The bus slowly stopped at the gate of Fudomine Junior High School, and the members of Fudomine Tennis Club got off the bus one after another. Looking at the unfamiliar school gate in front of them, they felt as if they were in another world. However, under Akashi's call, everyone came back to their senses and walked towards their homes with their luggage. The regulars also said goodbye to each other and went home, only Kurasaki did not leave. After seeing everyone leave, Kurasaki looked at Akashi who was smiling in front of him and finally started to ask:

"Akashi! I found that your personality seems to have changed since entering the training manor. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Akashi was not surprised that Kurasaki could find his changes. Compared with other people, he and Kurasaki had known each other for a much longer time. Akashi said in a gentle tone:

"Don't worry, Lilia~ I just figured out some things. I haven't changed anything in essence!"

"That's good, then I'll go back first!" Kurasaki didn't think much about it after hearing Akashi's answer, and left after saying goodbye.

"It seems that someone still noticed it, no wonder~" Akashi looked at Kurasaki's back and murmured, but when he thought of the 1.5% increase in integration, he didn't care too much.

The tennis team regulars of the other four schools felt similar to the people of Fudo Mine after returning to school. One month was enough to change many habits.

It is worth mentioning that Inui Sadaharu and Yanagi Renji actually brought the punishment drink back to their own school, and they even exchanged the recipes with each other, which made the members of the tennis clubs of Seigaku and Rikkai University miserable. The regulars were fine, as they had seen it before and were mentally prepared.

But the ordinary members were miserable. They were completely wiped out when they tried it for the first time, and even other teachers in the school thought that there was a mass food poisoning incident!

Yamabuki's strength was greatly reduced after Mitsuya left, but there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, this training camp made the first-year members such as Sengoku make considerable progress.

The same is true for Hyotei. Even the strength of the two third-year regulars has improved, but these two have already planned to give up tennis after graduation. Their talents are just like that, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make another breakthrough, but they will still try their best in this last year.

In fact, the most valuable thing about this training camp for the four schools except Fudomine is not the growth of strength, but the training method provided by Akashi, so even though the training camp has ended, everyone still continues to use this training plan.

In this way, time quickly came to July. There were only a few days left before the opening of the Kanto Tournament, and all participating schools began their final preparations.

In the Rokukaku Tennis Court, Dad knelt on the coach's seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at the teenagers who were training on the court, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that there were many good seedlings joining this year!

In the training room of the Josei Shonan Tennis Club, the hot-bodied Aoi Hanamura carefully recorded the training data of the members. Various seemingly high-tech equipment and instruments filled the entire training room. This was Aoi Hanamura's first year at this school. She hoped to achieve good results in the Kanto Tournament with her works.

On this day, many people came to the gate of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School. These were the ministers and vice ministers of the schools participating in the Kanto Tournament. At this time, two luxury cars slowly drove in and stopped at the gate.

Four people got off the car, and they were Akashi, Tezuka, Atobe, and Oshitari. It was a coincidence that they arrived at Rikkai University at the same time.

"I didn't expect to meet you at the door, Akashi! It seems that I'm unlucky today~" Atobe said a little unhappy.

"Oh? Really? Why do I feel like you're following me? Atobe!" Akashi said without giving in.

"Time is almost up, let's go in first, it will be bad if we are late~" Oshitari looked at the two people who were about to fight again, and hurriedly persuaded them.

After hearing the word late, Tezuka frowned unconsciously, although he didn't know why.

In the conference hall of Rikkai University Junior High School, there were already many people sitting, all from tennis powerhouses in Kanto, who won their respective regional competitions and the metropolitan competitions and qualified for the Kanto competition.

After entering the conference hall, Akashi and Atobe and the other four parted ways, walked to the left and right sides and sat down, waiting for Yukimura and others to appear.

Soon

Afterwards, Yamato and Fuji walked into the conference hall. Fuji showed a playful smile on his face when he saw Akashi and Atobe who were far away.

At this time, Yamato walked in front of Akashi and said with some emotion:

"This time, Seigaku can enter the Kanto Tournament, thanks to Akashi's help!"

"Minister Yamato is polite. Seigaku entered the Kanto Tournament by its own strength. It has nothing to do with me!" Akashi responded with a smile.

Yamato actually wanted to thank Akashi and Fudomine for giving the first-year students of their school a fair chance to play in the game, but this kind of thing is obviously not suitable to say in front of outsiders, so he just smiled and said nothing more, and sat down quietly waiting for the lottery ceremony to begin.

At this time, Saeki Torajiro, with white hair, walked towards Fuji. When he reached Fuji, he said happily:

"Fuji Shusuke! Long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Long time no see, Saeki! Judging from your clothes, have you joined Rokkaku? It's a very good school~"

"Haha! You too, it seems that you have joined Seigaku?" Saeki said with a smile.

After seeing Saeki, Akashi remembered that he seemed to have grown up with Fuji. Although he didn't have many roles in the original work, he seemed to have good eyesight. Although he couldn't compare with Atobe, he should be better than Sengoku.

Saeki Torajiro

But Akashi had some complaints in his heart. This hair is obviously dyed, right? Good guy, I can understand that Tachibana Kihei dyed it golden, after all, his personality is a bit arrogant, but what does it mean that you dyed it white? Premature graying?

