After learning that his opponent in the first round was Higa Junior High School, Yamato's face became a little ugly.
Back at Seigaku, all the official team members and Sumire Ryuzaki are waiting for news about Yamato.
"Why does President Yamato look so ugly?"
Kikumaru, who was in the first-year team, asked curiously.
"According to my guess, it should be related to the draw of the national competition. That's right, Tezuka."
Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses and said.
"Um."
Tezuka nodded.
"Who is our opponent in the first round?"
Dashi asked nervously.
Looking at President Yamato and Tezuka, it seems that Qing Gaku has encountered a difficult situation.
"It's Higa Junior High School."
Tezuka said after being silent for a while.
"Higa Junior High School!"
Several people looked at each other. If they remembered correctly, Higa Junior High School seemed to be the school where the two people who broke into their youth school were.
It is also the champion school in this year’s Kyushu Competition.
On the other side, Jin Amuro, who returned to Higa Junior High School, handed over the battle list for this national competition to Aoi Hanamura.
"Qing Xue..."
Aoi Hanamura smiled slightly. In the first match, she was able to target Seigaku and show that the results of her combined training were not bad.
Qingxue was a fairly well-known school at the time when Aoi Hwamura came into contact with tennis.
At that time, Nanjiro's reputation was rising, and Qingxue was also a school that many people aspired to.
Many people are looking forward to becoming the next Echizen Nanjiro.
But after so many years, Aoi Hanamura has never seen the second Echizen Nanjiro appear.
...
As the national competition approaches, the atmosphere in each participating school becomes heated.
Even though they have entered the summer vacation, their training time has only increased.
The purpose is to be in the best competitive condition for the national competition in a few days.
The first weekend of August.
Osaka Kansai International Airport has become extremely busy.
Located at the junction of Osaka and Hyogo Prefecture, this airport is the best choice for players traveling to Hyogo Prefecture.
From the airport, you can take the train to Hyogo Prefecture.
nine in the morning.
Hyogo Prefecture Youth Sports Park.
As the venue for this national competition, it was already crowded with people today.
Vendors selling all kinds of snacks and drinks can be seen everywhere outside the park, and there are also many inside the park.
Players wearing various team uniforms added a bit of color to the park.
Qingxue's team was also among them.
Sumire Ryuzaki and Yudai Yamato led the team from the front, followed by a group of official team members.
The blue and white uniforms echo the blue sky and white clouds, and Tezuka, who is at the bottom of the team, is particularly eye-catching.
Behind the official team members were the cheerleaders who followed.
"It seems that the seniors have very bad expressions."
Kikumaru's observation skills were very detailed, and he was keenly aware of something wrong with the atmosphere.
"Of course. According to my information, the chance of us winning today is...zero."
Gan Zhenzhi said calmly.
It's not that he looks down on his own people, but he has a deep understanding of the strength of Higa Junior High School after collecting videos of Higa Junior High School's matches in the Kyushu Competition in the past few days.
To put it bluntly, the current Qingxue...is no match at all.
"Zero? A Gan, are you a little too absolute?"
Fuji narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
"That is to say, I believe that with Tezuka here, we will definitely win."
Oishi nodded quickly, he was completely at ease with Tezuka.
That day under the sunset, Oishi witnessed Tezuka's courage and was already impressed by Tezuka. It can be said that all the first-year students in Qingxue have been impressed by Tezuka.
Sometimes leadership qualities really do exist.
"Tezuka...I'm afraid Tezuka will also meet his opponent this time."
Inui Sadaharu sighed.
Everyone fell silent immediately, they all knew who Inui Sadaharu was referring to.
...
"Finally caught up!"
Inoue Mamoru took a few breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He came all the way from Tokyo today specifically for Seigaku's competition.
In other words, it was for Tezuka's competition.
Inoue Mamoru saw the shadow of Echizen Nanjiro in Tezuka, and he had a premonition that this would be the first step in Seigaku's rise.
Therefore, he must not miss Qingxue's first round match.
Not long after, players from both teams arrived at the scene under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The two teams can be said to have two completely different mental outlooks.
"It's strange, when did Higa Junior High School get a new coach?"
Inui Sadaharu frowned slightly, which could be said to be a serious flaw in his information.
He didn't know what kind of impact Huacun Aoi's arrival would have on Bijia Junior High School.
On the field.
The two teams stood across the court, bowed briefly and then returned to the field.
"The first round of this national competition is about to begin. The Tokyo representative Seishen Gakuen will play against the Okinawa representative Higa Junior High School singles No. 3."
"Youth Academy Tezuka Kunimitsu will face off against Higa Junior High School Jin Amuro, please let both players play!"
Soon, the sound of the start of the game came over the radio.
Maybe it's to increase the enjoyment of the game.
The national competition adopted special rules this year, that is, a single match and a double match are played alternately.
Jin Anshi's three-match singles match against Tezuka also made the first round of this national competition full of highlights.
An Shijin smiled slightly. Before the game, he specifically found Aoi Hanamura and arranged for him to be in the third singles.
He believed that Tezuka would definitely abide by the agreement he made with him.
Now it seems to be true.
"Is he the reason you insisted on playing three singles?"
It was hard for Huacun Aoi to imagine anyone else worthy of An Shijin's respect, but in the end she chose to respect An Shijin's ideas.
"Yeah. Tezuka is a very good opponent."
An Shijin smiled and nodded.
There are only a few people in the country who can make An Shijin serious, and Tezuka is obviously one of them.
"Then I'll wait and see."
After hearing what An Shijin said, Huacun Kui became interested.
She wanted to see how the opponent who was regarded as a very good opponent by An Shijin could perform.
Soon the two went straight onto the court.
Then they looked at each other in front of the court.
The weird atmosphere suddenly spread, and this strange scene made many people look at each other.
After a long time, An Shijin slowly smiled and said: "I can finally fight with you, Tezuka."
"Please give me more advice."
Although Tezuka's face was as calm as usual, his heart was already excited.
Since the JR Tournament, Tezuka has never faced an opponent who could attack with all his strength.
This time he will go all out.
Defeat your opponent!
At the same time, it also leaves a slight possibility for Qingxue to win.
Tezuka's heart is like a mirror, he will be the key to determine the outcome of this game.
If you win, there will be something; if you lose, there will be nothing.
