Wang Wangzhi starts from Sharingan

Chapter 261 National Overture

Time passes quickly.

Three days passed by in a blink of an eye.

August 14th, Sunday.

The prelude to the national competition, the day of the drawing ceremony, has arrived.

Ariake Arena, which had just concluded an exchange friendly match between the two countries, once again welcomed Sora Kitagawa and others.

The competition venue is different from the main stadium. It is in a building used for daily needs. In the specially built lottery venue, representatives of the 16 participating teams from all over the country are all present.

Crack~~~

Amidst the creaking of the door, rhythmic footsteps sounded.

Wearing a blue and white uniform, with a calm smile, the extraordinary Sora Kitagawa, and Tezuka, who still had a poker face, walked into the venue and caught everyone's eyes.

In an instant.

Lines of sight with complicated expressions came from all directions and fell on the Qingxue duo.

The venue, which was originally relaxed and lively, fell into an eerie silence.

It's not because the Qingxue duo are so handsome that I fell silent.

It's because the youth selection training just ended a few days ago, and everyone present is well aware of the strength of Sora Kitagawa and Tezuka.

No, or rather, the strength of the entire Youth Academy.

As the saying goes, what you hear is false and what you see is belief. Nothing is more convincing than your own personal testimony.

After nearly ten days of training, one game after another, and one training after another, everyone's thoughts and perceptions have changed.

Youth Academy is no longer ‘obscure’, no longer ‘in vain’, no longer ‘rumored dark horse’.

It is a truly strong team, the kind with championship qualifications.

A special training camp that came in advance made everyone realize that last year's champion Kinofuji Middle School is likely to encounter Waterloo this year.

And the correlation probability is almost 100%.

The goal of winning three consecutive national championships is almost a ‘dream’.

The most powerful contenders for the championship throne have become the 'Miracle Team' Youth Academy, followed by the Rikkai University Affiliated High School with the 'Son of God' and the 'Emperor'.

As for Makito Middle School, which had made bold claims early on to achieve three consecutive national hegemonies, it had already been jettisoned to Java.

Everyone knows and understands the above point, even the people of Mu Zhideng are no exception.

Chiao Matsudaira and Heimasa Murata, who were sitting in the third row from the front left, looked at Sora Kitagawa and Tezuka, who immediately became the focus of the audience as soon as they appeared. As they looked at each other, they both showed a bitter smile.

The situation is over, and I don’t know how far Muzhidou can go this year under the leadership of the two of them.

"Eh~~~"

“I don’t know if the minister will be mad to death after seeing our results this year.”

Chiao Matsudaira, the current director of the Makino Tie Tennis Club, couldn't help but say bitter words.

The 'minister' in the words is naturally the Byodoin Phoenix who handed over the position of minister to him at the end of last year's school year.

Although Chiao Matsudaira himself has many shortcomings, there is no doubt about his admiration and respect for Byodoin Phoenix.

For failing to live up to the expectations of Byodo-in Phoenix and being unable to continue the brilliant achievements created by Byodo-in Phoenix, Matsudaira felt very guilty.

The current deputy minister Murata Heimasa smiled helplessly and could only put his hope on the lottery ceremony for a while.

"I just hope I can draw a good lot soon."

The national competition is special. There is no protection mechanism for the champion and runner-up. All teams need to step forward to draw lots.

In other words, if you can draw a top lottery and have an excellent schedule, Makinofuji can go further.

If you're lucky, you can make it to the top eight.

If it gets better, it might even make it to the semi-finals.

If it's even better...well, the chance of making it to the finals is almost zero.

In the analysis of various aspects, in addition to Aogaku and Rikkai University, there are also Shitenhoji Temple who lost in the Kansai Conference before, Tokyo's veteran power Hyotei Academy, and Makinofuji who competed with them for the championship glory last year.

Kyushu Lion Music......

Yes, one by one, they are all teams that shined brightly in the selection training.

The more Chiao Matsudaira and Heimasa Murata thought about it, the more they wanted to cry. They felt extremely miserable inside.

...

There are three rows of seats in the entire lottery venue, left, center and right.

Medium to large, left to right, small, one is worth two.

Perhaps because of the regional nature, several schools in the Kanto region were gathered together, and they all sat in the front row area in the middle row.

