Chapter 25 Preparing for the Kanto Competition
If someone looks in from the window, they will find that there are two distinct groups of people in the huge conference room. One group is represented by Amamiya Arashi and Mouri Jusaburo, my cousins and the three first-year quasi-selected members of the Eight Diagrams 'Squad.
The other group is a serious discussion group composed of newly appointed ministers, deputy ministers and military advisers plus former ministers and former deputy ministers.
After seeing that Amamiya Arashi planned to tell Mori Jusaburo and the others a few things about Sanada and Tezuka, Yukimura decided to wait a little while thinking about how to let Sanada solve his 'inner demons'.
From Yukimura's point of view, Sanada has been holding his breath since he lost to Tezuka Kunimitsu 6-0 last time. At first, he thought he was just a little too concerned about losing the game, but looking at him now...
Yukimura tapped his fingers on the table. Seeing Yukimura seeming lost in thought, Morihisaaki and Kumokawa Kei also planned to get close to Amamiya Arashi and listen to some of what happened at that time.
Liu knew what happened, so he sat in his seat and sorted out his information.
Sanada felt quite bad when he saw his seniors and classmates who showed great interest in his affairs, and his face became darker and darker.
After listening to Amamiya Arashi's explanation with no personal opinions, Maori couldn't help but feel puzzled, and then asked a question, "If I beat Xiao Sanada 6-0 during the game, will Xiao Sanada care about me so much?"
Everyone who heard Jusaburo Mori's words:...
Why are your thoughts so strange? !
Does it turn out that Maori likes others to pay attention to him? Learned learned learned. Mori Hisaaki and Yumikawa Kei looked at each other and thought while touching their chins.
Mouri Jusaburo suddenly felt a chill, and then shrank his neck, trying to find a trace of warmth.
……
Seeing that everyone understood it, Yukimura tried to get the content back on track.
"Ahem, okay, let's get back to the topic. Do you have any thoughts about the Kanto Competition?" Yukimura stopped tapping on the table and asked.
"Actually, in the rounds before the semi-finals of the Kanto Competition, the opponents were almost as strong as those in the Prefecture Competition."
"If that's the case, our chance of winning the Kanto Tournament this time is 100%," Liu Renji said, flipping through the notebook in his hand. "Although Yamabuki Academy is famous for doubles, there are not many good players in singles. Besides, our doubles is also weak." You won’t necessarily lose to them.”
"As for Hyokui, let's take a look at this." As he said that, Liu Renji took out a tennis weekly.
"?!this is……"
"Keigo Atobe, who came back from Country Y, launched a revolution. He overthrew the Hyotei Tennis Club by one person and ousted the successor appointed by Hyotei's former minister from the position of minister."
"Are all newcomers so scary these days?!"
"Should we be lucky that our junior minister is gentler than this Atobe..."
"I think we should be lucky." Liu Renji pointed to a passage in the newspaper. "After Keigo Atobe challenged, all the third-year members of the Hyotei Tennis Club resigned, and only one second-year member remained. Two non-elected members, and the rest are first-year members.”
"After all, our seniors are much friendlier than those in other schools." Yukimura looked at several third-year seniors with a smile. "If it weren't for the help of several seniors, the handover of the tennis club would not have been so smooth."
"It's nothing~haha" Looking at the gentle Yukimura, Hisaaki Mori felt a little embarrassed for some reason, and then abruptly changed the subject, "Since Keigo Atobe can beat the tennis club by himself, so members , so that means he is still very strong and needs to be careful."
"Indeed, in addition to Atobe, there are several other first-year candidates for Hyotei this year, namely Akutagawa Jirou, Ninzu Yushi, Mukahi Gakuto, Shimonto Ryo and Taki Oginosuke." Kumokawa Kei looked at the tennis ball. The weekly magazine said casually, "But just focus on Akutagawa and Shinobu."
"In this case, the games before the semi-finals of the Kanto Competition will still follow the arrangements of the County Competition."
"No problem." No one had any objection.
"By the way, in the next time, let's focus on doubles in the training program. After all, doubles depends on two people," Yukimura said meaningfully.
"Pfft-haha" Amamiya Lan looked at Sanada and laughed directly on Maori's shoulder.
