Prince of Tennis: The Emperor's Eye
Chapter 73
The battle was over, and the two sides were in chaos.
Yukimura, who was sitting on the Rikkai University coaching bench, looked at Atobe at this moment, his eyes slightly condensed, and he was a little surprised. With his ability, he could naturally see that Atobe had just aimed at Sanada's absolute blind spot.
Hundreds of Hyotei members around him immediately shouted Atobe's name and cheered. Now was the moment of life and death for Hyotei, and they had to do their part.
"What happened to that ball just now? Why didn't Sanada catch the ball? It was clearly just an ordinary straight ball!" Marui said with some surprise.
"Pu Li~, I always feel that there is a subtle sense of disobedience in Sanada's actions just now~" Niou said while looking at Sanada.
"Just now, it should be that Atobe's return hit Sanada's blind spot, causing Sanada to be unable to move in time!" Yanagi Renji said with narrowed eyes.
At this time, Sanada recalled the situation just now with some shock. At that moment, his body was completely unable to move, but it was obviously just an ordinary return. Why did this happen?
Thinking of this, Sanada looked at Atobe, who was covering one eye and laughing wildly, with a serious look. He knew that Atobe must have done something, but he couldn't see through it for a while.
"Sanada, you will be completely frozen for this game!" After Atobe laughed wildly, he regained his arrogant look again.
Sanada just frowned and ignored Atobe's shouting. He was confident in his strength. Even if Atobe had any new moves, he could break it in a short time.
Atobe sent the tennis ball again, and the two began to fight in front of the net again. After two rounds, Atobe shot out multiple ice cones in his eyes again, which were inserted around Sanada. After Atobe returned the ball, Sanada was once again fixed in place and unable to fight back.
"Ice World!"
"Hyotei Academy is leading!"
"GAME! Hyotei Academy! 5-3!"
With the help of Ice World, Atobe won the game and got rid of the match point crisis. Sanada still couldn't fight back against Atobe's attack, but he had a general idea of what was going on.
"Aiming at blind spots? As expected of Atobe, but Rikkai University's Kanto Championship has no blind spots!" Sanada said to Atobe with a serious expression.
"Are you still not giving up? You will never be able to escape from my eyes!" Atobe said nonchalantly.
The game started again. Sanada still used Fuuinzan to launch a fierce attack on Atobe, but Atobe, who had mastered the Ice World, was not afraid at all. He stared at Sanada with his eyes and saw through all his blind spots.
"GAME! Hyotei Gakuen! 5-4!"
"GAME! Hyotei Gakuen! 5-5!"
"GAME! Hyotei Gakuen! 6-5!"
In a flash, Atobe used the Ice World to win three games, and his momentum was getting higher and higher. On the other hand, Sanada's breathing became heavier. The double pressure of physical and psychological strength made Sanada hesitate.
He didn't know what to do. It was not impossible for Sanada to break Atobe's Ice World, but he was not willing to do it now. This was related to his heart knot.
However, Atobe didn't give Sanada time to continue to struggle. He sent the tennis ball directly at the baseline. Sanada could only temporarily put his worries behind him and fully deal with Atobe's offensive.
"Still can't let go of Tezuka? Genichirō~" Yukimura muttered to himself in the coaching seat.
Then Yukimura looked at Mori who had returned from warm-up, and said in a somewhat complicated tone:
"Mori-senpai, please get ready, you will be needed on the court later!"
"Oh? Do you think Sanada will lose? It's really rare~" Mori said in an unremarkable tone.
"After today's game, I will talk to Genichirō in person. Next, I'll leave it to Mori-senpai. Win the game neatly!" Yukimura said seriously without paying attention to Mori's ridicule.
At this time, the game on the field has come to the end of the match, the end of the match of Atobe. It's really sad to think about it. Not long ago, it was the end of the match of Sanada, but I didn't expect that the situation would take a 180-degree turn in a blink of an eye.
"Sanada, I think you should return this sentence to yourself. I will beat you into the abyss of defeat!" Atobe looked at the embarrassed Sanada and couldn't help but mocking him.
After hearing what Atobe said, Sanada, who was looking down, tightly clenched his racket, with a complex expression of anger, entanglement, guilt, etc. on his face.
