Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The old man was very happy.

When Akashi started watching the game, the Eye of the Emperor was thoroughly observing Yukimura's every move. Akashi was now very sure that Yukimura did not use his full strength in the game just now, at least his mental energy consumption was not as great as imagined.

After the game, everyone returned to the hotel, but many people were ready to go around Osaka Prefecture. The finals would be held in four days, so there was no need to worry about the game for the time being.

As for the eliminated Shitenbao Temple and Hyotei, they had no pressure at all. Anyway, there was no third place in the national competition, and they had no games to play. Akashi also readily agreed to Shitenbao Temple's decision to stay and watch the finals, and promised to cover all their travel expenses.

In this way, people from the five schools began to travel around Osaka Prefecture, looking around, and some even went to the neighboring Hyogo Prefecture to take a sea bath and soak in hot springs.

Soon, four days passed. Today is the day of the national finals. Tennis enthusiasts from all over the country came to the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium to watch, and even some schools that were eliminated before sent representatives.

As a senior editor of Tennis Monthly, Inoue Mamoru certainly would not miss this grand event. He has been paying attention to Fudomine since its rise, and witnessed the birth of a new king.

In addition, in the U17 side, in addition to Irie and Mitsuya, even Oni came to the game site, and even Kurobe Yukio came with Oni, obviously receiving information from Irie and Mitsuya.

Today, Oni was wearing an ordinary sportswear and stood next to Kurobe Yukio, as if he was the coach, which made Irie laugh all the time, but Oni was used to it. He looked like this, what could he do?

Because it was the final, the organizers specially chose a venue that could accommodate many spectators. The overall specifications were no worse than those of some international professional competitions. It can be said that they spent a lot of money.

As the game approached, many spectators had already found their seats and were excitedly waiting for the game to start. However, among all the spectators, there were two groups of people who seemed out of place. They were the members of Hyotei and Fudomine. Although Fudomine was not like Hyotei, the regular members and ordinary members had the same uniforms.

But Akashi also customized uniforms for ordinary members, which were somewhat similar to the regular members, but without the stripes and patterns on the regular uniforms, only the three small characters of Fudomine were printed on the chest.

When the two sides of the game officially entered the venue, there was a huge applause and cheering at the scene. If it was some players with poor psychological quality, they would probably be shocked and unbalanced on the spot.

Soon the referee was in place, and soon announced the official start of the national competition finals, allowing the three singles players of both sides to enter.

However, what all the audience did not expect was that the two boys sitting in the coaching seats stood up at the same time and slowly walked into the court. The two sides of this singles match were actually Akashi Seijuro and Yukimura Seiichi!

When Yukimura came to the baseline, he threw his coat to Sanada on the sidelines. Akashi was stunned when he saw it. After thinking about it, he actually took off the coat he had been wearing and threw it to Kuranori.

When the two came to the net to salute, Yukimura looked at Akashi with a serious face and said:

"Finally, I can play against Akashi again. I haven't forgotten the game before entering school!"

"So are you ready to accept the fate of failure again? Yukimura!" Akashi responded calmly.

"I will do my best to defeat you, Akashi. This is the determination of a challenger!" Yukimura said very seriously.

Akashi didn't say anything else, but shook hands with Yukimura with an indifferent look, and then started guessing first. This time Yukimura won the serve.

"The game ends! Rikkai University High School serves first!"

Yukimura stood at the baseline, and a powerful spiritual power swarmed out, sweeping around Akashi on the opposite side. After Akashi noticed Yukimura's spiritual power, he didn't care too much, after all, Yukimura's spiritual power couldn't affect him.

Yukimura threw the tennis ball high up, swung the racket quickly, and at the same time attached his spiritual power to the tennis ball as if it was free. Akashi flashed to the landing point and easily hit the tennis ball back. The Eye of the Emperor of Heaven had already seen Yukimura's next move.

Yukimura on the opposite side did not hesitate, and immediately came to the tennis ball and fought back with all his strength, but the next moment, Akashi's figure suddenly appeared in front of the net, followed by a high-speed slam, and Yukimura only felt

In a flash, the tennis ball appeared outside the baseline.

"0-15!"

Yukimura adjusted his breathing, without any surprise or frustration on his face, and came to the baseline with a serious face, ready to serve again.

With the sound of hitting the ball, Yukimura hit the tennis ball to the left bottom corner of Akashi, but before the tennis ball landed, Akashi was already waiting at the bottom corner. Obviously, all of Yukimura's actions were under the control of the Eye of the Emperor.

When Akashi hit the tennis ball back, he found that Yukimura's mental power still wanted to invade his body, but unfortunately this level of mental power could never invade Akashi.

