The semi-finals of the Guandong Competition had begun. There were four schools competing in the semi-finals. They were Lihai University Affiliated High School, Shanchui High School, Liujiao High School, and Frost Emperor Academy.
Lihai High School would be competing with Mountain Chui High School, while Ice Emperor Academy would be competing with Hexagon High School. The school that won would enter the finals and fight for the championship.
The semi-finals of the Kanto Grand Competition naturally attracted many students from various schools. Many students from schools in the Tokyo area came to watch the competition. After all, the venue of the competition was in Tokyo, not far away.
Shanchui High School was also a strong tennis school. The school was most famous for its doubles. Shan Chui Middle School's coach, Elder Ban, was also a famous coach. Under his guidance, Shan Chui Middle School's results had been good in recent years.
"Elder Ban, do you think we can win today's game? Our opponent is Lihai University Affiliated High School." An orange-haired youth asked an elder from Mountain Chui Middle School. The youth was a first-year student from Mountain Chui Middle School. His name was Chiishi Chunchun, and the elder was Mountain Chui Middle School's tennis coach, Elder Ban.
"Why, Qianshi, are you afraid?”Elder Ban said with a smile. Although Qian Shi was only a first-year student, his strength was not bad, so he recruited him as an official member.
This was also one of the reasons why Mountain Chui High School was stronger than Youth Academy. Everything in the tennis club was decided by the coach, Elder Ban. Because of this, there would not be any cases of seniors bullying juniors in Mountain Chui High School.
On the other hand, it was Qing Xue. The coach of Qing Xue, Long Qi, did not really care about the tennis club. It was usually managed by the head of the tennis club. As a coach, she had very little say in the tennis club. Therefore, even if the seniors were to ostracize the juniors, even if she knew about it, she would not be able to do anything about it. This caused the tennis club of Qing Xue to deteriorate year by year. Qing Xue, which used to be a strong tennis school, was now in decline.
Even if Coach Long Qi had been a little more forceful and expelled some of the black sheep from the tennis club, the current Seigaku tennis club would not have ended up like this. Now that the Seigaku tennis club had become a third-rate club, it had to be said that Coach Long Qi's inaction had a lot to do with it.
"After all, our opponent is Lihai University. They are the overlords of the East of China and have won the championship of the East of China competition for thirteen consecutive years.”Qian Shiqing said helplessly.
"Hehe, as long as you work hard, it doesn't matter even if you lose the game. Even if we lose the competition, we've already gotten tickets to the National League.”The old man didn't care about winning or losing. After all, winning or losing was a common thing in the military. He had been a tennis coach for so many years that he didn't care about winning or losing.
"Lihai University Affiliated High School is indeed strong, especially in their singles. In my opinion, they are already standing at the peak of the national middle school students. However, their doubles are not good. Their doubles are formed by the temporary players, but they rely on their own strength to defeat the other players.”
"Our doubles combination isn't as strong as Li Hai, but in terms of teamwork and tacit understanding, we surpass them. Therefore, it's not impossible for us to defeat them.”Old Ban was indeed an old coach who had been working for decades. His eyes were very sharp and he immediately saw where Lihai's shortcomings were.
After listening to Elder Ban's words, the players from Mountain Chui High School finally regained some confidence. When they found out that their opponent was Lihai University Affiliated High School, they felt a sense of fear. What was Lihai University? That was the overlord of the Kanto region! How could they possibly defeat Li Hai University?
Such a mindset had already caused them to lose half of the battle before it even started. When two armies fought, the brave would win. It was the same in the competition. Before the competition even started, they felt that they were not good enough and could not defeat the other party. If their momentum was lost, the final result would only be a complete defeat.
At Tokyo's tennis park, Xiao Chen and the others had once again come here from Kanagawa. Today's semi-final against Yamaguchi High School was held at nine o'clock in the morning.
"Liu, today you will take my place in the technical area.”Xiao Chen told Liu Lianer. He was going to play as the number one player in the doubles match today, so he naturally could not sit in the coach's seat.