Atobe ignored Sanada's reaction and threw the tennis ball high up and hit a quick serve.
Atobe also felt a little tired, and the speed of the ball dropped a lot.
Sanada gritted his teeth and hit the flying tennis ball directly as fast as the wind, but the speed was obviously much slower. Atobe quickly came to the landing point and hit the tennis ball directly with a forehand. Sanada also hit the aggressive fire without showing any weakness, but there was only a faint flame on the tennis ball.
Atobe's eyes flashed coldly again, and he shot out several ice cones, which pierced Sanada's body. He held the racket with both hands and hit the tennis ball hard towards one of the ice cones, while shouting:
"Freeze me forever! Sanada! Ice world!"
Just as the tennis ball passed the net, a trace of lightning flashed on Sanada's legs, but it eventually dissipated. The tennis ball passed by him, stirring up pieces of ice crystals.
"GAME! 7-5! The game is over! The winner is Hyotei Academy!"
After the game, Sanada lowered his head and stood on the court for a long time without saying a word, while Atobe covered his eyes. His eyes were completely bloodshot and red, just like a little seaweed a year later. In fact, if the game continued, Atobe's eyes would probably be the first to fail.
After a long time, Sanada slowly walked off the court, and Atobe was already applying an ice towel to his eyes in the player's seat. This game consumed a lot of his eyesight. If it continued, he would probably change his name to Uchiha Keigo (dog head save life)!
Sanada came to Yukimura and said in an extremely depressed tone:
"Sorry! Yukimura! I lost!"
"Genichiro! You and I both know that you could have won this game, but your heart bound yourself!" Yukimura's tone was rarely harsh.
After hearing this, Sanada fell silent again and did not respond to Yukimura. He knew it himself, but he could never get over the hurdle in his heart.
"Oh my goodness! It doesn't matter if you lose the game, Sanada, but you have to trouble an old man like me to clean up the mess. It's really troublesome~" Maori said half-jokingly, obviously trying to adjust the atmosphere.
"Mori-senpai, according to the data, you are only 503 days older than Sanada, so the title of old man is not suitable for you!" Yanagi Renji said seriously on the side.
Maori looked at Yanagi Renji speechlessly, and secretly complained in his heart: Is it necessary to calculate the age to the number of days? What a guy who doesn't know how to adapt, he will definitely not find a girlfriend in the future!
On the other side of the Hyotei player's seat, Atobe was applying ice to his eyes, and suddenly a nasty voice came from his ear.
"Oh? What's wrong with you, Atobe! Are you crying with your eyes covered?" Akashi stood behind the Hyotei player's seat and said with a smile.
Atobe suddenly pulled off the ice towel on his face, turned around and stared at Akashi with bloodshot eyes, and said with an unhappy face:
"What a joke! I will cry? Akashi, when did your eyesight deteriorate to this extent?"
"Look at your bloodshot eyes, is your eyesight overused? As expected, you are always inferior to eyesight~" Akashi said lightly with a mocking expression on his face.
"You guy!..." Atobe wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Sakaki Taro on the side. At this time, Oshitari immediately took a new ice towel and put it on Atobe's eyes. Although Atobe was still very unhappy, he did not resist.
"Akashi classmate, have you finished the game?" Sakaki Taro looked at Akashi and said.
"Yeah! That's right, but it seems that the situation of your Hyotei is not ideal!" Akashi did not tease Atobe, turned his head and looked at Sakaki Taro and said.
"Rikkai University is indeed very strong this year, but the game is not over yet, everything is possible!" Although Sakaki Taro said this, he knew in his heart that Hyotei had already lost.
Akashi smiled and said nothing. He looked at the two people who walked onto the court. Wow, it was another contest between the gods of sleep. Rikkai University was naturally Mori, and Hyotei was Akutagawa Jiro.
Jiro walked onto the court in a daze, but after seeing Mori on the opposite side, his face suddenly brightened up. He excitedly ran to the net and waved to Mori:
"Morri-senpai! Mori-senpai! I didn't expect to be able to play against you again. I'm so excited!"
Morri had a strange expression on his face. Looking at Jiro jumping around in front of the net, he suddenly didn't want to pay attention to this person. He didn't know if it was too late to pretend not to know him.
