Chapter 9: A tennis duel with Akai
The afternoon was a bit tight, and there were only two rounds to go through.
However, because the Higa Junior High School Tennis Club itself does not have many members, there are not many people left at the moment.
Tomorrow's game is expected to be even more intense.
On the way, the members gathered together in twos and threes.
They were telling each other about what had happened in today's ranking tournament.
Such a scene could not have been possible when Harumi Otome was in charge of the tennis club before.
At that time, the tennis club was like a pool of stagnant water, and Harumi Saotome would not care about the life or death of ordinary club members.
Free practice is the phrase that ordinary members of the club have heard the most in the mouth of Harumi Saotome.
"Tomorrow it should be Amuro's turn to play against Akai Senpai, right?"
On the way back, something suddenly occurred to Kite.
Amuro Jin deliberately arranged Akai to be in a group with him, probably because he was interested in the strength of the other party.
And in the Amuro group, they are all third-year students who are not weak.
"yes, the ranking tournament should be almost over tomorrow."
Amuro nodded.
The background of the Bigga Tennis Club is still too shallow.
Naturally, the number of people in the tennis club is the background.
In this regard, the Ice Emperor is naturally one of the leaders, and the Ice Emperor Tennis Club, which has more than 200 members, has always been a wealthy family in Kanto.
They are able to attract several times as many talents as they can be.
The same is true of Lihaida.
The perennial dominance of the Kanto region makes Tatsukai University a unique university in Kanagawa Prefecture, and almost all new students in Kanagawa Prefecture who are interested in tennis choose to join this school.
On the other hand, Higa National High School has been rotten for so many years, so that the reputation of the tennis club in the school is not good.
Not to mention what talent to attract.
In Okinawa Prefecture, Higa Kokuchu Tennis Club is not the top.
Amuro Jin's road is still a long one.
......
Following.
The rematch of the intramural ranking tournament has started again.
The members who had already lost joined the audience, and after yesterday's fermentation, the number of viewers attracted today is even greater than yesterday.
Many people have the impression that it is the first time that the tennis club has held such an activity as an intramural ranking tournament, and their curiosity drives them to come and watch.
As the game entered the final day, the intensity became more and more intense.
Kai, Hirataniba, Zhinian Kuan and other freshmen who were recruited by Amuro Jin and Kide early began to show their true strength.
It all started with Amuro's words yesterday.
"We are in the first grade, and if we want to convince the public, we must show absolute strength to convince everyone."
So today's battle situation is simply one-sided, and the 6:0 is hanging high on the bulletin board in front of the stadium social office.
One round, two rounds.
Until the final round of the official team list, Kai and others passed the test with a winning attitude.
Such a gap has also made many people recognize the reality.
Although the official roster has been released, there is still one last game to be played.
That's the contest between the official players.
It's an inconsequential match, but no one wants to throw in the towel.
It's a shame to lose in front of everyone.
And in this last game, Amuro Jin's opponent is officially Akai Shuiji.
......
"Please advise!"
Shuiji Akai gently pushed his glasses and stretched out his hand.
The last fiasco at the Zhuoqiu Club is still vivid.
Now back on the tennis court, Akai Shuiji is eager to see if Amuro's attainments in tennis are as high as Taku's.
"Come on, Akai!"
"We must find the field!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the stadium.
He turned his head and saw that everyone from the Zhuoqiu Club had actually arrived.
The tennis club has such a big thing as a ranking match in the school, and everyone in the Zhuoqiu club has naturally heard about it, and as Akai's friends, they naturally want to come to cheer for Akai.
Seeing that Akai finally became an official member of Higa National High School Tennis Club, they were also very happy for Akai.
"Really... Wouldn't it be a shame to lose! ”
A warm current surged through Akai's heart, and he raised his legs to snap back the racket and buckle it downward.
Akai, a third-year student, is much taller than Amuro Jin, and his jump-kill serve has made many people exclaim.
And Akai Shuiji's action on the net after serving did not hesitate at all, and he was about to rush through the half court in a blink of an eye.
"Not bad! Senior Akai, your attainments in tennis are much higher than those of Zhuoqiu. ”
Amuro's figure suddenly came behind the tennis ball, and his commentative speech made Akai clench the racket in his hand.
It was somewhat unpleasant to be preached by a junior Akai like this.
This can be seen from the sound of the prompt next to Amuro's ears.
"Ding! Sentiment points from Shuiji Akai +267. ”
The corners of Amuro's mouth rose slightly, and sure enough, fresh leeks could withstand harvesting.
In the face of Akai, Amuro Jin didn't need to think about the problem of using too much force, and the super half-volley after a low drink lit up Akai Shuiji's pupils.
The golden shadow was fleeting in his sight.
Boom!
This ball and Akai Shuiji's pivot foot almost fitted perfectly, and he didn't have time to react when the old power was exhausted and the new power was not born.
"Game, Amuro, 15:0."
It was still the principal Koishikawa who acted as the referee for this game, and even he was shocked by this goal.
Such a strong and swift half-volley made Koishikawa's heart once again raise his evaluation of Amuro Jin.
Although he didn't see the ball clearly, he was shocked.
This is actually a tennis game played in a first grade?!
"Senior Akai, it's okay to work a little harder."
Amuro said with a smile.
He wants to add another fire to Akai's heart, so that he can make a systematic evaluation of Akai's strength.
By the way, you can also harvest a crop of fresh leeks.
"Heh..."
Akai Shuji squeezed the tennis ball in his hand, how to say that he was once a well-known genius boy in the youth tennis world in the Kansai region.
Akai, who came to Okinawa due to a change in his parents' job and entered Higa National High School, was the first time he had encountered a strong opponent as strong as Amuro in tennis.
The long-lost blood and passion in my heart were awakened again.
Bang!
It's still a jump-and-kill high-speed serve, and the ball speed of this ball is even faster than the previous one.
Akai also went to the net again after serving, and the previous ball was suppressed by Amuro Jin, and it didn't seem to bring him much blow.
"It's kind of interesting!"
Amuro's figure flashed, and he took the position in advance and pulled his shoulders again.
Super Half Volley!
Bang!
With the blessing of Amuro's terrible ball control, the ball was still aimed at Akai's pivot foot.
This is the most difficult way for a net-to-volley player to hit back.
Trample!
Akai's eyes flashed with coldness, and his figure was as light as a willow leaf with one foot.
The rebounding tennis ball was just right for Akai's diagonal backward jump.
Bang!
Akai pulls out a short straight line with a backhand that hits the frontcourt.
The ball ran through Amuro's front court instantly.
