NOVEL NEXT Chapter 116
0116 Kanto Tournament draw! The focus of the whole audience!
Another week has passed.
Early morning.
In front of Kitakami’s house.
Kitakami and Toyama Kintaro go out together.
Unlike Toyama Kintaro, who wears a tennis jersey and a tennis bag,
Kitakami wears the regular school uniform of Fudomine Junior High School, and does not seem to have any intention of joining the tennis club.
At Kitakami’s house, Tezuka Kunimitsu is also waiting in school uniform.
“Brother Beijiang! Will we meet all the teams participating in the Kanto Conference at the lottery ceremony today?”
“Can’t I go and take a look too? I’m lucky too! Maybe I can draw a good lot!”
Toyama Kintaro came up to Kitako and made his last effort.
Ever since he knew that there would be a lot drawing ceremony for the Kanto Conference, he would tentatively ask Kitako from time to time.
But Kitako obviously didn’t agree.
Seeing that the other party was still”not giving up”, Beijiang smiled.
“Things like luck are fake in the face of strength!”
“Besides, do you think our team needs a good draw to win the Kanto Conference championship?”
“”Okay! Let’s go to the tennis club! If you finish today’s training, I’ll ask John to buy you some takoyaki!”
Hearing this, Toyama Kintaro nodded desperately.
“”Okay, okay! Brother Beijiang, you have to keep your word!”
As he said that, he said hello to Tezuka Kunimitsu, and then hurriedly ran towards Fudomine Junior High School.
His mind was obviously filled with a reward of takoyaki.
Ever since his diet was regulated, he almost counted the days to eat takoyaki.
His curiosity about the Kanto Conference lottery ceremony was not as important as the takoyaki that could be eaten.
Tezuka Kunimitsu also smiled bitterly:”Xiao Jin, he is really……So foolish!”
Beijiang raised his eyebrows:”Fooling? No! He just knows what is more important in his heart!”
“Oh, right! Qingxue was eliminated! You should know that, right?”
Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded slightly.
“I received a call from Aaron on the day of the loser’s revival match!”
“Although it’s a pity, it may not be a bad thing for Tao and Kaitang!”
“They are only sophomores now. I believe they can lead Seigaku into the Kanto Tournament next year!”
Beijiang did not comment. To be honest, ever since he brought Tezuka Kunimitsu to Fudomine, the other regular players of Seigaku have left the tennis club.
The final result of Seigaku is basically doomed.
Even if the level of the Metropolitan Tournament is nothing, it would be surprising if the remnants of Seigaku like Momoshiro Takeshi could enter the Kanto Tournament with the name of Seigaku.
However, next year, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaidou Kaoru are still more talented than many of their peers.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will not be a problem for them to advance to the top Kanto level!
In fact, from now until next year, all the players in the team will be eliminated.
They trained very hard for the national tournament.
The national threshold may not be impossible for them!
By then, the Qingxue Tennis Club can be said to have really grown with the help of the young generation like them!
It’s about an hour’s journey.
Kitakami and Tezuka Kunimitsu also came to the destination of this year’s Kanto Tournament draw ceremony!
Kanagawa, Kanto.
Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School!
In the Japanese junior high school tennis world, this name is equivalent to a king status that cannot be ignored.
Two consecutive national championships.
Fifteen consecutive championships in the Kanto Tournament.
The title of the king Rikkai University stands firm, and this record is their greatest confidence.
“The existence of the”Big Three” made them the opponents that no one in the current Japanese junior high school tennis world wanted to face.
Of course!
This was the situation before Beijiang came to Japan!
Starting from this session……
Their vision of winning three consecutive national championships has begun to fade away!
It’s just that it hasn’t happened yet due to time constraints! This is the first time that Beijiang has participated in the Kanto Conference draw ceremony.
He saw that a welcome banner for the Kanto Conference draw ceremony had already been hung at the school gate.
There were even female students in school skirts standing at the school gate to greet and guide them.
He couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows:”It’s quite orderly! You can tell at a glance that this is not the first time that the draw ceremony has been held at Rikkai University!”
Tezuka Kunimitsu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
“The Kanto Tournament draw ceremony will be held at the champion school of the previous Kanto Tournament!”
“Rikkai University is the undisputed top team in Kanto! They have almost turned the Kanto Tournament draw ceremony into their own school festival!”
“Naturally, everything is in order!”
Beijiang shook his head:”Tezuka, you can’t say that……After all, they will have one less festival next year!”As he finished speaking
“Tezuka? Northern Xinjiang?”
“I didn’t expect this…….You guys really take the Kanto Conference draw seriously!”
“What? Have you lost confidence?”
A familiar arrogant voice sounded behind them.
Kitakyo and the others knew without turning their heads that there was no other possibility except that guy Atobe Keigo.
When Atobe Keigo and Fuji Shusuke stood in front of Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Fuji Shusuke seemed not as soft as before.
