"Tomorrow, the national competition will begin."
In the hospital, Yukimura sat on the bed and looked at Sanada and Yanagi Renji next to him.
"Then you don't have to worry."
"We will go all out to achieve the same glory as last year!"
Before Sanada could say anything, Yanagi Renji was the first to speak out.
He knew that Sanada couldn't say these words. He and Yukimura only had better things in their eyes.
Although the results of the national top four are already very good, they are not satisfied.
It is a pity that if Yukimura cannot participate this year, they are destined to face a severe confrontation.
Whether it is Teikou's Akashi and Shirazu, Seigaku's Tezuka and Fuji, Hyotei's Atobe, Himuro, or Yamabuki's Akutsu, they are not easy players to deal with.
In the absence of Yukimura, Rikkai University can be said to be the most difficult national competition so far.
In today's middle school world, once there is no "king" to guard it, it will highlight the lack of top combat power and fall into congenital headwinds in formation.
After all, monsters at the level of Akashi, Tezuka, Atobe, and Akutsu are not something ordinary players can deal with.
Even Sanada and Niou dare not say that they can win for sure.
There is no way, the current junior high school competition is no longer as "calm" as it was a few years ago.
The dynamic is the upper limit of world-class competition, and at worst there are national-level players who finish at the bottom.
How could a "bastard" fish in such an environment?
If you don’t have the ability and don’t work hard, you will be eliminated.
"Don't be so tight."
"If you put too much pressure on yourself, you might lose the game you could have won."
Looking at the silent Sanada and the abnormal Yanagi Renji, Yukimura showed a smile and consoled him.
Although he was relieved in the battle with Akashi in the Kanto Tournament, it was obvious that Sanada and others shouldered the honor of Tatekai Dai and would not allow it to be tarnished.
Just as they thought, even if they couldn't go further this year, they would at least maintain their original results so that they would be worthy of meeting Yukimura.
Otherwise, once Yukimura is gone, they will lose their position as one of the top four in the country, and it will be too easy to cause "criticism".
Because he understands their thoughts, Yukimura will not dissuade them. He just hopes that they can perform normally and play a good game without having too many lingering thoughts that affect their own state.
"Renji, you should know what I mean."
Looking at Yanagi Renji, Yukimura emphasized again.
Regarding the national competition where there are now strong opponents, Yukimura only hopes that they will not push themselves too hard and cause any accidents.
"clear."
Nodding, Yanagi Renji also understood Yukimura's worries.
He was afraid that his members would have "excessive" ideas and cause injuries during the game, which would be more than worth the loss.
"I'll keep it."
Beside, Sanada, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Those few words demonstrated his firm determination.
"I trust you."
Without making any unnecessary questions or actions, Yukimura showed a pleased expression and said in a deep voice.
"This year's stage will be given to them for the time being."
"Next year, I will personally lead the Likai University."
"Create unprecedented history!"
Under the sunlight, Yukimura's figure is so tall and straight. After the disease is completely cured, he will not have any constraints or burdens.
…………
"It seems that this year's national competition will not be held at the usual location."
"It was moved to the suburbs outside the city, where there are newly built large venues."
"I heard it was only built this year. Although there are some shops, there don't seem to be any residents around it."
"The organizers don't seem to allow anyone to live here."
When the day of the national competition began, personnel from each school headed to the designated location in vehicles.
As a player, most people can understand that the arena has been changed.
After all, there is a group of monsters playing ball, which can cause large-scale abnormal phenomena at every turn, which is really scary.
If you put it in an urban area, something will happen one day.
With this in mind, the new competition venue was built.
It was originally expected to be completed by the end of the year, but after the previous "earthquake", many people were frightened and increased supervision and investment, resulting in the completion ahead of schedule.
"Wow, what a big venue!"
"That's the venue for the finals, right?!"
Kikumaru lay on the car window, looking at the huge building not far away and said.
"Yes, the semi-finals and finals will be held there."
"Other preliminaries, including the quarter-finals, will only be held on the outside court."
"But even the outer stadium has a considerable area and a considerable location. There is no problem in accommodating at least tens of thousands of people."
"This time the organizers invested a lot of money."
Inui Sadaharu flipped through the records in his notebook and introduced them confidently.
"If it weren't for the funding, it wouldn't be possible to build this place so big, and even the original national competition wouldn't attract so much attention, right?"
Fuji held his chin with one hand and sat next to Tezuka, also very interested in the huge building outside.
But once you think about it being "forced" by tennis players like them, it makes you want to laugh for no reason.
Since when do they have to consider surrounding environmental factors when playing ball?
Obviously it didn't reach this scale last year.
This year, people have begun to worry about not damaging the "court" or hurting the audience.
All I can say is that things are unpredictable.
"It is said that many magazines reporting on this national competition came."
"Even the broadcast has been arranged."
"Isn't that great? Everyone can play in such a great place."
After hearing Inui Sadaharu's explanation, Kawamura Takashi was very happy that such a thing happened.
"Oh, I hope nothing troublesome happens."
Compared to the optimism of a few others, Dashi was a little worried about the next game.
As we all know, the competition among junior high school students is extremely noisy.
The organizers of this competition also specifically told each school not to damage the stadium as much as possible.
You can imagine how "popular" these junior high school students are.
"Don't worry so much for now."
"When it's your turn to play, just play well."
"Don't let other factors affect your performance."
Tezuka crossed his arms. He had grown up and was no longer as young and short as he was last year.
Now it looks more and more like a big boss senior.
"You're right."
"The opponents in the front are okay, but once we encounter the strong schools from last year, we won't have so much time to think about it."
Closing the notebook and holding it at his waist, Gan Sadaharu waited for the car to stop.
"Zizzi!"
The bus was parked in a dedicated parking area, and Tezuka and the others who had just got off the bus saw junior high school students getting off the bus one after another like them.
"National Competition!!"
"we are coming!!"
