Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Atobe asked everyone to go to training to prepare for tomorrow's school tryouts.

"Tianyu, how are you going to arrange the groups for tomorrow's school tryouts?" asked Atobe.

Tianyu heard this and smiled softly, "I'm fine with that. You can arrange it however you like, just stagger the ten of us into different groups. As for Taki, I know this decision may make him feel disappointed, but I must be honest. With his current form and strength, he's truly not qualified for a starting position. This isn't a rejection of him personally, but rather a consideration for the overall interests of the team. However, I have other plans for him."

"Then I'm relieved. By the way, someone from Tennis Monthly will come to interview our school tomorrow. Do we need to conserve our strength?" Atobe asked.

"No need. The Metropolitan Conference will be held in a month. By then, all of us at Hyotei will have undergone a complete transformation. This will just give the outside world the wrong information."

"That's no problem. I have every confidence in you. Also, I have a request. After the Kanto Tournament, please fight me. Give me a month or so, and I'll catch up with you."

Tianyu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." Although he said that, Tianyu knew that Atobe would probably never catch up with him in his lifetime (wanting to catch up with Guabi, do you think my system has no face?)

……

A day of training passed quickly, and the next day came in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, hey, hey, did you hear? It looks like the tennis club is holding the main draw trials today."

"Really? Really? Go and cheer for Master Atobe."

"I heard there's a really handsome new deputy minister."

"Hey, yeah, yeah, go quickly."

……

At the solemn and elegant gate of Hyotei Academy, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadows, adding a bit of mystery and vitality to this prestigious school with a long history.

Mamoru Inoue, a veteran sports reporter, was standing here, gazing deeply into the depths of the campus, his heart filled with anticipation and curiosity about the upcoming interview.

Hyotei Academy, this name is known to almost everyone in the tennis world. It is not only a temple of academics, but also a cradle of tennis elites.

Countless times, Mamoru Inoue has set foot on this land and recorded the glorious moments of one talented player after another with his camera and words.

From Keigo Atobe, who reigns over the court like an emperor, to Yuushi Oshitani, a talented young man with extraordinary skills and keen insight, they shine as brightly as stars, illuminating the sky of Hyotei Academy and even the entire tennis world.

However, today, Inoue Mamoru has a special expectation in his heart.

Because he heard that Hyotei Academy had recently welcomed a new force - a vice-president whose strength was strong enough to shake the existing situation, and another top master who was also from the national level.

The addition of these two new stars has undoubtedly injected new vitality and possibilities into Hyotei Academy, and has also shocked the entire tennis world.

Inoue Mamoru knows very well that competition in the tennis world has always been fierce, and every slight change may trigger a chain reaction and rewrite the pages of history.

If these two new members are as powerful as the rumors say, they will not only push Hyotei Academy to strive for higher honors, but are more likely to break the existing balance and bring about earth-shaking changes in the landscape of tennis.

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed in Inoue Mamoru's eyes.

He couldn't wait to meet these two powerful men and personally feel the suffocating oppression and unlimited potential from them.

He knew that this interview was not only an in-depth exploration of Hyotei Academy, but also an important testimony to the future direction of the tennis world.

The Hyotei Academy tennis team, everyone stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at their groups.

Group A (3 qualified): Atobe Keigo, Mukai Taketo, Hochotaro, Takitanosuke...

Group B (three qualified): Tian Yulin, Hiyoshi Waka, Akutagawa Jiro...

Group C (two qualified): Jin Akutsu, Takahiro Kabachi...

Group D (two qualified): Oshitari Yuushi, Shishido Ryo...

Those who qualify from each group will then compete in qualifying rounds and be ranked.

"Hey, everyone, look, what's going on? There are actually ten regular players in this year's selection. This is unprecedented!" In a corner of the meeting room, a team member excitedly shouted to his companions around him, his eyes flashing with surprise and anticipation.

"Yeah, yeah, I noticed that too. Could it be that our team has become much stronger this year and needs more elites to cope with various challenges? Maybe I can even have a place in the starting roster this time!" Another team member echoed hopefully, his hands unconsciously clenched, as if he had already foreseen the moment when he would put on the starting jersey and stand on the court.

Similar discussions were heard throughout the tennis club, and everyone was immersed in their anticipation for future possibilities.

Amidst the clamor, Atobe, who was sitting at the front of the conference room, quietly observed everything below with his unique noble temperament.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

"Tianyu, is this also part of your careful plan? Such a big change can actually be under your control, which really makes people admire you." Atobe said softly to Tianyu who was sitting next to him, with both praise and a hint of ridicule in his words.

Tianyu smiled softly upon hearing this, a smile that held both confidence and a hint of amusement. "I don't deserve that, Atobe. I simply followed everyone's wishes and gave everyone a chance to demonstrate their abilities. As for the outcome, that depends on their own hard work and luck. However, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the changes this selection brings. After all, this is what you were hoping to see, right, Atobe?"

Hearing this, Atobe snorted softly and said stubbornly, "Why are you nagging me? I just think this selection method is fairer and more just. Don't underestimate them. What if someone really stands out and becomes a regular in the team and takes your place? Don't regret your decision then."

Tianyu smiled slightly and did not continue the topic. He knew that although Atobe looked cold and arrogant on the surface, deep down he was full of expectations and enthusiasm for the team.

This change in selection will undoubtedly unleash the potential of more people and make the entire team stronger.

……

At this moment, Mamoru Inoue slowly walked into the venue surrounded by heated discussions, and an expression of disbelief unconsciously appeared on his face.

As the editor-in-chief of a monthly tennis magazine, he was well aware of the traditions and rules of the club. The number of seats for the starting players had always been fixed at eight. This was not only a long-standing practice of the Hyotei Tennis Club, but also a symbol of its strength and rigorous attitude to the outside world.

However, the news he heard today was like a bolt from the blue, completely overturning his cognition.

This year's Hyotei Tennis Club unexpectedly broke this long-standing tradition, with the number of regular players increasing to an unprecedented ten.

This is not just a change in numbers; the meaning behind it is far more than that.

It means that in the Ice Emperor, a palace that gathers countless tennis elites, the competition this year is extremely fierce, so much so that ten players have stood out from the many outstanding players with their extraordinary strength and unremitting efforts and won this precious main selection qualification.

It can be said that Hyotei is the strongest ever this year!

Thinking of this, Mamoru Inoue couldn't help but feel awe for Hyotei's starting lineup this year.

The Hyotei Tennis Club's selection criteria are renowned throughout the academy and even the nation for their stringent standards. It brings together tennis experts from all corners of the globe, each one possessing a passion and a dream for tennis. Only after rigorous selection can one become a member.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to stand out among these 200 elites and become one of the ten starting players.
