Chapter 242
Ariake Tennis Center, in front of the familiar office building, just like at the beginning, all the relevant personnel for the youth selection training gathered in place.

In the main square, after nine days of training, 128 tennis players with greatly changed auras, wearing uniforms of various colors, stood in corresponding queues.

Everyone who had just bid farewell to the last seat challenge match, that is, the Golden Lion Tachibana Jupei vs. the Tennis Emperor Genichiro Sanada, came here one after another at the call of the coaching staff.

Waiting for this last 'farewell gathering'.

Because the rules of the entire training camp are clearly stated, everyone is aware of them.

From the beginning on August [-]st to the current August [-]th, in nine days, everyone has the opportunity to advance.

The seats in Group S of the First Army are the places for the final youth selection team.

The quota seats are there, the conditions are the same, and the opportunities are given, so those who lose the final selection will naturally be inferior in skills.

Therefore, at this moment, a group of more than a hundred people on the square looked around and whispered constantly.

"No~~~"

"Look at it one last time, I'll be leaving soon."

Crossing his hands and clasping them behind his head, Kikumaru and Oishi beside him chuckled and whispered.

It can only be said that the golden combination is indeed a golden combination, and they will be together for life and death, forever and ever.

Even in this training camp, the two of them were in the same group at the end, and even the seats were ranked next to each other.

After hearing Kikumaru's emotional laughter, Oishi also nodded.

"This kind of training camp with more than 100 people training together is actually quite rare."

In Qingxue Academy, the equipment of the tennis hall "sponsored" by the Kitagawa family has been constantly updated, including training facilities, equipment and other equipment. In fact, the Qingxue Tennis Hall is completely sufficient, and there is also a professional team by its side.

Therefore, for Kikumaru and Oishi, what they are even more reluctant to part with is the atmosphere of this mass training.

There are more than 100 people, and every one of them is burning with the flame called fighting spirit.

The special atmosphere in a large group gives everyone a different feeling and is unforgettable.

Get stronger, get stronger, get stronger!

Chase the goal, turn unwillingness into anger, exchange unlimited efforts for powerful strength, and then defeat the people you want to defeat, climb higher, and go further.

Under this similar goal idea, many people have become good friends.

E.g
"Qianshi, let's make an appointment for a training match later, or come to a two-school co-op?"

"Although we were eliminated together this time and won't be able to participate in tomorrow's exchange match, we will still participate in the national competition together later!"

Rokkaku's Saeki Torajiro said to Sengoku Seijun who was facing him in front.

"Okay, that's a good suggestion. I'll ask the minister and companion after I get back."

Qianshi Qingchun touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then waved, his fist and palm colliding in front of him.

the other side.

Inui Sadaharu and Kawamura Takashi stick together with Yanagi Renji and Katakura Nishiki.

Between the two, they were exchanging data tennis while exchanging power tennis. In the end, they even invited each other to hang out and play together when they had time.

this side.

Hyotei's Ninzu Yushi and Shitenhoji's Ninzu Ken were also chatting about their daily life.

"Cousin Yushi, after going back this time, do you want to come to Osaka? Do you want to go to 'One Street' again? I heard that there is a new 'pinball lottery shop', and the prizes are very good."

"Oh, yes, I'll try it if I have a chance."

"However, I also found a good pinball lottery shop here in Tokyo. You should also go to the scene of tomorrow's game. Do you want to experience it with me after the end?"

Yushi Ninzu put his hands in his pockets, and beneath his perfect posture was the elegance of a Kansai wolf.

Amidst Yuyouran's words, everyone's smiles appeared, and there was a touch of relief in their eyes.

Of course, there are naturally emotions such as unwillingness.

But, you can only wait until later, turn your grief and anger into strength, and work hard to become stronger.

After all, this youth selection training has come to an end.

If you want to 'revenge' and defeat the goal in your heart, you can only choose to focus on the upcoming national competition.

Coincidentally, there were sixteen teams with a total of 128 people, all of whom were participants in the national competition, so it didn't delay anything.

step~step~step~~~
Familiar footsteps sounded straight away, gradually approaching.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the square, the five-person coaching staff appeared again.

From left to right, familiar arrangement.

