Chapter 5

（…… Senior sister, is this the level you can play when you are playing seriously?! This is the whole process of watching, the seniors of the mahjong department after playing mahjong that afternoon, counting the feelings in their hearts. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's not that the seniors are too strong to amaze her. On the contrary, in the view of Shuhua, the strength of the predecessors ...... In addition to Asai Yao, who is the head of the mahjong department, can still be seen, the other three are just "barely qualified".

So what level is this? For example...... it is the kind of character that will be eliminated on the first day of the individual battle in the prefecture.

And it's the kind that doesn't have to finish the last few games on the first day to know that it's hopeless.

For the strength of the senior sisters, Xilu also felt very disappointed. Because none of the other three except the minister could compete with her.

Yes, except for shallow wells.

After Asai wanted to see that Xilu's strength was not simple and went out in person, Xilu had to put on headphones and fight against Asai with all her might. However, Xilu understands that she is still slightly worse than Asai.

Although the strength of the other three in the mahjong club is weak enough, Asai Yao, as the minister, is a good player who is even stronger than Xilu today, which makes Shue and Xilu more satisfied. The two of them glanced at each other, and they both showed a smile that meant "okay".

However, just when Shue was wondering if she should also use a slightly stronger strength to "compete" for a seat in the main election, the words of the senior sisters dispelled her thoughts.

"Great! In this way, we even have the number of people who will attend the group battle in the prefecture! One of the senior sisters, A (these three soy sauce seniors are not going to give names), said.

And another senior sister B also nodded in agreement: "Ha, if that's the case, then Kokurayama is the first non-third-grade player in our mahjong club to compete in the county's team competitions several times!" ”

"Uh-huh, that's right!" Hearing Senior Sister B's words, Senior Sisters A and C agreed. However, what the three of them didn't see was the tangled and embarrassed expression that suddenly appeared on Asai Yasu's face.

……

After hearing the conversation between the seniors, Shue and Xilu, who decisively felt that something was wrong, glanced at each other, and then asked the seniors, "That, senior, may I ask what does this 'first non-third-year player' ......mean?" ”

Senior Sister A replied very happily: "Ah, this is the literal meaning, huh? In other words, in previous years, the number of third-year students was enough to form a team. So no junior has been selected for the competition! ”

Senior Sister B added the last sentence: "Because the tradition of our school has always been to give priority to the senior grades!" ”

……

Yes, this time Shue and Xilu have understood.

――Don't look at the mahjong club in Shangsong, which has perfect facilities, and has reached the finals in the county in the past two years; The posture of a giant team. But in reality, the selection system here is still backward.

Because there is no strong team, the players are selected according to age and grade, not strength.

In other words, one of them, Shue and Xilu, will not be able to make the main election this year - under such a selection system.

……

After hearing the words of the senior sisters, the two subconsciously looked at Asai Yao as the minister, and Asai Yao was slightly embarrassed, but finally twisted away and nodded. Meaning it is.

"Huh...... Hehe. After seeing Asai Yasu's nod, Shue was silent for a moment, and then chuckled twice in an uncertain voice. And it was at this time that Xilu was ready to say something to the seniors.

"Seniors, that, in fact, the ...... of Shuhua" Xilu wants to say that in fact, Shuhua's strength is stronger than her, so she should give up her qualifications for the main selection. However, Shue stopped her and whispered in her ear, "Go ahead, Xilu...... Now that you are doing so, it is necessary to add some practical experience. I'm not in a hurry, we still have two years, don't we? Let's go get stronger......"

And then......

The club activities of Shue and Xilu in the first year of entering the mahjong club of Kamimatsu Middle School began.

―――――――――――――――― dividing line

“…… Looking for us for something? Minister? ”

At the end of the day's club activities, Shue asked the head of the mahjong department who had left her and Xilu behind.

Asai hesitated for a moment before asking, "Well, I think, you all have the strength of Nanura and Ogurayama, which is higher than the strength of the other three seniors in the third year except me...... Right? Asai Yasu's eyes were very serious.

“…… Oh? Shue raised an eyebrow in surprise. However, she only asked Asai for two words: "Why?" ”

"Intuitively...... And the strength of the three of them is like that, if Nanura-san and Okurayama-san have similar strength, then they must be higher than them. "Contrary to the expectations of the two, Asai is going to be a sincere person.

Then, Asai smiled slightly: "Moreover, your expression also tells me a lot of things - when I was watching with you, your expression made me detect some clues, and when I played the game myself, during the shuffle time of each game, I secretly observed you, Nanpu-san?" ”

......Hearing this, Nanpu's face changed slightly, but he didn't speak, just silent.

Asai continued: "I saw it, after confirming their strength, Nanpu-san was still caught by me, although it was hidden, and there was a slight puzzled expression in his eyes - Nanura-san's expression was not obvious, but I was always confirmed, so I finally found out." ”

"......" heard this, and Shuhua was speechless.

Because at that time, she was really looking down on the three senior sisters in her heart, and she also felt a little confused - is such a weak guy really a third-grader in one of the top four teams in the county? And there are three more such characters as soon as they come? You know, this club looks like there are only four of them?

If that's the case, how did Uematsu make it to the top four in the prefecture last year and the year before that?

Then, after seeing the strength of Asai and hearing what the seniors said about "the tradition of personnel selection...... She understood—just a third-year student at Kamimatsu Academy this year, who happened to be the weakest in a few years.

And the words of the first two years...... Asai said with a wry smile that it was just because the two teams that represented the academy in those two years and the two batches of national students, no matter which one they were, reached the level of the top four in the county in terms of team strength.

But Asai also let out a long sigh when he said this, and said in a tone full of unwillingness: "Don't look at the highest score of our academy, which is the top four in the county...... But if we had fielded the strongest squad in that tournament two years ago, then we have a lot of hope that we will be able to impact the whole country. ”

Hearing Asai's unwilling words, Shue and Xilu were silent. Asai meant that they understood that if the team of that year was a third-year student and a second-year student of that year, they would be able to form a "star team". And in this way, the combat effectiveness of the team will probably be higher than that of the team that year?

Therefore, not selecting the top five players in the school to form a team to participate in the competition is a somewhat fatal act, right? (Five cents means that this is definitely not complaining about Shiraitodai...... ）

“…… I'm not too interested in the things of my seniors...... Now I have one more question that I would like to ask. After taking a deep breath, Shue asked Asui, who was a little depressed, "What about those second-graders who were supposed to be?" Why haven't I seen anyone? ”
