NOVEL WEB Chapter 41 Main Selection Selection
"It seems that we need to set a quota for the main candidates this year." Yukimura said thoughtfully as he listened to the list, "Kirihara, Urayama, and Yagyu."
"Not necessarily, right? If Bunta and Kuwabara relax a little, they might be pulled down~" Amamiya Arashi, "Bunta's physical and defensive deficiencies, and Kuwahara's offensive deficiencies, after all, the main selection is a singles competition, right? Is that so? Kirihara has made great progress recently. Yagyu already has a tennis foundation, coupled with his golf-like hitting method..."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, everyone pays more attention to singles than doubles, right?" Liu thought about the characteristics of the people Amamiya Lan mentioned for a while, and then changed the subject, "So you are coaching Kirihara recently?"
"..." Tiangong Lan slapped his forehead, it was over, he had spilled the beans.
Yukimura glanced at it, feeling a little helpless, and then turned away: This is not what I said. I am obviously very serious about helping to keep it confidential. This kid...
"I would like to see how much this boy has improved!" Sanada said with a dark face as soon as he heard Kirihara's name.
"How about changing it to a points competition?"
"Okay, then we will keep the same as before, and then each group will be given four places, and those who qualify will play an extra round."
"The main selection and the semi-main selection will be determined based on the points ranking."
"So in terms of quota, there are still eight regular candidates and four semi-primary candidates."
……
The four of them arranged the game process with each other.
During the afternoon work time, Liu printed out the list and posted it on the bulletin board. Marui, who knew the news in advance, immediately took Niou and Kuwahara to the bulletin board to look at the battle schedule.
Main draft selection group
Group A: Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichiro, Kitahara Lin, Shion Qi...
Group B: Amamiya Arashi, Marui Bunta, Yagyu Hiroshi, Ueda Yi...
Group C: Yanagi Renji, Nioh Masaharu, Jack Kuwahara, Shirakawa Yui...
Group D: Mori Jusaburo, Kirihara Akaya, Urayama Shota, Hoshino Genichi...
"Hey Fox, you are in a group with Jack, and the military advisor is also in a group with you." After reading the list, Marui Bunta directly pulled the two of them to the tree, "I am in a group with Amamiya, and there is Yagyu. It looks like you are the fox." I competed with Jack for a spot, and then I competed with Yagyu for a spot..."
"..." Niou helplessly held up his forehead, "You idiot, you didn't look at what happened at all! This year, four people will be selected from each group, and then there will be a round-robin competition, and the main candidate will be selected based on the points ranking."
"?!" Marui Bunta had nothing to say. He was really just looking at the personnel allocation and didn't pay much attention to the things behind. Who knows what will change this year.
"In this case, we still have a chance to be the main selection! That's great. Finally, we don't have to worry about whether you or Jack will be eliminated!" Marui thought about it after hearing Nioh's words, and felt that this was good.
"Pfft~ The main selection isn't that simple!" Nioh thought about those powerful guys, "There are eight places, excluding the four of them and Mori-senpai, there are only three left."
"Fox, me, Jack, Yagyu... It seems that Kirihara will be added..." Marui calmed down and thought carefully, "Five people fighting for three places?! It seems not easy..."
Phew~ I have no intention of just fighting with you! Nioh secretly thought that even though he couldn't beat those few yet, he still had to give it a try. Plus what he had worked on during the two semesters... he thought he could surprise them.
While Nioh was immersed in his thoughts, Marui Bunta regained his confidence, "Even so, I can definitely win the main election! I, Marui Bunta, am a genius!"
"Yes, Mrs. Wen is very powerful!" Jack Kuwahara rubbed the back of his head and echoed.
"Jack, you have to work hard to win the main selection position, otherwise we won't be able to play doubles together." Marui Bunta, who had recovered, encouraged Kuwahara and then turned his attention to Nioh Masaharu, "Fox, you have to work hard too. ! We want to be elected together!"
"I will work hard, Wentai, I will definitely play doubles with you, we are the best partners!" Jack Kuwahara said firmly.
"Pfft~ Of course I will be the main candidate," Niou was also very determined, "After all, I have worked hard for a long time to get the position of the main candidate, Piyo~"
……
————A few days later————
The main selection rounds are over, and the candidates for each group have come out.
Those who qualified in Group A are: Seiichi Yukimura, who won all; Genichiro Sanada, who lost one game; Rin Kitahara, who lost two games; Qi Shion, who lost three games.
