"Last year. I think that's the case. ”

Akaji and Shiratsu stood outside the lottery venue of the Kanto Tournament with a look of nostalgia.

At that time, they were just an obscure tennis club with a very bad reputation.

And in just one year, under his leadership, the negative evaluation was reversed and the legend was achieved.

"Isn't this a familiar picture?"

Bai Jin put his hands in his pockets, and he was also a little emotional, and then he turned his head as if he saw some interesting picture.

"Yo"

"What's the matter with you guys?"

"Long time no see."

"What a slack!"

From all directions, they appeared in front of Akaji and Shiratsu in pairs.

Yamabuki's Chigoku and Ashizaki

Tezuka and Oishi of Seikaku

Traces of the Ice Emperor and Birch Land

Sanada and Yanagiren of Tatsumi.

"It's really fateful to meet here by chance."

Qianshi looked at the acquaintances around him, but greeted him familiarly.

Ash Saki frowned, as if he was observing something.

"Ah, it looks like everyone is well prepared."

Tezuka looked around and found that several people were more imposing.

Oishi who was following him was the first time to follow Tezuka to do these things, and if it was last year, he would probably be very nervous, but now as a big-hearted player, Oishi is now very good at adjusting his mentality and emotions and facing it with a stable attitude.

"Huh?"

"This year's winner is our Ice Emperor, right, Birch."

Jibu tilted his head, looked around, and then said confidently.

"Yes!"

As a follower, Birch has always been so monotonous.

"It's not going to make it easy for you!"

Sanada looked at the traces, but did not retreat in words, but maintained a strong attitude.

But Liu Lian Er on the side found that everyone's expressions were quite unnatural.

(Was it discovered?) ）

(Sure enough, I can't hide it from these opponents.) ）

The moment Sanada and him appeared, he noticed a change in the gazes of several people.

"Sanada."

"Where's Yukimura?"

Due to the situation of the team, Tezuka didn't ask for the first time, but the trace department didn't have this concern.

"Treated in a hospital"

Hearing this, Sanada's pupils shrank slightly, but his face did not change, and he replied normally.

"Really?"

"It's a pity that Lihai is big this year."

Looking at Sanada's expression, Akaji seemed to sense something and whispered.

“！！！”

"We will!!"

In a word, Sanada's originally stable expression changed instantly, and he lost his temper for a long time.

"Yukimura really had an accident."

Tezuka inevitably felt some emotion and sympathy, and when he saw that it was not Yukimura himself, he wondered if there was something unexpected.

But I didn't expect that under Akaji's reminder, the situation was still not optimistic.

"It's just the Kanto Tournament."

But neither Tezuka nor Traces thought of more serious consequences.

They just thought that Yukimura would miss the Kanto tournament this time.

Judging from the current situation, the Kanto competition is just a "training ground" for newcomers from various schools, and whether or not Yukimura participates is not a big problem.

"Akaji.. You? ”

Looking at the silent Akaji, Shiratsu still felt very strange, but when Akaji solemnly walked up to Sanada and spoke seriously, he felt that something was wrong.

"Convey a word to him for me"

"Diguang is ready to welcome him and Lihaida's challenge on the national stage"

"Don't give up."

Ignoring the doubts of others, Akaji turned around and walked into the venue after finishing speaking.

(But why?) Even with Akaji's reminder, Yukimura still can't escape this catastrophe? ）

After a long time, Bai Jin hesitated for a while and followed, and he even wondered if Akaji had transferred to someone else's medical records.

With Akaji's means, it was too easy to know this kind of information.

But then there is a puzzle about Yukimura's situation, according to the reminder during the metropolitan competition, there should be plenty of time for Yukimura to deal with it this month.

So why is this still happening?

“.”

Sanada couldn't help but clench his fists, as if he was full of some kind of unwillingness

(If you can confirm it earlier)

(We could find something a little more nuanced at the time.)

(If Yukimura is not strong)

He will never forget the moment when Yukimura went down on the court.

After the competition, I went to the hospital on purpose, but the result was that I was sent home on the grounds that "the symptoms were not obvious and I couldn't confirm what kind of illness it was".

Since then, although I have been tested from time to time, I have not been able to make a "diagnosis".

As a result, during a training session, Yukimura really fell ill.

Later, Sanada and the others learned that Yukimura had actually made an appointment with a doctor for treatment, but the situation told by the other party made it difficult for him to accept, so it was delayed.

Good news and bad news

The good news is that it is detected early, so it is not too difficult to treat

The bad news is that the process of treatment and rehabilitation will take at least two months.

