Chapter 26 26. Current situation of the Metropolitan Tournament!

"The game is over! Teikou Junior High School wins!"
In the fourth match of the Metropolitan Tournament, Teikou led by Akashi still won with an overwhelming advantage.
Unlike the regional tournament, the Metropolitan Tournament only needs to win three games to advance directly, and no longer needs to play all five games.
Therefore, Murasakihara likes this competition system very much, but unfortunately
The first three games were doubles No. 2, doubles No. 1 and singles No. 3, which destined Murasakihara to be lazy and unable to rest.
When he teamed up with Kise, it was okay, he could indulge Kise to play one against two, but once he teamed up with Midorima, he would be scolded if he didn't receive the ball.
This made Murasakihara want to find someone to change singles, but unfortunately he was just thinking about it.
After all, although it was Momoi who arranged the lineup, it was Akashi who actually made the final decision.
Akashi would definitely not agree with his childish idea.
"Teikou is really too strong."
"There is absolutely no opponent."
"Are they really freshmen?"
Today's Teikou is no longer the unknown team that people thought it was. Instead, it is impossible not to pay attention to its high-profile style of play.
Many schools have begun to shift their attention to this "dark horse".
"Sure enough, every player of Teikou is very strong."
Inui Sadaharu grabbed the pen in his hand, drew some symbols on the notebook, and muttered.
Beside him were the silent Tezuka and Fuji.
(Everything has been different since that day.)
Recalling the scene of that day in his mind, Inui Sadaharu glanced at Tezuka and thought.
On the second day after the "kick-out" incident, Yamato planned a new school ranking competition.
This time, even the freshmen were specially arranged.
There are Tezuka and Fuji on the list, and even the usually noisy Kikumaru has the possibility of competing for the main selection.
Including him and Oishi, every freshman seems to have been "rewarded" with a chance.
At first, the seniors in the second and third grades were opposed and said that they would never give up the starting position.
But they were all blocked by Yamato's words.
"If you can't even beat your own first-year juniors, what's the point of getting the starting position?"
Although the words were not said in full, the hint was very obvious. If you can't beat your own kid, then don't go on the court to embarrass yourself.
If it were before, this group of seniors would definitely speak fiercely to Tezuka and others.
But thinking of being taught a lesson by a first-year white-haired kid with tennis, they looked embarrassed.
So they prepared to wait for Coach Ryuzaki to speak.
Unfortunately, Coach Ryuzaki agreed directly and did not stop Yamato's idea.
This led to Tezuka and others having the opportunity to stand out.
The school competition was launched under such circumstances.
Originally, they all thought that only Tezuka was strong, and it didn't matter if they gave one of them the starting position to Tezuka.
The result was that Fuji and his performance made their faces swollen.
Oishi and Kikumaru were fine, and they only managed to win against their seniors by a narrow margin. Kawamura Takashi was dragged to special training by Tezuka and others for a period of time because he learned that he had a chance to participate in the main selection, but he also won.
Inui Sadaharu did not play his best, but quietly controlled the score to win.
Tezuka and Fuji won overwhelmingly.
As a result, there were six more first-year students in the main selection of Seigaku.
Only Yamato and two other third-year students stayed.
This situation surprised many people for a while.
But they lost because they were not as good as others, and there was nothing they could do no matter how reluctant they were.
It was impossible for them to jump out and shout "I don't accept it" or quit the tennis club directly, right?
How embarrassing it would be if that got out?
At the end of the ranking competition, the active atmosphere of Seigaku completely changed.
The first-year students were full of vitality, while the second and third-year students were holding back their energy to regain their place in the main selection.
Although they knew they couldn't beat Tezuka and Fuji, it was obvious that Oishi's team won very reluctantly, and they always had a chance to win back.
After the start of the Metropolitan Tournament, Seigaku won the first four games with excellent results.
This was a period of big wins that had never happened before.
The fact that Seigaku rashly used freshmen as the starting lineup also surprised other schools.
Obviously, Seigaku's usual style was not like this before, and they also felt incredible.
Teikou Junior High School was all freshmen, so it was as easy for them to win as drinking water. Seigaku also changed the starting lineup of freshmen, and the result was a big win.
Are freshmen already so powerful?
Such thoughts can't help but arise in some schools.
"Let's go."
Watching the end of Teikou's game, Tezuka turned around and said to the two.
Fuji and Inui Sadaharu looked at each other, and then followed Tezuka away.
"Aqian, based on your information, what is the probability of our Seigaku winning Teikou?"
But while walking, Tezuka rarely asked Inui Sadaharu a question.
Although he didn't look back, Fuji could imagine what Tezuka's expression was like.
"Uh"
"To be honest, the chance of winning is probably less than 1%."
"Even though you, Tezuka, were able to tie with Shiratsu Tomosei before, it doesn't mean you won. The other players of Teikou seem to me to be very strong."
"In terms of doubles, unless you team up with Fuji, it will be difficult to win a game."
Inui Sadaharu was slightly startled, but he flipped through the book and looked at the dense symbols and text and answered.
He was speaking the truth. After so many games, he still couldn't figure out the upper limit of the players of Teikou Middle School.
Except for the mysterious director Akashi Seijuro who has never appeared, the deputy director Shiratsu Tomosei who has slightly revealed his identity, and a blue-haired boy with no sense of existence, the level of others is better than their third-year senior.
It can be said that Teikou is completely an enhanced version of Seigaku. Except for the weak doubles combination of Kuroko Tetsuya, there are basically no obvious shortcomings.
If there is no special arrangement, they are likely to have lost the two doubles games of Seigaku, and can only rely on the remaining three singles.
But even if Fuji and Tezuka can win, the last singles match is still full of danger.
Although his idea is a bit disrespectful, it is very unlikely that Minister Yamato can beat Teikou's singles players.
This is still assuming that he wins two singles matches.
The actual situation may be more mysterious
"Why are they all so powerful?"
Fuji narrowed his eyes and listened to Inui Sadaharu's analysis, but he became a little curious.
It may be lucky for a school to produce one or two geniuses, but it would be a bit abnormal if 90% of them are powerful geniuses.
The three of them have not figured out this problem yet.
But there is still some time left for them
Because they are not in the same competition area as Teikou.
If everything goes well, they will meet Teikou in the finals.
And next, the opponents they will face are not weak
Seigaku VS Hyotei
Yamabuki VS Teikou
