The victory of No. 3 in the first round of the Singles made all the members of Lihai University very happy. Although there were only eight people in the team, they were in Osaka after all. The rest of the tennis club members of Lihai University couldn't come so far to watch their game.
In contrast to the disunity of the members of the Vine Pastoral Academy, who harbored ulterior motives, everyone from Lihai University was united and working hard for their ultimate goal of becoming the champion of the National League.
After the single number three match ended, it was time for the double number two match. The double number two of Lihai University was composed of Maori Shousaburo and Liu Lianji. As for the Makinoshi Academy, they sent Kato Kazujo.
"We must win this game.”Kato Kazujo of the Makinoshi Academy swore in his heart that they must win this match and let the tennis club see who was truly useless.
Compared to Li Hai, Da Xiao Chen and the others, the strength of the Vine Pastoral Academy's students was only second-rate. However, this was no surprise. After all, thirty years passed, and thirty years passed. No school would always stand at the top.
A few years ago, the Vine Shepherd Academy was able to dominate the entire country because of the powerful people like Phoenix from the School of Fairness. Now that they had graduated, the strength of the Vine Shepherd Academy was rapidly declining.
On the other hand, with the addition of Xiao Chen and Yukimura, they would be the ones to dominate the country. The next three years would be the era of Lihai University.
As soon as the match began, the second player from the Shepherd's Vine Academy started their fierce attacks. They wanted to defeat Li Hai in one go, but unfortunately, their hopes were dashed.
Rikai University's Maori Shousaburo and Liu Lianji faced the opponent's fierce attacks. They were calm and steady, and their defense was airtight. They did not give the opponent a chance to score. Instead, they would take small waves of attacks while defending, and they forcefully snatched points from the opponent's hands.
Mu Zhiteng's number two double player saw that their fierce attacks were ineffective and immediately felt anxious. Seeing that their points were continuously losing, he became even more anxious. The originally coordinated doubles became chaotic because of the urgency.
As a result, Maori Shousaburo and Liu Lianji found an opportunity to snatch another round from them.
Maori Shousaburo and Ryu Renji's doubles were average and not outstanding, but they were just right every time. They were not in a hurry to end the game. Instead, they treated the game as a game. Watching their opponents lose points one by one, they felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
"The match has ended. The score is 6:1. Lihai University High School wins.”
With Maori Shousaburo and Liu Lianji holding back their strength and going easy on them, the second player of the double from the Makino Vine Academy finally won a round. He didn't lose his head, and he could be considered to have saved some face.
The Vine Shepherd Academy had lost two matches in a row, causing the other schools to be surprised. The Vine Shepherd Academy was the runner-up of last year's National League, and Li Hai University was only in the top eight of last year's National League. Now, the Vine Shepherd Academy had been beaten by Li Hai University. This was simply unbelievable.
"The Shepherd's Vine Academy actually lost so badly. Looks like a dark horse will appear this year. The strength of this Lihai University has actually increased so much.”
"Who says so! Moreover, most of the official members of Lihai University this year were first-year students. Since when did first-year students have such strong strength? They were probably going to defy the heavens!”
The students from the other schools felt strange about this. They also saw Lihai University as their rival for the National League.
The Shepherd's Vine Academy had lost two matches in a row, so the next match was especially important. If they also lost the second match, then they would lose today's match against Lihai University, and their journey in the National League would be over.
After the second match started, Tezuka took his tennis racket and walked into the court. He sighed in his heart. He didn't expect to be able to step onto the stage of the national competition when he was still in his first year of junior high school. This was all because he entered Lihai University.
If he hadn't entered Lihai University back then and had stayed at Qing Xue, perhaps he would only be able to pick up balls in the tennis club. Moreover, with Qing Xue's strength, it would be very difficult for them to even participate in the Kanto Grand Tournament, let alone the National League.
Tezuka's opponent was the Vice President of the Vine Shepherd Academy, Noda. It was said that his strength was second only to the President of the Vine Shepherd Academy. However, this didn't matter. No matter what, he was just a second-rate trash. In front of Tezuka, he would only be instantly killed.
"Little brats from Lihai University, don't be too arrogant. Don't think that you can be proud just because you won two matches. From now on, we will fight seriously. You should be prepared to lose!”The Vice Minister of the Vine Pastoral Academy, Noda, started spouting nonsense, shocking everyone.
How could there be such a shameless person in the world! This was simply shameless to the extreme, making all the members of Lihai University speechless. Tezuka directly turned into an ice mountain, and the cold air on his body continued to release wildly.
"Tezuka, quickly destroy him! I don't want to see such a third-rate trash dangling in front of me again.”Xiao Chen had a look of despair on his face as he waved his hand weakly at Tezuka.
"Let the match begin. Tachiumi Otezuka will serve!”
Tezuka served, and he directly hit a close-up shot. The ball landed directly on the corner of the opponent's court, not a single point more, not a single point less. His control of the ball was very strong. Makinofuji's Noda had no way to deal with Tezuka's close-up shot. He could only watch as Tezuka scored.
Tezuka had only used that shot to test his opponent's strength. Now that his opponent could not even receive his serve, it was obvious that his strength was not very strong. There was no need for him to use the zero-style serve, which was very taxing on his wrist.
With four shots from the near corners, each ball accurately landed on the corners. Tezuka won the game. As the deputy minister of the Makinoshi Vine team, Noda's strength was not bad, but compared to Tezuka, he was far inferior.
Although Xiao Chen and the others were only first-year students, under Xiao Chen's influence, Tezuka and Yukomura had already reached 80% of their third-year strength.
After one round, Tezuka had basically figured out his opponent's strength. He did not use any other moves in the following matches. He only used Tezuka's Domain to easily defeat his opponent and win the match.
After winning all three matches, Lihai University directly advanced. However, because of the rules of the National League, they had to play five matches. Whether they won or lost, they had to play five matches.
Thus, even if the Vine Shepherd Academy had lost the competition, they had no choice but to continue competing. This was because there was no way to forfeit in the National League. Even if they lost, they had to finish all five matches.
"I really didn't expect that last year's national competition runner-up, the Vine Shepherd Academy, would actually lose to Lihai University, and lose so badly.”
"It's not without a trace that Mu Zhiteng lost. Although Mu Zhiteng was last year's national runner-up, those honors were achieved by Mu Zhiteng's seniors who had graduated. Mu Zhiteng's main team members last year had all graduated, and the current team members don't have the strength of those seniors last year, so it's only natural that they lost.”
The defeat of the Vine Shepherd Academy made the contestants from the other schools sigh. Once upon a time, the Vine Shepherd Academy was also the overlord of the country. They had even won the National League twice in a row. Although their strength had decreased last year, they still won the national runner-up.
They didn't expect to be eliminated in the first round of this year's National League. They wondered if the seniors who had already graduated from Mu Zhiteng would be so angry that they would vomit blood if they knew about this.
Mu Zhiteng had already lost the match, but due to the rules of the National League, he still had to finish the last two matches. However, it was clear that Mu Zhiteng was not interested in the last two matches and was very perfunctory.
Therefore, Daisuke Hayami and Toshio Inoue, who were the double number one players, as well as Yukimura, who was the single number one player, easily won the game with a score of 6:0.
At this point, Lihai University had successfully advanced with all five victories. After defeating last year's national runner-up, Mu Zhiteng, Lihai University had also aroused the vigilance of the other schools. In their eyes, this year's Lihai University was definitely a strong opponent for them.
Although everyone from Lihai University was very happy after winning the first match, they didn't relax because there were still many strong opponents waiting for them. Only by defeating those strong opponents could they win the National League.
