Tennis: My Body Is The Sheath Of The Sword! I Am The Sword Bearer On The Court!

0120 Kanto Tournament begins! Fudomine substitute match! Spectator of the main draw?

The next day.

Kanto, Tokyo.

Reikawa Tsukasa Tennis Park.

Today is the day of the first stage group stage of the Kanto Tournament.

Unlike the last Kanto Tournament held in Kanagawa, the venue for this Kanto Tournament was chosen to be in Tokyo.

And!

Compared to the Shimori Sports Park selected for the regional qualifiers and the metropolitan tournament, Reikawa Tsukasa Tennis Park has been the venue for some large-scale adult amateur competitions in the past.

The area is larger and the quality of the court is better.

It is even equipped with a central spectator court and an ordinary competition court.

Some strong confrontations will also be arranged in the central court to accommodate more people to watch.

It was less than 9 o’clock in the morning.

Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori had already arrived at the game site, waiting for the teams to gather and appear.

“Inoue-senpai! Time flies! We are already at the Kanto Tournament!”

“I don’t know if these two days of competition can boost the sales of our next issue of the magazine again!”

“The editor-in-chief said! If I can improve by 30%, I can become a full-time reporter for the company ahead of time!”

Shiba Saori muttered to herself as she took pictures of the arriving junior high school teams.

Mamoru Inoue next to her smiled and said,”You must do well in the Kanto Conference in the next two days! If you can capture some great pictures, it will be a great help in increasing the sales of the magazine!”

“However, this year’s Kanto Conference is destined to be very exciting!”

Shiba Saori was stunned, put down the camera and turned to look at the other party:”Senior Inoue, is it because of Fudomine? Or is it because the teams participating in the Kanto Conference are very strong?”

Inoue Mamoru nodded:”You are right! In addition to Fudomine Junior High School and Hyotei Academy, which we are more familiar with at the Metropolitan Conference!”

“There is also a team in the Kanto Conference that has been at the top of the national pyramid for two consecutive years!”

“Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School!”

“The achievement of winning the national championship twice in a row is dazzling enough in the history of Japan’s junior high school national competitions!”

“And this year, their goal is obviously to win three consecutive championships!”

“This also means that they will inevitably have a remarkable battle with Fudomine Junior High School led by Kitakami-san!”

After hearing this, Shiba Saori was not surprised at all.

As an increasingly mature reporter, she naturally knew the name of Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

However, she suddenly came close to Inoue Mamoru and lowered her voice and said,”Senior Inoue, I know everything you said! But I also heard one thing!”

“That means the captain of the Rikkai University Tennis Club, Yukimura Seiichi, is sick!”

Inoue Mamoru’s expression changed:”Sick?! Saori, where did you hear that?”

Seeing that the other party’s voice was so loud, Shiba Saori quickly said”hush” and spoke softly again:”I heard it from a friend who works in the hospital yesterday when I was chatting with her!”

“She knew I was doing a special feature on junior high school tennis, so she mentioned a 14-year-old junior high school student who had been hospitalized for a long time in the hospital where she worked!”

“He also said that the junior high school student was very famous for playing tennis!”

“If I hadn’t specifically asked her to tell me who it was, she wouldn’t have told me!”

“Oh, right! It seems that Yukimura Seiichi has a serious disease! What is his name?……Guillain-Barre syndrome! I’ve never heard of it!”

“It seems to be about the neural spine!”

Inoue Mamoru immediately believed it.

After all!

He also knew that Yukimura Seiichi, the captain of the Rikkai University tennis club, did not attend the Kanagawa Conference.

Combined with what Shiba Saori said, if Yukimura Seiichi did not show up at the Kanto Conference today, then……The fact that Yukimura Seiichi is sick is almost completely confirmed!

But Inoue Mamoru also showed a tangled look.

Yukimura Seiichi!

The most watched among the”Big Three” of Rikkai University! He is undoubtedly the core figure of the king Rikkai University.

Such a brilliant and talented player actually has Guillain-Barré syndrome!

Shiba Saori doesn’t understand this disease, but Inoue Mamoru knows very well what this disease represents.

This is a terrible disease that is likely to ruin a player’s tennis career.

By then! It will not only be a heavy blow to the Rikkai University tennis team.

It will also make the future of Japanese tennis lose a rising star who has the opportunity to rise!!

Just as he was thinking about a thousand things in his mind, Shiba Saori on the side suddenly said:”Here they come! Senior Inoue! It’s the Rikkai University team!”

Inoue Mamoru hurriedly looked to the side of the road.

He saw the Rikkai people wearing khaki jerseys and jackets, carrying tennis bags, walking towards the park gate together.

Before he could see clearly whether Yukimura Seiichi was in the team.

Many junior high school students around him had already started talking.

“Hey hey hey!! Rikkai University is here!!”

“Rikkai University is the king! They are determined to win the Kanto Tournament again this year!”

