Prince of Tennis: The Emperor's Eye

The final result is a big success.

With the emergence of the top four of the Metropolitan Tournament, everyone was once again surprised by Fudo Mine's performance. Even in the Metropolitan Tournament, they still had not lost a single game, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, although the top four have been decided, there is still a week before the start of the semi-finals, and the audience has to wait patiently for the next week's game.

And Fudo Mine's semi-final opponent has also been determined, that is, Hyotei Academy led by Atobe Keigo. This year's Hyotei also has many first-year players. Although it is not as exaggerated as Fudo Mine, which is composed of all first-year players, it is also one of the few tennis powerhouses with first-year players as the main force.

During this week, everyone in Fudo Peak continued to do daily training. They didn't care about the title of the top four in the Hyotei National Tournament. They were 100% confident in their own strength. Besides, it was hard to say whether Hyotei still had the same strength this year.

With the graduation of Ochi Gekko and others, Hyotei's strength could be said to have plummeted. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Atobe and others, it would probably be difficult to even enter the Kanto Tournament. Atobe's strength in the original Chinese version might not have reached the national level, but even so, he could beat all the regulars by himself, so the strength of Hyotei can be imagined.

However, no matter how confident he was in the strength of his tennis club, Akashi still called all the regulars to the conference room the day before the game. After seeing everyone present, Akashi slowly said:

"Tomorrow is the semi-final of the Metropolitan Tournament. I believe everyone already knows our opponent, and you should be familiar with the information about Hyotei. Although we can easily win with the previous lineup, we still need to consider the finals later."

"According to the current situation, although the regulars of Seigaku have been replaced by Fuji and others, and their strength has been greatly improved, it is basically impossible to beat Yamabuki, so our opponent in the final is likely to be Yamabuki."

After hearing Akashi's words, Tezuka felt sorry for Fuji, but he also knew that with Seigaku's current strength, it is indeed not a match for Yamabuki.

Seeing that no one objected, Akashi nodded and continued:

"There is a very difficult person in Yamabuki, Mitsuya Akutsu, you should have all met him, the one who talked to me after the game last week. He is not only proficient in data tennis, but also good at intelligence analysis and deployment. Usually, the order of appearance of Yamabuki is not arranged by their coach Bantian Kan'ya, but by him according to the relevant intelligence. "

"So if we continue to play according to the previous lineup, it is very likely that we will be targeted in the finals. Although I believe in your strength, Yamabuki is also a well-known doubles school after all. Coupled with Mitsuya's strength, it is estimated that except for me, any one of you will be at risk of losing against him." Akashi said with a serious face.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. They wanted to refute Akashi's words, but according to the information they had obtained before, it was very likely to be true.

Akashi didn't care about the silence of the crowd. He actually knew what they were thinking. Fudomine had been so smooth that everyone subconsciously thought that the junior high school tennis world was like this. Suddenly, Yamabuki appeared and their ideas didn't change for a while.

"Okay, don't think too much. Let's talk about Hyotei first. I need to change the lineup for tomorrow's game. This is why I asked you to train in groups this week."

Everyone realized at this time that they were originally training according to the training plan and only two groups of doubles would do some tacit training together. But this week, under Akashi's arrangement, almost all of their training will be carried out with a random person. They didn't understand it before, but now it seems that Akashi has planned it.

"Tomorrow's doubles two, Tachibana and Kido, you go!" Akashi said, looking at Tachibana Kihei and Kido.

Tachibana Kihei and Kido looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Anyway, they have always played doubles before, and this time they just changed their partners. They are all in the same tennis club, and they know each other's playing habits to some extent.

"For doubles, Lilia, Akutsu, you go!" Seeing that Kihei Tachibana and Kido had no objection, Akashi turned his gaze to Kurasa and Akutsu.

Akutsu was stunned. He didn't expect Akashi to arrange him to play doubles, and his face suddenly became unhappy.

But thinking of Akashi's character, if he objects now, it's probably not going to end well, so he can only "humph" and keep silent.

Kurasaki doesn't care. For him, whether it's doubles or singles, or who he plays doubles with, as long as he can win, it's fine, and he also believes that Akashi must have his intentions for making such an arrangement.

"As for singles three, I'll do it myself! From what I know about Atobe, he will definitely want to finish us off in the first three games, so I'll play a game with him~" Akashi said in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Singles two, Chitose, singles one, Tezuka, is that okay? Although you may not have a chance to play~" Finally, Akashi looked at Tezuka and Chitose.

