SWNOVELXO Chapter 169
0169 Beijiang is on the field?! Shiraishi is under pressure! The battle between the two divisions!!
“Because Shitenhoji Ishida Gin cannot continue the competition!”
“In this doubles match number two, Shitenhoji gave up!”
“The winner is……Fudomine Junior High School Tetsu Ishida and Akira Kamio!”
“The total score is 2-0!”
“The next game is for Fudomine Junior High School. Please prepare for the game!”
As Ishida Gin’s arm was simply bandaged, he was carried out of the court by the medical team.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke found the referee and had no choice but to give up.
There was no other way!
Although the initial diagnosis of Ishida Gin’s arm was that it was just a skin injury.
But the wound was too deep and he had to go to the hospital for sutures.
If he forced to continue the game, it would inevitably make the injury worse!
And even if Ken Oshitani continued the game, Fudomine would only have one player on the court.
He was no match for either Akira Kamio or Tetsuya Ishida!
In addition to the 5-0 score difference,……
Forfeit, not unfair!
After the referee announced that the No. 2 doubles player of Shitenboji forfeited
“Shitenhoji Temple……To lose…….”
I don’t know who was the first to speak in the audience.
For a moment, the middle school students in the audience fell into silence for half a minute.
Obviously, they had expected this result.
“Hey! Fudo Peak won again! I feel like Fudo Peak is like a train running at full speed. Which team stands in their way?……It’s all the same result!”
“Yes! I really don’t know how they train! Why are they all so scary! Whether it’s Chitose Chisato in the first game, or Kenya Oshitari and Gin Ishida in the second game, among players of the same level,……It’s all the result of being crushed!”
“I’ve heard that the players at Fudo Peak are the best at the same level…….It’s true!!”
“Ishida Tetsu’s last wave ball was so terrifying! It actually broke Ishida Gin’s racket!! What kind of power is that?!”
“Kansai! Don’t think we are making fun of you! Fudomine has been wreaking havoc in Kanto since the regional qualifiers! You guys should also learn from it!”
“……”
The”comfort” from the junior high school students in the Kanto region made the junior high school students in the Kansai region look extremely frustrated.
But what can they do?!
Shitenhoji is already the champion of this year’s Kansai Conference. Its comprehensive strength is the strongest among all the teams in the Kansai region, whether they admit it or not.
And now!
The national-level Chitose Chisato lost.
The star of Naniwa, Ken Oshitari, also lost.
Ishida Gin, the most powerful player in Kansai and even a threat to national-level players, also lost!
If this still cannot make them realize the gap in strength, then they are too stupid.
Inside the competition stadium.
The haze has already appeared in the hearts of every Kansai player.
Kansai’s last”only seedling” is probably destined to not be able to step onto the court of this year’s national conference finals.
In addition to blaming their lack of strength, they can only blame their bad luck.
If they hadn’t met this unrivaled Fudomine team,……
Maybe there is still a chance!!
At the same time.
In the Shitenhoji players’ booth.
Watanabe Shu and others also leaned back in their chairs with a headache.
“It’s over, it’s over! Yuji! We’re going to lose! Wuuuuuu!”Golden Koharu said with a sad face and a crying voice.
Ichiuji Yuji also lowered his head.
As a pair of”lively treasures” in the team, the two now don’t know how to liven up the atmosphere in the team.
The most important thing is that they are ranked No. 1 in doubles.
Even if they want to help the team win the game, it may not be their turn.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke sat in his seat with an extremely serious expression.
Watanabe Osamu beside him could clearly hear the other party taking deep breaths and adjusting his mentality for the upcoming game.
In the next singles No. 2 match, the player who will play in Shitenhoji is the opponent.
The captain of Shitenhoji Tennis Club!
Shiraishi Kuranosuke.
“Snapped!”
“Shiraishi, calm down!”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke let out a long breath and forced a smile.
He turned to look at Watanabe Shu who was patting his shoulder.
“Ah Xiu! Don’t worry! I will never let Shitenboji lose here!”
“As the minister, I must make Shitenboji Temple…..Bring them into the finals!”
Kenya Oshitari and the others looked at Shiraishi Kuranosuke who said this with complicated expressions.
Watanabe Osamu’s brows tightened even more.
The more Shiraishi Kuranosuke reacted like this, the more they felt that he was wrong.
The other party was undoubtedly an extremely responsible minister who was respected by everyone in Shitenhoji.
But they didn’t want to put too much pressure on the other party.
Singles No. 3 and Doubles No. 2 lost.
This also means that if Shitenhoji wants to defeat Fudomine, it must win three games in a row in the positions of singles No. 2, doubles No. 1 and singles No. 1!!
