Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Chapter 131 The Tragic Irie Kanata

I don’t know if it was his illusion, or if there was an indescribable coldness hidden in Tianyu’s deep eyes.

Irie Zouda clearly caught a hint of subtle murderous intent in Tianyu's sharp eyes, like a sharp blade in the cold winter wind, which made people shudder.

He forced a smile and tried to break the tense atmosphere with a relaxed tone.

"Ah, my dear brother Tianyu, your eyes are really too scary. My heart can't take it."

However, Tianyu seemed not to hear his words, and still maintained that cold and focused look, staring at him quietly.

The pressure of this silence made Irie Kanata feel more uncomfortable than ever before. He had to speak again and try to ease the awkward atmosphere with jokes.

"Hey, I have a rare day off. I wanted to enjoy my leisure time, but how did I happen to come here and run into you?"

Tianyu's mouth corners slightly raised, but there was no warmth in that smile. He said calmly: "Keep acting, Senior Irie. I want to see what else you can come up with."

His voice was calm, which made Irie feel extremely embarrassed.

Seeing this, Irie Kanata knew that his disguise had been seen through, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly: "Oh my god, you found out everything."

"Okay, I'll be honest. I was actually asked by Coach Mifune to come here to find out what's going on."

Tianyu immediately understood what Mifune Nyudo meant. After all, the Kanto region was home to the top four teams in the national competition, including Rikkai University, Hyotei, and Seigaku. The players' strength was naturally among the best in the country.

(Since Saito and the others weren't invited, only Mifune Nyudo has learned about the strength of this junior high school class through Hyotei. The other coaches haven't noticed yet.)

Having said that, Irie Kanata paused, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Furthermore, Coach seems quite impressed with the strength of you junior high students. He believes that the best among you already have the ability to compete with high school students. Therefore, he is also considering whether he should identify some promising junior high school students in advance to prepare for the future U17 World Championship."

Tianyu thinks there is nothing wrong with doing this. It is also a good thing that it allows junior high school students to enter the U17's sight earlier than originally planned.

Suddenly, Tianyu seemed to have thought of something and stared at Irie Kanata with a smile.

Irie Kanata looked at Tianyu's malicious eyes and couldn't help but say in horror.

"Tianyu, I have a normal sexual orientation."

Tianyu's face turned dark instantly.

(Tianyu: I’ve already started to feel gloomy everyday)

"Of course I know, but your lovely junior needs your help now, senior, you won't refuse, right~"

Irie Kanata had already realized that something was wrong and was about to run away.

But Tianyu grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Senior Irie."

……

A few minutes later, Tianyu came out with Irie Kanata after using the toilet.

At this moment, there was no light on Irie's face, and he looked like he had lost all hope in life.

"Tianyu is such a cruel kid, he actually threatened me."

Thinking of what Tianyu had just said to him, Irie swore that he would not be happy that day.

"Irie-senpai, you'd better help me, or I'll tell everyone you know that you're a good actor. You should know what I mean."

Tian Yu looked at Tian Yu with a smile.

But in Irie Kanata's eyes, this smile was the smile of a devil.

Fortunately, what Tianyu asked him to do didn't seem to be difficult. He just had to stay with the players and give them appropriate guidance.

Of course, when necessary, you have to sit in the coaching seat for him for a while.

In response to this, Kanata Irie said that he would be OK as long as the organizer had no objection.

(Tianyu: I can’t be the only one suffering, hehe! What, you mean the organizer? Who dares to have a problem with the young master of Tianyu Group?)

……

The game is about to start.

In the Kanto team's lounge, everyone looked at Irie Kanata next to Tianyu with suspicion.

Although Tianyu said that this person was a strong player from U17 and he specially brought him here to be an assistant coach, everyone expressed doubts about this.

After all, the person in front of him did not have the aura of a strong man at all.

Tianyu and the others recognized him. After all, his strength was obvious to everyone present, but they did not recognize this outsider.

Seeing this, Tianyu had no choice but to step forward and act as a guarantor.

"Okay, everyone, if anything goes wrong, I'll be responsible."

"Furthermore, this man only used less than 6% of his strength last time to perfectly suppress Atobe."

Only then did everyone agree that Irie Kanata would serve as the assistant coach.

What they cared about was Tianyu's next words. This seemingly weak guy could actually suppress Tetsuya!

Among the people present, apart from Irie himself, the only one who can do this 100% is probably Tianyu.

And Yanagi Renji's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, he saw things on other levels.

Atobe has already played against the U17 players, and Tianyu was also present at the time. Does this mean that all the members of Hyotei have already played against the U17 players?

Tianyu was completely unaware that he had let the cat out of the bag and was still thinking about how to get Irie Kanado to help him watch a few more games.

……

As the game was about to begin, the audience's cheers and expectations converged into an unstoppable tide, and the entire space seemed to be filled with energy that was about to explode.

Coach Baker, wearing his signature coaching uniform, had an expectant smile on his face. He couldn't imagine how much money this exchange match would bring him.

Although what is given is definitely not as much as Hyotei, it is still a considerable income.

He slowly walked towards Tianyu, and the two shook hands before the game.

"Long time no see, Tianyu-san."

"I never expected to see you again on the court so soon, but this time, we're both coaches."

Tianyu heard this and a confident and cunning smile appeared on his lips. "Hey, Coach Baker, you're too kind."

His eyes were bright as he scanned the court where the match was about to begin. "This time, I'm bringing a brand new team. Although there aren't any members from Hyotei joining us, our strength is quite strong."

Coach Baker's smile widened upon hearing this. "Oh? I'm really looking forward to it."

……

In order to increase the fun of the competition, the appearance list is announced just like in the original work, before the contestants go on stage, so no one knows which two will go on stage first.

But Tianyu knew it clearly and he had prepared a surprise for his opponent.

Although not as luxurious as the original, the pair he sent out is a pair full of infinite possibilities.

Following the announcement on the radio, doubles match 2 is finally about to begin.

As pink smoke emerged from the Kanto team's passage, two figures slowly walked out, one with blond hair and the other with white hair.

The appearance list was also displayed on the big screen.

Kanto Youth Team: Niou Masaharu, Tachibana Yoshihei

US West Coast Team: Billy Casey, Mike Lee

(Ju has been unblocked and dyed her hair back to blonde in advance)
