[Net King] I really can't play tennis

Keep it in your mind, even if you encounter it, you can say one, two, three, four.

Unexpectedly, the tense mood calmed down immediately, Yukimura's face returned to normal, and the arc of the corners of his lips became the same as before.

"Sanada, Renji, let's go!" Yukimura smiled at the two.

Then--

He stretched out a hand and pushed open the door of the national competition lottery.

No.14 Days to Start Playing Tennis

People in school uniforms of various colors were scattered in the huge venue, and the chattering noise stopped abruptly the moment Yukimura opened the door.

With a "grunt", someone swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then returned to the original state.

"It's Li Haida——"

"It's Li Haida who is here!"

"Didn't it mean that their minister was absent from the Kanto competition due to illness? Why did he leave the hospital so soon?"

The rustling discussions suddenly entered Yukimura's ears non-stop.

Seeing the "popularity" of Lihai University Tennis Club again, Yukimura adhered to the principle of seeing more and doing less, walking straight through the rows of seats without changing his face, and finally chose a seat slightly in front.

Sanada and Liu are like two guardians, sticking close to Yukimura's side to protect him.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a "tsk" from behind, Yukimura tilted his head slightly, and looked back.

Yo, it's an old acquaintance!Atobe-kun happened to be here too.

So Yukimura took the lead in greeting with a smile: "Atobe-kun, long time no see."

"Oh, I thought you wouldn't come, Yukimura." Atobe was not angry after being stabbed, but said with a little doubt in his heart, "Li Haida has always been the No. 1 lottery , do you still need to draw lots?"

Bingdi and Li Haida are also old rivals in Kanto, and most of them know each other well. Li Haida, as the winner of Kanto and the winner of the whole country, has always been the same sign, and it has not changed in three years.

It's just that Sanada, the deputy minister, and Yanagi, the military adviser, often appear at the lottery venue to search for news about the opponents, but Yukimura, the minister, disappears every year, like an invisible person.

This time, he appeared here with great fanfare, which made Atobe smell something different. Coupled with the situation on the court yesterday, a vague guess floated in Atobe's mind.

Before he could think about it, Yukimura answered the call.

"If I didn't come, how could I meet Atobe-kun?" Yukimura seemed to be unaware that his words were a minefield, "We haven't seen each other for almost a week."

Sanada and Liu each coughed lightly, held back the smiles that came to their lips, and pretended they were just clearing their throats.

And Atobe, who was the person involved, began to wear a cross on his forehead.

"Atobe, when did you have such a deep friendship with the head of Lihai University?" A deep and magnetic bass sounded from the side, "Why didn't I know?"

Tracebu, who couldn't find an outlet for his anger, immediately aimed at the person: "Renzu, when will I notify you of my friend range? Right? Huadi?"

Only then did Yukimura notice the two people beside Atobe, and when they met their faces, he searched and recalled their names from his mind.

Yushi Ninzu, Takahiro Huachi.

One is Atobe's childhood sweetheart, and the other is Atobe's right and left hand.

"I'm just talking, why are you so angry." Yushi Ninzu muttered in a low voice, and then seeing Yukimura's eyes falling on him, he quickly stretched out his hand, "Long time no see, Yukimura-kun."

"Ninzu-kun, long time no see." Yukimura smiled back and quickly let go, "Let's watch the lottery carefully."

Then you just sit down and watch it right from the start!Atobe stared at the back of Yukimura's head, wishing he could split it open and see what was inside.

The ferocious look made Yushi Ninzu ask in surprise again: "Atobe, you are not feeling well, are you?"

"Yeah, if you can shut up, I'll feel better." Atobe replied sullenly, so frightened that Renzu Yushi hurriedly sat upright, without squinting, and concentrated on watching the lottery.

There are not many participating schools in this national conference. They are divided into four groups: ABCD. Among them, there are four schools that do not need to participate in the first competition. They are the winning schools in Shikoku, Beihai, Kanto, and Kansai.

The lottery numbers of these four schools are fixed, while the remaining schools need to draw lots to select groups and opponents, which is also a science that tests luck extremely.

Good signing luck is one of the necessary magic weapons on the road to success.If a good lottery is drawn, the road to promotion will be much smoother. On the contrary, if the lottery is not drawn well, most of the opponents are as strong as clouds, so it will not be so easy to overcome obstacles.

Keigo Atobe, Head of the Tennis Department of the Ice Emperor Academy, has a deep understanding of this.

