Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 93 The King's Teacher (Fifth Watch)

The next day.

The number of people at Ariake Tennis Forest Park for the finals of the Tokyo Kanto Competition was even greater.

The final king of Kanto will decide the outcome between Bingdi and Lihaida.

Early in the morning, the main candidates of Qingxue had gathered in the park.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, Yamato Yudai, Fuji Shusuke, Akutsujin, Inui Sadharu, Oishi, Kikumaru, Kawamura...

"There are so many people in the finals, ah... Dashi, if we didn't lose in the match against Bingdi before, wouldn't it be us Qingxue who are standing here now."

Looking at the tennis court surrounded by groups, Kikumaru said unwillingly.

In the match between them and the ice emperor, the shortcomings of doubles were fully exposed. Even Kikumaru, who was optimistic by nature, held his breath.

"There will be, if it doesn't work this time, it will be next time, and we still have a national competition to prepare."

Tezuka's eyes flashed and he said with certainty.

Looking at his firm back, several people were convinced.

Tezuka, who was walking at the front, shook his hands gently. Now he has achieved Yamato Yudai's goal and entered the national competition.

Then the next step is whether he can lead Qingxue to a higher mountain.

……

The venue of the Kanto Competition is already crowded with people as the competition time approaches.

The finals of the Kanto Competition were regarded as a somewhat standard competition in the eyes of many people.

Therefore, it also attracts many tennis enthusiasts and tennis reporters.

These people got together and predicted who would win this year's championship.

"Who do you think will be the champion of this year's Kanto Conference?"

"Of course it's Hyokui. There are too many first-year students at Lihai University High School. Although they are indeed powerful, this is the finals after all, and Hyōtei is not bad either."

"Yes, the more critical moments of the competition, the more experience will be tested. I guess Tachikai Taiga may be a little unsure."

"Hmph, what are you talking about, Li Haida hasn't lost a single game since the beginning, Ice Empress? It's far behind."

As the topic arose, everyone started whispering.

It’s not too big a deal to watch the excitement, and gossip is always fun to hear.

"The champions of the Kanto Competition and the subsequent national competitions are all Li Haida, and everyone else will only become our defeat."

At this moment, a group of people in yellow uniforms appeared, and the cold voice of the leader overwhelmed all discussions.

"Ok?"

The people who were discussing were immediately startled. It was unclear whether they appeared too suddenly or because their aura was too fierce.

The person who spoke was none other than Genichiro Sanada, Li Hai's deputy director.

One of the final teams, Li Haida.

Arrived!

"Sanada!"

Genichiro Sanada's serious and domineering words made these people stutter in fright.

"Huh? Sanada, you made such a blatant announcement, you didn't take me seriously. Huh huh~"

Just when the situation was at a standstill, a somewhat frivolous voice came, which offset Sanada's momentum, diverted everyone's attention, and rescued everyone who was suppressed by him.

When they saw the person coming, they immediately knew that Hyōtei Atobe Keigo was here too.

"Atobe, Hyokui is no match for us. Tatekai is here just to win."

Sanada looked at Atobe and said seriously.

"So confident? Sanada, you will definitely kneel before my magnificent skills."

Atobe approached Sanada and looked at each other. Then Atobe focused on Yukimura Seiichi, and then stretched out his hand.

"It's our first meeting, Keigo Atobe, Head of the Hyotei Tennis Club."

"Hehe, Seiichi Yukimura, head of the Tachikai Tennis Club."

Holding hands, the spiritual confrontation has begun.

"See you on the field, I hope Ice Empress can bring us some surprises..."

After shaking hands, they let go, and Yukimura said something when he led everyone away.

"Oh, Son of God, Seiichi Yukimura..."

With the rise of Tatekai, Yukimura Seiichi's terrifying tennis and the tennis that deprives people of their five senses gradually became known. It was also at this time that the name of the Son of God began to be called.

Atobe was very dissatisfied with this, and entered his resting area with Hyotei's main selection.

After the referee checked the information and personnel, the game started on time.

"Next, the finals of this Kanto competition will begin soon."

