NOVEL NEXT Chapter 118
0118 Kelp-headed Kirihara! One man, one goal! A game that Rikkai University cannot avoid!
“Dear students!”
“This year’s Kanto Tournament draw has been completed!”
“This is the provisional match schedule for the first day of the group stage at the Kanto Conference!”
“But when we get to the competition tomorrow, we will also provide one for you!”
“Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope you will get satisfactory results in the Kanto Conference!”
After the draw was completed, Takai Morita opened the lottery box in his hand, signaled to everyone that the draw was fair, and left with a few closing remarks.
His words made many team representatives present smile bitterly.
Get satisfactory results?
The most satisfactory result is naturally the medal representing the champion of the Kanto Conference!
However.
Only one of the 16 teams is qualified to touch this year’s championship medal.
There are only 4 teams that can be called national teams.
And they also focused their attention on the exhibition board with their school names written on it.
First of all!
The teams in Group B and Group C are relatively harmonious.
There are no teams in the two groups that have been particularly outstanding in the Kanto Conference in the past.
It is almost difficult to tell at a glance which team will stand out.
But!
Groups A and D are completely different.
First of all, Group D includes Hyotei Gakuen and the king Rikkai University!!
This group is enough to be called the”death group”.
The representatives of Aioka Chi Junior High School and Kabayama Shin Junior High School, who are in the same group with these two teams, have already looked ashen.
Four to one!
They all feel that their team has no chance!
They even don’t know how to tell the bad news to other teammates in their respective teams.
As for A!
Fudomine Junior High School!
This name made the representatives of the other three teams in A who came to draw lots look stiff.
They sat at a relatively backward position in the venue.
The captain of Shonan Jounari – Takahisa Kajimoto!
Ever since he saw that Kitakyo drew the A1 spot, he felt a little headache.
If it were in Group B and Group C.
He has absolute confidence that his Shonan Jounari can beat any other team and enter the nationals.
But.
Fudomine Junior High School….
His confidence was already wavering before the Kanto Conference even started.
For Shonan Cheng, qualifying from Group A would be just as difficult as being in Group D!——”
While others were still looking at the first day’s group match schedule,
Kitakami and Tezuka Kunimitsu had already stood up and walked slowly out of the venue.
In essence, Kitakami attended the draw ceremony today only because he was the head of the Fudomine Tennis Club.
He didn’t care who Fudomine’s opponent was at the Kanto Conference.
Since the draw ceremony was over, they naturally went back!
Others also saw the meaning of Kitakami and Tezuka Kunimitsu’s departure.
They could only sigh inwardly that this was the benefit of having strength as a basis!
Not afraid of any opponent! This was also the attitude that a team that was truly qualified to stand on the national conference court should have.
Sanada Genichirō and Atobe Keigo also watched the two people leave.
Perhaps it was some kind of tacit understanding in the magnetic field.
The two looked at each other inadvertently, and the gunpowder smell that had calmed down after the draw ceremony began rose again.
Kitakami and Tezuka Kunimitsu left the draw venue and returned the same way.
And just as they passed by the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
A Rikkai University student with a kelp-like hairdo and a tennis bag on his back was walking towards them stealthily.
He seemed to be hiding from someone.
He was even mumbling,”Fortunately, fortunately! Today is the draw ceremony for the Kanto Tournament! Vice Minister Sanada should not be in the tennis club at this time!””
“I’ll sneak in later and ask Renji-senpai and the others to help me prove that I’m not late! I just need to pretend to be very tired from training! It will be fine!”
“That’s right! That’s it! I’m such a genius!…..”
“Ouch!”
“Plop——”
Halfway through his self-talk, he turned his head to look straight ahead, and fell to the ground as if he had hit a wall.
“Damn it! Who is it?”
“”Look at the road when you walk!”
Kirihara Akaya fell to the ground and shouted in anger subconsciously.
Beijiang, who was hit by the opponent, did not shake at all.
He just stopped and looked at the kelp head lying in front of him.
“First of all, before letting others see the road, you must learn to see the road yourself!”
“Besides! Now the situation is that you hit me……It’s just because your physical fitness is too poor that you fell to the ground!”
“The reasonable solution is, you apologize! Then I will consider whether to forgive you!”
Kirihara Akaya listened and looked up blankly.
He wants to apologize?!
Hey, hey, hey!
What’s the point?!
But when he subconsciously wanted to stand up and argue, he suddenly found that the two junior high school students in front of him wearing school uniforms with the words Fudomine printed on them looked familiar.
“Are you Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu from Fudomine Junior High School?!”
“That’s right! You look the same as in the photo of Tennis Monthly magazine! I’m absolutely not mistaken!”
