"Hey, little one."
"You're still too young."
After hitting the ball back easily, Long Ya looked at the panting Ryoma and said.
"I will definitely become more powerful than you!"
After wiping his sweat, Ryoma was not discouraged, but said firmly.
"Haha, then I'll wait for you in front."
Turning around and carrying the racket, Long Ya was very happy.
Ever since he was able to use his own perfect ability to suppress and devour, he no longer had so many worries about playing.
No matter who he was with, he could enjoy it wholeheartedly.
And with Ryoma, they can happily fight till the end of time.
This was a scene that Long Ya could not imagine before.
"You two! It's time to eat!"
"coming!"
"Tsk"
Following Nanjiro's shout, the two of them answered each other, and then walked towards the house from the backyard.
"Is it so rich today?"
Seeing the lunch placed on the dining table, Long Ya blinked and said in surprise.
"What an exaggeration."
Even Ryoma was surprised when he saw it.
"Hey, Renzi knows that you plan to leave tomorrow, so I made special arrangements for you."
Nanjiro looked at the newspaper seriously and said in a calm tone.
"Um?"
Tilting his head, Ryoma looked at Long Ya in confusion after hearing the news.
"It's not like I can stay in Qingxue forever."
"Originally, this time I wanted to prove something about the youth selection competition."
"But it looks worse."
Without hiding anything, Long Ya explained.
"So where are you going? America?"
Frowning, Ryoma didn't know what he wanted to do next.
"Well, no, I plan to go to the UK first to meet two tennis players I know well."
"A member of Jabberwock?"
"You guessed it right, and he is a special player who can use "Qi"."
Waiting for Lunzi's arrival, Long Ya was much more open-minded than before and no longer concealed any secrets.
"Why do you want to go back? Didn't the team say it was disbanded?"
Ryoma asked doubtfully, thinking of the news he had seen before.
"It's just that there are no sponsors. As long as the people are still there, there will be no problem."
"Anyway, Jabberwock didn't rely on sponsors to survive before."
"As long as our reputation is strong enough, investors will come back."
After choosing the vegetables and starting to eat, Long Ya replied.
"Has Qingxue already made an agreement with his teammates?"
Nanjiro put away the newspaper, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and asked specifically.
"I told them this morning, but they were so enthusiastic and said they wanted to have a farewell party together tonight."
I have to say that Qingxue’s team atmosphere made Long Ya very comfortable.
There are no excessive burdens or worries. Just follow the training every day, play intra-team games, and exercise.
For him, these training sessions were actually quite easy.
"Then let's have some fun, Ryoma, you can go with us."
"Why should I go?"
"Then if everyone wants to play ball then, just say whether you will come or not."
"I go!"
The conversation between the father and son caused laughter from Renzi and Nanako next to them.
……at dusk……
"Long Ya! Here! Here!!"
Kikumaru shouted, standing with Oishi in casual clothes, waving his arms.
"The little one is here too?!"
"welcome!"
Seeing Ryoma arriving, Kikumaru immediately laughed and said enthusiastically.
"Okay, Tezuka and the others are already inside, let's go in."
Oishi naturally hopes to be more lively, and doesn't mind having an extra dragon and horse.
The four of them immediately walked towards a barbecue restaurant.
Pushing the door open, I found that Tezuka, Fuji, Takashi Kawamura, Sadaharu Inui and other seniors had gathered together to prepare.
"Who are you?"
Seeing a senior wearing small glasses sitting next to Tezuka, Long Ya was stunned for a moment.
"Hello, my name is Yamato."
"Yamato-senpai was the previous head of Seigaku."
"Because he was injured, he went for treatment right after the Kanto Tournament. He just came back today, so we invited him to come with us."
When Yamato introduced himself, Inui Sadaharu also added some explanations.
"The position of minister can be handed over to first-year Minister Tezuka."
"You really have a lot of courage and determination."
Sitting down cross-legged with Ryoma, Long Ya admired this.
This is not a compliment, but a conclusion he came to after understanding the situation of various schools in the country.
Kanto's Teikou, Tatekai Dai, and Hyotei were first-year ministers.
Tezuka was promoted at the end.
This group of schools stands out as a benchmark that breaks tradition and aspires to be a new era.
They also proved successful.
Teikou is the national champion.