"Heidei Gakuen in Tokyo, against Kanagawa Tachikai University Affiliated High School."

As soon as the announcement on the court ended, the deafening cheerleaders cheered outside the court.

"Ice Empress! The winner is Ice Empress!"

……

"Always victorious, Li Haida, hey!"

……

The rhythmic cheers of the two teams came one after another, and the entire stadium seemed to tremble in a huge sound wave.

"This... is too exaggerated!"

Sengoku from Yamabuki also came here with his team members, and he couldn't help but be speechless when he saw such an outpouring of support.

This kind of momentum and team is really not comparable to other schools.

This is the foundation of the old and powerful.

"Really strong..."

On the other side, even everyone in Qingxue who was watching the game off the field felt this invisible momentum.

"Next, the doubles match for No. [-] is about to begin."

"Hyotei Academy's Ryo Anato and Taki Oginosuke will face Rikkai University Affiliated High School Mitsuya Akuto and Yanagi Renji."

"Players from both sides enter the arena."

"The Ice Emperor's doubles have changed again..."

Mitsuya, who had already warmed up, stood up, took off his outer uniform, and glanced at the two players on the opposite field, his eyes sparkling.

According to the information he collected, in the more than a dozen games of the ice emperor from the regional preliminaries to the Kanto finals, the doubles of the ice emperor are usually played by Ryo Uredo and Kohidake.

Didn't expect to adopt a change in the first game of the final?
Mitsuya took a deep look at the man in a luxurious burgundy suit on the Hyotei coaching bench.

"Is this a special tactic of the Ice Emperor, or was he trying to deceive others?"

Mitsuya pushed his glasses, and he, who is deeply involved in the field of data, is vigilant against all changes.

"Or could it be that the Ice Emperor is going all out and preparing for a dangerous move?"

"It's a pity that the information collected is too little. Both the main force and the coach of Ice Emperor are newcomers."

Mitsuya is also a little helpless about this, there are too many freshmen who are taking the lead this year.

However, although he didn't collect much data, he didn't panic much, and he was paired with Liu Lian Er who he taught...

"Let's go, Renji. This scene should be the last one I teach you. Remember to watch it carefully and understand it well."

"Yes, Brother Yajiudou!"

……

Swish!
Mitsuya lifted the tennis ball with a deliberate lob, and the tennis ball spun in the air, and was then dunked hard by Ryo Anado, who was ready to go.

boom!
A yellow light beam crossed the half court and approached the right angle corner of Liu Lian's second serve line.

"Lian Er, remember to use the data I gave you!"

"Tempting the lob, the possibility of the opponent smashing 98%, the speed of the tennis ball is 193, the deflection is 23 degrees to the left, and there is a weak horizontal rotation..."

The moment Anato Ryo made his move, each parameter of tennis was fed back into Liu Renji's mind from the opposite side.

Under the data model established in advance by Mitsugu, there is no secret in his eyes about the next move of the two ice emperors.

Tread...  

With a steady pace, Liu Lian appeared exactly where the tennis ball landed.

Bang!
The smashing ball, which looked astonishingly fast, was directly blocked by him.

At the same time, his eyes kept scanning the two people opposite him.

"The return ball misses the left, and there is a 75% probability that he will not score. Ryo's amazing explosive power will catch up with this ball."

Then the net faced everything down, and he hit a clever chip to the left of Ryo Adoto in the backcourt.

But just as he expected, Ryo Anato caught up with the ball and successfully fought back again.

"However, due to the height of this ball, Brother Yajiudou's probability of successful smash is 86% and 98% respectively."

Liu Renji watched the tennis ball fly across the center line again and called softly.

"Brother Ajiudou!"

"Oh!"

Mitsugu leaped high in front of the net and scored an instant with a powerful smash.

"Game, Lihai University, 3-2."

……

tread!
Anato Ryo violently leaned forward and did not control himself to stop at all. His body had completely lost its center of gravity, but he still carried out the volley.

Bang!
The tennis ball flew and hit the unguarded corner on the opposite side.

However, before the tennis ball hits the ground.

