#109 - New member, Kirihara Akaya
Yukimura had a gentle expression and nodded slightly.
Chloe felt this atmosphere, and a smile appeared on her small face.
"Captain!"
‘That Kirihara Akaya doesn't seem to be here.’
Yanagi Renji looked around and said.
"He must be scared."
Mori Juzaburo smiled and said, "After all, he just finished saying ‘I will become number one,’ and then he met the captain."
Hearing Mori Juzaburo's words, everyone couldn't help but smile.
Now this matter has spread throughout Rikkaidai, and even Chloe knows about it.
After all, Kirihara Akaya said this sentence at the school gate.
"How much longer will the application process take?"
Yukimura looked at Yagyu Hiroshi and asked.
Yagyu Hiroshi is in charge of the application process, along with others helping.
"It will probably take another hour."
Yagyu Hiroshi said, "Some of these freshmen have just been exposed to tennis,
Some have been practicing tennis for a while. Captain, will the assessment items still follow the original plan?"
Yukimura nodded slightly, then said, "The assessment items will remain the same. For the freshmen who don't meet the standards, select half of the better ones for basic training and ball-picking. The freshmen who pass will follow regular training."
Yagyu Hiroshi nodded.
There are too many freshmen joining the tennis club this time. The tennis club is only so big, and it can't accommodate so many players.
Rikkaidai is not like Hyotei, a noble school. Especially Atobe Keigo's narcissistic personality, he will definitely treat Hyotei Academy as his own territory and build it well.
So the current Hyotei Academy, whether it is the campus environment or accommodation, is the best in Japan.
The Hyotei Academy tennis club is enough to accommodate more than 200 people, but Rikkaidai has no way to accommodate a tennis club of 200 people. Yukimura can't do anything about this.
In terms of luxury, Rikkaidai is naturally not as good as Hyotei, but in terms of strength, Rikkaidai is definitely the best in the country.
One hour later.
All the freshmen have submitted their applications.
But if they want to officially join the tennis club, they still need to be selected.
The freshmen naturally understand that joining the number one tennis club in the country will not be so easy.
"I will definitely join the tennis club!"
Kirihara Akaya, of course, was included among all the freshmen. Looking at Yukimura's figure in the distance,
Kirihara Akaya thought to himself.
"First of all, I am very happy that you can choose Rikkaidai Tennis Club."
Yukimura wore a coat over his shoulders, and his amethyst-like pupils looked at the many freshmen.
"If you want to officially join the tennis club, it depends on yourselves."
"Next, there will be a unified test. Freshmen who pass the test will officially become members of the Rikkaidai Tennis Club."
"Those who do not pass the test will have half of the better-performing freshmen selected for basic training and ball-picking."
"Now, the test begins!"
Although Yukimura's voice was not very loud, it reached the ears of every freshman. Chloe sat in the back, propping her chin and looking at Yukimura's figure.
After Yukimura finished speaking, Sanada, Yanagi Renji, Mori Juzaburo, Niou Masaharu, Yagyu Hiroshi, Jack Kuwahara, Marui Bunta, and other second and third-year players began to act.
The freshman test officially begins!
Two hours later.
In the Rikkaidai Tennis Club, the freshman test has ended.
Kirihara Akaya was panting heavily, sweat had soaked his clothes,
His face was very tired, but his eyes were full of excitement and agitation.
Among all the freshmen, only he himself completed all the tests.
In other words, he is the strongest among all the freshmen!
Although he is only the first among the freshmen, this is very exciting for Kirihara Akaya.
Kirihara Akaya is very excited now.
"Interesting, he actually persevered."
Niou Masaharu looked at Kirihara Akaya with some surprise.
"It is indeed very surprising."
Yagyu Hiroshi nodded. No one knows the difficulty of these tests better than them. It is indeed surprising that Kirihara Akaya was able to persevere.
"Even so, he can't surpass the captain."
Marui Bunta said, chewing gum in his mouth.
"No one can surpass the captain."
Jack Kuwahara said with a serious face.
On the other side, Sanada, Yanagi Renji, and Mori Juzaburo also noticed Kirihara Akaya.
"Interesting."
Mori Juzaburo chuckled and said, "But it's still far from enough."
"Apart from Kirihara Akaya, the overall strength of the other freshmen is not very good."
Sanada shook his head and said, only Kirihara Akaya was relatively bright among the many freshmen.
"Compared to some second-year players, he's not bad."
Yanagi Renji said.
The main force of the Rikkaidai Tennis Club is the official players. The strength of the other players is not very good. This is not only the case for Rikkaidai, but also for schools across the country.
And Kirihara Akaya's performance is something that some second and third-year players cannot achieve.
"Sanada."
Yukimura nodded looking at Kirihara Akaya and called out to Sanada.
Sanada naturally understood Yukimura's meaning. He nodded and shouted to all the freshmen: "The test is over. Only Kirihara Akaya passed. Next, half of you freshmen will be selected to join the tennis club."
"If you want to join the tennis club, show your full strength!"
The eyes of the freshmen who did not pass the test were a little dim, but their eyes lit up after hearing Sanada's words.
They still have a chance!
They must join the tennis club!
"Everyone, choose your own opponents and then compete. The winners advance."
Yukimura looked at all the freshmen and said.
"Yes!!"
The freshmen shouted immediately after hearing Yukimura's words, their tone a little excited.
Another hour passed.
Now there are only one hundred freshmen left in the entire tennis club.
Apart from these one hundred freshmen, the other freshmen left the tennis club with dejected faces.
But they did not give up. If they don't have the opportunity to join the tennis club this year, they will have the opportunity next year!
During this time, they must improve their strength!
At this time, in the tennis club.
Yukimura looked at the neat teams of third-year, second-year, and first-year students, and a hint of emotion appeared in his purple eyes.
He didn't expect that the Rikkaidai Tennis Club would have so many players.
Including the third-year and second-year players, the total number of people in the Rikkaidai Tennis Club exceeds 175!
Although one hundred freshmen did not pass the test, at least they were all selected through selection.
Although it is not as good as Hyotei's 215 people, the overall strength of Rikkaidai's freshmen is stronger than that of Hyotei.
In front of the team, Yukimura stood in front of all the players wearing a coat over his shoulders.
