The next day, the Nagano Prefectural Mahjong Tournament registration location.

"There are so many people!"

Although it is not the first time that Mako Someya has come to sign up, this time there are a lot of people.

It is said that this year's other colleges and universities have ushered in a lot of first-year freshmen with outstanding cards, injecting fresh blood into the teams of major universities, so this year's qualifiers are very interesting.

In addition, Nagano is already rich in sparrow geniuses and celebrities, so newspapers, magazines, and media from all walks of life have been moved by the news, and many reporters have been sent to Nagano to collect the latest information.

So you can see from afar that a group of reporters are blocking the door, interviewing the players who performed well in last year's competition.

"There are as many as 128 participating teams this year, and this year there is also a new exhibition match, which is full of highlights."

Mako excitedly introduced to Nanhiko.

In previous years, it was impossible to have more than 128 teams, because the sparrow departments of many colleges and universities were either abolished or could not make up enough members, and some old sparrow giants did not recruit powerful newcomers, and did not want to be too embarrassed, so they often chose to miss the game.

So usually, it is not possible to put together so many teams.

But this year's qualifiers were directly full, and there were even a few more teams, and finally had to occupy places in other counties.

The reason for this is probably because last year, Nagano's veteran sparrow giant, Kazetsu Girls' High School, which had won six consecutive championships, lost to a team composed entirely of first-year freshmen.

Some veteran sparrow giants suddenly couldn't sit still, and they set up mahjong clubs one after another, planning to take a look at it in person this year.

You must know that Fukotsu Girls' High School is one of the oldest wealthy families in Nagano, with countless ancestral glory, and there have been extremely dazzling professional sparrows.

But such a giant team was overturned by a newly formed team with a large score and lost extremely miserably.

Nagano's major giants feel that they are facing a huge challenge and no longer choose to wait and see.

It is precisely because of the injection of resources that the number of mahjong clubs in major universities in Nagano has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it has skyrocketed.

"Exhibition matches?"

But Nanyan's attention was not on the number of teams, but on the exhibition matches that followed.

He never seemed to have heard of this competition.

Seeing that Nan Yan was a little confused, Takei Jiu explained with a smile: "The appearance of the exhibition tournament is mainly to make up for the system, you must know that the qualifiers are very cruel, and there are often problems due to grouping, and last year's top four seeded teams met the champion and runner-up before entering the quarterfinals and were directly eliminated."

In the qualifiers and knockout rounds before the quarterfinals, they are all four into one, that is, the four teams can only break through one, without any room for error, and they will be eliminated directly if they lose one.

Only when you reach the quarterfinals will you be four into two.

Under such a format, there are often cases where last year's seeded team will run directly down because they meet too strong opponents in advance.

Especially for teams like giants, there are still a lot of fans, and there are endless cases of protesting against the competition system when they see their favorite teams being eliminated.

In order to appease the anger of fans and make up for the regret of the eliminated team, an exhibition match was added this year.

After the main competition, the fans vote for the star player with the most votes to participate in the competition, and the winner can not only get a large amount of money, but also qualify for the individual competition of the national competition. ”

"I see." Nan Yan nodded.

He instantly understood the meaning of the exhibition match.

In most mahjong clubs, the strength of the members is uneven.

Take the Shiraitodai High School where Gong Yongzhao is located, it is purely a god with four pigs, and it is completely dragged by Boss Zhao to the national competition, and the farmhouse trio is simply funny, and the strength of the big star can be seen.

Compared with Pilsen, the European king in ancient times, one god with four true eyes, without them, the game would not be possible.

In the field of mahjong, one person's light is able to overshadow the whole team.

If you can't enter the finals because your teammates pull your hips so that the star players can't get in, the fans can't accept it, and the players themselves are very sorry.

This is like when Kobayashi Li was drawing the chapter of the national competition, he designed the boss to take care of his teammates because he was too pitiful, even though Gong Yongzhao tried his best to turn the tide, but the final result couldn't even pass the first round.

If this kind of plot really appears, fans will not be angry.

Therefore, through exhibition matches, the hot and powerful players still have a chance to resurrect.

This will not affect the main game, but also increase the highlights, and it is also very friendly to players with strong personal strength, and the team will not cause some players to become team demolition madmen in order to forcibly form a galaxy battleship, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Although it is an exhibition match, the winner can go straight to the individual competition, and the weight is not bad.

"I heard that the exhibition match also invited sparrows from the Dragon Kingdom."