Qingxue is the national runner-up.
Lihai University is among the top four in the country
Ice Emperor is among the top eight in the country
There is no doubt that he has achieved excellent results under the leadership of his ministers.
For a first-year team to be able to lead the team to this level, no one can deny their contribution.
This also completely breaks the old rules and perceptions. Newcomers are not necessarily weaker than their predecessors.
Relinquishing one's position to make way for a more talented person might even make the team better.
"It's nothing, I just think Tezuka can do it better than me."
To be honest, getting the ticket for the national competition already makes Yamato very satisfied.
At least at the last moment of three years, he saw hope.
Even though he can't compete in the national competition, he has no regrets.
Qingxue already has a successor, so there is no need to worry about the future.
“Looks like it’s cooked”
"Then let's eat first!"
Before they could continue to sigh, everyone started to devour the food after Ryoma reminded them.
"Thank you so much for coming this year."
"Even if your intentions were bad in the first place."
"But in the end everyone is happy."
During the process, Tezuka was the first to speak.
The words in it also attracted everyone's attention.
"It's nothing, you are already very strong."
"Even without me, I believe we can advance to the finals."
After waving his hand, Long Ya told the truth that his appearance was just a convenient singles victory for Qingxue.
With Qingxue's strength, as long as he is willing to put in the effort, he will definitely be able to win through a reasonable formation.
"Then I wish you a smooth trip."
Fuji squinted his eyes, quietly poured a glass of dry juice for him, and then said.
"Thanks."
"Little one, go get some meat."
"Why should I go?!"
"You've obviously eaten so much, so it's not too much to go run some errands, right?"
"hateful!"
After responding to Fuji first, Long Ya turned to Ryoma and said, after the other party left obediently, he switched the cups containing the dry juice with Ryoma.
He didn't worry about what his brother would go through later.
"Fu Er, you are really a devil."
Looking at Fuji in front of her, Long Ya said angrily.
He could see through Fuji's actions at a glance. Do you want him to drink up the juice?
impossible!
Since the first drink that day made him lie down for a long time, he swore that he would never drink this kind of thing again.
"Hey, Long Ya, will you come back next year?"
"This is it"
………………
"Bon Voyage!"
“Come back and play again if you have a chance!”
"goodbye!"
The next day, a group of people saw Long Ya off outside the airport.
"."
With a wave of his hand, Long Ya said goodbye to his family and teammates, and then walked to the boarding gate.
"Are you done with the friendly farewells?"
But a joking voice sounded from the side, causing him to stop.
"Pretty much, it's really interesting here."
Long Ya tilted her head slightly, looked at the owner of the voice, and then chuckled.
"Of course, it's my hometown after all."
He clicked his ears and said with some pride.
"But why do you want to join today's Jabberwock?"
"Don't pretend I didn't ask."
Looking at the man in front of her, Long Ya shook her head and did not ask further.
This person's goal is obvious, and he doesn't have to guess.
As the man who led the Neon team to the semi-finals in the last term.
Byodoin Phoenix!
"If I can get a ride, of course I will take it."
“Isn’t today’s Jabberwock more likely to compete with players from all over the world?”
"After all, you're all going to start over from scratch."
Byodoin did not hide its thoughts at all.
"You are really well informed."
"But it's quite true."
"Now the Jabberwock will go to gyms all over the world!"
"Come if you have the ability!"
Smiling slightly, Long Ya didn't say much. He met this man after the national competition.
Considering that the purpose of Jabberwock itself is to welcome capable players to join, he did not refuse immediately.
"world."
"What a wish!"
In order to realize their own ambitions and complete their transformation in the next World Championship, Byodoin Phoenix would not mind using this team that is already being reborn to accomplish their goals.
Maybe this is the changing of fortunes?
It was Byodo-in that brought Long Ya back, this time it was Long Ya's turn to take Byodo-in out.
………………
"I asked, did we fail so much homework?"
Aomine's head was getting bigger and he looked at Kise next to him and asked.
"how could I know!"
"Obviously it went so smoothly before!"
Kise looked at the book in front of him, scratched his head and felt uncomfortable.
"Do not complain!"
"Who told you that you failed the exam?"
Momoi and Midorima supervised these two people, their voices full of helplessness.