The forearm muscles were slightly expanded compared to the past.
Kitakyo could see that the opponent had significantly improved his arm strength.
And Atobe Keigo was a little”embarrassed”.
He was wearing a neat Hyotei school uniform and had a few scratches on his face.
It can almost be assumed that he was injured by tennis.
If it wasn’t for some special circumstances, there was only one explanation.
He trained very hard!
“Are you provoking me?” When
Atobe Keigo saw Beijiang’s calm gaze directed at him, his expression suddenly froze.
“I……”
Although Keigo Atobe didn’t want to be so embarrassed in front of Beijiang, he subconsciously panicked when he saw the other’s gaze. His pride and fighting spirit, which had just been shattered by Beijiang at the Metropolitan Conference, had only been put together a few days ago.
Now the cracks were revealed again.
Seeing this, Fuji Shusuke spoke softly to smooth things over.
“Northern Xinjiang, Tezuka! I haven’t seen you for more than half a month…….”
“I hope that there will be a chance for our two teams to play against each other again at the Kanto Conference!”
“This time, we are very confident……”
Fuji Shusuke’s tone was still very gentle.
Kitakyo also withdrew his gaze from Atobe Keigo.
He did not speak to suppress him or show disdain, but just said lightly:”Then wait and see how you perform…….”
“Just don’t let me down!”
As he said that, he walked towards the interior of Rikkai University.
Atobe Keigo looked at Kitakyo’s slow figure leaving, and he gritted his teeth in frustration.
Tezuka Kunimitsu shook his head:”Atobe, although we haven’t had much contact in the past two years!”
“As the minister of Hyotei, your leadership is undoubtedly excellent!”
“But you should be clear about one thing, as a player who wants to stand on the court, you seem to have always forgotten that strength is the prerequisite for standing at a higher level!”
Atobe Keigo stared in a daze at Tezuka Kunimitsu who said this to him and chased after Kitakyo’s figure and left.
After reacting, he did not show any displeasure.
On the contrary.
He lowered his eyes slightly and fell into silence.
Fuji Shusuke looked at him and said softly:”Maybe Tezuka is right! No matter how we want to prove our strength, we still have to do it through our performance in the game!”
“but……”
“Atobe! I believe you can let them see your evolution! The same goes for me, Echizen, Oshitari and the others! I will use my strength to prove that Hyotei has transformed at the Metropolitan Conference!”
Atobe Keigo turned his head to look at Fuji Shusuke who was comforting him, and his signature smile rose again.
“Really……”
“I won’t let my fighting spirit be shaken like this!”
“Kanto Conference……I will definitely wipe out the disastrous defeat of the Metropolitan Conference!!”
Five minutes later, led by a female student from Rikkai University, Kitakyo, Tezuka Kunimitsu, and followed by Atobe Keigo and Fuji Shusuke, all arrived at the lottery ceremony venue.
“Yo!”
“Isn’t this Hyotei and Fudomine? What a coincidence!”
“”Atobe, do you want me to lend you my good luck? Otherwise, if you draw Fudo Peak today, you must not lose your temper!”
Sengoku Kiyomizu, who was signing in, saw the four people from Beijiang and immediately raised his hand to greet them.
He even came in front of Atobe Keigo, and his words were like a sharp knife, which made Atobe Keigo glare at him fiercely.
That’s right!
In the loser’s revival match of the metropolitan conference.
Seigaku was eliminated.
St. Rudolph Academy’s Kanzuki was injured, and the gap between the brothers Fuji Yuta and Fuji Shusuke disappeared, and they also transferred to Hyotei.
Naturally, there was no chance to break through the siege.
Yamabuki Junior High School also became the last team to break through and revive.
“How is your health, old man?”
Beijiang asked Qianshi Qingchun calmly.
“Accompanying the elderly? ��Of course it’s good! Beijiang, do you have anything to do with him?”
“Yes, but there is no rush! I will tell you when I see him in person later!”
Qian Shiqingchun looked at Beijiang who just asked a question and signed in with Tezuka Kunimitsu and walked into the lottery venue.
He was a little confused.
“Jibu, you said Beijiang asked our coach what he was doing with the old man?” (To read the exciting novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
“He’s not going to ask Ban Lao to be the coach of their Fudomine tennis club, is he?”
The idea that suddenly popped up in Sengoku Kiyosumi’s head startled himself. Atobe Keigo’s eyes twitched, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He signed in and walked into the venue. Fuji
Shusuke also shook his head helplessly.
He felt that Sengoku Kiyosumi’s train of thought was too strange.
However!!
If Beijiang knew what they were thinking now, he would probably give Sengoku Kiyosumi a thumbs up.
Congratulations! You guessed it right!
But only half!
Because he really wanted to ask Ban Lao to be a coach.
It’s just that he is not the coach of the Fudomine tennis club, but the doubles coach of the U.S. U-17 team!
