The No. 2 doubles match ended at this point, with both sides showing different performances.
In particular, the first-year students of Teikou and Hyōtei did not lose the reputation of their schools and showed their talents.
"Would the Ice Emperor lose first?"
"But being able to fight like this with Di Guang is very strong."
"But it's useless. I still lose."
Discussions began to ring around. Regarding this confrontation between Hyokui and Teikou, except for Seigaku, Rikkai University, and Yamabuki who came to observe, many people came with the mentality of watching a show.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Aida Reiko looked at Kise and Kasamatsu coming back and suddenly made a congratulatory sound.
"It's really exciting."
"You can have such reckless moments."
“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”
Imayoshi Sho looked at Kasamatsu, narrowed his eyes and joked.
"Hey, people are crazy sometimes."
Normally, Kasamatsu might not be able to do this kind of "self-harm" behavior.
But when things were urgent, he could not let himself become the one holding him back at that time.
It's rare that I do it as soon as my brain gets hot.
"Fortunately, the head is hard enough."
"If you have a fragile forehead, you'll definitely be knocked unconscious for a long time if you get hit, right?"
Takao looked at Kasamatsu helplessly. The bandage tied on his forehead was stained with a little blood, which looked oozing.
"But the results are good."
"well done!"
Hinata Junpei crossed his arms and approved of his behavior.
"Please invite the No. 1 doubles player from each school to appear!!"
Before they could rest for long, the referee's voice started to sound.
"Aha, it seems it's our turn to play."
Murasakihara put down the snacks in his hands, looking very casual, and walked towards the court ahead.
The moment they decided to play, the outcome of Doubles No. 1 was already determined.
because
"Murrasakibara-kun"
"I forgot my racket."
Kuroko in the back held his racket and walked behind him to remind him.
"It's okay, I know Hei Zai will get it for me."
Taking the racket from the opponent, Murasakihara stood side by side with him in front of the net.
"real or fake?"
"Di Guang actually sent these two people?"
"Second-year Murasakihara Atsushi and Kuroko Tetsuya?!"
"These are the famous players from last year!!"
Seeing Murasakibara and Kuroko appear together, people were attracted by their presence.
In the impression, they thought that Diguang would continue to lead the new with the old as before, but they did not expect to throw out this strong combination in the first doubles.
Murasakihara Atsushi is known as the strongest defensive player in the country. He has a physique that surpasses his peers and possesses strong technical skills. As a result, although he rarely plays, he will definitely fail to score points once those two gestures appear. Case.
Kuroko Tetsuya, known as the "missing player", possesses skills that most tennis players do not have, and his degree of difficulty can be said to be unique in doubles, and he is also a famous doubles master.
Moreover, the appearance of Kuroko also showed many people an alternative way of playing tennis, which earned him high praise from the public.
"The opponent is serious."
Renzu pushed up his glasses and stood next to Atobe without much panic.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, the competition is not the place to decide."
Excluding other factors, Atobu didn't care who Di Guang chose to fight.
Originally, today was not the time for a decisive battle. He really didn't want to throw away everything at once.
"But it will be a lot of pressure for the two newcomers."
Turning his head to look at the two people who were about to go on stage, Renzu knew what would happen next.
Hochotaro and Hijiro
Both are freshmen in Hyotei, but because of their strength, they stood out from many first-years and got the position of the main selection.
"Wouldn't it be better to experience a strong national team in advance?"
Atobe didn't care about the mentality of the two newcomers. If they couldn't hold on, someone would naturally take their place.
In today's Ice Emperor, there are many replaceable personnel.
It would be easier if it was just because of one failure.
"Chotaro! Just fight with all your strength."
"Even if the result is not what you want..."
"Don't let me see you embarrassed."
When Shishido Ryo saw that a new guy he was optimistic about was going to play, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted.
With Teiko's lineup, even their seniors may not be able to win, so it's best to give the two newcomers some "patches" to prevent them from doubting their lives if they lose.
"Yes! Shishido-senpai."
"That guy Shishito, neither Yueto nor I have been so eager lately."
"He's quite close to a first-year brat."
Looking at this wonderful conversation, I couldn't bear to be surprised for a while, then I glanced at Xiang Riyueren who was sulking and bulging his mouth not far away and muttered.
"Sa, this is what is called having a new love."
"puff"
………………
"Please give me more advice! Senior."
Standing in front of the net, Houchotaro looked at the astonishingly tall Murasakibara in front of him and said politely.
"Ah, they are all first graders, but I won't show mercy."
After slightly lowering his head and glancing at the two people in front of him, Murasakihara yawned and then turned around.
"snort"
"The next one is the upper hand!"
At this moment, the unexpected words from the side made Murasakihara pause.
Wherever he looked, he saw Ri Jiruo looking at him with eagerness.
This newcomer looked like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and had no fear of Murasakibara.
"Fool."
Atobe, who was outside the court, couldn't help but cursed in a deep voice as he watched the performance of the two.
The game hasn't even started yet, but attention has already been drawn away.
Although he had no expectations for this match, Atobe at least hoped to perform well, instead of acting like an idiot who was led to a rhythm without even realizing it.
"I'm afraid this will be very miserable."
Himuro sat next to him and murmured as he looked at the huge difference in body size between the two parties.
"Hmph! No matter what, I have to maintain my status as a regular member."
"This is the first step to challenge him!"
Hijiruo stood on the baseline with the ball and was ready to serve, his tone full of expectations for the future.
Since the first day he saw Atobe, he vowed to complete the following tasks for him.
Even though the journey would be long, he believed he could do it after two years of junior high school before the senior entered high school.
"that."
"Um?"
But just as Hiyoshiwaka was about to send the ball out, Hochotaro on the side hesitated and spoke out.
"Did we forget something?"
"ha?"
Seeing that the meaning of what this man said was unclear, Rijiruo was stunned by him for a moment.
"Snapped!"
But then Hijiruo didn't pay attention, and instead hit the ball neatly. The route was quite tricky, passing through Murasakihara's waist and falling into the back field.
"Succeeded!"
Seeing that Murasakibara didn't make any move, Hijiruo was immediately overjoyed.
"boom!!"
But unexpectedly, the newly bounced tennis ball bounced back as if it hit a wall of air.
The ball flew up, passed through his cheek, and hit the barbed wire behind him.
"15-0!!"
