Chapter 208: Players lead U17 vs. West...
U-17 World Cup Final,
and the championship match,
Spain vs Japan,
The competition is about to begin!
U-17 World Cup Final Venue,
From the very beginning, the place was packed with people, all of whom were spectators who had heard the news.
Not only the spectators, but also the participating teams from each country were seated separately.
"...The day has finally arrived,"
"I didn't expect that they would be the ones to face off in the end."
"The world's number one team, Germany, actually lost to Spain..."
"Not only did they lose to Spain, they also lost to Japan in the public warm-up exhibition match..."
“…”
"So, is the German team the hurdle that will determine the final teams?"
In the audience, the spectators who were eager to watch the fun were chattering about everything, killing time while waiting for the contestants to enter the arena.
When I was about to say something, the atmosphere in the venue changed.
——Here it comes!
All eyes were focused on the players entering the venue simultaneously from the two sides of the tunnel.
These are the fourteen players who made it to the final of the U-17 World Cup!
"It's coming out—it's coming out—"
U-17 is near the Japanese team waiting area, in the front row of the audience.
The first-year students of Seigaku who had traveled thousands of miles to support were extremely excited.
After watching the last match between Japan and the United States, the youngsters who had never seen such a big scene up close to home tossed and turned and didn't get a good sleep for several nights.
Come on, beating the US team in the last game definitely means they can make it to the finals!!
This is the U-17 World Cup final.
What if... I win?
Then they are the world champions!!
The excitement lasted for two or three days.
And it continues until the day when the finals actually arrive!
Horio Satoshi nervously grasped the cheering flag, his eyes unable to control looking towards the contestant's passage.
It is said that the selection of players for the U-17 World Cup finals is completely closed and confidential.
No matter how hard I tried to find out the news, I couldn't get any.
Even when I asked the coaching staff of the U-17 Japanese national team indirectly, they only replied with a smiley face, "Oh... the decision on the players for the finals is made by the head coach~"
I know absolutely nothing about anything.
Everyone was confused, not just the U-17 Japanese national team's supporters.
Even the selected U-17 Japanese national team members were expected to select the final seven players through intra-team competitions.
——After all, they are all in the best condition now, physically, mentally and physically.
In that case——the only way to decide is through a competition...
Thinking this way,
Until the day of the U-17 World Cup final, no coach came to arrange the qualifiers.
The U-17 Japanese team: "..."
Eh, eh?
Internal strife is impossible.
Players have worked hard to maximize their stats, and all of them must remain at full capacity before entering the final battle.
The system pop-up window pops up the player selection page.
All UR and SSR,
As the race progresses, a lot of experience has been instilled.
The player no longer has any SR or R cards in his hands!
All SRs were successfully upgraded to SSRs.
There are even some SSR advanced UR!
The player's deck is extremely gorgeous, and it is a complete improvement compared to when he first entered the [U-17] copy.
——However, the players did not take it lightly.
Entering a new day with the sound of [Ding!],
The moment the character card selection page for the U-17 Japan National Team vs. U-17 Spain National Team game popped up,
Players, member recruitment has begun!
At the same time, the list of players for the U-17 Spanish national team has been updated in front of the players.
S3-Romeo Fernandez
D2-Mars di Colón/Seda
S2-Antonio da Medanore (******)
D1-Frio Roman/Siruba Cero Bianboli
S1-Rodriguez
The S2 singles second battle character card, Antonio da Medanore, the string of garbled characters following the name attracted the players' interest.
Click on the details to see,
【To be unlocked】
Player: “…”
Okay,
New challenges have emerged, how can players stand still!
All the cards are laid out in a row.
Without hesitation, the player directly places the UR with the highest value.
At the same time, players also found that when the cards were loaded into the double position (D2, D1),
UR/SSR cards with specific attributes initiate a link, and new buffs appear.
Click on the details page and take a look.
[Special BUFF: Quadruple Ability Resonance]
【——Only the ultimate tag team that shows the greatest respect to each other has a chance to be triggered!】
--oh?
The player sweeps the circle and reassembles the UR card that can trigger the special BUFF.
UR cards that can perform special combo skills.
And the UR card with the best value,
——This is the player's battle strategy!
“Here I come!”
Finally, as the entrance march came to an end, the final seven contestants in the contestant channel,
Unveil the mystery,
Completely—standing before the eyes of the world!
U-17 Spanish national team——
A neat and tidy Spanish royal style tassel cape,
The one leading the way was the captain of the current U-17 Spanish national team, Antonio da Medanore.
Next, Frio Roman and Siluba Cero Bemboli walked side by side.
A low roar and exclamations,
From the good-looking Romeo Fernandez, and the short-skirted Mars di Colón,
Seda, wearing a mask, glanced at the audience, passing by indifferently.
And Rodrigo, who was last in line.
The voices of support for the Spanish team suddenly intensified, and the cheers were overwhelming.
The waving Spanish flag fluttered in the wind, attracting the attention of the entire audience.
At the same moment, there was also movement in the contestant passage on the other side!
The mysterious seven finally appeared!
The focus of everyone's attention, the figure is clear!
