Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 511 Staff Arrangement
  After arriving at the hotel where he was staying, Zongyan quickly assigned the hotel room as he watched Mitsuya get the room number from the front desk.

"It's already very late. After taking such a long flight, everyone should be very tired. You can also take a lazy break tomorrow morning. The follow-up arrangements will be discussed in the afternoon."

"Senior Byodoin, we have agreed beforehand that this expedition will be all about me!"

Seeing that Byodoin seemed to want to refute, Saeki Munuhiko directly interrupted what he wanted to say, then walked directly into his room and disappeared in front of Byodoin and others.

"Boss, please rest early, your injury has not fully recovered yet!"

Duke saw Byodo-in's hesitant expression and took him away directly.

After Byodoin left, the other members of the First Army immediately relaxed.

Compared to the militarized style of Byodoin, Munehiko's time left for them can be said to be ample.

In the afternoon, Saeki Munuhiko gathered everyone together.

"I don't know what your expedition schedule was like before, but now two members of our team are injured and cannot participate in the competition.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is best not to overdo your training today and just maintain your regular amount of exercise. "

After Saeki Munuhiko finished speaking to everyone, he looked at Mitsuya and said.

"You go ahead, Mitsuya-senpai will stay for a while!"

"Yes!"

Watching everyone leave for training, Zongyan said to Mitsuya who stayed behind: "Senior, let's go, let's go and discuss the roster with Todoin-senpai!"

……

When Zong Yan came to the training ground again, the training of several members of the Neon team was almost completed.

After getting a full understanding of the strength of the team members from Byodoin and the strength of the opponents from Mitsugaya, Zongyan also had an idea of ​​the players in this points match after summarizing the two sides.

Seeing Duke Watanabe training alone with the help of a ball machine, Zongyan walked up.

"Duke-senpai, let's move a little bit." Saeki Munuhiko invited Duke.

"Okay, Zongyan, I've always wanted to compete with you!"

Duke nodded.

Zongyan's training with Duke attracted the interest of several members of the Neon team, but they discovered that the two were really just after training.

Others also started their usual multi-ball training on a nearby court.

However, although such a simple training did not attract the attention of everyone in the Neon Team, it did attract the attention of many passers-by and spectators.

Tennis is much more popular in Europe than in Asia, and many people are tennis enthusiasts.

But precisely because they are all fans, many people's eyes are full of shock.

The ten-goal training session conducted by Munuhiko Saeki and Duke Watanabe really caught their attention.

"That's... the Demon King from Neon!!"

At this time, a spectator recognized the news that the England U17 captain was defeated that had been published in the newspaper a few days ago.

Munehiko Saeki was heavily criticized in the news, describing him as a follower of Satan, an executioner, and the neon devil who was preparing to sweep Europe.

"Demon King?"

However, European audiences have always been subjectively arrogant towards non-white news. Although they were recognized, some viewers were not clear about it and looked at the speaker with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"He is the leader who led the Neon team to victory from England not long ago. Neon's most powerful genius in recent years, and one of the strongest talents in the world of tennis, Saeki Munuhiko."

Some people who knew Saeki Munuhiko introduced him to those around him.

"Oh! I know he is the junior high school student from the last U17 World Cup. He should still be a junior high school student now, right?"

"Yes, he is indeed a junior high school student. I heard that he is also called the strongest junior high school student together with our Zeus!"

"But now Zeus has become a high school student!"

"These neon people came to us, are they here to compete? If that's the case, then I'm going to have a look!"

The people around them were all familiar with their own country's teams, so when they saw the Neon team, they didn't have to work hard to guess why they were here.

At this time, the person who first recognized Zong Yan’s identity was still a little worried and said:

"I heard from the newspapers that Saeki Munuhiko's playing style is very cruel and domineering. Even if he wants to beg for mercy, he will not give any chance. This is why he is called the Devil."

"If they play against Greece U17, they won't play hard again, right?" Hearing this person's worries, these Greek spectators were also a little nervous. After a moment of silence, a final thought arose in their hearts.

"What are you afraid of? When the time comes, we will go cheer for the boys of the Greek team!"

"That's right!"

……

Of course, the comments from passers-by and onlookers did not attract any attention from Zong Yan, who was wholeheartedly immersed in sparring with Duke.

After a long time, Zongyan and Duke walked into the hotel together after training.

"Senior Yuezhi, please tell everyone to come to my room for a meeting later. Senior Duke and I will go and wash up first."

Zongyan, who had just gone upstairs, saw Yuezhi Yueguang who was playing games and said immediately.

After Yuezhi Yueguang heard Zongyan's words, he nodded, then threw away the game controller in his hand and walked out.

……

When Zongyan finished washing, everyone had gathered in his room.

Zong Yan did not waste everyone's rest time and directly began to arrange the list of personnel to play against the Greek team.

"Double No. [-] Yuuma Mutsu and Yuho Mutsu, you two brothers have to work hard."

From the information he received from Byodoin and Mitsuya, Munehiko estimated that their opponents might be difficult, but he still encouraged them.

"Yes!"

"Double No. [-], Ochi-senpai, Maori-senpai, just you two. I think you two will have a good compatibility. You want to open my eyes this time."

"Okay, don't worry Zongyan."

Ochi Moonlight and Mouri Jusaburo nodded.

"The position of singles three is very important, let me take it!"

Because it was against the Greek team, Zongyan knew very well that the probability of Zeus appearing in the singles three was very high, so he did his part, and then he looked at the other two.

"As for the No. [-] singles match, Fubo-senpai, Kimijima-senpai, and Duke-senpai, who among you three wants to play the No. [-] singles title?"

"Munehiko, I lost the match against England. Let's let Fuwa Ironman or Duke play the No. [-] singles position." Kimijima Ikuto said as if he had no desire.

"Okay, Kimijima-senpai's method is also in line with our intention of going on an expedition to improve everyone's strength. For now, let's let Duke-senpai take the No. [-] singles position."

"At that time, personnel can be replaced based on the actual situation."

Saeki Munuhiko nodded, and after confirming, he wrote the names of several people on the playing list.

"Although the Greek team is ranked tenth, their strength is not much different from the English team. This time they must win this game."

After completing the list, Saeki Munuhiko said to everyone very seriously.

Everyone also felt his determination.

"understand!"

……

three days later.

Panathinaikos Stadium in Athens.

As a country with a long history in Europe, this historic clay tennis court in Athens also faced the challenge of the neon crowd today.

Although it is just a small U17 World Cup points round-robin challenge.

However, the enthusiastic and sports-loving Athenian people still come here one after another, making the atmosphere of the stadium very strong.

As the venue and birthplace of the first Olympic Games, the sports and competition atmosphere here is very good, and there is no booing like in England.

Therefore, both the arrival of the Greek team and the appearance of the Neon team were welcomed by the audience.

However, because of the Neon team's reputation of continuously causing trouble in Europe.

Especially what happened in England not long ago, so there are not only ordinary spectators present today, but also players from other countries.
