The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 165: The opening of the conference, a replay of last year's finals

During the intensive training of each participating school, more than a week passed by unknowingly.

In mid-June, the much-anticipated Kanto Conference finally opened.

"Yukimura, you don't have to come with us. Just stay at home and recuperate and wait for our good news."

On the Rikkai University bus, Genichirō Sanada spoke to the person sitting next to him in a concerned tone.

It turned out that two weeks after the operation, a few days before the Kanto Conference began, Yukimura Seiichi successfully recovered and was discharged from the hospital.

After returning to the tennis club after a long absence, the other party was warmly greeted by everyone in the tennis club.

Then, Yukimura Seiichi started his tennis rehabilitation training in the last few days, meaning that he wanted to participate in the Kanto Tournament with them.

However, his decision was opposed by Sanada, who reacted strongly and refused to do so no matter what. Yukimura Seiichi started playing in the competition not long after he was discharged from the hospital.

The other regular players also shared the same idea as Sanada, and they all felt that even though Yukimura Seiichi had recovered, his body still needed to recuperate for some time.

It's just the Kanto Conference, they can handle it.

In the end, Yukimura Seiichi, who was unable to convince Sanada Genichirō, had to settle for the next best thing and agree not to participate in the Kanto Conference, but he had to be there in person to watch their games.

That’s how the scene inside the bus came to be.

"Sanada, I'm not that fragile yet, don't worry."

Yukimura Seiichi smiled helplessly. He certainly understood Sanada's good intentions, but the other party was a little too concerned and made him confused.

"Okay Sanada, since Yukimura said so, there must be no problem. And he's just here to watch the game this time, so he'll be fine."

Maya Yuuki reminded Genichirō Sanada not to care too much. After hearing this, the latter sighed slightly, knowing that he was indeed too cautious.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect our first-round opponent would be Hyotei. How did Atobe and his team fall to this point this year?"

Seiichi Yukimura found a topic. Since he had just been discharged from the hospital, he had not paid attention to the situation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.

"Humph, it was because Atobe was too arrogant that he didn't send the regular players to compete and lost to an unknown school."

Sanada briefly explained some of the details of the process to Seiichi Yukimura.

"Haha, that's in line with Atobe's style."

Yukimura Seiichi pursed his lips and smiled, he didn't expect that something like this would happen.

Then, everyone chatted with each other, and after a while, the bus slowly stopped by the roadside.

The car door opened, and Yuki and others got out one after another, followed by the tennis club's support group.

After lining up to enter the conference venue, they walked to the area responsible for registering the appearance list and handed today's lineup list to the staff.

After getting confirmation, everyone, led by Sanada, headed to the area where the competition venue was located.

The first day followed the same old rules. All participating teams only needed to complete the first round of competition and leave. The second round of competition would be held a week later.

When Maya Yuuki and others appeared at the competition venue, they attracted the attention of many spectators who had been waiting here for a long time.

There is never a lack of spectators for Rikkai University's games.

In particular, the opponent in this match is the equally popular Ice Emperor, who is known as one of the top 16 teams in the country.

"Here they come! Here they come! It's the Rikkai University team!"

"I never thought that I could see last year's finals in the first round."

"Wait, look at the Rikkai University team, isn't that the president of Rikkai University, Yukimura Seiichi?"

"What?! It is said that their minister was ill and hospitalized last year. Not only did he not attend the Kanto Conference, but he also did not attend the National Conference." "It looks like he has recovered from his illness. Hiss... Doesn't that mean that Rikkai University is now in perfect form?"

When the onlookers discovered the presence of Yukimura Seiichi in the Rikkai University team, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

Then came the excitement and anticipation.

No one expected that the minister of Rikkai University would appear here quietly.

"Minister Yukimura is really popular."

Walking into the preparation area, Kirihara Akaya put down his tennis bag and looked around while complaining.

"When you have the same strength as Yukimura, you will also be able to enjoy this treatment." Yuuki Maya said with a smile.

"Humph, this day will come."

Kirihara Akaya said confidently that ever since being trained by Yuuki Maya, he found that his strength was improving rapidly every day.

He believes that sooner or later he will be as popular as the minister. This is the confidence that senior Yuki has given him!

A few minutes later, Hyotei and his group also arrived at the stadium.

Glancing at the packed auditorium, Atobe Keigo frowned and led his team towards the preparation area without saying a word.

As for his huge fan base, they did not come with the team at all, but were already seated in the audience seats early.

When Atobe and others just entered the preparation area, cheers broke out from behind them.

Most of the seats in the audience seats behind the Hyotei preparation area were occupied early on by members of the Hyotei fan club.

"Ice Emperor, you must win!"

"Ice Emperor, you must win!"

……

Before the game started, Hyotei's fans started to build momentum.

"Pfft, Atobe's show is still so flashy." Niou Masaharu leaned back in his seat leisurely, joking with a relaxed expression.

"Well, after all, the other party is the captain of the tennis club who commands more than 200 people." Yagyu Hiroshi followed lightly.

The regulars of Rikkai University were not surprised by this scene, and it was not the first time they had seen it.

"Just let them make noise for now. After all, they will automatically become mute once the game starts." Yuuki Maya said calmly.

It’s not that he looks down on Bingdi, but that’s the fact.

"Hehe." Yukimura Seiichi smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but he also agreed with Yuuki Maya's words.

"The match between Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School and Hyotei Academy is about to begin. Please invite the players from both teams to enter and salute."

A few minutes later, the referee took his seat and the seven players from each team stood in front of the net and looked at each other.

Atobe Keigo also discovered Yukimura Seiichi's existence just now. His face froze, and he looked at Sanada who was facing him and asked, "I didn't expect Yukimura's body to have recovered, but can you tell me why he is not on the list for this competition?"

"I don't need to answer this question for you. You just need to know that Yukimura doesn't need to appear to defeat your Hyotei." Genichirō Sanada just responded calmly.

Atobe Keigo's expression changed, obviously he was angry at what Sanada said.

But it was not his turn to say anything as the referee's voice came again.

"The first match is about to begin. Please prepare the second doubles players of both teams. The rest of the players please leave the venue as soon as possible."