In the first row in the middle row, on the left is the Ice Emperor duo and on the right is the Rikkai duo.

The second row is empty, and the third row is occupied by the Yamabuki duo and the Rokkaku duo.

In the midst of everyone's obvious, secret, or averted gaze, Kitagawa Sora and Tezuka stepped forward and sat down in the second row of the middle row.

"Good morning, everyone."

Kitagawa Sora and Tezuka nodded to everyone and said hello.

His smiling words made everyone laugh.

"Beichuan, it's finally the national competition!"

Yukimura Seiichi said with a smile, his eyes shining slightly.

He would never forget the decisive singles match in the Kanto finals that day, and this time in the national competition, they, Li Hai, would definitely win back the victory.

And after Yukimura Seiichi, Mr. Atobe on the left couldn't wait any longer.

"Beichuan, don't lose before you meet our Ice Emperor!"

However, Uncle Atobe's arrogant and provocative words made Kitagawa Sora look strange.

"Atobe, by the way, who of you will go up to draw lots this time?"

At the Kanto Tournament, Hyokui returned from the ashes and originally aimed at Seigaku. However, he met Tatekai Dai in the semi-finals and was beaten to pieces.

So this time...

For a moment, Kitagawa Sora's inexplicable tone and pointed words made Uncle Atobe, who knew him very well, darken his face.

"snort."

After making a cold sound, Mr. Atobe turned away his eyes. The Kansai wolf Ninzu Yushi next to him, who knew him very well, couldn't help but snicker in his heart.

He took the initiative to answer the question, saving Mr. Atobe from the embarrassment.

"This time I'm going up to draw lots."

At this time, Qianshi in the row behind became excited as soon as he heard about the draw.

"Things like drawing lots are not a problem at all, hehehe."

After completing more than half of the year's schedule, the name "Lucky Qianshi" has become somewhat resounding in the junior high school tennis circles across the country.

"Qianshi, I'm going to ask you for help this time!"

The minister next to him, Nikaido Hyakumon, slapped Sengoku Seijū on the shoulder hard, expressing Yamabuki's hope.

The Hexagonal duo next to them looked at each other a little bit.

"Speaking of which, should you go or should I go this time?"

Akaiichi asked the question to Sabo Torojiro, confused and thoughtful.

After a while, before Zuo Bohujiro could respond, he took the initiative to speak.

"As expected, you should go and draw lots later."

"Come, shake hands with Qian Shi and borrow a little luck."

"Ahem!!!"

The sudden antics of his minister caused Torajiro Sabo, who was about to speak, to choke on his saliva.

"minister!"

The resentful tone immediately aroused laughter in the atmosphere.

...

soon.

With the organizing committee members in place, it was time to draw lots.

"I announce that the drawing ceremony for this National Middle School Tennis Competition and the National Competition will begin now."

"First pick, Kansai representative, Hyogo Makinofuji Middle School."

"Makinofuji Middle School?"

"yes!"

The host's call sounded in the quiet venue.

Two consecutive calls, and Chiao Matsudaira shaking his arms next to him, made Murata Heimasa wake up from a state of nervousness. He quickly put his hands up and stood up to answer.

Immediately, under the encouragement of Matsudaira Chiao's eyes, Murata Heimasa took two deep breaths, calmed down his mentality, and walked towards the stage.

"The first pick in the lottery is last year's champion team, Makinofuji Middle School in Hyogo Prefecture."

"Their situation seems to be a little bad this year."

"It's not a little bit, but it's too bad."

"This year's championship title should have nothing to do with them."

"Yes, Qingxue, Li Haidai... By the way, this year's Kanto is a bit too perverted..."

...

The constant whispers and discussions made Matsudaira Chiao and Murata Heimasa angry, but they also felt helpless and lonely.

There is no other way. Seeing that the national competition is about to start, there is no other way to determine whether it is strong or weak. I just hope that I can draw a good draw.

While praying, Murata Heimasa put his hand into the camera obscura and groped back and forth. He took a deep breath and cut off his hesitation.

He grabbed it, picked it up, and pulled out the lottery number card.

"Makinofuji Middle School, No. 1."

As the host announced, Murata Heimasa walked off the stage with a sullen expression.