"The probability of catching up and hitting a diagonal kick is 90%, and the probability of scoring on a counterattack is 100%."

boom!
Mitsuya's figure appeared here at some point, and as his words fell, a vertical racket accurately intercepted him.

Whoosh!
With a superb interception and volley, the tennis ball bounced high and flew out of the court after falling quickly on the Ice Emperor's court.

"Game, Lihai won big, the score is 6-2."

"Snapped!"

Mitsugu and Liu Lianer clapped each other's hands, expressing the joy in their hearts.

"Lian Er, you did a good job!"

"Brother Yajiudou taught me well."

The two walked to the rest area talking and laughing, and Li Haida won the doubles match without any effort.

And the fact is indeed the case, if it wasn't for Mitsugu who wanted to train Liu Lian'er and gave him a lot of opportunities for Liu Lian'er to collect data.

The game will only end sooner.

"These two guys just now..."

On the sidelines of Ice Empress, Atobu's eyelids are drooping, his right palm is placed on his face, and one eye is only looking at Mitsugu and Liulian through the gap between his fingers.

From the beginning of the game, he noticed something was wrong.

Ryo Anato and Taki struggled very much, and Renji Yanagi and the third-year Mitsuya returned the ball very strangely.

There was obviously no particularly tricky maneuvering, nor was there any very powerful hitting, but Ryo Anato and Taki were mobilized at the same time, as if they were being manipulated.

"What exactly is this means?"

Atobe looked at the two young men opposite who had finished their work and had calm expressions, and frowned.

At this time, Sakaki Taro left the coaching bench and came to the front of the Hyotei main selection.

"Liu Lianer, a first-year freshman in the High School Affiliated to Lihai University this year, an all-around player, best at data intelligence tennis."

"Mitsuya Yakuto, a third grader in the High School Affiliated to Lihai University, an all-around player, is also good at data tennis, and his data tennis is even stronger!"

Later, Sakaki Taro explained the form of data tennis.

This was an eye-opener for the first-year candidates of Hyokui.

……

"Let's start the doubles one game."

"Hyotei Academy Ninzu Yushi and Mukahi Gakuto VS Tatekai University Affiliated High School Nio Masaharu and Marui Bunta."

"Please enter the contestants from both sides."

"Renzu, the outcome of this battle lies in your hands..."

In the Hyotei waiting area, Atobe stared at Ninzu's back with solemn eyes.

They had to win a doubles game, otherwise, judging from the strength they showed now, Li Haida was indeed too strong.

Guess before the game, the ice emperor wins.

"The game begins, Hyotei Academy Ninzu Yushi and Hidakuto serve the ball."

Snapped!
Snapped!
Slapping the tennis ball in his hand, he endured enough to adjust his breathing, and glanced lightly at the opposite station.

There is no need for Atobu to remind him, he is also very clear that the outcome of the doubles match is the real core of their tactics.

He must take it!
Swish!
Recalling the appearance when Atobe played against him last night, Ren Zuo firmly believed in it, and threw the tennis ball upward with his left hand.

Then, he slightly bent his knees, lightly padded his feet, jumped up sharply, stretched his shoulder blades, raised his arms, and turned his elbows inward to hit the ball.

The moment the racket hits the tennis ball, use the distance stretched by your elbow to twist forcefully inward.

boom!
The tennis ball flew toward Marui Bunta's half of the court with a strong impact.

"Oh...that's really a terrifying serve. He is worthy of being the second most popular figure in the Ice Emperor, Ninzu Yushi."

After blowing the bubble gum in his mouth, Marui Bunta's eyes lit up.

He saw through Renzu's serve which contained a special technique of exerting force.

"Nice serve, but such a powerful serve doesn't work for me."

Marui Fumta chuckled lightly, and the space between the two steps came before the landing point.

boom!
The moment the tennis ball just bounced off the ground, a shadow of a racket appeared from behind the tennis ball.

Marui Bunta took over Shinobu's powerful serve very easily and freely.

"It doesn't work... Marui Bunta is also a powerful guy..."

