Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

The days passed by like this.

Although there were some minor incidents occasionally.

But for the regular players of the tennis club of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, it did not have much impact.

In a blink of an eye.

The day of the Kanto Tournament group draw has arrived.

However, because the champions of the Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament, the champions and runners-up of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament, and the champions of the Chiba Prefecture Tournament were selected as seed teams.

So there is no need to draw lots.

Even so.

The representative teams of each private junior high school still sent people to the venue.

First, they can know the final grouping of the Kanto Tournament in the first place.

Second, they can also collect some potentially useful information.

At this moment.

The venue of the draw and grouping ceremony of the Neon National Junior High School Kanto Tournament.

"Abei~"

"Why did Sanada-senpai and Yukimura-senpai both recommend me to accompany you here?"

"Are they secretly rolling up their sleeves again?"

"Or do they think I have the potential to be a vice-minister?!"

Kirihara Akaya, who accompanied Kitagawa to draw lots, put his hands behind his head and asked curiously while walking forward.

When he mentioned the vice-minister, his eyes suddenly turned into stars.

It can be seen how much he is looking forward to it.

After all, it stands to reason.

Even if there is no need to draw lots, just come to see the results, the minister and vice-minister should be dispatched.

"Hehe..."

Kitagawa smiled but did not answer Kirihara Akaya's question.

After all, the fact is this fact.

Because whether it is Sanada Genichiro, Yukimura Seiichi, or Yanagi Renji, they are already in the third grade of junior high school.

They will be promoted to the high school department next year.

So everyone tacitly wants to cultivate Kirihara Akaya.

As for Niou Masaharu, he had no interest in who would be the vice-chairman of the tennis club.

Instead, he was looking forward to how Kirihara Akaya would play with him when he became the vice-chairman.

Just at this moment.

"Oh~!"

"We are destined to meet."

"Junior Kitagawa from Rikkai University."

Two familiar figures came from a distance.

On the left was the smiling Chigoku Kiyomizu, and on the right was the slightly dull Minami Kentaro.

"This is our first meeting."

Kitagawa looked at Chigoku Kiyomizu with a smile and asked softly.

"It is indeed the first time we have talked face to face."

"But thanks to you, Akatsuki has finally integrated into the Yamabuki Junior High School Tennis Club."

"Although I still beat my companions sometimes~"

Looking at Kitagawa meaningfully, Chigoku Kiyomizu deliberately emphasized the name Akatsuki.

"Sengoku."

"You asked for it?"

"You had to show the love letters that those girls sent to Akutsu in front of him."

"Are you jealous?"

Minami Kentaro revealed the truth in the next moment.

Sengoku Kiyomizu was stunned.

"Junior Kitagawa, long time no see."

Just when he was about to argue.

Two voices came from the side.

Looking back, I saw Tachibana Kippei and Kamio Akira from Fudo Academy and Saeki Torajiro and Aoi Kentaro from Rokkaku Junior High School coming over.

Hearing this.

Kitagawa nodded and greeted.

Then he took Kirihara Akaya to the venue of the lottery grouping ceremony.

Not long after.

When everyone entered the venue.

Many representatives of private junior high schools who came here early have already taken their seats.

You know.

This year's Kanto Tournament saw 16 private junior high school teams from Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, and Kanagawa in the Kanto region.

Including Tokyo's Seigakuen, Hyotei, Yamabuki, Fudomine, and St. Rudolph;

Saitama's Midoriya Junior High School and Jounari Shonan; Chiba's Rokkaku Junior High School and Shorin Junior High School;

Ibaraki's Meishikari and Isesha; Gunma's Oguchiminami and Gunma Daiichi Junior High School; Tochigi's Kyōyo;

Kanagawa's Aihara Daiichi Junior High School and Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

The moment Kitagawa and Kirihara Akaya walked into the venue.

The eyes of the school representatives waiting in their seats were focused on them.

You know.

In the two years before this, Genichirō Sanada and Seiichi Yukimura attended the Kanto Tournament draw ceremony.

But this year, it was Kitagawa and Kirihara Akaya.

People are surprised.

"The atmosphere this year is really a bit weird!"

"Nonsense! The tennis captain of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, which won the Kanto Championship for 15 consecutive years and the national championship for two consecutive years, was suddenly replaced by a first-year junior high school student.I don't care! "

"Huh? Why do the people from Kanagawa Aihara First Junior High School look so miserable? Is this first-year junior high school student scary?"

"......"

You can say that.

The powerful posture of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School has not been weakened at all because Kitagawa is a first-year junior high school student.

Instead, it has become even stronger than before.

"Is he Kitagawa? "

Takahisa Kajimoto, the captain of the Shonan Tennis Club, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly became serious.

And Reiji Kamishiro, who was sitting next to him, looked at Kitagawa with a murderous look on his face.

As if they had a huge grudge against each other before.

Looking at the people who were talking.

Kitagawa smiled brightly.

Then he prepared to find a place to sit with Kirihara Akaya.

Tap tap...

The next moment.

Body of footsteps came from outside the door.

He turned around subconsciously and looked back.

I saw the expressionless Kunimitsu Tezuka and Shuichiro Oishi walking in.

The moment he saw Kitagawa.

A breath like an emperor suddenly burst out.

The slender fingers adjusted the glasses, and the eyes under the lenses flashed a different look.

There was expectation, fighting spirit, and even a sense of mutual appreciation.

But compared with the first two, the latter was imperceptible.

"Tezuka. ”

“Please don’t stand at the door, okay?”

“I, the one who is the center of attention, will make a grand appearance~!”

Before Tezuka Kunimitsu and Kitagawa could speak.

Behind them, a confident and slightly second-year voice sounded.

Then.

Atobe Keigo, with his 3mm short hair, turned around gracefully, raised his hand, and snapped his fingers at Tezuka Kunimitsu.

But the next moment.

Atobe Keigo, who was still in high spirits the previous second, saw Kitagawa with a smile on his face.

The whole person inexplicably had the urge to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

“Senior Tezuka, Senior Atobe.”

“Long time no see~!”

The sunny smile on Kitagawa’s face did not diminish but increased.