Because the divisions of the national competition are the same as before, left and right halves, positions 1-16.

Positions 1-8 are the left half, and positions 9-16 are the right half. There are a total of sixteen teams in a four-round knockout format.

From the first round to the last fourth round, they are the semi-finals of the top 16 with 16 going into 8, the quarter-finals with 8 going into 4, the semi-finals of the semi-finals with 4 going into 2, and the finals with 2 going into 1.

Therefore, it is still unclear how Muzhidou will be lucky this time. We can only continue to wait for the subsequent numbers to be filled.

At least, which school No. 2 is from is very important to them.

Because this will determine whether Makinotou will stop at the top 16, or advance to the top eight in the country, and whether it can continue.

Therefore, after getting off the stage and meeting together, Matsudaira Chiao and Murata Heimasa looked at each other and began to "sing from the heart" in tacit understanding.

"No. 2, Dou Yu, Okakura, Mingshi Kao."

"No. 2, Kuroshio, Tsubakigawa, Liuliqiu."

"No. 2, Dou Yu, Okakura, Mingshi Kao."

"No. 2, Kuroshio, Tsubakigawa, Liuliqiu."

...

Well, it is worth mentioning that the six teams mentioned above are opponents that Chiao Matsudaira and Hiramasa Murata think they can beat.

As for the situation on the Muzhidou duo's side, the others stopped paying attention after a brief glance.

They all turned their attention to the main stage in front of them again.

"Next is the representative from Kyushu, Shishi Le Middle School."

At the host's call, from the right side of the venue, a man who looked exactly like Tōsen Kaname, the Fuwa Iron Man, walked onto the stage in silence and took out Shishi Le's number plate.

"Shizi Le Middle School, No. 4."

As he spoke, the host turned over the number plate handed over to the audience and showed it to the audience.

Immediately, as the words "Lion Music" appeared behind No. 4 on the electronic screen, all the representatives present started talking again.

"Wow, Shishile is actually in position 4."

"We are in the same group as Makinofuji, which means... last year's champion and runner-up teams might bump into each other in the second round?"

Positions 1-4 are group A, positions 5-8 are group B, and so on.

The situation of the game is '1' vs '2', '3' vs '4', and then the second round is the battle between the winners.

In other words, it is possible for Makinoto and Shishile to compete in the second round.

Of course, that's the 'best' situation.

If something unexpected happens at positions 2 and 3, then...

...

Soon, under the host's call one after another, a series of representative teams from various regions came on stage and drew their number plates.

The schedule on the electronic screen was gradually filled in one by one.

Finally, it was the turn of the representatives from the Kanto region to take the stage.

"Yamabuki Middle School, No. 12."

"yeah!"

After hearing the host's announcement, the sun was still shining brightly above Qianshi, while the Nikaido Hundred Gate below secretly shook his fist and grinned.

As for why we have to 'secretly', ahem.

Nikaido Hyakumon, who is well versed in how to deal with people, said that even if you are very happy after seeing the schedule, please exercise restraint.

You should also pay a little attention to the mood of the Kuroshio Middle School representative in position 11.

As an opponent, if you start cheering as soon as you see the schedule, you don't take them seriously.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

Although Nikaido Hyakumon said that he is really confident to lead Yamabuki to win the Kuroshio and advance to the top eight in the country.

You know, there are many benefits after advancing to the top eight in the country, such as club funds allocated by the school.

Woohoo~~~

I can finally get some better equipment for the tennis club.

Immediately, all the people in Nikaitang burst into tears, and Qingchun Qianshi who was pulled back to his side was given a 'shy little punch'.

"Well done, Qianshi~~~"

...

And after Yamabuki with the 'lucky buff', Rokkaku Middle School is a bit miserable.

"Rixjiao Middle School, No. 9."

After the host's announcement, Sabo Torajiro walked down, rubbing his head.

The first opponent in the hexagon is No. 10, from Shitenhoji in Osaka, the new overlord of Kansai.

This fortune is not good, it can even be said to be very bad. It seems that I am not lucky enough to get Qianshi.

immediately.

At Seiichi Yukimura's signal, Genichiro Sanada walked up to the stage and drew the number 13.

