Reinhardt, the captain of the American team, walked onto the field with the captain of the Swiss team, Adius, under the spotlight.
The competition between the two was extremely fierce from the beginning.
First, Adius took the lead in scoring a point with his special move 'Whale', which he had never used before against the R-country team, but then Reinhardt cracked the move and used his own moves to equalize the score.
As exciting as the match between Reinhardt and Adius was the practice match between Atobe and Tezuka that took place in the German team's training room.
Tezuka used the 'Tezuka Domain' as usual, but Atobe used the evolved 'Ice World' to find out the weakness of the 'Tezuka Domain' and cracked this move. At the same time, Atobe also Don't forget to show Tezuka the determination and fighting spirit of the R national team to win the German team and stand at the top of the world.
After the practice match, Aitobe, who was filled with mixed emotions, put on the jacket and trousers that he had fallen off to the side, and said seriously to Tsukasa, "In order not to let myself stagnate on the road to becoming a professional player, work hard. Come on, Tezuka!"
"In the R national team, there are many people who want to play with a guy like you..." After changing his clothes, Atobe looked at Tezuka with a teasing look on his face.
But Tezuka said with a straight face, "No matter who my opponent is, I will never lose."
……
In the player hotel, the coaches of the R national team were having a headache thinking about the roster for the match against the German team.
Although they have strong players, they still have a headache with appearance arrangements.
"Why don't we look at the players' own opinions?" Coach Tuozhi carefully put forward his own ideas.
Unfortunately, Coach Mifune rejected it all at once.
"In the first few games, they could make their own arrangements, but now they are playing against the German team! And they are still competing for a spot in the finals!" Coach Kurobe also looked at Coach Takuchi with a look of disapproval.
"Three professional players... Byodoin can handle one, and Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura Seiichi should be able to handle it too..." Coach Mifune muttered in a low voice.
Then he raised his head sharply, "Did there be news before that the German team would let Tezuka take the singles seat?!"
"There seems to be such a theory, but I think it is unlikely..." Coach Saito looked through the information on the table, "When there are three professional players, letting Tezuka play singles is not the same as having a professional player. Can players only play doubles or not play at all?"
"If we lose in the preliminaries, the German team may really arrange it like this... Oh, I mean only two professional players will appear..." Kurobe spread his hands helplessly.
"Let's see, the three boys from Byodoin, Amamiya Arashi and Yukimura will play singles." Coach Mifune frowned, "Then...Ranagi and Oni, Niou and Tanejima will play doubles."
After finishing speaking, Coach Mifune's frown gradually eased. Anyway, he had made what he thought was the best arrangement, and the next thing to look at was the players.
.........
On the other side, Qie Principle, who did not attend the seniors' afternoon tea party, quietly followed Atobe before he left the house, but he successfully got lost in the German team's training facility.
When Kirihara wandered around and finally found the door to the training room, Tezuka and Atobe also ended the game.
And Kirihara happened to see the scene where Tezuka handed Fuji Kaname's CD to Atobe. At this time, Xiao Kelp's simple mind naturally thought of a big drama.
That is, Tezuka pretended to go to Germany to study, but in fact he endured the humiliation and joined the German team and stole information for the final victory of country R. And Atobe came to contact the opponent today to get the information...
Thinking like this, Kirihara couldn't help but act cautiously, but unfortunately the next moment... Kirihara unfortunately bumped into a patrolling security guard.
Kirihara, who couldn't understand the language, was struggling to avoid being pursued by the security guards. At the same time, he was worried about the safety of his two senior 'spies'.
……
On the court, Adius, who was fighting Reinhardt, couldn't help but admire his opponent's tennis level, but in his opinion, there was still an unbridgeable gap between Reinhardt and himself.
"Let me tell you, where is the decisive gap between you and me!" Saying this, Adius used the move specially prepared for Byodoin when fighting Akutsu - 'Dark Darkness' '.
Adius's 'Darkness' can mercilessly expose the opponent's weaknesses and allow the user to attack them.
Also because of this ball, Adius successfully found Reinhardt's weakness-the other side of the leg that supports the entire body after smashing the ball will have obvious coordination slowness.
And just when Adius thought he could win the game, Reinhardt suddenly overcame this weakness.
At this time, Ryoma Echizen on the sidelines told his teammates that Reinhardt's strongest point is his ability to constantly overcome his weaknesses and turn them into his strengths.
Reinhardt, who overcame his weakness and turned it into his advantage, tied the score with a smile on his face.
The match between the two entered a tiebreaker.
After a lot of pushing and pulling, Reinhardt, who has unlimited ability to overcome weaknesses, finally came out on top.
The American team also won a spot in the semi-finals with three wins and two losses.
On the other side of the court, the wandering samurai Ryuya Echizen who also left the US team after Ryoma Echizen left, also represented the Spanish team and won a singles victory, and Spain also advanced to the semi-finals at the same time.
Although Adius was a little sad after losing the game, he still smiled and congratulated Reinhardt on his victory and told him that he looked forward to Reinhardt being active in the tennis world as a professional player.
After leaving the field, Adius no longer concealed his disappointment, but the members of the Swiss team came over to comfort their captain. Even if they lost the game this time, they were still willing to persevere with their captain.
The cheering members of the American team were very happy when they saw Ryoma Echizen who came to cheer them on. They made an appointment with Ryoma to meet in the finals. Although he knew that his strength was not among the top seven in the R national team and he might not have a chance to compete, Echizen Ryoma was still quite arrogant and said, "Then I will defeat the German team first, and then in the finals Waiting for you.”
……
The semi-finals are all qualified, which means that today's competition is over.
The audience left in an orderly manner, and the winning contestants also left the stage laughing.
On the other side, Kirihara, who was struggling to avoid being pursued by security guards at the German team's training facility, finally found a way out and ran out of the training facility.
After getting the CD, Atobe was taken to the gate of the training ground by Tezuka.
Back at the hotel, Atobe knocked on Fuji's door and handed the CD to its owner.
Fuji looked hesitant and wanted to ask something, but he didn't speak. Atobe, who saw Fuji's thoughts, kindly told the other party Tezuka's current situation, and then returned to his room to take a shower.
After dinner, junior high school students and high school students gathered together to wait for the coaches’ lineup.