Seeing that the serve was easily caught, Ninzuzu was slightly touched. This is a skill he and Atobe learned after practicing for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the person who opposed Haida used it for the first time, and it was easily cracked.

"Could it be that in the opponent's team, people with the same strength as Atobe often help him feed the ball?"

The tentative countermeasures didn't work, and Renzu had some thoughts in his heart.

"However, just fighting back is nothing..."

Renzu's expression remained unchanged, and he had already thought about everything in his mind. Xiang Riyueren in front of him had already somersaulted into the sky.

"It's useless, it's useless!"

Seeing Marui Bunta fight back, Xiang Riyue rushed to the Internet in a very tacit understanding.

"Your hit back is too high, we won this point!"

The gorgeous red hair was very dazzling in the sun, and the tennis ball was intercepted by him gorgeously in the air.

boom!
There was a crisp sound, a stunt smash!

"Tacit cooperation, gorgeous stunts, what a pity..."

Yanagi Renji off the court followed Mitsugu's advice and needed to constantly collect information on all opponents, so he would not let go of such an opportunity.

Seeing Xiang Riyueren's retaliate at this time, Xu narrowed his eyes and praised: "It's a pity... you met Wentai."

Nioh Masaharu in the backcourt didn't even move his body, just stood there blankly.

Just when Yue Xiang thought he was going to score easily, the boy opposite who also had gorgeous red hair had already stopped in front of the tennis ball.

Snapped!
Accompanied by the bursting of the bubbles in his mouth, Fumta Marui backhanded the fierce stunt smash, and flew straight to the outside of the court.

"This angle, this power, don't worry, this is an out-of-bounds ball... what... what?!"

The tennis ball, which must have been out of bounds in the eyes of Xiang Riyue, unexpectedly bounced off the poles of the net, and then bounced into their court.

"You can encounter this, what kind of bullshit luck..."

Seeing the opponent's dribbling like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, Xiang Riyue felt helpless in his heart.

"15-0."

Hyotei had a bad start. They were unable to break through the net blockade blocked by Tatekai Daimarui Bunta alone.

"Such a method is too coincidental... Was the other party really lucky just now?"

Shinobu was not as careless as Xiang Hiyake, he glanced slightly at Marui Bunta who had been chewing gum, and his vigilance against him increased again.

If the guess in his mind was true, the opponent could have hit the ball directly into the court, but he deliberately missed it, which gave Xiang Ri a big illusion, and he personally pinched away this luck.

This is a terrible feeling for the ball, a very strong self-confidence, and a very clever way of destroying Xiangri's confidence.

Swish!
Throwing the tennis ball lightly again, Ninzuzu's body jumped up again, his arm drove the racket to snap, a yellow light flashed from Ninzuzu's hand, and then quickly appeared in the opponent's half.

Super fast serve!
This time, Ninjazu did not try the previous serve, but changed the way.

"What a fast serve..."

The speed of this ball has exceeded Bunta's visual reaction.

He didn't easily try to catch the ball by himself, but trusted his teammates behind him.

Nioh Masaharu at this time is not as perverted as he was two years later, but he should not be underestimated. He has a huge mental power and super dynamic vision.

He can easily catch such a speeding tennis ball.

boom!
Steady and simple, Nio easily caught the landing point of the ball while his body was shaking, and the racket swept directly.

The tennis ball was hit straight back.

And Renzu and Xiangri, who had already suffered a loss, would no longer think that the opponent could not return their serve.

Therefore, I was prepared in advance and took a quick glance at the code behind Xiangri.

This was a tactic their Ice Emperor had trained many times.

boom!
"15-15."

boom!
"30-30."

……

The competition became fierce from the first point, with both sides going back and forth, and the game was very tense.

People from various schools on the sidelines were also watching intently, for fear of missing every ball in the exciting confrontation.

"As expected of a final, the competition for the first point was so fierce!"

Mamoru Inoue took a few photos with his camera towards both sides. These two groups of first-year doubles players have reached the national level in previous years.

Of course, this so-called national level is more of an exaggeration, and it just represents the owner's ability to show off in the national competition.

