I teach judo in Tokyo

Chapter 47 The trump cards
  Mifune Yumi handed the notebook in which she recorded information to Sousuke.

"Too close! I have good eyes."

Zongsuke pulled away her hand slightly and looked over seriously.

Among the pages that caught my eye, the page on the left showed several lines of large characters written with colored pens like a sketchbook newspaper.

"The Three Strongest Judo Schools in Tokyo"

"Hidetoku, Idasan, Fudomine"

Yumi Mifune happily leaned towards Sousuke and pointed to the three names on the notebook: "Sidetoku, Idazan, and Fudomine, the judo clubs of these three schools are recognized as the strongest teams in the Tokyo area. At least recently In recent years, the teams that have qualified for the national competition in the Tokyo area have basically been these three.”

"So, there are only three places for the Tokyo Regional Qualifiers?" Sousuke asked softly.

While he was talking, he saw at the door in front of him, Iga Yahiko had already boarded the bus with two teachers.

It seems that everyone is here.

Soon, the bus was started by the driver under the instructions of the two teachers and started driving.

As the vehicle swayed, Mifune Yumi, who was beside him, simply leaned on Sousuke and replied in a low voice with a smile: "Yes, Tokyo, as a popular area with many strong schools, can only have three tickets, and other small and strong prefectures can only have two. For tickets, most ordinary counties only have one qualifying spot."

She continued: "I just mentioned the three strongest teams in Tokyo. What I want to express is that if we, Hefeng, want to get a pass for the national competition, we must defeat at least one of them."

Then, while the two of them listened to the two teachers in front of them taking turns to tell them the precautions for participating in the competition, Yumi Mifune quietly taught Sousuke about the format of the regional qualifiers below.

To put it bluntly, it is a very simple knockout format mixed with a seeding system. After multiple rounds of competition, the four surviving teams will be eliminated. The three winning teams will be qualified to enter the national competition.

If you want to obtain this qualification, you must fight against the three recognized strong schools and wrest the spot from them.

According to the squad leader's secret data book, each member of the three strong teams is at least a black belt-level expert, and each team has at least two genius-level players serving as key positions of backbone and general.

In the past few competitions, Iga Yahiko led four bad guys to challenge such a team, and there was no doubt about the final result - they all failed.

The information of several key players is as follows:

The perfect Shinichiro Midorima: Hidetoku's ace, peak black belt, left-handed, all-around player with comprehensive skills and gorgeous style.

Shining Saku Seomi: Idayama's ace, peak black belt level, and recognized as one of the strongest players in the country last year.

Shohei Tachibana of the Lion: Fudomine's ace, peak black belt level, a wrestling style player named after a fierce lion on the grassland with a wide range of fighting styles.

"In short, each of these ace players is a talented judoka who is no weaker than our Iga Minister. They are all generals of their own teams." Yumi Mifune introduced seriously, leaning against Sousuke, "In other words, if If you want to lead our school to the national competition, you must defeat at least one of the teams."

The bus was driving a little swaying, causing the small Yumi Mifune to sway from side to side. Sousuke simply gently hugged her slender waist to help the squad leader stabilize her body. If the squad leader hadn't been so small, the people around You can definitely see the close distance between the two of them.

Thinking of this, Zongsuke felt another cold gaze and couldn't help but look back.

Wufang Mozi: Stare! (￣へ￣)
  This kendo girl seems to have decided that I am a bad person who deceives my schoolmates.
  Sousuke chuckled lightly, and gave Gokata Motoko a provocative eyebrow raise without any hesitation, and tightened his arms around the small waist of the squad leader in a demonstrative manner.

Needless to say, although the squad leader is short and not particularly curvy, his slender waist does feel strangely pleasurable when held up.

Wufang Mozi: Angry! (▼ヘ▼#)
  She squeezed the bamboo knife tighter, but the small-looking elementary school girl (referring to Yumi Mifune) didn't resist, and she couldn't help.

Sousuke smiled even more proudly. However, the judo master who was trying to provoke the kendo girl.

But he didn't notice that the monitor's ears, which he subconsciously hugged tightly around his waist, were slightly red.

  Not long after, the bus arrived at its destination.

After all, it is essentially still within the Tokyo area.

Bunkyo Ward and Chiyoda Ward are very close to each other, so the actual distance is not that far.

As the bus stopped, all the participating students from the judo and kendo clubs, plus the two accompanying teachers, a total of about twenty people filed out of the bus door.

"Dear students, we are now at the hotel next to the martial arts hall. Please line up and follow me. We will go through the accommodation procedures together. After returning to the room and putting away our luggage, we will set off to see the competition venue."

One of the two teachers announced the arrangement loudly. He was tall, with thick arms, and he looked very heroic.

Sousuke looked through his memory and found this teacher's information - Kentaro Zaraki, a physical education teacher at Hefeng High School and a coach of the Kendo club.

Zongsuke took a look at the physical education teacher's panel, which clearly showed his strength.

As for the other male teacher standing on the side doing nothing and looking at the thinner one, he is a main teacher and a part-time coach of the judo club - Hojo Kazuya.

This Hojo teacher is relatively weak, and because he is just a temporary and part-time coach - he has no judo level at all.

From this coach, we can see how far Hefeng's judo club has declined.

Under the arrangements of the two teachers, everyone quickly completed the check-in process.

Among them, there are six boys in the judo club, three of whom share a room.

The Kendo Club has both male and female teams, with six men and six women, and there are three in a room.

There was no team competition for Yumi Mifune, so she had no teammates. She signed up for the individual competition, so she was given a room for herself.

Sousuke shares a room with Iga Yahiko and Tasaki Yuta.

After returning to the room, putting away their backpacks and choosing a bed, the three of them sat on the bed and chatted while waiting for the teacher's notification.

Tasaki Yuta seemed very excited. After sitting for a while, he couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the small room, mumbling words such as "I'm here again in the national competition."

"Don't worry about him, he was like this last year, he couldn't hold it down." Iga smiled slightly under Sousuke's doubtful eyes.

"Where's the minister, are you nervous?" Sousuke calmly leaned on the bedside and raised his eyebrows at Iga.

Iga was stunned when he heard this. He was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked at Zongsuke seriously: "To be honest, two years ago, I wasn't nervous at all, because I knew that the end of our school would definitely be to go back home. But this year with you - I'm really worried about gains and losses."

Zongsuke chuckled: "Minister, don't worry, the two of us will join forces and this time, we will enter the national competition!"

Seeing Atobe Sosuke's calm look, Iga Yahiko couldn't help but become excited.

"Okay! Enter the national competition!"
