Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The game was over, but the results were not good.

When the referee announced the end of the game, everyone in Fudo Mine couldn't help but cheer. They achieved their goal of becoming the national champion. Now Fudo Mine has become the new king!

After the results of the game came out, the people of Rikkai University looked extremely depressed but relieved. They lost to Fudo Mine again, and this time they lost more thoroughly.

Yukimura stared at the scoring screen of the game for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Sanada walked up to him and called Yukimura guiltily, and then he reacted.

"Sorry! Yukimura! I still lost. I didn't give Rikkai University the last chance!" Sanada lowered his head and said in an extremely annoyed tone.

"You have tried your best, Genichirō! We can only say that there is still a big gap between us and Fudomine. We can only train hard and challenge them again next year!" Yukimura has now accepted the outcome of failure, but he has not given up hope.

"I know, Yukimura! I will work harder in the future and will never slack off!" Sanada said firmly.

On the other side, the regulars of Fudomine have come to Akashi, and everyone has a smile on their face, even Tezuka and Akutsu are no exception. Recalling that they have never been favored by everyone, they have come all the way to the top position in the country today, and only they themselves know the efforts they have made.

At this time, the organizer also notified through the radio that the award ceremony will be held next. Kurobe Yukio and Oni in the audience have stood up and are ready to leave. Oni is going back to prepare for the overseas expedition, and Kurobe Yukio is going to report what he observed today to the head coach as soon as possible.

Irie and Mitsutaya were ready to say hello to Akashi and the others before leaving. Soon, the organizers set up the stage for the awards ceremony. In front of all the audience, the first people from Rikkai University came on stage to receive the runner-up medals and trophies.

Then the people from Fudomine walked onto the stage. Suddenly, many ribbons and salutes appeared around them, making the atmosphere very lively. After the atmosphere calmed down a little, the leaders of the organizers came forward and shook hands with everyone one by one, and then put on the championship medals and wreaths for everyone.

Finally, in the presence of all the audience, Akashi stood in the middle of the main candidates and held high the trophy that belonged to the champion of this year's national competition. All the media present also recorded this moment perfectly with their cameras.

While everyone was cheering and celebrating, Mitsutaya and Irie found Akashi and informed him of the decision of the International Tennis Association and the organizers of the world championship. Akashi was not surprised by this. He had expected it. If he was in Germany, perhaps the organizers would turn a blind eye, but unfortunately he was in Japan, which was ranked outside the top 30.

After informing Akashi about this, Mitsugaya and Irie also said goodbye to him and prepared to return to the U17 training camp. However, before leaving, Mitsugaya gave Akashi a small note with the contact information of U17 head coach Mifune, which was just handed over by Kurobe Yukio.

Akashi looked at the note in his hand and gradually had a new idea in his mind, but he still needed to contact Mifune to confirm before he could implement it. It was too early to think about it now.

For a whole day, the members of Fudo Mine were like crazy, singing and dancing, so happy, and Akashi didn't care about them. After all, Fudo Mine won the national championship, so today let them relax and have fun.

Yukimura, Atobe, Fuji and others found Akashi and asked if they would hold a training camp later. Akashi didn't answer immediately, but asked them to wait a few days. He had to confirm something first.

The next day, when everyone went home, Akashi took out Mifune's contact information and called that number. In fact, Akashi was a little confused before, because there didn't seem to be a phone in the place where Mifune stayed.

But not long after, Mifune's full-bodied voice came from the phone, and Akashi didn't think much about it. Anyway, there are so many unreasonable things in this world, why bother so much.

"Akashi boy! You contacted me so quickly, are you going to ask about the world competition?"

"I have heard about this matter, to be honest, it didn't surprise me. I came to you today to ask you a favor!" Akashi said politely.

"Oh? You kid can actually ask me something? Tell me!" Mifune said with some curiosity.

"That's right, I believe you also know that there are many talented players in our junior high school this year, so I want to take advantage of this holiday to send them to you

Let's train here!" Akashi directly stated his purpose.

"So it's this matter, no problem, even if you don't say it, I have this plan, but are you sure you want them to come to me? Instead of going to the training camp?" Mifune was a little curious, why did Akashi want to send people to him, you know, his back mountain is called hell by the people in the training camp.

"Yes, it's you. Although the training camp is the most scientific training method, I think it's not much help for them. On the contrary, your special training method may give them a different experience." Akashi said seriously.

