The Son of God is the Judge

Liu's relative's homestay is not far from the national competition venue, and there were not many people coming to the hot spring homestay in August. Li Haida is currently one of the few guests in the homestay.

A total of eleven people who came to the camp this time, eight main candidates and three reserve players, arranged two rooms.Considering their relationship with each other and their living habits, six people, Marui, Kuwahara, Yanagi, Yagyu, Kirihara, and Tamagawa, lived in one room, and five people, Yukimura, Sanada, Nioh, Mori, and Sakamoto, lived in another room.Originally, the two pairs of doubles should not be separated, but Nioh and Yagyu have not talked about it yet, so it would be embarrassing to arrange them together at this time.In contrast, the quarrel between Sanada and Nioh was a trivial matter.

After all, Sanada would not play doubles with Nioh.

Yukimura felt a little regretful about this.And after Nioh practiced forced coherence, he had more regrets.The more Nioh and Sanada couldn't get used to it, the more Yukimura wanted the two to play a doubles, not a practice match, but a team in an official match.

But... Yukimura looked at the next arrangement. The national competition has not yet opened, the draw ceremony has not been held, and the schedule has not yet been released.What's more, among the doubles players, there is currently nothing that can make Sanada and Nioh team up.Therefore, Yukimura can only temporarily put this wicked idea aside.

This time's camp is different from the previous camp in the wild.The outdoor camp is to welcome the Kanto competition; this time, it is to welcome the national competition.For Li Haida, the Kanto champion is actually much more important than the national champion.Lihai University has been winning the Kanto for 13 consecutive years when they entered school. Yukimura and his seniors won the No. 14 Kanto championships. Their strength is not inferior to that of their predecessors.

After all, the Kanto champions are the continuation of the glory passed down by their predecessors, and they cannot lose it.And the national championship was won by themselves, and defending the championship is also their own goal.If you win, you will defend your title. If you lose, you will not feel ashamed of your predecessors.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​​​several other positive elections.

Yukimura is purely because he has figured out the strength of the schools participating in the national competition this year, and he doesn't think any school can influence Lihai David's crowning champion.There are strong schools, but the tennis game is a team game, and the outcome of one or two games cannot determine the outcome of the entire game.

And Li Haida's strength is Yukimura's self-confidence and pride.

The fifth day of the camp is the draw of lots for the national convention.All three of Yukimura attended the lottery ceremony.

This was suggested by Liu, and his reasons were also very good: "After all, all schools across the country are going to draw lots. If there is one less of the three of us who will not go, I guess there will be various speculations outside."

Yukimura was also very helpless about this.In fact, anyone can do the lottery, and it doesn't really affect Haida if the lottery is good or bad.But Lihai University's big three don't go to such occasions, those schools and magazines are guessing and guessing.

Sanada didn't go to the Kanto Contest last time. Two days later, the outside world said that the Big Three were at odds.Sanada's face turned black.

The lottery ceremony was held in the office building next to the tennis court, and Li Haida went there as usual.

With Yukimura as the leader, Sanada and Yanagi walked one step behind on the left and right, and the three entered the meeting room under the watchful eyes of everyone.

As soon as the three of them sat down in the front row, they vaguely heard whispers in the back row.

"Didn't you say that the relationship between the three giants of Lihai University is not good?" This was asked by the head of a school not in the Kanto area.

Sitting next to him was the head of a school near Kanto, "What! If the relationship is really bad, can it be passed to your side?"

That person thinks about it and agrees: This is not wrong.If the relationship is really bad, Li Haida will not let them know.

The voices of other schools in the back row could be heard a little bit in the front row, but neither Yukimura nor the other two people planned to bother, they just sat quietly and waited for the official start of the lottery ceremony.

At nine o'clock sharp, the draw ceremony officially began.

As last year's national champion, Li Haida was the first to draw lots.Yukimura reached out and took out a note from the box and handed it to the staff next to him. After the staff unfolded the note to confirm that it was correct, a number 1 appeared next to the name of Lihai University High School on the big screen.

After Lihai University drew lots, Yukimura and the others could not leave the field directly, but had to wait until the other schools had drawn lots and the schedule was generated before they could leave.Fortunately, there were not many schools participating in the national competition. Each school sent a person to draw lots, and the draw was over in half an hour.

The rules for generating the schedule are the same as the Kanto Contest. It is divided into upper and lower halves. Adjacent numbers are opponents. The loser is eliminated, and the winner continues.

After memorizing the schedule, the lottery ceremony will come to an end.When the three of Yukimura returned to the B&B, it was just in time for lunch, so they stopped going to the restaurant, took the meal and put it on a table, ate together and listened to this year's national competition schedule.

