Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 407: Nomination qualification for the World Youth Championship, is that it?
Hearing Nan Yan's words, Sasano Berry's pupils trembled slightly.

Meeting in the finals?

And this rookie team?

At this moment, Sasanoberry stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

If Kiyosumi has such confidence, Sasano Berry can understand it. After all, this team has players like Haramura who are both popular and capable, as well as ace players like Minami Yumenghiko.

But how could Achiga, a little-known team, make it to the finals?

If a new team can make it to the finals, then it would be too easy to get into the finals, right?

You have to know that the finals in the past were basically the same teams, and new faces have not been seen for a long time. The two strongest dark horses last year also fell in the semi-finals one after another.

Many dark horse teams are basically short-lived. They come to the national stage in their first year, but disappear without a trace in the second year and cannot even qualify for the county preliminaries.

It has been many years since we have seen a new team make it to the finals.

"In this year's finals, I'm afraid the number of new teams will exceed that of the established giants. This will make the finals more interesting."

Nan Yan finished saying these words which sounded shocking to Sasanokome, and then he quickly laughed it off as if he himself did not believe it.

"Regardless of that, let's go see how to register for the World Youth Championship."

"……it is good."

Sasanome was still frightened by what Nan Yan had just said.

The newcomers in the final will outperform the established giants.

This. How is this possible?
In previous years, the finals were basically dominated by the same few teams. The dark horse teams were quickly thoroughly studied by the coaching teams of other teams in the second and third rounds, and most of them ran out of steam in the semifinals and fell one after another.

For about five or six years, the same teams have reached the finals.

Especially in recent years.

With champion Miyanaga Teru dominating the national competition stage, and the luxurious team formed by Linhai women, these two teams almost occupied the two places in the finals, and the remaining two places were also occupied by other old and powerful teams.

If a dark horse team wants to make it to the finals, it must defeat at least one seeded team and several established powerhouses in the semifinals.

According to Nan Yan's judgment, at least two new teams will enter the finals.

Then how many top teams will fall in the semi-finals!
This is almost unimaginable.

Doesn’t Nan Mengyan know what a terrible challenge they will face next?
However, no matter how unbelievable what Nan Mengyan said was, Sasano Mei still had some belief in her heart.

After all, the boy in front of me always gives me a feeling that he can create miracles.

I hope this isn't an illusion...
.
"What, I'm not qualified!?"

Under the gaze of many professional players, Terasaki Yuzuki had an expression of disbelief on his face. "I once had a score of 150,000 in Fukuyama Prefecture, and I also made it to the semi-finals in the individual competition of the national competition in the past two years. Isn't this result enough to participate in the World Youth Championship?"

After being rejected last year, Yuzuki Terasaki still felt that his performance in the competition was not good enough.

So she waited for a year and applied this year, but was rejected again.

There are so many professional players, but they didn’t even get a nomination.

Does participating in the World Youth Championship require connections, inviting professional players to dinner, and bowing and toasting to these professional players at the banquet?

"Terasaki Yuzuki, you were seventh in the semifinals the year before last, and fifteenth in the individual competition last year. You also led your team to the third round, and saved the day when your team was on the verge of elimination in the second round last year. It is undeniable that you are indeed a very capable player.

But your ability is not yet qualified for selection.

You should just give up."

At the registration site for the World Youth Championship, the 20-year-old Yoshiko Kaname served as the deputy chief supervisor of the World Youth Championship.

In addition to her, Noriha Noori, who ranks fifth in the country, will be the general supervisor, and both of them have veto power.

Even if they gathered nominations from ten professional players, she and Noirisa could veto each other's eligibility to participate.

What's more, Terasaki Yuzuki can't even get a single vote now.

At this time, Terasaki Yuzuki was somewhat broken.

She is in her third year, her last year, and this is her last chance to sign up, so of course she has to try her best.

"I don't believe it. I want to see what level of players will be the next to sign up. I don't think I'm weaker than them!"

Terasaki Yuzuki started to act like a rogue.

Sato Yuko, a professional commentator who was also eligible to vote, smiled gently and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious. It won't be too late to sign up for the competition after you finish playing with Jian Gu, Achiga, and Chisatoyama this afternoon."

Upon hearing this, Terasaki Yuzuki sneered.

I thought that in the top four match, the opponents include two new teams, Jian Gu and Achiga, so only the seeded team Qianlishan is worth paying attention to.

The other two weak teams are not worth mentioning at all.

It's impossible that they can lose in the quarter-finals, right?
Absolutely impossible!
"I'll just wait and see who will sign up next. If all of them are better than me, I'll leave immediately."

It’s not that Terasaki Yuzuki doesn’t know her own strengths and weaknesses, but she knows very well that truly powerful contestants, such as Arakawa Kensuke and Miyanaga Teru, can basically get direct invitations and don’t need to come here to register.

The contestants who can register here must be the tallest among the short ones.

So with her achievements, why can't she participate? Not even a nomination for a professional player.

This made Terasaki Yuzuki feel very unfair, and there must be some human factors involved.

Soon, Terasaki Yuzuki found the evidence.

