#114 - Kanto Conference
Following that, all of Li Haida's matches were without exception.
Any team that encountered Li Haida in the regional preliminaries forfeited.
However, some teams were unwilling to give up, and the last three matches ended as quickly as possible.
Moreover, each match ended with a score of 6-0.
Li Haida advanced triumphantly, effortlessly winning the regional preliminary championship and securing a spot in the main tournament.
At the same time, Li Haida's undefeated record in the matches was reported to the tennis reporters.
And there was also news that Yukimura did not appear in any of the regional preliminary matches!
This matter also caused quite a stir.
In the blink of an eye, May arrived.
The Metropolitan Tournament officially began.
Date: June 10th.
Location: Kanagawa Prefecture Sports Park.
Because there were many teams participating in the Metropolitan Tournament, Li Haida had to play two matches on the first day.
One in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Li Haida won the morning match without any surprises, winning all three games 6-0.
One o'clock in the afternoon, Li Haida's rest area.
"Are there no strong opponents in the Metropolitan Tournament?"
Kirihara Akaya looked around and said with some dissatisfaction.
The recent matches made him feel bored and uninteresting.
"The Metropolitan Tournament is not the Kanto Tournament."
Niou Masaharu said with a smile: "There will be very strong players in the Kanto Tournament."
"Very strong? Who is it?"
Kirihara Akaya asked curiously.
"Hyotei and Seigaku."
Yanagi Renji said.
"It doesn't seem like much..."
Kirihara Akaya said carelessly.
"If you face them, you will lose miserably."
Yagyu Hiroshi pushed the glasses on his nose and said.
They were very clear about Hyotei's strength. Although they didn't play last year, they watched the matches.
Especially Hyotei's captain, Atobe Keigo. Although he lost to their captain in the end, it doesn't mean Atobe Keigo is weak.
Not only Atobe Keigo, but Hyotei's Oshitari Yuushi is also very strong!
"Kirihara, you are too arrogant."
Yukimura glanced at Kirihara Akaya and said in a gentle tone.
"When you encounter players you can't beat, you will find your words so ridiculous."
"Players I can't beat?"
After hearing Yukimura's words, Kirihara Akaya's face became serious. "Do you think you can beat Seiichi?"
Yanagi Renji looked at Kirihara Akaya and asked.
"No."
Kirihara Akaya replied with a wry smile.
Kirihara Akaya's strength is not very strong in the junior high school tennis world, but it can be considered okay.
But if you want Kirihara Akaya to compare with Yukimura, Sanada, Atobe Keigo, and Tezuka Kunimitsu, there is still a long, long way to go—
", I will definitely win!"
Kirihara Akaya said unhappily, with incomparable determination in his eyes.
After hearing Kirihara Akaya's words, Yukimura chuckled lightly. He shook his head gently without speaking.
"Then you have to work hard, otherwise you won't even be able to catch up with the captain's shadow."
Yagyu Hiroshi pushed the glasses on his nose and said.
"I will definitely!"
Kirihara Akaya said in a deep voice.
Seeing this, everyone just smiled faintly.
If it were so easy to catch up with the captain's pace, they would have been famous all over the country!
Time passed slowly.
Li Haida's performance in the Metropolitan Tournament was still strong.
Any team that encountered Li Haida lost the match 6:0. In this way, Li Haida directly won the championship of the Metropolitan Tournament.
After the Metropolitan Tournament, it was the Kanto Tournament!
This year's Kanto Tournament, as usual, was held at Li Haida for the draw.
The draw location for the Kanto Tournament is the location of the champion team of the previous Kanto Tournament.
July 5th.
Kanagawa Prefecture, Li Haida Affiliated Middle School.
A notice board was placed at the school gate of Li Haida, the venue for the .th Junior High School Student Tennis Kanto Tournament group draw.
All the teams that advanced from the entire Kanto region came to Li Haida.
School gate.
"This is Li Haida!"
Oishi Shuichiro's face was a little nervous. The thought of seeing the Son of God himself made him even more nervous.
"Tezuka, your Seigaku's vice-captain looks very nervous!"
Suddenly, an arrogant voice came.
"Atobe Keigo!"
Oishi Shuichiro's face tightened when he heard this voice.
Li Haida, Hyotei, Seigaku, and Yamabuki are the seeded teams in the Kanto region. The probability of the four schools meeting in the regional preliminaries or the Metropolitan Tournament is 0%!
Only in the Kanto Tournament can the four schools meet.
It is precisely because of this that Seigaku loses every time they meet Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament.
"Atobe."
Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Atobe Keigo with a calm expression. "Long time no see, Tezuka!"
Atobe Keigo had a smile on his face: "I hope Seigaku won't disappoint this king in this year's Kanto Tournament, right, Kabaji?"
"Yes."
Kabaji Munehiro, who was following Atobe Keigo, replied.
"Aren't you guys going in?"
Suddenly, another familiar voice came.
Yamabuki Middle School's captain, Sengoku Kiyosumi, was called Lucky Sengoku by other teams.
Except for Li Haida, all the seeded teams in the Kanto region have gathered.
"Let's go, Oishi."
Tezuka Kunimitsu said to Oishi Shuichiro and took the lead towards the draw venue.
Oishi Shuichiro quickly followed.
"Kabaji, follow."
Atobe Keigo said lightly, and then followed.
Sengoku Kiyosumi shrugged, and then also walked towards the direction of the draw venue.
Kanto Tournament draw site.
The staff of the Tennis Association have already assigned all the advancing teams.
The notice board showed that the first team was Li Haida Affiliated Middle School.
Because Li Haida was the champion of last year's Kanto Tournament, they were the first, so Li Haida did not send anyone to participate in the draw.
The result was already destined, no matter who Li Haida met, the result would be the same.
Li Haida will win!
It's that simple.
The draw ended quickly, but the face of the team that drew number 2 instantly froze.
This means… · · · · · They will be eliminated by Li Haida in the first round!
The other teams did not gloat. Although they did not meet Li Haida, some teams met Hyotei, Seigaku, and Yamabuki!
As the seeded teams in the Kanto region, no team wanted to meet them in the first round.
No one can change the draw results, even if they don't want to meet, there is nothing they can do.
After the draw ended, many teams left one after another.
In Li Haida's tennis club.
All the players were training, and at this moment, Yukimura's expression moved slightly, and he looked to the other side.
Atobe Keigo, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Oishi Shuichiro, and Kabaji Munehiro!
"That is the Son of God? ! !"
Oishi Shuichiro's face tightened when he saw that figure.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expressionless face showed a dignified look, and he subconsciously recalled the match that made him suffer a crushing defeat.
