Wang Wangzhi starts from Sharingan

Chapter 280 The Fateful Showdown
soon.

As time passed, the sounds gradually died down and the crowds dispersed in the Ariake Sports Park.

The second competition day of the national competition came to a perfect end.

The four exciting games of groups A, B, C and D made the audience hooked and excited.

On the other hand, what attracted Sora Kitagawa and others' attention was the victory or defeat of groups C and D, as well as the results of the game.

In Group C, Shitenboji and Yamabuki Middle School compete for the top four places.

The final score was '3-1', '3' for Shitenhoji, and '1' for Yamabuki Middle School.

The only game Yamabuki Middle School won was the second doubles match.

The invincible samurai combination, Tachibana Ichiro and Miyamoto Takeshi, directly activated the synchronization state, beating the golden Koharu and Ichiji Yuji of Shitenhoji to tears.

It can be said that it was a sweep of the game, allowing countless spectators to once again witness the reputation of Yamabuki Middle School's doubles.

As for the other three games, Yamabuki Middle School was having a hard time.

In the third singles, Seishumi Sengoku met Kuranosuke Shiraishi. After a hard battle, he was beaten 6-3 by Perfect Tennis.

Of course, the 'Round Table Beat' that appeared in this game allowed countless spectators to witness the beautiful shooting star picture.

In the second singles and first doubles that followed, Kenya Ninzuzu and Gin Ishida defeated Minami Kentaro and Dongfang Masami, and Tetsuya Hara easily took out Kakikimaru, allowing Shitenbaoji to score three points directly, ending the game.

Under the huge disparity in strength, Qianshi Qingchun's strong signing luck can only lead Shanbuki Middle School to stop at the top eight in the country.

Well, no matter what, it is better than Rojia Middle School, which is one of the top [-] schools in the country.

In the final Group D, Yukimura also led the people of Rikkai to sweep and crush Nagoya Seitoku.

One by one, the foreign students were beaten by Sanada, Nioh, Yanagi Renji and others until they cried bitterly and fell into a daze.

With a clean '3-0', the momentum accumulated by Li Hai High School was no less than that of Seigaku who defeated Shishi Le.

At this point, the second knockout round of the national competition ends.

The top four in the country are freshly announced, Group A is Youth Academy, Group B is Hyotei Academy, Group C is Shitenhoji Temple, and Group D is Rikkai University Affiliated High School.

The semi-finals knockout round that will begin next Saturday is also a duel arranged by fate.

Youth Academy vs Hyotei Academy.

Tiantianbao Temple vs. Lihai University High School.

A fateful showdown to chase the national championship!

……

The entire national competition, with a total of four rounds, can be said to be divided into two stages.

Two weekends, the first two rounds and the last two rounds will be held respectively.

After the top eight knockout rounds are over, the top four teams will have five days to prepare for the final game.

Four into two, two into one.

Semifinals, finals.

What's very subtle is that among this year's top four teams in the country, only Hyotei Academy was last year's top four team. Among the remaining three teams, Rikkai University was the top eight team in the country, while Shitenhoji and Seigaku were completely incompetent. The entire Miracle Rising Team.

The situation throughout the competition year can be described as a shining light of miracle.

Time is both fast and slow.

Amid the expectations of countless people, a few days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the time has come to Friday, the preparation time left for the four teams has also come to the end.

……

Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka, Kansai.

Amidst the joy and laughter of the comedy culture, as the end of get out of class bell rang, the crowd suddenly surged.

After school + club time, isn’t it beautiful?

The tennis club located in the southwest corner is the most visited destination.

"Ahhh~~~"

"White Stone~White Stone~White Stone~~~"

"Xiu-chan~Xiu-chan~Xiu-chan~~~"

"Everyone, please cheer for tomorrow's game~~~"

"We will work hard to support you!!!"

……

With the arrival of supporters, in the boiling atmosphere, screams for Shiraishi and Osamu Watanabe resounded throughout the venue.

It’s no wonder that the most handsome boy, the ‘charming’ Shiraishi is so popular, but Osamu Watanabe~~~
Hmm~ The decadent style uncle... maybe there is a market for it?
In this world dominated by tennis, the upcoming semi-finals of the national competition naturally attract the most attention.

Not to mention the Shitenbao Temple where my team happened to be.

Each student turned into a fanatic and started their support.

"Damn~ Shiraishi is still so popular~~~"

"Obviously I am more handsome today, hum~~~"

Amidst the arrogant snort, Kenzu Kenya flipped up his hair and looked at Shiraishi Kuranosuke affectionately, full of resentment.

