"boom!!"
"competition is over!!"
Completely seeing through Nioh's movements, Kise won the ball with a perfect double imitation.
"is that a lie."
"You actually imitated two out-of-standard players at the same time?"
Nioh took off the phantom, looked at the panting Kise blankly, and said in astonishment.
Akashi + Shirazu
This kind of fighting method combining the strength of two people is something Nioh cannot do no matter what.
That's why he looked extremely surprised when he saw Kise do it.
Of course, I also knew at first that Kise could achieve double imitation by relying on selfless plus imitation.
But that's just an ordinary form after all
But now he can actually perform double imitation while imitating perfectly.
That would seem extremely scary.
This means that Kise's ceiling is horribly high.
"Tsk, the pressure will indeed be much greater."
Barely able to stand still, Kise squatted on the ground on one knee for a moment, not even holding the racket.
A perfect double imitation.
If he really wanted to talk, it wouldn't be his first attempt.
But this was the first time it was actually used in a game, and the difficulty was even higher than when he tested it.
On the one hand, he had to imitate Akashi's "eyes", and on the other hand, he had to imitate Shirazu's strength, speed, and skills.
This multi-tasking approach almost drained his mental energy and what little physical strength he had.
"It's still far from being truly applicable."
With Kasamatsu's help, Kise stood up slowly, and then spoke.
"You always surprise people."
"I won't be fooled next time."
Kise's methods really made Niou find it difficult to fight against him. He could cope with it for a while just by imitating it perfectly, but if it continued, he would eventually fall first.
But once Kise activated the perfect double imitation, Niou couldn't stop him at all.
If you think about it carefully, the initial plan to compete for victory with a 4-4 draw was too careless.
If I had known this, it would be better to fight Kise from the beginning and leave Wakato and Kasamatsu to play "singles", then the chance of winning might be greater.
"Hey, I'm better this time."
Seeing Nioh's reaction, Kise looked proud.
There are not many opportunities to deceive this fraudster.
"Ah"
"ha"
Looking at each other and smiling, the two of them did not mind the outcome of the incident, but left the venue with the help of their juniors.
"Sorry, Sanada."
"It seems I can't give you a definite chance to play."
As soon as he returned to the team, Nioh glanced sideways at Yukimura who was sitting on the chair, and then looked at the silent Sanada and spoke.
"You haven't trained enough!"
Lowering the brim of his hat, Sanada didn't blame anything, but said in a deep voice.
In this match, Sanada is still playing No. 2 singles.
With two consecutive losses in doubles, the outcome of three singles is crucial.
Normally, they are full of confidence in the personnel selected for this position.
Yukimura Seiichi!
As one of the same legendary ministers in Kanto, there is no doubt about his strength.
Unfortunately, it is unknown whether he can still perform at his previous level despite being plagued by illness.
According to Yanagi Renji's observation, Yukimura's body is in a state of decline. Once the disease occurs, he may not be able to stand still.
Therefore, if the opponent really lets Akashi play in this No. 3 singles match, it will be full of unknowns.
"I hope I can persist until the end."
Standing up from the chair and seeing the silence of his teammates, Yukimura didn't pay attention, but picked up the racket and touched it with a nostalgic look.
This showdown
Whether he can let it go with peace of mind depends on the answer he gets after the confrontation.
"Are you going to be serious?"
"Do you think I'm just going to have fun?"
In response to Bai Jin's question, Akashi glanced at him and said coldly.
"No, pretend I didn't say that."
"But Yukimura, he will not give up easily."
We still don’t know what kind of strength Yukimura can exert now, and Shirazu can only judge from his character that he will not give up.
"I know that's why I'm sending him to rest in peace."
As a strong enemy and minister, Akashi naturally knows the horror of "disease".
If it were anyone else, he might just watch indifferently, but Yukimura's words made him unable to turn a blind eye.
Yukimura Seiichi
Not a player who would stop here.
He wants to inspire the opponent's fighting spirit and let him "live" with a stronger will.
"real or fake?"
"Singles No. 3."
“He’s actually a minister from both sides?!”
Seeing Akashi and Yukimura walk to the field together, the people watching the game were excited.
They never expected to see such an amazing scene.
It was obviously only the semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament, but we could see the legendary minister playing against each other in the third singles position.
Just thinking about it made their brains tremble.
"Let me see what you have accomplished in the past six months."
After shaking hands with each other, Akashi looked at Yukimura in front of him and said bluntly.
"You won't be disappointed"
Yukimura smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed, and then responded.
The two turned to each other and walked to their seats.
"Akaashi."
With the starting right in hand, Yukimura stared at Akashi not far away, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"Look!"
"That is."
"Eyes of brilliance!! You are serious from the beginning!"
Compared to the plain Yukimura, Akashi is more serious here.
The power of the eyes and talents has been activated, and then begins to read the future.
"ha!"
"Snapped!"
Without fear, Yukimura hit the ball immediately.
"boom!!"
Twisting his body and swinging the racket with his shoulder, Akashi hit back hard.
"Crack!"
Yukimura ran to the corner and hit the tennis ball with a backhand volley.
"Boom"
But Akashi, as if he had expected it, had already rushed to the tennis ball, stretched out his racket and picked the ball over with a slight touch.
"Ah ah!"
Sprinting forward, after the ball passed the net, Yukimura smashed the ball from top to bottom.
The ball passed through Akashi's left hand and flew towards the corner.
"Yeah! Scored!"
Kirihara looked at the ball that was about to hit the ground and already imagined scoring.
"boom!!"
"0-15!!"
But the reality was beyond his expectation. Akashi quickly turned his back, intercepted the falling smash ball with a smoother posture, and then hit the backhand ball to win the point.
"Can we catch up with that?"
"Maybe it's all in the future he sees."
"If it can't be cracked, there will be no chance of reversal."
Compared to Kirihara's unbearable look, Yanagi Renji and the others were used to it.
If anyone knows the "future" best, it is undoubtedly Diguang's minister.
A player who uses his eyes and talents to the limit
Akashi Seijuro!
"Yukimura."
Sanada looked at his friend who was fighting alone, and his hands tightened unconsciously.
Even he is not too calm at the moment.