For the time being, it does not mean that their strength has really reached the national level.

……

boom!
Nioh Masaharu seized the opportunity of Xiang Ri's lob shot back. He jumped up, bent his arm violently, and slammed the racket down.

"coming!"

Renzu turned his eyes and smiled, the trick he learned from Qingxue before has come into play.

Swish!
He glanced at the tennis ball slightly, then turned his body, bent his knees and squatted halfway through the centripetal force of his body, and raised the racket halfway.

Nioh Masaharu's smash ball was precisely caught by him.

"Brown bear caught!"

In the surprised eyes of everyone, after the smash ball hit the racket, it was rebounded with all the effort.

The tennis ball flew up, passed Marui Bunta and Niou Masaharu, and accurately landed near the bottom line of the Tachikai duo.

"Game, Hyotei Academy Ninzu Yushi and Mugahigatake, the score is 1-0."

After dozens of rounds of confrontation, Ice King successfully defended his serve.

"Change!"

……

Seeing Shinobu and Xiangri win the round, Nioh and Marui looked at each other, not paying attention.

The real game begins now...

boom!
"Game, Likai Dairen Wang Masaharu, Marui Bunta, 1-1."

……

boom!
"Game, Yushi Ninzuzu from Hyotei Gakuen, and Kohidake, 2-1."

……

Bang!
"Game, Likai Dairen Wang Masaharu, Marui Bunta, 2-2."

"Swap venues!"

The next few rounds played very quickly, with frequent moves from both sides, Marui Fumta's superb volley and defensive skills in front of the net.

Nioh's solid defensive counterattack and super dynamic vision are very similar to Ice Emperor's doubles one.

However, as a teammate, Fumta Marui knows very well that Nioh has not shown his power at all.

When resting.

"Nioh, how are you preparing? Are you so slow this time? It's almost the fifth game?"

Nioh, who had been leaning on the seat without making a sound, tugged at his braid.

"Puli... I've been fine for a long time, it's just that you didn't ask in advance."

"King Ni, that's enough, you've been like this, don't you see how difficult they are?"

"Anla, Anla, here we go."

The first-year Nioh has not yet developed the extremely perverted Nioh phantom.

Somewhat similar to Atobe, his most powerful ability at this time is the combination of huge mental power and super dynamic vision, resulting in amazing insights.

This kind of insight may be a little weaker than Atobe's, but it is enough to easily see through some of the opponent's weaknesses.

Even in the original work, when Nioh played against Kikumaru Oishi for the first time, Kikumaru's weakness was seen in just one game.

However, Nioh later did not delve into the path of insight into weaknesses, but entered another deep use of mental power.

But at this time, it is enough to see through the duo of Bingdi.

The character of Mukahidake is very similar to Kikumaru Eiji and Marui Bunta.

With reference, insight is quick, the only one who is slower is Yushi Ninzu.

……

"Don't be distracted, hold on to Xiangri, there is me behind you..."

Looking at the opposite Li Haida, the two looked relaxed, but his teammate Xiang Ri was very tired at this time, and he restrained his feet and shouted in a low voice.

He probably guessed what the opponent was thinking, and had already made a move. Before the fierce confrontation, the opponent kept attacking Xiang Ri, which caused his physical exertion to be very serious.

"Yeah! Don't worry, Yushi."

Xiang Riyue responded softly, and he also knew what the other person was thinking, which made him very annoyed.

"You actually used him as a breakthrough, you soft persimmon."

"Also... the sense of voyeurism that has been lingering around us since the beginning of the game must be the method of you, the blue-haired guy!"

The Kansai wolf that had been fighting Atobe until last night had very keen senses.

At this time, his eyes looked past Bunta in front and towards Nioh in the backcourt. Under the mirror light, his eyes also exuded a faint light.

"Compared to Atobu, your insight is far worse!"

Renzu's thoughts drifted to the last moments of last night's battle...

……

"Be patient, this kind of helpless giving up, this kind of ending is not what I want to see!"

Atobe murmured in a low voice.

Under the full strength of Atobe, all the weaknesses of Shinobu are revealed.

