After the second army trials, the tennis club trained according to the list given by Ye Wu.
Ye Wu showed up for some basic physical training in the morning as usual, and soon after signing in in the afternoon, he went to club training.
The time soon came to the height of summer in July.
The sun is like fire. The azure sky is as clear as glass.
Pingyang Forest Park, during the opening ceremony of the Kanto Competition, Yukimura returned the winning banner on behalf of Rikkai University High School.
The championship trophy of the Kanto competition belongs to the winning school, but the banner needs to be returned at the annual Kanto competition.
In the organizer's speech, the Kanto Competition officially opened.
On the first day of the Kanto Competition, three rounds will be played, and the top four will be determined.
As a seed team, Rikkai University had a bye in the first round and only had to play two rounds in the afternoon.
The second round starts at one o'clock at noon.
In order to recuperate, Li Hai went directly to an air-conditioned Japanese sushi restaurant and booked a private room.
A group of people had lunch two hours early to get in top shape.
Mizuo received a text message from a member of the club who was watching the game in the park. The school that was competing at noon was Jinbo High School.
"Oh, the schools I haven't heard of are all weaklings. When will we be able to compete with strong schools?"
After finishing his meal, Maori lay on the tatami with his hands on his hands and asked a little boredly.
Liu Lian'er cryptically reminded his seniors to keep a low profile, "There is an old saying in China, a lion and an elephant fight a rabbit with all their strength."
"Indeed, don't relax!"
"Then let the second army go forward. Senior Mizuo will take charge of the third one alone."
Yukimura sat cross-legged on the tatami and tore out a page from his notebook.
"Except for the three singles, the other two armies will draw lots."
"Eh-" everyone exclaimed.
So careless?
Compared with the careful formation of troops in the last county competition, Yukimura is obviously starting to be more comfortable with the arrangement of the competition this time.
They all started thinking about drawing lots directly.
As he picked the side dishes on the low table, Ye Wu looked indifferent.
"Okay, just listen to the minister."
Don't just agree with what Yukimura says. Think about it with the mind of someone who wants to work online in the future. How nonsense is this!
Liu Lian'er looked at Ye Wu with very disapproving eyes.
"If you play doubles without training, the game will be a little more difficult."
Maybe everyone's eyes were too eager. Ye Wu paused and explained again,
"These games are probably easier than the on-campus training games."
The implication is that you can't beat this? !
So arrogant! Are you doing Pride and Prejudice?
"Okay." Yukimura saw that everyone was too opposed and had no choice but to give up the plan.
His face was full of regret, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was as gentle as water.
"But after the Kanto Tournament, everyone should practice doubles.
Our Li Hai Da doubles team also needs to have no blind spots. "
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Secretly sighing that the national competition cannot escape the fate of drawing lots.
Lihai Dalian has dominated Guandong for many years and is strong, but compared to singles, doubles is still weak.
At this moment, Yukimura has already begun to think about his future doubles training plan.
In the game at one o'clock in the afternoon, Shenbo Fuzhong was indeed beaten by a score of 5:0.
This is Li Hai's first game.
According to the rules of the competition, each school must play 5 games in the first game.
During the post-game ceremony, the opposing team was visibly frustrated.
The hot sunlight made his eyes dry, so Yamada, the chief of the Divine Protection Division, looked up at the sky.
The dazzling light made him want to cry.
I thought that this time two newcomers with good qualifications joined, and this time they could hit the top four in Kanto.
This is the most promising time to enter the national competition in three years.
As a result, he met the King's Master Lihai High School, ending this short journey ahead of schedule.
That's right. As a minister, you pin your hopes on your juniors. Such a cowardly self, such a self,
Yamada raised one hand to block the sun, which was so hot.
[Ah, this summer is over. ]
"Don't worry, Minister, we will fight again next year!"
The first-year junior patted the other person's shoulder and comforted the sensitive and slender senior minister.
"Find a shady place to get some rest."
While other schools had not yet finished competing, Yukimura ordered his members to seize the territory.
A group of people moved the supplies to the shade of a tree.
It was two-thirty in the afternoon, and even the good-tempered Yukimura felt a little anxious under the scorching sun.
He used a clipboard as a fan to fan the flames.
[It’s so hot. I’ll buy a small fan next time and bring it to the game. ] Ye Wu thought to himself.
{The winner is the Ice King!...}
{The winner is Atobe!...}
"Whose cheerleading team has such a loud voice?" Marui, who was so excited, said a little irritably after hearing the loud cheers.
"Tokyo Hyotei Academy, our old rival in the Kanto finals."
Mizuo carefully identified the name of the school and explained to everyone,
"I heard that a first-year minister was elected just like us."
The seed team for the Kanto Tournament is Tatekai Yamato Hyotei.
Therefore, the two teams are divided into two zones AB all year round. Not surprisingly, this year's opponent in the Kanto finals will be Ice Emperor.
"That first-year Atobe forcefully overthrew the former head of the tennis club," Yanagi Renji corrected the data,
"As a result, most of the second and third grade seniors in the school have resigned."
Everyone did not expect to hear an unexpected piece of gossip. At this moment, they were not afraid of the sweltering heat at all. They gathered around Liu Rener and asked about the details.
Several people heard that it was the seniors of the third year who were so angry at being defeated that they quit the department and threatened the new first-year minister.
I can’t help but feel a lot.
"Well, there's no other way. We in Japan have a strong sense of seniority. The Seigakus in Tokyo also pay special attention to seniority. Only we, Li Hai Da, respect our strength."
"It seems like we are really good and reasonable seniors."
The third-year seniors began to feel complacent.