Kirihara Akaya’s face showed an excited look that surprised Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Seeing the other party quickly get up and look him up and down,
Kitakyo raised his hand and pressed the other party’s shoulder to keep a distance from him.
At the same time, he looked at the other party again.
The kelp-haired junior high school student in front of him was undoubtedly a member of the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
And he was wearing the official uniform…….Kelp head?
These characteristics made Beijiang realize that the kelp head junior high school student in front of him should be the only sophomore regular in the current Rikkai University team.
Kirihara Akaya!
Similarly, he is also a junior in the team that Yukimura Seiichi and others have high hopes for.
At this stage, he should just barely enter the Kanto level.
However!
The opponent’s potential is indeed good.
Even if he can’t compare with the talented players in the first echelon composed of Tezuka Kunimitsu, Toyama Kintaro and others, he is still qualified to be ranked in the second echelon!
“You are here to participate in the lottery, right? Since you are at Rikkai University! Are you interested in visiting our tennis club?”
“Oh, right! My name is Kirihara Akaya! I’m a sophomore at Rikkai University!”
“And more! You two, play a match with me! Although you are all national-level players, my strength is not bad either!”
“If you don’t dare, then forget it!”
Kirihara Akaya spoke continuously like a chatterbox, causing Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu to twitch their eyes slightly.
But they also understood what Kirihara Akaya meant. He wanted to find the two of them to compete!
Tezuka Kunimitsu subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, he came here with Kitakyo today, but he never thought about playing against the regular players of Rikkai University!
But Kitakyo spoke before him:”It doesn’t matter! Since you are here at Rikkai University, and the regular players have been invited, just take a look!”
“Besides! Tezuka! Inui Sadaharu has also joined Rikkai University! You may have a chance to meet him again, just think of it as meeting an old friend!”
As he said that, he motioned to Kirihara Akaya to lead the way!
Kirihara Akaya’s expression suddenly lit up, and he quickly said:”I knew you would be interested!”
“Come on! Come this way! Let us show you how powerful our king, Rikkai University, is!”
“……”
Tezuka Kunimitsu followed Kitakyo’s steps and walked towards the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
There was a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Based on his understanding of Kitakyo, the other party would not pay attention to Kirihara Akaya’s invitation at this time.
He didn’t think Kitakyo would be interested in the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
Not to mention to increase the chances of winning in the next game and inquire about the training of the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
But if Kitakyo didn’t say it, he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask.
He believed that Kitakyo must have his own reasons.
Inside the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
When Kirihara Akaya appeared with Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
As expected. It directly attracted onlookers.
Although the number of members in the Rikkai University Tennis Club is not as exaggerated as the 200 people in Hyotei Academy.
But there are still dozens of people.
And at this moment.[]
Headed by Yanagi Renji,
Marui Bunta and other regular members, as well as Tezuka Kunimitsu’s former teammate Inui Sadaharu, all gathered together.
“Senior Lian Er! Hey! Why do you look so ugly?”
“Did you recognize who these two people are?”
“Senior Qian! You must know Tezuka Kunimitsu! You and he were both regulars in Seigaku!”
Kirihara Akaya saw Yanagi Renji and the others looking at him with unfriendly expressions, and for a moment he was a little confused.
When Yanagi Renji heard this, his eyes twitched slightly.
“Kirihara……Who asked you to bring them two into the tennis club?”
“”What’s going on in your head?”
As he said that, without giving Kirihara Akaya a chance to explain, he directly pulled him behind him.
Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara held Kirihara Akaya in tacit understanding, and Yagyu Rubis even covered his mouth.
Although they usually take good care of Kirihara Akaya, a second-year junior.
If the other party is lazy during training, as long as he is not discovered by Sanada Genichirō, they will turn a blind eye.
But now!
The other party is obviously in trouble!
If Sanada Genichirō knew that the other party brought the players of Fudomine to the tennis club, I am afraid the punishment will definitely not be light!
In case the other party says something again, making the situation more complicated.
It is better for the other party to shut up honestly!
Yanagi Renji sighed, and slowly walked in front of Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu
“Sorry, you two! I made you laugh!”
“Although Kirihara is a regular player, he has never followed the rules of the tennis club! The Rikkai University tennis club has a rule that non-members cannot enter without permission!”
“So, please leave, both of you!”
“After the national conference this year, if you are interested in visiting our Rikkai University Tennis Club, I would be happy to accompany you in person!”
Even in the Rikkai University Tennis Club.
Even as a”military advisor” of one of the”Big Three”.
Yanagi Renji was very polite in his words to Kitakyo and Tezuka Kunimitsu.
He explained the reasons and did not take a tough attitude because of the status of the host.
As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person.
Kitakyo said softly:”Tezuka and I didn’t want to come to your tennis club originally, but it was mainly because of the sincere invitation of your regular player!”
