Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible
Chapter 67: Shonan Jounari is targeted by Hyotei
As time passed, the sudden storm seemed to be blown away by an invisible wind, and everyone's thoughts gradually shifted away from the previous episode and refocused on the preparations for the event at hand.
As for the two people from Cheng Cheng and Xiangnan, Tianyu felt that the answer was no, whether they had truly forgotten all the troubles in their hearts.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Atobe's confident hand gently placed the drawing container. As he completed the action, the grouping results of Hyotei Academy were revealed.
Unexpectedly, the wheel of fortune did not spin according to the predetermined trajectory. Hyotei did not fall into the vortex of Group D predicted in the original work, but was placed in the equally competitive Group B.
Meanwhile, Rikkai University, another formidable team, is in Group A. Rokkaku Junior High School is in Group C. As for Group D, it welcomes a relatively less prominent seed school not mentioned in the original novel.
As all the groups of the Kanto Tournament were finalized, everyone present was excited.
After carefully examining the group list, Tianyu couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.
Group B, a seemingly ordinary group but with undercurrents, actually brought together three of his "old acquaintances".
Hyotei Academy, Jounari Shonan, Yamabuki Junior High School, Aikun Junior High School.
Kajimoto Takahisa's face turned ashen in an instant, as if even the air around him had frozen. His heart was filled with helplessness and bitterness.
He knew he'd have to face Hyotei eventually, but he hadn't expected it to be this soon. Shonan Jounari had just had a heated exchange with Hyotei, and now they were facing off in a crucial match. It felt like fate had deliberately played a cruel joke on them. (Kajimoto: Is this targeting me?)
Takahisa Kajimoto felt mixed emotions. He knew very well that the gap in strength between the two teams was like a chasm. Even if he tried his best, it would be difficult to make up for the huge gap.
At this moment, all he could do was silently pray, hoping that Atobe Keigo would show some mercy in this duel and not turn the match into a foregone conclusion. (Atobe: You're dreaming, just patting your butt and walking away after provoking me? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!)
However, just as Takahisa Kajimoto fell into deep worry, Hiroshi Wakato beside him seemed to be in another world. There was a fanatical light in his eyes, and his mind was full of fantasies of defeating Hyotei and becoming a hero that everyone paid attention to.
He was completely unaware of the strange looks from the people around him. Those who saw through his delusion and looked at him with clown eyes, in his eyes, these looks were unimportant.
"Ah, Shonan Johshin's luck is incredible. He just provoked Hyotei, and now he's facing her directly on the court. This is simply the real-life version of 'If you don't commit suicide, you won't die.'"
Discussions in the conference room were heard one after another, and everyone had different mindsets, some sympathetic, some sarcastic, and some expectant. Their voices converged into a powerful torrent of public opinion, pushing the upcoming showdown to the forefront.
The atmosphere in the entire venue instantly became extremely tense and heated, and everyone was wondering how long Jounari Shonan could hold out. (Kajimoto: Thank you so much!)
……
In the meeting room of Hyotei Academy, the atmosphere had become slightly relaxed due to the announcement of the battle schedule, and the air was filled with a hint of confidence in impending victory.
When the words "Chengcheng Xiangnan" came into view, smiles of relief and confidence appeared on everyone's faces, as if victory in this match was already in the bag, and victory in the first round seemed to be just a stepping stone to the national competition.
However, this tranquility was soon broken by the news brought by Tianyu. His tone was a bit heavy as he recounted the provocative incidents that had just occurred.
Before he finished speaking, the relaxed expressions on the faces of Hyotei's regular players froze instantly, replaced by uncontrollable anger.
For the Ice Emperor, any provocation to honor and dignity is intolerable. With anger burning in their eyes, they vow to use the next game to prove the Ice Emperor's majesty to everyone.
"Atobe, let me go." Passionate appeals echoed in the conference room, each word imbued with power. They were eager to use their strength to make those who provoked them pay the price they deserved.
However, amidst this surge of calls for battle, Keigo Atobe's voice rang out like a huge bell, instantly silencing all the noise.
"That's enough, no need to say any more." His words were filled with unquestionable authority, and his eyes swept over every team member, as if he could see into their hearts.
"I have already made arrangements for the match between Jounari and Shonan. Doubles number two, Hiyoshi and Kabaji; doubles number one, Shishido and Feng; singles number three, Amaha; singles number two, Akutsu; and singles number one, will be played by me personally." His tone was very affirmative.
"As for the reason, I will explain it clearly to Coach Sakaki." Atobe continued, with a determined look in his eyes.
"Now, disband. I only have one request. After the game, I don't want to see anyone from Chengcheng Shonan walk out of this stadium intact." These words exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap.
They looked at Atobe in surprise. They hadn't seen him so angry for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited.
……
After everyone dispersed, only Tianyu and Jibe were left in the empty conference room, and the air seemed to be a little stagnant.
Tianyu's eyes were full of confusion. He slowly turned to Atobe, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts: "Atobe, since we are pursuing a victory without suspense, why don't you let Oshitari and the others go?"
Hearing this, Atobe curled up the corners of his mouth into a cruel smile, "Oh, Tianyu, you are still too naive. I want not only a complete victory, but also to make them remember the consequences of provoking Hyotei."
He paused, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp, as if they could penetrate any obstacle. "As for Oshitari, Mukai, Jiro, and the others, they are naturally stronger, but what I want is not just victory, but to make those people in Shonan Jounari remember what true despair is."
Upon hearing this, Tianyu couldn't help but worry for the players from Chengcheng Shonan.
He knew Atobe's character and methods very well, and once he made a decision, no one could change it.
So he could only sigh softly and silently mourn for Cheng Cheng Xiangnan in his heart for three seconds.
However, as for Wakato Hiroshi, Tianyu could only say that he would send him to hell with his own hands.
He felt very uncomfortable with Wakato Hiroshi's previous rudeness and provocation, his arrogance and arrogance.
Tianyu thought to himself, "Ruorenhong, I hope you won't bore me too much, otherwise I will be very disappointed."
