Chapter 162: The list is out
"Representatives of each school, please take your seats quickly."
Seeing the strange atmosphere between Ice Emperor and Rokurigaoka, the Rikkai staff immediately spoke out to stop it. Even though they felt cold when facing Atobe's momentum, they also performed neither humble nor arrogant, not losing the demeanor of the new king of the national competition.
Hearing the sound, Atobe's gaze swept over the person who came. Seeing the other party's forced support, the momentum on his body dissipated. This task was just to draw lots, and he didn't intend to cause other unnecessary trouble, so he turned back and sneered at Miyase Tomonori.
"Humph, I'll spare you this time. I advise you to pray to heaven sincerely, hoping not to meet Ice Emperor in the national competition."
After leaving the warning, Atobe and Chitose walked toward their seats.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
Without the deterrence of Atobe's terrible gaze, Miyase Tomonori's dazed brain suddenly came back to his senses. He discovered his ugly state and felt the strange gazes of the people around him. His cheeks flushed red as he tried to make up for it.
Thinking of Ju Juping deterring Rokurigaoka's Miyase Tomonori, second-year Monowaki Satoru gave a light laugh, his expression very confident. Last year, it was because he, the super rookie, didn't play that Rikkai took the championship. This year...
"Humph, this year Makino-tō will take the championship back from Rikkai and reproduce the glory of the champion!"
And a coincidental thing happened.
Yuuki Satoru looked at the freshly baked list, mainly focusing on the names he cared about. Ice Emperor, Rikkai, and Makino-tō were divided into Group A, while Budongfeng, Shitenhoji, and Shishigaku were divided into Group B.
Sure enough, it was not simple. Even across three rows of seats, he could still feel that creepy and terrible momentum.
Except for the familiar Josei Shonan and Keisha, Yuuki Satoru observed all the other strong schools in the region.
Before the words were finished, a violent and wild aura flashed in Ju Juping's eyes. The faces of the two from Rokurigaoka turned pale, and they were shocked.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear these words." A cold tease interrupted the two's appointment moment, Yukimura and Sanada came over.
He cast his gaze over. Sitting next to Shiraishi was a teenager with a curl of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, wearing white casual clothes, always with a smile on his face, looking full of humor.
In short...
This year's Shitenhoji is an opponent that needs to be focused on.
"No problem."
"Wow?! Kyushu Duo's Chitose Senri, and Ju Juping have both appeared?!"
Not long after, as the teams from each school arrived, Rikkai finally arrived.
"Mr. Child of God, don't speak too full. After all, this world will always have many unexpected possibilities~"
Hah, there are really many guys to care about!
As for the Shishigaku Middle School where he once stayed...
The foundation of the former strong school had long been worn away. Those seniors graduated and left one by one, and Fuhwa Tetsuhito also graduated last year. After he and Chitose transferred, the rest were just a group of arrogant guys.
"Rikkai's national two-consecutive championship, no one can stop it, including you, Atobe-kun!"
Ice Emperor Academy and Rokurigaoka Middle School, which had friction not long ago, met fatefully in the first round. Shishigaku Middle School's Taimaru Daikichi also excitedly looked at the number in the captain's hand. The opponent was Budongfeng where Ju Juping was.
Ju Juping reminded in a slightly cautious tone. According to the information provided by Chitose, Shiraishi Kuranosuke of Shitenhoji was definitely an existence that could not be ignored, and if he remembered correctly, Ishida's older brother seemed to be there too.
Last year, the third-year seniors of Higa were beaten to pieces by the first-year Ju Juping and Chitose Senri, which established the title of Kyushu Duo of Shishigaku in one fell swoop.
Before Miyase Tomonori could finish speaking, a sharp shout interrupted his words that hadn't been spoken yet. Then, Yuuki Satoru, wearing a black team uniform, didn't even look at him and walked past from the side.
"After all, this is the honor that could only be obtained because of Shishigaku!"
"That's right, that's the confidence to have, Monowaki!"
Shishigaku Middle School's current captain, third-year Takakura Keisuke, looked coldly at Ju Juping and Chitose Senri, and said coldly in his heart.
Taimaru Daikichi!
And Miyase Tomonori was shocked and stayed in his seat by this shout, his hair standing up, as if hit by an electric current.
"This is the former ace of Shishigaku, the Kyushu Duo!"
"Definitely!"
"... Otherwise, some people won't be able to sit still."
Without too many processes, after the short speech by the organizer's spokesperson, the draw link of the national competition officially began.
"Yes!"
Atobe looked sideways, the gazes of the two collided in the air, and two cold and hot momentums suddenly rose.
On the side, Sekimoto Yudai swept his gaze over the representatives of each school in the classroom, a sneer appearing on his face.
Atobe's sharp eyes swept over Yukimura, with a sneer on his face, and retorted verbally.
"Kill him, Taimaru!"
"Miyase Tomonori, right...
Atobe's admonition to you, you'd better keep it in mind. Don't stop praying to heaven for the next week, and don't meet Budongfeng in the national competition, otherwise—"
"Rest assured, Kippei and I will arrive as promised!"
Monsters... a group of monsters!
The representatives who came to draw lots were basically the regular and vice-captains of the schools. The strength level of these people largely represented the upper limit of the school, which had a certain reference significance, facilitating Budongfeng to arrange troops before the match.
Hearing the captain's order, Taimaru Daikichi looked at Ju Juping's direction, a confident and cruel grin appearing on his face. He made a virtual cut on his throat with his thumb, but unfortunately, Ju Juping didn't look back, and his provocation could only be self-entertaining.