“After all, I don’t want outsiders to misunderstand me! Tezuka and I came to the Kanto Conference to find out about the training of other teams!”
“but……Before you leave! There is something you need to take care of first!”
“He said he wanted to challenge me and Tezuka!”
“Forget about Tezuka, let him reminisce with Inui Sadaharu!”
“I’m quite interested in playing with your regular candidate!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present except Tezuka Kunimitsu raised his eyebrows slightly, and then quickly regained his calm expression.
Yanagi Renji and others and the ordinary members of Rikkai University present all had different expressions.
“Kirihara challenges Northern Frontier?”
“No way! Is he crazy? Beijiang is a national-level player! He is a national-level player who shut out Keigo Atobe!”
“Kirihara has always been very courageous! He was late several times because he took the wrong train and went to challenge other schools’ tennis clubs!”
“Yes! The deputy minister seemed to have punished him many times!”
“This is great! I challenged Northern Frontier, and they accepted it! If I don’t fight, there will be no way to end it!”
“The Kanto Conference is coming soon, maybe we can see the strength of Northern Frontier in this game?”
“That makes sense! Anyway, with so many of us here, the deputy minister will surely be back soon! Are you still worried about something going to happen?”
“Kirihara!! Fight him!! We support you!!”
“Yes!! Let Fudomine see the style of our Rikkai University Tennis Club!!”
“……”
Kirihara Akaya seemed to be getting excited after hearing the voices of support. He broke free from the hands of Marui Bunta and the others who hadn’t reacted yet, and rushed to Kitakami’s side.
“I’ll fight you……”Woo woo woo!!”
But before he could finish, Yanagi Renji covered his mouth again.
Then he glanced at the other members who were making a fuss on the side.
In an instant, they all shut their mouths in embarrassment.
Yanagi Renji snorted coldly and turned to look at Kitakami again:”Minister Kitakami! Kirihara is only a sophomore player, and you are a third-year player!”
“I know the difference in your strength! There is no need to use a game to prove who is better!”
After hearing this, Beijiang smiled softly and said,”Rikkai University knows how to protect its junior players! But don’t worry, it’s just for fun!”
“Let’s put it this way, just one game! He serves! If he gets one point, he wins!”
“You know, he bumped into me just now and didn’t even say sorry!”
“If he wins, it’s all written off! If he loses, just apologize to me! That’s not too much, right?”
It’s come to this!
Yanagi Renji couldn’t help but frown slightly.
If he didn’t fight, people would probably think that Rikkai University was afraid of Fudomine.
After a moment’s silence,
Yanagi Renji let go of Kirihara Akaya and said slowly:”Since Minister Kitakami said so, then let’s do as you say!”
“Kirihara! Warm up!”
Kirihara Akaya regretted that the final game would be decided in one round.
And he would win as long as he scored one goal.
He felt that he was underestimated.
But it was better to play one round than not to have a chance to play!
He nodded heavily and ran to the side to start warming up.
The other members of Rikkai also walked away in twos and threes, giving up the nearest training field.
But obviously, none of them wanted to miss the idea of watching this game.
They occupied what they thought was the best viewing position, looking forward to it.
Kitakyo turned and walked towards Tezuka Kunimitsu, whispering a few words in his ear.
The latter’s eyes flashed. He nodded slightly to show that he understood.
2 minutes later.
Kitakyo stood on the training court, holding a racket lent to him by a Rikkai team member.
And Kirihara Akaya, who had finished warming up, was also standing on the opposite court with fighting spirit.
Holding a tennis ball in his hand, his eyes were fixed on Kitakyo.
Due to the special nature of this game, there is no need for a so-called referee.
Everyone present was a witness to this game.
And at this moment, Sanada Genichirō walked into the gate of the tennis club with his usual serious expression.
It can be seen that no one in the tennis club is training, but they are all gathered around a training court.
Standing on the court were Kirihara Akaya and Kitakyo.
The two seemed to be having a game!
He subconsciously wanted to scold angrily.
However.
Before he could open his mouth, Yanagi Renji was already standing beside him:”Sanada, let Kirihara play this game!”
Sanada Genichirō frowned.
“What a joke!”
“Renji! Have you forgotten the rules of the tennis club too?”
Renji Yanagi knew that the other party was very principled, but he still briefly told him what had happened.
After understanding what had happened, Genichirō Sanada whispered angrily:”Kirihara, this guy! He is so lazy!”
“Not only was he late for training, but he was also caught by Fudomine!”
Even though he had already thought of how to punish Kirihara Akaya, he did not mention stopping the game.
Kirihara Akaya can’t avoid this game!
Rikkai University can’t hide either!
All they can do now is to use this game to see the tennis of Northern Xinjiang with their own eyes!
