The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 24: New lineup, Sang Yuan quits

At the end of the game, Yuuki Maya won the group match, which means that he has now regained his starting position at Rikkai University.

Although the tennis club's tryouts have not yet ended, they have nothing to do with him anymore and he only needs to watch from the sidelines.

After his match with Sanada, the remaining group matches were all completed within two days. The current situation is that the first place in the four groups has been decided.

In addition to him, there are Mori Jusaburo from Group A, Yanagi Renji from Group B and Yukimura Seiichi from Group D.

The remaining four starting spots will be decided from the loser group consisting of the second and third place teams from the four groups.

Looking at the familiar names in the loser group, Yuuki Maya was actually looking forward to the outcome of the loser group match.

Genichirō Sanada, Bunta Marui, Masaharu Niou, Akaya Kirihara, Hiroshi Yagyu, Jack Sanzono.

Except for two unfamiliar names, this loser group includes half of the members of Rikkai University's regular team last year.

At this time, outside the crowd watching the list of tomorrow's matches, Niou Masaharu said apologetically to the boy with glasses standing next to him: "I'm sorry, Yagyu, I invited you to the tennis club and now it's like this."

"There's no need to apologize, Niou. From quitting the golf club to joining the tennis club, it was all my own wish."

Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses and said calmly: "And now, I still have a chance, right?"

"You are really optimistic, but I want to remind you that even though there are still four starting spots left, the actual situation is that this group can only compete for three starting spots."

Niou Masaharu looked serious, and said with his eyes fixed on a certain place: "Because, in this loser group, no one can be a match for Sanada."

At the same time, Marui Bunta, Jack Kuwabara and Kirihara Akaya stood together, analyzing the current situation.

Naturally, they also knew what Niou Masaharu could think of.

"Bunta, let's work hard together." Jack Sanghara couldn't think of any words of comfort other than encouragement.

Before Marui Bunta could speak, Kirihara Akari spoke first: "Hehehe, Senior's position as the official choice will be accepted by me - Wow, don't touch my hair!!!"

"Damn you Seaweed Head, you want to take my regular seat, but you are not qualified enough."

He reached out his hand to ruffle Kirihara Akaya's hair in revenge, but Marui Bunta's expression did not seem relaxed.

Although he is confident in his doubles ability, the trials test his singles ability.

Marui Bunta knew very well that in this loser group, except for Genichirō Sanada, who he absolutely could not beat, the remaining few people were all people who could threaten him in singles strength.

This starting position is not so easy to keep.

A few minutes later.

As Yukimura Seiichi announced the end of today's club activities, all members of the tennis club began to leave the tennis court one after another.

Yuuki Maya and Sanada said a simple goodbye and left.

In the huge tennis court, after just a few minutes, only two people were left.

The two people who stayed behind were Seiichi Yukimura and Genichirō Sanada.

"Sorry, Yukimura." Genichirō Sanada suddenly said.

"Why are you apologizing to me, Genichirō? You didn't do anything wrong." Yukimura Seiichi said puzzledly, "It's not shameful to lose to Maya-kun. Even if it was me today, I wouldn't be sure I could win the game."

"Yukimura, even you have no chance of winning now? Even if you use..." Genichirō Sanada's face was surprised. He knew very well how strong his best friend was.

"Of course, I have taken that approach into consideration, but..." Yukimura Seiichi shook his head slightly.

"Mayo's mental strength is definitely not weaker than mine. When we were in elementary school, we fought until the tenth round, and he was only barely cut off by my sense of touch and smell. But after today, I can't be sure how long it will take for this trick to take effect on him."

"I am no longer worthy of the position of deputy minister. Mayo is more suitable for this position." Genichirō Sanada said in a deep voice.

"Don't you understand it completely yet, Sanada? Maya didn't say that just for the deputy minister." Yukimura was a little amused.

"Of course I know, I just think..."

Genichirō Sanada wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Seiichi Yukimura.

"Anyway, I won't agree, and Maya won't agree with your idea either." Yukimura Seiichi refused without hesitation. "..."

Genichirō Sanada was speechless and unable to speak for a moment.

…………

Three days later, in the Rikkai University Tennis Club.

With the end of the last game of the loser group, all the starting players were announced.

The remaining four starting spots are taken by: Genichirō Sanada, Bunta Marui, Masaharu Niou and Hiroshi Yagyu.

However, this is different from Genichirō Sanada's easy 7-0 winning record.

After Niou Masaharu exposed his "phantom" in front of everyone, he ranked second with a record of 6-1.

而丸井文太虽然以5－2的成绩排在第三，但是却经历了一局7比6和一局7比5的苦战。

Whether it was the match with Hiroshi Yagyu or the match with his old partner Jack Sanzono, he won with great difficulty.

Fortunately, the result was good and he finally kept his starting position.

What happened next was something no one had expected. The winner of the last starting spot was Hiroshi Yagyu, who had just transferred from the golf club.

总战绩4－3，在关键的抢七局中，以76比74，总局7比6的比分战胜了前立海大正选杰克桑园。

"Now, I hereby announce that the eight members selected for the Rikkai University Tennis Club are Yuuki Maya, Sanada Genichirō, Yanagi Renji, Mori Jusaburo, Marui Bunta, Niou Masaharu, Yagyu Hiroshi, and me, Yukimura Seiichi."

As soon as Yukimura Seiichi finished speaking, the remaining members of the tennis club burst into warm applause.

No one was unconvinced. After the competitions over the past few days, they had already been convinced by the strength of the starting players.

At this time, the eight regular players of Rikkai University were the eight strongest people in Rikkai University in their eyes.

After giving some encouraging words, Yukimura Seiichi said at the end: "In addition, in addition to the eight regulars mentioned above, first-year student Kirihara Akaya will also be eligible to participate in joint practice with the regulars in the future."

"kindness!?"

Kirihara Akaya was totally surprised to hear his name in the crowd.

But at the same time, on the other side, Marui Bunta, who was selected again, was not happy at this time, because his friend and good partner Jack Sanzono lost his seat in the selection.

"It's okay, Sangyuan, let's work hard together again next year." Marui Bunta comforted.

However, it seemed that he had already made a decision in his heart. Jack Sangyuan smiled at Marui Bunta with relief, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Actually, this is also good."

"Huh?!" Marui Bunta didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

"I didn't want to tell you, but I'll take this opportunity to confess."

Jack Sangyuan said: "My father lost his job some time ago and is currently unemployed at home, so it's good that I lost my position as a regular player in the tennis club. This way I can focus on my part-time job and help my family."

"How could this happen! Sang Yuan, you never told me this before."

"I don't want you to worry..." Jack Sanyuan pretended not to care and replied, "Besides, even if I'm not a regular, I'm still a member of the tennis club. It's just that you may not see me during this period of time."

"Sangyuan is right, he will always be an important member of the Rikkai University Tennis Club." At some point, Yukimura Seiichi and several others came over.

"Minister..." Jack Sangyuan choked a little.

"You will always have a share of the tennis club's championship. If you have any difficulties, don't forget that we are here for you." Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently.

"Thank you...everyone."

Everyone's hands were placed on Jack Sangyuan's shoulders, and Sangyuan's eyes were filled with reluctance.

No one expected this to happen today.
