Chapter 195

After the training camp began, Kazuya Tokugawa never sought out Aki Kamishiro again.

Aki Kamishiro felt that Yukio Kurobe must have had a talk with him.

The training was monotonous.

But it was also very fulfilling.

Through the training.

Aki Kamishiro felt his own strength had increased significantly compared to before.

However, he felt the training volume arranged by the coaches was too low, so he doubled it on his own initiative.

Kanata Irie was impressed every day by Aki Kamishiro's terrifying stamina!

And the time they spent training was exactly the same!

Of course, not every day was a training day.

There were also match days.

On every match day, the random round-robin leaderboard would clearly state the matchups for the day.

Usually, it was a team match between two adjacent courts.

Such as Court 16 playing against all the middle schoolers who had just entered the camp.

However, the high schoolers on Court 16 lost every match.

They were beaten by the middle schoolers to the point of doubting their own lives.

Winning allowed one to successfully advance to the higher-ranked courts.

After one week, the stronger players had already advanced to Court 5.

Which was the Court 5 where Jūjirō Oni was located.

They were Kunimitsu Tezuka, Keigo Atobe, Kuranosuke Shiraishi, Senri Chitose, Gin Ishida, Akaya Kirihara, Kippei Tachibana, Eishirō Kite, Jin Akutsu, and Jirō Akutagawa.

Players of similar strength also advanced to Court 6.

Court 6 included Seiichi Yukimura, Hiroshi Yagyū, Yūshi Oshitari, Bunta Marui, Eiji Kikumaru, Shūsuke Fuji, Hiroshi Chinen, Rin Hirakoba, Hikaru Amane, Akira Kamio, Chōtarō Ōtori, and Kiyosumi Sengoku!

Those who failed to enter Court 5 did not lack the strength.

It was just that they hadn't been selected in the random round-robin matches.

Although it was called random, it was actually arranged by Yukio Kurobe based on the comprehensive strength of each player.

Likewise, Aki Kamishiro was also arranged to play.

But the opponents were all too weak.

Within a week, he successfully advanced to Court 1.

Which was the court where Shūji Tane-ga-shima and Kazuya Tokugawa were located.

But Aki Kamishiro did not enter Court 1 by defeating either Shūji Tane-ga-shima or Kazuya Tokugawa.

Instead, he entered Court 1 by defeating a passerby named Santoku.

Although his strength was decent, compared to Jūjirō Oni, he was far, far inferior.

It was unclear if it was intentionally arranged by Yukio Kurobe.

Aki Kamishiro never had the opportunity to play against the key figures.

It was the same when playing against Court 3; he had thought he could play a match against the drama-loving Kanata Irie.

But in the end, a person named Michiru Nakagauchi was arranged to play against him.

At this moment, including Aki Kamishiro, there were 8 players on Court 1, which was quite few.

After becoming a player on Court 1, Aki Kamishiro was already set to dominate the entire U17 camp.

But Kazuya Tokugawa was strangely able to suppress himself from playing a match against Aki Kamishiro.

He wouldn't even play practice matches.

He didn't state his reasons, and Aki Kamishiro was too lazy to ask.

Not only him, but Shūji Tane-ga-shima was the same.

Although he shouted every day that he wanted to play a match against Aki Kamishiro.

But it never happened.

During this period, many players from Court 2 challenged Aki Kamishiro.

But all of them ended with a 6:0 score!

It made people feel that Aki Kamishiro had already become the No. 1 player of the U17 camp!

And everyone gradually accepted Aki Kamishiro's code name—God!

One month later, Aki Kamishiro received a professional team invitation from the German team!

This actually surprised Aki Kamishiro quite a bit.

After all, this invitation letter was actually delivered to Aki Kamishiro by a driver transporting food.

Was the security at the U17 camp this tight?

To the point that even an invitation letter couldn't be sent in?

If one thought about it carefully, one could indeed suspect some trickery.

Not only from Germany, but in the following days, Aki Kamishiro also received invitation letters from several other countries one after another.

They were Switzerland, France, Greece, and Spain.

Looking at the invitation letters on the table, Aki Kamishiro fell into thought.

He was considering whether to give up on Japan and represent another country in the U17 Tennis World Cup.

But after thinking about it carefully, he decided to stay!

It wasn't that he liked Japan that much, but that this way, he could play against more strong enemies!

For example, playing against the German team!

The current German team was ranked first in the world.

They even had powerful professional players leading them.

Joining them would be better than defeating them!

After making up his mind, Aki Kamishiro threw all these invitation letters into the trash can.

And this scene was seen by his roommate, Kanata Irie.

He rarely put away his usual playful smile and asked seriously.

"Kamishiro, are you really not considering going to the German team?"

"That is a top-tier professional team."

"They even have the professional player Volk to hold the fort; if you go, you will definitely be able to become stronger!"

Kanata Irie spoke very seriously and sincerely, and Aki Kamishiro could feel it.

Seeing this, he smiled.

"Volk? He seems to be a very strong professional player; I want to defeat him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kanata Irie was stunned!

How confident must one be to dare to say such things?!

Even if Hōō Byōdōin were here, he wouldn't dare to make such a boast about defeating a professional player!

But Kanata Irie didn't say anything more.

Because Aki Kamishiro had the strength to say those words!

In the following days, Court 3 and Court 5 officially went to war.

And Kunimitsu Tezuka's opponent was the former captain of Seigaku, Yūdai Yamato.

After this match, he successfully found his original intention!

And unlocked the Limit of the Brilliant Light!

Having found himself, Kunimitsu Tezuka decided to head to Germany!

Kunimitsu Tezuka's departure made Yukio Kurobe sigh.

"Those old guys from the German team really came to poach people."

While sighing, he also felt a bit fortunate.

"But fortunately, Aki Kamishiro did not leave."

"It seems the training restrictions can be lifted."

Early the next morning.

Kazuya Tokugawa and Jūjirō Oni were practicing as usual.

Starting with five balls for practice, then gradually increasing to ten tennis balls.

This was already their daily routine.

When Aki Kamishiro and Shūji Tane-ga-shima arrived at Court 1 together to train.

Seeing the two of them practicing in the morning again, Shūji Tane-ga-shima said with a smile.

"So energetic early in the morning!"

"Bang! Bang-bang... Bang-bang!"

The sound of ten rackets hitting tennis balls entered their ears.

Shūji Tane-ga-shima said again.

"By the way, it seems a very interesting match has started!"

"God and I are going over to watch; are you coming?"

Without realizing it, Shūji Tane-ga-shima also began to use the code name "God" to address Aki Kamishiro.

As soon as these words were spoken, the movements of the two stopped instantly.

Immediately after, ten tennis balls landed at once, making a huge noise!
