"Tomorrow, the national competition will start."

In the hospital, Yukimura sat on the bed and looked at Sanada and Yanagi Renji next to him and said.

"Then you don't have to worry."

"We're going to do our best to be as glorious as last year!"

Before Sanada could say anything, Ryu Renji had already taken the lead in saying it.

He knew that Sanada couldn't say these words, and he and Yukimura only had better in their eyes.

Although the results of the national semi-finals are already very good, they are not satisfied.

Unfortunately, if Yukimura can't compete this year, they are destined to face a tough confrontation.

Neither Akaji and Shiratsu of the Emperor nor Tezuka and Fuji of Seigaku, the Traces of the Ice Emperor, the Ice Chamber, and the Akutsu of Yamabuki are not easy players to deal with.

In the absence of Yukimura, Lihai can be said to be the most difficult national race so far.

In today's realm of the country, once there is no "king" to guard it, it will highlight the lack of top-notch combat power and fall into a congenital headwind.

After all, monsters of the level of Akaji, Tezuka, Trace, and Akuzu are not something that ordinary players can deal with.

Even Sanada and Nioh didn't dare to say that they could win.

There is no way, the current national middle school competition is not as "calm" as it was a few years ago.

Movement is the world-class ceiling, and there are also national-level players at the bottom of the competition.

In this kind of environment, how can there be "bastards" fishing in it?

If you don't have the ability, if you don't work hard, you will wait to be eliminated.

"Don't be so tight."

"There's too much pressure on yourself, and you might lose a game that you could have won."

Looking at the silent Sanada and the abnormal Yanagi Renji, Yukimura showed a smile and comforted.

Although he was relieved in the battle with Akaji in the Kanto Tournament, it was obvious that Sanada and the others were shouldering the glory of Lihai and would not allow him to be tarnished.

Just as they thought, even if they can't go further this year, they must at least maintain their original results, so that they can be worthy of meeting Yukimura.

Otherwise, once Yukimura is not there, they will even lose their position in the top four in the country, which will inevitably cause "criticism".

Because he understands their thoughts, Yukimura will not dissuade them from anything, he just hopes that they can play normally and play a good game, instead of mixing too many afterthoughts and then affecting their own state.

"Renji, you should know what I mean."

Looking at Ryu Renji, Yukimura emphasized again.

For the current national competition, which is full of strong opponents, Yukimura only hopes that they will not force themselves too much, which will lead to any accidents.

"Understood."

Nodding, Ryu Renji was also aware of Yukimura's concerns.

He is afraid that his own members will have "excessive" thoughts, so that if there is an injury in the game, it will be more than worth the loss.

"I'll hold on."

On the side, Sanada, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Those few words show his firm determination.

"I believe in you."

Without making unnecessary questions or movements, Yukimura showed a relieved expression and said in a deep voice.

"This year's stage will be given to them for the time being"

"Next year. I will personally lead the Lihai University."

"Make history like never before!"

Under the sunshine, Yukimura's figure is so upright, and after the disease is completely cured, he will not have any restraints and burdens.

…………

"This year's national tournament doesn't seem to be held in the usual location."

"It was moved to the outskirts of the city, where it was in a large new venue."

"I heard that it was only built this year, and although there are some shops, there don't seem to be any residents around."

"It doesn't seem like the organizers are allowed to live here."

When the day of the national competition began, people from each school were on their way to the designated location in their vehicles.

Most people can understand that the arena has been changed.

After all, there is a group of monsters playing ball, and it will cause large-scale anomalies at every turn, which is really scary.

If you put it in the city, something will happen one day.

With this in mind, a new competition venue was built.

It was originally expected to be completed at the end of the year, but after the previous "earthquake", many people were directly frightened, and increased supervision and investment, resulting in the early completion of the project.

"Wow, that's a big venue!"

"That's where the finals will be, right?!"

Kikumaru leaned on the window of the car and looked at the huge building not far away.

"That's right, the semi-finals and the finals will be played there."

"The other preliminaries, including the quarter-finals, will only be played on the outside court."

"But even the outer stadium has a sizable area and a considerable location, so it's no problem to accommodate at least tens of thousands of people."

"This time, the organizers have invested a lot of money."

Kan Sadaji flipped through the records in his notebook and introduced them very confidently.

"If it weren't for the funding, it wouldn't have been built so big, and even the original national competition wouldn't have attracted so much attention, right?"

Fuji sat next to Tezuka with his chin propped up with one hand, also interested in the huge building outside.

But once I thought that this was "forced" by their group of tennis players, it made people laugh inexplicably.

When do they play, do they have to consider the surrounding environment?

Obviously, it didn't reach such a scale last year.

This year, however, people have begun to worry about not destroying the "stadium" or hurting the audience.

It can only be said that the world is impermanent.

"This time, it is said that many magazines have come to report on the national competition."

"Even the broadcast is arranged."

"Wouldn't that be great? Everybody can play in such a great place. ”

Hearing Sadaharu Kan's explanation, Takashi Kawamura was very happy that such a thing happened.

"Well, I hope there won't be any trouble."

Compared with the optimism of several people, Oishi was a little worried about the game after this.

As we all know, the competition of junior high school students is not like words.

The organizers of this tournament also made a point to tell each school not to destroy the stadium as much as possible.

It is conceivable how "popular" they are in this class of middle school students.

"Don't worry about it that much for now."

"When it's your turn to play, just play well."

"Don't let other factors affect your performance."

Tezuka clasped his hands to his chest, and he was no longer as immature and short as he was last year.

Now it looks more and more like the style of the bigwig's predecessors.

"That's right."

"It's okay to say the opponents in front, but once we meet last year's strong schools, we don't have so much leisure to think so much."

Folding the notebook and tucking it around his waist, Sadaharu Kan waited for the vehicle to stop.

"Zizi!"

The bus was parked in the exclusive parking area, and the Tezuka people, who had just gotten off the bus, saw the junior high school students who were getting off the bus one after another.

"National Contest!!"

"Here we are!!"
