Chapter 268 National Competition Begins, First Battle
Before the national competition, each country is making preparations.
On the Seigaku side, after the return of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke, a fierce school team selection competition was held.
On the Hyotei side, after Atobe Keigo returned, he began to test the strength of other members. Under the training of the former captain Ochi Gekko, the strength of other members of Hyotei also improved greatly.
In Shitenhoji Temple, Kintaro Toyama had just finished his training and returned to school.
Under the recommendation of Kamishiro Ai, Toyama Kintaro also came to U17 in the second half of the year to ask for advice from Onijūjiro.
After the previous match with Kamishiro Ai, Shiraishi Kuranosuke also found his future path. He has been improving himself in the past few months and his strength has greatly increased.
"Everyone, our goal for Shitenhoji this year is to win the national championship."
Watanabe, the coach of Shitenhoji, held a straw in his mouth with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
The transformation of Shitenbo Temple this year is huge.
For Shitenhoji Temple, ranking is no longer important.
The important thing is that everyone can strengthen their own beliefs and go further on the road of tennis in the future.
.......
The scene of the national competition.
After a simple draw, the specific order of the competition has been determined.
Fudomine's first match opponent is Okinawa's Higachu.
In the original work, Okinawa's Higa has the Okinawa steps, which have the effect of teleportation, and his tennis style is also rather despicable and weird, causing a lot of trouble for Seigaku.
The atmosphere was lively and countless audiences were looking forward to it.
Inoue Mamoru and Saori naturally would not miss such a grand event, and had been waiting at a key position early.
"Wow, there are so many people here." Saori exclaimed while holding the camera.
"This is the national competition for junior high school students, one of the most watched events in Japan." Mamoru Inoue nodded with a smile.
In this world, tennis is the most mainstream sport. In addition to world-class competitions, competitions among the younger generation are also very popular.
With the addition of Rikkai University, which has won two consecutive championships, and the rising star Fudomine, this year's national competition has attracted a lot of attention.
According to online research, Bleach God Kamishiro Lan currently has the highest support, followed by Child of God Yukimura Seiichi.
The most hotly debated topic on the Internet is: Who is stronger, the God of Death or the Son of God?
Who will win the championship between Rikkai University and Fudomine?
"The first match is between Fudomine and Higa Middle School." Saori looked at the match schedule and asked curiously, "Hey, senior, what kind of school is Higa Middle School? I don't think I've heard of it before."
"Higazhong, they defeated last year's national semi-finalist and Kyushu's King Shishiraku in this Kyushu tournament and successfully advanced to the national tournament. There is not much relevant information at the moment, but it is certain that they are very strong." Inoue Mamoru looked at the information in his hand, a serious expression on his face.
"Higachu had basically no achievements in the past, but this year he has suddenly improved by leaps and bounds. His captain, Nagashiro Kito, has not lost a single game so far. His style of play is to score points by any means necessary, even at the cost of hurting others' bodies, so he is also called an assassin by others."
"Hurt others? What a despicable tennis ball." Saori covered her mouth and sighed.
"But when it comes to violent tennis, I think no one can compare to Kamishiro." Inoue Mamoru pondered for a moment, and the image of Kamishiro Ai appeared in his mind.
In the previous Kanto tournament, Kamishiro Ai has perfectly demonstrated the art of violent tennis.
The cherry blossoms scattered all over the sky are beautiful yet full of murderous intent.
It was determined that the victim, Reiji Kamishiro, had lost the courage to pick up a racket and had bid farewell to tennis completely.
This may be unfortunate for Japanese tennis because a talented player has left.
But it is also a blessing at the same time, because Kamishiro Reiji's tennis is too dangerous and may hurt or even destroy others in the future.
Sacrificing one Reiji Kamishiro may save several tennis players.
However, from the perspective of the national team, the destructive power of violent tennis actually helped the Neon team win.
Violent tennis is a double-edged sword.
If it is not controlled properly, it can easily backfire on itself.
"Violent tennis..." Inoue Mamoru couldn't help but sigh: "It's really hard to describe."
"Then senior, Fudomine will not lose, right?" Saori looked worried when she heard that.
"Lose? Although Higa Junior High School is a dark horse, it is still a long way from being a top junior high school." Inoue Mamoru shook his head slightly:
"From the schedule, Fudomine will play against Jiazhong in the first game, and the second game will be against the winner of Hyotei and Seigakuchu."
"Judging from Fudomine's previous matches, it won't be difficult to win these two games."
“So there will be no problem advancing to the semi-finals.”
"Then senior, who do you think Fudomine and the others will face in the semi-finals and finals?" Saori asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"From the current schedule, it is highly likely that it will be Shitenhoji and Rikkai University. Rikkai University's strength is unquestionable, and it can basically defeat other junior high schools."
“Shitenhoji has also performed very well this year. Both Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Toyama Kintaro have performed very well in previous competitions and have not lost a single match in the competition.”
"So impressive." Saori frowned, "But Rikkai University lost miserably before."
"God's son Yukimura Seiichi has been discharged from the hospital. His strength is unmatched in the entire national competition except for Kamishiro Lan. This also means that as long as he faces other people from Fudomine, he will win!"
"This is also an opportunity that Rikkai University must seize."
Inoue Mamoru said in a deep voice.
......
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became heated, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, students from various major countries began to enter the venue.
Seigakuen, Hyotei, Fudomine, Rikkai University.
The tennis clubs of various junior high schools headed towards their respective competition venues under the leadership of their ministers.
The first match, Fudomine vs. Higachu.
The two sides met at the net.
It is worth mentioning that Inui Sadaharu of Seigakuen came to the scene, adjusted his glasses, and carefully recorded everything he saw.
His match had not yet arrived, so he took the time to come here to gather useful intelligence.
In the first match, Seigaku will face Hyotei. If he defeats him, he will face Fudomine.
......
Shake hands face to face.
Kimite Nagashiro, the captain of Higachu shook hands with Kamishiro Lan, with a smile on his face: "Kamiyo, huh? This time, Fudomine's journey to the national competition has almost come to an end. I heard that others compare you to Yukimura. Today, I will use my actions to tell them that I am the strongest."
Kamishiro Lan's eyes were calm, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing an arc of interest: "Young birds are always full of yearning for the sky, but they will always fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces."
The strongman in Higa, Tian Renzhihui: "Hey, I heard you are a gangster, don't let me beat you to death."
Akutsu: "Where did this fat garbage come from?"
After a friendly exchange, the competition began.
The first match was the doubles two match.
