Prince of Tennis: It's my system. My victory depends entirely on the host.
Chapter 20 Freshman Selection (3)
The successive failures created a heavy atmosphere among the main players. Iida Jōji could not stand such a heavy atmosphere, so he opened his tennis bag, took out his racket, and clapped and cheered each other with his partner.
"It's time to go, Hideo. Come on!" Ida Jōji made an encouraging gesture to Sakurai Hideo and pretended to be full of energy as he stepped onto his own court.
Opposite him was Yanagi Renji who had his eyes closed. Ida Jōji had a stern look on his face, "Brother, the game is about to start, don't you need to open your eyes? Are you confident in your own abilities?"
It's a courageous act to challenge a senior, but playing the game without opening your eyes is somewhat disrespectful to him as a senior.
Knowing that this senior was easily angered and had a bad temper, Yanagi Renji did not answer him, but said calmly: "Hurry up and start, senior, there are still people waiting to compete."
A " " popped up on Iida Jōji's head. This junior seems a little arrogant. I really want to break his current expression.
Iida Jōji held his breath and won the right to serve by flipping a coin.
Iida Jōji decided to teach his junior a lesson. He threw the ball high into the air, then immediately jumped up and hit the ball hard at Yanagi Renji's feet.
According to Yanagi Renji's judgment, he could not receive this ball, so he did not move and let the serve bounce behind him, leaving a deep mark on the ground.
"He's a power-type player that doesn't match his appearance. This is really troublesome." Yanagi Renji began to build a data model about Iida Jōji in his mind, constantly filling it with Iida Jōji's data.
So to outsiders, it seemed that Yanagi Renji was afraid of Ida Joji's powerful serve and stood there motionless.
"Ha, look, he's so scared that he can't move. I knew it, how could these first-years defeat us seniors!" Iida Joji's advantage seemed to have become a fig leaf for these second and third-years to save their dignity. Seeing Yanagi Renji lagging behind, they all started to laugh.
"Shut up and watch the game carefully." Nozawa Sho doesn't think that Ida Jōji's current advantage will continue.
Didn't you see that these juniors were indifferent to the current situation? It would take a long time before that squinty-eyed junior would exert his strength.
"Marui Pig, let's make a bet. How many games do you think Liu will need to collect information?" Niou, who was playing against Sakurai Hideo, was absent from Marui Bunta during the break of the game.
"No gambling, three rounds at most." Marui Bunta handed the thermos cup in his hand to Niou, asking him to replenish water. Since Senior Taneshima was not here, he was the only one who kept an eye on Niou's diet.
Niou snorted and took a sip of the Chinese herbal drink in the thermos, his face wrinkled up because of the bitterness. Where did this Marui get this prescription from? It was so unpalatable!
After drinking, Niou returned to the court to continue his game with Sakurai Hideo. His game was not as interesting as that of Yanagi next to him.
Nioh, who wanted to test the limits of his physical strength, did not use any special moves, but just used basic skills to compete with Sakurai Hideo, so the match between them was back and forth.
Iida Jōji should have been happy that he was in the leading position, but the illusion that he was being spied on made him feel uncomfortable.
He looked at Yanagi Renji, who was staring at him without saying a word, frowned and scolded: "What did you do to me? Why do I feel uncomfortable all over?"
Yanagi Renji, who had already lost three games to Ida, smiled slightly when he heard this, "Data collection is complete!"
"Why are you playing tricks on me!" Ida Joji, who already felt something was wrong but couldn't tell what it was, angrily hit the ball into Yanagi Renji's court, but due to his unstable emotions, the ball landed a little close to the net.
"Oh no!" Ida Jōji thought to himself that something was wrong and was afraid that Yanagi Renji would hit a short ball, so he quickly ran to the tennis ball. However, he didn't expect the tennis ball to fly past his ear and into the backcourt.
"There's a 100% chance that Senior Iida will come to the front court." After saying this to Iida Jōji, Yanagi Renji returned to the baseline and stood still. At this moment, he opened his eyes, which had been squinting, and his brown eyes shone coldly like arrows.
Iida Jōji's whole body froze. This guy seemed to be predicting his next move.
In order to verify this idea, Iida Jōji repeated the serve, but this time Yanagi Renji did not hit the ball to the backcourt, but hit a short ball.
The ball bounced gently on Iida Jōji's court, and the crowd watching was silent.
"There's a 100% chance that Ida-senpai's ball will go into the backcourt." Ida Jōji's shocked look seemed to please Yanagi Renji. His eyes curved into a crescent, but the words in his mouth made Ida Jōji fall into the abyss.
Next, every move of Iida Jōji was predicted by Yanagi Renji, and gradually Yanagi caught up with Iida Jōji and surpassed him.
Ida Joji was manipulated by Yanagi Renji like a puppet and lost the game with the result of 6:3.
