"I heard that your team is going to Neon for a coaching competition the day after tomorrow?"
In the room, a young boy asked someone sitting on the balcony dozing on the other side.
"Arranged by the sponsor."
The man answered with a slightly impatient tone, as if he hated this arrangement.
"If you get tired of it, stop the team activities and go back to the United States."
Looking at his somewhat troubled expression, Reinhard said to him.
"I've been a little tired of it lately, so I might as well lose this game to Neon."
"That group of sponsors should give up."
Hearing this, the young man spoke with a bit of malice, not caring at all how troublesome his words would be.
Nash Goldo Jr (freshman)!
Known as the Demon King Nash!
He is a well-known player from the United States.
He single-handedly established a powerful team named Jabberwock that traveled around the world and worked hard with the goal of challenging the profession.
"Did you lose on purpose?"
"Can you really do it?"
Reinhard laughed when he heard this. Although Nash was so talkative, it was only in front of his best friend.
He knew very well the competitiveness hidden in Nash's heart and his somewhat bad character.
It's just that because of his presence, he is changing and restraining himself.
Because his philosophy itself is an attempt to change the individualistic American team.
Nash didn't want to hinder Reinhardt's progress.
Reinhard said to get along well with each other, so he listened.
But when it comes to foreign players, Nash is not so friendly.
When he challenged people all over the world, he never made a measured move, so his personal reputation was quite polarized.
"never mind."
"That's it anyway. This year we should pay more attention to new competitions."
"I still can't think of how to beat the German team."
Without thinking too much about the upcoming coaching session, Nash's tone became a little lower.
He once tried to challenge that man.
But the end was extremely miserable
You can't win even if you use "eyes" or different dimensions. The strength of your opponent is simply unimaginable.
"Don't worry about so many things for now."
"There's still time."
"Let's take it one step at a time."
There was no urging, and Reinhardt was still very relieved about Nash.
In order to break through the limits, I have been wandering in the world for the sake of victory in the future.
This is what Nash did.
"By the way, you can lend me someone for this coaching competition."
Suddenly thinking of something very important, Nash suddenly spoke to Reinhardt.
"Is there still a shortage of people in your team?"
With doubts, Reinhard didn't understand.
Because of its wandering nature, Jabberwock has included many players from other countries.
In that case, why would you want to borrow someone from him?
"There's nothing I can do about it. That guy Echizen said he was going to visit relatives and had no time to go to the game."
"Some people are temporarily not on the team due to call-ups."
"Noah is the only one who can come."
"There aren't enough people."
It was unspeakable to say such a thing, Nash's face became stiff.
"I see."
"It's indeed that time."
Reinhardt nodded and understood Nash's current difficulty. After all, the time was approaching, and some players would inevitably be called back early.
"What positions are we still lacking?"
"Just anyone can come. Anyway, the coaching match is just for those junior high school students to see high-level tennis."
"It's not like I want to do anything else."
"That's true."
…………
"The list will be officially announced today, right?"
Players from Kanto and Kansai gathered at the training ground and communicated with each other at the same time.
Their uniform red and white uniforms also heralded a changed lineup.
We already know the purpose of this youth tryout from the news announced by Coach Sakaki.
The well-known team Jabberwock will come to Neon for a coaching match.
And the opponents are these junior high school students.
It’s amazing when you think about it.
That's a world-famous team
"I heard that their team is used as a base by masters from all over the world."
"What's the meaning?"
“Jabberwock’s captain Nash is an American, but his team members include players from all over the world.”
"After all, he himself takes the team to challenge all over the world, so there is no better stepping stone than this team."
“Whether it’s a challenge or observation”
“Both are a suitable team shelter”
"There are many young players with ideals who have tried to join them and then traveled around the world to practice."
Receiving such news also made the middle school students' minds become active.
(Similar to but different from the settings in Black Basket.)
Bai Jin was also very surprised when he first got the news. In his memory, this team member seemed to have a rather bad personality, but now it seems a little different.
And he has a vague impression of the captain of the Jabberwock.
Nash has the Eye of the Demon King and can suppress Akashi alone.
But now he doesn't know what it will be like to play tennis. Anyway, he is competing all over the world. It will definitely not be a show-off. Maybe he will be better than playing basketball.
Coupled with the situation of his team, Bai Jin still doesn't know if it is as imagined.
If a master from another country suddenly appears, he might really be able to fight this time.
But at the same time, it also made Bai Jin look forward to it.
What level of master is the opponent?
At the same time, in the office, Coach Sakaki is negotiating with Osamu Watanabe about the candidates for the upcoming game.
“It’s really difficult”
When he saw that Coach Sakaki couldn't decide for a long time, he could understand.
This confrontation with Jabberwock is said to be a tutorial match, but it is also an exposure point.
You can not only compete with these wandering masters, but also experience the different local customs.
To be honest, this is an important experience for some players.
For example, outstanding young people like Shirazu and Tezuka.
As for whether we can win, let’s put a question mark for now.
After all, the opponent is a team that has experienced various competitions, so don't have too good expectations.
………………
"Ah? Isn't the little one at home?"
The next day, after pushing for the game and finally wanting to catch up with a certain younger brother, Echizen Ryuya was suddenly dumbfounded.
He finally took a few days off and found the place where Ryoma was staying temporarily, but found that no matter how hard he knocked on the door, there was no response.
This made Long Ya's mentality a bit shattered!
Brother, he didn’t even come to see you after the game. You’re not at home all of a sudden. That’s too funny.
"little guy!"
He tried calling a few times at the door, but there was still no response. Long Ya scratched his head, feeling a little confused.
"Where did you go?"
After waiting for a long time, he sighed, and then tried to find the manager of the residence to ask about the situation.
But when he learned the news, he was completely embarrassed.
"Huh? Because of Jabberwock's open coaching competition."
"The little one went to Neon?"
PS: This chapter is a monthly ticket stamp!
Ah, I feel a little uncomfortable today, to be honest.
