Chapter 59 Tokyo Contest

The next day.

09:30am.

The sports park where the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition is held.

It's the weekend and the weather is fine.

The area where the park tennis court is located has a large green grass area, which has become a check-in spot for nearby residents to go out on weekends.

but.

Today, in addition to the people nearby, there were obviously many more men and women wearing various school uniforms, talking and laughing along the way.

"Is this the venue for the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition?"

At the entrance of the tennis court, a professional woman with a shoulder bag and brown hair neatly falling on her shoulders said with emotion: "Compared with the regional qualifiers, it is really different!"

Shiba Saori.

23 is old.

I just graduated from college and started working, interning at the famous sports magazine Tennis Monthly.

"Of course not."

At this time, a gentle voice sounded.

I saw a middle-aged man with thin cheeks, a briefcase on his back, and a tan striped shirt walking over.

Mamoru Inoue.

30 years old. (Chapter 11 of the original work, unexpectedly young)
Senior reporter for Tennis Monthly.

Because he works hard and often works overtime and stays up late, he looks older than his peers.

But because of this, it feels more mature and stable.

Nowadays.

It was Inoue who came with Shiba, an intern, to conduct on-the-spot investigation of the Tokyo Contest.If you have the chance, you can also interview this year’s seed schools.

"Let's go and see which teams are coming to compete this year."

Ino looked around at the men and women wearing coats of various colors.But his eyes quickly passed over these people.

Obviously.

These people in front of him were not the goals of his trip.

"This year's seeds are the top four schools in last year's Tokyo competition."

Inoue took Shiba Saori to the bulletin board at the entrance of the competition. Looking at the posted competition list, he said: "Last year's champion was Hyotei, No. 2 was Seigaku, and the other two schools were Yamabuki and Hojo. "

"According to last year's roster arrangement, these four schools should not meet before the quarterfinals."

"The target of our interview today, besides Qingxue, is the Ice Emperor!"

"Qingxue, are you only second?"

Hearing Inoue's introduction, Shiba next to him showed a shocked expression in his eyes: "How strong is the Ice Emperor?"

"The Ice Emperor is indeed very strong."

When Inoue spoke, his tone became serious: "In last year's Tokyo competition, everyone in Seigaku lost except Tezuka."

"hiss!"

heard.

Zhi's expression changed again.

She had been to Qingxue many times before, and every one of the team members seemed to her to be very strong.As a result, Inoue now told her that everyone except Tezuka had lost!

"Are you surprised?"

Seeing Shiba's reaction, Inoue smiled and said: "This is just the Tokyo Contest. The competition in the Kanto Contest and the National Contest is even more intense."

"Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, there are a total of 108 teams. In the end, only the winners of the semi-finals and the losing team's rematch will advance to the Kanto Competition. There are only 5 teams in total."

"As for the national competition, there are only 32 teams in Japan as a whole."

"Yes, indeed."

After hearing Inoue's introduction and initially understanding the whole situation of the junior high school tennis league, Shiba nodded in shock.

"in addition."

After a pause, Inoue seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "I heard that this year's Hyokui also has a very talented newcomer. Like Echizen, he is the only first-year player in this year's competition!"

"The same first year as Ryoma-kun?"

When Zhi heard this, her beautiful eyes blinked, revealing a strong curiosity.

After about 10 minutes.

At the entrance of the competition, the crowd gradually became commotion. "Coming, coming, they're coming!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to a group of teenagers wearing blue and white coats not far away.

"It's Qingxue! Qingxue, the runner-up in last year's metropolitan competition!"

"Is that Tezuka? This sense of presence is too strong!"

"Fu Er is so handsome!"

While the passers-by were talking, they also took the initiative to make way for everyone in Qingxue.

Under the leadership of Ryuzaki, everyone passed through and came to the registration area where tables and awnings were set up.

"What are you doing Echizen?"

Ryuzaki glanced at the time and said with an ugly expression, "What time is it and it's not here yet?"

"That. Teacher."

At this time, Dashi said with some embarrassment: "He just called me and said that he met a pregnant woman in labor on the road and sent her to the hospital. She is on her way now."

"Forehead!"

heard.

The corners of Ryuzaki's mouth twitched.

While complaining about Echizen's ability to lie in her mind, she thought for a moment and said: "If we pass the deadline of ten o'clock for registration and cannot gather eight main candidates, we will be considered eliminated."

Look around.

Ryuzaki looked at Horio next to him, pulled him over, and asked Haitang to take off his coat and put it on for him.

"I have no choice but to deal with it like this for the time being."

Subsequently.

Everyone went to sign up.

As the team's training consultant, Qian set off to other stadiums and began to collect information about Qingxue's opponents in the next few games.

"Ok?"

Just then.

At the entrance in the distance, there was suddenly another commotion.

"That is."

Qian looked intently, his eyes locked on the leading young man with a tall and straight posture and sharp eyes.

"Has Atobe Hyotei arrived too?"

Seeing Atobe, Qian frowned and subconsciously felt pressure in his heart.

This is a truly national-level master.

There are no shortcomings in terms of foundation, skills, or willpower.Among the entire Seigakus, perhaps only Tezuka can compete with him.

although.

According to the grouping situation, Qingxue and Hyokui will not meet before the finals.But for Seigaku, the existence of Hyotei and Atobe is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed in the Tokyo Competition.

So.

The most important task today is actually to collect the Ice Emperor's data.However, he also knew that according to Ice Emperor's past habits, all the main players would not be sent before the start of the second round of finals.

Like this time.

The people following Atobe were not some common faces.Even Hiyoshi, who had shone in last year's youth trials, didn't show up.

"That guy is Shishido?"

Seeing the young man wearing a blue-gray baseball cap behind Atobe, a flash of surprise flashed in Gan's eyes: "He actually cut his hair. It seems that the rumors are true. He lost to the mysterious Ice King Newcomers even have their hair, which symbolizes status, cut off.”

Qian felt a little sad.

His situation is actually similar.

In the school trials two months ago, he lost his status as a main candidate after losing to Echizen and Haitang in succession.

"I just don't know if the Ice King's super newcomer will appear today."

As soon as his thoughts changed, Qian was about to look away.

"and many more!!"

But the next moment.

As if he had seen some incredible scene, Qian Qian, who was always known for his calmness, actually showed a look of shock on his face.

"Then, that person turned out to be a member of the Ice Emperor?"