Leading the way were none other than the Echizen brothers, Ryoma Echizen and Ryoma Echizen, who looked exactly alike!
"—It's Prince Ryoma!"
"——There are actually two Echizen! A big Echizen and a small Echizen!"
“…Ryoma…”
Led by the first-year students of Seigaku, a discussion broke out in a mix of high and low voices.
But it's not just the Echizen brothers.
Following closely behind were Ochi Gekko and Mori Jusaburo.
"There it is—the first doubles team!"
“Ohhhhhhh!!! Go ahead!!”
As expected of the top U-17 doubles team, the appearance of Ochi Gekko and Maori Jusaburo is highly anticipated.
Then, the red-haired Toyama Kintaro—and his partner Kirihara Akaya—both appeared!
Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway.
But being able to bring these two guys together,
“…”
"...Well, as expected of Master Yagi."
After all, as everyone knows - the Evil Kelp Head and the Chaotic Red Monkey, these two guys are simply a bunch of toxic people!
Put them together, except for Jibaimao, there is really no one who can suppress them!
Six people have appeared, the last one,
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,
Finally out of the fog.
The mysterious seventh person is also the destined seventh person——
Not surprisingly,
Kei Yagi.
Dead silence, endless dead silence,
What followed was a subversive madness.
Everyone was going crazy, their facial expressions distorted by excitement,
"Here he comes!"
"That's right!! I knew he would definitely play!!"
“——PERFECT! Perfect, absolutely perfect!!”
Bathed in countless sounds,
Walking in countless sights,
Compared with the previous Spanish team's performance, they were completely behind.
Not only the Spanish national team,
Even the top six players of the Japanese team were no match for them!
The focus of everyone's attention,
The player not only shoulders the role of the seventh man, but also the responsibility of the head coach of the U-17 Japanese national team.
The contestants entered the arena, and the six stood side by side.
Only the mysterious seventh person sat directly on the coaching chair.
Looking up at each other,
U-17 Spanish national team, coaching bench,
Echizen Nanjiro was supporting his face with one hand, looking at him across the stage with a rather nonchalant smile!
"See you again, teenager~"
The lip shape changes, and Echizen Nanjiro's slightly playful tone seems to ring in everyone's ears.
Slightly tightened his brows,
Echizen Ryoma pulled his hat up and said, "Still the same, stinky old man."
"Hi hi~" Echizen Ryuya was also a person who liked to watch the fun and did not mind getting involved. He narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled, and nodded his chin.
"Wouldn't it be more interesting this way?"
“…”
“We’re still a long way from here!”
The U-17 Japanese team is currently calm under the leadership of Jibaimao.
The situation of the Spanish U-17 team was not so calm.
"So that's what the Center is like. How interesting."
Florio Roman rubbed his chin.
"I've never really seen it before, but I didn't expect to see it now," Mars di Collone also said with a smile.
"The coach's two sons are also across the street."
Xiluba pointed out objectively and clearly,
"Well, that's their choice," Romeo Fernandez smiled.
Antonio da Medanore said calmly, "When you are ready, let's begin."
“——Yes~”
"yes!"
Mars di Collone responded, but he caught a glimpse of his partner from the corner of his eye.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Seda?"
Seda, the masked boy, looked deeply at the coaching booth on the opposite side of the field. When Mars di Colón called out,
He just slowly withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
Mars di Collone stroked his chin. "Why? Little Seda, are you also interested in the Center that refuses to join us?"
“…”
“…He’s different.”
As soon as the words came out, Mars di Colón was immediately interested and said coquettishly,
"What? What? What's different?!"
When asked further, Seda just put on a dead face, turned around and walked away without saying a word.
"Hey! Little Seda—tell me, tell me!"
Mars di Collone ran after Seda, who was carrying a racket.
Frio Roman and Siluba Cero Bianboli looked at each other helplessly.
Romeo Fernandez remained gentle. "Then I'll get ready."
Mars di Collone turned around and said, "Good luck! Romifil!"
After receiving the support, Romeo Fernandez waved his hand and walked onto the court with his racket.
At the same time,
The U-17 Japanese national team also made a move.
The one who walked out from the group of seven people was none other than Ryuga Echizen!
He took out his racket, touched his neck, and joked,
"Oh, I didn't expect that I would be the first one~"
As usual, before going on the court, he first came to the head coach, Yagi Kei, and said casually,
"Well, I'm going to—"
As if he remembered something by chance, he lowered his head and moved closer.
"Before I go on stage, do you have any instructions? Head Coach—"
His pronunciation was unclear and vague, sounding a bit ambiguous.
All of a sudden - the evil kelp head of the big fan of Jibaimaoduwei stood up, staring intently with a pair of eyes without relaxing, guarding against it tightly and not giving an inch.
Echizen Ryuga didn't care about Kirihara Akaya, his attention was focused elsewhere.
I waited and waited, but there was no response.
I don't know if it was regret or something, he shook his hands, held his head nonchalantly, whistled and turned to walk away leisurely.
Well, well—how cold and heartless—
Their head coach~
"you,"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound, like thunder from the blue sky, which made everyone look over at the same time.
