Chapter 183 Red-haired boy
Finally, after everyone's discussion, Coach Sakaki decided on the final roster.
Singles three, Jin Akutsu.
Doubles team two, Shishido Ryo and Hou Chotaro.
Singles two, Tian Yulin.
Doubles one, Atobe Keigo and Karachi Takahiro.
Singles, Hiyoshiro.
As usual, Hyotei still maintains its usual strong style, striving to secure victory in the first three games.
However, even if the first three games fail to go as planned, Hyotei's king, Keigo Atobe, will not hesitate to personally take the field and take charge of the crucial fourth game.
This year's Hyotei Academy has demonstrated unprecedented perfection in terms of both lineup depth and individual strength.
On the other hand, the only variable on Seigaku's side is their captain, Kunimitsu Tezuka.
He can not only stand on his own in singles, but also cooperate with his teammates in doubles, showing an elusive versatility.
The presence of Tezuka Kunimitsu undoubtedly adds a bit of unpredictability to Seigaku.
At the same time, on the campus of Seigaku, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Coach Ryuuzaki both looked quite solemn.
They knew very well that it would not be easy for Qingxue to win against the now powerful Hyotei Academy.
Although Hyotei was equally powerful in the past, Seigaku was always able to find a breakthrough at the critical moment thanks to his excellent tactical arrangements.
However, the Ice Emperor is no longer the same as before. Their strength and condition have reached an unprecedented level.
Especially the three giants of Ice Emperor, each of them possesses strong strength, and can pose a huge threat to the opponent whether in singles or doubles.
Even without mentioning the Big Three, the doubles team of Hyotei's Shishido Ryo and Hou Chotaro, with their tacit cooperation and strong strength, even Seigaku's Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro would find it difficult to compete with them.
Although they were filled with reluctance and helplessness, both Tezuka Kunimitsu and Coach Ryuzaki were clearly aware that this was an unavoidable fact.
If Qingxue wants to win this fierce competition, he must win three games excluding the doubles match.
This is troublesome, we have to win three out of four games.
We have to win at least two games against the Big Three!
This...seems to be quite difficult.
In the end, they lined up like that...
At ten o'clock in the evening, the lights came on and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually died down. Atobe Keigo hurriedly finished the last task at hand, sighed softly, and prepared to go home and rest.
However, just as he was about to step out of the school gate, his heart trembled slightly.
It was Tianyu. He was leaning against the school gate, as if blending into the night, and seemed to be deliberately waiting for something.
Tianyu's posture seemed a little casual, even unruly, but his eyes were closed, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a trace of saliva flowing inadvertently. Good guy, he had fallen asleep.
His breathing was steady and long, and he seemed to have completely forgotten everything around him, including the passage of time.
Seeing this, Atobe couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, put his hand to cover his forehead, and a smile of both anger and amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This guy is still the same, hasn't changed at all, always so troublesome!"
In the end, Atobe could only helplessly take a step forward and slowly walk towards Tianyu.
He gently shook Tianyu's shoulders, trying to wake up the guy who was immersed in his dream.
"Hey, Atobe, are you done yet?"
Tianyu opened his eyes drowsily, his eyes still hazy and sleepy, obviously he had not fully woken up from his sleep.
His voice was a little hoarse, but it carried a kind of intimacy.
"Well, is there something that makes you wait for me here?" Atobe Keigo raised an eyebrow curiously, with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"How about we go out for dinner together?" Tianyu suggested with a smile, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
"No problem at all."
Atobe Keigo readily agreed, secretly thanking himself that he hadn't eaten yet and that this suggestion was just what he wanted. He then told the driver to go back first, and he straightened his clothes, ready to go to the restaurant with Tianyu.
Just as the two took a step and prepared to set out for the restaurant, the clear and powerful sound of hitting a tennis ball suddenly reached their ears, breaking the silence around them.
The sound was particularly abrupt in the empty campus.
Atobe Keigo and Tianyu couldn't help but stop, with curiosity and surprise appearing on their faces.
Atobe Keigo frowned slightly, thinking to himself: I have just given a clear order that no one is allowed to train today, so that everyone can have a relaxing rest.
However, at this moment, there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the wind and ignore his orders. This is simply outrageous!
There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but at the same time his curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to see who had such courage.
He and Tianyu looked at each other, and then they went to the tennis court together.
After a while, a figure came into their sight, practicing basic batting movements intently.
Just as Atobe was about to scold the person who had trespassed into the tennis court, he was suddenly stopped by Tianyu beside him.
A bitter smile flashed in Tianyu's eyes. He gently patted Jibe's shoulder, signaling him to be patient.
"Stupid Atobe, don't be so quick to scold him." Tianyu shook his head helplessly, his eyes pointed at the coat on the figure, "Look at his coat, it's the school uniform of Hyotei Elementary School."
After hearing this, Atobe looked at the figure carefully and noticed the school uniform he was wearing.
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
"It's already summer vacation, and there are still people coming to school to practice tennis?"
Atobe couldn't help but mutter to himself, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in his tone.
Tianyu also nodded, and also showed great interest in this figure.
The two decided to find a place to sit down and watch the little guy's training quietly.
They found a shady spot not far from the tennis court and sat down, their eyes fixed on the figure.
The little guy performed every movement very seriously. Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the tennis court, but it did not affect his concentration at all.
The more Tianyu looked at him, the more he felt something was wrong. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Wow, with red hair, red eyes, and this height...why does he look so much like Akashi Seijuro?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.
"System, explain!"
"Ding, it's just as the system expected!"
After receiving a positive answer, Tianyu instantly became excited.
Wow, this is the UR!
