My life maintained a strange balance in a strange atmosphere. For the next few days, I would meet Minister Tezuka in the morning. He would silently accompany me to deliver all the newspapers, and then rush into the classroom with me at the last moment when the bell rang. I really didn't know why he was doing this.
During class, I would always feel some inexplicable gazes landing on me with some evil intentions. After class, I would pass by the corridor and hear low whispers. It didn't seem to be anything good.
Teacher Long Qi had finally decided that my partner would be Burg. It was said that because he was a genius, even if he had never worked with me before, he would still be able to perform very well. Facing Burg's smiling face, the corners of my mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond.
During training, although Burg had been accommodating me, it made me even more abnormal. After all, I really had no experience as the main force. Therefore, the results of the doubles were said to be the public humiliation of the doubles team in Peach City, and they couldn't stand it anymore.）。
As these inexplicable days slowly faded away, we welcomed the Tokyo finals this weekend.
The day before the finals, Long Qi lectured us repeatedly that we should not practice too much, that we must rest well, and not affect our performance for tomorrow's match. Of course, the main candidates were very obedient and agreed, so I only weakly responded. Anyway, I definitely could not skip my night work.
Even if I worked late, it still wouldn't affect me. I woke up early the next day. Compared to the previous time, I was so energetic that even Popeye was jealous.
By the time Tezuka and I reached the stadium, Coach Long Qi and the others had already arrived. Since it was the finals, there was no need to go through too many formalities, so we went straight into the stadium.
The match was about to begin.
I twirled the racket in my hand over and over again. I was worried about how I could get Burg to stop cooperating with me. I would just cooperate with him. After all, I really wasn't cut out to be the main player.
My wandering thoughts were startled by the cheers around me. I raised my head in surprise and followed everyone's gaze. Finally, I saw the group of people who made countless women and men go crazy (==!）。
The white sportswear with grey sleeves gave off a familiar feeling. The leader was still the man who never forgot to show off his magnificence and superiority at all times-Atobe Keigo. The mole at the corner of his eye seemed to be even more eye-catching today.
The first person to appear behind him was the bespectacled boy with a different temperament but not inferior to him. He looked especially calm and reserved today, making it impossible to ignore him.
Just by looking at the two of them, I knew that our first opponent today was Frost Monarch. I thought we would only meet in the finals, but I didn't expect to meet in the semi-finals.!
Atobe snapped his fingers lightly and the heated arena quieted down. He swung his arm and pointed his index finger at us. He was as confident as ever." Today, I'll let you…indulge in my magnificence."”
"Oh, Frost Monarch, Frost Monarch…”
"Atobe, Atobe…”
"Frost Monarch, Atobe, Frost Monarch, Atobe…”
……
“……!”I dug my ears speechlessly and turned my head in a dilemma." Is he always so tense?!”
" Hehe…" Burg, who was standing beside me, was still smiling, but I could feel his eyes twitching." You'll get used to it."”
I shrunk my neck in disgust and muttered softly," I'm afraid I won't be able to get used to it in my lifetime.”
"Hmm, Lake in the Sky is already thinking about spending the rest of your life with Atobe?!”Burg did not know what kind of thinking mode he had, but he actually asked such a question for no reason.
“……!”Finally, I couldn't help but twitch. I decided to ignore his question and the glimmer of light in his eyes. As expected, we're not from the same country. We don't speak the same language!
The match finally began with the referee's signal.
The first match, Men's Doubles: Haitang, Qian VS Yuhu, Phoenix.
I didn't think much about this match. I've experienced the double play between Qian and Haitang once, although Kikumaru wasn't serious at that time.!）They couldn't perform, but it had to be said that they were very powerful. As doubles, their tacit understanding was actually very good.
It was because I understood their strength that I was able to assess their abilities. I was surprised to find out that Frost Monarch's people were also very powerful. It was said that this pair rarely had opponents even in the National League.
The two sides were almost evenly matched. The score was deadlocked until the tiebreaker. At the end of the game, Qian and Haitang lost to Yuto and Phoenix. Therefore, Frost Monarch won the first game by a narrow margin of 7-6.
The second match, mixed doubles: Buru, Lake in the Sky VS Oshitani, Jiang Chuan.
Before I went on stage, I suddenly pulled Duren Burg closer under his puzzled gaze and whispered," Although I don't want to say it, I still have to tell you. Senior, you're not suitable for a supporting role. Let me cooperate with you. You just have to play to the level of a genius. I'll definitely keep up with your pace."”
After saying that, I exerted a little strength with my fingers to tell him that I wasn't joking.
Although he was puzzled, he did not pursue the matter further. After the initial shock, he smiled again." Hehe, since Junior Sister said so, then I won't stand on ceremony.”
He nodded his head vigorously." Don't be polite, old man. I've seen how powerful Frost Monarch is. I don't want to lose to him here."
After we went on stage, we each stood in half of the field. We didn't put on the Australia formation that was the essence of doubles. The main reason was that it wasn't as easy to see through Buner's thoughts as Kikumaru!
In the first round, Frost Monarch served the ball. He used ninjato. He didn't use any fancy moves, but he used the most primitive power. The ball was fast and fierce, but it flew towards Burg. It felt like a challenge letter, and Burg took it.
At the beginning of the game, neither side used their full strength. They only played straight balls back and forth, as if they were testing the waters.
After a few balls, I turned my head and stared at the rapidly flying tennis ball. I suddenly lifted my feet and quickly ran to the other half of the court. I stepped on the ground and swung the racket, trying my best to catch the ball that should have belonged to him.
Ninja's eyes flashed. This was a good opportunity. He jumped up and did his best to catch the ball that I had caught. His target was still the half of the court where I was standing. However, when the ball landed, I was supposed to be waiting. I didn't know when it was Burg's turn. His eyes suddenly opened and a blue light flashed. He turned around, bent his knees, and swung his racket. His wrist rotated a lot and steadily received the smash that was filled with great strength.
The tennis ball that was hit back flew up high, but it suddenly accelerated like a laser, not giving the opponent any time to react.
"It has appeared, one of Senior Burg's four counterattacks-Qilin landing.”A surprised cry came from the Qing Xue audience.
We won the first round!
Ninja gently adjusted his glasses and said in an ambiguous tone," You guys are cooperating quite well."”
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment!" Burg smiled in response." You guys aren't bad either!”
In the second game, it was Fuji who served the ball. He stretched his arm out and added a slight spin to the ball as he loosened his fingers. The ball suddenly disappeared from the opponent's court. Ninja ran quickly to the end line and accurately returned the ball when it bounced up. I ran quickly and saved the ball that almost killed us.
Without waiting for me to stand firm, the other party's counterattack came again. It was a perfect match.
"Bang ~" The tennis ball finally stopped in our court. I looked up speechlessly and stared at the girl opposite me. She didn't have any special skills, but she could completely make up for her lack of endurance. Most importantly, her balls were always aimed at me (==!），It made him very unhappy!
I grabbed Duren Burg's outstretched hand and stood up silently. I patted the dust off my pants and whispered," Sorry, I was too careless.”
