"We're leaving too, see you next week!"

Atobe turned and left with them, and the rest of Hyotei waved and walked away.

More than three hours after they left, Sasuke received a call from Kirihara Akaya.

Rikkai University won the semi-final with a score of 3-2.

Moreover, it gave the impression that the singles match almost ended in a defeat.

.........

Hyotei.

"Uncle, did the U17 team send out another invitation?"

Sasuke took the document handed to him by Sakaki Taro, glanced at the information on it, and once again chose to refuse without hesitation.

Hyotei hasn't even won the national championship yet, and they're already asking him to join the U17 team? That's too hasty.

Moreover, the expedition team is not here. Are you suggesting that he go and train alone with Shuji Tanegashima?

After all, Oni Jujiro was still training Tokugawa Kazuya, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.

"They want the championship. They lost the last competition in a very frustrating way because they were ranked too low. Now that they have investigated the strength of the Hyotei players a few times, they believe that you have the ability to give them special training."

Sakaki Taro knew that Sasuke wouldn't agree, but he was just conveying the message; the decision was Sasuke's.

Although he wasn't fixated on these things, he would still be happy if it helped the national team achieve good results.

"After the National Tournament, the entire Hyotei team will go to the U17 team, and I will take over then."

Sasuke glanced at the documents that had been delivered. He knew he had to go there sooner or later, so there was no need to be too rigid in refusing.

The U17 World Cup a few months from now will be his, and the last indulgence for the Icefield team's starters.

They're not professionals, but they can beat professional players.

Even though they will all continue to develop in their respective fields in the future, this record will become a label for them.

It may not be of much use, but it will certainly be of great sentimental value.

"It is expected to be in about a month."

Sakaki Taro calculated the time; the Kanto Tournament finals were almost here, and soon the national tournament would be arranged...

U17 will probably be very satisfied with this reply, since their original plan was to bring Sasuke back when the expedition team returned.

"It won't be too early. I have a strange feeling that this year's national tournament might be postponed for some reason."

Sasuke thought of the Japan-US exchange match in the original storyline, which he estimated would take a long time to resolve.

and...

If he remembered correctly, Sumire Ryuzaki of Seigaku was originally the head coach, but she's no longer one. So...

Who will replace Sumire Ryuzaki, and what about Kunimitsu Tezuka...?

The plot will be completely messed up, and that will be very interesting.

As for the youth team from the American West Coast.

Hopefully they won't be discouraged, after all, they're selecting an elite team before they go on stage.

As for who will be selected in the end, we'll see during training.

At this point, he still needs to work with Yukimura Seiichi to finish the Kanto Tournament finals.

So, should we win the first three games, or...?

Forget it, let's just end it in the first three games.

It's also good to preserve some of Rikkai's strength, since they just put on a show for Seigaku. As a good friend, how could he dismantle Yukimura's plan at this time?

Chapter 125 Taking a Week Off, I'll Take You to a Fun Place

It rained on the day of the Kanto Tournament finals.

"Ugh, what a hassle. I was all prepared, but..."

Kirihara Akaya sat among the crowd at Hyotei, looking at the heavy rain outside, looking completely dejected.

"Kirihara, don't come any closer! Your hair is still wet, can't you dry it first before coming over..."

Yueren reached out and pushed Kirihara away from him.

This guy just went for a run, his hair is almost completely soaked, isn't he afraid of catching a cold...

"Yue Ren, don't push me! It's such a small place, just give me your towel, I'll wipe it off, okay..."

Kirihara Akaya pointed to the towel and told Gakuto to hurry up and bring it to him.

He didn't want to go out and run; it's just that the organizers haven't given him any results, and he's getting bored here.

"Aka, come and have some cake. Bunta made it this morning. We were planning to eat it during our lunch break, but it looks like we won't need to save it now."

Jiro waved to Kirihara, who was drying his hair, and beckoned him to come over.

At this moment, the group of people eating cake around the table included Bunta and Jiro, as well as Sasuke and Yukimura.

"Master, can the minister eat these now?"

