Legendary tennis, starting from signing up to talent

After hanging up the phone.

Looking at the postcard that Kitagawa had sent on the table, it was a group photo of him and everyone from Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School.

Brand sighed softly with a hint of pampering.

"Bonds..."

"What a magical existence~!"

But he didn't think that this kind of bond would bind Kitagawa.

On the contrary.

This kind of friendship and youthful bond would also give him encouragement and support to reach the top.

Slowly getting up, Brand walked to the window and looked at the children playing in the manor.

His eyes were filled with gentle light.

......

And Kitagawa.

"What's coming will eventually come~"

"I don't know how many companions will be around me when I go further and further?"

Putting away the phone, he looked at the direction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference.

Kitagawa couldn't help but sigh.

He would probably not choose the Neon U-17 training camp.

Otherwise, he would not have thought of poaching Mifune Nyudo to his own training base in Japan.

As for why he was reluctant to choose the U-17 training camp in Japan.

First.

Japanese tennis is already on the decline, and giving it a brilliant honor may accelerate the progress of this trend.

Because of the respect for predecessors here, the previous Seishun Academy is just a microcosm, and many places are actually in the same state as the original Seishun Academy.

The appearance of the samurai Echizen Nanjiro can make others feel inflated, not to mention what the U-17 World Cup champion will bring.

Second.

Among the high school players, the generation of Byodoin Phoenix and Oni Jujiro will inevitably leave the training camp due to age issues after this U-17 World Cup.

On the other hand, the talent of the next generation has obviously shrunk significantly.

The only high school students who are still left are Fuwa Tetsuto, Mitsugaya Akuto, Mori Jusaburo, Yamato Yuta, Taira Yoshiyuki, Hara Tetsuya, Tokugawa Kazuya and others.

Among the junior high school players, the number of players after Tezuka Kunimitsu, Atobe Keigo and others has also shrunk significantly.

It can be said that each generation is worse than the previous one.

In this state, even if they win the championship, it will only be a flash in the pan.

Finally.

Kitagawa can't think of what will make him grow and become stronger if he enters the Neon U-17 training camp.

As for the Free Country, Australia and France.

Kitagawa doesn't have much idea.

Echizen Ryoma will go to the Free Country U-17 training camp. If he goes there, he may be abused and troubled every day.

He doesn't like the Australian U-17 training camp. Otherwise, how did the blind military advisor appear?

The French U-17 training camp can't stand that kind of "art and romance".

"After all the twists and turns, we still have to go back to Switzerland~"

Laughing leisurely.

Then Kitagawa strode towards the beverage vending machine.

And at this moment.

Behind a big tree not far away.

A white-haired teenager was standing there quietly with his hands in his pockets.

"Switzerland...?"

His eyes flashed.

Akutsu, who had come out to use the bathroom, slowly walked out from behind the big tree.

Looking at Kitagawa walking away from a distance, a rebellious smile slightly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then.

He walked leisurely towards the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament Stadium.

......

At this moment.

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament Stadium.

On the side of the Seigakuen team.

"Eh?"

"Why is Fuji-senpai back again?"

Momoshiro Takeshi was the first to discover Fuji Shusuke running back with a ball bag on his back and a smile on his face.

"Hiss——"

"Forgot to bring something?"

Haido Xun, who had wiped the racket in his hand eight hundred times, twisted his face and guessed in a deep voice.

"It should be that the tennis captain of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, Kitagawa, said something to him."

"What a mysterious existence."

"First it was Fudomine Academy Tennis Captain Tachibana Kippei, and then it was Fuji."

Inui Sadaharu was paying attention to the game on the court, recording the opponent's player data, and paying attention to the situation of the group of people from Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School in the audience.

The whole person was even more serious than during the hellish training before the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference.

"Inui's expression is really scary!"

Kawamura Takashi looked at Inui Sadaharu beside him, and his scalp tingled.

"That guy really likes to meddle in other people's business~"

And Echizen Ryoma, who was dribbling the ball beside him, glanced at the empty seats in the audience, curled his lips and said softly.

However.

Although he said so.

But Echizen Ryoma was in his heartKitagawa gradually developed a sense of admiration that he himself could not even detect.

"......"

With his eyes as deep as still water, Tezuka Kunimitsu glanced at his teammates.

He then turned back to look at Fuji Shusuke who was running towards him.

"Still..."

"Too lax!"

Finally he said softly.

Then he retracted his gaze and looked at the doubles match that was already at the end of the game.

"Huh——"

"Tezuka, I'm here to report~"

After exhaling a breath of turbid air and calming down his breath, Fuji Shusuke stood beside Tezuka Kunimitsu and said seriously.

"Yeah."

Without looking back, Tezuka Kunimitsu responded softly.

"If possible."

"After the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference is over, I want to play a game with you, Tezuka."

Fuji Shusuke continued to say, with his bright eyes reflecting Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro who were fighting on the court.

Just like the agreement they made in the tennis club of Seigakuen.

"Okay."

He glanced at Fuji Shusuke who seemed to have changed, but didn't ask why.

Tezuka Kunimitsu agreed directly.

"I will catch up with you!"

Fuji Shusuke laughed happily.

His eyes were filled with unparalleled firm belief.

"Yeah."

It was still a one-word answer.

But at this time, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who looked expressionless, flashed a different smile and expectation in his eyes under the lenses of his glasses.

......

Has moved to the Yamabuki Junior High School team in the audience.

"Companion~"

"By the way-"

"Just when Fuji Shusuke left Seigakuen, Akutsu seemed to have left as well."

One hand on his chin, Sengoku Kiyomi murmured with a pout.

"To be precise."

"It should be that Akutsu left after Kitagawa, the tennis captain of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, left."

Tan Taichi, who was more concerned about the situation at Rikkai University, tried hard to lift up his headband and corrected it.

"Hehe..."

"The little wolf cub is about to be kidnapped by a big bone~"

Banda Kanye said with a smile.

But the next moment.

"Stinky old man!!"

"How dare you talk nonsense... Are you ready to suffer?!"

Akutsu, who came back leisurely, was furious after hearing that.