Echizen Ryuga paused, turned his back and raised his eyebrows.
This is……
"Ten minutes."
“…Hmm? Hmm?”
Echizen Ryuga turned his head and saw a pair of black, almost empty,
Almost devouring his entire eyes, his entire body, and even his soul.
Retreat into nothingness——
Suddenly, I broke out in a cold sweat and my heart started beating violently.
He looked at Yagi Kei, into his eyes.
'Ten minutes, end the game.'
The owner of these eyes said so.
“——”
"U-17 World Cup Final, Japan vs. Spain—"
"Singles 3 - S3, Echizen Ryuga (Japan) vs. Romeo Fernandez (Spain),"
“This match adopts a best-of-three format, the first one to win two games wins!
——The game is about to begin!!!"
“Beep!!”
A sharp whistle cuts through the air,
Romeo Fernandez greeted the player, who appeared to be one of the sons of the coach of his Spanish national team, with a friendly greeting.
The expression and tone are very natural. If you want to greet each other in a friendly way before starting,
But, unexpectedly,
Instead, it was Ryuga Echizen, who looked quite like Nanjiro Echizen, who spoke first.
"——Well, if it were normal, I'd really like to have some fun with you."
"But I'm really sorry, time is limited. After all, our head coach is very strict."
Echizen Ryuga smiled, his eyes narrowed, his gaze as thin as a paper knife.
Romeo Fernandez's intuition was slightly achy, and he heard the person on the other side of the net holding a racket and speaking casually,
"So——can you just admit defeat now?"
“…”
Romeo Fernandez listened to it again, and yes, the words were indeed like that.
...Give up?
Let the opponent surrender at the start?
What is this...direction?
There was no reply, and the silence was unusual.
Echizen Ryuya grabbed his hair twice, feeling quite helpless.
"After all, it's a best-of-three game, so a game only lasts three minutes.
Well, even if we act faster, we can still make it in time, but if we can save trouble—of course, saving trouble is best."
"—Isn't that right?"
He narrowed his eyes. "Romeo Fernandez."
Echizen Ryuga called out his name.
Palpitations, fear,
Romeo Fernandez slowly raised his head, wanting to say something, at least to avoid being suppressed and falling into a disadvantage.
But just looking up,
The whole person suddenly fell into an endless vortex.
Echizen Ryoma, smiling in front of Yagi Kei, looks like someone who is easy to get along with.
But everyone forgot,
This guy is the real creator of [“Deprivation & Devouring”].
This guy's nature has always been chaos and darkness.
"Tsk tsk...how come all these good guys are completely devoted to that guy?"
U-17 Spanish national team, coaching bench,
Echizen Nanjiro was shocked and refused to admit that he couldn't even bring back his own son.
It would be fine if he couldn't bring the chicken back, but his two sons were kidnapped by the cat - without even looking back!
Echizen Nanjiro was really depressed.
"Over there—Mars and Seda, get ready, it's time to go."
Mars Di Collone, who had just sat down and was ready to watch the game, was puzzled.
He looked at the harmonious scene of the two parties shaking hands and talking, and then looked at Echizen Nanjiro who suddenly gave an order.
"Coach, Romifil hasn't started yet..."
"Ah, that."
Echizen Nanjiro scratched his head. He didn't expect that the opponent's idiot could actually pick up Echizen Ryuga in S3-Singles 3.
Well, there are indeed a lot of talented people there.
One Echizen Ryuga is nothing, it's a good thing that he didn't throw himself up.
Thinking about it this way, it really makes me jealous.
That kid, tsk.
Scratching his neck with his sleeves in his pocket, Echizen Nanjiro waved his hand.
"Well... not giving up is a good thing~"
Mars didn't understand what Echizen Nanjiro said.
Frio Roman and Siluba Cero Bianboli looked at each other, neither of them understood, and they wanted to ask more questions.
But on the court, the situation has already begun to change.
“Beep!”
"GAME - Echizen Ryuga serves!"
Taking out a tennis ball from his pocket, Echizen Ryuya weighed it, then picked up the racket, drew a line in the air, and pointed it at the other side of the net.
Romeo Fernandez, who couldn't help but feel a little nervous,
He smiled and said, "Relax~Relax~It will be quick."
“…”
Facing the tense and silent Romeo Fernandez,
Echizen Ryuya said to himself, "Let me think... eight minutes, nine minutes?"
He muttered to himself,
"Well, it's happily decided. Eight minutes and thirty seconds."
This is certain, the careless person finally opened his eyes,
Almost instantly,
Romeo Fernandez stepped back suddenly, his heart pounding and still feeling fear.
Those swirling, almost endless eyes appeared again.
Circles and curls, layers and layers, pressing down, rolling...
Echizen Ryuga nodded to himself: "Well, let's end it like this."
"The remaining minute and a half—"
He raised his head.
"——Consider it a gift from me."
Echizen Ryuga made a fancy move, hinting at something, and with a glance, he led the other person towards the coaching bench on the side of the field.
"If you want to thank someone, then thank our great head coach—"
Echizen Ryuga showed some evil spirit,
"Romeo Fernandez, who asked you to get in the way?"