Yamato was also a little curious looking at Saeki who was chatting happily with Fuji. He didn't expect Fuji to know someone here. It seemed that he was also a freshman. Sure enough, many schools have allowed freshmen to join the regular selection this year.

After reminiscing with Saeki, Fuji introduced Yamato to Saeki, and even introduced Akashi and Tezuka. Saeki was stunned when he heard the name of Fudomine.

Of course, he had heard of Fudomine. After winning the championship in the Metropolitan Tournament, Fudomine's reputation gradually grew. More and more tennis media began to pay attention to Fudomine, the dark horse. He just didn't expect that Fudomine's minister actually knew Fuji.

However, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Akashi. Akashi's gentle temperament made him feel quite good about it, but if he met Fudomine in this competition, he probably wouldn't think so.

While everyone was chatting with each other, Yukimura, Sanada and Yanagi Renji finally arrived at the council hall. After seeing the regulars of Rikkai University, other schools stopped talking. After all, the title of Kanto Thirteen Consecutive Champions was there.

Yukimura and his friends didn't care about the reactions of other schools. They walked straight to Akashi and his friends and said with a smile:

"Welcome Akashi to Rikkai University. Tezuka, Fuji, and Minister Yamato also welcome you~"

"You're so polite, Yukimura. By the way, are you okay?" Akashi also said with a smile.

"There's no problem at all. I just need regular checkups. Speaking of this, it's really thanks to Akashi~" Until now, Yukimura is still grateful to Akashi.

Although Tezuka and his friends were a little curious about what Akashi and Yukimura were talking about, they didn't ask. If they wanted to tell them, they would naturally tell them.

"Tezuka, let's fight it out in the Kanto Tournament this time!" Sanada's face was still serious.

"You are welcome anytime! Let's go all out, Sanada!" Tezuka responded seriously.

Fuji and Yamato are used to it. It's not the first time that the two have said this during the training camp. They even fought each other. Even though no one knows the result, looking at Sanada's expression at the time, it is likely that he lost.

However, Saeki on the side was a little curious. It seemed that the vice-ministers of Rikkai University and Fudomine knew each other and had a great relationship. He would not doubt the strength of Rikkai University. Seeing that Fudomine was indeed as mysterious as the rumors outside, it was a little bit~

After everyone arrived, not long after, the staff of the Tennis Association in charge of the draw ceremony walked up to the podium and announced the official start of the draw ceremony. At the same time, someone brought up the draw box.

On the other side, a blackboard with a map of the Kanto Tournament was also pushed up, but now all the school names were empty.

Akashi was a little curious. He remembered that in the original story, Seigaku met Hyotei in the first round and eliminated Hyotei. If it weren't for the national competition being held in Tokyo, Hyotei probably wouldn't even be qualified to participate in the national competition.

But that was the original story after all, and it was two years later. It shouldn't be the same now.

It's just a coincidence. Even if they really meet, the probability of Seigaku winning is not high.

Sure enough, Seigaku and Hyotei did not meet in the first game this time, and they were not even in the same zone. It seems that Fuji's luck is much better than Oishi. Oishi's luck is really amazing. In the draw ceremony of the U17 World Cup exhibition match, he actually drew the German team directly. No one else can do that.

After Akashi went on stage to complete the draw, he looked at the distribution area of ​​Fudomine. They were all some supporting schools, probably at the same level as Ginka. Only one school left him with a little impression, and his name was - Jounari Shonan!

Akashi's impression of this school is only that the coach has a good figure. As for the players, it's just so-so. Of course, Akashi has no idea about Hanamura Aoi. Women will only affect his batting speed.

In addition, when it comes to Jounari Shonan, Akashi suddenly thought of Wakato Hiroshi. If he were to play against the current Nioh, he would probably doubt his life directly! Akashi thought with some evil taste.

With the completion of the draw ceremony, the results of the Kanto tournament have been announced. Akashi took a look and laughed with amusement. Wow, Fudomine, Rikkai University, Hyotei, and Seigaku are all in four different areas. Yamabuki is in a worse situation, being assigned to the first area of ​​Rikkai University.

Rokkaku Junior High School is also assigned to the same area as Seigaku. Hyotei is the easiest, being basically a supporting role school. The top four are already secured, which means that they have obtained the qualification to participate in the national tournament in advance. Atobe looked at the distribution map with a disdainful smile on his face.

Yukimura and Sakata Kuri looked at each other, their expressions were different. Yukimura smiled with confidence, while Sakata Kuri smiled a little bitterly. I didn't expect that Yamabuki had such bad luck this time. If Mitsuya was still there, there might be some hope, but now it seems that it is probably hanging.

Fuji and Saeki on the other side also smiled at each other, with encouraging eyes. Minister Yamato was a little excited. This year, Seigaku has a high probability of entering the national competition. After returning, he can ask Inui Sadaharu to analyze the specific probability. It is so rare. After almost three years, he can finally realize his dream.

The draw ceremony officially ended, and representatives from various schools left one after another. Akashi and others said hello to Yukimura and got in the car and left. In five days, the Kanto competition will open.
