Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

After the game, Akashi started to organize a dinner for everyone. He arranged for someone to book a restaurant this morning. He also asked Butler Tanaka to find Mitsuya and Irie. Although Seigaku was eliminated, Fuji and the others decided to stay and continue to watch the national competition. Atobe didn't mind continuing to provide accommodation for Seigaku and others, anyway, the hotel rooms were booked until the day of the finals. In the largest private room in the restaurant, the top four schools, including Seigaku and others, gathered together, Irie and Mitsuya were also there, and the members of Fudomine and Hyotei were eating outside. Unfortunately, Yamabuki and the people in Rokkaku returned to school on the day of elimination. Banye and Laodie were not suitable for staying outside for a long time because of their age. It is summer vacation now, so the national competition will not be held until the weekend like the previous competitions, but will be held according to the time arranged by the organizer. The two teams that win all the games in the first three days will enter the finals, which will be held 4 to 5 days after the semi-finals.

Everyone is very happy about the arrival of Mitsuya, especially Yanagi Renji and Inui Sadaharu. As for Irie, because of Akashi's introduction, no one thought much and ate the big meal happily together.

The people of Shitenbao Temple devoured the food at the table. It was rare to have so many delicacies, so of course they had to let go of their stomachs to taste them, and let the flowing noodles go to hell!

Yamato started crying while eating at the table. Of course, it was not because it was unpalatable, but because he was too excited. He finally realized his dream of three years. Seigaku not only entered the national competition, but also made it to the quarterfinals. Although he lost today, Yamato was very satisfied.

Slowly, the people of Shitenbao Temple also became familiar with everyone, especially the funny duo of Hara Tetsuya and Hira Yoshiyuki, who made everyone laugh.

At the end of the dinner, the two adults present were drunk. Everyone looked at Ryuzaki Sumire and Watanabe Osamu in silence. As a coach, he had to take care of his players back to the hotel. Ishida Gin carried the two coaches on his shoulders, one on each side. Everyone wanted to help, but he refused. In his words, this is a kind of practice.

After returning to the hotel, everyone began to adjust their status and recover their physical strength. There is still a semi-final to play tomorrow. Fudomine's opponent is Shitenhoji as Akashi thought, and Hyotei will face Rikkai University again.

The next day, the semi-finals of the national competition officially began, and everyone from the top four schools also came to the competition site. Fudomine and Shitenhoji's regulars entered the competition court together. Although everyone was familiar with the road, Watanabe Osamu still came to Akashi and shook hands.

"I hope we can have a wonderful game today, what do you think~ Akashi-san!" Watanabe Osamu said with a toothpick in his mouth.

"This is what I expect too!" Akashi responded with a smile.

After a while, the referee announced the official start of the game and let the three singles players from both sides enter the court. Shitenhoji still played Shiraishi Kuranosuke, but Fudomine played not Akutsu, but Tezuka Kunimitsu!

Shiraishi Kuranosuke

Akashi really wanted to see what Shiraishi would do when facing Tezuka, who was the ceiling of the Chinese mid-spin ball technology in the original work. It might be difficult to crack even Tezuka's field just by relying on basic tennis.

Both sides came to the net to salute, and then started to guess the first point. Shiraishi won the right to serve. Akashi was used to it. I don't know if it was because of the change of fate that caused the luck to run out. Tezuka would lose every time he guessed the first point.

"The game ends! Shitenhoji will serve first!"

Shiraishi stood on the baseline, looking at the serious Tezuka opposite, feeling a little uneasy. After these days of understanding, he also roughly knew how strong Tezuka was. It is said that he also opened the legendary seamless, but Shiraishi didn't believe it very much.

Throwing the tennis ball high up in his hand, Shiraishi used an extremely standard action to serve the ball. Both the speed and angle were very good, but it had no effect on Tezuka.

Tezuka quickly came to the landing point and swung his racket directly, giving the tennis ball a rotation. Shiraishi did not notice the difference and still hit the ball back with a textbook-like action.

After the tennis ball flew over the net, a huge white cyclone appeared around Tezuka. The tennis ball was directly pulled in front of Tezuka along the cyclone. Then Tezuka adjusted his batting posture and hit the tennis ball back directly.

"Is this the rumored Tezuka domain? It's really incredible~"

Shiraishi was not surprised by Tezuka's domain, but was more motivated to fight. He wanted to experience the power of Tezuka's domain himself.

Shiraishi did not hesitate and swung his racket directly at the tennis ball. While hitting the ball, he tried his best to reduce the rotation on the tennis ball, but the tennis ball was still pulled towards Tezuka after flying over the net.