It was the first time that Ida Jōji encountered this type of person and he was in shock for a long time. The feeling of being seen through was terrible!
After the game, he refused to shake hands with Yanagi Renji and ran out of the tennis court alone.
"Hey, senior, can you please be serious? Piyo" Niou was speechless when he saw Sakurai Hideo was still absent-minded when competing with him.
Senior, you are the one who is behind now, and you still care about others. Niou Masaharu, who complained about his incompetence, calmed down his breathing and felt a little bored. His opponent was not paying attention to the game.
Niou Masaharu didn't want to compete with Sakurai Hideo, so he increased his speed and finished the game after a few minutes. Niou won the game 6:1.
The last one to finish was the Jackal Kuwahara. It took him nearly 40 minutes to find a way to defeat Hasegawa Kaede. The score was 6:4.
The challenge between the freshmen and the regular players of Rikkai University has come to an end. The regular players of Rikkai University have all lost the game and their qualification to be regular players.
"No way, they really, actually all did it!" Kudo Taro, who had talked with Marui Bunta before, looked at Marui Bunta and others with admiration. He also joined the tennis club, and he didn't expect that his classmates would be so amazing!
The second and third year members were also shocked; their regular players all lost to the freshmen!
"Then, from today on, the position of captain will be held by Seiichi Yukimura!" Sho Nozawa, who had already woken up, stood on the assembly platform and fulfilled the agreement made before the game.
"Minister, this, this is not a tradition of having a freshman serve as minister." A third-year member objected, thinking that having a freshman over their heads was a big deal.
"Rikkai University doesn't have any tradition of not letting first-year students become presidents! Rikkai University has always been about the ability to get the position. If you have any objections, you can challenge the new president. If you win, what's wrong with letting you become president?"
Nozawa Sho said sternly to the member that he was not someone who could not afford to lose, and he was happier than anyone else that Rikkai University had a successor!
"Similarly, I will give the position of deputy minister to Genichirō Sanada. If anyone has any objections, you can challenge him." Taichi Miyazaki followed Sho Nozawa to express his attitude.
Miyazaki Taichi knew his friend's feelings very well, and he was also pleased with the bright future of Rikkai University. It was great that he had fulfilled the instructions of his predecessors and did a good job. Miyazaki Taichi's eyes suddenly turned red.
In order to ensure that his juniors could take over the tennis club smoothly, he spoke to comfort the second and third year members, "The motto of Rikkai University is to strive for self-improvement and work hard. Our tennis club has always been adhering to this will. The seniors who won the Kanto Tournament 13 times in a row have paid a lot for us."
"The glory of Rikkai University must not end in our hands!"
Most of the second and third year members of the tennis club had tears in their eyes when they heard Miyazaki Taichi's words, and those who opposed him stopped shouting and remained silent.
Yes, no one knows better than them the hardships behind this glory.
Even without professional coaching, successive captains of the Rikkai University Tennis Club have led the club members to win one Kanto tournament trophy after another. Only the members of the tennis club can understand the blood and tears behind this.
"Then, can they guarantee to bring back the national competition trophy for Rikkai University?" Ida Joji, who lost the game, didn't care about the qualification for the starters. He only cared about whether these freshmen could do what they couldn't do.
The scene of being laughed at by Kansai School is still vivid in his mind. He has heard calls like the perennial third best and the defeated opponent of Makino Teng, and even more unpleasant ridicules.
He just wants to bring glory back to the tennis he loves and his trusted partners, nothing more.
"Of course we can! I, Yukimura Seiichi, hereby swear that not only will we bring back the national championship trophy, we will also surpass Makino Fuji and win the national championship for three consecutive years!" Yukimura Seiichi answered Ida Jōji in a resounding voice, his eyes revealing tenacity and domineering.
This is Yukimura Seiichi's confidence in his own abilities, as well as his confidence in his companions.
After making an oath with his senior, Yukimura Seiichi continued to announce.
"Starting today, everyone can participate in the qualifying challenge every month. The list of the main players will be selected from the top eight players in the competition, and one semi-main player will be added as a substitute in case of emergencies."
"Starting from next Monday, I will replace the tennis club's training menu. From now on, the regular training menu will be updated once a month, and the members' training menu will be updated once a quarter."
"I hope everyone in our tennis club will work hard towards the goal of three consecutive championships. There is no blind spot for Rikkai University's three consecutive championships!"
"Three consecutive championships, no dead ends!" Marui Bunta and Niou Masaharu shouted the slogan. Finally being able to say this familiar slogan again, their eyes began to ache.
Gradually, the freshmen also joined in the cheering, followed by the regular seniors and the second and third year members.
The powerful slogan surprised reporter Inoue who happened to arrive at the tennis club. Has the situation at Rikkai University changed? . . . . .