No matter how he attacks or defends, he will be easily broken by Atobe.

Such a blow nearly knocked him down.

Confused, helpless, weak, and hopeless.

"Am I going to lose?"

"I can't beat Atobe, no matter what attack I make, he will easily fight back..."

"Under Atobe's kingdom, how about it end like this?"

Renzu's heart kept sinking, and at the same time, a voice kept shouting, and a horrifying gloom instantly covered his eyes.

After his disastrous defeat against Zong Yan, he didn't have much emotion at first.

But seeing Atobe go further under the oppression of Zong Yan, but he himself did not improve much for some reason.

This is completely unacceptable for him who has the reputation of being a genius.

And as time went on, Zong Yan's dark figure buried deep in his heart became clearer and more terrifying.

The dark influence continues.

Ninzu also noticed this, so he challenged Atobe.

I originally thought that playing against Atobe would help me see my tennis path clearly and sort out the depression during this period, but it all seemed to be in vain.

Even if he used a thousand stunts himself, he was suppressed by Atobu's backhand in the end.

It made Renzu have deep doubts about himself.

Am I really a tennis genius?

How famous the name used to be, how painful it is after repeated failures.

The intertwined emotions inside and outside are extremely complex.

The figures of Zongyan and Atobe were like two mountains weighing on his heart.

Suddenly, he remembered what Saeki Sohiko said to him when he left the ice emperor.

"Genius is just the recognition given by the strong. Do you want to be a genius or become a strong person?"

The proud string in the deepest part of his heart was broken, and Renzu's body was shaken.

"He wants to be a strong man, not a genius!"

The strong man must keep playing tennis!
After realizing this, Renzu finally began to change.

After the endless silence and darkness, there is the first light.

……

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ren Zuzu sincerely thanked him for the battle with Atobe last night.

I also sincerely thank Saeki Munuhiko for what he said to him.

What Ren Zu didn't know was that Zong Yan didn't just say this to him...

After realizing that Nioh Masaharu had made a move, he no longer kept his feet. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything, except for tennis and racket.

"Pfft, what is this?"

Naturally, Renzu's changes could not be hidden from Niou's insight.

At this time, Renzu's whole temperament has changed. Under the mirror that is shining with cold light, there are a pair of cold and silent eyes.

This situation surprised King Ni, at this moment he actually lost his sense of Renzu.

The other party was obviously there, but he couldn't feel anything.

If Munuhiko Saeki were here, he would know very clearly that what Ninzu awakened was his special skill two years later.

Close your heart.

Like Sanada's Unknowable Yin, it has an isolating effect on all perception and insight.

It was difficult for anyone to predict what he would do next.

"You've finally used it. Endure your feet. You have lived up to the physical strength that my uncle spent practicing with you so late."

Off the field, Atobe's eyes were approving, and he was very satisfied with Shinobu's performance.

"Win this game, Renzu!"

Ninjazu who has entered this state, even in the eyes of Atobe, his weaknesses and blind spots have almost disappeared. He is also looking forward to Ninzuzu's next performance.

Bang!
The game continues.

boom!
In the face of Nioh's tricky shot, he endured without fear, the racket was tilted up, and a beautiful short shot was made.

"Hyokuei's movements suddenly became so clean!"

In the waiting area of ​​Lihai University, Yukimura, who was on the referee's seat, also had a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Even he didn't see any excess in the movements of Renzu.

The action is clean and simple, but it has a huge threat.

"King Ni and the others, it seems that this match is a suspense. I didn't expect that Bingdi has such talents besides Atobe."

……

The game was just as Yukimura expected, with Shinobu's outburst, the balance of victory began to tilt towards Hyodi.

Tread...  

Nioh quickly went to the net and picked up the ball.

The tennis ball was spinning slightly in the air, but before it hit the ground, a figure was already rising higher and higher.

Ninja Yushi.

As if everything had been pre-planned in advance, there was no smile on Renzu's silent face, and the tennis ball was heavily buckled by him with the strength of his sprint.

"Game, Ice Emperor Academy won, score 7-5."