This is a fact that Yukimura cannot accept.

Receiving treatment meant he had to leave his tennis club behind and miss out on this year's national tournament.

With his character, such a thing could not be tolerated in any case.

Especially this year's Lihai is stronger than last year. There is a chance to hit the top of the country.

What's more, he knew that Lihai couldn't do without himself.

Otherwise, Tezuka, Akaji, and Traces will be difficult for someone to deal with.

Sanada may be able to do it, but the pressure is still too much.

In such an environment, Yukimura chose to conceal it, believing that the illness would not be triggered so early, at least until he played the national competition, so that he would have enough time to treat with peace of mind.

But what he didn't expect was that the onset and deterioration of his condition were beyond imagination, and he collapsed and was hospitalized a few days before the start of the Kanto Tournament.

That's why today's draw will be Sanada with Ryu Renji.

After Yukimura was admitted to the hospital, Tachikai fell into an atmosphere of anxiety.

Not to mention the freshmen, even Liu Lianer, who is a student of the same level, can't maintain their previous composure.

Because Yukimura is too important to Rikaida

Anyone can fall, but only Yukimura can't!

Once Yukimura is missing, there will be omissions in Lihaida's originally good lineup.

The ceiling is forced to be lowered, and there will be a lot of risk against other strong schools.

Unfortunately, according to Yukimura's situation, they were forced to accept the lack of a "minister" and face the upcoming Kanto tournament and national competition.

The Kanto Tournament is okay, and they are confident that they will win a ticket to the whole country.

But the national competition lacked Yukimura

That's not that simple.

……………

"Hexagon Middle School!"

"Here!"

In the venue of the draw, there was a cold and silent atmosphere.

The representatives of the other colleges were all under great pressure, looking at the strong schools sitting side by side in front of them, and they didn't dare to speak.

Obviously, the venue where they had been talking to each other before, but now they are stunned and dare not take a breath.

"Really"

"Isn't it just giving birth?"

Sitting in front of him, looking at a group of people with stiff expressions, Ash Saki couldn't help but want to say something while holding the back of his head with both hands, but before he could speak, his mouth was covered by the quick-eyed Sengoku.

"Mmmm

"Sorry, this guy doesn't know how to look at the atmosphere."

Holding Ashigasaki's mouth with one hand so that he wouldn't say anything rude, Chigoku smiled reluctantly.

After confirming that several people had no intention of pursuing and looking for trouble, Chiseki let go of him.

"What are you doing?!"

Staring at Chigoku viciously, Ash Saki had an attitude of wanting to flip the table.

"Don't talk about other people's misfortunes as if they didn't matter."

Making a "shhhhh

He is not a party to the matter, if he says the wrong thing casually, then Sanada will have to turn his face on the spot and give Ash Zaki a "duel".

"Yamabuki Junior High School!"

"Here!"

"Alright, you go and smoke it."

"What? Why should I go! ”

"Just think it's me asking you."

"Tsk!"

In Ashaki's reluctant look, he finally went to the front desk and found out where it belonged to Yamabuki.

"Number 11, it's not bad"

Chigoku looked at the names marked on the blackboard and was somewhat relieved.

At least it wasn't as bad as expected, and I was placed in the middle of the two seeded teams.

"Youth Academy!"

"Here!"

When Dashi heard the voice, he immediately got up from the second row, and then walked to the stage unhurriedly and reached out to touch the number plate.

"Number 12?"

But when he found out the number, Qianshi's face couldn't hold back.

"The first round is the mountain blowing and beating the Qingxue?!"

"Great!"

"Brush one off!"

Seeing that the right division suddenly came to the main event, many people were very happy.

They all know that Kanto is "ruled" by five strong schools, and because of this, they wish that some of them would collide with each other, so that they can catch the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"It seems that this duel can't be avoided."

Chigoku stood up, looked at Tezuka, who was sitting next to him, and spoke.

"Hopefully we can have a good game."

Tezuka naturally didn't let up, but looked at him and said bluntly.

Originally, Qingxue was going to train the army, but when he met Yamabuki, he had to think about it carefully.

After all, there is an element of instability in Yamabuki

Hitoshi Akutsu.

Out of the "chicken thief nature" of the companion elder, they must be vigilant, the original Nanjiro was accompanied by the old man's yin, and Qingxue naturally had to guard against it.

"Oh, don't make it that serious."

"We all come with the attitude of training newcomers."

"It's really not going to be a trick this time."

Tezuka's serious attitude made Chigoku laugh helplessly, and he continued.

