NOVEL NEXT Chapter 80
Western Pacific Ocean.
On an ocean passenger ship.
Akutsumo stood quietly at the bow, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing in his face.
It has been a while since he set off from Neon by boat.
He will soon arrive at Busan, South Korea.
The venue for this competition is Seoul, which means he will have to take a few hours' drive after getting off the ship.
If he took a plane, he would have arrived long ago.
Akutsumo glanced at the extremely happy Shuji Tanejima from a distance, and secretly decided not to bring Shuji Tanejima with him on the next expedition.
It was too troublesome to travel by boat.
"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!"
Akuzumo turned on the phone.
The caller was Reinhard.
Akuzumo answered the phone and Reinhard's voice came over immediately.
"Our American team has arrived in South Korea. You should have arrived by now. Where are you? I'll come find you."
"We haven't arrived yet."
Akuzumo said helplessly
"You haven't arrived yet?"
Reinhardt asked in surprise.
The distance between Japan and South Korea is much shorter than that between the United States and���The distance between them is much closer.
Why hasn't the Neon team arrived yet?
"Something unexpected happened and we didn't take the plane."
Akutsumo explained
""Okay."
Reinhardt sighed.
If we take a boat, it will be much slower than taking a plane.
"Then we will have an expedition match with the South Korean team first.
Let me know when you arrive and I will come to see you. You are now a member of the American team, so it is time to get to know the members of the American team."
"no problem"
"Then I'm hanging up"
""Okay."
Akutsumu looked at their current location on the map.
If nothing goes wrong, they will arrive in Busan in one hour.
They will arrive in Seoul in six hours.
If the American team plays first, then there is no need to worry.
According to the rules of the expedition, the host team can only play against one team a day.
The American team plays against the South Korean team today.
So the match between the Japanese team and the South Korean team will have to wait until tomorrow.
Six hours later.
South Korea, Seoul Olympic Stadium.
Akutsumu led the Japanese team to the door.
After entering the stadium, they could hear the sound of hitting the ball on the field.
The American player fighting on the field was Reinhardt.
The game in progress was the No. 2 singles match.
"Let's find a place to sit and watch the game, if nothing unexpected happens."
Akuzumo motioned for the Neon team to sit down.
"Isn't the US team ranked fifth in the world? They actually lost a game to South Korea!"
Taneshima Shuji's surprised voice came. Akutsume looked at the scoreboard.
Doubles No. 2, the US team Dudu Obondo and Hopkins against South Korea's Park Yitian and Lee Jong-shin.
The US team lost to South Korea 1-2, with the scores of 4-6, 7-5, and 3-6 respectively.
After seeing the lineup, Akutsume immediately understood and explained lightly:
"Dudu Obondo and Hopkins are newcomers to the US team and do not have much combat experience.
Moreover, the two are more inclined to singles players, so it is not surprising that they lost.
I guess the US team is giving the newcomers a chance.
If they lose, you and Irie should not take it lightly."
However.
Having said that.
Akutsumo is still very confident in Shuji Taneshima and Kanata Irie.
In the original work, Shuji Taneshima can beat Zeus, the main Greek player, in singles. In doubles, he can win a game from the German team with the little seaweed Akaya Kirihara.
It is still very reliable.
As for Kanata Irie.
Akutsumo still hasn't figured out Kanata Irie's strength until now.
But judging from the fact that Kanata Irie can teach Tokugawa Kazuya together with Oni Jujiro.
Akutsumo feels that Kanata Irie's strength will never be weak.
"Got it."
Tanejima Shuji nodded.
He would not let down his guard in the first battle of the expedition.
Irie Kanata adjusted his glasses and smiled.
I wonder if the world's stage can support his performance.
"What is the situation of singles No. 3? Does anyone know?"
Tono Atsuki asked.
Akutsumo looked at the scoreboard again.
Singles No. 3, William of the American team vs. Kim Hee-chang of the South Korean team.
The American team won 2-0, and the scores in the game were 6-3 and 6-2. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Akutsumo raised his eyebrows slightly.
William? He seemed to know him.
Akutsumo looked in the direction of the American team.
He found that a blond and short-haired young man happened to look over and showed surprise.
Akutsumo retracted his gaze.
It was really the William he knew.
"William from the US team met me in the semi-finals of the US U16 Youth Challenge and was defeated by me.
In terms of strength, he is barely acceptable. He was able to beat the South Korean team's singles three by a large margin.
Tono Atsuki, you should have no problem winning"
"Is that so?"
Tono Atsuki laughed grimly, but he did not look down on William.
The strength that Akutsumo mentioned was barely acceptable, but he was not an ordinary person.
The No. 3 of the U.S. U16 Challenge has proved that William is not simple.
In their team, I am afraid that except for Byodoin Phoenix, Oni Jujiro, and Tanejima Shuji, no one can deserve such an evaluation.
Of course,
Kim Hee-chang of the South Korean team was not taken seriously by Tono Atsuki.
It's just a small country.[]
He will use the Thirteen Executions to defeat his opponent!
On the other side.
The audience of the American team
"Captain, is Akutsumi here with the Neon Team?"
William looked at Akutsumi and his emotions became difficult to control.
Even now, he still couldn't forget the 6-0 shutout in the semi-finals of the American Youth Challenge.
He had never been beaten so badly since his debut.
So William remembered Akutsumi very well.
"Are you here?"
The American commander Lucas looked in the direction of Akutsumo and said softly
"I can feel that he has become much stronger."
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly.
Was it his illusion?
He actually felt a little dangerous from Akutsu Jin.
You know, he is a professional player.
"He has become stronger, so we should be happier, right?"
Birdman Dudu Obondu said with a smile
"Indeed."
Lucas nodded.
Now Akutsumi is not their enemy, but a teammate with a cooperative relationship.
The stronger Akutsumi is, the more advantageous it is for the US team to win the championship.
This time I came to South Korea.
It is a good opportunity to take this expedition to see how strong Akutsumi is now.