"There are a total of 31 schools participating in the national competition this year, so Lihai University has a bye in the first round. The opponent in the second round is Chunchuan Academy in Hokkaido, and the opponent in the third round is Yamabuki Middle School in Kanto." It can basically be predicted based on paper information. Liu focused on the semi-finals and finals. "In the semi-finals, our opponent will be Makino Fuji Middle School in Kansai. If there is no accident in the final, our opponent will be Shitenbaoji."

Bingdi and Lihai are not in the same half area, if you want to meet, you have to go to the finals.And Liu's prediction obviously means that Ice Emperor will not be able to enter the finals this year.And Bingdi's opponent in the semi-finals happened to be Sitianbaosi.

"Where is Ice Emperor? Is Sitianbao Temple stronger than Ice Emperor?" Kirihara asked while biting his chopsticks.In his perception, the Ice Empress is already very powerful.

Yukimura looked at Tamagawa and Sakamoto next to him. Although they didn't speak, they could see that they had the same thoughts as Kirihara.Is Sitianbao Temple stronger than Bingdi?

Yukimura considered the language for a while: "Ice Emperor is this year's runner-up in the Kanto region, and Shitenbaoji is this year's champion in the Kansai region."

That said, Kirihara understood.

But in fact, the problem of Sitianbao Temple and Kansai is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence.

But these things must be explained to the next class, so Yukimura continued: "Before we entered school, Makino Fuji in the Kansai area won two national championships, and Shiraku Middle School won two runners-up. It can be said that that For a while, the medals in the national competition were controlled by Kansai. But Byodoin Phoenix, who led Makinoto to win the championship, graduated, and the ace doubles pair that Shishile had before also entered school. It was the turn of the school in Kanto to compete in the national competition. Show your skills."

"In the third round of the national competition last year, Muzhifu and Shizile faced each other first. After Ice Emperor defeated Muzhifu in the semi-finals, we met us in the final." Kirihara and the others also heard about these things last year, but Yukimura said The purpose of this is to let the three first-year students learn how to analyze and measure the strength of others. "The Kansai area has always had a wild style of play. There are not a few tennis players who play violent tennis among the tennis players of Muzhifu and Shizile. Ice Emperor followed Muzhifu last year. He was also injured during the fight. But this year, Sitianbaoji defeated Muzhiteng and Shizile with ease, and won the Kansai championship."

Sakamoto thought about it seriously: "Ice Emperor was injured and won the Muzhito, who had a match with Shishi, and Shitenbaoji easily won the two schools, so it can be inferred that Ice Emperor will not be able to compete in the semi-finals. Is it true that we defeated the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple?"

Yes, but not quite.There is more than half a year between the match between Bingdi and Mu Zhiteng and the match between Sitianbao Temple and Mu Zhiteng. There is a certain reference value, but it is not absolute.Liu was able to give accurate predictions because he had a relatively complete database for reference.

But compared with Kirihara, who was confused, and Tamagawa, who was just figuring out the clues, Sakamoto's comprehension was qualified.

Yukimura didn't force them to understand after listening to it just once, anyway, there is still more than a year to go, so he can teach it no matter what?His goal is not high, and Kirihara's general direction is not wrong. Tamagawa and Sakamoto know in their hearts that it is enough to keep an eye on Kirihara.

The first few rounds of the national competition were not difficult for Lihai University. The strength of Chunchuan Academy was average, and Yamabuki had figured it out before, so the competition before the semifinals was easily won.

On the night after Yamabuki, the main candidates sat together to discuss the lineup for the semi-final match against Makino Fuji. Tamagawa and Sakamoto watched Kirihara doing practice exercises, but the three of them still listened to the seniors with their ears raised.

Today's home game is actually Maori.He grew up in Kansai, and transferred to Lihai University in the second year of junior high school.When Maori was the first in the country, Byodoin was just the third in the country, so Maori's understanding of Makino Fuji and Byodoin was more comprehensive than Liu's, after all, the angles were different.

"Makizhito's strength has actually declined since the seniors from Byodoin Temple graduated." Mouri thought about it carefully, "Most of the seniors who won the two national championships were at the same level as Seniors from Byodoin Temple, so once the seniors graduated, Muzhiteng lost a lot of combat power. Before I transferred to another school, Sitianbaoji and Muzhiteng also had a practice match. Although I didn't play, I can tell by just watching that their singles and doubles are weaker than before. "

At the end, Mori added: "If there is anything to pay attention to, it is probably their singles. That person's style is very similar to that of Byodoin Senior."

Other information Liu has also introduced before, Yukimura looked at the most likely order of Makino Fuji given by Liu, and fell into deep thought.According to the information given by Liu, Maori-senior said that Sugishita, the singles player who should pay attention to, will most likely defend the third position in the singles game in this semi-final.And Yukimura happened to be very interested in this Sugishita who is said to have a "style very similar to the predecessor of Byodoin Temple".

He took a pen to write down the playing arrangement, half complaining: "I haven't played for a long time."
