So, how strong must Chen Anxia be to defeat Fuji Syusuke?
Thinking it over, Tachibana Yoshihira murmured softly, "A first-year national-level powerhouse, huh..."
Kyoko Tachibana, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't hear what Yoshihira Tachibana said and asked, "Brother, what are you saying?"
Without waiting for Tachibana Yoshihira's reply, Tachibana An said, "By the way, there's a match this afternoon between King and a regular member of Seigaku. Do you want to come and watch it yourself? I'm afraid I won't understand it."
After hearing what Tachibana An said, Tachibana Yoshihira took a deep breath and said, "There's no need to go see. You can come back too. I know the situation."
After giving his instructions, Tachibana Yoshihira hung up the phone and turned his attention back to the tennis court in front of him.
Watching his teammates training hard on the tennis court, Tachibana Yoshihira fell into deep thought and pondered to himself.
'I originally thought that Seigaku's No. 3 singles player would be the breakthrough point, but now there's another player who is suspected to be a national-level King...'
'Based on this, the most likely lineup for Seigaku in the Metropolitan Tournament is Tezuka Kunimitsu (singles #1), King (singles #2), and Fuji Syusuke (singles #3)...'
'This kind of one-on-one lineup is a headache just to think about...'
'If Fudomine wants to win, they must find a way to deal with the three giants of Seigaku...'
......
Chapter 277 Fuji Yuta's Challenge, the Mastermind's Scheme!
After the commotion caused by Chen Anxia's defeat of Fuji Syusuke, another person has started a commotion.
This person is Echizen Ryoma, and the reason why Echizen Ryoma caused a commotion is that he successfully defeated Kaidou Kaoru.
This time, not only the ordinary members of the second and third year clubs, but also the freshmen were surprised and astonished, and couldn't help but start discussing it.
The reason for this is that they don't understand Echizen Ryoma.
Kaoru Kaidou had already demonstrated his strength in his previous match against Anxia Chen, so everyone is quite familiar with him.
That's why they reacted this way after learning that Ryoma Echizen had defeated Kaoru Kaido.
"What?! That freshman named Echizen Ryoma defeated Kaidou?!"
"Really? Can Echizen Ryoma really defeat Kaidou?"
"I never expected that there were other experts hidden among our freshmen besides King, and that they were even able to defeat Kaidou, one of the regular members of Seigaku."
"It seems that the answer to why Ryoma Echizen will be exceptionally selected to participate in this regular selection is already clear."
"I heard that Ryoma Echizen used an outside spin serve in his match against Kaido."
"Spin serve? A middle school student probably couldn't even hit that kind of serve, right?"
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes."
"Incredible! A middle school student can actually hit an outside spin serve that even adults find difficult to hit!"
"It's not just the outside spin serve; Ryoma Echizen has been hiding his true strength all along. In fact, his dominant hand is his left hand."
"And there are also small, quick steps taken on one leg..."
......
Naturally, this news also reached the ears of the other regular members of Seigaku.
Upon hearing this news, Momoshiro Takeshi raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression grave. "That brat, he didn't use his dominant hand during the match..."
"However, that brat actually managed to defeat Kaidou. No wonder he was chosen by the captain and coach..."
"We need to go all out in this afternoon's match, or we'll suffer a major upset..."
When Qian Zhenzhi, who was analyzing Chen Anxia's data, learned of this news, a hint of surprise appeared on his usually calm face.
Then, Inui Sadaharu turned to the page in his notebook where Echizen Ryoma's data was recorded.
After learning that Ryoma Echizen would be participating in the regular selection process as an exception, Sadaharu Inui began to collect data on Ryoma Echizen.
However, unlike Chen Anxia, Echizen Ryoma usually spends most of his time in tennis training by picking up balls with the freshmen, which prevents Inui Sadaharu from collecting any useful data.
However, Inui Sadaharu has collected a relatively complete collection of information about Echizen Ryoma's past glories.
At this moment, Sadaharu Inui was looking at his notebook, taking notes while muttering to himself, "Echizen Ryoma, known as the Prince of Tennis by American fans..."
"His preferred techniques include topspin serves and small, quick steps on one leg..."
"He usually prefers to fight with his right hand, but his dominant hand is actually his left hand..."
"Overall, Ryoma Echizen might be a genius comparable to Fuji, but compared to Chen Anxia..."
As he wrote this, Inui Sadaharu unconsciously stopped writing, staring blankly at the three words 'Chen Anxia' on the notebook, his thoughts already drifting to the match against Chen Anxia that afternoon.
After his thoughts returned to normal, Inui Sadaharu looked up at the sky with a complicated expression and murmured, "Is the win rate... 0%?"
When Tezuka Kunimitsu learned of this news, his expression remained completely unchanged, as if he had expected it all along.
On the other side, after receiving a brief interview from Shiba Saori, Chen Anxia planned to find a place to continue practicing his ball control skills and refine some data models in his mind.
After practicing for about an hour, around lunchtime, Chen Anxia stopped practicing, intending to eat first and then recharge to prepare for the afternoon's match.
