Chapter 40 The Draw Ceremony of the Kyushu Competition
The midsummer sun is particularly harsh.
It has been more than a week since I returned from Maikozaka Middle School.
Amuro Jin integrated the training plan of Maikozaka Middle School Tennis Club into the training plan of Higa Junior High School Tennis Club.
After this period of hard training, everyone has made great progress.
Higa Junior High School Tennis Club is also moving towards a better tomorrow.
"President! Here is a letter from you."
Just when An Shijin was arranging training plans for all the club members, someone hurried in from outside.
An Shijin saw the postmark on the envelope and knew who sent it to him.
When I opened it, it turned out to be true.
Immediately, An Shijin summoned all the official team members together, and the Kyushu Competition was about to begin.
...
Kumamoto Prefecture.
The temperature here is much more pleasant than in Okinawa.
Amuro and Kute came here and looked around.
As the center of the Kyushu region, Kumamoto Prefecture looks quite prosperous.
The Kyushu Competition is about to start, and invitation letters for the lottery ceremony are naturally distributed to all schools that are qualified to participate in the Kyushu Competition.
According to the rules of the past years, the lottery ceremony of the Kyushu Competition will be held at the winning school of the previous Kyushu Competition.
And Shishi Le Academy was the champion school in last year’s Kyushu competition.
Shishigakuen is the best private school in Kumamoto Prefecture, and it is also a famous school in Kumamoto Prefecture and even the entire Kyushu region.
After entering Shishi Le Academy, the school had already hung banners to welcome contestants from various schools who came to participate in the lottery ceremony.
An Shijin and Bokuto looked like they were from outside, and the only people who would come to their Shishi Le Academy at this time were the players invited to participate in the Kyushu Competition draw ceremony.
So soon someone from the tennis club came forward to ask. After getting Amuro's answer, he led Amuro all the way to the venue of the lottery ceremony.
The auditorium located in the center of Shiraku Academy.
Along the way, this Lion Club member was explaining to Amuro and Kite the buildings along the way and the glorious past of Lion Park Academy.
An Shijin could tell that this man was very proud of his status as a member of the Lions Academy Tennis Club.
But this is normal, after all, Shishigakuen Academy is the overlord in the Kyushu region.
It was through the efforts of elite seniors that the era of Lion Music began.
At that time, Lion Le was the champion of the national competition.
Even though Aura Shishigakuen has now lost the national championship, its strength cannot be underestimated.
They are the seed school for this year's national competition.
The auditorium of Shishile Academy has already been decorated by the Tennis Club of Shishile Academy.
This is the lottery ceremony for the Kyushu Competition that they have held for who knows how many consecutive years, and their preparations in all aspects are naturally flawless.
When I pushed open the door of the auditorium, I was immediately greeted by a series of eyes.
There are already many players from other schools sitting here.
These people glanced at the school uniforms worn by An Shijin and Mu Shou and quickly averted their eyes.
Higa Junior High School is still a very unfamiliar school to them, and what these people really care about is the host here.
Lion Academy.
An Shijin took Mu's hand and found a seat in Higa Junior High School to sit down. When he looked around, he found some strangers.
There is no way, who calls this Kyushu region?
Almost all the people An Shijin knows are in the Kanto region or the Kansai region.
There were gradually more people around, and many familiar school representatives were whispering to each other.
Suddenly the scene became quiet and the door of the auditorium was opened.
A group of people wearing light blue school uniforms lined up from the door.
The contestants from Lion Park Academy are here.
With everyone watching, the contestants from Shishigaku Academy walked along the middle aisle and sat down in the front row.
During this period, they all looked at each other intently, as if they did not pay attention to everyone present.
"Tch! What are you so proud of!"
Two school representatives not far away from An Shijin and others snorted coldly.
Then there was a small chorus of agreement.
Shiraku Academy, the overlord of the Kyushu region, is undoubtedly the biggest enemy of everyone present, so at this moment they subconsciously united.
"Jiping, it looks like we are being targeted."
A person from Shishi Le Academy chuckled at his companion next to him.
The man who spoke had thick curly black hair, was tall and had dark skin.
It is Chitose Chisato, this year's first-year supernova of Kyushu Overlord Shiraku Academy.
The person he called Jiping had long golden hair and a black mole between his eyebrows.
Looks very domineering.
"This is the responsibility we have to shoulder, Chitose."
Tachibana Ji said calmly.
They will protect the glory of Lion Park Academy.
"What a reliable junior, what do you think? Kishimoto?"
Kobayashi pushed Asamichi Kishimoto who was sitting next to him.
Asao Kishimoto, who was the president of Shishigakuen Tennis Club at the time, glanced at Chitose Chisato and Tachibana Yoshihei and nodded.
If nothing else goes wrong, after my group enters high school this year, the position of president of the Shishigakuen Tennis Club will be handed over to one of Tachibana Yoshihei and Chitose Chisato.
...
Soon the organizer of the Kyushu Competition arrived, and the drawing ceremony began quickly under the arrangements of the staff.
The schools whose names were called came forward one by one to draw their own numbers.
"xxx Middle School, No. 17."
"xxx Academy, No. 9."
"..."
It is slightly different from the Kanto Competition. The number of participants in the Kyushu Competition is double that of the Kanto Competition.
A total of 32 teams from eight counties participated.
Therefore, the Kyushu Competition will be held earlier than the Kanto Competition.
"Now we invite the contestants from Higa Junior High School to come up to the stage to draw lots!"
Soon it was Higa Junior High School's turn to draw lots, and Anshijin walked onto the stage with a calm expression.
Many people cast surprised looks.
Among the 32 schools this time, only Higa Junior High School came to draw the lottery with two first-year students, so it naturally attracted more attention.
"Higa Junior High School, No. 32."
An Shijin won the last seat in the fourth division.
Many schools in the same district as Higa Junior High School began to inquire about Higa Junior High School.
However, he was destined to be disappointed. Almost no one from the school present had much impression of Bijia Junior High School.
"Now, I'd like to invite the contestants from Shishi Le Academy to the stage to draw lots."
After Higa Junior High School is Shishigakuen, the winner of the last Kyushu Competition.
Now everyone's eyes are focused on the light blue square array in front.
"Jiping, go ahead."
Maybe it’s because of Anshijin, or maybe Kishimoto is already ready to take over the lion’s banner.
He actually asked Tachibana Yoshihei to draw the lots instead of him.
Tachibana Jippei was slightly stunned at first and then nodded.
His standing up also caused a burst of discussion at the scene.