Bible, who was happily enjoying the cheers, was disturbed by a sudden sight, interrupting his happy state.

He looked at Kenya Ninzu with the same 'affectionate' look, propped up his chin, and said leisurely.

"You're still far from handsome, Qianye~"

We can discuss everything, except 'handsomeness'.

The elegant posture in the wind made Golden Koharu, who had been watching Shiraishi next to him, intoxicated.

"Ah~~Shiraishi~so handsome~~~"

"Damn Xiaochun!!! How dare you have an affair in front of me, be careful I flatter you!!!"

The 'shy' little fist had already begun to wave, and Yuji Ichiji, who was cosplaying the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, bared his teeth and claws viciously.

clap clap~~~
In the midst of the joyful play, a series of claps sounded, attracting everyone's attention and becoming the focus of the audience.

Taking a closer look, it was Osamu Watanabe who was walking leisurely.

Wearing a straw hat, a toothpick in his mouth, a cloak, a coat, slippers, stubble, and sleepy eyes, he is still the same unkempt... 'hidden master'!
And we happen to be at Tiantianbao Temple, and all we need now is a broom to be the peerless sweeping monk.

"coach!"

"good afternoon!"

"Xiaoxiu~"

"Ah~Xiu Xiu, you are so handsome today~~~"

Originally, it was a very normal afternoon greeting, even if it reached the point of 'little repair', it was still OK, but after the sweet admiration greeting of 'love', the atmosphere in the whole place was not so good.

quack~~~
The crow is not embarrassed, whoever is the protagonist is embarrassed.

Ping Shanzhi, who had caused all this, suddenly touched his head in confusion and said hesitantly.

"Hey~ isn't it funny?"

"Xiao Xiu? Xiu Xiu? Dear Xiu Xiu?"

Funny sniper, this time the funny ended in failure.

At this moment, Osamu Watanabe's voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ping Shan, Yuan Zhe."

"Ah~"

"Hmm~"

Facing everyone's gaze, Osamu Watanabe said.

"Tomorrow is the semi-finals with Rikkai University. Come over and discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's game."

"it is good."

"clear."

"Shiraishi...you are coming too."

In Shiraishi's sudden confusion, Osamu Watanabe called out his name.

"Others, train well and hurry up!"

"Everyone must have no regrets in tomorrow's game!"

"Yes! Coach!"

Golden Koharu, Ninzu Kenya, Koishikawa Kenjiro and others immediately shouted in response to Osamu Watanabe.

……

soon.

Activity Room.

Osamu Watanabe took the main seat above, and Yoshiyuki Hira, Tetsuya Hara, and Shiraishi sat on the left and right.

A pile of information was placed on the table. Seiichi Yukimura, Genichiro Sanada, Juzaburo Mori, Renji Yanagi, Masaharu Nioh...

Osamu Watanabe has already explained the relevant situation and analysis, which is why everyone has different expressions.

"coach……"

I want to speak, but I don't know how to say it.

In the end, Osamu Watanabe took the lead.

"Everyone pretty much understands the basic situation."

"Compared to Tatekai..."

After a moment of silence, Osamu Watanabe spoke quietly.

"Our Four Heavenly Treasures Temple is still too immature after all..."

As one of the members of the youth selection training coaching team, Osamu Watanabe is too aware of the strength of Seiichi Yukimura and others.

In terms of hard power, there is a gap between Shitenhoji Temple and Rikkai University.

Therefore.

Regarding tomorrow's semi-finals, Osamu Watanabe asked a choice.

"Tomorrow's semi-finals, will everyone choose to remain unchanged in response to the ever-changing situation, or... make dangerous moves..."

Faint words, deep eyes.

Osamu Watanabe's question caused the three people present to fall into deep thought.

……

at the same time.

Kanagawa Prefecture, Likai University Affiliated Middle School.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the Lihai Tennis Club was already in full swing of training.

And Lihai University's Big Three also gathered together, just like before, and began to prepare for the last two remaining matches of the National Competition.

Military advisor Liu Rener was still in charge, telling the intelligence of the other three teams.

"Qingxue, Ice Emperor, Tiantianbao Temple."

"If divided according to overall strength, it can be roughly divided into: Qingxue is greater than Tiantianbao Temple and is greater than Ice Emperor."

"There should be no surprises in the showdown in the top half."

"The probability of Qingxue's victory is over 90.00%."

As for what an accident is, it is naturally something like 'car accident when leaving home', 'sudden stomachache', 'drinking the latest generation dry juice by mistake', etc.

Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro, who knew Seigaku's strength quite well, also nodded slightly and agreed with Yanagi Renji's analysis.

Immediately, the topic came to the second half, namely Tiantianbao Temple vs. Lihai University Affiliated High School.

"Our opponent tomorrow is Sitian Baosi."

"Coach Osamu Watanabe has a very strong coaching ability. In order to win, Shitenhoji should make some changes to its formation."

With narrowed eyes, Liu Renji looked at Yukimura and Sanada.

"Yukimura!"

Both of them received Liu Renji's inquiry. There is a high probability that Tiantianbao Temple will change its formation, but what about Li Hai Da?
Under the gaze of Sanada and Yanagi Renji, Yukimura Seiichi spoke with a deep gaze.

"Tomorrow's game, I will play in the first game."

The first game, three singles...

"Yukimura, are you going to play three singles games?"

"Hmm~"

After an affirmative response, Yukimura Seiichi continued. "Sanada, you go and play singles one, and Mori-senpai will play singles two."

"Liu, this time it's still you and Nioh who are paired together."

While Liu Renji was thoughtful, Yukimura Seiichi finished all the arrangements.

With a hint of understanding, Liu Lianer nodded firmly.

"it is good."

"understood!"

Finally, it was Genichiro Sanada who nodded seriously.

……

Dusk passed and night fell.

A bright moon hangs high in the starry sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth, bringing warmth and glory to Tokyo.

Along with the flow of carriages and horses, the figures that had left before returned to the place called the beginning by the moonlight.

Hyotei Academy, Tennis Club.

crack~~~
The sound of the iron gate indicates the opening of the gate.

The sound in the silent night was so obvious that it instantly attracted the attention of everyone.

step, step, step~~~
In the crisp sound of footsteps, a figure crossed the gate, walked towards the court, and then saw a figure standing quietly on the tennis court.

Bass~
Under the moonlight, the two eyes met directly.

"You actually came."

"I didn't expect you to arrive first."

With smiles on their faces, the two people greeted each other.

"Haida..."

"Xiao Lin..."

That's right, these two are the only third-year candidates in the Hyotei Academy Tennis Club.

Looking at each other for an instant, both of them saw the complicated thoughts in each other's eyes.

The two third-year players, as the main senior candidates for Hyokui, were in a miserable state compared with other teams.

Failure after failure even made Kaida Kazuyama and Kobayashi Yuta think that...the two of them were already the biggest burden to the Hyokui...

——Without them!
——If only there were two more outstanding first-year students!

--if……

Under many ifs, can the Ice Emperor go further and have a better future...

But now, seeing the semifinals approaching, against Qingxue.

The pressure this extremely special battle brought to the two of them was unimaginably terrifying.

Therefore, following their own thoughts, Kaitian Kazuyama and Kobayashi Yuta followed their own feelings and came here.

This... Atobe defeated them one by one and climbed to the top of the Ice Emperor's Tennis Court!
"If the two of us can be more competitive..."

"Tomorrow's game..."

And just when the two of them were thinking wildly, two loud voices appeared, making Kaida Yishan and Kobayashi Yuta tremble.

"Kaida-senpai, Kobayashi-senpai, good evening."

"Companion, there are no ifs."

Looking along the sound, in his dull eyes were the two figures appearing on the stands.

"Hikaru, Shishido!"

"Why are you here too?"

However, before Higatake and Shishito Ryo could respond, an elegant Kansai accent suddenly appeared, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"It's not just them~"

bang bang bang~~~
miso miso miso ~~~
Amidst a series of sounds, lights lit up one after another.

In the dazzling light, two figures appeared shiningly.

"Hmm~ What are you doing!"

"Are you ready to reminisce about my heroic appearance back then? Well~~~"

"minister!"

"The Department of Traces!"

"Minister Ajibu!"

Amid everyone's exclamations, Mr. Atobe and Kansai Wolf Ninja Yushi appeared with an elegant smile.

At this time, a somewhat lazy sound of sleep sounded faintly.

"Hey~ it's dawn, is it so fast?"

Obviously, Jirou Akutagawa, who was half asleep, could no longer understand the situation.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Cilang, didn't you come here on your own?"

Some helpless words spit out from Taki Oginosuke's mouth.

After some calls, Akutagawa Jirou, who was almost awake for three minutes, and everyone looked straight in the direction of Atobe.

huh~~~
The night wind made a noise.

In the brightly lit tennis court, everyone looks at each other from a distance.

Amid the complicated expressions of everyone watching, Atobu took a step forward and stretched out his hand towards the starry sky.

