"Hah!"

"It's not enough!!"

"Hmm!!"

In the U17 training camp, Tokugawa challenged the ghost again, but he was still greeted by a relentless counterattack.

This is not the first time that the shock transmitted from the racket has been felt.

But even so, he struggled every time he went to take it.

Even if he was trained by Mifune and his physique improved, he was still not as good as the ghost he is today.

"What a hard-working child."

Irie still can't get tired of looking at the current war situation, and Tokugawa is indeed not strong enough to touch ghosts, but he is struggling step by step with his feet on the ground.

It's as if the memory of defeating him with a ghost goal is no longer a shadow.

In the case that Byodoin has not returned so far, even if there is an overseas expedition, it is led by the ghost.

And it just so happened that now everyone had nothing to do and could only train, but the appearance of Tokugawa gave Irie a new focus.

"Bang dang!"

The racket was knocked off, and Tokugawa gasped and looked at the ghost in front of him, his eyes full of stubbornness.

"Nice looks."

"There is no fear in the face of the strong, and I can challenge again"

"You've improved a lot."

Naturally, the ghost didn't use all his strength to fight Tokugawa, but it didn't prevent him from admiring this kid who dared to face him.

"I'll knock you down!"

"Be the strongest here!"

Walking towards the racket that had fallen to the ground, he reached out and picked it up, and Tokugawa said stubbornly.

"Huh"

There was no direct answer to Tokugawa's words, and the oni just snorted.

If you don't count the Equality House who went out, he is indeed the strongest in the training camp.

Even Tanejima and others are not as good as him who exercises more.

Since the last defeat to Germany's Q· P, the ghost has already made up his mind to meditate on becoming stronger with Byodoin.

They can't just lose.

No matter what, in the last World Championship, they have to work hard.

Two years is enough time for them to do a lot of things.

"Tokugawa-san, please come to the monitoring room."

Before they could continue to communicate, the sudden sound of the radio stopped the movements in their hands.

"Huh? Coach, they're calling you again. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Irie listened curiously to the shouts of the radio, turned his gaze to Tokugawa and asked.

"It's rude."

Picking up the racket, Tokugawa had to give up the sparring session, he apologized slightly to the ghost, and trotted off the court.

………

"Of the five schools in Kanto that were in the national competition of junior high school last year, only Ice Emperor and Yamabuki did not make it to the top four, right?"

Kurobe picked up the school materials in his hand and read them separately, and then spoke.

"Yamabuki met Qingxue, and the Ice Emperor met the Four Heavenly Treasure Temple."

"But Yamabuki is losing in hard power, not as good as Qingxue."

"The Ice Emperor lost in the situation of insufficient personnel, but if the Ice Emperor has one more strong doubles or singles personnel, the outcome may be different."

Saito shook the envelope in his hand and explained.

"It's not clear exactly what the schools are doing this year."

"There is no useful information at all in the previous regional competitions and the current metropolitan competitions."

"But there's no doubt they're all leading the first-year recruits in the team."

Takue Ryuji thought about the previous information, so he set his eyes on the letter in Saito's hand.

"Echizen Ryuya of Qingxue has left, do you want Tokugawa to go to Qingxue?"

Kurobe frowned and asked Saito.

"Well, that's a good idea, too."

"But I think it's the turn of the desire to win the championship, and there should be another school that will pay more attention to Tokugawa-kun's existence, right?"

Saito looked out the window and could already faintly see Tokugawa running over.

"Now the fourth round of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament is underway."

"Excluding Lihai University that is not in one division."

"The semi-finals after this round will be a confrontation between Diguang, Ice Emperor, Qingxue, and Shanbuki."

"I'm sure it's going to be a pretty good experience for him."

Placing a flyer on the table, Saito told Kurobe and Takuue Ryuji the answer.

"Bang bang!!"

"Come in!"

There was a knock on the door, and knowing that Tokugawa was coming, Takuchi Ryuji motioned for him to enter directly.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he walked in, Tokugawa caught a glimpse of a letter thrown in front of him, and then wondered.

"From today, you will be going to the junior high school as a high school student."

"It's only April now, and I'll be back in September after the national competition."

"I have communicated with the Ministry of Education and the school, and there are no problems."

Saito looked at Tokugawa, who was full of questions, and then explained.

"I go to junior high school?"

I didn't understand what the arrangement was for a while, and Tokugawa was stunned.

According to his school status, he is currently a freshman in high school, but it is a bit strange that he is suddenly asked to go to a junior high school for a semester.

It's not a repeater

"Of course, you'll have doubts, but I'll get to the point."

"I hope you can be a regular candidate in the tennis club of that junior high school, and then try to win the national championship."

"It's not an easy task."

Faced with the words of the coaches, even Tokugawa could not understand the meaning and arrangement.

It stands to reason that there should be no spare time for him to go to the middle school to play some games.

But he has always received help from coaches here, and he naturally knows that the other party will not do such a thing for no reason.

It's better than the U17 training camp, right?

"By the way, the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics will start in about three days, so you'd better report on it today."

"If you're in a hurry, you can get to school by this afternoon."

"I believe that with your ability, there should be no problem in getting a positive choice."

…………

"Tokugawa-kun, what's wrong? Was it because he lost to the ghost and was kicked out by the coaches? ”

Passing by the road with the ghost, he saw Tokugawa with a bag and luggage walking in the direction of the gate, and Irie stopped him and quipped.

"Did the coaches tell you to go somewhere?"

Ignoring Irie's pompous statement, the ghost asked after glancing at the envelope Tokugawa was holding.

"Yes."

"I said that I was asked to go to a junior high school and participate in this year's competition as a high school student there."

Tokugawa didn't hide anything, but confessed.

But at the moment when he finished saying this, Tokugawa suddenly noticed that Oni and Irie's expressions had changed.

Irie, who has always liked to perform, became serious, and the ghost showed a solemn expression.

"What's wrong? Predecessor? ”

I don't know why Oni and Irie are like this, Tokugawa tilted his head and didn't understand.

"I don't know what school you went to, though."

"But it must be one of the five."

As if he was well aware of the affairs of the country, Tokugawa heard the meaning of caution from the words of the oni.

But then the words of the other party in the next moment made his pupils shake violently.

"A word of advice for you."

"Tokugawa."

"If you go to junior high school with a playful mentality"

"You're going to die!"
