National competition draw venue
"No, aren't the people from Kanto too young?"
"You don't know, right? I heard that the top four schools in Kanto still have first-year ministers."
"Hmph, they're just a bunch of brats. My super tennis ball can easily kill them."
"Before you talk big, you should weigh your own weight first."
Among the people communicating, the few people sitting at the front were so dazzling.
Akashi, Shirazu.
Yukimura, Sanada.
Tezuka, Fuji.
Jibu, Renzu.
The eight people didn't feel too strange. The four ministers sat at the front, and Shirazu Sanada and the others sat in the second row.
(Atobe guy, why don’t you let Jirou come over.)
Renzu wiped his glasses and looked at the people sitting around him, feeling very stressed.
Perhaps because they wanted to boost their aura, each school sent out its ministers and second-in-commands.
Regardless of who the director is, just looking at Shirazu, Sanada, and Fuji, the lineup is unbearable.
"So, we are really lucky to have one more spot."
Qianshi sat on the right seat across these people and smiled at Haizaki.
"Tsk, why do you want me to come?"
"There is nothing I can do, Akutsu refuses to come."
Facing Haizaki's question, Qianshi responded helplessly, that guy is still practicing in the mountains.
If Qianshi could support the scene by shouting, why wouldn't he want to do it?
To be honest, they Yamabuki were really lucky.
This year's national competition should be out of the question for them.
But who knows that starting from this year, there will be one more place in Tokyo.
As a result, the only four schools that originally participated were Teikou, Seigaku, Rikkai University, and Hyotei, with the addition of the fifth strongest Yamabuki.
"Shiraishi, I may not be able to make you like them this year, but try your best."
"It will be yours next year."
Sitting in the seat of Shitenhoji Temple, Ping Zenzhi glanced at the Shiraishi he brought and said straightforwardly.
"Minister, if you say this, senior Hara Tetsuya will be sad."
Shiraishi smiled bitterly, feeling really flattered for no reason.
You must know that the position of minister is supposed to be passed down from the third grade to the successor of the second grade.
It’s rare to become a minister directly from the first grade.
This is a "tradition" that many sports societies adhere to, highlighting a role of mentoring and mentoring.
Therefore, Teikou, Qingxue, Hyotei, and Tatekai Dai are different species.
But if there are more abnormal situations, it will become a normal phenomenon.
Just in terms of momentum alone, they already lost one quarter.
The minister here is a very good first-year student, and he has a promising future.
Are you still a third-year minister there? Is there no successor?
As soon as similar comparisons come out, they are directly inferior to others out of thin air.
This also profoundly made other schools feel the urgency and importance.
It can only be said that the "bad" atmosphere in Kanto has suffocated them a bit.
Forget about the crazy strength test, why are you taking the position of minister?
Even a school based on comedy like Tiantianbao Temple was made uncomfortable by this kind of atmosphere.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for them to resist this phenomenon.
After all, the four first-year ministers really led the school very well and achieved new results and new heights.
Isn’t this more useful than the remnants of the old era?
Voices of doubt will also begin to spread, and people will begin to recognize the emergence of this new tradition.
Otherwise Taira Zenyuki wouldn't be under such great pressure. He made the decision after discussing with Osamu Watanabe and Tetsuya Hara.
After playing this year, he will be considered a graduate. After that, Zenyuki Taira will be in the third grade, and Shiraishi has just entered the second grade, so he still has a great chance.
All of them have high expectations for Shiraishi.
Even though the people in Kanto are terrifyingly strong, it doesn't mean they give up.
"Ahem. Let's start the lottery now."
"First up, Lion Music Middle School! Please come on stage!"
"arrive!"
The official presiding officer began to organize the information and at the same time posted the corresponding serial number on the drawing board at the back.
"Ah hum, if we meet them all in the first round, wouldn't it be full of fun?"
Atobe leaned on the chair, crossed his legs, looked at the battle table in front of him and smiled.
"Do you want to be carried out first? Atobe."
Yukimura was immediately amused by him when he heard this. After communicating with Hyotei for so long, wouldn't he know that Atobe was weak?
Among the four strong schools, your Ice King has the weakest bench.
Look at Di Guang, Qing Xue and Li Hai Da, the quality of singles and doubles is guaranteed to a certain extent.
You Hyotei, apart from Atobe himself, has two skills, who among your teammates is not one or two levels behind you?
"Ah"
"."
Akashi and Tezuka did not express any opinions on this. In their view, the national competition is a pure competition of strength.
But there are no special rules like the Kanto Tournament as a backing to allow you to perform.
"You will be proud this year."
He didn't care about the embarrassing situation of being exposed, but Atobe was also aware of Hyokui's situation.
Compared with Diguang, Qingxue, and Li Haidai, his Ice Emperor's foundation is indeed much worse.
"However, if we meet them in the first round, it will really be a river of blood."
Fuji opened his eyes, looked at the schools gradually coming to the stage, and whispered.
"Spare me. It's too embarrassing to go on a round trip or something."
This is why Renzu feels so stressed. Even if he exercises, whether he can win by closing the gap is another matter.
"Humph, so lazy!"
"No matter what, it's fine."
Sanada and Shirazu didn't care what the result was in the first round. In their opinion, all they needed to do was defeat the opponent in front of them and move forward.
"Hyotei Academy!"
"arrive!"
Thinking of the Ice King, Renzu immediately stood up and walked to the front desk to draw the prize.
"A bye?"
"I don't know if it's luck or misfortune."
After taking a look at the location, Renzu couldn't feel at ease.
Although it is a bye in the first round, it depends on who the next opponent is.
"Tachikai Grand Attachment!"
"Youth Academy!"
"Shitenhoji Middle School!"
Familiar names kept being called, and the grouping gradually became clear.
"Teiko Middle School!"
"Hi!"
Standing up lazily, Bai Jin went to take out the spot that belonged to Di Guang with an expressionless face.
"Is this really God's arrangement?"
When they saw the numbers drawn by Di Guang clearly, everyone realized the strange distribution on the battle table.
There are 32 schools, among which the first byes are Hyotei, Rikkai University, Seigaku, and Teikou.
It is strange that all the four top schools in Kanto received a bye in the first round.
but
"Will the winner face Di Guang?"
According to the promotion plan, Shitenboji and Hyotei will meet in the third round, which is the quarterfinals, and the winner will meet Teikou in the semifinals.
And the other side.
Li Hai University will meet Lions in the third round
Qingxue met Yamabuki for the third time.