"..." Sanada looked expressionless and lowered the brim of his hat, but in fact his ears were already red. He also knew that his doubles was not very good, but hey, when he saw the ball during doubles, he couldn't help but catch the ball. , completely forgetting that he still has a partner. "I won't let up!"
……
----ice King----
In recent years, Hyotei and Rikkai Dai have always competed for the championship in the Kanto Competition. Although Rikkai Dai is slightly better every year, the two can also be said to be "enemies."
This year, Hyokui welcomes their emperor, Atobe Keigo. As a ruthless person who initiates reforms at the beginning of school and challenges the tennis club, Atobe is ambitious.
He wants to lead the Hyotei Tennis Club to win the Kanto Competition or even the National Competition.
As Hyokui's old rival, Tatekai Dai is the biggest obstacle to them winning the championship. For this reason, before the start of the regional qualifiers, Atobe sent people to Tatekai University to inquire about information, and also sent people to Kanagawa to record every game of Tatekai University.
Even though he clearly knew that there was no opponent worthy of Tatekai's full strength in the prefectural competition, Atobe still summoned the Hyotei main selection and the coach to watch the video together.
"The minister of Rikkai University this year is also a first-year student," Yushi Ninzu looked at their minister and couldn't help but introduce: "Yukimura Seiichi is known as the 'Son of God' and is also one of the 'Big Four' of Rikkai University. leader."
"The Big Four? Besides the 'Emperor' Genichiro Sanada, who are the other two?" Ryo Shito couldn't help but ask.
"Struggler Yanagi Renji and magician Amamiya Arashi" Yuushi Ninzu adjusted his glasses, "The four of them challenged the main seniors of the tennis club on the same day. Yukimura Seiichi defeated the former minister 6-0, and Yanagi Renji won with They beat the main selection 6-0, Genichiro Sanada defeated the former deputy minister 7-5, and Arashi Amamiya defeated Jusaburo Mori 6-4. In addition, they also have three first-year quasi-main selections, who should be waiting The third-year seniors are preparing to take over after they retire."
Hearing Amamiya Arashi's name, Atobe Keigo twitched the corner of his mouth and almost failed to maintain his gorgeous posture. However, fortunately, everyone's attention was attracted by Renzu's words and no one noticed him.
"..." Mugahigataketo didn't believe it, "Is it true?! Isn't that Mouri Juzaburo the Super Rookie King last year?"
"And there are so many first-year students who are powerful at Rikkai?"
"The information transmitted is correct, and" Supervisor Sakaki said calmly, "In the prefectural competition, Amamiya Arashi and Mori Jusaburo appeared as doubles players."
"This is what is called 'drought kills drought, waterlogging kills waterlogging', right?!"
"A person as powerful as Jusaburo Mori in singles actually went to play doubles..."
"And Amamiya Lan, who beat Maori six to four, actually went to play doubles..."
"Is this the strength of the King Li Haida?"
"They are really extravagant!"
……
Listening to the discussion of the main players, Atobe snapped his fingers and signaled to turn on the video, "Let's take a look at the video of the game first."
Video starts playing
I saw Lihai University playing against different schools. Except for singles one and doubles one, which are fixed, the other positions change almost every game.
But even so, they won every game 6-0.
"There is a saying, Li Hai University's players really do whatever they want..."
"It's true"
“There should be some of them that are just right choices.”
"But that military advisor is really scary! It feels like he can predict everything."
"And that emperor, his serve is very fierce, and his return looks very powerful."
"And that minister, he keeps his coat on! After watching him play the game, his coat didn't even move!"
……
‘Pa—’ Atobe Keigo snapped his fingers at the sky, “This is the situation with Tatekai Dai. In order to win, everyone should train hard next!”
"The winner will be Hyokui!" Atobe said confidently.
"Then, the rest will be left to you, Atobe." Coach Sakaki ordered, "Ninzu will be responsible for the intelligence work."
"no problem!"
"Okay, Director Sakaki."
The two replied in unison.
After the meeting ended, Xiang Yueren directly called out to Ninzu Yushi.
Seeing Yueto Hidden's hesitant expression, Yuushi Ninzu rubbed his hair comfortingly, "Don't worry, Yueto, Atobe will not lose. From now on, we just need to train hard."
"Hey~ Yushi" protested to Riyue Ren dissatisfiedly, "Don't touch my hair!"
……
The teenagers carried tennis bags and played all the way, never giving up even when faced with strong enemies.