In this way, Tezuka was not in a hurry to score, but wanted to see what Shiraishi could do. The two fought each other for several rounds, but Shiraishi could not break through Tezuka's domain head-on. Finally, Tezuka did not hold on any longer, seized an opportunity, and scored directly.

"0-15!"

Shiraishi did not show a frustrated expression, and still used extremely standard movements to send the tennis ball. Tezuka also used the domain without hesitation, as if it was a replica of the ball just now. Shiraishi was still trying to crack the domain, but this time Tezuka did not delay for too long and scored cleanly.

"0-30!"

"0-40!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

Soon Tezuka broke the serve easily. Shiraishi tried various methods but could not break through Tezuka's territory head-on, which completely exposed Shiraishi's weakness.

Players like Shiraishi, who are completely balanced in five dimensions and have a very solid foundation, will have certain advantages when encountering opponents of similar strength, because they will not have any shortcomings.

However, once they encounter opponents with strengths exceeding their own, they will have no resistance. It is also because they have no shortcomings, but they also have no outstanding points and cannot defeat the strong with the weak.

In the original work, Tokugawa is the same as Shiraishi, who is also completely balanced in five dimensions, but he at least has some tricks, such as the fantasy serve, not to mention that Irie and the ghost later taught him the black hole and the Shura Road.

The second game was Tezuka's serve. Tezuka did not give Shiraishi any chance. He directly hit four zero-type serves, which completely stunned Shiraishi on the spot. It seems that Shiraishi's treatment is much worse than Fuji.

"GAME! Fudomine! 2-0!"

The third game was almost the same as the first. Tezuka completely suppressed Shiraishi with just the domain, leaving Shiraishi helpless. Even if he insisted, it was useless.

"GAME! Fudomine! 3-0! Switch venues!"

Shiraishi walked to the player's seat and began to replenish water. He had just spent a lot of energy to break through Tezuka's domain, but unfortunately there was no effect at all. At this time, Watanabe Osamu said:

"Shiraishi, to deal with a move like the domain, you can't just think about reducing the rotation on the tennis ball. You have to try to add a reverse rotation to the tennis ball!"

After hearing what Watanabe Osamu said, Shiraishi nodded seriously, and then began to think about how to add a reverse rotation to the tennis ball. In this game, he must find a way to break the domain.

On the other side, in the Fudo Mine player's seat, Akashi looked at Tezuka, who was not sweating much, and asked softly:

"Tezuka, what do you think of Shiraishi's strength?"

"The foundation is very solid, the movements are extremely standard, and he is very proficient in various tennis techniques, but I don't see anything that belongs to him!" Tezuka thought for a while and said seriously.

"That's right, Shiraishi is too loyal to the foundation, which has killed his own possibilities. But if he can go to the extreme on this road, he may not be able to create another world." Akashi agreed.

In the original world championship, Shiraishi completely exerted his foundation to the extreme and developed the Star Bible, which could instantly transfer his other five dimensions to one point, truly achieving no dead ends and comprehensive development of the five abilities.

Kimishima Ikuto's evaluation of him is that Shiraishi, who originally had only 4 in each of the five dimensions, can reach 7 in all five dimensions after using the Star Bible. You must know that when the five dimensions reach 7, it means that this attribute has reached the world level.

After the break, the game continued. This was Tezuka's serve. Of course, Tezuka still used the Zero serve. Shiraishi could only watch silently. This serve was too unsolvable.

"GAME! Fudomine! 4-0!"

After the fifth game started, Shiraishi tried to break Tezuka's territory again. This time, he listened to Watanabe Osamu and applied a reverse rotation to the tennis ball. However, the first two balls did not have any effect on the territory. Instead, because he was too focused on this, Tezuka seized the flaw and won the score.

"0-15!"

"0-30!"

After the third ball, Shiraishi's return finally caused the territory to begin to deform slightly, and the circle under Tezuka's feet also showed different traces.

After Shiraishi returned the ball again, Tezuka moved one step to the right, which meant that Shiraishi finally broke through.

Part of the domain, but then he found that a seven-color light rose from Tezuka's body, and the tennis ball instantly passed in front of him at twice the original speed, and then hit the bottom corner and flew out of the court.

"0-40!"

"I didn't expect it to be true. He can use the limit of the Thousand Hammers in the first grade. It's really too evil~" Watanabe Osamu said with emotion in the coaching seat on the sidelines.

Afterwards, facing Tezuka who had activated the basic state of the Thousand Hammers, Shiraishi didn't even have the chance to break the domain, because his racket was hit away after only two balls.

"GAME! Fudomine! 5-0!"

The next one was Tezuka's serve. Shiraishi was completely hopeless, but this time Tezuka didn't use the Zero serve again. This was the limit that Akashi saw with the Eye of the Emperor. Within 8 times, it would not cause any impact on the arm, but if it exceeded 8 times, the arm would slowly suffer slight damage.

