Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

After that, Akashi led the junior high school students to familiarize themselves with many matters of the training camp. Speaking of which, the status of these junior high school students in the training camp is very special. They are not recruited by the training camp, so they do not have to go through the rules of the shuffle battle, but they can enjoy the treatment of the training camp.

This was actually decided by the three coaches together, so as to let them get familiar with it in advance. This group of people is likely to become an important force in the next world competition.

Although the training camp will not arrange shuffle battles for junior high school students, Akashi will let them find some No. 1 courts, or even members of the first team to play games. The people of the first team did not refuse, and they also knew that these players are very talented.

Some even took the initiative to find them to compete. For example, Oni directly pulled Akutsu to play a game because Oni felt that Akutsu had the shadow of Byodoin, so he wanted to see what he was like. However, Akashi thought that Oni just wanted to teach Akutsu a lesson.

Also, Irie found Atobe. He had noticed Atobe's vision in the previous national competition, which was very consistent with his style. It is worth mentioning that after Ochi knew that Atobe led Hyotei to the national semi-finals again, he rarely said some encouraging words.

Yukimura, at Akashi's suggestion, found Omagari Ryuji to ask about the two-sword style. Tachibana Kihei and Chitose went to play a doubles match with the Mutsu brothers. Their beast synchronization inspired the Mutsu brothers.

Niou was asked by Saito Shi to give him some special training. After all, although Niou has special abilities, his mental power is completely inferior to Yukimura, not to mention Akashi, so the top priority is to strengthen the development of mental power.

Fuji found Taneshima, because Akashi suggested that he try Taneshima's Annihilation. Fuji's Mayfly Shroud, Akashi felt that there was still room for improvement. If the power could be close to Annihilation, it would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap for Fuji.

Taneshima Shuji's Annihilation

Kute unexpectedly got along well with Kimijima Ikuto. Could it be because in another time and space, the two of them had tricked Tono Atsuki together? Akashi thought a little strangely.

Tezuka and Kurasa also formed a doubles team at Akashi's suggestion, and found Suzuki Kiyoshi and Gobi Ischa to play a training match. Akashi's idea was obvious, that is, to see if they could resonate with new moves. Of course, Infinite Tornado could not do it with their strength.

But as long as they could resonate, it would be helpful for Tezuka to develop the Supreme Domain or enhance Kurasa's Whirlpool Baptism, but it might be hard for Suzuki Kiyoshi and Gobi Ischa.

Date Man was very satisfied with Ishida Gin, and even used his own experience to correct some of Ishida Gin's mistakes in the wave ball, reducing the side effects of the wave ball.

Kenya Oshiro was communicating with Kaji Fudo about speed. In fact, it is best to ask Ito and Yamada for strength and speed. Unfortunately, although they no longer bother the lower grades, they will not care about the life and death of junior high school students.

Shiraishi worked hard to practice the basics with Nakagawa Naikawa Domichi. There was no other way. In the entire training camp, only Nakagawa Naikawa Domichi had the most accurate grasp of the movements, which made Shiraishi's basic tennis perfect. Some small movements could not escape Nakagawa Naikawa Domichi's eyes.

There was one thing that was beyond Akashi's expectations, that was Akutagawa Jiro. Originally, he had no way to train well because of narcolepsy. This time in Mifune, he was in trouble, because Mifune specially arranged two eagles to stare at him. If there was a tendency to sleep, the eagle would bite him.

In this situation, Jiro's strength improved the fastest among the crowd. Now he has already reached the half-step national level. This also allowed Atobe to find a way to deal with Jiro. It is estimated that Jiro's life will not be easy after returning.

In this way, the junior high school students gradually integrated into the entire training camp, and the date of the French U17 World Championship was slowly approaching. Soon Taneshima took the lead. After all, he went by boat, which must be much slower than everyone else.

After a while, all the first army had to set off for France. Since Akashi could not participate in the competition, Mifune specially found a few people from the No. 1 stadium to make up the number.

Speaking of Akashi's inability to participate in the competition, Mifune was extremely unhappy, because in addition to Akashi, he also found another monster, not Tezuka or Yukimura, but Akutsu!

Because when he was in the back mountain, Akutsu actually comprehended Shura on his own according to the method provided by Akashi.

Even Mifune was stunned. Akutsu's strength has also improved by leaps and bounds. Now he is no longer inferior to Kurasa. He is worthy of being one of the most talented duo in the original work.

After the army left, Akashi also arranged a large private plane to go to France with the junior high school students. Although they could not participate in the competition, it was a good thing for them to see the excitement and cruelty of the world in advance.

In fact, Akashi went to France not only to watch the world game this time, but also wanted to try to change the incident of Byodoin's injury. Although this may lead to Watanabe not coming to the Neon team, Neon is likely to enter the semi-finals or even the finals this time, but it is unlikely to win the German team.

