The young man walked on the stage calmly.

"Puh~" Atobe is also so concerned about Seigaku, this is not like his style!

Or is he concerned about someone in particular?

Does Tezuka Kunimitsu have a floral scent, always attracting a bunch of bees?

Nioh sat up straight and became interested.

The young man with short brown hair and frameless glasses walked on the stage calmly. His name was known to everyone present, but his school made people sigh.

Seigaku was obviously the most powerful school decades ago, but now it has ended up not even being able to get out of the Kanto competition.

"Tezuka... Even Tezuka can't save Seigaku!"

Some people around were singing bad songs.

"There is Rikkai University in the upper half and Hyotei in the lower half. No matter which track they are on, the game of Seigaku will not be easy!"

Rio glanced over. This person's analysis was quite accurate.

The young man's eyes were curled back and he blinked lightly. The young man's originally calm eyes suddenly flashed with golden light. The next second... fatigue rushed into his eyes. His upper eyelids were drooping over his lower eyelids. He was so sleepy that he seemed to fall asleep in the next second.

"..." What's going on?

He has never been a sleepy person. Why did he suddenly-

At this moment, a thunder suddenly flashed in his mind-accompanied by the sound of lightning and thunder, another voice sounded.

[Haha, Seigaku will play Hyotei in the first game... and then Hyotei's Narcissus will lose, and then he can't even enter the national competition, hahahaha! ]

What?

Rio frowned, not knowing where he was.

How is it possible?

With Seigaku's strength, how can they beat Hyotei?

Hyotei is a second- and third-year genius. Even their Rikkai University had to make all kinds of calculations to ensure that there would be no loopholes when facing this school.

Now——

Before Niou could think more, somehow, everything returned to normal before he could react.

The young man blinked his eyes gently, and the scene in front of him did not change again... The voice just now seemed to be an illusion.

On the stage, Tezuka Kunimitsu just put his hand into the number box——

Could it be Hyotei?

Niou's heart and body tensed up, as if there was a line behind him, hanging high, tightly strangling him and everyone around him, making them unable to move.

He... didn't want to obey the command of these lines!

He wanted to——

Change!

That's right, change!

Niou's brows tightened, and at the moment when his heart changed, he raised his hand without any instruction, and gently flicked the transparent space in front of him. The line that was originally as hard as steel wire banged, and ripples were swaying in the air.

Dang~

The densely packed lines connected with each other, the sound of dang-dang-dang continued, vibrating each other, changing each other, and the lines of fate were changed just like that!

The people around only felt numb, and before they could react, this feeling disappeared, as if it was an illusion!

And Niou——

Staring closely at the figure on the stage——

If he was not mistaken...

If he was not mistaken——

The last ripple just now fell on Tezuka Kunimitsu!

Dang~

The silent waves echoed, and Tezuka Kunimitsu also withdrew his hand.

In the palm of his hand, the big number 9 and 16 were facing each other from a distance.

They would not meet in the first game-even if they did, it would be in the semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament!

Niou leaned back and hit the chair, making a creaking sound, attracting a lot of attention. But he didn't care at all...

In his eyes, there was only the number in the hand of the young man on the stage...

9...

The number that should have been 15 was now 9!

Is it his illusion? Or did he really change... his fate!

The young man raised his hand stupidly, and his surprised expression made Sanada frown, "What are you doing..."

"Nothing!"

Retracting his jaw and surprise, Niou lowered his eyes.

The drawing of lots only took half a day, and the remaining half a day was for the various schools to get in touch with each other. After all, in addition to the competition, everyone can still be friends!

And Rikkai University——

Watching the people around him leave in groups, Niou smiled.

"It turns out that our school has no friends at all!"

No one dared to approach them.

"The king does not need friends!" Sanada didn't care at all.

"Then... he came to talk to you, and you don't care?" Noticing that there was an extra figure behind him, Niou chuckled.

Sanada turned around, "Tezuka..."

The tone was complicated, but it was a little happy after all.

Niou chuckled.

People

Ah, a large-scale double standard scene~

Just...

"I came here to find him!" Tezuka said expressionlessly.

Nioh: "..."

Sanada: "..."

I'm most afraid of the air suddenly being quiet!

Nioh could feel the eyes that fell on him instantly, cold and murderous.

He said helplessly, "Why are you looking for me?"

He and Tezuka have only heard of each other but never seen each other, so they should have never met.

"I just came here to confirm if it's you..." Tezuka said something very inexplicable, then nodded to Sanada and left.

"When did you meet?" Sanada asked.

"I don't know him!" Nioh just felt inexplicable.

He can guarantee that he has never seen Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Sanada's eyes were full of doubt. Obviously, he believed in Tezuka and chose to doubt his teammates!

Nioh: "..."

This teammate can't be kept!

However, Tezuka's words did stir up a faint wave in his heart.

This man shouldn't say these words. Then... have they really met before?

Tezuka... Tezuka...

"The Tezuka family is in Tokyo, right?"

"Of course!" Sanada glanced at him.

"Then do you know what their family does?" Niou asked again.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"You know about me for no reason, and you won't let me ask!" Niou glared at him, "Which side are you on?"

"Why do I feel that you care more about that guy?"

Obviously I am your teammate!

"..." Sanada was silent for a while, and said, "I am just talking about the facts, I don't mean anything else!"

"Heh--" He would believe it.

Sanada finally explained as he wished, Tezuka Kunimitsu's family is a judo hall. His grandfather used to work in the police station, and his father is still in the police station.

"Oh, this kind of..." If it was an official, Niou guessed that they probably met somewhere.

Not Qingwang, that place is Kunijoji Daijuku!

But he had never been to the Management Department. So...

The New Year's party?

——Is it such a coincidence?

And Niou was not wrong. Tezuka really met Niou at that party.

"Tezuka, when did you meet Niou?" Oishi Shuichiro asked. Why didn't I hear Tezuka mention it before?