Da~Dang~~~
With a crisp snap of his fingers, Atobe's noble face looked around slightly.

A confident smile blooms in an instant.

"Tomorrow's game, victory will belong to the Ice Emperor!"

"It will belong to me!"

Boom~
In an instant, with the sonorous words flying, petals burst out from nowhere and began to fly and scatter.

Against the backdrop of Atobe's speech, it is extremely touching.

And under the command of Uncle Atobe, the cheerleaders appeared out of nowhere and started shouting for support.

"Atobe! Atobe! Victory belongs to Atobe!"

"The Ice Empress must win!"

"The Ice Empress must win!"

"The Ice Empress must win!"

……

And while the four teams were preparing fiercely for the battle, the morning sun came the next day.

Time, Saturday, August 27th, morning.

With a refreshing cool breeze blowing, the door of Beichuan's house slowly opened.

It was still Igawa Ryuichi who was driving.

Beside the car, Kitagawa Sora was saying goodbye to Kitagawa Snow.

"Sister, I'll go over then."

"Well, come on for the game, Xiao Kong."

Gentle hands stretched out in front of Kitagawa Sora, combing his hair, straightening his collar, and smoothing out the wrinkles.

"Okay, my handsome little Sora~"

"Today is the semi-final against Hyokui, right, and tomorrow is the final?"

"Well, yes, there is a high probability of playing in the finals with Li Hai."

Beichuan Kong responded softly and spoke to Beichuan Xue.

"Okay, I will arrange the work of the group today, and I will be there to cheer you on tomorrow."

"My family Xiaokong's first national championship, you can't miss it."

The gentle smile almost melted Beichuan Kong.

Finally, amid Kitagawa Yuki's "Wish you good luck in martial arts", Kitagawa Sora got into the car and headed towards Ariake Sports Park.

……

wow~~~
"Qingxue, invincible!"

"Victory belongs to the Ice Empress!"

"Lihai is big, we must win!"

"Tiantianbao Temple, the winner is the king!"

As time passed, the increasingly noisy Ariake Sports Park began to echo with the sounds of cheering for the four teams.

There are cheerleaders from their respective schools, as well as audience supporters gained through the battle.

In addition to these cheers and support, most of the tennis spectators came simply for the game.

Whoever can give a wonderful game will win their applause.

And if anyone can shine, he might be able to gain their support directly.

Besides.

There are also tennis reporters like Inoue Mamoru and Kishihisa, as well as many teams that still attended the game after being defeated and eliminated.

Shishile Middle School, Rokkaku Middle School, Yamabuki Middle School, Ryukoku Academy, Makinofuji Middle School...

Even Nagoya Seitoku had people present, presumably to see if Rikkai High School, which had given them the taste of complete defeat, could achieve their wish today and advance to the finals.

As for most middle school teams, in addition to caring about beating their own team, another thing they probably have in common is that they want to witness the birth of a national champion.

……

quickly,

As time goes to twelve o'clock.

With the crowd surging, everyone rushed to the competition venue they wanted to watch.

East Area A, Court No. [-], Youth Academy vs. Hyotei Academy.

Area C of the West, Court No. [-], Shitenhoji vs. Tatekai University.

Just like Inoue Mamoru, after asking Kishiku to rush to Area C for competition materials, he set off and ran wildly to his old place, the No. [-] court in Area A occupied by Seigaku.

As someone closely related to Qingxue, seeing that Qingxue's miraculous journey is about to reach its end, how could he be absent from Inoue Mamoru.

soon.

Stadium No. [-] in Area A was packed with people.

The area reserved by the organizing committee in the front row was also filled in one after another.

The Makinodo people led by Matsudaira Chiao, the Shishigaku people led by Fuwa Tetsuto, the Ryukoku Academy people led by Shuten Ryuuji...

……

soon.

With the referee in place.

Under the loudspeaker announcement of the organizing committee, the semi-finals of the top four, Qingxue vs. Ice King, officially began.

"duo~~~"

"Next, the third round of knockout rounds and the semi-finals of the top four of this national competition will be held."

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Representative Seishen Academy will face the Tokyo Metropolitan Representative Hyotei Academy."

"Players from both sides are invited to come on stage for a pre-match ceremony."

The civil war between two Tokyo metropolitan teams sounds awesome.

Of course, this is very impressive, probably just the feeling of people in the Kanto tennis community.

……

In an instant.

Along with the announcement on the radio, the howling wind blew straight up.

The two teams that had been preparing in the rest areas on the left and right, looked at each other, the fire of fighting, intertwined and collided.

The fateful showdown has begun.
