NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70
Chapter 70 : The first round of the Kanto Contest, Seigaku again
As the champion teams of the Tokyo Grand Tournament, Hyotei and Rikkai are mostly the seed teams of the Kanto Grand Tournament. They have been assigned to different regions to ensure that they will not encounter them in the first few rounds.
No. 1, Rikkai is big, No. 15, Hyotei.
As the lottery proceeded, the schedule arrangement gradually became clear.
“No. 16, youth Gakuen.”
Suddenly, the voice of the lottery staff reached Youyun’s ears.
“Um?”
Youyun, who didn’t care much about the result of the lottery ceremony, raised her head in surprise and looked to the front of the lottery venue.
Seigaku’s lottery represents Yamato Yuta holding a piece of paper with number 16 written on it.
Draw this lottery, it means that Seigaku has become the opponent of Hyotei in the first round of the Kanto Contest.
“This is really…”
Youyun doesn’t know how to express her feelings, Seigaku and Hyotei are really so related?
“Oh, it seems that Seigaku’s luck is really bad.”
Atobe smiled, and he also thought things became more interesting.
There were only 16 schools participating in the Kanto Contest, and the lottery ceremony was quickly over.
“Yukimura, Sanada, since the draw is over, we should go back.”
After the lottery ceremony, Youyun and Atobe are also ready to leave Rikkai.
“Kazami, see you at the Kanto Contest.”
Yukimura and Sanada send Youyun and Atobe to the gate of Rikkai.
“Go back and tell Tezuka that I will defeat him in the Kanto Contest.”
Sanada looked at Youyun and said solemnly.
“I will take your words.”
After Youyun finished speaking, he left Rikkai University with Atobe.
Yukimura looked at the back of Youyun and Atobe leaving, her eyes flickering slightly.
“Are you worried? Yukimura.”
I don’t know when, Yanagi Renji also came here, looked at Yukimura who was in a daze, and said.
“It turned out to be Renji, how is Hyotei’s new data collection?”
Hearing Yanagi Renji’s voice, Yukimura recovered and turned to ask Yanagi Renji.
“The collection has been completed. The information collected this time is very useful to us. In the final of the Tokyo Metropolitan Contest, Hyotei and Yamabuki’s match, Hyotei won 3-2, but Hyotei’s victory was all theirs. Singles, as for Hyotei’s doubles, they lost two games, so I think Hyotei’s doubles is their biggest weakness.”
Yanagi Renji said.
“Yes.”
Seeing Youyun and Atobe disappearing in the distance, Yukimura turned and walked into Rikkai.
Sanada and Yanagi Renji looked at each other and followed Yukimura silently.
They are a little weird, Yukimura, what are they thinking?
……
On June 8th, it has been nearly a month since the end of the Metropolis Contest.
Today is the day when the Kanto Contest begins.
In the national competitions for middle school students held every year, only in the Kanto competition and other regions and the same level of the Kanto competition and the final national competition, the truly powerful schools will slowly emerge.
The previous metropolis and regional qualifiers are completely incomparable with these matches.
If you want to say, the competitions and regional qualifiers can only be regarded as the pre-qualifications before the Kanto Competition and the National Competition, because there are so many schools participating in the national competition every year.
Through these two stages of match, most of the schools with insufficient strength are brushed down, and those who are left are the best in each region.
Today, Hyotei and his group took their luxurious bus to the match venue of the Kanto Contest.
After the Hyotei people got off the car, they didn’t make any stop. After handing in the relevant information of their Hyotei contestants to the staff, they went straight to the venue where they were going to have their first match.
Seigaku, the opponent of the match, is also considered Hyotei’s old friend.
After Hyotei and his team came to the match venue, Seigaku’s people also happened to be here.
“Coach Sakura, I didn’t expect that this year, Seigaku and Hyotei will really fight again in the Kanto Championship.”
Glancing at Hyotei’s team, Ryūzaki Jin sighed.
In the Tokyo tournament, Seigaku lost to Hyotei, and finally made it to the Kanto tournament, but Hyotei actually stopped in front of them.
Ryūzaki Jin couldn’t help but let out a sigh in his heart.
In her opinion, this time against Hyotei, the result will not be much better than when they were in the competition again.
“I was also surprised about this, but Coach Ryūzaki, it seems that you Seigaku have changed a lot in this month.”
Sakura Taro’s sharp gaze flicked behind Ryūzaki Sumire to the eight finalists of the Seigaku Tennis Club.
Compared with the time in the Tokyo competition, Seigaku’s selection team has undergone a lot of changes, with a few fewer official third-year players and a few more first-year new faces.
“It seems that Ryūzaki Sumire also discovered the biggest problem with Seigaku Tennis Club now?”
Youyun thought in his heart.
He doesn’t know who the people who are being replaced in Seigaku’s election are, but he knows these newly-added first-year elections.
Fuji Syusuke, Inui Sadaharu, Oishi Syuichirou, Kikumaru Eiji. *