"Well~ you have a good vision, so send them all over, how many people in total?" Mifune said with some satisfaction.

"A total of 30 people, so I'll trouble you, the head coach!" Akashi thought for a while and replied.

"There are quite a few people, okay! Anyway, you know the address, just bring them over! "Mifune agreed very readily.

Then the two exchanged a few pleasantries and hung up the phone. That's right, Akashi was not going to hold a training camp this time. He would directly send the players to the U17's back mountain hell. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a life-threatening training there.

In fact, Akashi had already discovered that the strength of Tezuka, Yukimura, and Kurasa had reached a bottleneck. Even with the perfect training method given by Akashi, it would take a long time to break through to the world level, so he planned to let them go to Mifune to try. Maybe this would stimulate the players' growth.

But before that, he had to let the people of Shitenhoji adapt for a few days. When they parted this morning, Akashi gave Watanabe Osamu the training method he had spent an afternoon to sort out. After Watanabe Osamu had a general look at it, he expressed his sincere gratitude to Akashi. Thanks very much.

In this way, a week passed, and Akashi felt that it was about time, so he contacted Banye, Taro Sakaki, Watanabe Osamu and Ryuzaki Sumire, and told them that they would send the players to U17 for training. Except for Watanabe Osamu who was a little surprised, the other three were more or less mentally prepared.

Ryuzaki Sumire has now completely let it go. Although she did not directly admit that her previous actions were wrong, she no longer restricted the growth of the first grade. Even when Akashi said that he would send Fuji and the others to U17, she readily agreed.

A day later, all the people selected by Akashi gathered together, got on the bus prepared by Akashi, and drove to the back mountain of U17. In the car, Shiraishi, Ishida Gin and Oshitari Ken also heard about the existence of U17 for the first time, so they were a little overwhelmed.

The others were very calm, They knew that Akashi had been to U17 before, and they probably thought that so many of them could go to U17 because of Akashi.

The people Akashi chose this time were: all the regulars of Fudomine except Akashi, all the regulars of Rikkai University, all the first-year students of Seigaku, all the first-year students of Hyotei, Sengoku, Minami, and Touhou of Yamabuki, and Tetsuya Hara, Shiraishi, Gin Ishida, and Kenya Oshita of Shitenhoji, a total of 30 people.

As for the others, if they are in the third year, they will probably be recruited into U17 after graduation. Akashi doesn't need to worry. The remaining talents are not that strong. I'm afraid they can't even make it to the No. 1 court. There is no point in going.

When the bus arrived at the foot of the nameless mountain, everyone followed Akashi out of the bus, including Tezuka. Everyone was unconsciously nervous now, but Akashi didn't waste time. He kept going. Then he led everyone to the back mountain.

After passing through the passage that Akashi had walked through before, Mifune's rude shouting and cursing came from the front again, which made everyone except Akashi startled, but seeing that Akashi did not stop, they could only follow him.

Finally, after everyone walked out of the cave, the scene in front of them shocked them. A group of high school students were lying on the ground in a mess, with scratches and bruises all over their bodies. It was no longer miserable.

Akashi ignored the shock of the crowd, smiled and walked up to greet Mifune. Seeing that everyone was there, Mifune waved his hand impatiently, indicating that Akashi could leave.

In other words, Akashi knew Mifune's character, otherwise he would definitely give him a light shot, but with Mifune's strength, I'm afraid he would not take the light shot seriously at all.

You know, in the original work, this guy was wearing wooden clogs and jumped from a helicopter and was still safe and sound. His physical fitness was definitely not much worse than that of the top-ranked professional players.

However, Akashi still whispered a few words to Mifune before leaving. Mifune pondered for a while after hearing Akashi's words, and then began to greet the new junior high school students. A miserable life was about to await them.

On the other side, Akashi returned along the original route and came to the training camp

Since the First Army is still on the expedition and has not returned, Akashi, the No. 3, can be said to be the boss of the training camp.

However, Tanedo is still in the training camp. His fear of flying already exists. Akashi has planned to try whether there are other ways to solve this problem. Otherwise, the expedition is a small matter, but if the ship delays the world competition, it will be a big deal. Although there is no lateness in the original book, who can say for sure now.

After that, the three coaches also came out to greet Akashi and let him move freely. He can do whatever he wants as long as he does not violate the principles of the training camp. This is a privilege given to the strong.