"0-30!"

Yukimura still ignored his loss of points, and continued to serve with an expressionless face. The mental fluctuations around him were still violent, and Akashi continued to ignore it and continued to score with the Eye of the Emperor.

"0-40!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 1-0!"

The game entered the second round. This time it was Akashi's turn to serve. Akashi, standing at the baseline, directly hit a high-speed serve at a speed of more than 210 kilometers per hour. However, Yukimura was not an ordinary person. His body left a shadow and appeared at the landing point, hitting the serve back.

The two began to attack again, but unfortunately with the Eye of the Emperor, Yukimura could not hold on for a few rounds and was defeated. The tennis ball flew past his feet.

"15-0!"

Just when Akashi was about to serve again, he suddenly found that his whole body was dark and he had lost all his senses. This made Akashi stunned. Then he sneered, and the dark world was shattered. All his senses were completely restored. Akashi said slowly:

"You actually used your mental power to force me into the world of destroying my five senses. Unfortunately, you have to pay a price for doing so, Yukimura!"

At this time, Yukimura, who was standing opposite, had dilated pupils and stood there, as if he could not feel anything. It was obvious that he was backfired by his own destruction of the five senses.

Seeing this situation, everyone at Rikkai University showed a look of surprise. They never thought that Yukimura would be hit by their tricks. It was really incredible.

"Did he get backfired because of the difference in mental power?" Kurobe Yukio said to Yukimura in the audience.

"Akashi's mental power is really terrifying. I have never seen someone with such a huge mental power at his age!" Ghost said seriously on the side.

"What a pity, that Yukimura Seiichi's mental power is also very outstanding, far exceeding his peers, but he met little Akashi, but I always feel that something is wrong~" Irie said hesitantly.

"Mental skills have the risk of backlash, this is good information!" Mitsuya said thoughtfully.

Akashi looked at Yukimura who was motionless, without mercy, and sent the tennis ball directly. The tennis ball flew directly over the net and bounced out of the court. Yukimura did not react at all.

"ACE! 30-0!"

"ACE! 40-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 2-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 3-0! Exchange venue!"

Yukimura was unable to move, and could only rely on Sanada to lead him to the other side of the court. During this period, Sanada called Yukimura many times, but it was useless.

"GAME! Fudomine! 4-0!"

"GAME! Fudomine! 5-0!"

The game continued. Yukimura was immersed in the world of destroying the five senses and could not break free. This was probably the first time he experienced his own moves.

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

Until the end, Yukimura was unable to recover and could only be easily defeated by Akashi in the singles match. Just when everyone in Fudomine was ready to cheer and everyone in Rikkai University was dejected, the entire space appeared like a mirror with cracks, and then completely shattered.

Everyone was surprised to find that the game on the field was still going on and did not end as they had just seen, and the score also changed dramatically, which stunned everyone. No one knew what was going on.

At this time, the score on the field was 3-1, Rikkai University 3, Fudomine 1! Akashi stood on the court, motionless. Yukimura on the opposite side looked at Akashi and said slowly:

"You seem to have had a good dream! Akashi-san!"

Irie in the audience finally understood where the problem just now came from. It turned out that everything was a dream woven by Yukimura. Even they in the audience were covered by the dream. Is this really a junior high school student?

"Is this?! Is it an illusion?" Gui said in surprise. Although his mental power is also very strong and he even mastered the Shura Road, he didn't expect that he would be affected by mental skills when watching a game.

The attack was so severe that he was caught without any defense.

Even the ghosts were like this, not to mention the others, who all looked at Yukimura with incredible expressions, and Yukimura served the tennis ball with a flowing gesture.

"ACE! 15-0!"

"ACE! 30-0!"

"ACE! 40-0!"

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 4-1!"

This time it was Akashi's turn to stand still and let Yukimura serve to score, and the next Akashi's serve was also judged by the referee to be Rikkai University's score because of the timeout.

"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 5-1! Change the venue!"

This time it was Kurasa who took Akashi to the court to change the venue, but he did not call Akashi like Sanada did, because he did not think Akashi would lose the game like this.

Unfortunately, Akashi still showed no signs of recovery in the end, and Yukimura won the last game again with four serves.

"GAME! 6-1! Game over! Winner! Rikkai University High School!"

Everyone at Fudo Mine couldn't believe that their minister had lost. Akashi, who had never lost, was defeated by the minister of Rikkai University today!

Just when everyone at Rikkai wanted to cheer for their minister's victory over the arrogant Akashi, the previous scene reappeared, and cracks appeared in the entire space again, and then, just like before, it shattered again.

Everyone at the scene was numb. Whatever happened, their worldview had been completely shattered anyway, and they could never put it together again!

