"New arrivals, go and line up first."

"Yes!!"

Compared with last year's situation, there are significantly more people participating in the tennis club this year.

"I said, why am I doing this kind of thing?"

Midorima looked at the people who were already standing in line in front of him, and frowned and said dissatisfied.

"Isn't it that Imayoshi and they haven't come back today?"

"So it's hard to let my seniors accompany me."

Reiko Aida stood next to her, wearing a cap, and said happily.

"What's the statistician, isn't there Momoi doing it?"

"Senior, it's not like you don't know that Senior Sister Momoi isn't here, she's sorting out the information over there."

In the face of Midorima's inquiry, Reiko Aida answered very smoothly.

"In addition to our school, there is information from other schools."

"Momoi-senpai has a lot to do."

She went on to explain.

"Tsk"

Midorima really can't complain about these things, but understands why he came to him.

In terms of the team, except for Akaji and Bai Jin, he is a little more reliable in this regard.

If you let the god of fire and Qingfeng unify the newcomers, I'm afraid that they will have to destroy everyone on the first day.

"That's a lot."

"It seems like there are 212 people"

"That's at least 70 more than last year."

Looking at the registered roster in her hand, Reiko Aida flipped through the opening and said.

Although more than 100 people joined the Teiko tennis club last year, only four people were able to become the main candidates: Imyoshi, Hinata, Takao, and Kasamatsu.

The rest are all reserves

It can also be seen from here how big the difference in proportion is.

"It's certainly not going to be the final number."

Observing the people standing in line in front of her, Midorima corrected her statement.

The number of people who apply for admission is definitely not equal to the number of people who remain in the end.

Just like last year, there were about 140 people who joined, but after some screening, about 100 people were finally left.

"Of course I do, Senpai."

"It's time to go."

Standing next to a table with a stopwatch in hand, she pointed to the playground next to her, and Reiko Aida looked forward to it.

"You're going to be tested now."

"There is also a basic test of tennis"

"You have to understand one thing"

"Not everyone is eligible to join us."

Midorima looked at the newcomers in front of him, and his tone was very stern.

It is no longer the time when the tennis club was first established, and there were only nine people in the tennis club at that time: Akaji, Shiratsu, Kuroko, Midorima, Aomine, Vulcan, Shihara, Krose, and Momoi.

At that time, they were doing everything by themselves, including picking up the ball and cleaning the court.

From the second year onwards, new people have been admitted.

Imakishi, Hinata, Kasamatsu, and Takao were only selected as the best of them.

The rest are classified as reserve players because they are not satisfied with their strength, skills, etc.

Akaji's criteria are also very simple, you have a certain amount of strength to become a regular player.

If you don't meet the requirements, then work hard as a reserve player to fight for when you can cross the line.

Of course, not everyone can come in indiscriminately, at least with a certain degree of athletic ability.

This is also the reason why their tennis department has to deliberately set up an entrance assessment.

Because as a champion team, they are not short of people.

Even if the assessment is not too difficult, it can also stop some bastards.

"Is running in the first place?"

In the crowd, a very short boy suddenly muttered.

"Ah, it always feels like it's going to be a lot of trouble."

At the same time, there was a tall boy standing next to him with a headache.

"Well, you have to pass!"

"Huh"

"What a simple test"

Different sounds sounded in the surrounding area one after another, which meant the thoughts of the newcomers.

"Three laps"

"Score your performance."

"Let's go!"

In groups of ten, Reiko Aida announced the start of the tests.

"Drink!!"

"Ahh

With the noise of the noise, the prelude to this was kicked off.

"Hah"

"Whew"

But with these three laps, many people have been tired and started to gasp.

"What a fool, running so hard."

"I can't hold it anymore."

Looking at this group of newcomers who were all desperately sprinting, Aida Reiko muttered absently.

She only said that she would be scored based on performance, but she didn't say who was faster than anyone.

Write down everyone's arrival time and physical condition in turn in the notebook.

"Huh"

But until the end of the lap, Reiko Aida found a few people who were out of the ordinary.

Unlike the other newcomers who sprinted and gasped, these guys seemed to be a little more comfortable and not slow.

"Kotaro Hayama"

"Hanamiya Ma"

"Reio Shibuchi."

"Kiyoshi Tieping."

"Nagayoshi Netakeya"

"Kebin Smith?"

"Foreigners still have?"

A row of astonished people looked down and found that these people were clearly more prominent than the others.

"Senior, it seems to be very interesting."

The period of rest, I deliberately paid attention to the situation of these people, and Aida Reiko said to Midorima.

"Hmph"

The latter is expressionless and does not show anything.

"Next up is the basic swing."

"1000 times! 20 minutes time limit! ”

"Looks like he's faster than anyone."

"I'm so tired, I've just finished running, and I have to do so many swings."

"Okay, isn't it easy?"

"How can there be so many conditions?"

"The national team is not something that can be entered if you want to!"

After announcing the next assessment, it caused an uproar.

But when there was enough time, no one gave up.

Instead, choose to move on

"Ahh I can't lift my shoulders. ”

"Who told you to swing so fast?"

"I want to finish it in 15 minutes."

"I think it took 10 minutes for that guy to get it done."

"Who?"

"It's the foreigner"

The second round of the competition did not have many twists and turns, but was successfully resolved.

"Hmm"

"That's just 3 points."

"That's a 5."

"10 points."

Midorima looked at Reiko Aida, who was constantly scoring, and trusted her judgment.

When it comes to observing players, Momoi and Reiko are both masters in their team.

"Well, depending on the situation, there's nothing wrong with going straight to the final link."

After only two rounds of observation, Reiko Aida had no intention of delaying.

"It's been 40 minutes."

Reminding her, Midorima handed over the form in his hand.

He probably already knew that there would be a few decent guys in this class.

Similarly, Reiko Aida should have noticed it, so she interrupted the follow-up test and planned to end it directly.

"It's okay, it should be over soon."

"After all."

"That's the competition for seven games."

ps：

Now I have time to come out, and I'm still working overtime, and I can't open my eyelids.

Go get some sleep first.
