The last competition for the first-year students has begun.
Only first-year freshmen can participate in the autumn freshman competition every year. Invitation letters are sent to all schools.
"Amuro, do you want to participate?"
Huacun Aoi handed the invitation letter to An Shijin and asked.
The autumn rookie competition is held every year and is a stage specially set up for first-year freshmen.
To be honest, An Shijin has lost interest in these opponents from the first grade of junior high school.
He is already ahead of everyone.
"I won't participate. Let Yongshiro lead others to participate."
An Shijin ultimately does not plan to participate in this autumn rookie competition.
Although he does not plan to participate, the autumn rookie competition is a good opportunity for others in Higa Junior High School to gain experience.
The opponents get stronger the further they go, and the opponents who can reach the later rounds are undoubtedly their acquaintances.
Especially for Keith and Lin Xiu, this is a good opportunity for them to see the strength of their junior high school opponents.
After learning that An Shijin would not participate, many people from other schools also withdrew from the autumn rookie competition.
Because they feel that the autumn rookie competition without An Shijin is not worth their effort.
I don’t know since when An Shijin has become the white moonlight in the hearts of these talented teenagers in junior high school.
However, there is another important reason for the withdrawal of Yukimura, Tezuka, Atobe and others.
If they hadn't defeated An Shijin, they would still feel hot to hold the championship.
Seeing this champion will only make you feel shame rather than glory.
This is due to the pride in their hearts.
...
Many players from Higa Junior High School shined in this autumn rookie competition.
The ones that attract the most attention are undoubtedly Keith and Lin Xiu.
After all, Keith and Lin Xiu only joined the Higa Junior High Tennis Club after the national competition.
Both of them are a mystery to everyone from other schools.
And their strength is also very impressive.
The news that Higa Junior High School has welcomed another strong newcomer puts pressure on all schools interested in competing in next year's national competition.
Higa Junior High School, which was already extremely strong, has once again received reinforcements. This is extremely bad news for most schools.
The autumn rookie competition came to an end soon, and after that, there were no more competitions in the first year.
Of course, the end of the autumn rookie competition also means the end of the third year of An Shijin’s first-year career.
...
Time has entered the fourth semester of Grade 1.
The temperature in Okinawa is not too low in winter, which is a novel experience for Keith and Lin Xiu.
It is the first time for them that they only need to wear a coat in winter.
The last semester of junior high school is also the last semester for third-year students in junior high school.
For them this semester is short and sad.
They will leave the school where they have studied and lived for three years.
Inside the tennis club.
An Shijin and Mu Shu were accompanying Akai in the social office, reminiscing about their gains along the way.
Looking at the smiles on Akai's winning photos, he was still a little sad.
He was leaving after all.
"Amuro, can you play one last game with me? A game of Zhuoqiu."
Akai sighed.
There is a beginning and an end.
It was Amuro Jin who invited him to join the tennis club, and Akai wanted to end his membership of Higa Junior High School's tennis club with a game of golf.
"no problem."
Amuro was somewhat sad, and the sadness of farewell kept falling in his heart like a steady drizzle.
The president of Zhuoqiu Club hugged Akai. He understood Akai's current mood very well.
Because he also misses his fellow members.
But there is no way, everything in the world will be dispersed.
A great match brought Akai's junior high school tennis career to an end.
Akai's junior high school tennis career did not bring him any happiness in the first two years, but in the last year.
Akai gained not only friendship but also achievements.
He has no regrets as a national champion.
Akai left with the sportswear of his official team members for the nationwide campaign, and with him all the third-year club members.
Next, they have to prepare for entering high school.
...
The same thing happens in every school.
Tiantianbao Temple.
It's time for Ping Shanzhi to leave.
His biggest regret this year is that he failed to win the Kansai competition. As for the national competition.
It is true that there are regrets, but for Ping Shanzhi, he is not too obsessed with the national competition.
After all, Higa Junior High School is too strong.
"Xiao Baishi, next year will be up to you!"
Ping Zenzhi patted Shiraishi on the shoulder.
