Upon discovering that the captain of Hyotei Academy didn't seem to have much faith in their Seigaku, they immediately expressed their serious stance.

But won't we lose?

Whether the people of Hyotei believed it or not, the top four of the tournament were determined after the second day of competition.

However, the name of Seishun Academy was not on the list of the top four.

On the final day of the tournament, the last four teams gathered in the tennis park.

"That Seishun Academy isn't all that great. I thought they were amazing based on what they said before, but tsk..."

Looking at today's match roster, Mukahi Gakuto expressed his disdain for the harsh words Seishun Academy had made yesterday.

I thought they were serious and that they really could break in, but it turns out they didn't have the ability at all.

"I heard that during the match, their captain's hand injury recurred, so the doubles team that should have won chose to forfeit, and Fuji Syusuke in singles team two and Tezuka Kunimitsu in singles team one didn't even have a chance to play."

Oshitari reminded Gakuto that it wasn't the two weak ones from yesterday, but rather that they were placed last, yet their teammates suffered such a crushing defeat.

"Well, we lost anyway..."

Mukahi Gakuto pursed his lips in displeasure.

A loss is a loss. This is a competition, and no one will sympathize with the losers unless they can fight their way back up.

"Let's take a look at our opponent's information. This morning's match was against Yamabuki Junior High..."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Atobe told them to quiet down.

Yamabuki Junior High's tennis team also has two first-year students as regulars, but as things stand, they are not a threat.

Or, to put it another way, during this major tournament, Atobe didn't find any school that could threaten Hyotei.

However, they will still take it seriously.

"I've heard that Yamabuki's coach is pretty good—observant, strategic, and open to all new things..."

They had seen information about Yamabuki in the records left by Higashiyama Hiroshi, which spoke highly of the school's tennis coach.

These are the members of the tennis club, who have not yet been recorded. The only one who has been noticed was simply due to good luck.

Chapter 70: The Invitation to a Training Camp from Seigaku

Hyotei wins, score 3-0!

The morning's matches ended quickly, and Hyotei advanced after winning three consecutive matches.

The final match of the tournament is this afternoon. As for who the opponent will be, we will have to wait until the other match is over to find out.

"Now it's rest time. No matter who our opponent is this afternoon, all we want is victory. You guys... Yueren, don't steal Jiro's snacks!"

After the match, it was time to rest. Just as Atobe was about to say something, he noticed that Gakuto had secretly reached out and taken one of Jiro's sweets.

"It tastes good, Atobe, are you sure you don't want a piece?"

Sasuke held the sweets that Jiro had handed him, and after tasting them, he made sure to offer some to Atobe as well.

The cake and pastries today were brought by Jiro himself, supposedly to celebrate today's victory.

"You unglamorous bunch..."

Seeing that even Sasuke had joined in the game of eating snacks and grabbing cake, Atobe put his hand to his forehead and took a few steps back to indicate that he wanted to distance himself from them.

But he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, especially since Sasuke clearly wanted to watch the show.

Thanks to the sudden, seamless cooperation between Gakuto and Oshitari, Atobe was also unceremoniously stuffed with a mouthful of snacks.

"You bunch of bastards!"

The snacks were indeed quite delicious, but that didn't stop Atobe from glaring at them and scolding them.

After laughing and joking for a while, everyone finally quieted down.

After a long time, Hyotei finally found out who their opponent was for the afternoon.

Yinhua Middle School.

This school is quite popular in the competition, after all, they have been winning all the way up.

However, during the afternoon match, Ginka, who had been boasting since the start of the game, was repeatedly defeated 0-0 in the doubles, and when Atobe Keigo, the captain, came on in the singles match, their momentum completely vanished.

"Keigo Atobe wins, score 6-0!"

Hyotei wins this match, with a total score of 3-0!

Congratulations to Hyotei for becoming the champion of the Metropolitan Tournament!

The tournament has ended.

Although everyone knows that the championship of the competition is not very prestigious, everyone is still very excited.

That evening was the celebration party, which all of the more than one hundred members of the Hyotei Tennis Club were able to attend.

Coach Sakaki Taro also made a brief appearance at the beginning, and then handed over the celebration, which currently only includes various delicious foods, to the boys.

"Sasuke, the training schedule hasn't changed lately. When can we improve it?"