“Determined to win? Have you forgotten about Fudomine Junior High School? Their apparent strength is no weaker than Rikkai University!”

“That’s right! Rikkai University was very strong in the past, and Hyotei Academy couldn’t compete with them head-on! However, this year, Fudomine, the dark horse, is coming in strong! It won’t be easy for Rikkai University to win the championship!”

“These are not the key points! Did you see? Who is the leader of Rikkai University today? It is the deputy director, Genichirō Sanada! The son of God, Seiichi Yukimura, did not show up again!”

“That’s right! He didn’t show up at the Kanagawa Tournament! Today is the Kanto Tournament. Does he think that he doesn’t need to play and that others can win the championship just like in the past?”

“I don’t think Yukimura Seiichi is that stupid! Fudomine Junior High School’s Kitakami shut out Atobe Keigo! With this record, Rikkai University would never underestimate Fudomine!”

“Could it be……What happened inside Rikkai University?”

“……”

The discussions among students from various schools even led to many Rikkai University cheerleaders becoming their targets. They seemed to want to learn something about Yukimura Seiichi from them.

But obviously, they couldn’t get much information. At most, they just knew that Yukimura Seiichi hadn’t appeared in school during this period.

Inoue Moriya shook his head regretfully and sighed.

He looked at the Rikkai University regulars, headed by Sanada Genichirō, who had some ugly expressions because of the discussions among students from various schools.

“Rikkai University……No Son of God…….”

“This year’s Kanto Conference may be really difficult!”

When the Rikkai University left everyone’s sight, there were not many teams that had not yet arrived.

A bus with the Hyotei Academy logo stopped at the entrance of the park.

Led by Keigo Atobe, the Hyotei regulars got off the bus one after another.

Their arrival shifted the original discussion about Rikkai University.

Hyotei Academy!

The disastrous defeat to Fudomine Junior High School in the Metropolitan Conference caused a lot of controversy for this team.

But no matter what!

In previous years, this national giant team has always been an important presence in the Kanto Conference.

And another reason why they have attracted so much attention is!! In today’s first stage of the Kanto Conference group match, Hyotei Academy, who are both in Group D, and the king Rikkai University will face off directly!!

Yukimura Seiichi did not show up in the Rikkai University team just now.

So at this time, everyone also wants to see if Hyotei Academy can defeat Rikkai University without the”Son of God”!!

“Snapped——”

Atobe Keigo snapped his fingers.

The Hyotei cheerleaders cheered and shouted!

Atobe Keigo led the Hyotei players to the park with his hands in his pockets and a tennis bag on his back. Shiba Saori was so tired that she could hardly breathe in order to take some photos in the crowd.

“You are still so boastful! Senior Inoue! If you ask me, Hyotei still didn’t learn his lesson from losing to Fudomine last time!”

“The first match today is against Rikkai University! We’ll probably lose again!”

Inoue Mamoru heard the displeasure in the other party’s tone and shook his head.

“This game is not that easy!”

“Rikkai University is missing the minister, Yukimura Seiichi!”

“Hyotei suffered a crushing defeat against Fudomine at the Metropolitan Conference! The intensity of training will definitely be greatly increased!”

“From the Ice Emperor players just now, I felt the fighting spirit and confidence that came from their hearts!”

“It’s probably too early to draw a conclusion about the outcome between them and Rikkai University!” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

A few minutes later, some students from various schools who were watching the game outside the park had also entered the park.

Their purpose was to occupy the best viewing position for the first game in advance.

As the street corner turned, a team of”black army” appeared.[]

“Fudo Peak!!”

“Fudomine Junior High School is here!!”

“Former Youth School President Kunimitsu Tezuka!!”

“Kyushu’s duo of heroes, Tachibana Yoshihei!!”

“The bad beast Akutsu Jin!!”

“That red-haired boy must be the first-year genius with extraordinary strength, Kintaro Toyama, right?!”

“Akira Kamio, Shinji Ibu, Tetsu Ishida! Players with unique characteristics in speed, skills and strength!”

“The most important thing is……The man who leads this team!!”

“Northern Xinjiang……I don’t know if he will play today! He played a coaching match with Yamabuki Junior High School’s ace Sengoku Kiyosumi at the metropolitan tournament!”

“I’m so jealous! It would be great if a national-level player could play a game of coaching with me!”

“Don’t say it, I’m envious too! But there are only a handful of national-level players in the entire Japanese junior high school world! Even if the senior has this ability, he still needs to train!”

“……”

Everyone present looked at the Fudomine team led by Kitakami with different expressions.

The only thing in common was that they all knew that Fudomine Junior High School must be one of the favorites to win the Kanto Conference this year.

In fact, in the absence of Rikkai University President Yukimura Seiichi, Fudomine’s hope of winning the championship is even higher.

In the crowd, there were also some members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club.

Their eyes looking at Kitakami were full of fear.

