Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

The next day, at nine in the morning.

In the Midori Tennis Park in Tokyo.

The Kanto Tournament semifinals are about to begin.

At this moment.

The audience seats are packed.

So many people are standing at the back, crowding in and looking out.

It is no exaggeration to say.

This is definitely the largest audience in the history of the Neon Kanto Tournament.

"The Hyotei Academy team vs. the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team. I wonder if the new emperor will be better or the old king will be remembered forever?"

"To be honest, Rikkai University now has a king, three giants, and four elites. I really can't think they will lose."

"We can't underestimate Hyotei. In terms of the number of tennis club members, Hyotei and Rikkai University are definitely the most numerous private junior high schools in Japan. In addition, Hyotei has many resources. Even if it didn't compete with Rikkai University in the past two years, it can't be said that Hyotei is not strong this year."

"Yes! As for the second round of the Kanto Tournament, the Hyotei Academy team finished the game the fastest."

"......"

Among the crowds of people, discussions were heard one after another.

Some people were optimistic about Hyotei Academy, and some were optimistic about Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School.

But in comparison, the latter was obviously better.

And in this noisy and bustling arena, a uniform sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the arena.

It was as if a strong army was about to appear.

All the sounds stopped abruptly as if the pause button was pressed.

Tap tap tap...

The next moment.

Facing the morning sun, the Hyotei Academy team walked in under the leadership of Atobe Keigo.

Although his hair has grown a little now, he looks like a buzz cut.

However.

Instead, he looks more masculine.

In the audience.

"Hyotei is more than a little stronger than the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament!"

"If they were like a group of proud middle school teenagers before, now they are like an iron-blooded army under military management."

Inoue Mamoru exclaimed.

At the same time, he quickly picked up the camera and took pictures.

"Iron-blooded army?"

"I wonder what kind of sparks will collide when facing the king's army?"

Shiba Saori said softly with a serious face and muttered to herself.

After such a long period of experience, she has gradually adapted to the job of a reporter.

She no longer makes hasty conclusions based on her own preferences as before.

For this change.

Inoue Mamoru on the side nodded with satisfaction.

And in the next second.

The stadium suddenly raised a wave of cheers.

"The king Rikkai University is here!"

Then.

The team wearing yellow base and black and white stripes walked in from the entrance one after another.

Compared with the Hyotei Academy team.

The Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team gives people a feeling of confidence and majesty.

In an instant.

Everyone's mind involuntarily rose to the same word-[King's Teacher]!

Kitagawa, who was walking in front, had a sunny smile on his face, followed by Sanada Genichirō, Yukimura Seiichi, and Yanagi Renji with calm expressions.

Masaharu Niou, Hiroshi Yagyu, Bunta Marui, and Hulang Kuwahara all had different expressions.

They have distinct personalities, but they are also very impressive.

Let's not talk about that for now.

After the two teams entered the field and shook hands, they returned to the waiting area.

Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

"Senior Yukimura, Senior Niou."

"Leave it to you."

He glanced at the Hyotei Academy team, who were sharpening their knives, and Keigo Atobe, who did not hide his fighting spirit.

Kitagawa spoke softly to Seiichi Yukimura and Masaharu Niou with a half-smile.

"Yes!"

"Minister~!"

The two nodded with a smile.

Then they walked towards the direction of the court.

It can be said that.

In the first game, the doubles match started with a king bomb.

Although Masaharu Niou is not among the three giants.

But now he has already entered the national level.

Two national-level doubles teams, not to mention Yukimura Seiichi, who is good at mental tennis.

It's no exaggeration.

The doubles team of these two can completely dominate the doubles of Neon Junior High School.

The Hyotei Academy team.

"Oshitari, Gakuto."

"Give Hyotei a gorgeous first win!"

Atobe Keigo stared at the Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School team without looking away.

He said to Oshitari Yuushi and Mukai Gakuto in a deep voice.

"Atobe..."

Jiro Akutagawa on the side was about to say something but stopped.

In the end, he swallowed his words.

[Ah...]

[It seems that no one has seen the published results.The list of players. 】

【If Atobe knew that Kitagawa didn't play, wouldn't he be furious? 】

He was grumbling in his heart, and silently sighed for the Hyotei Academy team.

Of course.

It's not Atobe Keigo's fault that he didn't look at the list of players posted.

After all, in his opinion, Kitagawa would definitely play against him.

What a pity.

After all his calculations, he still didn't expect this to happen.

In the next moment.

"Ding ding ding!"

"The next thing to go is--"

"The first game of the Kanto Tournament semi-finals, doubles two."

"Hyotei Academy team's Yuushi Oshitari and Mukai Taketo VS Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School team's Yukimura Seiichi and Niou Masaharu."

"Please take your positions, both players!"

The referee on the podium blew the whistle directly.

In a moment.

The whole audience was silent!

Then there was an uproar.

Apparently most people didn't pay too much attention to the announcement.

After all, seats are really hard to grab!

"What?!! Rikkai University actually arranged the son of God, Yukimura Seiichi, in the doubles? Is this to blow up Hyotei?"

"Oh my goodness! The opening is a king bomb. Is this the determination of the king Rikkai University to become the Sixteen Hegemons of Kanto?"

"Didn't you see the list of players announced? The first doubles match two has Rikkai University's three giants Yukimura Seiichi, and the subsequent doubles match one also has one of the three giants Yanagi Renji, and the singles match three is one of the three giants Sanada Genichirō!"

"......"

Everyone was shocked by the arrangement of the Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School team.

Yeah!

This also includes the Hyotei Academy team and Atobe Keigo.

"What?!"

In an instant.

Atobe Keigo frowned and immediately turned his eyes to Kitagawa.

As if he wanted to see through the other party's purpose.

"Uh..."

"Atobe."

"If I say that Yanagi Renji will play in the second game and Sanada Genichirō will play in the third game."

"Will you get angry?"

At this time, Akutagawa Jiro spoke in a low voice with his eyes smacking.

Just the moment the words fell.

Atobe Keigo was stunned on the spot.
