Tennis: One look can subdue me, one sword can break the clothes of heaven!
Chapter 21 A Few People Who Stand Out
After Oreki Yuu and Marui finished their match, the group stage soon came to an end.
Afterwards, Oreki Yu took first place in the group with 18 wins, while Marui ranked second with 17 wins and 1 loss. Both of them advanced to the subsequent knockout rounds without any pressure.
As for the other groups, their progress is similar.
According to the rules, the top 8 people in the 8 groups will advance, and the rest will be eliminated. So in just one week, more than half of the original 200 people competing were eliminated in an instant, leaving only 64 people!
There are also some people who love tennis among those who were eliminated, but the game is cruel after all. It doesn’t care whether you love it or not. It only selects those who are strong as defined by the world, keeping the strong and eliminating the weak. The fittest survive, and the world has always been like this.
Anyone who can survive the baptism of rules is undoubtedly a person with strong adaptability and extraordinary talents.
the next day.
When Oreki Yu came to the stadium after finishing his part-time job, he found that everyone who appeared here had a different kind of sparkle in their eyes.
It was a look that seemed to be obsessed with something or longing for something.
If eyes can be likened to fire, then undoubtedly everyone here is burning!
Just standing here, you can feel the tense atmosphere.
“Is there such a change in just the top 64?”
Oreki Yuu looked at it in amazement.
He had seen many listless office workers in his previous life, but such a high-spirited group was rare. Perhaps it was only possible to see such a group in sales companies with serious PUA...
Oreki Yuu observed for a while.
It was found that most of those who advanced to the top 64 were juniors or sophomores, with freshmen accounting for less than 10% of the total, and they were all familiar faces.
"Oreki-san, this way!"
At this moment, Yukimura's voice came from the front.
Oreki Yu looked over and found that not only Yukimura was there, but also Sanada, Marui and others.
In addition, there is a brown-haired boy with squinting eyes.
Yanagi Renji...
Oreki Yu recognized this person immediately, and his eyes flickered slightly.
"Are you all here?"
"You came too late."
Sanada's cold words came.
Oreki Yu smiled and didn't care. He turned to look at Yanagi Renji and asked knowingly:
"Who is this?"
Yukimura said:
"This is Yanagi Renji, Yanagi-san. We just met."
"Hello." Liu greeted him politely.
Oreki Yuya smiled and nodded.
"My name is Oreki Yuu, and I'm a first-year like you. Thank you for your guidance."
When Liu heard this, there seemed to be a slight change in his expression. He said with a little surprise:
“Oreki…Are you the ghost boy from Team B? I’ve heard a lot about you these days.”
Hearing this title full of Chuunibyou, Oreki Yu smiled awkwardly and said:
"They are just making things up, don't take it seriously..."
At this time, Marui rested his head on his head, rolled his eyes and said:
"Don't underestimate yourself. There are only five people in the entire tennis club who have won all 18 games!"
Oreki Yu guessed that this guy was probably still brooding over his loss to him yesterday.
After all, he has 17 wins, just one point away from 18 wins.
As far as he knew, besides him, the only two first-year players who had achieved 18 consecutive victories were Yukimura and Sanada. Even Yanagi had lost a game.
As for the other two, one is the current minister, Shinichi Yamada, who has national-level strength.
The other one was a sophomore, and someone he was familiar with.
Mori Juzaburo!
He knew this person's information very well. He should have just transferred from Shitenbo Temple. He also had national-level strength and was extremely talented. Unfortunately, he was a little arrogant because of his talent...
"However, although the three of us have all won and advanced, we are still not at an advantage compared to the number of people who advanced from Minister Yamada's side..."
At this time, Yukimura said with a sad face.
Oreki Yu naturally understood what he meant.
This internal selection competition is actually, in essence, a battle for power in the tennis club!
On one side is the Yukimura faction consisting of these people, and on the other side is the third-year group headed by Shinichi Yamada.
Most of those who support Yukimura are first- and second-year students, but most of those who advance are third-year students. All together, their side accounts for less than 20%, which is a huge difference in comparison.
It's no wonder that Yukimura is worried, as this ratio already explains the problem to a large extent.
If the school values overall strength, they have actually already lost.
At this time, Yanagi Renji said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. However, since the school has not responded yet, it means they are still in the wait-and-see stage. As long as we stand out in the next competition, we may still have a chance to turn things around!"
Yukimura nodded, this was also the possibility he had guessed in his mind.
"Don't worry, I will personally defeat those annoying seniors!"
Sanada snorted coldly, and a flash of hostility passed across his face.
......
On the other side of the court, eight people gathered there.
They were wearing black and yellow uniforms that were different from the people around them, and from time to time people around them looked at them with half envy and half awe.
Every student at Rikkai University knows that this is the uniform that only the regular members of the tennis club can wear!
Undoubtedly, these people are all current regular team members!
The leader among them was tall, handsome, and had fierce eyes. He was the current captain of the tennis club, Shinichi Yamada.
"Bullmaster, those three first-year students have all been promoted!"
Hasegawa was also among the group, and he had a gloomy face at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Shinichi Yamada just sneered and said nothing, as if this was not something worthy of attention to him.
At this moment, another third-year student with a spiky haircut turned around and said with a smile:
"Hase, aren't you making a fuss over just a few first-year students?"
Hase's face looked a little ugly.
"Shuji, don't underestimate the enemy! As far as I know, not only Yukimura and Sanada, but also that brat named Oreki Yuu, they are all as powerful as you!"
The man called Xiu Er heard this, as if he had heard something absurd, and then sneered:
"Hase, are you stupid? You acted like a wimp after coming back from that interview! And now you're still here praising a bunch of useless first-year students, trying to boost their morale and destroy your own prestige?"
Hasegawa gnashed his teeth in anger.
"You haven't fought against them, so of course you don't know. Especially that kid named Oreki Yuu, I guess he should be around the national level!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Shuji, but the other regular players also burst into laughter.
"Pfft! Hahahaha~~ You really think that national-level is a piece of cabbage!"
"A few little brats who haven't even grown all their hair yet, you want to be national level? This is hilarious! Hase, I think you've lost your mind, haven't you?"
"That's right! They are just some little brats. Do you think all geniuses are street urchins?"
Hase wanted to say something else, but seeing that this group of people didn't believe him, he was too lazy to say anything more.