The current Byodoin will definitely not be the opponent of the philosopher Polk. In addition, the German team has always had many professional players in the U17, and the ghosts are not able to compete with professional players now.

However, Akashi had no idea whether it could be changed. The original book did not specify the specific day when the incident happened. Moreover, after the game started, he could not keep an eye on Byodoin Temple 24 hours a day. There was no branch of Akashi Group in France, which gave Akashi a headache. He could only take it one step at a time.

After everyone arrived in France, they went to the hotel to rest. Akashi had sent someone to book a hotel a long time ago. You should know that hotels are very difficult to find during the World Championships, and they are basically full.

There was no exhibition match arranged for this French U17 World Championship. After all, in the original book, because of the participation of junior high school students, the organizers thought of holding an exhibition match to let everyone see the strength of junior high school students.

After playing in France for a few days, the World Championship finally officially opened. Taneshima finally arrived in France on the last night before the game, which made Mifune breathe a sigh of relief.

Akashi ordered a whole set of World Championship tickets this time, all of which were front-row seats, and could watch any game of the World Championship. On the day he arrived in France, Akashi gave tickets to everyone.

I don't know if it's because there's no Oishi among the Japanese participants this time, so the countries that are grouped with Japan in the group stage are relatively average, and there's no particularly strong one.

In this group stage, the Japanese team is divided into three teams, Song, Zhu, and Mei, just like the original. Each team is responsible for competing with a country. As long as they can get the top two in the group stage, they can advance to the top 16 and participate in the subsequent knockout rounds. The three groups are led by Byodoin, Oni, and Tanejima.

However, what made Akashi speechless was that he originally thought that Oni looked old enough and Byodoin was still normal now, but when he saw one of the members of the Greek team at the opening ceremony, he couldn't help it. He remembered that this person also appeared in the original work. With that thick beard, he looked like a middle-aged man.

Greek team players

The countries that are grouped with Japan this time are Sweden, Mexico, and Croatia, which are basically countries outside the top 20. To be honest, Japan's ranking in the world this year is 31st, and it almost doesn't even qualify for the world championship.

In the group stage, the strength shown by the Neon team shocked all the audience. They won the first place in the group with a record of 3 wins in the group stage, and Mexico and Croatia were eliminated.

These games also gave the junior high school students a preliminary understanding of the world. They had never even heard of the tricks used by many players. Akashi didn't care much about this. His main focus was on Byodoin.

In fact, Byodoin was not too surprised or angry when he learned that the No. 3 of the first army was taken by a junior high school student. The current Byodoin has not changed its temperament, but he was a little upset that the opponent could not participate in the competition due to age issues.

In the words of Byodoin: Being able to beat Ito, a waste, is also considered to be a bit of strength. It would be fine if they just lied about the age issue. The coaches are really stubborn.

But he didn't think about it. How could the International Tennis Association be so easy to fool? If it was exposed, the Neon Tennis Association would not look good. There might be punishment. If it was a fine, it would be fine. If it was a point deduction, then it would really be GG.

It is also worth mentioning that Akashi paid special attention to the US team this time and found that their participants were a bit strange. There were almost no senior high school players. All of them were freshmen, led by Ralph Reinhardt and Alan Hopkins. Apart from these two, Akashi could only recognize Dudu Obondu.

Something must have happened inside the US team. It is estimated that it is similar to the previous situation of the Japanese team. It seems that the so-called free country is not so free.

After the Japanese team entered the top 16, their first round of knockout opponents were Denmark. It is worth mentioning here that the group stage matches were all one

The final was the same as the junior high school match, but in the knockout round, the match was a best-of-three match.

This time, Mifune was probably determined to get a higher ranking. In this match, the singles three player was a demon. The Danish player on the opposite side was no match at all and was almost defeated by the demon.

The doubles two match was also arranged between Taneshima and Irie. Irie, who participated in the world championship for the first time, did not do anything weird this time. He knew the importance of this, but the opponent in this match was not strong, so Irie's true strength was still not seen.

Neon led Denmark 2-0 directly, which surprised all the audience present. Originally, in their impression, Neon's tennis was useless except for Echizen Nanjiro.

In the singles match, Mifune did not let Byodoin play. After all, this is the trump card and cannot be exposed too early. He arranged for Ito to play. Ito is a half-step world-class player and is very close to the world-class, so in the end he won the game with a total score of 2-1.

So far, the Neon team has swept the Danish team 3-0, which made other participating teams pay attention to the Neon team for the first time. However, after seeing the opponent of the Neon team in the next round, they all put their minds at ease, because the opponent of the Neon team in the next round is the French team at the semi-final level!

In the previous world championships, there are four countries that belong to the unique existence, that is, Germany, Switzerland, France and Spain, among which Germany's strength is far superior to the other three countries.

No one thinks that the Neon team can cross the French team. Their elimination is already doomed, but it is a good dark horse to enter the quarterfinals.

Akashi is now a little anxious, because the next game between Neon and France means that Byodoin will be injured because of saving people during this period.

