March is just before the new students enter school.
The coaching staff of the U17 training camp got a surprising news
"Do you think this is possible?"
The corners of Saito's mouth twitched slightly, as if he couldn't contain his expression.
He looked at this international document in his hand, and his hands were shaking involuntarily.
Even though he has been coaching here for so many years, he still can't keep calm in front of this piece of paper.
"Fate has really played a big joke on us."
Kurobe was silent for a while, knowing that the news was too shocking.
"In order to restrict Germany, new rules are deliberately introduced"
"hiss"
"It's not bad for other countries, but..."
Takuchi Ryuuji crossed his arms, not knowing how to describe his current mood.
ecstasy?
Pleasurable?
incredible?
In addition to "sadness", all kinds of irrepressible emotions are filling my heart.
Not only him, but also Saito and Kurobe. One can imagine how much impact the news received today had.
because
In this year’s World Championships
Officials specifically set the rule that junior high school students must participate.
Different from previous years where the environment was all high school students, this time we have to bring junior high school students, and they must be included in the competition team.
That is, there are three players in singles and four players in doubles, including three junior high school students.
"Da da."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, trying to make himself accept the information.
It was actually quite difficult for the three of them to calm down.
after all
High school students don’t dare to say they are the strongest in the world. But junior high school students?
They have a lot of world-class players in Neon territory.
Isn't this the chosen one?
As long as we invite those "dads" from junior high schools to come out, this World Championship will seem to be much less difficult?
"Head coach Mifune should also know the news."
"Let's sort out the list."
Kurobe stopped tapping, covered his forehead, and then spoke.
"Do you want to take statistics on the situation of junior high school students?"
"But they may not necessarily agree to participate."
Long Er frowned, but he was not very optimistic about the character of that group of people.
In the past few years, there have been many invitations to junior high school students, but often the ones who come are not the ones they value.
"what are you talking about."
"The way they behave is to compete with stronger players."
"The World Championship is such a good stage, there is no reason not to participate."
"What's more, some of them come here occasionally, which means they don't have that intention."
Saito Zhi raised his hand and took a sip of coffee, then thought of the current situation and explained.
At the end of last year, the new area built by their U17 training camp was finally completed.
It took a whole year to build a perfect training ground, which contains various courts and training equipment.
To put it bluntly, it was built for junior high school students.
Although the people who came to train in the end were not the group of people they wanted.
That's right, after learning about the invitation, Teikou, Hyotei, Qingxue, Rikkai University and other schools chose to send those with ideas here.
After all, not everyone can do their unique intensive training. Instead of being forced to follow them, it is better to try the so-called training camp.
Of course, that's all after consulting the other party's opinion.
If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go.
After a series of changes in Tokugawa, junior high school students have changed their views on the U17 training camp.
At least it doesn't look so "incompetent".
As a result, more or less junior high school students still come here.
For example, people who want to go further.
Tatekai Dai's Kirihara, Wakato, Yagyu, etc.
From Seigaku's side came Momojo, Kaido, Kamio, Inui Sadaharu and others.
For Hyotei, everyone except Atobe, Tachibana Pei, and Himuro came.
Yamabuki's Tanaka brothers, Higashikata Masami, etc.
Those who came from Teikou were the juniors led by Imayoshi.
On the Kansai side, people from many schools came, but most of them were kicked out because they were unqualified, leaving only those from Shitenhoji Temple and Higa Middle School.
"So, the benefits of working so hard to cultivate Tokugawa last year are obvious."
"Otherwise, how could things get better this year?"
Kurobe looked at the surveillance screen, which showed some junior high school students crossing the mountains. He was glad that he made the right decision last year.
"It's just advertising, it's not shabby."
"The core personnel we want will probably not come until they finish competing in this year's national competition."
Saito Zhi is not in a hurry. After all, when this year's national competition is over, the group of junior high school students will seek a new stage no matter what.
world!
That will be the top competition they will have access to at that time.
"All in all, it's not very clear how they've changed this year."
“Let’s sort out the list based on last year’s performance first.”
Long Er flipped through the box next to him and found a lot of documents inside.
"Some are busy."
"But isn't that a good thing?"
"Yeah, I thought I was still worried about how to face the German team this year, but it seems to be going much smoother than expected."
……………………
"Damn."
"Has it become too strong?"
Although it was not the first time that Atsukyo Tono witnessed the confrontation between the top few, he still had lingering fears every time he watched it.
"boom!!"
In the field of vision, the three-headed and six-armed King Asura is exerting his powerful strength.
"This year's Tokugawa is simply unstoppable."
"Even Zaneshima won't be able to gain much advantage against him."
"It seems that he will challenge you soon."
Irie leaned on the guardrail and spoke while looking at the situation ahead.
"Hmph, then let him come, I will send him back to hell!"
The ghost crossed his arms, a disdainful smile on his mature face.
"You just had to be tough on the sidelines."
"With just the power of ghosts and gods, can you stop his Asura King?"
Byodoin leaned against the guardrail with his hands on top. Even if he didn't deliberately watch the game behind him, he knew the result.
Tokugawa VS Tanejima
The former is a rising high school star, while the latter is the former No. 2 player in the training camp and is currently the No. 3 player.
After more than half a year of training, Tokugawa finally launched a challenge to the top and kicked down the obstacles ahead step by step.
7-5!
5-3!
Even if according to the formal competition, the game is not over yet, the result is already obvious.
"It's really amazing."
Jusaburo Mori sat in the audience, watching this scene with relish.
Although I also saw Tokugawa's Asura King in last year's national competition, it was far less oppressive than this year.
"Taneshima disappeared!"
"That's the move he showed in the battle with the ghost."
"It won't be nothing!"
Seeing Taneshima completely disappearing from the field, some people watching the match shouted.
They had also seen this magical move during the previous confrontation between Oni and Taneshima.
A skill that can turn oneself into nothingness.
I heard that it was a new technique that Tanejima developed on his own after nearly two years of training.
But at that time, he was still defeated by the ghost, which caused Tanejima to lose his NO.2 status.
Now that Tokugawa is facing a challenge, can this move bring him back to life?