Because the next person to sign up was Koizumi Kuniichi from Yokohama Koichi Boys High School.

A guy who is only on the tour has the nerve to sign up.

What's even funnier is that this person actually got nominations from ten professions and journalists present. Even Ms. Sato Yuko, who had just been honored, gave him a vote somewhat shyly.

Being stared at with questioning eyes by Terasaki Yuzuki, Sato Yuko was also embarrassed. After all, she was only entrusted by someone, and the other party had a very important background. A small commentator like her would never dare to be an enemy of him.

However, even if Koizumi Kuni got ten places.

When he happily came in front of Jie Nengliangzi and was about to speak.

He believed that this young professional mahjong player, who was only 20 years old, would never dare to refuse his request.

After all, behind him is the Koizumi family!
Even if they knew that he bought his spot, so what? This was the advantage of having a good family background. Even a professional player of high status had to humble himself.

But in the end, Ji Neng Liangzi just glanced at him indifferently.

"You are unqualified."

"What!?"

Koizumi Kuniichi's originally cheerful expression suddenly froze, and he immediately asked loudly: "I got ten nominations, why can't I qualify for the World Youth Championship?"

"Why do you think there is a supervisor position for the World Youth Championship registration?"

Yoshiko Kaname's eyes remained cold, "Supervision is to prevent people from taking advantage of the rules and allowing those players with no real talent to enter the World Youth Championship.

If you don't have the ability, please leave as soon as possible and don't waste your time here."

"you!"

Koizumi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I want to see if any of the next contestants can get ten nominations like me."

Many of the nominees are his people, even Yuko Sato, a well-known live commentator in charge of the national professional league, has to vote for him.

As long as he gives a look, these people will not vote for anyone else.

Therefore, no matter who the subsequent contestants are, it is impossible for them to get more than ten nominations. At this time, he can challenge the young contestant Yoshiko Kanono.

No one who dares to go against him will have a good ending!

"Hey, my friend, why are you standing on my side?"

Seeing Koizumi Kuniichi standing aside with a frustrated look on his face, Terasaki Yuzuki said sarcastically.

"The registration for this World Youth Championship is very unfair! I want to fight for fairness!"

Even though he heard Terasaki Yuzuki's ridicule, Koizumi Kuniichi still found a plausible reason to respond to her. Anyway, this girl was probably unhappy with the registration system of the World Youth Championship and was standing here in silent protest.

When enough people gather here, the young supervisor will feel the pressure and anger from the crowd, and then she will naturally give in.

Soon, the third and fourth persons also appeared.

"My dear, I didn't expect that the pioneer of Bai Shitai is really something. She can suppress me. Next time I meet her, I must beat her once!"

"It's better to keep quiet about the people who have lost 70,000 in the vanguard battle."

"What are you talking about! You only got 20,000 points, which is only for a rookie from Shiraitodai. How dare you say that? If you were to fight against their ace, I guarantee you would lose so badly that not a single riichi stick would be left in your drawer!" "Humph, I won't fire randomly like you."

The two quarreled and bickered with each other along the way.

It was Madoka Kaede and Akasui Chao who had just finished the vanguard and secondary forward battles in the morning and walked back from the competition site.

In the morning's match, they faced the number one seed, Shiraitodai Nishitokyo. As a result, Akasui Chao was killed by the opponent's vanguard and lost more than 70,000 points. In the end, it was Mamoda Kaede who helped him clean up the mess and get the points back.

Coach Nieman did not blame Chishuichao. Instead, seeing that the two of them had nothing to do, he asked them to come here to register for the World Youth Championship.

Feng Mamoda had no interest in this, but as the son of Neon's Minister of Economy, he had heard of the rewards for the World Youth Championship.

So he came over to take a quick look.

"All the professional handsome men and beautiful women, come and vote for me. With my performance of sweeping the first and second rounds, it shouldn't be too much to be nominated for the World Youth Championship!"

As soon as Chi Shuichao came in, he spoke to these professional nominees in a casual manner.

Upon seeing these two people coming, Koizumi Kuniichi immediately winked at these nominees.

It's impossible to get ten nominations right under his nose!

Afterwards, one of them got six votes and the other only got five votes. They failed to get ten nominations and were unable to qualify for the World Youth Championship.

It hasn't even reached the stage of supervision.

"What's going on? Isn't my performance these days impressive enough? I swept all the other teams in the two days of competition. On the first day, I scored 320,000 points and defeated three teams. Isn't that enough?"

Seeing that there were only six votes, Chi Shuichao, who had been determined to win, changed his expression instantly.

I am the one who carries the King of Flowers.

Why not nominate him?

"Are you referring to the player who scored 70,000 points in the reverse match in today's Vanguard Battle?"

On the other side, Noirisa, the general supervisor, spoke directly.

Originally, she was planning to leave it entirely to Yoshiko Kaname to handle, but now there are more and more unqualified people, and they are gathering nearby to protest. If this continues, this registration site will turn into a farce.

"If you are not qualified, you are not qualified. Do you think it is so easy to qualify for the World Youth Championship? Players who can't qualify now can wait until the national competition is over and then come back. By then, everything will be determined by your results!"

