Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 23: Comparing each other, Sumire Ryuzaki’s unique perspective

Persimmon Sports Park, the venue for the regional competition.

After Munuhiko Saeki finished the last group training before the game, he found an excuse and left.

When he came to the drink vending machine, Zong Yan skillfully purchased the drink and drank it.

It seems that this way can resolve the anger and dissatisfaction in my heart.

He knew the truth about Tony Damu and Daqiao Weijiu's demeanor.

There is a (positive) policy on the top, and there are countermeasures on the bottom! (I dare not write that word, for fear of...)
Aren't you Saeki Sohiko the right candidate for the vice-principal's special approval!

Row!
I will give you the correct position, but only make you a substitute!

It's equivalent to a decoration, with only the title of regular selection, but no chance to play or even train.

In the school, even if he was selected, he still didn't have any chance to touch the racket to practice, and the other third-year players isolated him.

As long as you want to spar with them, they will find excuses to leave, or simply ignore you.

It was because Zong Yan had been in the stage of rapid strength improvement some time ago, and he was unwilling to let go of every minute, so he didn't get entangled and paid attention to it.

He is not a good-tempered person, and now his strength growth has slowed down, and he has reached another bottleneck.

Coupled with the start of the regional qualifiers, his mind is gradually putting on the team.

But in this way, the anger accumulated in his heart gradually rose.

Today, after knowing that he is a substitute, it has reached a point where it is difficult to suppress him.

He needs to vent!
However, Zong Yan still had a sliver of rationality in his heart at this moment, and the rationality at this moment also reminded him that venting this time might be worse than before, so he temporarily suppressed it.

Anyway, things are irreversible, we can wait until this game is over!

As for the other people in Fudo Peak, Tony Oki and Ohashi Mijiu have been hands-off shopkeepers, and they don't care about the match with Qingxue at all.

There is no atmosphere of competition, just arrange the list of personnel, and there is no other expression.

If Zong Yan didn't know their strength very well, he might have thought that they were all confident.

What Sokihiko didn't know was that Ohashi, who had just conspired with Tony Ohgi, returned to Fudomine's resting place soon. He glanced around and found Saeki Sokihiko in the crowd, and he didn't care.

Instead, he gathered all the other main candidates around him and said mysteriously:

"I got secret information from the coach. Yamato Yudai from Seigakushu has a serious elbow injury and it's not completely healed yet. If we work hard this time, we might still have a chance!"

"Really, Minister?"

Hearing that this thoughtless member A dared to question him, Ohashi Miku was very upset, squinted at the other party, and said in a cold voice:

"Is there any false news from the coach?"

Aware of the change in Daqiao's attitude, several clever members of the department immediately reacted and laughed.

The other member A, who had questioned before, lowered his head and was filled with fear.

"Okay, I'm going to clean up after the game. Remember the secret methods we usually train with. This time we can use them all to show Qingxue a little bit!"

"Yes!!"

As for the other side, as today’s opponent Qingxue...

"Singles No. [-], Daiken Yagura!"

"Single number one, Yamato Yudai!"

After announcing Qinggaku's competition list, Ryuzaki Sumire continued with great momentum: "Fudo Peak's strength is not strong, so we must show our strength in today's competition!"

"Yes! Coach Ryuzaki!"

When the main players all dispersed to warm up, Yamato Yudai was silent for a moment and then said: "Coach, aren't you going to let Tezuka play?"

"Tezuka, he's only in first grade."

Sumire Ryuzaki shook her head, and then looked at Yamato with a confused tone: "Yamato, why do you ask that? First graders can only pick up balls!"

Of course Sumire Ryuzaki knew that Tezuka was very strong, and Hitoshi Akutsu would help these people every week.

Although I haven't arranged any sparring sessions, I have heard about them, and their abilities are probably pretty good.

But they are only first graders. In Seigaku, if there is no relationship with Yueqiang Nanjiro, the first graders can only pick up the ball.

How can there be such a big power in the game?
"Coach, I still want you to give them a chance, that is, those first-years, some of them are not weaker than the main candidates, or even stronger, especially Tezuka Kunimitsu, Akutsuhito, Two weeks to help!"

"After this preliminary round, I want them to also participate in the main selection of Qingxue."

Yamato Yudai has seen the strength of Tezuka, Akutsu and Fuji with his own eyes, and he really wants to get some opportunities for them.

But Ryuzaki Sumire didn't care about those first graders, and his tone was very flat: "The first graders are just laying the foundation, there is no need to let them play."

"Coach, you have also seen that most of the main candidates for Hyokui who came here this morning are first-year students. There is also Tatekai University from Kanagawa, and I heard there are several more first-year students."

"This trend also shows that in the first grade, there are stronger talents than those who were selected."

"And since our youth academy has such outstanding talents, we should also discover those capable first-year students. Only in this way will we not fall behind other schools."

Hearing Sumire Ryuzaki's words, Yamato Yuda sighed in his heart. He was already in the third grade, and he was injured before, and he almost carried Seigaku into the Kanto Competition. This is already trying his best.

He will be entering higher education this year, and he has no chance.

But if Qingxue still sticks to the rules, I'm afraid it will continue to decline.

As minister, he really wanted to give those first graders a chance.

But Ryuzaki Sumire was a deadhead and didn't pay attention.

After all, Aogaku's rules were originally set by her, which can be traced back to the time of Echizen Nanjiro, and have been adhered to for more than [-] years.

If you change it directly now, wouldn't that be slapping yourself in the face?
So Ryuzaki Sumire was unmoved: "Yamato, do you think that just relying on the freshmen of Hyodi and Rikkai University can lead their school to enter the national competition?"

Yamato Yu still has different opinions on this:
"Coach, whether it's Hyotei or Tatekai Dai, since they can defeat all the main candidates, it means that they are stronger. We can't underestimate them just because they are first years."

"Yamato, you worry too much. Tennis is a team battle. Whether it is experience, physical strength, or the ability to withstand pressure in competitions, the second and third graders are definitely stronger than the first graders."

"As for those schools that allow them to become regular candidates in the first grade, they definitely lack experience, but for our youth academy, this is the best opportunity."

Ryuzaki Sumire was not optimistic about the first graders who came out of various schools during this period.

And I'm disgusted with this kind of atmosphere!

In her eyes, even if he is as strong as Echizen Nanjiro, he should lay a good foundation in the first grade.

Now that those first years are allowed to compete across the country, Sumire Ryuzaki inevitably despises them.

While Tennis Monthly variously touts the school's strong freshman class.

But in her heart, those seniors who have played tennis for a few more years are more worthy of her attention.

Those who abandoned the senior grades and used the first grades did, in her eyes, more like self-defeating martial arts.