Although Banda Mikiya has always been the doubles coach of junior high school tennis.
But it is undeniable.
In the tactical arrangement and adjustment of doubles, he has done everything a coach can do.[]
What he lacked was help in improving the players’ individual strength. But if he joined the U.S. U-17, everything would be different!
The opponent could fully play in the doubles formation, and the players’ individual strength would no longer be a shackle to restrict the doubles tactics……..
Beijiang couldn’t guarantee it either.
Is it enough for Ban Tian Kan’ya to come out and become the doubles coach of the U-17 team of the United States? In the draw venue.
When Beijiang and Tezuka Kunimitsu appeared.
The representatives of nearly ten teams that had arrived all cast different glances at him.
“Fudo Peak……”
“Is he Beijiang?……”
“As expected! Just as the rumors said, even though Tezuka Kunimitsu is a national-level player, the backbone of Fudomine is still Kitakami!”
“Didn’t Tachibana Yoshihei, one of the two heroes of Kyushu, come today? It seems that even Tachibana Yoshihei has to be ranked third in Fudo Peak!”
“The Metropolitan Conference shuts out Keigo Atobe……This record is enough to make the whole country proud!”
“Yes! Even those three from Rikkai University! I’m afraid they can’t do this!”
“…….”
The representatives of each team came to participate in the draw.
Some of them were talking to each other in the same team.
Some exchanged glances with other familiar teams.
As if.
Kitakami and Tezuka Kunimitsu, who stood half a step behind him, became the focus of the whole audience.
And the people like Atobe Keigo who entered the venue behind Kitakami and the two of them were subconsciously ignored by those teams.
There was no way!
The name Kitakami had been widely spread in the Japanese junior high school world before the start of this year’s national competition.
Although at first everyone thought he was just a friend of Tezuka Kunimitsu and a low-key national-level player.
But when Fudo Mine started from the regional qualifiers, he defeated Hyotei 3-0 in the Kanto competition more than half a month ago.
Kitakami completely defeated Hyotei’s emperor Atobe Keigo in full view of the public.
Everyone got to know Fudo Mine better.
And this genius captain who led this small fish team that had never been heard of in the past to win the championship of the metropolitan conference with dazzling results – Kitakami!!
At this time.
Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at the people present as if they had nothing to do with it.
They found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the lottery ceremony to officially begin.
Rikkai University Tennis Club.
Sanada Genichirō, wearing a black baseball cap, was watching the training of the members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club with a serious expression.
Until Yanagi Renji and Inui Sadaharu, who transferred to Rikkai University, came over together.
“Deputy Minister, the time for the draw ceremony is almost here! As a student representative, you should go to the venue! The organizers have also arrived!”
Inui Sadaharu spoke slowly, and his expression under the black-framed glasses on his nose seemed much calmer than before.
Although his tennis skills did not make him a regular player at Rikkai University.
But!
With the help of his elementary school friend Yanagi Renji, he quickly integrated into the Rikkai University tennis team.
And!
It was only after he entered Rikkai University that he realized how big the gap was between the former Seigaku and a team like Rikkai University.
This gap is……
Rikkai University has the ability to easily enter the national tournament.
And even with Tezuka Kunimitsu, the former pillar, it is difficult for Seigaku to take this step!
Upon hearing this, Sanada Genichirō turned around and said in a deep voice:”Inui! Thank you for your reminder! Do you want to go with me? After all, Tezuka and Fuji Shusuke, as players of Fudomine and Hyotei, may also be present today!”
Inui Sadaharu shook his head:”No! I still have my work to do! Besides, my current goal is to become a regular player of Rikkai University!”
“Before completing this step, I’m not ready to face them!”
Genichirō Sanada nodded and no longer insisted.
Then he looked at Renji Yanagi.
The latter said softly:”In this kind of situation, Sanada, you can come alone! I have to go to the hospital later. I’m still a little worried about Yukimura!”
Genichirō Sanada narrowed his eyes and strode towards the gate of the tennis club.
“Rikkai University’s Sandaha will not be stopped by anything!”
“Even if Yukimura was standing here, he would say the same thing!”
Yanagi Renji and Inui Sadaharu turned their heads and looked at each other.
The latter exhaled softly:”So, what will happen if Yukimura’s operation fails?”
The former was silent for a few seconds
“You and Yukimura have only met a few times, so you don’t know what kind of person he is!”
“Sanada, I, and everyone else! We all don’t believe that he will be defeated by the so-called illness!”
“Now that he has made the decision to go through with the surgery, we believe he will succeed!”
“What I care about is……”
“Why would the world’s top expert in the field of Guillain-Barré syndrome suddenly appear in Japan! And offer Yukimura a surgical plan!” Hearing the last sentence, Qian Zhenzhi also showed doubt on his face.
Yes!
All this is a bit too coincidental!.