However, the referee broke his idea and signaled Mao Li to perform the pre-match salute as soon as possible. Mao Li had no choice but to smile reluctantly and said:
"Little Jiro, don't be too excited, just play well~"
"No problem! Senior Mao Li! Today I'll show you the new moves I learned!" Jiro said excitedly.
"Uh... forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything!" Mao Li
Li said helplessly.
Soon the two finished guessing first, Jiro got the right to serve luckily, and the referee announced the start of the game in time.
"The game ends! Hyotei Academy serves first!"
Jiro stood at the baseline, jumping excitedly, and the curly hair on his head also jumped back and forth with him. Then Jiro threw the tennis ball quickly, at a very low height, and swung the racket directly after throwing it up. After sending the tennis ball, the whole person rushed to the net quickly.
Mao Li was not surprised at Jiro's serve and net. He had seen it during the training camp. He quickly hit the tennis ball to Jiro's feet, but Jiro was not affected at all while running. With a flexible flick of his wrist, he directly picked up the tennis ball and hit it back.
Mao Li was not idle either. He quickly ran to the landing point and hit the tennis ball hard. The two began a rapid offensive and defensive battle. Jiro continued to attack in front of the net. His flexible wrist allowed him to receive some balls with particularly tricky angles.
However, the gap in overall strength is not so easy to make up. After a few rounds, Mao Li suddenly started to exert his strength, and Ji Lang was completely unable to resist and continued to lose points.
"0-15!"
"0-30!"
"0-40!"
"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 1-0!"
Mao Li easily broke the serve and won the first game. It is difficult for ordinary players to cross the national level, unless they are gifted like Akutsu, or like Fuji who can evolve at any time.
The next game is the same. No matter how Ji Lang attacked, he could not pose a threat to Mao Li. On the other hand, although Mao Li did not have any skills, he easily suppressed Ji Lang with the national level of five dimensions.
"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 2-0!"
"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 3-0!"
"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 4-0!"
In a blink of an eye, Mao Li won four games. This game seemed to have no suspense. The difference in strength between the two was too obvious.
The game came to the fifth game, and Jiro served. But at this moment, a scene that surprised everyone happened. Jiro suddenly lowered his head. If you listen carefully, you can hear a light snoring. He actually fell asleep in the game!
Everyone in Hyotei began to cover their faces. It was really embarrassing, but they knew that Jiro himself could not be blamed. This was not something he could control. Just when the Hyotei people were about to wake up Jiro, they were surprised to find that Jiro actually moved.
Although Jiro still closed his eyes and snored, it did not affect his serve at all. He threw the tennis ball in his hand up, swung the racket and leaned forward. After the tennis ball was served, Jiro ran to the net again, and his speed was much faster than before.
"What is this?! Senior Maori's trick?" Jackal said in shock.
"Yes, this is indeed Senior Maori's trick. It seems that something happened during the training camp that we don't know about. I didn't collect such information!" Yanagi Renji said with some dissatisfaction with himself.
On the court, Maori looked at Jiro who was still sleeping on the opposite side, and a subtle smile of appreciation appeared on his face. Then he quickly counterattacked. The two sides began to fight back and forth. Jiro's movements were even smoother and faster than when he was awake.
"15-0!"
"15-15!"
"15-30!"
"15-40!"
"30-40!"
"GAME! Rikkai University High School! 5-0!"
Although Maori won the game in the end, Jiro could barely keep up with Maori's moves. Of course, only Maori himself knew whether he was letting the opponent win.
"I didn't expect Maori to teach Jiro this trick on his own initiative. This saved me a lot of trouble~" Akashi said softly.
With the blessing of the sleeping state, Jiro's strength gradually approached the peak of the Kanto level, but there was still a long way to go before the national level.
"GAME! 6-0! The game is over! The winner is Rikkai University High School!"
In the end, Jiro still lost the game completely, but it was no wonder. The gap between the two sides could not be made up by a state skill. Jiro had performed well.
However, Jiro's defeat means that Hyotei will miss the Kanto tournament finals and can only compete with Seigaku for the third place tomorrow. It is indeed a bad fate~
On the bus back, Akashi was thinking about the order of appearances against Rikkai University tomorrow. First, he arranged Mu Te in the singles. The most important thing for him now is to completely break through to the national level, so it is not suitable for him to compete immediately.
