rikkai University and Fudomine. Kintaro and Kirihara rushed to the bedside immediately. Kirihara asked Yukimura about his health, while Kintaro pestered Tezuka to play basketball with him after his injury healed.

That night, Tezuka and Yukimura went through the discharge procedures and returned to their respective homes. Since it was summer vacation, most students did not go to school, so in the next few days, everyone from Fudomine and Hyotei was training hard in their own schools.

A week passed quickly, and tomorrow is the date of the national finals. During this period, many spectators are waiting with excitement, and the organizers are working overtime to consolidate the walls and ground around the competition venue to further improve its hardness. Of course, Akashi and Atobe intervened.

In the evening, in Hyotei Academy, Atobe came to the tennis court. Looking at the dark environment around him, he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. Although they made it to the national finals this year, Atobe knew very well that the gap between Hyotei and Fudomine could not be made up by tactics alone.

Suddenly, a footstep sounded behind Atobe, and then Taro Sakaki's voice slowly sounded:

"It's so late, you're still staying on the tennis court, are you worried about tomorrow's final, Atobe!"

"Humph! Sooner or later, I will dominate the entire tennis world!" Atobe said narcissistically as always.

"Is that so? But I infer that in tomorrow's final, Akashi Seijuro has a high chance of playing singles three, do I need to stagger you with him?" Taro Sakaki was very familiar with Atobe's personality, and did not respond to him, but instead discussed with him the order of appearance in tomorrow's game.

"Why do you think I need to avoid Akashi? This time, it's just right for me to have a good match with that guy! Just like the darkness around, as long as I want, I can turn it into daytime at any time!" After saying that, Atobe snapped his fingers, and all the surrounding lights turned on, making the entire court as bright as day.

"This is the Atobe Keigo I know! Don't lose the final, bastard!" Shishido Ryo's voice came from the side.

"The winner will be Hyotei!" This is Kabaji's voice.

"How dare you say that~ Atobe!" This is Taketo Murohito.

"Since Atobe has such confidence, then

Then I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman!" Inuzuka's unhurried voice sounded.

"To overcome the superior with the inferior! This is what the emperor who leads Hyotei Academy should do!" Hiyoshi Waka said firmly.

"Come on! Atobe senior! You are the best!" Houchotaro encouraged Atobe's morale.

"Zzzzz......." Jiro fell asleep again.

Atobe looked over and found that all the Hyotei's regulars were in the tennis court at the moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on Atobe in the middle of the court. Seeing this scene, even Atobe's heart softened slightly, but then he showed his arrogant expression and said loudly:

"Huh? Who do you think I am? The champion of this year's national competition can only be our Hyotei! "

The next day, a large number of tennis enthusiasts gathered in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, and of course there were many tennis and sports media. They all came to watch the finals of this year's junior high school national competition. Since the Byodoin four years ago, junior high school tennis has entered the eyes of more and more people, especially the match two years ago that almost fooled all the audience.

This year is no exception. Even many spectators have found that the strength of Akashi and his players is far superior to Byodoin. The destruction of the competition venue has become a daily occurrence. Whether it is the huge pits on the wall or the glass fragments on the ground, they are telling the audience to be careful when watching the game!

Of course, the organizers have noticed this a long time ago, so within this week , frantically reinforcing the hardness of the venue, especially the places near the audience seats, and doing everything possible to reduce the risk of the audience.

At this time, four buses slowly drove into the parking lot of the gymnasium, and the words of Fudomine and Hyotei were printed on the buses. It was not known whether the two schools had agreed or it was a coincidence. In short, they arrived at the competition site at the same time again.

As the door opened, Akashi and Atobe slowly got off the bus with their own members. When the two sides saw each other, they did not show any surprise. They were familiar with this situation.

"I actually met you again, what a coincidence~" Atobe looked at Akashi opposite and said in a playful tone.

"So are you ready to fail? Atobe!" Akashi responded very calmly.

"Huh? Don't make a mistake! It should be Akashi, are you ready to be pulled down from the throne by me?" Atobe looked a little unhappy, but soon said in a disdainful tone.

"I hope you have this ability, Atobe! But you should know that failure does not exist for me! "Akagi's tone remained indifferent.

"Hmph! You will know my true strength when we play later!" Atobe snorted coldly, and then led everyone to the direction of Hyotei's lounge.

"Okay! Let's go too!" Akashi glanced at Atobe's back, and without saying anything else, he greeted everyone and walked towards the Fudomine lounge.

At this time in the stadium, there were almost no empty seats in the audience seats, and most of the front row seats were occupied by the regulars of various schools, including Rikkai University, Seigaku, Shitenhoji, Higa Junior High School, and Yamabuki, and of course some members from other schools, such as St. Rudolph's Mitsuki Hajime.

Of course, there were several more eye-catching figures in other places, and the most eye-catching one was Ochi Tsukiko's unusual height. Even if she was sitting in her seat, she still stood out from the crowd.

Ochi knew that Hyotei would play this year. After entering the national finals, he took a special leave and came to the game to watch. Although he knew that Hyotei's chance of winning was almost zero, as a member of the U17 team, he knew too well how terrifying Akashi and his team were.

As for why Ochi did not go to the overseas expedition, it can only be said that it was the result of Akashi's butterfly flapping its wings. In order to hide its strength, Mifune did not send all the members of the first team to the overseas expedition.

Of course, our old acquaintances Mitsugaya Akuto and Irie Kanata also came with Ochi, and even Tanejima Shuji came to join in the fun this time. Unfortunately, Oni was still in the training camp teaching Tokugawa and had no time to watch the final.
