Seeing that Sawakita Eiji and Sendoh Akira from Sannoh Industries were so familiar with each other, and hearing Sendoh Akira say the name "Kitazawa" again.
Rukawa Kaede's expression was a bit strange. He's clearly Sawakita, but Sendoh calls him Kitazawa. What a troublesome guy!
At the same time, a strong fighting spirit surged in Rukawa Kaede's heart, and he looked at Sawakita Eiji with a solemn expression.
Eiji Sawakita defeated Akira Sendoh during his junior high school years, and now he is the super ace of Sannoh Industrial High School, a three-time national champion, and is known as the strongest high school student in the country.
Rukawa Kaede's goal in participating in the national tournament is to become the strongest high school student in the country.
So, it's like this: as long as Rukawa Kaede defeats Sawakita Eiji, Rukawa Kaede will be able to achieve his goal and become the strongest high school student in the country.
Sawakita Eiji also noticed the fighting spirit brewing within Rukawa Kaede, but he simply smiled and ignored it, because he had encountered far too many people like Rukawa Kaede who wanted to defeat him.
Without exception, he defeated all of them.
However, at this moment, Sawakita Eiji still glanced at Rukawa Kaede.
Sawakita Eiji frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "There's someone as handsome as me? Hmm... I think I'm a little more handsome than him. That's it!"
Then, Eiji Sawakita glanced at the Ryonan team members and said to Akira Sendoh, "Sendoh, your teammates look pretty good too! No wonder they were able to defeat the Kanagawa champions."
Sendoh Akira was taken aback for a moment, then smiled faintly, glanced at the Shohoku team members, and said nonchalantly, "You've got it wrong! We're not the champions of Kanagawa."
As he spoke, Sendoh Akira pointed to the Shohoku team next to him and continued, "Then, their Shohoku team is the champion of Kanagawa."
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Shohoku team subconsciously straightened their heads and stood even more upright and imposing than before!
"Oh?" Sawakita Eiji looked at the Shohoku team with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected that this little-known team would have the strength to break through the encirclement of strong teams like the kings Hainan and Ryonan in Kanagawa and even win the Kanagawa championship.
This Shohoku team is really something to look forward to!
...
Since Shohoku had a bye in the first round, Coach Anzai didn't make any tactical arrangements or give any team pep talks that night. He simply said, "Everyone, get some rest," and that was it.
That evening, everyone ate dinner early and then returned to their respective rooms.
The participating players were accommodated by the organizing committee. Due to the large number of participants, standard rooms were arranged, which are rooms with two beds.
Takenori Akagi and Kiminobu Kogure were in the same room.
This arrangement is quite reasonable, after all, they are the captain and vice-captain.
"Akagi!" Kogure Kiminobu pushed up his glasses, his expression a little excited. "Even now, I still can't believe it's real! We actually made it to the national tournament!"
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Kogure Kiminobu looked out at the bustling traffic and the lights of countless homes, and let out a heavy sigh of relief, feeling as if he were in a dream!
Akagi Takenori had just finished showering and changing his clothes when he came out of the bathroom. He was in a good mood, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes! We've finally made it to the national tournament!"
Akagi Takenori and Kogure Kiminobu are both third-year students. If they fail to make it to the national tournament this time, it will be the biggest regret of their lives!
I've finally made it into the national tournament, and I even get a bye in the first round! This feeling is absolutely amazing!
Surprisingly, Ryota Miyagi was assigned to the same room as Hisashi Mitsui.
The two, who had already put aside their past grievances and become brothers, didn't feel awkward at all.
However, Mitsui suddenly asked, "Miyagi, isn't Ayako staying in a single room?"
"Yes, that's right."
When answering this question, Miyagi Ryota was noticeably more wary, because no matter who it was, if they dared to have any improper thoughts about Ayako, he would make them regret ever being born.
Mitsui Hisashi pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Don't worry, if you go to her room to sleep tonight, I won't tell anyone else."
Ryota Miyagi was completely dumbfounded!
Miyagi Ryota quickly looked embarrassed and explained, "Hey, Mitsui-senpai, you've misunderstood! We're not like that. I, I wouldn't do such a thing, and Ayako would absolutely never agree to it..."
Mitsui Hisashi laughed and scolded, "What are you being shy about? You did it, so what! Really!"
Miyagi Ryota waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no! Really, no!"
Mitsui Hisashi ignored Miyagi Ryota's explanation and simply said, "Fine, it's up to you. Go if you want."
Then, Mitsui Hisashi took his change of clothes and headed to the bathroom. But just before going in, he suddenly turned back and suggested with a smile, "Use the same spirit you had when you fought us, and go have a fight with Ayako!"
After saying that, Mitsui Hisashi immediately went into the bathroom and slammed the door shut, giving Miyagi Ryota no chance to react.
Ryota Miyagi stood there, looking completely embarrassed and unsure of what to do.
However, Ryota Miyagi's mind was filled with images of Ayako Inoue's room number and how he secretly knocked on her door and went inside with her without anyone noticing.
As he pondered this, Ryota Miyagi glanced towards the bathroom, wondering, "Can Mitsui be trusted?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede were assigned to the same room.
"Rukawa, look how inconvenient it is for you to have long hair. You have to blow-dry it after showering. Unlike me, I can just dry my hair with a towel after showering and I'm done."
As he spoke, Sakuragi Hanamichi touched his head with his hand.
Rukawa ignored Sakuragi and continued drying his hair with the hairdryer.
Sakuragi Hanamichi walked up to Rukawa Kaede with a mischievous grin, raised his eyebrows at Rukawa, and suggested, "How about you get a haircut like mine?"
Rukawa Kaede froze, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi in disbelief.
Sakuragi Hanamichi continued his charade, "Look, Mitsui and I both got this hairstyle. Gorilla's hairstyle is actually similar to ours. Now it's just you and Ryota left. If you two could also cut your hair and shave it like us with buzz cuts, then our hairstyles would be unified. How awesome would it be when we go on the court together? Right?"
Rukawa Kaede snorted coldly, glancing at Sakuragi Hanamichi as if he were an idiot.
Everything is understood without words.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
What should you do if you encounter an embarrassing situation?
Of course, the best way is to change the subject!
"Rukawa Kaede, um, I'm going out for a bit! You don't need to leave the door open for me, you can go to sleep."
As he spoke, Sakuragi Hanamichi had already changed his clothes.
She washed herself thoroughly, brushed her teeth, sprayed cotton-scented antiperspirant under her arms, and even had a piece of peach-flavored gum in her mouth.
Sakuragi Hanamichi, his face beaming with excitement, was about to head out.
Rukawa Kaede narrowed his eyes immediately, because he had completely seen through Sakuragi Hanamichi's wicked thoughts. Needless to say, he was definitely going to go and fool around with Akagi Haruko!
At such a crucial time as the national competition, instead of resting properly, he went out late at night to fool around with women!
hateful!
Just as Sakuragi Hanamichi's hand was on the doorknob, ready to open the door and leave, Rukawa Kaede's icy voice came through: "A great battle is imminent, what are you planning to do?"
Sakuragi Hanamichi chuckled, scratched the back of his head, and explained, "Oh dear! I suddenly got hungry and wanted to go out to buy some late-night snacks. It's okay, don't worry about me, I'll be right back."
Will be back soon?
You just said you didn't need to leave the door open for me!
What does "don't leave the door open" mean? It clearly means you don't plan to come back to sleep tonight!
Who are you trying to fool?
Rukawa Kaede stood up, put on his clothes, and walked towards Sakuragi Hanamichi. "Let's go! Let's go together! I'm hungry too."
Sakuragi Hanamichi: "..."