Group B: Amamiya Arashi, won all; Marui Bunta, lost one game; Yagyu Hiroshi, lost two games; Ueda Yi, lost three games.
Group C: Yanagi Renji, won all; Nioh Masaharu, lost one game; Jack Kuwahara, lost two games; Shirakawa Yui, lost three games.
Group D: Mouri Jusaburo, won all; Kirihara Akaya, lost one game; Urayama Shota, lost two games; Hoshino Genichi, lost two games. (The match between Hoshino Genichi and Urayama Shota ended in a draw.)
……
After all the candidates have been selected, the next day is the round robin competition.
During the round robin, the longest match was between Seiichi Yukimura and Arashi Amamiya.
During the competition, Yukimura used the new and undeveloped move "Dream" for the first time. Unfortunately, this move was far less threatening to Amamiya Arashi than "Destroy the Five Senses". The final result was that Yukimura won 7 to 5. On both sides, Yukimura won 7 to 5. Even though both have made progress, the score is still the same, which only shows that the two people have made similar progress.
It is also because of this score that ordinary members of the tennis club regard Amamiya Arashi as the second person in the tennis club. Mainly because apart from Amamiya Arashi, only Mori can get three points from Yukimura, while Yanagi and Sanada can only get three points. Two points, as for the others, they were all swept by 6-0.
Amamiya Arashi only lost to Yukimura in the round robin. For Mori Juzaburo, Sanada Genichiro and Yanagrenji, they won with scores of 6-3, 6-2, and 6-2 respectively. The rest of the players It was also a 6-0 sweep.
Jusaburo Mori ranked third in the points match, losing only to Seiichi Yukimura and Arashi Amamiya. He won 6-4 with Sanada, and won 6-3 with Yanagi. It was mainly due to Yanagi's data that tennis was good for Mori. The effect is not big.
Genichiro Sanada, ranked fourth. The match against Liu was won 7 to 5. After all, Liu had been collecting his data for a year.
Liu Renji, fifth place. There is no way to deal with Yukimura's 'destruction of the five senses' and 'dream'. For Amamiya Arashi, the main reason is that this kid has too many fancy things and it is not easy to predict. Compared with Maori, although he can predict the opponent's ball path, his physical fitness is not good enough and he cannot fight back. Compared with Sanada, he was still lacking in physical strength. His loss to Sanada was entirely due to excessive physical exertion at the end. Among the remaining people, the one Liu found difficult to deal with was Niou, who was somewhat similar to Amamiya Lan in that he didn't play according to common sense.
The sixth place was Nioh Masaharu who developed a prototype of the move 'Phantom'. Although he was swept by Yukimura and Amamiya 6-0, he got two points from Mori and three points from Sanada and Yanagi. . The match against Marui and Kirihara was won six to three.
The seventh place, Marui Bunta, relied on his secret skills of 'walking on a tightrope', 'hitting an iron pillar' and other unique tricks to narrowly defeat Jack Kuwahara, and Hiroshi Yagyu, and won the match against Kirihara 6-4.
In eighth place, Jack Kuwahara, although not strong enough, relied on his excellent endurance to extend the game time and narrowly defeated Yagyu and Kirihara with a score of 7 to 5 respectively.
The eight regular selection spots have been decided since then.
Among the remaining people, in order of strength, Hiroshi Yagyu and Kirihara were ranked first, followed closely by Urayama Shota and Shinno Genichi, and the rest were far behind.
Therefore, the quasi-prime candidates are: Hiroshi Yagyu, Akaya Kirihara, Shota Urayama and Genichi Shinno.
……
Kirihara was very sad when he found out his ranking after the game. He didn't expect that after working hard for so long, he couldn't even make it to the main selection. Of course, he knew that training was useful, but he didn't expect that there were so many players in the Rikkai Tennis Club. Someone more powerful than him.
However, this also aroused Kirihara's competitive spirit. He believed that he could definitely become the main candidate, as long as he worked harder and challenged himself one by one.
Although he figured it out, Kirihara was about to cry again. He remembered the agreement he made with Amamiya-senpai: if he is elected as the main candidate, Amamiya-senpai will give him the latest game console.
After staying in the corner and feeling sad for a while, Kirihara regained his composure and went out to participate in training with the other three quasi-chosen.
The training arrangement of Quasi-Selection has the same special menu as that of Main-Selection.
After finding Ryu-senpai and receiving the menu and weights in a polite manner, Kirihara found a corner with few people and started his first training after joining the tennis club.