The opponent in the first round of the knockout round is Kabutama Academy in position 14, and the opponent in the second round of eight to four is very likely to be Nagoya Seitoku. The luck of the draw can be said to be quite good.

As for Hyotei, the one who took the stage to draw the lots was Yushi Ninzu. Amidst Atobe's expectations, he drew the number 8 number and divided it into the left half of the competition area.

immediately.

This is the youth academy that attracts the most attention.

"Next, the representative of the Kanto region, Youth Academy."

The host's call immediately silenced the entire audience, and everyone's eyes turned to Kitagawa Sora and Tezuka.

The schedule has been almost filled out, and there are still positions 2 in Group A, 6 and 7 in Group B, and 15 in Group D.

There are four vacancies in total, divided into three groups.

Except for the eight people from the four teams in Group C who started eating melons and watching the show with great interest, the expressions of the others gradually began to become complicated.

There are those who don’t want to meet Seigaku in the early stage, such as the Makinofuji duo in Group A—Matsuhira Chiao and Murata Heimasa. Their eyes and minds are starting to get a little anxious.

I kept saying ‘no’, ‘no’, ‘no’ in my heart!!!

There are also those who don't care, such as Yukimura and Sanada.

Rikkai University's goal is still to win the national championship, defeat Seigaku, and wash away the shame of defeat in the Kanto finals.

Under this goal, no matter what, you will encounter Qingxue, sooner or later, it actually doesn't have much impact.

If you can't beat Qingxue, there's no point in claiming the championship.

In this case, whether it is the top 16, the top eight, or the top four, to Rikkai, they are all the same thing.

The loser!

...

As for other things, Mr. Atobe is the most troubled.

At this moment, he wanted to see Qingxue draw No. 7, but he also didn't want to see Qingxue draw No. 7.

I think it's because that's Seigaku, the team he wants to meet the most, the team he wants to defeat the most to prove Hyokuei.

As for the reason why I don’t want to, it’s very complicated…

It's unclear, the way is unclear.

...

And this time.

The Qingxue duo once again became the center of attention, but the old god was still there, turning a blind eye to the scorching gazes.

Tezuka said it was because of his iceberg personality.

As for Kitagawa Sora, it's because he really doesn't care anymore. Sometimes, with his own growth, his structure, mentality, goals, etc. are also changing.

After hearing the host's call, Beichuan smiled indifferently and turned to look at the handsome man beside him who had been keeping 'quiet' (actually an iceberg).

"Tezuka, you can draw the lot this time."

Well~~~

"good!"

After a half-puzzled 'hmm' sound, Tezuka nodded and responded to Kitagawa Sora with one word...

Well, it used to be two words, but now it’s one word.

Tread~tap~tap~~~

One step, two steps, three steps...

Tezuka's rather clean footsteps seemed to step on the hearts of many people, pulling their hearts to beat continuously, and the rhythm gradually returned to normal.

After politely saluting the staff of the organizing committee, Tezuka followed his usual style of drawing lots, which was clean and tidy.

brush!

Under the eyes of everyone, in the center of everyone's attention.

The half-folded number plate taken from Tezuka was displayed directly in front of everyone's eyes by the host.

"Youth Academy..."

"No. 2!"

!!!

"No!!!"

After a moment of silence, Chiao Matsudaira and Heimasa Murata, who were sitting in the front left, suddenly showed confused and dull expressions.

In the midst of the unwilling cry, the famous 'mask of pain' was directly put on his face.

Position 2, in Group A, is also their first opponent of Muzhidou.

Kakaka~~~

Immediately, there was a sound of petrification and drying. In a corner where no one cared, in a place where no one cared, the duo of Makinoto turned directly into stone statues that had been stripped of their light.

At this moment, Muzhidou still lacks a hero who can loudly shout, "I will protect this world."

...

And the other side.

As Qingxue's number plate was drawn, the expressions on the other people's faces changed.

Although the Fupo Iron Man appeared calm on the surface, he was actually frightened in his heart.

Kitagawa Sora, Tezuka, Fuji...

He knows the strength of each strong man one after another.

And if nothing goes wrong, the Lions will meet Qingxue in the quarterfinals.

This battle is inevitable.

But they, Lion Le, are not prepared to take advantage of them.

He cannot beat the Iron Man, and there is no such thing as admitting defeat.

ever!