High school assistant teacher, Joyous and the Boiling Goat, Irie Kanata/Taneshima Shuji, face fruit possessor, Straw Hat Toothpick Shuji Watanabe, Edward coach, noble gentleman Sakaki Taro, and the last perfectionist, charming big sister Hanamura Aoi .

bass!
The footsteps stopped, and under Sakaki Taro's cold and serious gaze, the whole place was silent and the queue was in order.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

For noble gentlemen, courtesy is ever present.

His eyes swept over and the figures of tennis players came into view.

Amid everyone's waiting gazes, Sakaki Taro nodded lightly.

"Today is the last day of this youth selection training."

"You are tennis elites from all over the country, Kanto, Kansai, Chubu, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Hokkaido."

"Six regions, sixteen teams, a total of 128 people. In order to get ten places in Group S of the First Army, in order to become stronger, and for the goal in your heart, you have come this far."

"Hard training, the taste of failure, pain and hardship again and again, you all persevered and successfully completed this training camp. No one chose to give up or retreat."

"I'm so proud of you! So proud of you!"

For some reason, everyone in the square was moved by the heartfelt recognition and appreciation that came from their hearts while listening to Sakaki Taro's speech quietly.

At the end of a training camp, the approval of the head coach, this feeling is actually very good, isn't it.

Listen, listen, watch.

Even with Sakaki Taro's usual cold gaze and cold expression, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot more friendly.

immediately.

In a slightly relaxed atmosphere, four people including Osamu Watanabe and Aoi Hanamura also spoke a few words as their concluding remarks.

As for Sakaki Taro, who resumed taking charge of the overall situation, his speech gradually came to the final focus.

That is the final result of this training session.

"Everyone also knows that the task of this training camp is to select the strongest elites among you, that is, the ten seats of the first army of Group S. Tomorrow, we will have an exchange match with the youth team from country M. .”

"Now, let me officially announce the roster of this dream team."

Under the gaze of the coaching staff on the stage, more than a hundred people in the square also raised their eyes and looked at the first row in front.

One army, ten seats!

bass!
The sights were full of complicated expressions.

Call ~
Just then, the wind picked up.

"The leader and captain of the Dream Team, a first-year student at Youth Academy, Sora Kitagawa."

brush!
A series of fiery gazes looked at Kitagawa Sora, focusing on one point.

"First grader at Rikkai University Affiliated High School, Seiichi Yukimura."

"First year of Youth Academy, Tezuka Kunimitsu."

"First grader at Rikkai University Affiliated High School, Genichiro Sanada."

"First year at Youth Academy, Fuji Shusuke."

"First year of Hyotei Academy, Atobe Keigo."

"First grader at Shitenhoji Temple, Kuranosuke Shiraishi."

"Leo Shiro, third grader, can't beat the Iron Man."

"Third grade student at Tiantianbao Temple, Ping Shanzhi."

"Third year student at Ryugu Academy, drunken Ryuuji."

After reading the list, Sakaki Taro paused for a moment.He also looked at the ten people standing in the front row, and then, in the sight of everyone, Sakaki Taro said the last words of the training camp.

"The above are the members of the selection team that will face the Youth National Team of Country M tomorrow. The specific appearance information will be announced tomorrow."

"Finally, I announce that this youth selection training is officially over."

"Disband!"

"Yes, coach!"

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Amid the unanimous shouts of 128 people that echoed through the Ariake Tennis Center, the training camp for the youth selection competition ended.

The final selection team will continue to prepare to face the M country youth team tomorrow.

The tennis players who were not selected are preparing to go home to prepare for the national competition. Of course, they will not let go of tomorrow's exchange match between the two countries.

As a perk of being a member of the Youth Selection Competition, audience tickets for good seats have already been prepared for them.

Soon, with the atmosphere completely relaxed, the square after the disbandment became completely lively.

Gathered in twos and threes.

"Wow~~~"

"Beichuan, Tezuka, Fuji, I knew you could do it."

"Wow, wow, I'm so envious. I can go to the Ariake Arena to play in advance tomorrow."

Qing Xue and others gathered together again.

Kikumaru still has the lively and cheerful personality, talking about whatever comes to mind and being cheerful and cheerful.

The so-called 'Arimei Arena' is exactly the kind of venue where tomorrow's exchange match with the Country M youth team will be held, the kind of stadium that will be used for official matches.

It is also the venue for the finals of this year's national competition, so Kikumaru said he wanted to experience it in advance.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that tomorrow's game will have an unusually large number of spectators.

Thanks to advance publicity and ticket sales, almost 80.00% of the audience tickets were sold in the entire main venue.

