The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Yukimura's illness can be said to be something he must experience, and he cannot avoid it with the help of external forces like Tezuka.

It can be said that as long as Yukimura Seiichi continues on the path of destroying his five senses, it will be triggered sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.

Of course, everyone knows that Yukimura will definitely survive in the end. After all, it is required by the plot, and his beautiful, strong and tragic character is an integral part of his character.

Moreover, after Yukimura was discharged from the hospital, he was sent to the United States for a complete cure after he was truly cured. In Japan, they only performed surgery to eliminate the risks, which is equivalent to removing a time bomb.

There is another chapter with illustrations, please wait.

Chapter 39: Yukimura is admitted to the hospital, and all the members of Rikkai University turn evil

The game ended early.

Yuuki Maya and the other two took Yukimura Seiichi to the nearby famous Kanai General Hospital for emergency treatment, and then contacted Yukimura Seiichi's family and asked them to come.

Later, just as Maya Yuuki thought, after the three people described what they had seen, the experienced doctor quickly found out the cause of the disease.

An immune system disorder similar to Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Patients with this disease will gradually become unable to move their hands and feet and will gradually lose control of their bodies. In severe cases, the respiratory system will become paralyzed, making it impossible to speak, eat, or breathe.

These symptoms will begin and peak two weeks after the onset of the disease.

Fortunately, the doctor told them that after the examination, Yukimura Seiichi's condition is now much better than expected, because it was discovered early and the disease is not too serious.

However, because of this, Seiichi Yukimura had to be hospitalized and required round-the-clock observation and treatment.

The doctor told the three of them that if they were lucky they could be discharged from the hospital in a month, but if they were unlucky, they might not be able to be discharged for a year, or even never be able to play tennis again.

Due to the subsequent arrival of Yukimura Seiichi's family, Yuki Maya and the others were no longer needed. After saying hello to Yukimura Seiichi's family, the three of them left the hospital together.

At the entrance of the hospital, Genichirō Sanada said with an unpleasant expression: "Yukimura, how could such a thing happen..."

"Yes, but fortunately we sent him to the hospital in time. At least now we know that Yukimura is out of danger." Yanagi Renji was also in a bad mood, but he still comforted him.

"Sanada, believe in Yukimura, he won't fall down like this." Although Yuki Maya knew in her heart that Yukimura Seiichi could survive this difficult experience, she didn't dare to make any absolute promises at this time.

"The only thing we can do now is to win the Kanto Tournament without Yukimura."

"Then, bring the Kanto Tournament championship trophy and we will come together to visit Yukimura. I believe this will make Yukimura happy." Yuki Maya said seriously.

There are only a few days left until the Kanto Tournament, and Yukimura Seiichi's illness is a big blow to the morale of the tennis club.

"You're right, Maya."

Genichirō Sanada took a deep breath and slowly calmed down: "We must defend the championship of the Kanto Conference. This is what we agreed with Yukimura."

"Sanada, not only the Kanto Championship, but also the National Championship." Yanagi Renji followed.

"After we return to school tomorrow, call the regulars together and talk about this. With Yukimura gone, we'll have to make some adjustments to our lineup for the Kanto tournament." Yuuki Maya reminded, "Yanagi, I'll leave this matter up to you."

"Just leave it to me, this is what I should do." Yanagi Renji nodded in a deep voice.

After the three of them talked for a long time, they separated with different feelings.

The next day.

In the second-year Class C classroom of Rikkai University Junior High School, the teacher announced to the whole class that Yukimura Seiichi was on sick leave and would be temporarily suspended.

In the afternoon, all members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club received the news that the captain, Yukimura Seiichi, was on sick leave, and all subsequent games would be represented by the deputy captain, Sanada Genichirō.

At this time, in the regular meeting room, the seven regulars and the called Kirihara Akari were all seated, but the atmosphere in the room was unusually heavy, with a hint of gloom hanging over everyone present.

Just now, through Yanagi Renji's oral narration, everyone else has learned the detailed information of Yukimura Seiichi's illness.

"That's the thing. The most urgent thing now is that we need to make some adjustments to the roster for the Kanto Conference."

