"This set was won by Teimitsu Minoru Reio."
"score."
"6-0!"
"What a cruel picture."
"Crack!"
Recording the victory, Shiba Saori looked at her opponent who had lost his fighting spirit and sympathized.
"This is the age of miracles"
"It was also a dark age"
"Everything has two sides, that's what it says."
Inoue did not have such pessimistic thoughts. In the past two years, he had witnessed countless players being defeated by strong schools, and some of them even gave up tennis.
He also once interviewed players who were rivals from powerful schools.
(How could a monster like that win?)
(Getting one point is probably the best picture, right?)
(Can't win at all)
The heavy feeling of falling into an abyss and being unable to climb out has entangled the hearts of those players.
Teikou, Seigaku, Hyōtei, Tatekai Dai, and Yamabuki are as powerful as a nightmare.
Even if we take Hyotei's Shido, Etakuto, and Yamabuki's Masami Higashikami, and Kentaro Minami, they may not be as good as stronger people, but they are still strong enough for ordinary players.
This year, even the second-year Tanaka brothers relied on the twins' tacit understanding to make a name for themselves.
You can't even get past this step, let alone meet those players at the top.
It is not incomprehensible to have a broken mentality.
Precisely because he has tasted too much, Inoue believes that this is the best of times and the worst of times.
The good thing is that miraculous geniuses show up in droves
The bad thing is that ordinary players will fall into a bottomless hole in this era and be unable to recover.
As a bystander, Inoue couldn't criticize anything.
After all, in his opinion, this is undoubtedly a good thing.
This proves that the neon tennis world is on the rise, and maybe we will see the birth of legends like Nanjiro in the future.
They can do it.
Inoue didn't know when he had decided on this matter.
Because there has never been a moment when the stars shone so brightly.
Even Nanjiro himself was very envious of this era and felt that he had missed the best time more than once.
"The next step is a battle between four powerful schools."
Shiba Saori didn't think much about it, but looked back at the schedule and said.
"Emperor of Light vs. Ice Emperor"
"Yamabuki versus Qingxue"
"Last year's champions and runners-up were put aside even as seeded teams."
“Really a very personal arrangement”
As the champion and runner-up, they have basically lost the "ability" to draw lots. They are stuck in the corresponding position and can only wait for someone to challenge.
But even so, there is still a lot to watch in this competition.
…………
"Will it be the Ice King again tomorrow?"
"It's so rare."
"Obviously we only played against them in the national competition last year."
Kise was wearing a coat, looking at the schedule, and said with a sigh.
"Huang Zai, you don't know how to appear, why are you pretending to be a veteran?"
Murasakihara's tall body stood behind him. What was rare was that he didn't eat snacks at this time.
"Little Murasakibara, you don't understand this."
"If I really want to tell you, I didn't appear in last year's final!"
Looking back at Murasakibara, Kise said unconvinced.
You must know that playing in a stadium that attracts everyone's attention can make people's emotions very high.
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense there."
Qingfeng looked at the two people who were still chatting, and then reminded them with his ears.
Neither Akashi, the minister, nor Shirazu, the deputy minister, came today.
So this time we just let Reiko lead the team.
"Hey, hey, hey, come right away."
Without further arguing with Murasakibara, Kise packed up his things and left with the team together with Murasakibara.
"Um?"
But just as they all left the tennis court and walked outside, Hyokui's personnel also walked towards them.
"Sure enough, the generals don't care about each other."
Renzu stood next to Tachibana, pushed up his glasses, looked at Aomine and others directly in front of him and said.
Atobe didn't come to their game today either.
"If they come to such a small scene, there will be a problem."
Midorima didn't care when he discovered that Atobe was not there. In fact, with the tacit consent of the major schools, it didn't matter whether ministers and deputy ministers were present, as they wouldn't be participating in the game anyway.
This is already an accepted rule
Everyone finally had the opportunity to practice and train, so as not to ruin the atmosphere.
After all, once someone doesn't follow the rules, it might cause a big commotion, causing the juniors to sit on the bench and watch the show.
To give an inappropriate example, if all schools were to recruit third-year players for the Dujia Competition and the Kanto Competition, they would basically have no chance to play.
His own younger generation also turned off.
This method of killing a thousand enemies and damaging oneself by five hundred would definitely not agree with each other.
They can't have a good time in the third grade and not give any chance to their first and second grade juniors, right?
Then wouldn’t it be embarrassing for the juniors who have less experience in next year’s competition?
Just to avoid this situation, the third graders will not interfere in the Metropolitan Competition and the Kanto Competition.
Unless they play doubles, they plan to have first and second grade juniors play singles.
As for what will happen in the end?
That's not considered.
It’s not like you can’t afford to lose in any major competition or the Kanto Competition. As long as you ensure the right to participate in the national competition, it doesn’t matter whether you are the champion or not.
It can only be said that the training of the past three years has completely improved their horizons.
"How about it, are you interested in chatting about tomorrow's matchup?"
Renzou faced forward, and then invited.
"Thank you for the invitation, senior, but it's not necessary."
"We will have our own plans."
Coming out from behind Aomine, Aida Reiko smiled and responded politely.
"Yeah?"
"It seems that he is very confident in his juniors."
Glancing at Kagami and Himuro who had walked to the side to chat, Renzu didn't care.
After all, unless players like Kagami and Himuro have a "karma", they will not deliberately set up a battle.
Highlight a random thing and hit whoever comes against you.
"Then let's wait and see tomorrow's game."
………………
"Hey, Tezuka, Fuji, are you going to leave tomorrow?"
On the other side, Akutsu, wearing a monk's uniform, blocked Seigaku who was about to leave and asked straight to the point.
Although he was speaking in a calm tone, he could still feel an inexplicable pressure.
"Won't."
"What do you think? There is no benefit at all if we fight now, right?"
Compared to Tezuka's brief response, Fuji had a little more to say.
He also wanted to fight against a master like Akutsu, but definitely not now.
There are very few opportunities for juniors to play. Once they are taken up, it may affect their growth.
This is too much of a loss.
"Hmph, no matter what, I will definitely have to find you for the Kanto Tournament!"
Looking at Akutsu who turned around and left, everyone else felt the seriousness in his words.
"Now, I have to take it even if I don't want to."
"It would be nice if the Kanto Tournament could be held at a different time."
