SWNOVELXO Chapter 162 Victory in the first set
On the court at this moment, although it was a tiebreaker, the score was once again 6 to 5, with Tokugawa Kazuya leading by one goal. The next ball will be the key. If Tokugawa scores another ball, then he will win the tiebreaker, which means he takes the first set.
However, it was Byodoin who served next.
Byodoin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked calmly at the solemn Tokugawa across from him. He remembered what Tokugawa said before the game, "Becoming the No. 1 representative of the representative team", and then a slightly ferocious expression appeared on his face. 'Although... my performance is okay... I won't lose! And your goal is only to be No. 1 on the representative team... you are really insignificant! ’
Thinking like this, Byodoin looked at it as a "light" swing, and the tennis ball flew towards Tokugawa with a dazzling light.
Seeing the oncoming 'light ball' that exuded a powerful threat, Tokugawa Kazuya's expression became more solemn. He once again changed from holding the racket with one hand to holding it with two hands, and then directly faced it with a tennis racket.
Relying on the strength of his hands, Tokugawa held on for about three to five seconds. Then because the force of the tennis ball was too strong, Tokugawa couldn't hold the racket anymore and had to drop the racket to the ground.
The originally intercepted tennis ball hit the wall hard, destroying half of the wall.
Tokugawa...because he was concentrating on intercepting the 'light ball', some blood oozed from his face.
"That ball... is so strong!"
"There is such a big hole in the wall...if it hits someone...it will hurt so much!"
"Yes, yes! Is this considered violent tennis?"
"Isn't this just powerful? What does it have to do with violent tennis? Violent tennis only refers to those who deliberately hit other people's body parts with the ball!"
……
Seeing the destroyed half of the wall, the onlookers outside the venue started talking.
While everyone was talking outside the court, the referee announced that Tokugawa had won the first set. Although Tokugawa did not successfully counterattack Byodo-in's tennis ball, Byodo-in's tennis ball hit the wall directly outside the court and was ruled out of bounds. So the point for this goal was awarded to Tokugawa.
"Tokugawa won the tie-break. The score in the first set was 7-6. The winner is Tokugawa Kazuya on Court No. !"
With the referee's decision, Germany won the first set.
……
This guy... Onijujiro gritted his teeth and looked at Byodoin Phoenix, who still didn't seem to care much even though he lost a game. "He did it on purpose!" Onijujiro didn't believe that this would happen with the strength of Byodoin. mistake... Then, what he wants to do is very simple...
Irie on the side also looked like a ghost, with a somewhat unkind expression, but he quickly adjusted it, "It's obvious that Byodoin just wants to humiliate Tokugawa... However, if he continues like this, sooner or later he will be counterattacked~ "Even if it's not Tokugawa, there will be others... These junior high school students this year are not simple guys!
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Irie Jiang's eyes.
And on the court at this time...
"It seems... I accidentally made a mistake~" Byodoin's careless voice sounded in Tokugawa's ears.
Tokugawa looked at the small yellow ball embedded in the stones that fell from the damaged wall with fear in his eyes. He didn't care at all about Byodoin's words. He had long learned how to ignore Byodoin at the U-17 base for so long. Although some sarcastic words cannot be completely ignored...but there are always one or two times out of ten that can be successful.
"Hmph~" Looking at Tokugawa's expressionless face, Byodoin snorted coldly and turned towards the bench.
……
Due to the damage to the venue, the rest time this time was slightly longer than before, but for the staff, they were cleaning up the venue as quickly as possible.
"The opportunity has come, are you ready?" In the rest area, Oni Jujiro's voice rang in Tokugawa's ears. Tokugawa looked up and found that Oni and Irie had walked up to him at some point.
After hearing Oni Jujiro's words, Tokugawa subconsciously reached out and touched his chest... The injuries left by helping Echizen Ryoma resist the Byodoin attack that night still ached...
As for the injury on his face today... it actually just looked a little scary. To be honest, it would have no impact on the rest of the game.
Tokugawa glanced at the staff who were cleaning up the site, and then replied, "It's almost time for him to take action... half an hour is almost enough."
Tokugawa did not tell Onijujiro and Irie about his chest injury, so the two did not know that someone planned to drive a 'black hole' that would cause great damage to the body despite his poor health. Court beating.
The Byodo-in across the street glanced at the three of them from a distance, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth... Kindness cannot give you the victory you long for.
……
While the junior high school students outside the window were still immersed in the destructive power caused by Byodo-in's 'light ball', the gravel and other debris on the field had almost been cleared.
The referee team, who did not want to give the two more rest time, announced the continuation of the second set the moment the staff left.
"Court No. 1 Tokugawa Kazuya VS Ijun Byodoin Phoenix, the second set has officially begun!" As the referee finished his words, Byodoin Phoenix and Tokugawa Kazuya stepped onto the court one after another.
"Are you ready? Next, I'll let you see... what world-class power is..." Byodoin asked seemingly kindly. But the only answer he received was Tokugawa's cold eyes.
After hearing Byodoin's words, Tokugawa, who didn't want to say anything more, just replied, "Let's get started!" After all, world-class power... he had been looking forward to it for a long time!
……
Outside the field, looking at the confrontation between Byodoin and Tokugawa, Irie couldn't help but worry. A little uncertainty flashed in his eyes, "Ghost...you said, Tokugawa's 'black hole' can really defend Byodoin." 'Pirate'?"
Even if we can defend against the 'pirates'... but how to defend against the next 'world pirates'...!
Although Irie did have a lot of confidence in Tokugawa at the beginning, he seemed to wake up in an instant after the 'light strike' from Byodoin...
The strength of Tokugawa and Byodo-in are not at the same level. Even though Tokugawa has mastered the 'Black Hole' and has initially entered the Ashura Shinto... But now compared with Byodo-in, who is already in the second stage of a different dimension... it is still a bit... disparity.
Thinking of this, Ruijiang sighed quietly.
