Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The new year is coming, and the new year is coming.

Hyogo Prefecture, the largest prefecture in Kansai, is formed by various regions such as large cities, rural villages and outlying islands. It has different climates and customs. Various entertainment and leisure activities such as sea bathing, skiing and hot springs can be enjoyed in various places. It is called "the epitome of Neon".

And Makinoto Junior High School, which has achieved an unprecedented two consecutive national championships in the junior high school tennis world, is located here. Today, all school representatives participating in the national competition will gather here for the national competition draw ceremony.

In front of the main entrance of the largest conference hall in Makinoto Junior High School, there is a notice board with the words - National Junior High School Tennis Elimination Tournament National Competition Group Draw Meeting!

Since the training camp had just ended, the representatives of the six schools also made an appointment to go to Makinofuji together to draw lots. Of course, Akashi had contacted Tezuka and others yesterday.

After the twelve people got off the special car, they entered Makinofuji Middle School noisily. Of course, the noise was mainly focused on Akashi and Atobe. I don’t know why, as long as the two meet, they will definitely confront each other. Others around them have become accustomed to it.

Soon, the six participating schools in the Kanto region gathered in front of the Makinofuji Conference Hall. Fudomine - Akashi, Tezuka; Rikkai University - Yukimura, Sanada; Hyotei - Atobe, Oshitari; Seigaku - Yamato, Fuji; Yamabuki - Sakata, Minami; Rokkaku Junior High School - Kuroba, Saeki.

Except for Yamato and Sakata, these people are all first-year players. Such a combination naturally attracted the attention of most people in the venue, especially the representative of Makinofuji, Kitahara Ryota. Seeing so many first-year representatives, his brows couldn't help but frowned.

As the national champion school last year, although the overall strength of Makinofuji has declined a lot due to the graduation of a group of junior players such as Byodoin, it at least maintained its position as the overlord of Kansai and did not let Shitenhoji succeed, but Kitahara knew that was just a trick.

This year, Shitenhoji's main players are all first-year students except Hei Zenyuki and Hara Tetsuya. In the Kansai finals, Shitenhoji seemed to want to train the strength of the first-year students, and did not let Hei Zenyuki and Hara Tetsuya play in the first three games, which gave them Makinofuji a chance.

However, even so, Kitahara almost lost to the first-year freshman named Shiraishi Kuranosuke in the last singles match, which made Kitahara very unhappy. This year, many schools have very talented first-year players, but they only have one acceptable player, Menxiewu, in Makinofuji.

Kitahara saw that after entering the conference hall, there were still two first-year students who were constantly talking. He was a little unhappy and shouted directly:

"Be quiet! Two ignorant brats! This is the draw ceremony for the national competition. If you want to quarrel, go back and quarrel!"

Akagi and Atobe were stunned, and then turned to look at the source of the sound. They found that the other party was wearing the school uniform of Makino Teng. They immediately understood that it was the organizer who wanted to show off his presence.

"Hehe~ You are just a remnant of an era. Who gave you the courage to shout in front of me!" Akashi looked at Kitahara with cold eyes.

"Last year's king? What a joke. You can't last more than 15 minutes in my hands~ Right? Oshitaki!" Atobe also said to Kitahara sarcastically.

Representatives of other schools present began to eat melons. They rarely saw such an act of hatred right from the start.

"You two little brats! Do you know who you are talking to?" Kitahara was almost losing his mind because of Akashi and Atobe.

Atobe turned his head with disdain, ignored Kitahara's meaning, and walked straight to an empty seat next to him, sat down unscrupulously, supported his head with one hand, and looked at the people present with interest.

Akashi slowly walked in front of Kitahara and said in an extremely cold tone:

"Can you please shut up? Your voice is disturbing me~"

"Is this the attitude you should have when talking to your seniors? Don't be so arrogant!" Kitahara said sternly.

"Really~" Akashi said softly, then took out a pair of scissors from his pocket and stabbed Kitahara without hesitation. Kitahara was shocked and dodged it narrowly, but a shallow wound still appeared on his face.

"Ah~ You dodged it beautifully. With your skill just now, I'll forgive you this time! But there won't be a next time!" Akashi sneered and continued.

"I said shut up, so shut up.

In this world, only victory is everything. The winner rules everything, and the loser is denied everything. So far, I have never lost to others in anything, and I will never lose in the future~ I am victorious, everything is right! "

"People who resist me, even parents will not forgive!" Akashi said the most terrifying words in the most calm tone. Kitahara on the opposite side was completely shocked and couldn't say a word.