Not far away, Kai Yujiro of Higa Middle School took all this into his eyes. Higa Middle School was also in the Kyushu region, and he recognized Ju Juping and Chitose Senri at once, and couldn't help but shout in surprise.
With a slap, the two fists touched together.
But facing Rikkai, no one could easily say they had a sure chance of winning.
"Yuuki, I will wait for you in the final, don't lose!"
On the other side, Yukimura first bowed slightly to Yuuki Satoru, and then said gently: "My body is no problem. Sorry to trouble Yuuki-kun to thank Coach Jiro for me. I will visit in the future."
Adding Shiraishi, Shitenhoji had two national-level singles, and their strength could not be underestimated.
"Didn't expect that after leaving Shishigaku, both of them went to schools in Tokyo!
However, thanks to them leaving..."
Besides, the doubles type with comedy as the main focus like Koharu and Yuji, if they accidentally fell into the opponent's trap, it would also be a very troublesome thing.
Yuuki Satoru called out the opponent's name in his heart. He remembered this person who was called the legendary captain of Shitenhoji together with Hirazenji, and entered the U17 training camp after graduating from middle school, and won the NO. 19 seat.
"Don't say any more, Kai."
Ju Juping followed behind Yuuki Satoru. When passing by Miyase Tomonori, he specially looked at the name written on the seat card.
Rikkai and Shitenhoji, who had just won the Kanto and Kansai championships, were directly given a bye in the first round, while the remaining six bye spots were drawn by several lucky schools, and the remaining 16 teams competed for the remaining eight spots together.
Even without Chitose joining, this year's Shitenhoji still had a great threat.
"Even if we win the first round, we will meet Rikkai in the second round. Damn it... even if we win the first round, what's the use?"
This was different from the rumored version.
"Shut up!"
Kai Yujiro, who also recognized the Kyushu Duo, had a strange light flash in his eyes, stopping Kai from continuing.
The draw ended, and everything was settled.
"Barely making it to the national competition and saying such big words, it's you Ice Emperor who should pray. What qualifications do you have to be defeated by a school like Budongfeng..."
Yukimura's voice was gentle but also showed dominance.
Without too many words, Yuuki Satoru stretched out his right hand into a fist. Seeing this, Atobe smiled freely, and the hesitation that had just arisen in his heart dissipated like spring snow meeting the early sun, so he also stretched out his fist.
"Heh, it's nothing amazing, it's really better to see once than to hear a hundred times."
"Humph, any possibility that blocks Rikkai, I will cut them all off!" Facing Atobe's counter-attack, Sanada retorted coldly without hesitation.
"Leaving Shishigaku will be the biggest mistake of the two of them."
It's just...
One followed others closely, and the other was like a lazy ghost who hadn't woken up.
"Is that so... I hope you can do it."
"Hmm."
Shishigaku Middle School second-year Taimaru Daikichi was curious, turning his head to look at Ju Juping and Chitose Senri who had already taken their seats. He transferred after the two left the tennis club, so he had only heard the name of the Kyushu Duo but had never seen them with his own eyes.
"The opponent in the first round is Keisha, no fame at all, it must be good luck to make it to the national competition, simply free points!"
"This national competition, need to pay attention to Shitenhoji in Kansai in advance."
Yuuki Satoru nodded. If Budongfeng wanted to reach the top of the country, Shitenhoji was an obstacle they couldn't easily bypass.
Before Kitesu served as the captain of the tennis club, Higa Middle School always lost more and won less when meeting Shishigaku Middle School.
"Boss, after I lead Makino-tō to win the national championship, I will go there to continue to follow you."
After all, Shitenhoji's Oshitari Kenya and Ishida Gin, they were the No. 1 power and speed duo in Japan who could play both doubles and singles. In terms of speed and power alone, even Kamio and Ishida were inferior.
Since carelessly losing to Rikkai last year, these guys actually started to look down on Makino-tō. This year, he would let them know what the foundation of a strong school was.
Withdrawing his gaze, Taimaru Daikichi showed a disdainful smile on his face. The era of the Kyushu Duo had passed. The one who would become famous in the future would be him, the super rookie of Shishigaku—
A golden-haired figure that was incomparably domineering appeared in his heart, and Sekimoto Yudai swore secretly to him.
As time passed, one school after another arrived.
However, compared to their singles, Yuuki Satoru was more concerned about the opponent's doubles.
Atobe and Chitose walked over, raising their heads slightly, their voices conveying extremely strong confidence, but Yuuki Satoru heard a hint of heaviness under the appearance of this confidence.
"Quite stylish, but in front of my super tennis, they are all vulnerable."
"Kanto's Josei Shonan, Keisha, different from Rokurigaoka who barely made it to the national competition, Aichi's true hegemon Nagoya Seitoku has also arrived. Sure enough, they are international students..."
Although he didn't know the specific strength level of the opponent, at least they already had the national level.
If it weren't for these two guys transferring, it wouldn't have been so easy to win the Kyushu championship this year. It's just that the people who should have a headache now should be those poor bugs who are immersed in the fantasies of the past and can't get out.
"Hara Tetsuya..."
It's just that some people are happy and some are sad, everyone's mood is different, and the classroom soon fell into heated discussion.
"Since you chose to join other schools, don't blame me for taking back the title of Kyushu Duo from you in the national competition."
Ice Emperor was divided into Group A, so Atobe was destined to fight Rikkai before he could win the qualification to enter the final.
Yuuki Satoru's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and his gaze couldn't help but look at Yukimura carefully. His physique was indeed much stronger, he should have undergone specialized training, and his mental power was not as aggressive as in the past, but instead had a kind of return to simplicity.
Yukimura Seiichi without physical hidden dangers...
Suddenly, a burst of heat in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
