The match between Tatekai Dai and Higa Naka came to an end, which also heralded the emergence of the top four.
Teiko
Qingxue
ice King
Li Hai Da.
Last year, Shitenbao Temple managed to gain some face, but this year the top four schools in Kanto ranked directly among the top four without any suspense.
Yamabuki, Shitenhoji, and Higa were all blocked from the top eight positions.
And talking about this year's division is also very interesting.
Last year's champion and runner-up will collide in advance.
This means that whether it is Teikou Victory or Qingxue Victory, one school will have worse results than last year.
On the other hand, on Hyotei and Tatekai's side, no matter who loses or wins, there is no loss.
"There will definitely be changes in Qingxue's arrangements."
"It depends on what they think."
Momoi slapped a formation list on the table with a helpless tone.
"They probably don't have anyone who wants to put an end to it."
"Of course you don't have to be as nervous as last year."
Shirazu agreed with Momoi this time, not to mention that this year's Qingxue lacked Ryuya, and the loopholes were quite obvious.
Just saying that their own high-end combat power is incomparable to Di Guang.
Although it is just the lack of a strong singles player, it is a fatal gap in this kind of strong confrontation.
"So it depends on what Akashi-kun thinks."
"Do you just use the no-brainer method that Xiaobai said to set up the formation, or is it something else?"
Momoi asked, looking at Akashi who was sitting on a chair with his elbows on the table and his chin on his hands.
"Well, in that case we can surely seal the victory quickly."
"But by the same token, other people won't have a chance to play."
Akashi also knew what Momoi's "brainless formation formation" was.
That is to directly single three Akashi, double two Kuroko with any second-year main selection, and single two to hold the line and choose Shiratsu.
This kind of lineup can basically dominate any school.
Because the intensity is mindlessly high, it also eliminates any bells and whistles.
Unless someone can break through Akaashi and Kuroko's doubles in singles, it will be an unstoppable lineup.
Three games can easily determine the outcome.
For Di Guang, this is the most trouble-free and labor-saving approach.
But there is also a problem, that is, except for the four of them, there is no room for others to appear.
With a guarantee, Akashi didn't want to be so utilitarian.
After all, it's not the same situation as last year.
"You decide for yourself."
"Whether it's to grab the first three games, or if you want others to fight Qingxue, I think it's okay."
"After all, you and I plus Heizi in a doubles match will never lose."
He didn't care about how to set up the formation. From Shirazu's point of view, he, Akashi and Kuroko had already secured three victories.
Even if someone gets blown out in the remaining two games, it doesn't matter, they will secure the final victory.
If they didn't play so utilitarian and didn't grab the first three games, Momoi and Reiko wouldn't have to make any preparations.
"so be it"
After pondering for a while, Akashi knew of course Di Guang's situation. He picked up his pen and started filling out the blank participation form.
"It seems that everyone has no time to spare."
In the evening, Fuji looked at the few people still staying in the tennis club and said.
"Oh, Fuji, aren't you the same?"
Kikumaru was waving his racket boredly, looking very energetic.
"After all, we have to compete with Di Guang again tomorrow."
"I don't know what will happen yet."
Dashi also had a rare feeling of trembling. Since training last year, he has rarely felt this kind of eagerness to try.
But when he had to face Teiko again, he was just as happy as Kikumaru.
"But, what will happen? We can only watch the first scene tomorrow, right?"
Kawamura Takashi rubbed his sore shoulders and then said.
"Tezuka has already decided the order of the matches. I think the risk is actually quite high."
"But if Di Guang really comes along, we might as well fight for it."
Inui Sadaharu looked at the competition schedule drawn up in his hand and did not question Tezuka's judgment.
In his opinion, Qingxue had no choice.
Once Diguang grabs the first three games, the possibility of victory is basically slim.
There is no way, Teikou has too many powerful personnel. Not to mention Shirazu and Akashi, everyone else has a strength level above the national level, and some of them can even briefly burst into world-class strength.
On the contrary, the experts on their side are Tezuka, Fuji, and Oishi Kikumaru in doubles.
Although Inui Sadaharu and Kawamura Takashi also have strength, they may not necessarily have an advantage over God's group.
"Don't be so nervous, just respond with all your strength."
"As Nanjiro-senpai said, our current game is not just about victory."
“Enjoying the fun that tennis brings is one of them.”
Tezuka looked at the night sky and said to several people.
Different from the concept of the main drama, under Nanjiro's education, he paid more attention to personal feelings.
After all, they already won the national runner-up last year, and were just one step away from the championship. In terms of performance alone, they were already the best generation among all youth students.
It would be good if they can go further next, but if they can't, no one can blame them as long as they try their best.
Just like Nanjiro once told them, they are only in junior high school now and can play freely without having to bear too many responsibilities.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
"tomorrow."
"Emperor's Light!!"
"Emperor's Light!!"
"Qingxue!!"
"Qingxue!!"
The next morning, some time before the start of the game, there were already loud shouts in the venue.
The sounds of cheerleaders on both sides filled the surrounding area, causing people to marvel.
"Ah hum, we can get it done today."
Atobe led the Hyokui people to sit in the best position. This place was specially prepared for the teams entering the top four, and the view was very wide.
At the end of the quarter-finals, the semi-finals have moved from the outdoors to the real conference venue.
This place can accommodate far more people than the outside arena, and there are even various comfortable stands specially prepared.
"The treatment here is really good, and there's also a refrigerator."
Himuro took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator next to him and sighed.
He had never imagined that the scene of a national competition would be like a high-class banquet.
Although it is far away from the city, the shopping street outside is still bustling.
Because the number of people attracted by the national competition is increasing year by year.
Especially after this group of junior high school students turned on the strange "special effects mechanism", more and more people became interested in tennis.
Just like today's primary school students say, "I want to play tennis too, with special effects like explosions. It's so cool!"
At some point, the audience's vision for the game became higher.
It seems that they didn't feel it was exciting enough without some "special effects".
It can only be said that the environment shapes the world.