At this moment, the situation on the field changed 180 degrees again. The score displayed on the LED score screen on the sidelines was 4-0! Fudo Mine was leading!

Akashi stood indifferently opposite Yukimura and said calmly:

"It is indeed a nice dream, but it is you who fell into the dream, Yukimura~"

Akashi noticed something strange as early as the beginning of the game, but he ignored it at that time. Normally, even if he wanted to use the five senses to destroy him, he would not need such a huge mental power, which was almost Yukimura's limit.

It was not until he found that Yukimura's mental power began to spread to the audience that he realized that Yukimura not only used the five senses to destroy, but had developed a new move - dream!

So Akashi suddenly had an idea in his mind, and then used the ability of the pseudo-ZONE to connect his mental power to Yukimura's mental power, and spread to the audience together.

"I was really fooled by these two guys! It taught me a lesson, don't relax at any time!" Ghost said with emotion.

"It's a completely unexpected development~ But now it's easy to understand. I'm afraid that Akashi has also used his mental power to cause this situation~" Irie said with a smile.

"Indeed! It's impossible to achieve a double dream with only Yukimura Seiichi's mental power, and even the audience can't be pulled into the dream. I should have thought of it earlier!" Kurobe Yukio frowned and said.

"Coach, I think we can also recruit Yukimura Seiichi in the future. His ability is very rare, and his own strength is not weak!" Ghost proposed to Kurobe Yukio at this time.

"I will consider this matter, and I also need to report to the head coach. This year's junior high school tennis world is too unusual, and I'm afraid it will surpass your class!" Kurobe Yukio said slowly.

Ghost and Irie both nodded. They were also deeply touched. Thinking back to when they were in the first grade of junior high school, they would probably be completely crushed by the two people on the court, without the ability to fight back.

In the entire court, only the referee was not affected from beginning to end, so he could not understand the discussion of the audience around him, but he was the referee, and he just had to judge the score.

The fifth game was Yukimura's serve, but Yukimura's current condition obviously made it impossible for him to serve, so the referee could only count the seconds, and then announced a timeout, and Fudomine scored.

"GAME! Fudomine! 5-0!"

The game came to the last game. This was the third time the audience had seen it, so they all felt a sense of memory disorder, even Fudomine and Rikkai people on the sidelines.

So this is the world of spiritual tennis? It's too scary, big man! I can't afford to offend! I can't afford to offend!

When Akashi stood at the baseline, ready to serve to end the game, Yukimura on the opposite side suddenly made a move to receive the ball, but his pupils were still in a state of dilation, which seemed a bit weird.

Akashi understood in his heart that Yukimura was about to break free from the shackles of the dream, and he noticed something wrong so quickly,

As expected of Yukimura Seiichi, the son of God in the original work.

Akashi waited for a while, then sent the tennis ball out. Yukimura on the opposite side actually ran towards the tennis ball, and the audience's attention was instantly focused on Yukimura.

Yukimura quickly came to the landing point and hit the tennis ball back accurately. Seeing this, Akashi suddenly thought of another ability of Yukimura in the original work - zero-sense tennis!

But now it should be just a coincidence. Yukimura has not mastered this ability, or he may not even have the idea of ​​developing it.

Thinking of this, Akashi immediately wanted to see what Yukimura could do in this state, so he slightly slowed down his offensive so that Yukimura could receive the tennis ball more easily.

The two of them started a seemingly fierce offensive in this weird way. Yukimura now relies entirely on his instinct and muscle memory for tennis to play, and Akashi cooperates intentionally or unintentionally.

Soon Akashi discovered that Yukimura in this state actually had a slight improvement in overall strength. I'm afraid this is really the prototype of inspiration tennis. After confirming this, Akashi did not hold back and won the score cleanly.

"15-0!"

"30-0!"

"40-0!"

The game soon came to the real end of the match. Many spectators had some psychological shadows, fearing that they would go crazy if they had to wait again.

At the moment when Akashi sent the tennis ball, Yukimura's pupils finally focused, and the whole person completely broke free from the dream. Without any hesitation, he went directly to the landing point and hit back Akashi's serve.

In fact, Yukimura had already had a vague sense in the previous few games, so he used all his mental power to react immediately after breaking free from the dream.

But even if Yukimura recovered, the situation would not get any better. Under Akashi's Eye of the Emperor, Yukimura still could not escape the fate of failure, and could only helplessly watch the tennis ball pass by him.

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

The audience did not cheer immediately, but waited for a long time. After confirming that the scene they imagined did not happen, they finally burst into huge cheers. This dramatic singles match is destined to be recorded in the history of the national competition!
