The national competition begins.
"It's finally the national competition. Xingyan, how are you feeling now? Where have you been these past few days? We went to Chiba for a few days and also went to..."
Kikumaru Eiji saw Hyotei when they were registering in the morning. Before the captains of the two schools could say hello, he ran over and asked Xingyan a lot of questions.
"I am at the U17 training base, training them specially."
Xingyan looked at the unusually active senior Kikumaru with a smile and gave a brief account of his whereabouts during this period.
Anyway, after the national competition, we will go to the U17 for special training and selection, so there is no need to hide many things.
"Special training?"
Kikumaru Eiji felt that he didn't seem to understand the meaning of this.
Is it Xingyan who goes for special training, or is it Xingyan who gives special training to others?
But no matter which one it is, it feels amazing. It would be great if he could go to U17 in the future.
...
...
"Good luck in the national competition. The U17 staff will come here to observe. A batch of invitations should be sent out after the national competition."
Xingyan told them about this in advance. It made no difference anyway, and it could also give them more motivation to work harder.
"Really? Is it possible for me to get the invitation letter from the U17 team?"
Kikumaru Eiji blinked his eyes. He was not hallucinating. Now they actually have a chance to enter U17. This is great!
"So, work hard, but don't feel pressured. Your inner strength is also within the scope of reference."
Patting Kikumaru Eiji on the shoulder, Xingyan smiled at the other members of Qingxue, then turned around and left with everyone from Hyotei.
The registration is over and the official competition will begin.
The draw order for the competition was conducted yesterday. Xingyan did not participate. Now, after looking at the distribution of the competitions, they will actually play against Qingxue tomorrow.
In other words, it is still the quarterfinals of the original plot.
In this case, the losing side will be outside the top four.
However, there were some differences in the order from what he remembered.
Their Hyotei's position was swapped with Seigaku's.
In other words, all the opponents who originally belonged to Qingxue have now become their Hyotei's.
The first game is a bye, and the second game is against Higa Central, which will start in the afternoon.
"Are you going to watch other schools' games this morning?"
Oshitari showed the match schedule to Xingyan, on which the venues of the matches were marked.
"You can go and look around. I need to focus on observing the members of several schools' school teams. Not only will they become our Hyotei's opponents, but they may also be selected for the U17 team in the future."
Xingyan took a battle schedule, explained the situation to everyone at Hyotei, and then went out to observe alone.
I first went to see the competition venues of Higa Junior High School and Rokkaku Junior High School, glanced at the starting players of the two school teams, sorted out their data and made a rough record.
Then we found the Shitenboji school team in the rest area, which also had a bye.
But he just needed to confirm the data of Minister Shitenhoji, and then turned around and left.
Just as he was leaving, a red-haired boy who was similar in height to Ryoma and was not wearing the Shitenhoji team uniform ran by.
"Toyama Kintaro, this data is quite good!"
Xingyan looked back and made a separate mark for Kintaro Toyama, who had extremely strong statistics.
Next up is Rikkai University's match...
The same goes for Rikkai University. Their people had already dispersed to observe the opponent, and the person Xingyan was looking for was just the recovered Yukimura Seiichi.
"Xingyan, long time no see. Now I'm back on the field!"
When Yukimura Seiichi saw Xingyan, his eyes narrowed with a smile.
He originally wanted to go to Hyotei to take a look, and just as he was walking out with Sanada, he unexpectedly met them on the roadside.
"Your body has recovered. Go for it on the field. Don't forget our agreement."
While Xing Yan was speaking, the pen in his hand had already drawn a big circle around all the names of Rikkai University.
There is no need for too much observation. All members of Rikkai University can participate in special training. Their own training conditions are sufficient.
"What's this?"
Yukimura Seiichi moved closer and looked at the name circled by Xingyan, his smile froze.
Why does it feel like all of their Rikkai University members have been wiped out? Is this a declaration of war?
Moreover, the agreement just mentioned should still be the one-on-one deal mentioned before, right?
"Select a suitable roster of school team players for U17. Based on current observations, all players of Rikkai University meet the requirements."
Xingyan reached out and let Yukimura take a closer look at the school team list, allowing him to see clearly some of the school teams and individuals drawn on it.
"Did Xingyan join the U17?"
Yukimura Seiichi was relieved when he was sure that this didn't mean they would be wiped out. His smile was so gentle that even Sanada couldn't help but take a step back.
But there was doubt in his eyes. After all, according to Xingyan's age, the best development would be to go to u14, and then go to u17 after achieving good results.
Of course, as long as you are under 17 years old, you can participate in U17, there is no restriction on this.
"I'm a temporary acting coach. This year's World Cup requires the participation of middle school students. If you want to participate, you can start strengthening your training after the national competition. The training mode of the U17 is very brutal, but you must pay attention to protection during training. If you get injured due to poor training, it will be a big loss."
Xingyan admires the school team of Rikkai University, especially the three giants of Rikkai University. They have integrated a champion team without a coach.
Although they lost to Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament some time ago, this cannot deny the excellence of Rikkai University.
"We'll work hard. This is the racket I usually use. Can Xingyan give me an autograph?"
Seiichi Yukimura was really happy to receive such news.
So, he picked up the racket and asked Xingyan for an autograph for the first time.
Although he already had many autographed items in his hands, the autograph he wanted definitely had a different meaning.
"Where is the signature?"
Xing Yan didn't expect that he still couldn't escape the task of signing autographs before the game. Although he wouldn't be facing Rikkai University for the time being, this was still a must before the game...
“Sign here.”
Pointing to the area where the tape was wrapped, he asked Xingyan to sign here.
"All right..."
Looking at the position of the handle, Xingyan felt that this racket probably could not be used on the court.
No one would sign in this position. After playing a few games, the signature would be gone.
However, he still signed his name seriously. After all, he knew that Seiichi Yukimura would never lack a racket that suited him.