"Alright, I got it." Liu Lian Er nodded.
"The semi-finals of the Kanto Grand Competition is about to begin. Contestant, please enter the arena as soon as possible.”Soon, the broadcast sounded.
"Let's go, let's enter." Xiao Chen nodded to the others and took the lead to walk towards the competition venue. Yukimura and the others naturally followed closely behind, following Xiao Chen into the competition venue.
Compared to Mountain Chui High School's nervousness, Xiao Chen and the others were more relaxed. When the two sides 'auras were compared, Mountain Chui High School immediately fell into a disadvantage, which made the members of Mountain Chui High School even more nervous.
"I hope we have a good game today.”Xiao Chen smiled at the head of the tennis club.
"One…definitely. Please…please…give me your guidance.”The head of the tennis club stuttered, but he was secretly hating himself for being so useless. He was a third-year student, but now he was afraid of a first-year kid.
The match soon began. The first match was the doubles number two. Yukimura and Sanada walked to the court with their rackets.
When Yamabuki High School's coach saw Yukimura and Sanada go on stage, he couldn't help but frown. He didn't expect Rikai University to change their team formation, but it didn't matter. After all, Rikai University's doubles were temporary combinations of single players.
"The match begins. One round will determine the winner. Tachikai Daiyokumura and Sanada will serve.”the referee announced.
In the doubles combination of Yukimura and Sanada, Yukimura was in the first half while Sanada was in the second half. Sanada was the first to serve in the second half.
"Swift as the wind!"
Sanada used Swift Wind as soon as he came up. The speed of the ball was so fast that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, which shocked the second doubles player of Yamabuki High School.
"Bang!"
The tennis ball landed, and Sanada scored a point with an ACE ball. Yamabuki High School's double number two gasped. They did not expect Sanada's serve to be so fast.
"Invasion like fire!"
Sanada used his fire arcane, fiercely hitting the ball, causing the power of the ball to be incomparably huge. It surged towards the opponent's field like a wave.
"Pa!"
The No. 2 doubles player from Yamakui High School wanted to catch the ball, but the ball was too powerful. His tennis racket was sent flying, and his entire arm was numb from the shock! The strength of his power was shocking.
With Swift Wind and Fiery Invasion, Sanada easily won the first round. Yamabuki High School's doubles combination did not manage to return a single ball to Sanada's two moves.
Next, it was Yamabuki High School's doubles team's turn to serve. As a national level doubles team, Yamabuki High School's doubles team was still very strong. It was a pity that they were facing Sanada and Yukimura in this match.
In the second match, one of the members of Yamabuki High School's doubles team had his five senses silently extinguished by Yukimura, and he had lost his combat ability. The No. 2 duo of Yamabuki, who was already weaker than Yukimura and Sanada, had one less person, so they were even less of a match for Yukimura and the others.
"The match has ended. The score is 6:0, and Lihai University Affiliated High School wins.”The referee announced the result.
Many of the students who came to watch the match couldn't believe it. After all, Mountain Chui High School's doubles were very strong, but they had lost to Lihai University with a score of 6:0. This was simply unbelievable.
"Isn't Lihai University's strength this year too strong? It's simply unbelievably strong!"
"That's right. Although last year's Lihai University was also very strong, it wasn't as abnormal as this year's!”
The defeat of Mountain Chui High School's No. 2 in the doubles team also shocked Boss Ban. In his opinion, Mountain Chui High School might lose to Lihai University in the doubles team, but they definitely wouldn't lose so badly. After all, Lihai University's doubles team was a temporary combination of single players.
But now, reality proved that this was not the case. Even if it was a temporary duo, as long as one's strength was strong enough, they could still beat them.
The second match of the doubles team had ended, and the next match was the first match of the doubles team. Xiao Chen and Tezuka had already prepared themselves for the second match and walked onto the court.
"What is it? The minister of Lihai University was actually the first in the doubles!”Xiao Chen's appearance puzzled the other schools. After all, they thought that the head of the tennis department of Lihai University was a strong single player. As a head, he usually played as the number one player.