He originally planned to hand over the position of president to Tetsuya Hara, but Tetsuya Hara took the initiative to offer the position of president to Shiraishi.
Taira Zenyuki, who understood Hara Tetsuya's temperament, finally agreed.
Shiraishi's trajectory changed.
Shiraishi, who was originally supposed to take over as president from Tetsuya Hara next spring, took over early.
"Don't worry, senior Pingshan! I will definitely lead Shitenbao Temple to a higher stage."
Shiraishi's eyes are full of seriousness, this is his promise and his responsibility.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to a big dinner! Just take it as practice."
Osamu Watanabe patted Shiraishi on the shoulder and said.
Although Zenyuki Taira's departure has affected the strength of Shitenhoji Temple, the future of Shitenhoji Temple must be bright.
Osamu Watanabe has always believed in this.
...
Qingxue.
Yamato and Tezuka stood outside the stadium and watched the members inside the stadium gather for training under the guidance of Sumire Ryuzaki.
Yamato knew very well that he had to say goodbye to such days.
"Tezuka, will you blame me?"
Yamato suddenly smiled.
His words silenced Tezuka.
Tezuka knew what Yamato was referring to.
"No, President. I never blamed you."
After a long time, Tezuka responded calmly.
Tezuka did not blame Yamato because he could feel that Yamato spared no effort in cultivating him.
The original incident had nothing to do with Yamato.
Tezuka was not as biased as Anshi Jin and placed part of the blame on Yamato.
Because after spending a year with Yamato day and night, Tezuka has a clear understanding of Yamato's character.
Gentle as jade, a humble gentleman.
However, from An Shijin's perspective, Yamato is a qualified senior, but not necessarily a qualified president.
As a president, it is important to clearly distinguish rewards and punishments.
But Yamato's indecisiveness makes him look a little weak.
This can be seen from the original Wuju incident.
But Tezuka knew very well Yamato's feelings for Aogaku.
At the beginning, Yamato just didn't want the matter to get too big and affect the internal stability of the Seigaku Tennis Club.
Although this was the best choice for Seigaku, it somewhat ignored Tezuka's feelings.
But now time has washed away Tezuka's inner dissatisfaction with that incident.
"Tezuka, now you are the pillar of Seigaku."
"It's ironic. As the president, I haven't done anything great for Qingxue, and I was even easily defeated by you."
"But I'm satisfied to be able to realize the dream of entering the country with you. The next journey depends on you."
Yamato patted Tezuka on the shoulder with some emotion.
"Don't worry, President, I will definitely lead Qingxue to win the national competition!"
Tezuka said solemnly.
Everyone is greedy, and Tezuka is no exception.
From the beginning of entering the national competition to now wanting to win the national competition, Tezuka's goals have been changing.
The only thing that hasn't changed is his determination to become stronger.
"Hahaha, okay. I will definitely come to cheer you on when the time comes."
Yamato laughed, he already knew Tezuka's courage.
But it's a pity.
How can there be brightness when there is beauty?
Jin Amuro from Higa Junior High School is undoubtedly Tezuka's biggest rival in Yamato's heart.
"Tezuka, I hope that when you are about to leave Qingxue in the future, you can find the next pillar of Qingxue like me."
Yamato quickly stopped smiling, and his words surprised Tezuka.
"This can be regarded as the hope of the seniors. My senior also said this to me back then. Now I just pass this sentence on to you."
Yamato's eyes under his sunglasses were full of memories. What Seigaku passed down from generation to generation was not just the old traditions.
"Yes! I promise you, President."
Tezuka felt a heavy burden called responsibility, but what he was thinking about now was whether Amuro Jin had always shouldered this responsibility, which made Anshi Jin lead Higa Junior High to the top of the country.
As for the pillar of Qingxue.
Tezuka believes that in the future of Seigaku, there will be talents better than himself.
When the time comes, Tezuka will spare no effort to train him just like Yamato Yudai does now.
Let the other party take over the position of Qingxue's pillar from your own hands.
