Chapter 211

Echizen Ryoma followed Echizen Ryoga to the United States and became a member of the U.S. national team.

Meanwhile, on Kamishiro Aki’s side.

Right after getting off the bus, everyone went to explore the local area in Australia together.

Of course, they were lectured by Sanada Genichiro for this.

"Too lax!"

Afterward, once everyone returned to the hotel, they went to draw lots.

Naturally, it was impossible for the whole group to go, so they sent representatives.

Everyone was exhausted from playing and no one wanted to go.

In the end, Byodoin Phoenix and the nice guy Oishi Shuichiro went.

Unsurprisingly, Oishi Shuichiro drew Germany.

During this time, they ran into Echizen Ryoma, who had also come to draw lots.

But they discovered that Echizen Ryoma was already on the U.S. national team.

They even told Echizen Ryoma that he had actually already been selected for the Japan national team.

Not only that, Oishi also ran into Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was representing the German team.

Oishi Shuichiro felt a bit dejected; the comrades who were supposed to fight together had suddenly all become enemies.

How could he possibly be happy?

After returning to the hotel, he briefly told everyone about what he had seen at the drawing ceremony.

Tooyama Kintaro was the most agitated.

"Why did 'Chou-mae' become our enemy?!"

After he finished speaking, Niou Masaharu mimicked Echizen Ryoma and said.

"I'm sorry, I'm on the U.S. national team now."

Niou Masaharu switched back to his original self and said.

"I heard he speaks in this tone."

"How arrogant!"

Akutsu Jin said with a calm expression.

"This works out perfectly. Since he went to the U.S., we have a chance to defeat that brat with all our might."

Then, he looked at Kamishiro Aki and said.

"But it's a pity that Kamishiro Aki didn't go to another country, otherwise there would be a chance to defeat him too!"

Kamishiro Aki elegantly sipped his iced cola.

He acted as if he hadn't heard Akutsu Jin’s words.

Seeing this, Akutsu Jin also shut his mouth.

Kirihara Akaya was in a great mood.

"That's right, we just have to defeat that guy Echizen Ryoma!"

Tooyama Kintaro also joined in.

"No! The one who will defeat 'Chou-mae' is definitely me!"

After everyone started saying they wanted to defeat Echizen Ryoma, Oishi Shuichiro shouted.

"What is wrong with everyone?"

"Does no one want Echizen Ryoma to come back?"

Seeing this, Sanada Genichiro spoke up.

"He is already a U.S. representative; he must have joined voluntarily."

"And his goal is to defeat Byodoin Phoenix or... Kamishiro Aki!"

Once he said that, everyone's gaze fell back onto Kamishiro Aki.

Oishi Shuichiro had no way to refute this.

It was true; not only Echizen Ryoma, but even he himself wanted to play a match against Kamishiro Aki right now.

At this moment, Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes and smiled.

"Echizen probably doesn't have a concept of national borders. I don't think there's any problem with him defeating the people he wants to defeat."

"Isn't that his consistent style of playing tennis?"

His words finally put Oishi Shuichiro at ease.

"That's true."

"By the way, there is one more thing."

"Our opponent tomorrow is the German team."

"And Tezuka will be competing on behalf of Germany."

Once these words were spoken, everyone became even more interested.

"Interesting, Echizen and Tezuka are both in the opposing zone."

"I have another reason to defeat Tezuka now."

"Echizen Ryoma, Tezuka Kunimitsu."

"This time, it's my turn to strike back!"

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki finished the iced cola in his hand in one gulp.

Immediately after, he smiled.

"My goal is to defeat even more strong enemies from other countries!"

"Everyone, let's give it our all in tomorrow's exhibition match!"

After he finished speaking, everyone chimed in.

"Oh!"

The next day, the exhibition match officially began.

The so-called exhibition match is a match for the investors to watch.

Some countries will give it their all, while others will naturally hold back their strength and play casually.

They might even send second-string or third-string non-regular players to compete.

But Kamishiro Aki and the others were playing against the German team today.

As the current number one team in the world, the German team wouldn't hold back too much even if they were preserving their strength.

After all, being number one in the world, holding back too much would be "530" a bit too excessive.

Before arriving at the competition venue, Tooyama Kintaro was the most excited!

"Finally, we can play!"

Kamishiro Aki looked out the window, feeling a bit emotional inside.

After coming all this way, he was finally going to step onto the world stage.

Today's match would feature a mix of middle schoolers and high schoolers.

It was roughly equivalent to the veterans leading the newcomers.

"I actually wanted to be in a group with Kamishiro Aki."

Irie Kanata smiled.

"No, it would be more interesting if Kamishiro Aki were in a group with Byodoin-senpai."

"That kind of combination is impossible, right?"

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

At this moment, the grand venue building appeared before everyone's eyes.

"We're finally here!"

After getting off the bus, the high school seniors began to introduce the teams.

"That over there is the Swiss team."

"And the host, the Australian team, over there."

"And Greece."

"France."

"They all look so strong!"

Tooyama Kintaro said excitedly.

"So amazing! I'm going to defeat them all!"

Seeing this, with the atmosphere set, Oni Jujiro shouted loudly.

"Brats, it's time to go!"

After entering the venue, it was indeed huge.

It had everything one could ask for.

All kinds of delicacies were displayed there.

As time passed, the match time finally arrived.

Byodoin Phoenix gave the final pep talk.

"We are going to conquer the world, win, that's it."

That was certainly simple.

But everyone was quite excited!

"Right!"

The exhibition match officially began!

At this moment, the sound of a broadcast echoed through the venue.

"U-17 World Cup Pre-tournament."

"This exhibition match features Germany versus Japan!"

"Welcome both teams to the court!"

"Entering first is the Japan team."

When the Japan team entered, the audience didn't make much of a stir.

"Next to enter is the nine-time consecutive World Cup champion—the German team!"

As soon as the German team entered, the whole arena erupted!

"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

"Germany! Germany!"

As both sides entered, everyone finally saw Tezuka Kunimitsu.. ........

"It's Tezuka!"

"And the one leading... is that the professional player Volk?!"

"He actually came to lead the team himself, that's so cool!"

Kamishiro Aki’s gaze was also fixed on Volk the entire time.

That was a genuine professional player.

Even a strong opponent like Byodoin Phoenix was not yet a professional player.

One could imagine how terrifying the strength of a professional player was!

But the more it was like this, the more Kamishiro Aki looked forward to it.

If he could really play a match against Volk, what would his chances of winning be?

At this moment, Volk also noticed Kamishiro Aki.

When Tezuka Kunimitsu arrived here, he had mentioned Kamishiro Aki more than once.

0.2

He even set him as his imaginary rival.

"Kamishiro Aki, huh? He certainly looks like a decent player."

Subsequently, both sides entered the waiting area, and the match officially began!

"Next, the first match will take place."

"Japan, Duke Watanabe and Fuji Syusuke versus!"

"Germany, M. Bismarck and E. Siegfried!"

"Will both players please enter the court!".