Akashi Seijuro

Other people around were also shocked by Akashi's actions, even Tezuka and others were no exception. The only one who didn't show surprise was Atobe. He knew Akashi's temper very well. Although he has been much gentler recently, it doesn't mean that anyone can be presumptuous in front of Akashi.

"Is this the new minister of the Kanto overlord Fudomine? Akashi Seijuro~ It's really interesting!" The representative of Rokurigao said with a smile.

"Is this really the same first grade as me? "Isn't it too overbearing?" Shiraishi said with lingering fear. The first impression Akashi gave him was two words - overbearing!

That's right, the representatives of Shitenhoji this time are not Taira Yoshiyuki and Hara Tetsuya, but Taira Yoshiyuki and Shiraishi. It seems that they have begun to slowly cultivate Shiraishi.

Akashi looked at Kitahara who was silent in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, then turned away, came to Tezuka, and sat down slowly. The atmosphere in the conference hall was very depressing because of what happened just now.

Fortunately, at this time, the staff of the Tennis Association found that everyone was there, and hurriedly came up to announce the start of the draw ceremony. Although he had just seen Akashi's behavior, considering Akashi's background, he didn't dare to offend him too much, so he could only turn a blind eye.

The eight seeded schools of this national competition were immediately The schools announced are Makinofuji, Rikkai University, Hyotei, Fudomine, Shishigaku, Maikozaka, Nagoya, and Kabuto.

Seigaku and Shitenhoji were not listed as seed schools this time and need to participate in the first round of eliminations. Looking at the eight schools selected, Akashi still didn't understand the selection criteria of the organizer.

However, it is a good thing that Fudomine can get a bye in the first round, at least it doesn't have to waste time on some supporting schools. However, Akashi thinks that the entire national competition is probably similar to the Kanto Conference. This year, the strength of the Kanto region is obviously not on the same level as other regions because of his involvement.

In addition to the Kanto region, the only two that can catch Akashi's eye are Shishigaku and Shitenhoji. Shishigaku's Fuwa Iron Man also has a certain role in the original work, and the mirror pupils can be seen. It can be considered a special talent, and he even beat Yukimura in basic tennis.

Fuwa Ironman

Not to mention Shitenhoji, in addition to Shiraishi and other first-year students, the two legendary ministers Taira Yoshiyuki and Hara Tetsu also have certain roles.

As time went by, the draw results came out soon. Akashi looked at the final event arrangement. The first-round opponents of Seigaku, Yamabuki and Shitenhoji were all minor schools that had no roles in the original work. It seems that as long as Oishi did not draw the lot, Seigaku's luck is still good.

Rokkakuchu faced Rokurigo. I don't know if the two schools both start with six, and they were actually arranged together by fate. However, since the original work did not describe the specific strength of Rokurigo, Akashi did not know what the result would be.

After the draw ceremony The opening day of the national competition is in a week. At that time, all schools will go to Osaka Prefecture next door to participate in the competition. It is said that the organizer of Osaka Prefecture attaches great importance to this time and has chosen the most luxurious gymnasium in the local area as the venue for the competition.

This week is also a good time for the several schools in the training camp to settle down and improve their strength. Akashi also informed Akatsuki of the training method of Shurado at this time. After understanding the specific situation of U17, he is also ready to speed up the improvement of the members' strength.

Of course, Akashi did not ask Akatsuki to start training now, but just asked him to get familiar with it first and wait until after the national competition.

This training camp has completely stabilized the strength of Mu Te at the national level, and it is not as simple as the ordinary national level. He can barely hit the dark shot, but the power is still a little unsatisfactory.

Tezuka can already freely open the seamless, which makes Chitose extremely envious, but he and Kihei Tachibana can also use the beast synchronization skillfully.

As for Kurasa, he is constantly working hard to improve the power of the Whirlpool Baptism. In addition, he also took the time to master the Light Shot, but the power is still not comparable to Akutsu.

Akashi is still very satisfied with everyone's progress. I believe that when the plot begins, everyone's strength will definitely make Ryoma doubt his life. Akashi really wants to see

Let's see if Ryoma can still say that sentence - Mada Mada Ouchi~

A week later, on the central court of Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium, the organizers of the national competition were making final preparations for the opening ceremony. All participating schools had arrived and were waiting to appear on stage.