With two servings of pastries in hand, Oshitari walked to the undisturbed main selection area, placed the pastries in front of Sasuke and Jiro respectively, and then sat down to offer a suggestion.

"I thought you liked it this way."

Sasuke ate his snacks and shook his head, refusing to agree to Oshitari's suggestion.

"After the initial adjustment period, it definitely gets much easier, but suddenly stopping the training intensity is a bit disconcerting..."

Yue Ren lay to one side, drinking juice to express his sorrow.

I've gotten used to the repeated intensive training sessions, and now that I'm maintaining a stable training regimen, I feel very listless.

It's like a challenge to yourself. You can always find ways to improve, but suddenly you're told to just stay where you are...

I feel physically relieved, but I feel a little lost psychologically.

"You bunch of guys, exams are just around the corner. Don't forget some of you need extra tutoring. If you're kept behind for extra lessons because you failed your exams, I'm not coming to pick you up!"

Atobe put down his coffee, looking at the group of clueless guys with great displeasure.

Their exam results are still a big problem, so relaxing the training pace at this time is to give them time and energy to catch up on the lessons they haven't learned before.

A bunch of idiots. If they fail the assessment, they will absolutely not go to the teacher to ask for help. They will absolutely not go!

"what?"

"Another exam?"

"I don't want to take the exam..."

The players, still basking in the joy of winning the tournament, looked horrified; they had truly forgotten about it.

Even Shinobu was a little confused. They were so engrossed in the competition that they had forgotten about their school exams.

"You guys enjoy your meal. I'm going back to study now, even though I hate tutoring!"

"Liang, wait for me! Let's go back and study together!"

Ryo Shishido and Gakuto Mukahi finished their food with stiff expressions, then quickly made their escape.

Celebrations and dinners can be held anytime, but their priority right now is studying!

"It's just an exam, you guys are really..."

Atobe elegantly picked up his cup and continued drinking his coffee, ignoring the look of disdain on these people who were intimidated by an exam.

However, he was well aware of the pressure that exams put on some people.

In the afternoon, he had already discussed with Sasuke that, in addition to basic training, all other club activities time should be used to give those guys extra lessons.

From that day on, a strange training method appeared in the regular training room of Hyotei Tennis Club.

While running, you have to silently recite the text; while swinging the racket, you have to memorize foreign language vocabulary; and during hitting practice, you have to be asked questions by Sasuke or Atobe...

After a week, the regular members of Hyotei's tennis team finally managed to pass the quarterly exams without neglecting either training or studying.

Having finally passed the exam, the regular players of Hyotei have resumed their normal intensive physical training to further strengthen themselves and prepare for the Kanto Tournament.

“Sasuke, the vice-captain of Seigaku just contacted us, wanting to have a training camp with them before our Kanto Tournament.”

With just over ten days to go before the Kanto Tournament, Atobe received a phone call from Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Regarding the phone call, he only said that he needed to ask the coach for his opinion.

Then Atobe came to Sasuke and asked him how to respond to Seigaku's invitation.

After all, Seigaku and Sasuke are quite familiar with each other, so the so-called training camp at this time may not necessarily be for any other reason.

"Ask Rikkai if they want to do a joint training camp together. The time should be set for the weekend. It would be best if they could come. If not, we can just practice with Seigaku. By the way, we will arrange the place for the joint training camp. I don't think Seigaku can find a suitable place for training and rest."

Sasuke was curious about the training camp that Seigaku had mentioned, but when he thought about the haunted house-like accommodations that Seigaku had found in the story, he immediately felt uneasy.

As for why we chose Rikkai University...

Yukimura had previously said that he wanted to find time to arrange another match so that everyone could play more games, which would help both sides improve.

The two schools are rivals, but whether it's Hyotei or Rikkai, they both have only one goal.

National Championship!

Before the national finals, they had many opponents.

"I'm going to call Sanada."

The thought of playing tennis with Genichiro Sanada again instantly gave Atobe a headache.

But he still called Sanada and confirmed the time and place.

After confirming Rikkai University's response, Atobe called Tezuka Kunimitsu back and told them the location.

With the three-school training camp now confirmed, the regulars of Hyotei learned the news and were incredibly motivated during training before the weekend, spontaneously seeking out opponents for practice without needing to be urged.