"Haha, senior is saying that I am strong." Yukimura looked at the other person, as if he was joking.
"No, our Lord Yukimura ascended the throne legitimately, unlike the one who rebelled."
Ye Wu, who wanted to take leave tomorrow morning, was trying to flatter him like crazy.
He smiled innocently at Yukimura, his innocent blue eyes as clear as water.
Yukimura smiled knowingly.
Knowing that this deskmate was probably asking for something from me, I gladly accepted the other person's compliments.
"This is a brand new team, everything is unknown, so we can't relax!" Sanada emphasized, lowering his hat and speaking vigorously.
"You are still too young, Sanada!" Ito covered his face with his hands and smiled sternly.
"There are only first-year members, so it's really easy to figure out the lineup."
The seniors had so much fun, it was so relaxing. Please train more after the game.
Yukimura looked at the group of people having fun with a deep smile.
Several first-year members went to the nearest bulletin board and came back to inform the group.
The eight-to-four matchup in the afternoon is,
Hexagon Middle School vs Qingxue,
Hyotei vs Kabuto,
Lihai Da vs. Mingshi Qian,
Yamabuki vs Midoriya.
"The Mingshi Kaoru School is not very strong. Let's take action with the second army, while Ito-senpai will be in charge of the singles."
Yukimura gave the order directly.
"Since the second army is allowed to appear, can we who are not on the field withdraw first?" Ye Wu wanted to leave.
"piyo"
After half a month, I got to know the principals fairly well, and Nioh’s nature of being afraid of the sun was also exposed.
"Boss Yukimura~, forget it today, you can arrange for me to appear tomorrow morning."
Yukimura is usually tolerant and agrees to the main candidates' bargaining.
He smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, Niou-kun is indeed uncomfortable."
As for what Ye Wu just said, Yukimura filtered it out directly.
Yukimura and Yanagi submitted their names to the organizing committee for the competition.
Nishiki Sagi, the main candidate for the third grade, was thoughtfully handing everyone a bottle of mineral water.
"Ugh, I want to drink ice water." Maoli collapsed into a ball.
"Onozaki, there is a vending machine just two hundred meters ahead. Please help senior run an errand."
Why don't you drink hand-ground coffee? Ye Wu was so hot that he didn't even raise his eyelids.
He didn't want to pay attention to this senior at all.
These first-year juniors are really difficult to handle!
Senior Li Hai is so humble!
It was almost three o'clock when the game against Mingshi Kao started.
Because the sun was too hot, everyone in Li Hai tried their best to race against time.
Each game is resolved quickly within 20 minutes.
3:0, the first three games ended directly.
"It would be great if everyone could keep playing so cleanly."
Yukimura smiled calmly,
[Setting a time for the competition next time may better stimulate everyone’s potential. ]
After the game, it was already four o'clock,
The asphalt road was sweltering due to the sun.
The clouds are floating, the wind is flying, and the cicadas are chirping.
The group of people quickly packed their things and went back to school. When they arrived at the bus chartered by the school, as soon as they got into the air-conditioned car, everyone let out a sigh unconsciously.
Ye Wu went to the nearest convenience store, bought a box of popsicles, and brought them back.
A group of people happily looting like children.
Ye Wu took out a bag of double popsicles in advance. He lowered his head and sat back next to Yukimura.
"Don't eat too much ice after you've just suffered from the heat. Your stomach and intestines will be uncomfortable."
As he spoke, he took apart the two popsicles.
"Let's share the food. Jingshi, do you want orange or lychee flavor?"
Feeling a little reluctant to be restrained, Yukimura's shoulders were slightly deflated.
[I want to eat ice cream more! ]
Yukimura knew that the other party was thinking about his own health, so he touched his nose and said helplessly, "Orange."
Ye Wu didn't feel the change in the other person's mood and handed the orange popsicle in his hand to Yukimura.
The slender fingers took the wooden stick, their fingertips touched slightly, and the hot body temperature stirred their hearts.
Ye Wu calmly took his hand back, his thumb unconsciously rubbing his index finger.
When the bus drove back to Kanagawa, Yanagi had already learned about the freshly released list of the top four.
Standing in the sea, the Ice Emperor, the mountain blowing, in the six corners.
Only the top three in the Kanto Competition can advance to the National Competition.
A group of people got out of the car and went directly to the tennis club office for a meeting.
Tomorrow morning in the semi-finals Tatekai will face Yamabuki, Hyotei will face Rokkachu.
If you beat Yamabuki, you will have a decisive battle with Hyokuei or Rokkaku for the championship in the afternoon.
"Let's discuss the lineup for tomorrow's two games in detail."
There was chatter one after another in the small room, accompanied by laughter from time to time.
On the Ice Emperor's side, they were also discussing the list in the huge tennis conference room.
"Is Li Hai big? He has conquered Kanto for the thirteenth consecutive time."
Taki Oginosuke looked at the information about his future opponents in the finals and sighed.
Sitting on [Atobe Keigo's exclusive sofa], Atobe tapped his tear mole with his fingers.
Her purple-grey hair had been cared for and was shiny, shining with nobility.
He raised his lips and smiled confidently, "The winner this year will be the Ice Emperor!"
"I heard that Rikkai University quietly initiated changes this year. The third-year minister Mizuo took the initiative to abdicate in favor of a first-year student."
Renzu pushed up his glasses, and the final sound of the word "actively abdicated and made way for the next person" was cadenced. His childish voice was still in the initial stage of voice change, and it had a somewhat sexy charm.
"Huh?" The protracted ending sounded like dissatisfaction, and Atobe Keigo emphasized again,
"I will be the winner!"