Even if there is hope in your heart, as long as the game has not been played, there is still a possibility of winning.
But……
The national-level players known to Fudomine include Kunimitsu Tezuka, Jin Akutsu, and Kintaro Toyama!……
The entire Kanto region team was intimidated by this!
Even the”Son of God” Yukimura Seiichi had to take it seriously, and took it seriously enough to challenge Beijiang.
The probability of Shitenhoji winning was too low!!
“Shiraishi, promotion is important, but as a coach, I hope you can keep a calm mind and face the next game!”
“You, Kenya, Gin, and everyone else!”
“Your tennis journey has just begun! Don’t……”
“Ah Xiu! I understand what you mean. I will finish this game well! Believe me!”
When Shiraishi Kuranosuke interrupted Watanabe Xiu’s words, the firm look in his eyes made Watanabe Xiu lower his head helplessly.
The latter knew that it would be useless to say anything now.���It worked.
The person who finally stood on the court to play was Shiraishi Kuranosuke himself!
In the Fudomine players’ booth.
When Ishida Tetsu and Kamio Akira returned, they were treated completely differently.
Although the former had injured his brother, fortunately the problem was not serious.
With a smile on his face, he was pulled to his seat by Ibu Shinji and others to rest. The latter was stared at by Hanamura Aoi and John.
Neither of them scolded him.
Kamio Akira stood obediently at the side of the players’ bench.
If you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment, and you cannot escape it even if you win.
This is the rule!
However, Kamio Akira did not complain, because he just wanted to help his teammates.
The punishment of standing and running was nothing to him.
Seeing that he was punished even after winning the game, many junior high school students in the audience looked at the Fudomine players’ booth with very strange eyes.
In their eyes, the mystery of Fudomine began to rise sharply again.
A few minutes later.
Amid the whispers of the audience who had not yet subsided.
The referee stood on the court and announced loudly:”The third game! Singles No. 2!”
“The Northern Front of Fudomine Junior High School will face Shiraishi Kuranosuke of Shitenhoji!”
“This match is for Fudomine Junior High School!”
“”Both players enter the court!”
Silence.
Deathly silence.
The junior high school students in the audience who were discussing the semi-finals just now, all shut their mouths at this moment.
Inoue Mamoru, who was holding a camera, also stiffened for a moment.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who was already holding a racket and ready to play, and Watanabe Osamu and others.
They turned their heads suddenly and locked their eyes on the figure who stood up slowly in the Fudomine player’s seat.
“Ta-ta-ta——”
The huge competition stadium. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Holding a racket, Beijiang walked onto the court step by step and became the focus of the audience. With a calm look and a gentle pace.
The head of the Fudomine tennis club!
With his own efforts, he brought the Fudomine team to the top of the pyramid at the national conference, where no one dared to look down on him.
This man……[]
She was the second singles player in this match?!
When Beijiang stood at one end of the net on the court, he turned his head and looked at the players’ bench at Shitenbo Temple.
“If I heard correctly, my opponent should be you, right? Shiraishi Kuranosuke……”
“If you don’t play, you’ll be disqualified…….”
Beijiang’s lips moved slightly and he spoke softly.
His voice was not loud, but in the silence of the whole stadium, it reached the ears of almost everyone in the stadium.
“Gulu——”
When Shiraishi Kuranosuke was called by Kitakyo, he subconsciously stood up and swallowed.
Nervous!!
Or rather, he felt pressure that he had never felt before!!
This pressure came from Kitakyo’s gaze.
From the current situation of Shitenhoji.
From the sense of responsibility as the head of Shitenhoji.
And even more from the man who was about to face him, who had never shown his full strength, but had already made Fudomine and other geniuses bow down to him, and who was feared by the entire Japanese junior high school tennis world.
“Shiraishi……” Be careful!”
Watanabe Osamu came to his senses and said in a deep voice before Shiraishi Kuranosuke took a step.
Before the game started, he already knew that Shiraishi Kuranosuke would face the most difficult game in his three years of junior high school…….
Even if he trusted the other party,
Watanabe Osamu was not sure if the other party could hold on!
And the biggest possibility that he could hold on was probably because the young man on the court did not want to make things too difficult for Shiraishi Kuranosuke!
“”Huh!”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke’s politeness and upbringing made it rare for him to not respond.
But now, he obviously had no extra thinking ability.
Apart from taking a deep breath, he tried to calm the turbulent waves in his mind. He took a very firm step onto the court.
He could no longer spare any thoughts and responded to Watanabe Osamu.
It took less than 20 seconds of walking.
When Shiraishi Kuranosuke stood in front of the net, facing Kitakyo with a faint smile on his face across the net.
“Minister of Northern Xinjiang……I didn’t expect you to play singles number two!”
