Chapter 320: Slipped Up, Almost Got a Headshot

At the National Tournament Chouqian Society venue.

Atobe Keigo and Kamishiro Aki had been waiting there early on.

During the wait, Atobe Keigo couldn't help but ask Kamishiro Aki a question.

"Was the u17 fun?"

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki smiled slightly.

"You'll know soon; the u17 is truly a magical place."

The more he said this, the more curious Atobe Keigo became.

But he knew this day would come sooner or later.

At this moment, two brats in the front row started talking to themselves.

"Rikkai actually lost the Guandong Tournament, how lame."

"Yeah, wanting a three-peat is simply impossible."

These words were heard by Sanada Genichiro.

This plotline was very familiar to Kamishiro Aki.

But this time, the one who stepped forward wasn't Sanada Genichiro, but Yukimura Seiichi.

Yukimura Seiichi merely stood there, and those two brats were scared into a cold sweat.

Immediately after, he was seen walking towards Kamishiro Aki's direction.

"Kamishiro Aki, I am Yukimura Seiichi from Rikkai; the message you had Sanada bring me, I received it."

Sanada Genichiro really did deliver the message.

Kamishiro Aki smiled slightly.

To be honest, he hoped to meet Rikkai in the first round.

At this time, Seigaku also arrived.

The people who came were Tezuka Kunimitsu and Oishi Shuichiro.

When everyone had arrived, the draw began!

For this draw, Kamishiro Aki decided to let Atobe Keigo draw.

If he drew it, it would likely proceed according to the original timeline.

After a while, the draw ended.

Once the draw results were out, 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 Academy had a bye in the first round.

Rikkaidai Fuzoku would face Hokkaido's Harukawa Academy in the first round.

Except for Rikkai, everyone was quite lucky.

However, with Rikkai's strength, they could smoothly advance in the first round.

What Kamishiro Aki cared about more now was who their opponent in the next round would be.

Then he looked at the group stage teams they were in.

Kibi Junior High versus Rokkaku Junior High!

Good heavens, Atobe Keigo drew the ticket Tezuka Kunimitsu was supposed to have drawn!

With this, their Hyotei opponent in the second round would definitely be Kibi Junior High.

Although Rokkaku's strength was not bad, everyone from Kibi Junior High liked to play dirty.

They wouldn't be able to win.

Knowing the situation, Kamishiro Aki was already confident.

Afterwards, he briefly told everyone from Hyotei about the situation with Kibi Junior High.

For the following week, everyone was practicing hard.

Finally, the time arrived for the first day of the National Men's Tournament!

On that day, the entire Hyotei team arrived at the venue early.

This tournament was much more formal than the previous ones!

Moreover, all the match courts were colored.

Much better than those muddy grounds or cracked concrete grounds before!

Just after getting off the car, Akutagawa Jirou shouted excitedly.

"Really looking forward to meeting stronger players!"

This was also what everyone else was thinking.

The opening ceremony was held at the National Tournament Decision venue.

After entering here, spectator stands were everywhere on all sides.

And in the middle of the venue, there was only one tennis court.

I'm getting the feeling, it feels like playing a professional match!

At this moment, Atobe Keigo couldn't help but say something to Kamishiro Aki.

"Kamishiro, we will win 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 heart.

After the opening ceremony ended, the first round of matches immediately began.

All matches followed an elimination format.

Three losses meant immediate elimination.

This national tournament also adopted a special rule.

Every team's opening match had to go the full five rounds.

In other words, regardless of win or loss, all five rounds had to be played out.
