Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

June 13th.

The highly anticipated Kanto Tournament, Kansai Tournament, Chubu Tournament, Tohoku Tournament, Hokuriku Tournament, and Sanyo and Sanin Regional Tournament in Japan finally kicked off.

Tokyo Metropolitan Green Forest Tennis Park.

This is the venue for the Kanto Tournament.

Compared with the regional qualifiers and prefectural tournaments, the number of spectators at the Kanto Tournament is far more than several times the former.

Even though the game has not yet started and all participating teams have not arrived.

But the stadium is already crowded.

And this result is not only due to the size of the event.

It is also due to a series of changes in the Japanese junior high school tennis world before, and the strong coverage of a group of junior high school players by "Tennis Monthly".

Of course.

Among them, the most popular and concerned is Kitagawa of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

At this moment.

At the entrance of the stadium.

Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori are constantly shooting materials.

But it is worth mentioning that.

Shiba Saori's outfit clearly looks like she's wearing a cheering uniform.

"Senior Inoue, do you think Rikkai University will win the Kanto Championship for the 16th time in a row?"

After taking almost all the photos, Shiba Saori put down the camera in her hand, looked around for something, and asked Inoue Mamoru.

Hearing this,

"Rikkai University has a high chance of winning."

"But the representative teams of several schools, such as Seishun Gakuen, which works hard and has the Son of a Samurai, Hyotei Academy, which inherits the Hyotei spirit of predecessors such as Ochi Gekko, and Yamabuki Junior High School, which makes up for its shortcomings, are also popular teams in this Kanto competition."

"In addition, these schools have received heavy capital investment."

"Besides, let alone competitive sports competitions, any competition may have unexpected events, such as an invincible existence suddenly unable to participate, etc."

"So, no one can make a conclusion before the final result comes out."

"Saori, as a reporter, should stand on the neutral side, but now you are almost becoming Rikkai University's cheerleading team."

Inoue Mamoru looked at the time and then spoke to Shiba Saori.

"But, isn't it because of the idol Son of a Samurai that Senior Inoue is slightly biased towards Seishun Gakuen?"

Shiba Saori pursed her lips and asked back with some dissatisfaction.

"......"

Inoue Mamoru was slightly startled.

He was speechless for a moment, and then he continued to take pictures with his camera.

Obviously, Shiba Saori's words also made him realize his problem.

It was about nine o'clock in the morning.

The 16 private junior high school teams participating in the Kanto Competition also arrived one after another.

"Next will be the opening ceremony of this year's junior high school Kanto Competition."

"Please enter the participating teams!"

After a broadcast sounded.

The audience who were originally talking about it gradually quieted down.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the entrance of the stadium.

The next moment.

Tap tap tap...

A neat sound of footsteps came from it.

Immediately afterwards.

A dashing team wearing yellow base and black and white stripes gradually walked out of the shadows.

Although there was no movement, just walking forward quietly gave people a sense of the momentum of the king's team.

The handsome and sunny Kitagawa was in the lead, followed by Yukimura Seiichi wearing a coat and a gentle smile, Sanada Genichirō wearing a black baseball cap and others.

"Rikkai University! Rikkai University! Rikkai University!"

"The king of Rikkai University, the Sixteen Hegemons of Kanto!"

"Kitagawa, Kitagawa, invincible!!!"

In an instant.

Cheers, screams, and shouts from different formations came one after another.

In an instant, they echoed throughout the entire stadium.

Among them, the voices of girls were the most obvious and there were many of them.

The most important thing is that some of them came from the girls' formation wearing the school uniforms of Seishun Gakuen.

"Ahhhh! Sakurano, Kitagawa is so handsome!"

"His smile makes me feel like I'm melting~"

Tomoka Kosakata, holding a cheering flag, was so excited.

"Tomoka, don't be like this."

"You're really scary like this, don't scare Kitagawa!"

Ryuuzaki Sakuno, who was standing beside her, said in a slightly reserved voice.

But she didn't put down the cheering flag in her hand at all.

"Are you really students of Seigakuen?"

"Instead of cheering for your own team, you cheer for your opponent."

On the side of the aisle, the Fudomine Academy cheerleading team.

Tachibana An complained speechlessly.

"Then don't look at Kitagawa-chan!"

Tomoka Kosakata rolled her eyes.A sharp retort.

In an instant.

Kichi An immediately shut up.

After all, she was indeed looking at Kitagawa.

She even thought that he was handsome.

In fact.

This situation did not only occur in Seigakuen and Fudomine Academy.

It was the case in many schools.

"She is such a beautiful girl that no one can match!"

"Even if she didn't play tennis, she could have debuted right here."

Glancing at Shiba Saori, who was like the leader of the fans, Inoue Mamoru couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment.

The people of the Jounari Shonan team came in.

Compared to the people of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School.

The players of this team gave people a gloomy feeling.

Everyone stared at the people of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School walking in front of them.

It was as if there was some grudge.

Of course, because many people's eyes were still on Rikkai University or even Kitagawa.

Instead, they didn't notice this.

Until the teams of Yamabuki Junior High School, Seishun Gakuen, Hyotei Academy and others entered the stadium.

Some cheering and shouting began to sound in the audience seats.

As soon as they showed their heads, they were suppressed by the large cheering group of Rikkai University.

Not long after.

All 16 teams entered the stadium.

The four seeded teams were in front, and the rest of the teams were in the back, standing in four rows in the center of the stadium.

"Junior Kitagawa, why don't you debut directly?"

Chigoku Kiyomi, who was standing aside, said to Kitagawa with a bitter face.

Obviously, he was a little envious.

"Then it's not your turn to be the focus."

Atobe Keigo, whose hair was a little longer, said confidently.

As if he was exuding his own charm.

"This is not a debut selection stage."

"It's really too lax!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu said solemnly, adjusting his glasses with his slender fingers.

"......"

Looking at the people who were paying attention to something strange, Kitagawa was really a bit amused.

"Tsk!"

"Who knows if he really looks like that, or if he had plastic surgery?"

"Even if it's true, he will probably be a gigolo kept by an old, perverted woman in the future."

"It's really funny that such a kid who has been wanting to be a gigolo since he was a child was chosen as the tennis captain and coach."

Just then.

A sarcastic and mocking voice came from the Jounari Shonan team behind the Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School team.

Everyone looked back.

Only to see a teenager with orange hair, a backwards hat, and narrow eyes looking at Kitagawa with a sneer on his face.

As for Kajimoto Takahisa, who was standing in front of the team, he looked ahead with a melancholy expression, and had no intention of stopping it at all.

It was as if he tacitly agreed to what Wakato Hiroshi said.
