Prince of Tennis: Advent of Hyotei!

The feud between Hyotei and Higa Kunizhong has been formed.

However, although both teams are in Group A, Hyotei is No. 1 in Group A, while Higa Junior High School is No. 4 in Group A. If they want to meet, they need to enter the next round.

No team was drawn in A2, which means Hyotei will have a bye in the first round and go directly to the second round.

A total of 24 teams advanced to the national competition, and eight teams received byes in the first round.

At this time, it seems that Higa Junior High School has already set its sights on Hyotei.

Everyone at Liujiao Middle School immediately expressed their dissatisfaction.

Because they were drawn into Group A, No. 3, and their first-round opponent was none other than Higa Junior High School.

"We haven't lost yet."

"You're so anxious to meet the next round, isn't that too disrespectful?"

As the minister, Kentaro Aoi is not afraid at all.

But the people from Higa Junior High School all had ferocious looks in their eyes and showed no disdain at all.

Soon, the draw was over.

Each team left with results.

Some old rivals or new faces have made more or less harsh remarks.

At this time, Ice Emperor.

"For this year's national competition, the rules have been changed for the sake of entertainment and more variety."

"We will alternate singles and doubles, with singles three in the first game, followed by doubles two, singles two and doubles one, and finally singles one."

"It's still a best-of-five format, but the teams in the first round need to play all five games, regardless of whether they have won three games or not."

Coach Sakaki is explaining the rule changes for this tournament.

Upon learning of this situation, everyone was not too alarmed.

Other schools are also learning about the latest news about the national competition.

Like Hyotei, Seigaku was lucky enough to get a bye in the first round and advance directly to the second round.

This means that before the competition even started, they had already advanced to the top 16 in the country.

This is definitely rare good news for the Qingxue students who are entering the national competition for the first time.

"Wow, we're already in the top 16 before the game even starts? This is so lucky!"

Kikumaru was jumping up and down all over, he was so happy.

"It seems that this year, our Qingxue really has a chance!"

Dashi's face was also filled with joy.

"So, our first national competition opponent is Shizile Middle School in Kyushu?"

"I heard they were one of the top four teams in the country last year."

A gleam of light reflected from Qian Zhenzhi's glasses, and he reminded in a serious tone.

After hearing this, everyone who was originally extremely excited calmed down.

After all, the first team they will face is last year's top four team.

No matter how you look at it, this will be a tough battle.

At this time, Coach Ryusaki immediately spoke to comfort him, "Although Lion Music is very strong, I heard that this year they were defeated by a new strong team in the Kyushu region, Higa Junior High School in the Okinawa region."

“Also, all of their key players from last year’s national top four team graduated.”

“As long as we work together, I think defeating them won’t be a problem.”

Hearing this, everyone in Qingxue was thoughtful.

On the contrary, I am full of greater expectations for the debut.

At the same time, Fudo Peak.

Ju Jieping called all the members together to discuss some of the matters concerning this competition.

They did not have a bye in the first round, so if they want to advance, they must rely on their own strength all the way up.

"Now I am going to tell you the rules of the national competition."

"We must make use of the rules and overcome all obstacles!"

"This rule is a powerful weapon for us!"

Ju Jiping announced loudly.

Ever since he took over the Fudomine tennis club, he has adopted the most effective deployment method, creating a Tian Ji horse racing situation.

Thereby, the advantages of Fudo Peak can be brought into play to the greatest extent.

But before that, there was actually not enough room for maneuver after playing two doubles games.

Now, in the first three games, two of them are singles, which gives them more room to operate.

Because he doesn't move, his singles strength is actually stronger than his doubles strength.

"Okay, the first match, singles three, is up to you, Ibu Shinji."

"Then, the doubles team two will be Masaya Sakurai and Tetsu Ishida."

"I will personally play in the second singles match, and the first doubles match will still be played by Mori Tatsunori and Uchimura Kyousuke."

"The last one to fight, Kamio."

"However, if we continue to advance, the chances of reaching the singles level will probably be few and far between."

"Kamio, this is for the sake of victory, don't think too much."

"If there is any situation later, I will make timely adjustments."

Ju Jieping quickly informed everyone of his plan.

After hearing such a clear arrangement, everyone had no objection.

"Ju, don't worry, I'll listen to you!"

"That's right, Ju, whatever you say is what it is!"

"We don't move the peak, we are all of one mind!"

"..."

At this time, Liujiao Middle School.

Aoi: "Our first opponent is that arrogant Higa Junior High School."

Saeki: "Just defeat them."

Hei Yu: "That's right! We Rokkaku are not that easy to mess with."

"..."

At the same time, Rikkai University.

"Everyone cheer up! For Rikkai University's third consecutive championship!"

"Three consecutive championships! Three consecutive championships!!"

Under Sanada's encouragement, everyone's morale soared.

Yukimura was wearing a coat, his arms folded across his chest, observing with an expressionless face.

He was quite satisfied with the current momentum and nodded slightly.

For the half of the group where Rikkai University is located this time, the only possibility to meet Hyotei is to reach the finals.

Yukimura was somewhat surprised at this point.

After all, Sanada told him that during the Kanto Tournament finals, Ye Shifeng had already invited him to the finals.

And now the result of the draw seems to be seen through.

“It’s really an exciting opponent.”

Yukimura murmured to himself.

"The few rounds before the finals are a good opportunity to hone Akaya."

"How about this arrangement?"

Yanagi Renji arranged a prepared list and handed it to Yukimura.

Above, Akaya's name appeared prominently in the singles second position.

"Well, it's time for him to get some exercise."

"So be it."

Yukimura nodded slightly in approval.

At this time, another academy from Osaka, Shitenhoji.

Their situation is more relaxed and they don't even plan to continue training.

"Oh, it's so rare that I get to eat some plain noodles that Ah Xiu treated me to again!"

Kintaro Toyama walked on the road, patting his round belly, feeling very satisfied.

"You're the one who eats the most..."

Watanabe Osamu shook his head and said helplessly.

At the same time, he looked at his wallet again, and found it was empty. He immediately looked up and sighed, not daring to look at it a second time.

"It seems like there are a lot of new teams in this national competition. It might be interesting."

Shiraishi Kuranosuke smiled faintly, looking as gentle as an angel.

"Oh, really? I heard there's a guy named Echigo who's in the first grade like me!"

"I wonder if you can let me fight him?"

"Oh, and there's another one called Night Crazy! It seems like he glows when he plays ball!"

Kintaro spoke to himself.

"Xiao Jin, his name is Echizen Ryoma, and the one you mentioned is Ye Shifeng, not Ye Feng."

Ken Oshitari also held his face speechlessly, trying his best not to laugh.

"However, if we advance to the third round, we will have a chance to meet Hyotei first."

"You'll have a chance to meet Qingxue in the fourth round."

Chitose Chisato said.