At this time, Yanagi Renji was standing in front of a whiteboard, on which he had already written down what he had prepared in advance.

Originally, the tennis club had already prepared the roster for the Kanto Tournament a week after the Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament ended.

Doubles Team 2: Marui Bunta & Mori Jusaburo

Doubles Team 1: Niou Masaharu & Yagyu Hiroshi

Singles No. 3: Yuuki Maya (The protagonist requested this in the previous chapters, so if you forgot, just look back)

Singles No. 2: Genichirō Sanada

Singles No. 1: Yukimura Seiichi

Substitute: Yanagi Renji

However, with Yukimura Seiichi being hospitalized, this list is no longer available.

"This is the list I temporarily revised last night. Let's start with the doubles section." Liu Lianer took a marker and tapped the doubles team's names on the whiteboard.

"This year, our two new doubles teams performed very well in the regional competition and the county tournament. They worked well together, especially the combination of Niou and Yagyu." Yanagi Renji looked in the direction of Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi and continued, "However, for this Kanto tournament, I will move you from doubles one to doubles two."

"As for the reason, it's because you two have the ability to quickly see through the opponent's weaknesses, destroy them, and quickly win the game. At the same time, you can also intimidate the opponent and destroy the momentum of the opponent's subsequent players."

"I understand. Leave it to me and Yagyu." Niou Masaharu's face was serious, and his expression was no longer as casual as before.

Yagyu Hiroshi on the side adjusted his glasses. Although he didn't say anything, he nodded slightly. A faint murderous aura emanated from both of them.

"Next up are Marui Bunta and Mori-senpai. I've put you on the doubles team this time. Is that ok with the two of you?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely win all the competitions and go to visit Yukimura with the championship of the Kanto Conference." Marui Bunta clenched his fists and said in a deep voice. When he thought that Yukimura was still lying on the hospital bed at this time, his fighting spirit was higher than ever.

"I didn't expect this to happen. Looks like I can't slack off in this year's competition." Although Maori Jusaburo was talking irrelevantly, he looked serious at this time.

Yukimura Seiichi could be said to be the person with whom he had the best relationship in the tennis club. As the captain, he had always been able to tolerate his evasion of practice, which was a treatment he had never experienced in Shitenhoji. Even though he was a transfer student, he was not treated as an outsider.

Just for this reason, now that Yukimura Seiichi has fallen, he, as his senior, cannot let him down. At least this year, with him around, the championship of Rikkai University cannot fall into the hands of another school.

"Next is the list of singles players. Since Yukimura can't play, Yuki will be the No. 1 singles player." Yanagi Renji turned to look at Yuki Maya and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Yuki, I have to cancel the agreement you made with Yukimura."

"Liu, don't worry about it, everything is for the competition." Yuuki Maya waved his hand to indicate that he could understand the other party very well.

In the absence of Yukimura Seiichi, Maya Yuuki, who defeated Genichirō Sanada in the group stage, is now the strongest singles player at Rikkai University.

The other regulars did not know the details of the fight between Yuki Maya and Yukimura Seiichi. They only knew that Yukimura Seiichi suddenly fell ill in the middle of their sparring.

This was also something that Genichirō Sanada and Renji Yanagi deliberately did not mention, and Maya Yuuki tacitly agreed to.

The loss of Seiichi Yukimura alone is enough to dampen morale. If this matter is exposed, there is a high possibility of discordant voices within the tennis club, which is not what they want to see.

"Next is singles number two. Needless to say, it's up to you, Sanada." Yanagi Renji looked at Sanada, who nodded slightly.

"I will be the third singles player, and you, Kirihara, will follow the team to participate in the competition as the substitute this time."

Yanagi Renji lowered his arm that was pointing at the whiteboard and put the finishing touches on this arrangement.

Kirihara Akari didn't say anything either, just nodded obediently.

"The seniors are so scary right now..."

He just felt that the conference room was inexplicably cold, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made his hair stand on end and his breathing heavy.

Genichirō Sanada slowly stood up and said, "This time, the outside world who get the news will definitely think that we are definitely not as strong as before without Yukimura."

"And what I want to say is that in this Kanto Tournament, we, the Rikkai Tournament, will crush every challenger who attempts to peek at the championship with our absolute strength!"