Just as Chen Anxia finished packing her things and was about to leave, she heard a hostile voice say, "You're the one who defeated my brother, aren't you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia paused in her steps and then looked at the person who had spoken.
The person who spoke had short brown hair, an X-shaped wound on his upper right temple, a fierce expression, and an aura of malevolence.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately replied, "My name is Fuji Yuuta, and I am Fuji Syusuke's younger brother."
With that, Fuji Yuta looked at Chen Anxia with an imposing air and said, "The King of Seigaku, do you dare to have a match with me?"
Chen Anxia never expected that the gentle and refined Fuji Syusuke would have a younger brother with such a strong sense of delinquency.
Furthermore, judging from the school uniform that Fuji Yuuta is wearing, it doesn't seem to be Seigaku's school uniform.
However, Chen Anxia didn't think much of it. He only regarded Fuji Yuta's challenge as a younger brother standing up for his older brother.
Just then, Chen Anxia had gained some insights during her practice and wanted to find someone to verify them.
Although we don't know how strong Fuji Yuuta is, the fact that he dared to challenge us even though he knew he had defeated Fuji Syusuke suggests that he must be quite strong.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia accepted Fuji Yuta's challenge.
Because of the special circumstances of today, the Seigaku tennis courts are all full, and Fuji Yuuta is unlikely to be at Seigaku, so it's impossible for him to play against Chen Anxia in a situation where his older brother can see him.
So, after seeing that Chen Anxia had agreed to his challenge, Fuji Yuta led Chen Anxia toward the outdoor tennis court closest to Seigaku.
Shortly after Fuji Yuta and Chen Anxia left, another figure appeared here.
The figure's name is Kanatsuki, the manager of the St. Rudolf Tennis Club, a regular player and strategist, and also a teammate of Fuji Yuta.
The reason why Fuji Yuta is here and why he challenges Chen Anxia is all because of Guan Yuechu's arrangement.
Originally, Kanzuki was just curious about the recently rising 'King of Seigaku' and wanted to take advantage of Seigaku's regular selection to find out about the enemy.
However, Guan Yuechu did not expect that after arriving at Seigaku, he would receive news that Fuji Syusuke had been defeated by Seigaku's King.
Like Inui Sadaharu, Mizuki Hajime is skilled in data tennis and intelligence gathering.
Therefore, Guan Yuechu was very clear about what this message meant.
At the same time, Kanzuki also instantly simulated Seigaku's singles lineup for the Metropolitan Tournament.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Anxia is very likely to replace Fuji Syusuke as Seigaku's number 2 singles player.
This means that when St. Rudolph encounters Seigaku, he is very likely to face off against Chen Anxia.
This is also why Guan Yuechu arranged for Fuji Yuta to challenge Chen Anxia.
Guan Yuechu wanted to use this challenge to further understand Chen Anxia's data so that he could perfectly... shut him down the next time they met!
Just as he had planned to perfectly eliminate Fuji Syusuke...
......
Chapter 278 Super Half-Strike, Calculation Progress 99%!
Before catching up with Fuji Yuta and Chen Anxia, Guan Yuechu lingered in front of the wall where Chen Anxia was practicing his ball control skills and watched for a while.
Then, Guan Yuechu followed Fuji Yuta and Chen Anxia without any hesitation.
In his heart, Guan Yuechu murmured, 'Judging from the marks on the wall, his ball control ability can only be described as average...'
'According to the data I've collected, Fuji Syusuke's ball control is superior to his, yet Fuji Syusuke was defeated by him. That's interesting...'
After thinking for a while, Guan Yuechu followed Fuji Yuta and Chen Anxia to a free tennis court located under an overpass near Seigaku.
Since it's lunchtime, no one is occupying the tennis courts.
Soon, Chen Anxia and Fuji Yuta, who had just arrived at the tennis court, completed the coin toss.
Based on the result of the coin toss, the first game is Yuta Fuji's serve.
And this result was exactly what Chen Anxia wanted.
Chen Anxia wanted to use Fuji Yuta's serve to see just how strong Fuji Syusuke's younger brother really was.
From the sidelines, Kanzuki watched silently, thinking to himself, 'Given Fuji Yuuta's feelings for Fuji Syusuke, he'll definitely unleash an extraordinary level of skill against the opponent who defeated his brother...'
'Seigaku King, let me see what makes you so special...'
As Guan Yuechu silently recited the rules, the competition officially began.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fuji Yuta served directly.
Seeing Fuji Yuta's serve, Chen Anxia remained calm, went directly to the landing point, and easily returned the ball.
Although Fuji Yuta's serve seemed too ordinary to Chen Anxia, Chen Anxia also understood that a single serve didn't necessarily mean anything.
Chen Anxia did not expect that shortly after he returned the ball, Fuji Yuta returned it with an extraordinary speed and even greater power and speed.
Upon seeing this, Chen Anxia's eyes narrowed slightly. His excellent dynamic vision clearly captured the trajectory of the ball, and he once again easily returned the ball to its owner.
When Guan Yuechu, who was watching from the sidelines, saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Without much thought, Fuji Yuta returned the ball with an extraordinary speed and power.
"Half-attack..."