“I have to say, this caught me off guard!”
Beijiang said softly:”I thought you would guess this result…….”
“After all, given the current situation of your Shitenboji! You confessed to me that Chitose Chisato would be the third in singles and Ishida Gin would be the second in doubles. In addition to being the key second in singles,……”
“There seems to be no choice!”
“In the entire Shitenbo Temple, you are the only person who interests me a little bit!”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke’s eyes flickered.
Obviously, he didn’t expect that Beijiang knew much more about Shitenbo Temple than he thought.
He also didn’t expect that Beijiang’s purpose was to find him.
“Perhaps Fudo Peak can only reach this point today under the leadership of you, the minister!”
“Then, please teach me more!”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke stretched out his hand and said solemnly.
Kitakami smiled and shook his hand:”Okay!”
After that, the two turned around and walked towards their respective baseline positions.
The conversation between the two was undoubtedly heard by all the junior high school students.
“I’ll tell you!! Shitenhoji and Fudomine must have agreed to a duel in private! But Kitakyo is really amazing! Just based on the appearance positions of Chitose Chisato and Ishida Gin, it was expected that Shiraishi Kuranosuke would play in the second singles match!”
“I can only say that Beijiang’s mind is more meticulous than that of the average junior high school student!”
“I don’t care! This is a two-part battle in the semi-finals!! The match between Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Kitakyo……It can also be said to be a competition between the top junior high school tennis players!!”
“Idiot! Why do you think Shiraishi Kuranosuke can be a rival to Beijiang?”
“National……Not to mention that Beijiang shut out a national-level player like Atobe Keigo at the Metropolitan Conference! Even the players he led had no idea how many national-level players they had defeated!”
“Yes!! I am afraid that except for Yukimura Seiichi, no one else is qualified to stand across from Beijiang’s court and become his opponent!”
“Don’t underestimate Shiraishi Kuranosuke! Maybe he can win the game against Beijiang? Even if it’s just one game…….I’m afraid it’s better than most national-level players, right?”
“……”
Inside the Fudomine players’ booth, when Akutsu Jin heard those junior high school students speculating whether Shiraishi Kuranosuke could score against Kitakyo, his eyes twitched.
“These fish……What a bold idea!”
His words undoubtedly represent the innermost thoughts of everyone in Fudo Peak.
Don’t be ridiculous!! Take the score from your own minister!?
Even the high school students of the U-17 of the United States.
Even Dudu and Chico dare not say such a thing.
Not to mention Shiraishi Kuranosuke……
Even if the captain faced four Shiraishi Kuranosuke at the same time, the result of this game would still be the same!!
The gap in strength can no longer be made up by the number of people.
In the Shitenhoji player’s bench.
Watanabe Osamu and his friends (the good kings) also locked their eyes on Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Kitakyo.
“Ah Xiu, do you think Shiraishi has a chance?”
“Even if the chance is very small, the probability of winning shouldn’t be zero, right?!”
“Yes! Ah Xiu! If Shiraishi is shut out, he will find it hard to bear it!”
Kenya Oshizuka and the others could not help but start to worry.
The crucial singles match No. 2!
Once Shiraishi Kuranosuke loses, the opponent may not only feel that it is his responsibility as the captain.
If the score is the same as that of Hyotei Academy’s Atobe Keigo, he will be shut out.
That will be another huge blow!
Kenya Oshizuka and the others are really afraid that Shiraishi Kuranosuke will be extremely frustrated after this game.
Watanabe Osamu bit off the toothpick in his mouth with a headache.
He frowned and spoke in a deep voice:”The strength of Northern Xinjiang has always been a mystery!”
“Judging from the information currently available, the strength of Tezuka Kunimitsu in the Fudomine team should be second only to Kitakyuuni!”
“This also means that Tezuka Kunimitsu’s strength is the lower limit of Northern Xinjiang!”
“This lower limit……Defeated Genichirō Sanada at the Kanto Tournament……”
Watanabe Osamu’s answer made Ken’ya Oshiro pale. Although this conversion method may not be rigorous , it is enough to prove something.
Although Shiraishi Kuranosuke is very strong, he is still not able to ignore the strength of Sanada Genichirō.
“unless……”
But at this moment, Watanabe Osamu spoke again in a tangled manner.
Oshitari Kenya and the others’ eyes lit up, and they hurriedly said in unison:”Ah Shu! Unless what?!”
But Watanabe Osamu frowned, and did not intend to answer them.
This was a secret that he and Shiraishi Kuranosuke had kept for nearly three years!
He could not help but cast his eyes on Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who was already standing at the baseline of the serve with his left hand wrapped in bandages.
Shiraishi……
If you can!
I hope you will never make this choice!……Just a little bit more!!!
