The Journey of the Light-type Superpower

Chapter 128: Tennis King's Capital Tournament 4

For the next two goals, Kikumaru almost stood still, relying entirely on Oishi's support as he ran around the court.

When Kikumaru announced "Charging Completed" with full energy two minutes later, Zhaolan and Yuko's eyes lit up at the same time: "Kikumaru, so cute!"

Kikumaru, who regained his spirits, worked well with Oishi, and the two worked together to gradually tie the score.

In previous competitions, Kikumaru's lively performance always attracted more attention, while Oishi, as the hero behind the scenes, was often overlooked.

But today's match allowed everyone to see Oishi's indispensable value as a golden partner.

Unfortunately, Kikumaru's physical strength had already been exhausted, and he relied almost entirely on willpower to support himself. In the end, they lost by one point, and St. Rudolph won the game.

But there is no doubt that this was a fantastic match.

It is worth mentioning that the other doubles player of the opponent, Kaneda, has similar abilities to Oishi and is also an excellent supporting player.

When his partner Akazawa was in emotional turmoil, it was Kaneda who stabilized his emotions in time.

Kaneda was a meticulous observer, and when Kikumaru and Oishi deployed their new formation, he relied on his keen insight to detect their flaw at that moment.

The final winning goal was also due to Jintian's keen capture of the opportunity at that moment, which helped their team win the game.

Jintian played an indispensable role in this victory.

The next singles match is about to begin, and the third singles player sent by St. Rudolph is Yuta.

Yuko looked around but didn't see Yuta. Zhaolan smiled mischievously and said, "I saw him~. He went out with a short guy. He must have gone to warm up."

"I...I didn't ask him..." Yuko's cheeks blushed slightly.

"Then I'll go get some water. Do you want to come with me?" Seeing Yuko hesitate, Zhao Lan directly took her hand and said, "Let's go. Don't dawdle. I'm thirsty!"

"Wait...wait a minute!"

Zhao Lan pulled her away without saying anything. After the two bought water from the vending machine, Zhao Lan opened the "circle" and quickly locked onto Yuta who was warming up with his teammates.

Pulling Yuko over there, they happened to see Yuta hit a return shot with amazing power.

Others were only amazed at the power of the ball, but Zhao Lan keenly noticed the unnatural movement of his arm when he swung the racket - the ball just now was hit with extremely strong side spin and top spin, a combination of the two to increase the power of this ball.

To hit this shot, the player's wrist and forearm must be strongly rotated inward.

Perhaps in order to create a tricky bounce, Yuta's swing just now contained some unnatural twisting force.

Excessive wrist compression and arm swinging, such force-generating movements, if used for a long time, can cause tendonitis or elbow injury.

Just like some tennis players nowadays have the unique tennis elbow.

Zhao Lan glanced at the rest area of ​​St. Rudolph's. Manager Guanyue... Does he know that using this trick frequently will hurt his arm?

The two were just about to walk over when they saw someone coming over there. It was none other than Fuji Shusuke.

"Yuta, this is your brother." The boy with Yuta saw Fuji Shusuke coming over and whispered to Yuta beside him.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Yuta so angry!

Seeing that the two brothers over there seemed to need to talk alone, Zhao Lan pulled Yuko away quietly.

The person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, so let the two brothers communicate on their own.

"Hey, you guys are here today too!" A hearty greeting suddenly came from above my head.

The two looked up and saw that it was Sengoku Kiyomizu, who was sitting on the roof and waving at them boredly.

Not far over there, Jin Akutsu was standing there impatiently with his hands in his pockets, looking like "don't mess with me".

When he saw the two people looking at him, his expression was slightly stunned, and it was hard to tell whether he nodded or not.

Yuko looked up and exclaimed, "It's you! How did you climb so high!"

"Hello you all!"

Zhao Lan also smiled and greeted them. She accidentally glanced at the staff over there looking at this place. She turned to Qian Shiqingchun and smiled: "Be careful or you will be scolded by the teacher~!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a roar came from a distance: "That student! What are you doing there? Get down here right now!"

"You guys are really..." What a crow's mouth!

As Qianshi hurriedly climbed down, Zhao Lan asked, "Is your competition over? Did you meet any interesting players?"

Akutsu sneered over there, and Sengoku thought of his opponent who had just come on the court and was so scared by Akutsu that he had a stomachache and gave up, and he shrugged helplessly.

"Okay," Zhao Lan also remembered the schedule he had seen before, and Yamabuki Junior High School's opponent.

Hearing the sound of someone running quickly from the left, Zhao Lan turned around and saw that it was the short boy he had seen that day, Tan Taichi.

Dan Taichi ran over breathlessly: "Senior Sengoku, Senior Akutsu, why are you still here? The coach is looking for you everywhere!"

When he ran over, he saw Yuko and Zhao Lan, "Eh? Lan... Lan-san, and Miss Kotori Yu, you are here too."

Her fans usually don't call her by her last name, but by Arashi. So Dan Taichi just called her by her first name, after all, he was younger than her, so he added a honorific at the end.

"Tan Taichi, hello too. I remember that Yamabuki Junior High School's next game is against Ginka Junior High School, right? Come on, good luck in the game later!"

"Thank you!"

Seeing the people walking away, Yuko thought of the people from Yinhua Middle School she had met before: "I remember Yinhua Middle School..."

When Yuko said this, Zhao Lan also remembered that group of people who seemed to be here to make fun of him.

After a short delay here, the two returned to the Qingxue competition field.

The next game is very crucial for Seigaku and St. Rudolph. The team that wins this game will directly get a place in the Kanto Tournament.

The Kanto Tournament is a regional competition, with strong schools from Tokyo and surrounding prefectures (Kanagawa, Chiba, etc.) competing against each other. Only the winning team in the Kanto Tournament will advance to the national competition.

When the two of them went back, Fuji Shusuke had already returned. When he saw her coming, Fuji smiled and waved to them.

Zhao Lan looked at him in surprise, "You are not the one who can win the singles match!"

She and Yuko arrived late and did not see the grouping. They thought it was a duel between the two brothers.

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "The third singles player is Echizen."

The game officially started, and after the players entered the venue, they found out that the third singles player was Echizen.

From the whispers of the people over there, she realized that Yuta was actually a contestant known as the Left-handed Killer.

"That Echizen, I'm afraid it's going to be bad this time."

"Fuji Yuta is left-handed himself, and I heard that he has done special training for this. As for Echizen, I don't think I've heard of him. Does he have experience fighting against left-handed people?"

"I heard that St. Rudolph was originally trained to deal with Tezuka, but now I don't know why it has been replaced by this first-year."

Apart from the people on their side, many people watching the game around seemed not to be optimistic about Echizen.

But Zhao Lan thought of Echizen's father. She remembered that the famous samurai back then seemed to be a left-handed two-sword style warrior, right?