In other words, tomorrow, Sora Kitagawa and the others will enjoy the feeling of being cheered by the crowd in advance.

Here, after a lot of joking, our data doctor, Sadaharu Inui, returned to his old profession and is passionate about data and strategy.

He adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

"The final selection team is ten people, but tomorrow's game is a seven-a-side game, which means that three people are bound to not be able to play."

"I don't know how the coaching staff will arrange tomorrow's lineup."

There is no doubt that no tennis player would want to do such a thing as watching the water fountain as a substitute.

But reality is always helpless and cruel.

After hearing Gan Sadaharu's revealing words, the rest of the people frowned, and Kikumaru changed his mind suddenly and began to think.

buling!

"Seven first-years and three third-years. Do you think it will happen that the first-years will play? Hehehehe."

In a flash of inspiration, Kikumaru expressed his intuitive guess, causing Oishi to hold his forehead.

"What are you thinking about, Eiji? It's impossible."

"Why is it impossible? This is my cat's sixth sense~~~"

Kikumaru snorted arrogantly, and started playing with Oishi with a smile on his face.

After some operations, the three parties here did not respond, and even smiled, and their emotions did not fluctuate.

"Don't worry, it should be fine."

Kitagawa Kong said calmly, giving everyone a touch of confidence.

At this time, Fuji also smiled.

"Hmm~ Just like Eiji, I seem to be feeling pretty good too."

After saying this, he looked at Tezuka with interest.

Immediately, in the eyes of everyone, Tezuka nodded lightly, still looking cool and handsome.

And right here at the Ariake Tennis Center, Sakaki Taro made a speech, announcing that the youth selection training was over and disbanded.

At Tokyo International Airport, a team strolled off a special plane.

The stars and stripes and the white clothes are the youth representative team from country m, which is the opponent of Kitagawa Sora and others in tomorrow's exchange match.

"Wow~~~"

“We’re finally here, I’m so tired from flying~~~”

"You're still tired from flying, so when you go back, how about swimming back from the sea, Phillips."

"Ahhhh~~How can this be done, Chico, I was wrong, I don't want to feed the sharks~~~"

At the front of the entire team, leading the way was a beautiful boy with blond hair, a little short compared to the others, and a pair of sapphire eyes.

He always has a friendly and hearty smile on his face, and his lively atmosphere is everywhere in his conversations with his teammates.

He is the captain of this M country youth team - Chico Balentin.

Chico Balentin, a sophomore in junior high school, has been invited by the Country M Tennis Association to become a member of the U14 team.

Coming to Neon this time to conduct exchanges between youth teams and serve as captain is also an invitation-and-a-half mission from the Tennis Association of Country M.

Chico Balentin, known as the "weird man who can change freely", is a very "special" and "magical" person in the country m.

In the eyes of everyone, Chico Balentin has very good luck, and he is a person favored by the goddess of luck.

There are always some 'interesting' things and phenomena happening in Chico Balentin's matches, gradually turning the situation in favor of this lucky guy.

Every opponent that Jean Chico Balentin faced, he lost by a score of '4-6'.

And the weird '6-4' has continued to this day without any exception.

All these give Chico Balentin an extremely mysterious atmosphere.

As for 'Phillips', who complained about being tired at the beginning and talked to Chico Balentin, he was a member of the youth representative team of Country M.

Soon, the group got off the special plane and gathered at the airport.

Eight team members, a coach, accompanying assistants, data analysts, and more than a dozen support staff, in short, it seemed that there were not many people.

While everyone was watching and waiting, the head of the team, coach 'Hedmund Weeks', spoke.

"The Neon contact person for this exchange competition has already contacted me."

"Hotels have been prepared for us around the competition venue."

"Also, the car to pick us up will be here soon. Please don't run around and follow the team."

"Understood!"

"Understood, sir!"

Coach Wesker was very satisfied with the team members' reaction, smiled and nodded.

"Okay, guys."

"I won't say more. Use your strength to conquer your opponents tomorrow and spread the powerful reputation of our free country."

"You have selected the world's elite from countless tennis players in the great country M. Nothing can stop you here!"

Sydmund Wesker spread his wings with both hands, spoke freely, and smiled broadly, inspiring his team members.

as predicted.

Under the encouragement of Sidmond Wesker, everyone in Country M was in high spirits.

"Yes!"

"gentlemen!"

"Leave tomorrow's game to us!"
