Prince of Tennis Tai Chi

Chapter 41 In-school Ranking Competition

"Tezuka, how are you thinking about it? About the school ranking competition..."

In the coach's office, Coach Ryuzaki is discussing the roster for the school ranking tournament with Tezuka and Oishi.

Standing by the window, looking at the tennis club training downstairs, Tezuka said nothing.

"Tezuka..."

Dashi couldn't help shouting.

"Coach, I have already arranged the list for the school ranking competition. Here is the ranking list."

After handing the list to Coach Ryuzaki, Tezuka left the office alone.

"Tezuka..."

Looking at Tezuka leaving, Oishi shouted again.

‘As expected of you, Tezuka, you have already arranged everything. ’

Looking at Tezuka's ranking list, a mysterious smile appeared on Coach Ryuzaki's face.

"Is that so?"

......

"What are you looking at?"

Taocheng, who had walked all the way from the classroom, and Li Zhe saw a bunch of people surrounding the bulletin board as soon as they walked to the stadium. They didn't know what they were doing.

"It's Senior Momojo."

Katsuro, who was pulled out of the crowd by Momojo, saw it was Momojo, touched his head and said embarrassedly.

At this time, Horio Daisen jumped out.

"Senior Momo City, Senior Li Zhizhi, the list for the school ranking competition has come out. We were just looking at who was on it."

"Yeah." (This is Katsuo.)

"Oh? Really? Then I want to take a good look."

After saying that, Taocheng squeezed towards the bulletin board.

"Let me see who is there."

Tao Cheng craned his neck and scanned the list.

"Found it. Takeshi Momoro, Group C."

After searching for a while, he finally found his name, and Taocheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then there's Azhe."

"Where? Where?"

......

"Ah! Azhe, you are here, Group A."

After saying that, he reached out and pulled Li Zhe next to him, motioning him to look at the ranking list.

Li Zhe looked down the ranking list and saw Tezuka and Kawamura in his group.

"That's it."

Looking at the opponents he might encounter, Li Zhe fell into thinking.

"It's quite interesting, though, isn't it?"

Li Zhe raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured softly.

Just when the two of them were about to leave the crowd after reading the ranking list, they suddenly heard the voice of Horio.

"Look, Echizen, your name is also on it."

"Really, Ryoma, you can also participate in the ranking competition."

Katsuro, Katsuro continued with envy.

After hearing their words, Taocheng, who was about to withdraw from the crowd, returned to the top of the ranking list.

As for Li Zhe?

(Li Zhe: Ha... What's so strange about Echizen Ryoma's name on it? It would be outrageous if his name wasn't on the ranking list.)

"Really? I'm up there too."

Echizen Ryoma, who originally didn't care about such things, heard what Horio and the other three said and squeezed in front of the bulletin board.

"Kid, that's not bad. Like me, you're in Group C."

Momoro, who turned back to look at the ranking list, patted Echizen Ryoma who squeezed in and said to him with a smile.

"Oh, it turns out that you, senior, are also in Group C."

"You kid..."

Seeing Echizen Ryoma looking like he was in need of a beating, Momoshiro felt that his fist was instantly hardened.

Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...

After taking several deep breaths, I finally resisted the urge to punch this guy.

"Kid, don't be eliminated early. I'm waiting to see your off-spin serve."

"You should leave these words to yourself, senior."

Echizen Ryoma replied with a cold face.

......

"Damn it, why is this first-year kid up there?"

Not far away from several people, Arai looked at Echizen Ryoma in the crowd with cold eyes.

"Calm down, Arai."

"Yes, Arai. The list is made by the president. It's useless what you say here."

Arai's friend comforted him.

"Damn brat, in this ranking competition, I must let you know what 'respecting seniors' means."

"First-year guys should pick up the ball calmly."

It turned out that Arai was also assigned to Group C in this school ranking competition.

......

Since the announcement of the roster for the school ranking tournament, everyone in the tennis club has become visibly nervous.

Of course, this does not include Li Zhe. He is still training, resting, resting and training as usual.

......

"This time Qing Xue's intra-school ranking competition, we must take photos, did you hear me, Saori?"

"I understand, Inoue-senpai. Don't worry."

On the day of the school ranking competition, the two Inoues arrived at Qingxue early.

"I heard that Qingxue has a first-year student in this school ranking competition, Inoue-senpai."

Saori said while holding a camera and taking pictures of the surroundings.

"Oh? First grade? Do you know his name?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it, that first-year freshman seems to be named Echizen Ryoma."

Saori put her index finger on her chin, raised her head, thought for a while and then replied.

"Echizen? This last name...is it?"

Inoue remembered his previous conversation with Coach Ryuzaki, and then without saying a word, Inoue sped towards the court.

