Net King: Starting from Li Hai as a substitute

Chapter 117: Fighting for the Kanto Competition
In the end, Lin Xiu defeated Nan with a score of 6-2, locking in a main selection seat in Group D in advance.

The next day, Nan and Keith played another game, ultimately losing 6-0 and missing out on a spot in Group D.

The last game of Group D was between Keith and Lin Xiu.

In this game, although Keith did not use the unique trick of gravity, he still defeated Lin Xiu 7-5 in the end and became No. 1 in Group D.

It was also after watching this game that everyone truly saw the strength of Keith and Lin Xiu that was completely superior to ordinary people. Perhaps only Izumi Amamiya and Akutsu could match them, and Sengoku was even worse.

With such strong strength coupled with their low-key and humble personalities, everyone in Yamabuki quickly recognized and accepted Keith and Lin Xiu, and everyone got along very harmoniously.

After the first round of the main draw, the first and second place finishers in each group automatically become the main draw.

However, in the second round, Minami challenged Kazuma Kita and won with a score of 6-3, replacing him and regaining the main seat.

This made Kita Kazuma feel like crying: The fire at the city gate really affected the fish in the pond!
As for the others in the second round of the challenge, they failed to defeat the other main players and had to settle for the second team.

At this point, Yamabuki's main selection competition has come to a perfect conclusion. The main selection players selected are as follows:
Izumi Amamiya, Akutsujin, Keith, Hayashi, Seishumi Sengoku, Kentaro Minami, Masami Higashikata, and Midakichi Shinto.

And this is also Yamabuki's final roster for the Kanto Tournament.

Amamiya Izumi glanced at the list, turned to look in the direction of Kanagawa, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of ambition and expectation.

"Now, I should be able to compete with Tatekai Dai!"

……

Half a month later, the Kanto Competition begins.

The lottery location and venue are still the same as last year, and they are also held in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Originally, according to convention, the annual Kanto Competition should be held in the area where the champion is located, which is Kanagawa Prefecture.

However, the organizers of the Kanto Competition took into consideration that Tokyo is the economic and cultural center of neon. In order to attract more audiences and continue to expand Tokyo’s reputation, the Kanto Competition has been held here since a long time ago. .

Even if Rikkai Dai wins the Kanto championship for more than ten consecutive years, he cannot change this.

But the national competition is different. After all, there is still a difference between the national championship and the regional championship.

Holding the annual national competition in the region where last year's champion was located is the highest reward for the national champion and the greatest honor that can inspire major schools to strive forward.

For example, last year's national competition was held in Hyogo Prefecture, where Makinofuji is located, and this year's national competition is held in Kanagawa Prefecture, where Tatekai University is located.

The draw of the Kanto competition this time was not as harmonious as before. After a year of training, the strength of each major school has been greatly improved. They are all eyeing the throne of Kanto hegemony that has been against Haida for more than ten years. The venue for the draw is full of strong emotions. The smell of gunpowder.

But after Yamabuki representatives Amamiya Izumi and Minami Kentaro entered the venue, this depressing atmosphere disappeared instantly.

"Amamiya! You are finally here!"

Marui jumped up from his seat, crossed the steps in three steps and ran to Amamiya Izumi's side. He put his arm around Amamiya Izumi's neck intimately and said, "I followed Yukimura and the others to Tokyo in advance this time. The purpose of drawing lots is for you to treat me to dinner, so you are not allowed to default on the payment this time!"

Amamiya Izumi smiled and rubbed Marui's head, and replied: "Of course I won't default on your debt. You finally come to Tokyo, so I will definitely treat you to a good meal."

Then he focused his attention on Yukimura and Sanada, who were walking slowly towards this side, "So are Yukimura and Sanada."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Sanada said, lowering the brim of his hat.

"But if we only invite the three of us to dinner, Niou and Yanagi will be unhappy when they find out, right?" Yukimura smiled gently. "It's okay. After the Kanto Tournament is over, we will have plenty of time to have dinner together, and you can also invite the lovely Kirihara-kun, what do you think? Sanada?" Amamiya Izumi said pointedly.

After hearing this, Sanada suddenly remembered some bad memories, his face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly and said, "You can invite him to dinner, too."

"Of course I am willing. After all, I also want to see what the super rookie Rikkai who can single-handedly break into Yamabuki is like. Sanada, you must have taught that kid, right? I feel like you are in the first grade It looked exactly like him at the time.”

"Nonsense, I wasn't as stupid as that kid Akaya when I was in first grade!"

"If you don't believe me, ask Yukimura."

"Speaking of which, Akaya is indeed similar to you, Genichiro, in some aspects." Yukimura narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Look, I'll tell you."

"Yukimura, you even said that?!" Sanada's eyes widened.

……

When other schools saw the friendly and harmonious exchanges between Amamiya Izumi and Tatekai, their jaws dropped.

"Izumi Amamiya, the director of Tokyo Champion Yamabuki Middle School, actually has such a good relationship with someone from Tatekai University?"

"Nonsense, I used to be Li Hai's main candidate. Don't you even know this?"

"Of course I know, but it's rare that we can still maintain such a good relationship even though we have become rivals, isn't it?"

However, everyone's shock and the exchange between Amamiya Izumi and Yukimura did not last long, because the lottery was about to begin.

Although all major schools are thinking about overthrowing Rikkai University's rule in the Kanto region, no one wants to encounter Rikkai University at the beginning when it comes to drawing lots.

After all, Rikkai University has retained most of last year's championship lineup this year, and its strength is only stronger than last year.

This year's draw rules are the same as in previous years, with sixteen schools divided into four groups.

Group A: Lihai University Affiliated High School, Green Mountain Middle School...

Group B: Youth Academy, Jiaoyang Middle School...

Group C: Hyotei Academy, Rokkaku Middle School...

Group D: Yamabuki Middle School, Josei Shonan...

There were no surprises in this year's draw. The four strong schools, Rikkai University, Seigaku, Hyotei and Yamabuki, were all divided into different halves, which effectively prevented some strong schools from being eliminated early and missing out on the national competition. embarrassing situation.

Even Hyotei's fortune is still a little bad, and he is still in the same group as last year's Kanto top four Rokkaku, but I think Hyotei, who has greatly increased his strength this year, will not be afraid of Rokkaku Middle School.

These four schools all swept their opponents cleanly in the first round.

By the second round, the opponents they encountered had become much stronger.

Yamabuki's opponent in the second round was Josei Shonan, led by Aoi Hanamura, who had recruited Izumi Amamiya.