Tezuka and Chitose both shook their heads indifferently, indicating that they had no objection. Tezuka was already used to it. He was similar to Akashi and had basically not played a few games, and Chitose just wanted to take a break. Compared to Tachibana Kihei, Chitose was not as passionate.

"Very good! Then the arrangement for tomorrow's appearance is set. Akutsu, I know you are very unhappy, but sooner or later you will try to learn doubles. The future stage is very big. We can't always be in the current position. All of you must remember this. That's all!" After Akashi finished speaking, he motioned Tezuka to stay for a while, and the others walked out of the meeting room one after another.

"What's wrong? Akashi, you specifically asked me to stay. Is there something important to say?" Tezuka looked at Akashi with a serious face and asked.

"Tezuka, Akutsu's strength is only one opportunity away from the national level. Although we can easily defeat him, because he is one of us, the pressure on him may not be as great as imagined, so I plan to let him experience the feeling of defeat in a formal competition. With his personality and talent, he will definitely be able to break through smoothly. What do you think?" Akashi said with a deep look.

"Akutsu? To be honest, his talent is something I have never seen before. His growth rate has probably surpassed all of us except you, so even without pressure, I think he can break through quickly. Is it really necessary to do this?" Tezuka said with a frown.

"You are right, Tezuka. His growth rate has even surpassed me in some aspects, but if we can accelerate his growth, why not do it? Besides, the loss in the official competition may be of great benefit to his mental growth."

"This... makes some sense. I have no objection. What are you going to do?" Tezuka stopped questioning after hearing this.

"For Yamabuki's game, arrange him to play singles three. When Mitsugaya plays against us, there is a high probability that he will be in that position, so as to stabilize the morale of the army when the game is unfavorable." Akashi said seriously.

"Aren't you going to fight with Senior Mitsugaya?" Tezuka asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance later. Now Akatsuki's growth is more important!" Although Akashi also wanted to fight with Mitsuya to see whether the Eye of the Emperor was more powerful or his data was stronger, he was serious about Akatsuki's training.

The next day, the semi-finals of the Metropolitan Competition officially started today. Many spectators came to the competition site early in the morning, waiting for the arrival of the top four schools.

As before, the luxury bus with the words Fudo Mine printed on it slowly drove in. When it was about to enter the competition venue, two luxury buses also drove in from the other side, with the words Hyotei printed on them.

When everyone saw this scene, they all got excited. Wow, this game has not started yet. Everyone quieted down and waited for the show.

When the buses of the two schools were parked, the personnel of both sides got off the bus one by one. Speaking of which, the uniforms of the two sides were also in great contrast. Fudo Mine was mainly black, while Hyotei was white in the middle and dark blue on the arms. It looked very clear.

The first person to get out of the car from Hyotei was Taro Sakaki, who was wearing a burgundy suit that highlighted his tall figure. However, Taro Sakaki just nodded to Akashi and didn't say much, because he knew that Atobe behind him was the protagonist now.

Sure enough, as soon as Atobe got out of the car, he led the Hyotei regulars to Akashi and others, and Akashi also walked towards Atobe without any hesitation.

"I didn't expect you to start playing tennis. I remember that you were particularly interested in basketball, weren't you? Akashi Seijuro~" Atobe was full of sarcasm as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hehe~ That was many years ago. It seems that you haven't made any progress in the past few years in the UK, Atobe Keigo~" Akashi also retorted mercilessly.

If someone looked from the side at this time, they would definitely see the two people in Akashi and Atobe's eyes.

Two lightning bolts, one red and one blue, were madly fighting each other.

"You can only show off your power with words now. In the game later, you Fudofeng have no chance of winning!" As Atobe said, he raised his right hand high, and immediately many Hyotei members behind him began to shout loudly.

"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!"

"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Atobe!"

With Atobe's snap of his fingers, everyone slowly stopped shouting. Seeing this scene, let alone Tezuka and others, even Akashi's eyes twitched slightly. You are only in the first grade! Are you starting this narcissistic performance now? You don't care about anyone anymore, right?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Akashi's face did not change at all. He still had an indifferent expression and slowly said:

"Atobe, you should know my habits. No matter how loud others shout, it can't change your ending, because your defeat is doomed!"

"Really? Then I'll wait and see!" Atobe looked at Akashi without showing any weakness.

At this time, Sakaki Taro, who was standing aside, might not be able to watch it anymore. He stepped forward to stop the two from continuing to confront each other. After saying hello to Akashi, he led the Hyotei people to the registration office.

Akashi and others also walked to the registration office on the other side. The game had not started yet, but the two sides had already started to show their anger.