Takei Jiu suddenly thought of something, and then added.

"Celestial Empire. Are there any famous sparrows? ”

Mayo Someya asked with some curiosity.

Speaking of which, she had never heard of any well-known Japanese players in the Celestial Empire.

"I don't know, but after all, the Celestial Empire is the origin of mahjong, there are various types of mahjong, unconventional, I'm afraid there are a lot of masters, so if you really play an exhibition match to face them, you have to be extra cautious, it's best not to play an exhibition game, so as not to have an emergency."

Only the loser needs to play an exhibition match to give the rookie Sparrows, who were eliminated because of a bad grouping, a chance.

If you can win the championship of the county-level competition, you don't have to play the exhibition match.

Because Qingcheng had already submitted the quota, he came this time just to see the grouping.

"Speaking of which, minister, aren't you afraid that Saki will leave the community? After all, it seems that she doesn't seem to have much sense of belonging to the club, and the application form for joining the club doesn't have any effect in the end, and she doesn't seem to be very interested in mahjong, and she's not used to showing up at the county competition, can she really? ”

Mako recalls Miyanaga's sister, and always feels that she is a little out of place with the club, and it is difficult for her to integrate into the collective.

However, Takei didn't care about it.

"You're right, if Saki insists on not wanting to participate in the competition, there is no coercive means, and I will follow her personal wishes, but well, I believe she will stay, after all, it must be another monster that can make one monster feel dependent."

"You mean Nanhiko!"

Mako Someya opened her mouth and said Nanhiko's name.

But he felt that calling Nan Yan's name like this was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so he immediately turned his head to look for Nan Yan's figure.

As a result, Nanyan has long since disappeared.

"Wait a minute, minister, Nan Yan seems to be gone!"

"???"

.

On the other side, Nan Yan, who was in front of the vending machine, held a bottle of raw cola in his arms, turned his head and couldn't find the minister and Mako.

He scratched his head and sighed slightly.

In his previous life, he remembered that someone brought Coke to the goods, which made him a little curious about this thing, and wanted to see what this magical drink that could make Bin Zhou shine after drinking it, what kind of taste it was.

As a result, in less than half a minute, the minister and Mako disappeared.

There is a vast sea of people, how to find this, it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

And Nanyan hasn't brought a mobile phone when he goes out, after all, there are not many mobile phone functions in this year, and he can't play high-quality mobile games, and the mobile games produced by Neon are even more unbearable, and at the same time, the network is only 3G network, and it doesn't make much sense to go out with or not.

Nan Yan usually doesn't bother to take it out.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter an unexpected situation this time.

Never mind.

Nanyan is not in a hurry, standing in a more conspicuous position, just wait for them to come to him, don't run around in this situation, it is easy to miss.

Like in TV dramas, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are anxiously looking for each other, and they often pass by.

So the best thing to do is to wait in place.

I took two sips as if no one was around, and it seemed that the neon raw cola was nothing special.

The crowd was surging.

Many reporters circled around the star contestants to find out the information.

Fortunately, Nan Yan is not famous now, even if his appearance is extraordinary, he has attracted the attention of many other school girls, but in the world of mahjong respect, mahjong skills can better judge a person's value.

So if you look handsome, you just look handsome.

"Excuse me, are you a contestant in the Mahjong Club of Kiyosumi High School?"

Unexpectedly, a reporter really found Nan Yan.

is a professional female reporter with glasses, a decent appearance, and a camera in her hand.

Next to him was a male reporter who also looked like a passerby.

Nan Yan chuckled and nodded politely.

"Hello, I'm a student at Kiyosumi High School, and I'm indeed a contestant."

After all, he was wearing a school uniform when he went out, and as long as he could recognize the uniforms of various schools in Nagano, he could actually see at a glance that there was nothing to hide.

Although Nan Yan just smiled very ordinarily, the female reporter's heart seemed to blow a cool breeze on a hot summer day, and the whole person was comfortable.

Suddenly, the smile on his face became a lot more sincere.

"I'm Junko Nishida, a reporter from Sparrow Weekly today, may I ask, did your Kiyosumi High School also send a team to participate in this competition this time?"

Today's Sparrow Weekly seems to be a heavyweight newspaper that records the lace news of many professional players and popular contestants, among which Miyanaga Teru, Mihoko Fukuro and Haramura and other high-profile seed players have been repeatedly reported by this newspaper in large volumes.

