"Although this level of competition is not very intense, it is also a good opportunity to hone new players. We can let the second team go."

Liu Lian was holding a list and looking through it while speaking.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came.

“Can I go?”

As soon as the voice came out, it instantly attracted the attention of Marui and Yanagi Renji.

“Oreki…are you kidding me? You’re going to participate in a tournament of this level?”

Marui's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible.

After all, even he was disdainful of participating in competitions of this level.

Competing with the weak will only make you worse and will have no real effect.

"Well, is that okay?"

"That... is not impossible, but are you sure you want to go? This level of competition will not help you improve your strength. It may just be a waste of time."

Yanagi Renji was a little confused and couldn't guess what Oreki Yu was thinking.

Yukimura, who was drinking water nearby, pricked up his ears involuntarily when he heard this.

“Although it’s just a lower-level tournament, it can help increase my understanding and knowledge of tennis.”

"...That's true. If that's the case, I'll help you report it."

Yanagi Renji didn't disagree with Oreki Yu's statement.

He just felt that through such understanding, at most he could only understand the tennis of the weak, which was not of much reference value to them. But since Oreki Yu said so, he could only respect him. After all, with this person's unfathomable strength, maybe he had other plans?

Oreki Yu nodded and went back to training.

Yukimura walked over with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Liu, do you think competing with the weak will help you become stronger?"

Yanagi Renji thought for a moment and said:

"At least... it can give me some confidence..."

"........"

Yukimura didn't ask any more questions, but just held his chin and continued to think.

.......

A week later, the regional trials began.

The strength of Rikkai University High School has always been well-known far and wide.

Therefore, if you are drawn to the Rikkai University College, you can basically only sigh that you have bad luck.

Yuta Daiichi Middle School was one of the top four teams in last year's Kanagawa Prefecture Tournament. There are two players in the club who can compete with others even in the Kanto Tournament, so their strength is quite good.

But after drawing the lots this year, everyone looked dejected.

Rikkai University High School!

They actually met this evil star in the first round!

It's just bad luck that her mother opened the door for her, it's really bad luck!

"Wuhu~It looks like this year's competition ended just as it began."

"Have we offended some kind of deity? Isn't this too unlucky?"

"Who drew the lot? Come out and take the blame!"

Upon hearing this, Minister Yutian raised his hand with a pale face.

When everyone saw this, they didn't know what to say. The minister usually treated people well, so they still had to give him some face.

At this time, a tall female coach came over and said coldly:

"Isn't it just that you got drawn to Rikkai University High School? Cheer up! You look so worthless, are you still men?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise for a moment.

It's good to be a man.

But this... the difference in strength is too great, isn't it?

At this time, the minister gritted his teeth and said:

"Everyone, Rikkai University High School is indeed strong, but we are not weak this year, right? And this is only the stage of the game, they probably won't be playing their first team, we still have a chance to win if we go all out!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

In previous years, Rikkai University has never produced a main player at this stage.

Maybe, we can take advantage of this opportunity to create an information gap with our opponent!

After all, their Yutian is much better than ordinary schools.

"So, we still have a chance?"

"It can't be wrong! They did this last year, and I remember they almost failed!"

"While they are looking down on us, let's give them a blow on the head!"

"That's right! We can't just give in like this!"

Sometimes, as long as people see hope, they will grasp the last straw, which describes the situation of Yutian No. 1 Middle School.

The next day, the competition officially began.

Just as the people from Yutian Junior High School expected, Rikkai University High School did not field any starting players.

Those who participate in the doubles competition are all members of the second team.

Its strength is between county level and Kanto level.

Although our overall strength is still stronger than theirs, there is still a chance!

After 3 fierce battles.

The tie between Yutian First Middle School and Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School was 1:2.

Thanks to the extraordinary performance of the team members, they won a victory without deploying two Kanto-level main players!

"Good! We won a round. Now we have a chance to defeat them!"

"That's right! Senior Sato and the Minister haven't made a move yet. Their strength is not inferior to those talented players from strong schools!"

"There is hope! We have a chance to beat Rikkai University High School!"

Everyone on Yutian's side became excited.

If they defeat Rikkai University High School, they will be setting a precedent!

Eliminating Rikkai University in the first game is something most academies would never dream of!

Maybe, from now on, their Yutian will become famous because of this battle!

"As I expected, Rikkai University High School underestimated the enemy. The players they signed up today seem to be from the second team. As far as I know, their regular players from the previous session did not choose to join the second team after being squeezed out. In other words, most of their second team members are not strong. With our main players facing them, we still have a chance of winning!"

The busty female coach crossed her arms and looked quite confident.

And at this time.

There were sudden bursts of exclamations from the crowd watching the game on the sidelines.

The female coach looked at it in surprise.

I saw a first-year student walking out from Rikkai University High School.

This young man had messy black hair and a delicate appearance. He looked ordinary, but his eyes were surprisingly calm.

The female coach stared at it for a while.

Then he suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

"This boy... could it be... No, that's unlikely! Why would he come to participate in a competition of this level?"

The female coach still had some hope.

But as the young man stepped onto the court step by step, just standing there, he seemed to exude some extraordinary aura, and there were voices of discussion from time to time around him, all these scenes were destroying the last bit of luck in her heart.

"Coach! We're sure to win this time. The other team actually sent out a first-year idiot! Hahahaha~ They're too arrogant!"

The minister laughed out loud twice and looked at Rikkai University as if it was an idiot.

After hearing this, the female coach looked at him as if he were a fool. She wanted to say something.

But in the end he sighed and still didn't say anything. Maybe it was better that the fool didn't know, so as not to undermine his self-confidence.

However, she really couldn’t understand, was that genius boy really so idle?