Of course, this limit will gradually increase as Tezuka grows older. When his arms are fully developed and his skills have reached a certain level, there will basically be no big impact.

Although Tezuka only played an ordinary serve, the state of Thousand Hammers and Hundred Refinements combined with the field made Shiraishi watch his racket being hit again and again.

"GAME! 6-0! The game is over! The winner is Fudomine!"

In the end, Shiraishi still lost the game without scoring a single point. It can only be said that the gap between Shiraishi and Tezuka is too big now. If it weren't for Tezuka not wanting the game to drag on too long, he wouldn't even need to use the Zero Serve and Thousand Hammers and could easily win.

Watanabe Osamu looked at Shiraishi who was a little disappointed and shook his head helplessly. The strength of the two was completely not at the same level. He could only try his best to comfort Shiraishi and prevent his confidence from being hit too hard.

Next was the doubles match. Akashi arranged Akutsu and Kido to play, while Shitenhoji was played by Ishida Gin and Oshitari Kenya.

Akashi looked at the two people on the opposite side, smiled, and said softly:

"A combination of strength and speed? But you are still too weak now!"

This time, it was Shitenhoji's Kenya Oshima who won the serve, but Akutsu and Kide didn't care at all, and just turned around and walked to their own half of the court.

Oshima quickly sent the tennis ball and rushed to the net at the same time. He was very confident in his speed, otherwise he would not be called the speed star of Osaka in the original book.

Kenya Oshima

But Kide on the opposite side was faster than him. He came to the landing point with a flash and hit a diagonal shot directly, making the slow-moving Ishida Gin unable to react. The tennis ball hit the bottom corner and flew out of the court.

"0-15!"

Looking at Kide, Ken Oshima was also a little surprised. He didn't even notice how Kide moved to that position just now. He just felt that Kide had appeared at the receiving point in a flash.

But now was not the time for him to think too much. He sent out the tennis ball again, but Akutsu and Kido were much stronger than them, and they had no resistance at all, so they lost their serve.

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

It was Kido's turn to serve, and he directly hit the big bang serve, but the expected knockdown of the racket did not appear this time. Ishida Gin gritted his teeth, held the racket hard, and then shouted, and actually hit the big bang back.

Ishida Gin

But Akutsu in front of the net hit the tennis ball directly, and the tennis ball flew past Ishida Gin's feet in an instant, and Ken Oshitsuki on the side could not react.

"15-0!"

The same thing happened afterwards. Although Ishida Gin could barely hit back the big bang serve, Kido and Akutsu could always easily hit tennis balls that they could not keep up with.

"GAME! Fudomine! 2-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 3-0! Change venues!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 4-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 5-0!"

In the blink of an eye, Akutsu and Kido won five games, which made Ishida Gin and Oshitari Ken feel unprecedented powerlessness.

After the last game started, the situation still did not change, but Ishida Gin finally seized an opportunity and hit a wave ball, which was their last hope.

But reality is often very cruel. Akutsu intercepted the wave ball in an instant. Feeling the power from the tennis ball, Akutsu smiled. The ball finally looked good. Then he exerted his arm and hit the wave ball back.

When the people in Shitenhoji saw Akutsu hit Ishida Gin's wave ball back so easily, they all showed expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Even Watanabe Osamu was the same.

Ishida Gin was completely dumbfounded. His special moves had no effect on the opponent. This game was completely hopeless.

"GAME! 6-0! The game is over! The winner is Fudomine!"

In the end, Fudomine won the second game easily. As long as they win the second singles, they can enter the finals. The people of Fudomine are not worried about this, because the second singles player is Akashi!

The second singles player of Shitenhoji is the same as yesterday, and it is their captain, Taira Yoshiyuki, but now ordinary national-level players are basically the same as supporting players for Akashi.

This time, Akashi finally won the guessing game. After the game started, Akashi did not waste time and served super fast, leaving Taira Yoshiyuki no chance to react.

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

Watanabe Osamu on the sidelines has closed his eyes. He knows that they have completely lost and have no chance. The opposite Fudomine captain can no longer be described as a monster.

The subsequent game was completely under Akashi's control. Even if Hei Zenyuki used a bullet, it had no effect on Akashi, let alone piercing the racket, and even making Akashi pause for a moment was impossible.

"GAME! 6-0! Game over! Winner, Fudomine!"

Soon after, the entire game was completely over. This time, Shitenhoji was completely defeated. No one scored a single point. It can only be said that they were unlucky to meet Fudomine in the semi-finals. However, if they met Rikkai University, the outcome might be similar, and they would only be able to get a few points.