Neon is a place of great seniority, and this newspaper has a certain authority because it has been reporting sparrow news for ten years.

Without waiting for Nan Yan to speak, the male reporter on the side continued to ask: "I also want to ask, will Qingcheng's original village and classmates also participate?" ”

This situation is quite disrespectful.

After all, Nan Yan didn't even speak, so he couldn't wait to interject.

Of course, this male reporter is purely watching people cook, and when a reporter has to interview dozens of people a day, he must not be able to ask questions and record in detail by any ordinary contestant.

If it weren't for the fact that Junko Nishida, who was traveling with him, was interested in Kiyosumi's Haramurawa, he wouldn't have come to interview Nanhiko at all.

So the speed of speech is fast, hoping that Nan Yan will quickly answer what he wants to know, and then quickly end the conversation and find a more well-known contestant.

Nan Yan glanced at the male reporter lightly, his face did not show anything, but he did not speak immediately.

Junko Nishida, who was on the side, quickly sensed her companion's offense to Nanhiko, and she quickly waved her hand and asked the male reporter to interview the other seeded players, and she stayed to talk to Nanyan.

"I'm really sorry, I'm sorry that I interviewed too many people today, and I lost my sense of proportion."

Although she was facing a newcomer, Junko Nishida apologized at the speed of light.

In the field of mahjong, there are dark horses every year, and no one can guess whether the player who comes to participate for the first time in front of him will become a champion in the future.

If their reporters can't get first-hand information, no one will subscribe to your newspapers, so naturally they can't offend the sparrows who participated in the competition.

What's more, she is very interested in the championship of last year's individual competition, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that Haramura Kazu's paparazzi, almost a reporter who has followed the report since Haramura Kazu's debut, for her teammates, even if the strength is not as good as Haramurakazu, she categorically cannot despise the other party.

Later, Nan Yan opened his mouth and briefly explained the content of Qingcheng's determination of the competition.

The county-level competition will start in ten days, and Qingcheng has clearly decided to participate, so it is not an exaggeration to reveal some information.

Knowing that Haramura and indeed want to participate in the competition, Nishida Junko couldn't help but nodded, as the seeded player of the competition, and also the sparrow that she focused on, if she could report some lace news and personal achievements of Haramura in detail, the number of newspaper subscriptions would not be less.

Of course, as a reporter, she can't just leave after asking Haramura, but she has to ask a few more questions that are no different from nonsense to increase the content of the article.

It is commonly known as 'water injection'.

This situation, whether in online articles or newspapers, is very common.

"I don't know if Nanyan has any people or teams that he pays special attention to the contestants in this competition, and what do you want to say to them?"

This question is actually trash talk before the game, and it is best to say something very arrogant to show the demeanor of the players.

It's a pity that Nanyan is still a relatively introverted character, so he didn't make a big fuss.

"Well, the most concerned should be Longmen 渹 (pronounce long second sound, men second sound), after all, they won the championship last year, and I am looking forward to playing against their players."

Decent to the extreme!

If the reporter from Nishida has a little headache, can't he be arrogant? Shouldn't children of this age be vigorous and young?

Subsequently, she used her mobile phone to record Nanyan's speech.

Nanyan, a sophomore in Qingcheng High School, said: I will lead the team to overturn the Longmen Division, and Qingcheng will definitely win the championship!

"Excuse me, what do you think of the giants who have won six consecutive championships, the players of Fengyue Girls' High School."

The common guided questions, or questions with the nature of touching porcelain, are a compulsory course for every journalist and a favorite of the BBC.

"I don't think so."

Nanyan said lightly.

Nishida reporters once again recorded Nan Yan's words.

Qingcheng's Nanyan also said: The contestants of Fengyue Girls' High School are vulnerable, thinking that their strength is not enough, and they are no different from ants, and the opponent in his eyes is only Longmenji!

"I don't have an opinion on what it means!"

Just as the Nishida reporter was on the way to interview Nan Yan, suddenly a little girl with black hair and cat ears stopped her footsteps, heard the content of the conversation, and walked forward angrily!

They did lose to Longmenyu last year, but they only lost to Longmenmu.

Against other schools, they won by a big margin.

In the past six years, their school has played in the national competition, and has won the quarterfinals once, although they failed to reach the final finals, but they have been very dazzling results, you must know that last year's Longmen Jie was also defeated in the three rounds of the national competition.

Even if they lost last year, what kind of school are you, you dare to look down on them Fengyue Girls' High School, it's just too deceitful!