When passing Court No. 6, Li Zhe had just ended the game with 0:.

"Huh? Sure enough, at this time, how can we miss them?"

Looking at Inoue and Saori walking over, Li Zhe showed a mysterious smile.

"Right now... it's Echizen Ryoma's match. Do you want to go and see it?"

Li Zhe then packed up his things and came to Court No. 3.

"Is this match Echizen vs. Arai?"

Li Zhe, who came to Court No. 3, looked at the scoreboard.

boom...

'Damn little brat, I want you to look good next. ’

Arai thought this as he looked at Echizen Ryoma in front of him who was preparing to serve.

While he was dazed, the tennis ball flew past his feet.

"15:0, lead ahead."

"Yeah, Ryoma scored first, Sakurano."

How could it be possible to miss Echizen Ryoma’s number one fan, Tomoka Kosakata, at this time?

When the referee announced the score, she danced excitedly.

"Tomoka..."

Looking at the extremely excited Tomoka, Ryuzaki Sakurano shouted, and then once again turned her attention to someone she had been paying attention to.

Not only were the two of them watching Echizen Ryoma's match, but the Horio trio were also standing aside.

But compared to Tomoka, Sakurano and the others were cheering for Ryoma. Horio seemed more like he was being sarcastic, but the target of the sarcasm was Arai.

"Katsuro, Katsuro, look, this senior can't even catch the ball."

However, he didn't dare to say it loudly, so he just whispered in Katsuro Katsuro's ear.

"Senior, it's not good to be distracted during the game."

Still in such an arrogant tone.

"Senior, did you see that the ball is so fast?"

Saori said while holding the camera.

"Ah."

But Inoue just replied with a single word.

‘If it’s really what I think, this is just the beginning. ’

Looking at the two people in the field, Saori picked up the camera and started taking photos frantically. Of course, most of them are photos of Echizen Ryoma.

"Damn it, you brat, I was just careless just now. Don't be arrogant."

Arai tightened the racket in his hand and said harshly.

"Oh, really? Then one more goal."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tennis ball was hit back by Echizen Ryoma.

boom......

"I got it, I scored this time, kid!"

Just when Arai thought he had returned the ball to score, Echizen Ryoma quickly hit the net, made a beautiful volley, and easily knocked the ball back.

"30:0."

"Sakurano, look, Ryoma has scored again."

"Ah...Ryoma." (?)

......

"You're still far behind, senior."

Although there was a smile on his face, his expression made people want to beat him up before talking.

......

"1:0, both sides switch sides."

With the remaining two points, Echizen Ryoma didn't give Arai any chance and quickly ended the game.

boom...

Snapped.

"Damn you brat, my serve is coming next and it will definitely make you look good."

"Catch me a ball!"

Looking at the flying tennis ball, Echizen Ryoma quickly chased the ball.

"Not bad, senior."

boom...

He hit the ball back very easily.

"Don't even think about scoring."

Arai also defended with all his strength and did not miss any ball.

Bang...

Echizen Ryoma raised his racket and hit the ball toward the baseline.

Seeing the tennis ball flying over his head, Arai, who was halfway on the net, could only turn around immediately.

Bang...

Arai hit the ball back with an extremely uncoordinated posture.

However, this also gave Echizen Ryoma a chance.

I saw him taking advantage of Arai's return and quickly surfed the Internet, ready before the tennis ball flew back.

Leap into the air, stay in the air perfectly, swing the racket quickly, and smash with great force.

Score!

"2:0, this game is won by Echizen."

"Damn it!"

Seeing that his serve was easily won by Echizen Ryoma, Arai was extremely depressed.

......

As the game continued, the score continued to widen.

In the end, Echizen Ryoma won the game 6:0.

"Ah... Sakurano, Ryoma won, ah..."

Tomoka Kosakada grabbed Sakurano Ryuzaki and shook her wildly.

"Tomoka, please let go, I understand."

Ryuzaki Sakurano was so shaken by her that she almost passed.

"Ryoma..."

However, speaking of it, Arai is still quite capable. After all, he still grabbed a point from Echizen Ryoma, even though it was because of a net wipe.

(Arai: Hey, that’s too much, killing people and killing people!!!!?(◣д◢)?

Someone can't say: Kill people and kill your heart? Do I have it? I'm just telling the truth. (?＞?＜?))

......

"Did you take all the photos? Saori."

Inoue looked at Shiba Saori who was taking pictures next to him and said.

After taking the last photo, Shiba Saori slowly put down the camera.

"Everything was captured, Inoue-senpai."

After saying that, I didn’t forget to take a picture with the camera in my hand.

Hearing her words, Inoue nodded in relief.

"Now that it's over here, let's go look elsewhere."

After saying that, Inoue took Shiba Saori and left the No. 3 court.

......