So there was no other way, Akashi could only find Mifune, and made up a reason to ask Mifune to tell him the whereabouts of Byodoin. Although Mifune was a little confused, he didn't think much about it and agreed.

On this day, Mifune informed Akashi that Byodoin had left the players' rest area, saying that he was going out for a walk and buying some rice balls. Akashi immediately started to check. You know, it's not easy to buy rice balls in France. Only a few fixed stores sell them.

Soon he found the store closest to the players' park and rushed out immediately. As long as he could change the incident of Byodoin's injury, even the French team would probably lose this time.

However, the gears of fate are sometimes very strange. Just as Akashi was rushing to the store, he was stopped by a group of gangsters. Akashi had no intention of getting entangled with them.

After the communication failed, he took out the racket and tennis ball and hit the ball directly at the group of people. Suddenly, the gangsters were scared and wished they had more legs.

Just when the tennis ball was about to hit a few people, a racket intercepted the powerful light shot and bound the kinetic energy of the tennis ball, preventing it from hurting the running hooligans.

When Akashi saw the person coming, he narrowed his eyes and his expression became extremely cold, because he knew that he might not be able to get away for the time being.

There were two people standing opposite Akashi, one of whom was the American team representative Ralph Reinhardt mentioned earlier, and the other was the guy who blocked Akashi's light shot, a person Akashi was very familiar with, that was Echizen Ryoma's brother - Echizen Ryoma!

Ralph Reinhardt

Echizen Ryoma

The appearance of these two people was completely beyond Akashi's expectations, and it seemed that those gangsters seemed to be their people. Akashi stared at the two people with cold eyes and said in an extremely cold tone:

"Please make way, you are blocking my way!"

Reinhardt shrugged and made way directly, but Echizen Ryoma did not move. He held the racket in one hand and the orange in the other hand, and said in a frivolous tone:

"That won't do. Although those guys just now were not good people, they are my partners anyway. It's a bit too much for you to just hit them with the ball!"

"You mean cooperation is robbery and extortion in the street?" Akashi's tone became more and more unfriendly.

"I'm sorry about this, but you look like a Japanese tennis player. Why don't we use tennis to solve this matter, what do you think?" Echizen Ryoma said with a smile.

"I don't have time to play with you now, Echizen Ryouga!" Akashi lost control of his emotions for a rare time and called out Ryouga's name unconsciously.

Ryouga's expression became subtle, and he began to look at the boy in front of him. He was sure that he didn't know this boy, but the other party could call out his name.

Long Ya became more interested.

"I think this is the first time we meet, right? How do you know my name, boy?"

"Because my name is Akashi Seijuro. If you don't know, go back and ask your father Nanjiro! Now get out of my way!" Akashi's body was gradually rising with a layer of fluctuations from another dimension.

Long Ya was stunned when he heard Akashi's words, and then he also sensed the fluctuations of Akashi's breath. In the end, he hesitated for a while and stepped aside to make way. Akashi ignored him and ran directly to his destination.

"Long Ya, what did the boy mean just now?" Reinhard asked in confusion.

"I don't know either, but it seems to be related to our old man. I'll make a phone call later." Long Ya said indifferently, and then looked at the gangsters with a bad expression.

On the other side, just when Akashi was about to reach his destination, there was a loud noise in front of him, and then the crowd began to riot. Akashi cursed inwardly and then rushed forward with all his strength.

When Akashi separated the crowd, he saw a huge billboard lying on the ground. There were two people under the billboard, one was Byodoin, and the other was a little girl who looked only 7-8 years old.

"Are you still late? Echizen Ryuga! I'll remember you!" Akashi roared in a low voice with some anger, and then hurriedly called on the crowd to help.

At this time, a big man ran over in a hurry, shouting Chloe in his mouth. Akashi immediately recognized him as the King of Destruction Duke Watanabe, and quickly directed him to help save people.

King of Destruction - Duke Watanabe

With Duke's participation, everyone quickly lifted the billboard, and Duke's sister Chloe was not hurt because of the protection of Byodoin. On the contrary, Byodoin's clothes on his back were soaked with blood.

Someone nearby immediately called an ambulance, and Akashi hurriedly took out his cell phone to inform Mifune of what happened at the scene. The ambulance arrived at the scene quickly, and Byodoin was carried on the ambulance. Duke and his sister Chloe accompanied him to the hospital.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him at the scene, Akashi had to go back to the hotel first. He was not a player, so he could not enter the player park. This time, he failed to save Byodoin, which made Akashi realize a serious problem.

Although he was familiar with the plot, he was just an ordinary person, not an omnipotent god. It was impossible for everything to develop according to his own ideas. Akashi gradually forgot this important issue because he had been smooth sailing all the time.

Now we can only hope that Byodoin's injury is not as serious as in the original work, otherwise the Neon team may still follow the original trajectory and be eliminated in the quarterfinals.