In fact, Yamabuki doesn't care what the result of this game is, because even if he loses, as long as he plays the repechage, he can still get a ticket.

And apart from the other four strong schools, there are no opponents that make them worthy of attention.

So the focus is actually based on military training. Even the old man has this in mind.

After all, at this time, there is no point in going to the Yin Qingxue formation.

However, even if Chigoku explains it this way, it does not mean that Tezuka will accept such a statement.

Deeply taught by Minamijiro, they have a high "prejudice" against their companions.

"Okay, that's the result of the draw for the Kanto Tournament."

"The tournament will be held in two days, so please don't be late."

With the announcement of the event party, the people in the venue also left one after another.

"Hmph, really, now the Kanto Tournament is not exciting."

With his legs crossed and his hands in his pockets, he sat arrogantly, and he looked at the schedule with a bored face and said.

Completely different from last year's exciting Kanto Tournament, there was nothing worth noting at all when it was confirmed that tickets could be obtained.

This year's session is not like last year, there are new rules in it, so there is no need to worry about a lot of details.

"It's a nuisance."

Knowing that the various powerhouses would not necessarily be the main players, even if the Ice Emperor was going to face one of the Yamabuki and Qingxue, the trace department was not worried at all.

On the contrary, Lihai and Diguang are in the same division, and the top four will meet in the end.

It's like a remake of last year.

"Bang dang."

Sanada and Ryurenji stood up, and the two left in silence.

There is no intention of communicating.

"The situation in Yukimura has had a big impact on them."

"I guess I'm carrying a lot of undeserved responsibilities."

"Hey, it's not that you can't play tennis, why are you so nervous."

"Their desire to win this year is strong"

A few people who were still in the venue looked at Sanada and Yanagi Renji who were leaving, and in addition to Ashigasaki, they understood their feelings.

At a time when the morale of the whole team was high and the motivation was going to go further this year, the main general fell.

"What a pity."

Shiratsu shook his head, also feeling sorry for what happened to Yukimura.

Unlike Tezuka's injury, Yukimura's illness came so suddenly.

When it comes to protection, he is not a medical expert who can give professional advice.

Only he can only make advance notices like Akaji.

Although this treatment is not as good as in the main drama, it still affects the layout of Lihai University this year.

“.”

Akaji was silent, as if he was thinking about something.

……………

"Really? Kanto really met Teiko. ”

On the hospital bed, Yukimura listened to the news brought by Sanada and Yanagi Renji, and was a little distracted.

"They've guessed something might have happened to you."

"It would have been better to know that Nioh might have followed."

"It's useless, Nioh can't fool them."

With a wry smile, Yukimura interrupted Liu Lianji's words, for them who knew the roots, it was just self-deception.

"By the way, Temitsu's Akaji said let's bring you a message"

“？”

He said that Diguang will always welcome you and Lihai on the national stage. Don't give up. ”

The words conveyed were as if he had heard them in person, and Yukimura's eyes shone with brilliance.

"Sanada."

"What's wrong?"

"This Kanto tournament and Teikko competition"

When his name was called, Sanada was surprised for a moment, and then looked at Yukimura, who was speaking, and wondered.

But when Yukimura finally finished speaking, he and Yanagi were both stunned.

"Replace the singles number three with me."

“！？”

"What stupid are you talking about?!"

It's not that Sanada is angry this time, but what Yukimura said is simply unreasonable.

"It's okay, it's not a problem to play a little bit that day."

"Why did you play the No. 3 singles match against Diguang? If there is no convincing reason, I am sure that none of you in Lihai University will agree. ”

Liu Lianji didn't understand what Yukimura was obsessed with, and he said with a serious expression.

"Because no matter what, I want to fight Akaji again."

"Since I didn't make it to the national competition, let's be willful in the Kanto competition."

Those words contained regret for the national competition, and also indicated that Yukimura gave up his "obsession" with the country.

You know, before Yukimura, he refused to be hospitalized and insisted on playing the national championship, but now he didn't insist on continuing to play the national competition?

The change in attitude is really incredible.

(Could it be that there are code words in Akaji's words that I don't understand?) ）

Liu Lian Er hesitated for a while, but she didn't know what the problem was.

"Don't worry, a match won't affect anything, after all, I have enough time to get treatment after the fight."

"I won't be absent next year."

"So. This time, I will share the victory and defeat with him again. ”

PS：

Grand Chapter

Count the new monthly pass +1, it's still .. (13/21) difference 8.

This wave finally arranged for Yukimura's reinforcement, and it was almost complete.

(End of chapter)
