So.

During the afternoon training camp.

He rarely appeared, and called everyone in front of him, saying in a deep voice: "You should all know that May is the beginning of this year's new season."

Japan's junior high school tennis league is divided into regional qualifiers, each prefecture/prefecture level competition, various local level competitions, and finally the national competition.

The first weekend of May every year is when the regional qualifiers begin.

Therefore.

Many schools need to select this year's regular lineup before the start of the regional qualifiers to prepare for the competition.

but.

As the overlord of the Tokyo area, Hyotei's model is different from other schools.

and so.

After Sakaki Taro finished speaking, everyone in the training ground, especially the second- and third-year players, cheered up.

"Like last year, the second team will be represented in the qualifiers."

Taro Sakaki looked at the eager crowd and said expressionlessly, "There are eight representatives in total, and three of them have been confirmed, namely Ishikawa Shin, Shishido Ryo, and Hiyoshi Waka. As for the team leader."

Swish!

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's eyes fell on the three Ishikawa people in the crowd.

Sakaki Taro said calmly: "Shin Ishikawa will be the team leader for this regional qualifier!"

what?

Hear the words.

Most people had a look of surprise on their faces.

Yes, Ishikawa is the main selection, but as a newcomer, he has never had any experience in participating in external competitions.

In this situation.

Shouldn't it be Shishido, a third-year member of the team who has been a regular member?

But what is surprising is that after listening to Sakaki Taro's arrangement, Shishido's expression did not change at all, and he seemed to be completely unconcerned about it all.

On the contrary, Hiyoshi who was standing by was visibly stunned after hearing this, and then he subconsciously clenched his fists.

"really."

The other main candidates, such as Ninzu and Taki, who were more sensitive to information, quickly understood Sakaki Taro's intentions.

It is clear.

The other party is training Ishikawa as the future Hyōtei Minister.

Looking at Atobe who looked as usual, it was obvious that the two of them had already reached a tacit understanding.

of course.

No one can find any fault with Ishikawa. The only point of lack of experience is not a problem, after all, this is just a regional qualifier.

With Ice King's dominance over the competition, not to mention the regional preliminaries, it is also the metropolitan competition. Last year, they also sent representatives from the second team in the first few rounds. There was no option to lose.

"As for the other five team members"

Immediately, everyone's thoughts were attracted by Sakaki Taro's words: "The remaining six members of the second team will be selected."

Wow!

Hear this.

The remaining people suddenly became nervous.

The other second- and third-year representatives who knew they had no chance also showed disappointment on their faces.

That afternoon.

The final five members were selected.

Together with the previous three people, the Ice King's team was formed to compete in the regional preliminaries. Ishikawa, a newcomer, became the leader of this group of second- and third-year players.

But the remaining seven people did not dare to show any contempt for the new captain.

after all.

This person was the main candidate who fought in every game, and even a being as strong as Renzu was defeated by the opponent!

Please recommend and vote for me monthly! ! !

Chapter 49 The regional competition begins, the mysterious Mr.

The next day.

7am.

A group of eight people, led by Ishikawa, took a school bus and headed to Akizuki Sports Park, about 5 kilometers away from Hyotei.

Ten past seven.

Several people got off the school bus and, led by Ishikawa, followed the signs on the roadside to the court area where the tennis match was held.

"Hello."

The staff at the registration office who had just set up their seats and had not had time to sit down suddenly heard a voice.

Swish!

Several people raised their heads subconsciously.

Then they saw a tall, black-haired young man wearing a gray and white jacket, with a deep gaze, handing them a registration form.

"A group of eight people from Hyotei Academy are here to report."

"Hyokuei's?"

Several people's hearts skipped a beat.

This is the No. 1 seed school in the regional qualifiers and even the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition in recent years.

just

The young man in front of me looks unfamiliar. He is not Hyotei’s chief minister Keigo Atobe at all!

"I remembered."

One of the staff members lowered his voice and said, "Every year, Ice Emperor arranges for the second team to participate in the regional competition."

"That's it."

Everyone reacted one after another.

Subsequently.

They received the competition list registration form and prepared to put it on the table.

"and many more."

And just after Ice Emperor's players left, one of the staff members said in surprise: "Look, Ice Emperor's game schedule!"

"what happened?"

Several people gathered around to watch, and then their eyes were fixed on the name of Singles 1.

"Shin Ishikawa?"

"Singles, singles 1?"

"Could this be a mistake?!!"

After a while.

The news that the leader of the Hyokui team was a first-year member immediately spread throughout the regional qualifiers.

Some people don't believe it.

Subsequently.

They saw the figures of Shishido and Hiyoshi, and they were even more convinced that this was false information. It was even possible that it was the smoke bomb released by the Ice Emperor himself.

but.

When they saw that Shishido, the former elected representative, was actually standing obediently behind an unfamiliar boy, they were all shocked.

"Who is that guy?"

"This is too exaggerated. Even Shido is following him. Could that rumor be true?"

"It's true. I heard it from my cousin who studies at Hyokui. This year, the Hyōte Tennis Club has a very good newcomer!"

As people spread the word.

The identity of Ishikawa, the super rookie of Hyokui, was also spread in the competition stadium.

Many people came here, wanting to see the ice emperor's strongest newcomer in action.

result.

Except for Hyokui's first appearance in the second round (the seeded team received a bye in the first round), which required him to play five games, Ishikawa never played again.

He had thought about it too.

Arrange yourself in the singles 3 position, but the opponents in the regional qualifiers are not high-level and do not bring much experience. I really have no interest in competing with these third-rate players.

The experience in the regional competition is not as fast as his leveling up on street tennis courts.

After all, he has a 50% experience bonus there!

It is about 20 kilometers away from Akizuki Sports Park.

A place closer to Aogaku and Fudomine, called Shikino no Mori Sports Park, is also holding regional qualifiers.

at this time.

What is going on is the second round of the match between Youth Academy and Yulin Middle School Doubles 2.