"I really didn't expect that Kise's grades are on the same level as Aomine."
"Are you going to imitate Aomine and write answers during the exam?"
"After all, they are both in the same examination room."
Bai Jin leaned on the window sill and couldn't help but smile as he watched the two people writing furiously.
"Is imitation still possible?"
"possible"
Kagami shouted in surprise, but Kuroko thought about it seriously and nodded.
For their daily training, they often have to borrow time outside of club activities.
Therefore, with Akaashi's intervention, he gained certain rights from the school. This national championship has deepened his own voice.
But there is still a condition, that is, all members of the club must pass the subjects.
So Kise and Aomine had to make up for their failing grades.
"Well, Akashi, why are you planning to expand the tennis court again?"
Turning his head to look at Akashi who was planning something, Bai Jin was surprised.
"There will be a large number of new students coming to Diguang next year, right?"
"The existing stadium is definitely not enough."
"So I specially discussed it with the school."
Akashi picked up the blueprint-like drawing and explained.
Only he can do these things so easily. It can only be said that with a strong background and abundant financial resources, he can really do whatever he wants.
"Oh, it's so luxurious."
Thinking about the value of the current Teiko National Championship, it is quite famous.
Just as a first-year member of the entire team, he won consecutive games all the way to the national championship.
What a legendary story this is?
It is conceivable that countless new tennis players who are eager to come here will come here.
And when they are in their second year, they will inevitably recruit new students.
After all, this is a rigid rule of the school.
Naturally, Akashi will not turn people away like he did this year, but will choose suitable players to stay here.
It would be too strange to start the competition in the second year and end up with no new students in the tennis club.
(But thinking about it this way, there will be some changes in the freshmen of other schools, right?)
Taking into account various factors, Bai Jin vaguely remembered a few famous players.
Players such as Kirihara Akaya, Momoshiro Takeshi, Kaitang Kaoru, Fuji Yuta, Itake Fukaji, Kamio Akira and others will also appear one by one.
I have the impression that Chitose and Tachibana Kippei from Kansai will also transfer schools.
Let’s not talk about Kansai for the moment, but the Kanto side will be more lively.
(but.)
If Tachibana Juping goes to Fudo Peak again, he may not have anything to do with him in the future.
The current matchup in Kanto is too magical.
It can be said that it has been a death zone since the beginning of the Kanto Tournament.
Teikou, Seigaku, Tatekai Dai, Hyotei, Yamabuki.
Want to grab a spot from them to go to the national competition?
Ju Juping could not do it alone.
"By the way, have you heard about it? I heard that there was a violent incident in the school recently and the tennis club was abolished."
Momoi seemed to have thought of something, and then said seriously.
"Ah, I know that."
"Is it called Fudomine Middle School?"
"It seems that most of the players inside got into a fight with the bad guys outside, which then led to a large-scale brawl."
"It even made the news!"
Hearing this, Kise suddenly became interested, and then talked about it.
"When did this happen?"
There seemed to be no such situation in his mind, so Bai Jin asked strangely.
"About half a month ago."
After hearing Kise's answer, Bai Jin fell into deep thought.
In my memory, there was such a violent incident in the main drama Fudomine, but it shouldn't have happened so early.
Moreover, in that violent incident, Jujuping led a group of freshmen to fight with their seniors and coaches.
The current Fudomine should have been abolished even before they were there, which is a bit incredible.
"Forget it, it won't have any impact anyway."
He no longer paid attention to such trivial matters, and Bai Jin didn't worry about the movements of those people. It didn't matter even if Ju Juping went to Fudo Peak to rebuild his glory.
………………
"Has that matter been arranged?"
Atobe was sitting in his home, enjoying the sunbathing, and asked the housekeeper next to him.
"Yes, according to your instructions, young master, I specially moved his position in Tokyo, and it is very close to Hyotei Academy."
"That's no problem."
Taking off his sunglasses, Atobe had already begun to make arrangements.
At this time of shortage of people, I still don’t know what the level of the new students is?
That's okay, just find a place to poach people.
Anyway, there are ready-made players to choose from.
"Well, that's good. Now, including Hua Di, at least it's decent."
After snapping his fingers, Atobe felt at ease as the basic team members and lineup appeared in his mind.
PS:
Suddenly I found that there were quite a lot of things to explain.
