Atobe Keigo proudly touched the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, and held the hand that was extended to him, with unyielding dominance and pride: "Hello, Hyotei first-year, Atobe Keigo."
Atobe Keigo knew that the person in front of him was probably looking for Keimitsu.
Because the first person that person looked at was Jingguang.
He followed Yukimura's gaze and signaled with his eyes: Jingguang, do you know this guy?
Jingguang was stunned for a moment, searching in the memory gallery for a while, although it was only a few seconds, before he responded: "Yukimura-kun, Sanada-kun, long time no see."
The taciturn Sanada Genichirō pulled the brim of his black cap and nodded to the two of them, "Sanada Genichirō, a freshman at Rikkai University."
"Sanada? Sanada Seiichiro is your..."
Atobe Keigo seemed to have thought of something and shifted his attention to the young man wearing a black hat.
"That's my brother. Sanada Sozo is my grandfather."
"Ah, yes, I understand."
Atobe Keigo nodded and took note of this guy.
I just heard Mr. Seiichiro Sanada say at the banquet that his younger brother also played tennis, and it turned out to be this guy.
Seeing this, Yukimura Seiichi introduced the calm and composed boy with narrowed eyes beside him.
"By the way, this is Yanagi Renji, also a freshman at Rikkai University and a regular on the tennis team."
"Hello."
The calm and composed young man with half-closed eyes nodded politely to everyone.
"Ah, Yuushi Oshitari, a regular member of the Hyotei tennis club."
Atobe Keigo spoke proudly, motioning to Oshitari beside him.
They're not the only ones who have first-year regulars, huh?
"Hi hi~ Atobe-sama."
Yuushi Oshima reluctantly stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Yuushi Oshima, a first-year student at Hyotei, please advise me."
"Since Hyotei has a bye in the first round, you can come and watch our Rikkai University match~"
Yukimura Seiichi said with a smile, the aura behind him was no less powerful and arrogant than Atobe's.
Although it is slightly different from the flamboyant style of Keigo Atobe,
However, the momentum of both of them is equally strong.
"Okay, I look forward to you giving me a magnificent performance."
"Too lax! The game is a game, not a performance!!"
The young Sanada couldn't help but interrupt.
“?!”
Atobe Kagemitsu immediately stepped forward and stood beside his brother to support him.
"Genichirō."
Yukimura Seiichi gently reminded,
"ah."
Sanada took a step back, but there was no apology on his face.
Obviously, he still couldn't accept what Atobe said.
"I won't let you down. Sorry, we'll be leaving now."
"Ah well, back off."
Young Master Atobe's condescending tone made Sanada clench his fists.
It's really too lax!!!
Yukimura Seiichi remained calm and looked at the three people from Hyotei one by one. He smiled and nodded before leaving.
However, since he has been provoked (invited) in person, Atobe will naturally not go back on his word.
therefore,
On the first day of the Kanto tournament, Keigo Atobe took the Hyotei regulars and Keimitsu Atobe to watch the preliminary round of Rikkai University.
It is also to get to know your opponent better!
Yes,
The moment Keigo Atobe saw the three of them, he knew that Rikkai University would become Hyotei's strong rival for the championship! !
As expected.
Looking at the one-sided result of the game, everyone fell silent.
The strength of Yamabuki Junior High School was not able to last 20 minutes against Rikkai University...
Especially the doubles team of Rikkai University is also very strong.
However, among Hyotei's doubles teams, only Oshitari and Musashi are considered capable.
Mukai Gakuto took a deep breath and said, "They are great in doubles and singles. Hiss - Rikkai University is too scary, right?"
However, there was more eagerness in his words than fear.
Cangshan Yinjie said: "You don't know that Rikkai National Middle School has won 13 consecutive Kanto tournaments. Its strength should not be underestimated."
Watching the singles number three Renji Yanagi win 6-0, doubles number two win 6-2, and singles number two Genichirō Sanada win 6-0, they advanced directly to the quarterfinals.
Atobe Keigo raised an aggressive and challenging smile and said proudly:
"It's more interesting, isn't it?"
"Um."
Atobe Kagemitsu felt his brother's burning fighting spirit and desire to challenge, and nodded in agreement.
Indeed, only by playing more against strong players can you find your own shortcomings and make further progress.
