Chapter 122: Slipped my hand, almost got a headshot! (Please subscribe!)
At the national tournament drawing venue.
Atobe Keigo and Kamishiro Aki were waiting early.
During the wait, Atobe Keigo couldn’t help but ask Kamishiro Aki a question.
“Is U-17 fun?”
Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki smiled slightly.
“You’ll know soon; U-17 is really a magical place.”
The more he said that, the more curious Atobe Keigo became.
But he knew this day would come sooner or later.
At this time, the two little devils in the front row started talking to themselves.
“Rikkai actually lost the Kanto Tournament, how pathetic.”
“Yeah, and they wanted to take a three-peat, simply impossible.”
This conversation happened to be heard by Sanada Genichiro.
Kamishiro Aki was very familiar with this plot.
But the person who came out this time wasn’t Sanada Genichiro, but Yukimura Seiichi.
Yukimura Seiichi just stood there, and the two little devils were scared into a cold sweat.
Immediately after, he walked toward Kamishiro Aki’s direction.
“Kamishiro Aki, I am Rikkai’s Yukimura Seiichi; I received the message you asked Sanada to bring me.”
Sanada Genichiro really brought the message.
Kamishiro Aki smiled slightly.
To be honest, he hoped to run into Rikkai in the first round.
At this time, Seigaku also arrived.
The people who came were Tezuka Kunimitsu and Oishi Shuichiro.
When everyone arrived, the drawing began!
For this drawing, Kamishiro Aki decided to let Atobe Keigo draw.
If he drew, it should follow the original timeline.
After a while, the drawing ended.
The drawing results came out, and Kamishiro Aki took a careful look at the more important schools.
Shitenhoji had a bye in the first round.
Seigaku had a bye in the first round.
Hyotei had a bye in the first round.
Rikkai played against Hokkaido’s Shunkawa Gakuen in the first round.
Except for Rikkai, they were all quite lucky.
But with Rikkai’s strength, they could also advance smoothly in the first round.
Kamishiro Aki was now more concerned about who the next opponent would be.
Then he looked at the group stage teams they were in.
Higa Middle School played against Rokkaku Middle School!
Good heavens, Atobe Keigo drew the lot that Tezuka Kunimitsu should have drawn!
In this case, the opponent Hyotei would play in the second round would definitely be Higa Middle School.
Although Rokkaku’s strength was good, the people from Higa Middle School liked to play dirty.
They couldn’t beat them.
Knowing the situation, Kamishiro Aki was already confident.
Afterward, he told everyone in Hyotei a little about Higa Middle School’s situation.
For the following week, everyone practiced hard.
Finally, the day of the National Men’s Championship arrived!
On that day, the entire Hyotei team arrived at the venue early.
This competition was much more formal than before!
And all the competition venues were colored.
Much better than those mud courts and cracked concrete courts from before!
Just after getting off the bus, Akutagawa Jiro shouted excitedly.
“Really looking forward to running into stronger players!”
This was also what everyone else thought.
The opening ceremony was held at the national tournament’s final venue.
After entering, there were spectator seats in all directions.
And there was only one tennis court in the middle of the venue.
It felt like it; it felt like playing a professional match!
At this time, Atobe Keigo couldn’t help but say to Kamishiro Aki.
“Kamishiro, we must take the national championship together!”
Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki nodded with a smile.
“That’s for sure! The national championship belongs to Hyotei!”
Hearing this, Atobe Keigo smiled from the bottom of his heart.
After the opening ceremony ended, the first round of matches was held immediately.
All matches used a knockout mechanism.
As long as you lost three matches, you were out immediately.
This national tournament also used special rules.
All teams’ first matches had to be played for five rounds.
That is, regardless of winning or losing, all five rounds of matches had to be played.
This was to better observe the preliminary data information of each team.
And the order of matches in the national tournament was also different from previous matches.
The order of matches this time was Singles 3, Doubles 2, Singles 2, Doubles 1, and finally Singles 1!
That is to say, Singles 1 was the final player.
Kamishiro Aki couldn’t remember so much at all.
He listened to everything Inui Sadaharu said.
Because Inui Sadaharu was right next to their Hyotei.
At this time, Kikumaru Eiji discovered Kamishiro Aki.
“Hyotei is here, why are they everywhere!”
“Hope we don’t run into them so soon! I don’t want to play against Kamishiro Aki!”
Hearing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke up.
“We won’t run into them so soon.”
“According to the match schedule, we have to at least reach the semifinals to run into them.”
Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he became melancholy again.
“Hey, if only the little guy were here.”
Kamishiro Aki heard Kikumaru Eiji’s words.
He just smiled slightly.
Because Echizen Ryoma would be here soon.
At this time, the first round of matches began!
Higa Middle School played against Rokkaku Middle School.
Just like in the anime, Rokkaku Middle School was crushed by Higa Middle School.
And Rokkaku Middle School’s Old Man was hit by a tennis ball by Higa Middle School’s Kai Yujiro!
The Old Man fell heavily to the ground.
“Old Man!”
“Get a stretcher!”
Higa Middle School’s various behaviors made everyone very angry.
Although Kamishiro Aki had told Hyotei in advance.
But they still couldn’t stand Higa Middle School’s actions!
At this moment, Shishido Ryo couldn’t hold back anymore.
He shouted.
“Hey! What are you doing!”
“Actually using a tennis ball to hit an old man! That’s too much!”
After speaking, he wanted to go down to the court and ask Higa Middle School for an explanation!
Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki stepped in to stop him.
“Senior Shishido, don’t be impulsive, let me handle it!”
Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment.
What did he mean?
Kamishiro Aki took out a tennis ball and threw it directly into the air.
Immediately after, he swung his racket forcefully to hit the tennis ball!
“Bang!”
The tennis ball smashed heavily toward Kai Yujiro’s feet like a missile!
“Bang!”
The tennis ball that bombed the ground split directly into more than a dozen pieces!
At the same time, a large dent appeared on the ground where the tennis ball landed!
Everyone was shocked!
Everyone looked at Kamishiro Aki.
At this time, Kamishiro Aki said faintly to Kai Yujiro.
“Oh my, what a pity, slipped my hand, almost got a headshot.”
Kai Yujiro didn’t say a word for a long time.
Because he was completely scared.
If this tennis ball had really hit him, he would have had to lie in the hospital for at least a week.
At this moment, he realized that his back was suddenly sweating a lot.
He knew it wasn’t because of the hot weather, but because of the cold sweat from fearing Kamishiro Aki’s strength!
And at this time, Echizen Ryoma, who appeared on the court, was slightly stunned.
He had originally wanted to show off, but he didn’t expect Kamishiro Aki to beat him to it.
And the effect was even more explosive than his!
Really explosive, physically explosive.
At this time, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Kamishiro Aki.
“Kamishiro, your strength has improved again.”
"Kamishiro, your strength has improved again."