However, as soon as Noirisa finished speaking, everyone here began to protest.

"This is not possible, that is not possible. Who are you going to give the spot for the World Youth Championship to?"

"Yeah, I can't even get ten nominations. Who can get more nominations than me?"

"Yeah, even I, Chi Shuichao, can't do it. I don't believe there is anyone stronger than me."

"Stop talking, you just lost to Shiraishidai's Miyanaga Teru!"

"But Gong Yongzhao has already received a direct invitation to the World Youth Championship. What's wrong with me losing to her alone? I dare say that all the people who come in to register will lose to that pervert!"

Just when there was a lot of noise here.

A girl's surprised voice came from outside the door.

“It looks like there are a lot of people.”

"Eh? There wouldn't be many people coming to the World Youth Championship, but why is it so lively now?"

Hearing the sweet girl's voice, the noise here quickly disappeared.

Then the eyes of everyone present brightened up. After all, the two girls who came in had beautiful faces, each with her own unique characteristics.

Among them, when Koizumi Kuni saw the two girls, a sinister look suddenly appeared on his face.

Sasanoberry, and Haramura and...

These two girls are both popular players in national competitions. As long as he manipulates the situation so that neither of them can enter the World Youth Championship, and then finds a few reporters to write a report, and then lets the media publish it to make a big deal out of it, the supervisors here will not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion as a whole, and they will have to relax the conditions at that time.

If you want to fight with the son of Neon Masaharu, you are still too young!
But Koizumi Kuniichi did not expect that behind the two beautiful girls, there was a silent boy in black.

The moment they saw this boy, everyone on the field, including the nominated professional players, widened their eyes.

The person who came was actually the most troublesome one.

Nan Mengyan!
The nominee, Onuma Akita, immediately looked embarrassed.

Of course, he could cooperate with Koizumi Kuniichi and not nominate Minami Mengyan.

But even if we do this, it doesn't really make much sense.

Because this person...

"Nan Mengyan, you pass!"

Each family is still in the process of making various calculations.

Yoshiko Kaineng made a very firm voice that shocked the whole audience.

Yes, since she has the veto power, she naturally also has the power to approve.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether others vote for Nan Mengyan or not. Just from the two unique methods of 'backhand straight cut' and 'induced side exposure' demonstrated in the first and second rounds, Jianeng Liangzi knew who this student learned from.

Putting aside these technical features, based on Minami Mengyan's performance in national competitions and her achievements in multiple yakuman competitions, no one dared to oppose her decision.

Faced with Yoshiko Kaname's one vote in favor, some professional players and reporters present were silent.

Now it’s useless even if they don’t nominate him, Nan Mengyan passed him with one vote!

"Noyori Kyudan, what do you think?"

Yoshiko Kaino asked the general supervisor next to her.

"Pass."

Noirisa also gave the decision to approve it, so now no one can stop Nan Yan from qualifying for the World Youth Championship.

On the field, Fujita Yasuko and Mukaimura Yuichi, who were also eligible for nomination, both began to applaud Minamihiko at the same time.

In their opinion, the value of this World Youth Championship will be much lower without Nan Mengyan.

Even if there are many people on the field with ulterior motives, it is meaningless.

After all, with Nan Mengyan's strength, any professional player who is not blind would nominate him.

However, since the nominations are made by two supervisors at the same time, their authority is even greater, and no professional mahjong player would dare to veto.

Sasano Berry and Haramura Kazu, who had just entered the room, were also slightly stunned at this moment.

Before either of them even started asking about the registration status, Nan Yan had already qualified for the World Youth Championship.

This is really...

too fast.

Nan Yan didn't expect it to be so fast, so that the qualification for the World Youth Championship felt like a cheap bargain, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips: "That's it?"

"Well, you're selected."

When Yoshiko Kainou saw that Noorisa had no objection, she announced it directly.

The speed of selection left Sasanomeberry speechless.

She thought it would take a long time to be selected. After all, Nan Yan’s biggest problem was that he had too little experience in national competitions. You know, even the player Gong Yong at that time was directly selected only after playing in the national competitions.

And Nan Yan only played two rounds of games.

With such a short competition, some more conservative professional mahjong players will let you play a few more rounds to see the results first.

But Nanyan was elected directly.

The speed was so fast that even Sasano Berry, who was not qualified to be selected, was envious from the bottom of her heart!
The gap between people is really bigger than that between people and dogs!
But when they saw that Nan Yan had qualified without getting a single nomination, the protesting four-member group immediately went wild!

"Why are my ten nominations not as good as your one word? Why? There must be something fishy going on. There must be something fishy going on with the registration for the World Youth Championship!"

"Is it possible that he was selected just because of a word from you? I absolutely do not agree with this!"

“Ahhhh! Nan Mengyan, why is it always you?! I want to duel with you!”

can not stand.

I can't stand it!
They either have to use their connections or flatter others to get a few nominations, and some don't even get any nominations at all.

But Nan Mengyan was selected without even being nominated.

This makes them extremely psychologically unbalanced!
They absolutely do not agree with this result!