In the next half a month, Akashi was rarely free. Every day, he chatted with Tanedo, paid attention to the personnel changes in the No. 1 court, and asked about the situation of the junior high school students on the back mountain.

The training camp became lively only when Oni returned from overseas with members of the First Army, because everyone knew that a new round of First Army reshuffle was about to begin, and this was also an important factor in determining whether they could play in the World Championship.

At this time, on the back mountain, Mifune called all the junior high school students and two high school students to his front. These two high school students were Ito and Yamada. Since they were defeated by Akashi and Oni last time, they have been training in the back mountain.

Now they have become much more honest, and they have seen the situation clearly. They know that their senior class has completely lost, and they no longer have the right to speak in the training camp, so they did not provoke the junior high school students who came some time ago, just treating them as if they did not exist.

Mifune took out two U17 black uniform jackets that had been prepared long ago and threw them to Ito and Yamada, and told them to put on the jackets and go down the mountain to the training camp, and someone would tell them what to do.

After more than half a month of hard training, the temperament of all the junior high school students has changed a lot, especially Tezuka and Yukimura, who have already broken through to the half-step world level, but have not yet completely stabilized. Kurasaki also has signs of a breakthrough.

Although Mifune's training method is very dangerous, it can force out the accumulated potential of the players to the greatest extent in a short period of time, but the method is a bit rough, and it is easy to leave sequelae or hidden injuries if you are not careful.

Fortunately, Mifune is experienced and did not let the junior high school students have such side effects. Everyone packed their belongings very neatly, then came to a mound, dug out their rackets, and went down the mountain together.

Soon in the training camp, the battle for the last ten in the first army began. However, Tezuka and others were notified to wait temporarily after arriving at the training camp, and there would be special arrangements later. Ito and Yamada went directly to get the first army quota.

An hour later, the battle was over. The top ten of the first team did not change much, except for Ito and Yamada. Everyone knew that the top ten reshuffle tomorrow was the highlight, so they all went back to their dormitories to rest.

Even the junior high school students were arranged with dormitories in the training camp. It was not until now that they realized that the place they were staying before was not the U17 training camp at all, but this place. Atobe had already begun to complain about Akashi.

But having said that, in fact, everyone was very grateful to Akashi. After so much time in the back mountain, they also knew the identity of Mifune, the head coach of the U17 training camp. Akashi was able to send them directly to him for training, which was obviously a backdoor.

The next day, the atmosphere of the entire U17 training camp became hot again. Everyone was waiting to watch today's first team reshuffle. Even Tezuka and others came to the venue of the competition early.

At this time, the top ten of the first team finally appeared in front of everyone. The junior high school students were surprised to see the familiar figure standing in the No. 3 position.

Of course, they were not surprised that Akashi was in the top ten of the first team, but they were surprised that Akashi was only No. 3. How strong must the top two players be!

Unfortunately, they did not see the No. 1 Byodoin. That guy is still traveling around the world. There are also rumors that Byodoin was struck by lightning some time ago. No one knows whether it is true or not. Only Akashi knows that it is true. It seems that Byodoin has met Amadeus.

Soon the first team reshuffle began. The fierce competition opened the eyes of all the junior high school students, especially the game style of Tono Atsukyo, which made them unacceptable.

But Akashi told them that this is very common in the world. Many players will choose to deliberately hurt their opponents in order to achieve their goal of victory. The world is much more cruel than they imagined.

Akashi's words made Tezuka and others silent. Originally, in their opinion, Kurasa and Akutsu were cruel enough, but compared with Tono Atsukyo on the field now, they are obviously gentler.

More.

Soon the reshuffle ended, and Ito and Yamada finally made it into the top ten again. After all, their strength is there, but this time they are ranked No. 5 and No. 10, while Ochi and Irie dropped to No. 11 and No. 20.

Ochi was defeated by Ito, and everyone can be sure that Irie lost on purpose. The coach arranged for Yamada to play against him, and it is hard to say whether it was Irie's initiative.

It is also worth mentioning that the opponents of No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 all gave up the challenge, especially the opponents of Oni and Akashi. When they gave up, their voices trembled a little, as if the opponent was a prehistoric monster.

In this way, except for Akashi, all the candidates for the French World Championship this time have been determined. Although the list has been submitted before, it is only a list of 30 people, and many people actually have no chance to play.