The scene of Kitakami hitting Kirihara Akaya out of the demonized state yesterday was still fresh in their memory.

Shiba Saori also pressed the shutter of the camera towards Kitakami and others.

“Mr. Inoue, why do I feel like players like Fudomine have become even stronger?”

“Is it because I am too sensitive?”

After watching Kitakami and the others walk into the park, Shiba Saori put down the camera and spoke to Inoue Mamoru beside her.

The latter shook his head with a slightly emotional look on his face.

“No! Saori, I’m afraid your feeling is right!”

“More than half a month has passed since the Metropolitan Conference, and Fudomine’s training has been very mysterious! They are in the golden age of improving their strength, and it is unimaginable how much they have improved during this period!”

“The changes you feel are the confidence they radiate from the inside out!”

“This confidence comes from the confidence in one’s own talents and abilities!”

“They are at the age when they are showing their talents. I am increasingly looking forward to their performance in the Kanto Tournament!”

Shiba Saori nodded in agreement.

She not only hoped that Fudo Peak could provide herself and Inoue Mamoru with more materials through the Kanto Tournament competition, but also looked forward to seeing Fudo Peak really break Rikkai University’s dominance in the Kanto Tournament and create a new peak for Fudo Peak!

Team reporting office.

After Kitakami led the Fudo Peak team to complete the report, he looked at his first opponent A.

“Otohaji? Tezuka, do you know this team?”

Although the list of today’s groups was preliminarily announced at the draw ceremony yesterday, Beijiang didn’t even look at it.

The Otohaji team was also very unfamiliar to Beijiang.

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded and said softly:”They also made it to the Kanto Conference last year, but were eliminated in the first round of the group stage!”

“Unless they have some stronger newcomers, their strength should be about the same as last year!”

Beijiang touched his chin:”Is that so?……There’s no need for everyone to wait in the dugout! Kamio, Ishida! Take Sakurai and Mori to play doubles!”

“Shen Si singles three!”

“Try to control the 3 games within half an hour, and then go to the center court to watch the game!”

“If you have any questions, you can contact us at any time!” Kamio Akira and the others naturally said that it was no problem.

Sakurai Masaya and Mori Chengde were even more excited.

After all, this is the Kanto Conference. They originally thought that it was good enough to be able to come and watch the game.

Who would have thought that they would have a chance to play in the first game!

And Tezuka Kunimitsu and the others also knew why Beijiang arranged it this way.

It was mainly to watch the first game that started in the center court!

Hyotei vs. Rikkai University!

It was almost 10 o’clock in the morning!

The center court.

Unlike ordinary tennis courts separated by wire fences.

The scale of the center court is more formal.

Surrounded by stepped seats, it can accommodate a good Hundreds of people were watching at the same time.

At this time, the Hyotei cheerleaders and the students of Rikkai University also occupied one side each and sat opposite each other.

It was as if the game had not started yet, but the two sides had already begun to stir up tension.

Students from other schools who came to watch the excitement were mixed in the other two sides, and they did not dare to express their support for either team at will.

After all, the Hyotei cheerleaders and Rikkai University students were the largest in number.

They were all afraid of being hostile to either side.

Just as the Hyotei people led by Atobe Keigo and the Rikkai people led by Sanada Genichirō entered the field one after another and sat in the players’ seats on both sides, ready to start the game

“Look! What’s going on?! Am I hallucinating? Isn’t that Fudo Peak?”

“Yes! Kitakyo! Tezuka Kunimitsu! Tachibana Kihei! They are all here!”

“Hiss!! They are here to watch the game?! Really?! They are not playing in the first game?”

“No, no! Akira Kamio, Shinji Ibu and Tetsu Ishida are not here, and it seems that there are two substitutes missing! Two doubles and one singles……Five people is just right!!”

“My goodness! Does Fudomine have the guts to fight like this? This is the Kanto Tournament! What if he loses?”

“It makes me want to go watch Fudomine’s game! Ah! I really want to know how Fudomine will play the first round!”

All the students watching the game in the audience couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Kitakyo and others.

Is the game of the Kanto Conference so trivial in Fudomine’s eyes?

Same! Atobe Keigo and others in the Hyotei player’s bench.

The same goes for Sanada Genichirō and others in the Rikkai University player’s bench.

The two teams didn’t expect that

Fudomine would come to the center court in person to watch their game in this way.

It was at this moment.

The center court gathered three teams that were capable of winning this year’s Kanto Conference championship.

The only difference is that the probability of each winning the championship is different.

In the audience, Tezuka Kunimitsu sat next to Kitakyo and looked at Fuji Shusuke and Echizen Ryoma in the Hyotei player’s bench.

Inui Sadaharu, the only one in the Rikkai University player’s bench who was not wearing a starting jersey, was also in his view.

“This game can be regarded as a battle between your former Qingxue team members!”

“I am also looking forward to what role they can play in this game now!”

Beijiang said softly while the referee had already walked into the game court.
