NOVEL WEB Chapter 88 Winners and Losers Bracket
After the game, a dedicated staff member took them out of the base gate. When they saw a bus actually parked at the door, members of other schools could no longer bear the sadness of parting and hugged each other.
But everyone in Tachikai University was a little different: Sanada clenched his fists and looked at Amamiya Arashi with gritted teeth; Kuwahara looked helpless, but did not forget to tell Marui to take good care of himself; Yagyu looked like he suddenly understood, with eyes in his eyes. He is still full of fighting spirit against Niou; Qi Principle looks like he wants to cry or not...
The faces of the few people standing opposite them were completely different from the faces of the members from other schools! Amamiya Arashi, Yukimura, Yanagi and Nioh all had the same smile on their faces. As for Marui, after listening to the words of Amamiya Lan and the four others, a similar smile appeared on his face.
To an uninformed person, one might simply think that there is no 'friendship' between members of the Ritsukai Tennis Club.
……
"Bang~" Sanada's fist, which he hadn't released until he got into the car, finally struck down, but this time the 'victim' was just the back of the seat.
Originally, even if he was eliminated, Sanada would not be so angry, but he remembered that Amamiya Arashi and the four of them had already guessed the intentions of the coaching staff, but he was not aware of it at all... If Nioh was not among the people discovered by these four people , maybe even though Sanada will be angry, he won’t get more and more angry like he is now!
……
After watching their teammates leave, the remaining 20 or so junior high school students need to return to the court to start the next training.
When the junior high school students who returned to the training ground saw dozens of training items, most of them expressed surprise, especially the young students who had never trained much.
"Is this the training schedule starting tomorrow?" Kikumaru looked at the long list in surprise, "Is it such a large amount?!"
"Who told you this starts tomorrow!" A strange voice refuted Kikumaru's words. Hearing this, Kikumaru asked in disbelief, "Is it starting from now?"
The muscular man in a short vest on the high platform said coldly, "Start training now. These projects need to be completed within six hours. Although three hours is enough for high school students, I still give you twice as much time. You You should learn to be grateful.”
The junior high school students below started talking, and the coach on the stage shouted angrily, "There is no time for you to waste now. If someone can't complete the training within the stipulated time, then get out of the training base." Bar!"
As soon as the coach's words came down, the Rikkai members, who usually trained only a little less than this piece of paper but had no time limit, had already stepped up their time and started training.
Seeing that Tatekai had already taken the lead in taking action, members of Hyotei and Shitenhoji Temple also started training. Kikumaru, who originally wanted to complain, looked at everyone who was working hard, then looked at Oishi's racket, and cheered up. Start training.
……
The training of the winning group here is still going on in an orderly manner, while on the other side of the losing group, except for a few members of Tachibana University who already know that this is not sending them away at all, everyone else is silent in the car.
The bus drove for about ten minutes, and finally stopped suddenly in a forest. Everyone on the bus was puzzled by this, but the driver had no idea of explaining it, and instead drove them off fiercely.
"Hey! You..." After getting off the bus, Youchu Junior High School was unconvinced. However, when they were about to 'reason' with the driver, they seemed to hear a familiar voice.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time~"
Following the sound, the junior high school students saw a tall man in a white suit. This man was Saito, the spiritual coach who had made them think it was a doubles match, but turned out to be a singles knockout match.
Standing next to him were two children whom Seigaku and Shitenhoji had not found for a long time - Echizen Ryoma and Toyama Kintaro.
"Coach Saito!? And Echizen and Toyama?"
"Why are you here Echizen?"
"What were you doing before, Echizen?"
"Xiao Jin, everyone is worried about you..."
……
"Ah? Sorry, sorry. I went on an adventure with Chaozen before and got lost, haha." Kintaro Toyama put his hands behind his head and said with a smile. Finally, he asked Echizen, "Yeah, Chaozen!"
"That's about it." Ryoma Echizen closed his eyes and sighed.
After several people finished talking, Coach Saito began to ask them to quiet down, "Then my real work begins."
"What's going on! Where is this place?"
"Aren't we eliminated?"
The eliminated junior high school students realized something was wrong and whispered.
"Ahem, yes, you were eliminated." Coach Saito interrupted them with a cough, "But if you are willing to accept failure, you can leave along the road behind you now."
Hearing this, they already knew that they might still have a chance to return to the training base.
Seeing the light begin to reappear in the eyes of the young people, Saito stopped talking and pointed directly at the mountain behind him and said: "If you don't want to distance yourself from the remaining members, then come and climb this mountain. "
While the junior high school students were thinking about the coach's intentions, Echizen Ryoma and Toyama Kintaro were already walking towards the mountain one after another.
"Hey! Echizen." Several people from Qingxue looked at each other in shock when they saw their junior brother leaving.
Then, those junior high school students who were still thinking began to move towards the mountain. After all, rather than being eliminated directly, you still have a chance to stay. That’s so ‘lucky’, isn’t it?
Seeing the junior high school students starting to act according to what he had in mind, Saito couldn't help but laugh, and then left a message of "good luck to you!" and then left the dense forest and returned to the U-17 training base.
……
While the losing team was trying to climb the mountain, the winning team was also feeling uncomfortable. They were gradually completing the training sheet given by the muscular coach.
Thinking about high school students completing these tasks in three hours, and then thinking about the coach's dismissive tone. Amangong Lan gritted his teeth and accelerated his training. At the same time, Yukimura and Yanagi looked at each other and speeded up in unison. Nioh and Marui sighed helplessly, but in the end they still wanted to keep up with the three Yukimuras, so... ...The two of them also started to fight hard.
Seeing the five members of the Rikkai group suddenly rolled up, the members of other schools were all confused, but the few who understood their intentions were such as Atobe Keigo, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Tezuka Kunimitsu... I couldn't help but start to speed up my training.
