The format of the regional competition is simple, with a total of 12 countries, two of which have a bye in the first round.

Like the original book, Qingxue has a bye, and Fudo Peak and the Big Five are on the same page.

The day before the regional competition, Shen Dailan didn't let the Zhengxuan train, took a day off, and took everyone to a dinner.

In the high-end restaurant, the people who are choosing a steak for each person are eating with a mouthful of oil.

Echizen and Akutsu's strange desire to win is stimulated for some reason, and the two compete for food.

Akutsu is a small man, a waste.

Not to be outdone, Echizen has a mouthful of white hair.

The eyes of the two seemed to be able to breathe fire, and they didn't give in to each other, but they didn't dare to fight here.

Shenwei and the others looked like they were watching a good show.

Don't look at Yakutsu's often vicious appearance, there are basically no hurtful incidents now.

I don't know what happened, but the relationship between Akutsu and Echizen is actually good.

Don't look at the two of them going back and forth all the time, but there is a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Maybe it's because both of them have been ruthlessly educated by Shendailan.

"Ahem, guys, I have to say a few words." Tachibana stood up with a glass of juice.

"In the past, we Fudo Peak was regarded as a gangster high school, not to mention the national competition, and we couldn't even make it to the capital conference, but now, our Fudo Peak is sharp, and even the champion of the national competition, Lihai, has begun to study us." Tachibana Yoshihei's eyes were sincere.

"Deputy Minister, I must correct one sentence, Lihai University was the champion of last year's national competition." Kamio's words caused laughter.

Tachibana Yoshihei also smiled and continued, "To be here today, we must first thank our minister, who brought us together, and he also brought so many resources to nurture us. ”

As the words fell, everyone nodded movingly.

Akutsu pursed his lips, but a hint of gratitude flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Under the "threat" of Shen Dailan, his family's life is getting better and better, and his mother's daily workload is greatly reduced, and more and more money is getting in hand.

In the past, he often saw a tired look on his mother's face.

Now, it's more of a heartfelt joy and optimism.

Although he was more threatened to join Fudo Peak, now, he was a little glad that he had joined Fudo Peak.

Here he found his purpose for the future and experienced the sense of accomplishment that comes from getting stronger.

It is precisely because of the extreme pride that I want to wash away my humiliation.

Defeat Kamidai Blue with dignity.

The restaurant is full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Kamidai Lan was keenly aware that Ishida Tetsu didn't seem to be in a state.

Is it because of your own failures?

........

During the intermission, Ishida Tetsu walked out alone to blow the cold wind.

His mood is not high.

He regards Kamidai Blue as an idol, hoping to become a powerful assistant to Kamidai Blue.

He's been training hard.

But.......

More and more people are outdoing themselves.

I didn't even compete for the position I was chosen.

He seems to have become a dispensable character.

I don't have anything but strength, and I can't even use the wave ball that I am proud of a few times.

"Why did a person come out to blow the wind, Ah Tie." At this time, the gentle voice of Shendai Lan sounded.

Ishida Tetsu turned around, and saw Kamiyo Lan's warm smile, and he hung his head in frustration: "Minister, I'm just a little uncomfortable. ”

"It's just a defeat in the main selection competition, just work hard next time."

Listening to Kamidai Lan's comfort, Ishida Tetsu shook his head with a bitter expression: "But minister, compared to them, I only have strength that is passable, I don't have the intuition of Vice Minister Tachibana, Chitose's technique, Akutsu's physical talent, and even less Ibu's technique, no matter how hard I try, it will be difficult to catch up with them." ”

Speaking of this, Ishida Tetsu hung his head in frustration, his shoulders shaking slightly.

"People are very bad at discovering their talents." Kamidai Lan placed his warm palm on Ishida Tetsu's shoulder.

"Strength, technique, physical gifts, are these really what you think?"

"Do you know what you're lacking right now?"

Hearing this, Ishida Tetsu raised his head in confusion.

Shen Dailan's eyes are so sincere and gentle, just like a confidant big brother.

Ishida Tetsu thought of his brother, Ishida Gin, who was also the one who taught him the ball of waves.

Now he has become the absolute main force in the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple.

As for himself, even if he learns to swing the ball, he is still weak and pitiful.

Elder brother Ishida Gin's wave ball has one hundred and eight styles, and he can only be the first one.

"What am I missing?" Ishida's heart was full of confusion.

"You lack the power to control this." Kamidai Lan pointed to his chest.

In Ishida's confused gaze, Kamidai Lan said slowly: "It's the heart, the uncontrollable power is like a beast that is difficult to tame, just like using this power, it is less than one-tenth of the twelfth. ”

"Akutsu has a clear understanding of their goals, and they also have a strong will to control their bodies and use their talents, which is why their progress is so obvious."

"Ever since you started playing tennis, have you ever wondered what your tennis is like? Have you ever tried to be like that? Kamiyo Blue's question made Ishida Tie fall silent.

From the time I first came into contact with tennis, I followed the example of my brother Ishida Silver and learned his style of play.

Unknowingly, he became a doppelganger of his brother.

"Is it true that you want to play tennis?" Kamidai Lan asked calmly.

Ishida Tetsu did already feel something.

His talent in strength is not high, no matter how he tempers his body, his upper limit is over there.

But he didn't have the courage to deny the tennis experience of the past few years, and he was afraid to start all over again!

Admitting weakness is a kind of cowardice, and giving up everything and starting over again is a kind of courage.

"Minister, I'm ......" Ishida's body trembled, his eyes flickered, and his heart was entangled.

Kamiyo Blue looked at Ishida Tetsu with encouraging eyes.

"It's not about denying your past self, it's just saying goodbye to your past."

"It always takes courage to take the first step towards a new life."

"Like a flower that grows on a cliff, blooming fearlessly in a lonely place, we marvel at its beauty, but we never go to the cliff and take that step towards the sky."

Ishida Tetsutsu raised his head, and in the dim light, Kamiyo Blue's face was filled with a warm smile, and his dark pupils were full of sincerity and convincing light.

"Minister......." Ishida's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

"It's time to take that step, Ah Tie." Kamidailan's tone was as gentle as ever.

"I want to take that step, I want to change myself!"

Ishida Tetsu is gone.

At the recommendation of Kamidai Lan, he went to the best sword field to study.

"Minister, I want to be the sharpest sword in your hand." At that time, Ishida's eyes were full of light.

"Before the national competition, I want to see you transformed."

Looking at the back of Ishida Tetsu walking farther and farther away, Kamidai Lan muttered to himself.