Soon after, the staff of the organizer began to arrange for all school players to enter the court one by one. The first to enter was last year's national champion Makino Fuji. Kitahara walked towards the court with a gloomy look, and there was no trace of the scar left by Akashi on his face.

Then, Maikosaka, Rikkai University, Hyotei and other top eight schools last year appeared one by one, and then it was Fudomine's turn, and Seigaku was even arranged at the end.

Then the representative of the organizer spoke. After a long and clichéd talk, the opening ceremony finally ended with everyone's drowsy expressions.

Since Fudomine did not have a game in the first round, everyone began to observe the specific strength of other schools. Akashi came to the competition venue of Shitenhoji to see how strong Shiraishi is now.

Unfortunately, the opposing school was too weak, and Shiraishi defeated the opponent very easily, and Akashi was unable to collect complete information. However, Shiraishi's general strength was still seen by the Eye of the Emperor.

In addition, Ishida Gin had developed the wave ball at this stage, but it should be only the most basic one. It has not yet advanced to the 108th style, and the wave ball has not been completely mastered.

Akashi has planned to improve Shiraishi and Ishida Gin after the national competition. He is looking forward to what it will be like if Ishida Gin can compete with Duke head-on. However, even Akashi is not sure whether Duke will join the Neon team this time.

The first round of the game ended quickly, and the winning team basically did not exceed Akashi's expectations, except for Rokurigao. Yes, Rokkakuchu lost in the first round, and Akashi was convinced. After intensive training, they still couldn't escape the fate of being eliminated in the first round of the national competition.

However, looking at the old man's appearance, he didn't take it to heart at all, and still drank hot tea calmly. Instead, the people in Rokkakuchu lowered their heads in frustration, and were comforted by the old man in return.

Akashi didn't quite understand his father's coaching philosophy, but this didn't stop him from respecting his father. This was an old man who wanted his children to like tennis from the bottom of his heart, and he really made his players enjoy tennis simply without caring too much about winning or losing the game.

Fudomine's next opponent is Shimizu, a school affiliated to Joshuin University, a supporting school that no one has ever heard of. It seems that Fudomine can easily enter the quarterfinals.

After a short lunch break, the second round of the game started soon. Although many schools complained that they had just played a round of games in the morning, but they had no opponents to consume in the afternoon, which was very unfair, but unfortunately no one paid attention to them.

Akashi brought everyone from Fudomine to the competition venue. The team of hundreds of people made all the spectators make way on their own. This time Akashi brought all the members of the tennis club, and even many students and school executives who were not from the tennis club came to the game to cheer for Akashi and them.

In the past few years, the national competition was an unthinkable event for the people of Fudomine. Unexpectedly, this year, the school's tennis club won the Kanto Championship and became the seed school of the national competition.

For this game, Akashi did not make any arrangements. He directly used the most common lineup to deal with it. However, it was still the old rule. The first game had to play 5 games, which was also hard for the opponent, Shimizu Affiliated to Joshu University, who had to play 5 games in two consecutive rounds.

The order of appearance in the national competition was the same as in the original book. The first game started with singles three, followed by doubles two, singles two, doubles one, and singles one alternately.

There was no suspense in the process of the game. Akutsu just hit back casually, which made the opponent unable to keep up. The singles three game ended in just 10 minutes, which was a very bad experience.

In the doubles two game, Kurasa and Kidou did not use any skills. They only relied on basic tennis to beat the opponent unable to resist, and the audience around them said that the gap was too big.

Not to mention the three games that followed, Tezuka won the game without even breaking a sweat, Tachibana Kihei and Chitose also quickly dealt with their opponents, and as for Akashi, he didn't even play, his opponent surrendered directly, and what happened at the draw ceremony had spread, and Akashi was listed as an extremely dangerous person by everyone.

After the game, Akashi found two familiar figures, Irie Kanata and Mitsugaya Akuto. Akashi was not surprised at all by Mitsugaya's appearance, after all, he was already an official staff officer of U17, and it was normal for him to come to collect data, but Irie Kanata was...

Jiang's appearance was unexpected to Akashi.

However, although the two noticed Akashi's gaze, they did not intend to come over to talk. They just smiled at Akashi and left with the audience. It seems that because of Akashi, U17 has begun to observe the junior high school tennis world thoroughly.