Kirihara Akaya obediently came over and sat down. While eating the cake, he suddenly remembered that their captain had always had to control his diet.

"Didn't Seiichi tell them?"

Sasuke turned to look at Yukimura. This guy used to want to eat everything, but now that he can eat, he hasn't told anyone?

"Oops, I forgot!"

Yukimura Seiichi looked up and smiled at the glaring Rikkai members.

I forgot, so it's okay, right?

"So, the minister has now fully recovered and doesn't even need further dietary control and rehabilitation training?"

Kirihara Akaya jumped up, bracing himself on the table with both hands, staring intently at Yukimura.

"It's been fine for a long time. He even stole my spicy hot pot during the last training camp. Didn't you guys notice?"

Sasuke sighed helplessly. These people have always been paying attention to Yukimura, so why can't they see what they should be seeing?

"Minister, you're lying to us!"

Kirihara recalled that before they set off, the minister had said with a sorrowful expression that he couldn't participate in the competition...

They all thought that the minister's condition required further rehabilitation training for a period of time.

"Minister, you've gone too far!"

Apart from Marui Bunta, the other students from Rikkai all glared at him.

"I really can't participate in the competition..."

Yukimura Seiichi continued eating his cake, glancing at the group's irritability before showing them the battle chart that was no longer needed.

The order of appearances above does not include Seiichi Yukimura, not even as a substitute.

"You guys weren't observing carefully enough. I knew he had fully recovered from the snacks the minister had been eating recently, as many of them were spicy."

Marui Bunta looked at his teammates with disdain. What a bunch of idiots, they didn't even know something so obvious.

However, it was quite amusing to see them completely unaware and then being teased by the minister.

The deputy minister's "iron fist" discipline is truly terrifying. Last time he took the minister out for cake, he almost got hit on the head.

"Atobe and Sanada are back. Judging from their appearance, today's match must have been postponed, right?"

Sasuke had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up at the four people who were walking back and roughly understood what was going on.

Atobe was accompanied by Kabaji holding an umbrella, and the young master walked with his hands in his pockets, exuding an imposing aura even in the rain.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sanada not only had to hold the umbrella for himself, but also for Yanagi Renji, who was holding a notebook and whose eyes seemed to be closed.

As the four of them walked together, Sasuke suddenly felt like laughing.

No matter who's around Sanada, he'll always be the one who worries the most.

"Today's match is postponed and will continue next weekend. What are your plans? Are you going straight back to Kanagawa, or are you going to stay at my place for the night and have another pre-match training session?"

Atobe Keigo walked into the pavilion, saw that everyone was there, and sat down directly next to Yukimura.

As for Sanada...

That guy had to go to the other side and squeeze in with the others for a while.

"Then we'll have to trouble you, young master Atobe. It's not enough to just stay one night. Anyway, it's the holidays right now, so let's go back to Kanagawa before the competition next week. What do you all think?"

Yukimura Seiichi turned a day into a week.

There's nothing to do back home. Training at Rikkai is good, but he doesn't want to go home lately.

"If you're all free, I'll take you to a place that provides food, lodging, and training. You can come back for the competition in a week."

Sasuke, seeing that the Rikkai students had nothing else to do, suddenly felt that the Atobe family wasn't anything fun either. Since they were all free, he decided to take them out for a walk to relax.

By the way, let's broaden the horizons of certain people first.

This will make it easier to negotiate terms later.

He didn't want the people he trained to go there and be subjected to mental training.

"Sasuke, I have a feeling that what you're talking about might not be a good place..."

Yukimura Seiichi looked at Sasuke and was certain that he saw the schadenfreude in Sasuke's eyes.

Food, lodging, and training provided?

Could this be a training camp?

I just don't know, is it Sasuke's club, or...?

"If no one objects, then I'll call them and tell them to take a car over there in a bit."

Sasuke didn't answer Yukimura's question. His gaze swept around the room, and he was certain that these people didn't have any other intentions.

I took out my phone, found someone's number, and called. The call was answered quickly.