As for the reason why Bingdi stops at the top eight of the national competition every year, it may not be because the lottery he draws is too bad.

And this year is also the last year, Goddess of Luck finally took care of Atobe-kun and prevented him from meeting a stronger opponent in the first match.

After the end, Atobe couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: It seems that this year is very hopeful that Ice Emperor will be brought into the quarter-finals, and he will not lose like last year.

Observing Atobe's appearance from the side, Yukimura snickered, and asked Sanada and Yanagi next to him in a low voice: "Atobe-kun, is this a good sign?"

Looking up, the names of the C group drawn by Atobe just now are the third-class objects that need attention in the data, so Yukimura hurriedly verified his thoughts with the two.

"Well, these schools are not considered strong opponents, and Ice Emperor's competition this year will probably be easier."

"In previous years, Atobe-kun's luck was not good. He was drawn to the top four schools in the first round, and Ice Emperor always lost early. Even though Ice Emperor has a good reputation in Kanto, it is rare to see him in the national competition."

"However, team battles and individual battles are separated, so players who occasionally participate in individual battles can still enter the national competition."

Sanada and Liu Yiren helped Yukimura clear his doubts.

And Atobe behind him pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

I didn't expect that Yukimura's sensitivity to the opponent would drop a lot if he didn't participate in the lottery, or was it because he was ill for too long that the opponent's information was unclear?

It seems that King Li Haida has not lost a lot. Atobe raised his eyebrows and walked around the three of them with great interest. I wonder if there is a chance to pull them down this year?

Before Atobe finished thinking about his blueprint, the staff on stage called the next school: "Next, Tokyo Youth Academy!"

"Tokyo Youth Academy representative—" called twice, but no one answered, the staff confirmed again, "Is the representative of Youth Academy not present?"

"Ah——sorry, sorry!" At this moment, a boy hurriedly stood up from his seat, with a shy smile, "I'm sorry, I'm the representative of Tokyo Youth Academy, Oishi Shuichiro!"

Probably due to nervousness, the movement of his stepping onto the stage has become like hands and feet, which made everyone who saw him laugh a little.

Yukimura, on the other hand, imagined that if he went to draw lots, he felt sympathetic: Maybe he would be more nervous than him, and I am afraid that he would make a lot of jokes like this.

But Dashi didn't make it to the stage. Before he went up, someone stopped him: "Dashi! Can I draw this lottery?"

The appearance of the visitor made the venue boil again, and Yukimura also squinted his eyes to look over, and read out the name of the person: "Tezuka Kunimitsu...?"

In the Kanto finals, one of the top players who was absent like himself, heard that the match between Atobe and him caused his old injury to relapse, and he had to suspend tennis activities for a while.

And now that he appeared, it seemed that his arm was healed.

Yukimura smiled, "Has Tezuka-kun fully recovered, too?"

"Tezuka is back?" Sanada frowned, "This way, Aigaku's threat is a little bigger."

"Indeed. During the Kanto finals, Qingxue was a major obstacle for us to win the championship. Now that Tezuka has returned to the team, we must not slack off any longer!" Liu also agrees very much, "If we meet, I am afraid it will be another hard battle."

When Yukimura heard what they said, he couldn't help worrying again: What if we lose the game?

Just as they were discussing, Tezuka had taken Oishi's place and the lottery was drawn.

"It seems that we won't meet before the finals for the time being." Yukimura couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the group Tezuka had drawn, "I didn't expect Tezuka-kun to be unlucky."

Taking a closer look, Qingxue and Bingdi may have another bloody battle before meeting Li Haida.

"I didn't expect Atobe-kun to meet you before us." Yukimura turned his head and teased.

Unexpectedly, Atobe not only did not refute this time, but looked at Yukimura with weird eyes, and said in an unclear tone, "Xukimura, when did you worry about your opponent?"

This time it was Yukimura's turn to froze, "What did you say?"

"Haha, I thought that with the arrogance of the king Li Haida, he must not take any opponent seriously. I didn't expect you to care so much about Qingxue." Atobe put his hand in front of his eyes and made a symbolic gesture, "This way Li Haida is really rare, isn't it, Huadi!"

"Wushi!" The silent Huadi also responded.

Yukimura's smile froze completely on his face.

No.15 Days to Start Playing Tennis

After participating in the lottery meeting, there is only the last day before the official competition of the national competition.

And Yukimura started to be absent-minded after returning from the venue, while the others were secretly giving each other winks while training.

Marui: "Yukimura is tired, did something happen at the venue?"

Nioh: "