"Let everyone understand that they cannot afford the consequences of challenging the King of Kanto!"

As Genichirō Sanada finished his words, countless crazy black air spread in the sky above the conference room.

……

Chapter 40 Lottery Ceremony (asking for a monthly ticket at the end of the month)

In the blink of an eye, it was time to draw lots for the groups in the Kanto Conference.

As for the location of the draw, it will undoubtedly be held by the previous Kanto Conference champion, Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

The school had already set up the venue in the classroom the day before, and a signpost was erected at the school gate.

"Yushi, we're here again."

At the gate of Rikkai University Junior High School, Atobe Keigo stopped there, raised his head slightly and scanned the surrounding environment.

"Yeah, it was here last year too." Oshitari Yuushi pushed his glasses and responded to the other person.

"Hmph, one day, it will be Hyotei's turn to take charge." Atobe Keigo snorted coldly, his eyes full of ambition.

Tread-tap-

A sound of footsteps came from behind the two of them. They turned around and saw two familiar figures.

Of course, it was the people from Seigaku who played against him in the finals of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament some time ago.

The visitors were none other than Deputy Minister Kunimitsu Tezuka and the unknown minister.

"I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's my defeated subordinate." Atobe Keigo smiled arrogantly, but then he looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu and his smile disappeared immediately.

The headmaster of Qingxue's expression changed. He didn't say anything but his expression became a little ugly.

Because in the regional qualifiers before the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference, he was defeated miserably by Keigo Atobe with a very ugly score of 0 to 6 in the match against Hyotei.

"Buyer, it's getting late, we should go in." Tezuka Kunimitsu reminded calmly.

Knowing that it was not advisable to stay for long, the president of Qingxue immediately nodded and walked quickly past the two people of Atobe.

Tezuka Kunimitsu followed, looked at Atobe Keigo, and left without saying a word.

"Tsk——"

Atobe Keigo looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu's back with displeasure as he left, and rarely said a word.

However, when he recalled the scene of their previous fight at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference, his originally good mood immediately disappeared.

"Yushi, let's go too."

"Ah."

Following the footsteps of the people from Seigaku in front of them, Atobe and the other two also stepped into the gate of Rikkai University.

In the classroom where the lottery ceremony was held, school representatives from different regions had basically all arrived and were sitting in their assigned seats.

At the seats of the host Rikkai University, Genichirō Sanada and Maya Yuuki were sitting there, waiting for the draw to begin.

Genichirō Sanada looked ahead casually, his attention not here at all, and at first glance he looked like he was worried about something.

"Sanada, are you still thinking about Yukimura?" Yuuki Maya had already noticed the other party's abnormality, and he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Well, I don't know how Yukimura is doing in the hospital now." Genichirō Sanada replied in a heavy voice.

"Don't worry, if something really happened, we would have received the news long ago." Yuuki Maya understood Sanada Genichirō's mood at the moment and comforted him patiently.

He was not speaking nonsense. The three of them were childhood friends, and Yukimura Seiichi's parents knew them very well. If there was any sudden danger, they would be notified immediately.

"You are right. Of course I understand that, but..."

Genichirō Sanada was naturally very aware of this, but the worry on his face did not diminish because of these words.

"I understand how you feel right now, but for now, don't think too much about it. Let's wait until the Kanto Conference is over."

"call--"

Genichirō Sanada let out a breath and his eyes became bright again.

"Maya, you're right. Everything will have to wait until after the game is over."

……

On the podium, the staff of the Kanto Conference organizers are already in place and the drawing ceremony is about to begin.

In front of the staff, four lottery boxes containing sixteen numbers have been placed.

After a short break, everything was ready and the ceremony officially began.

The first step is to allocate half of the district to the seed schools.

There are three seed schools in the Kanto Conference, namely Rokkaku Junior High School in Chiba, Hyotei Academy in Tokyo, and Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School in Kanagawa.

According to conference rules, the three seeded schools will be divided into four semi-regions and will not meet before the semi-finals.

"Please invite the Rikkai University representative to come up to the stage to draw lots." The staff on the stage shouted.

"Sanada, it's your turn." Yuuki Maya reminded.
