Campus time always flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the day of selection for the tennis club.
In the past few days, whether they are first-year freshmen who have just joined the club or senior members of the second- and third-year tennis club, they are all training like crazy, just to compete for the position of the Ice Emperor's main selection.
At this time, in the first-year group A, Kanna Shinichi was sitting at the table, holding the group list and talking with Atobe Keigo standing next to him about the main selection in the school.
"There are so many people applying to participate in the main selection this time, almost everyone in the tennis club has applied."
Kannashi handed the list to Atobe. As deskmates and teammates, after getting along for the past few days, the two are now much more familiar with each other than before.
Taking over the list, Atobe Keigo looked at the densely packed names, his head was spinning: "How do you want to deal with it? Are you going to let them all enter the round-robin round of the main selection?"
Rubbing the center of his eyebrows, Kannawu Shinichi was also thinking about how to streamline the list.
If everyone is allowed to participate in the round-robin competition, I am afraid that even before the competition begins, the Ice Emperor may not be able to select the main candidate.
After a long time, Kami Noshinichi finally spoke: "Let them draw lots for a one-on-one elimination match, and finally select fifty people to participate in this round-robin round."
"It seems like this is all."
After hearing this, Atobe Keigo also nodded. The best way now is to eliminate a group of people first according to what Kami no Shinichi said.
"By the way, we will also divide these people into groups to prevent two people with strong qualifications from appearing in the same group."
After all, this is a lottery competition, and everything is possible. Kami Shinichi has to plan more, otherwise if he and Atobe meet in the knockout round, one of them will definitely lose the main selection.
After hearing this, Atobe nodded and did not object.
Seeing this, Kami Noshinichi put himself into a group with Atobe, Akutsu, Ninzu and others.
Then, those who had hope of entering the main selection, such as Shishido Ryo, Mukahigatake and others, were also divided into groups.
This ensures that players with strong main selection ability will not be eliminated early due to bad luck when encountering opponents like Kanna and Atobe.
After the two divided everyone into groups in the class, they went to the tennis club together, and then posted the group names on the notice board next to the tennis court.
Then the tennis club players who participated in the selection were summoned and the drawing of lots began.
This knockout competition is divided into ten groups, with twenty people in each group, in one round. If you lose, you will be eliminated directly. In the end, five people from each group will be left to participate in the main selection round-robin.
The knockout round began soon, and the opponent Kannashi met in the first round was a third-year senior.
As soon as Shen Wuxin walked onto the court, he saw the senior student opposite him frowning and begging with a grimace on his face: "Minister, please be merciful!"
Shen Wuxin nodded calmly, and then a few minutes passed.
"The game is over, the score is 6:0, Shenwuxinyi wins."
The third-year senior opposite was slumped on the ground, muttering: "I'm so unlucky. I'm really unlucky."
Putting away his racket and looking across at the senior who was doubting his life, Kami no Shin swore that he was really merciful.
Not long after the game here ended, the games between Atobe, Ninzu, Akutsu and others also ended quickly, most of them taking less than ten minutes.
Twenty minutes later, a few more first-grade students stood out. They were the trio from Hyotei Elementary School. They also defeated their opponents in the first round of eliminations.
On the court at this time, many senior students who had been eliminated were squatting in the corner, doubting life together.
"This year's first graders are so strong. I only lasted twenty minutes in the hands of that boy named Shishido Ryo..."
"What do you mean, I was eliminated by that guy named Yushi Ninzu in ten minutes..."
"Monster, monster, that one named Akutsu, it's really scary to play ball..."
……
The edge of the tennis court has become a place where many seniors complain.
At this time, a senior who was eliminated looked at the person next to him and asked in confusion: "Didn't you already win the first round? Why are you crying here?"
The man showed a face that looked uglier when he smiled than when he cried: "My next opponent is Minister Kanna."
After hearing this, people around him gave him expressions of silence.
The first round of competition has ended, and there are now ten people left in each group. As long as they win the next round, they can participate in the main round-robin competition starting tomorrow.
At this time, Kannawu Shinichi had already walked onto the court. He only saw a second-year senior opposite him, holding a racket tremblingly and looking at Kannawu Shinichi with pleading eyes.
"Don't worry, senior, I will be merciful."
Five minutes after Shen Wuxin finished speaking.
"The game is over, the score is 6:0, Shenwuxinyi wins."
"Minister, you are lying..."
Looking at the second-year senior who was paralyzed on the ground, Shen Wuxin shook his head: "I really showed mercy, why don't you believe it?"
Shortly after Kanna Shinichi finished the game, Atobe, Ninzu and Akutsu also finished the game and came to Kanna Shinichi's side.
"These so-called tennis club seniors are really too weak." Atobe Keigo looked at the tennis club seniors lying on the ground with disdain in his eyes.
His words were also recognized by Ninzu Yushi and Aku Tsujin, both of whom nodded their heads slightly.
"But in this year's first grade, I saw a few good guys."
Yushi Ninzu recalled that just after the game, he saw several first-year students eliminate the seniors without losing a game, so the memory was profound.
"The ones you mentioned are all geniuses from Hyotei Elementary School. The guy with burgundy hair is named Mugahigatake. He is good at jumping and has pretty good skills;
The guy with long ponytail is called Shishido Ryo. He is famous for his fast breaks. He is best at breaking through the net. As for the orange curly-haired guy, his name is Jirou Akutagawa. He is the strongest among the three and is a good at breaking through the net.
He is a genius in volleying. Now, apart from the four of us, he is the strongest in the tennis club."
As soon as Kami no Shin said this, he looked at the Atobe trio and said with a hint of amusement: "Tomorrow's main selection round-robin, do you want to compete with them?"
"Want to pick your own opponent? Interesting!" Atobe raised his brows slightly, then looked at Ryo Shido who was chatting and laughing with Hidake Ren not far away after the game: "Assign that guy named Shishido to me tomorrow.
”
Seeing Shishito Ryo, Atobe Keigo suddenly remembered that when he played against Kami Shinichi, this guy was the one who teased him the longest. Now that he had the opportunity to take revenge on the tennis court, Atobe would not miss it.
Don’t think that Mr. Jibu doesn’t hold grudges.
Ninzu Yushi pushed up his glasses, looked at the burgundy-haired boy, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Then I will choose the Hidden Mountain Man!"
"Okay, I will arrange for you to be divided into a group tomorrow." As the head of the tennis club, he still has this right. Then, Kannashi looked at Akutsu: "What about you, do you want to play with Jirou Akutagawa?
Competition?"
After hearing this, Akujin just nodded lightly.
"Well, when I hand over the group list to the consultant, you can play against each other tomorrow."
As soon as Kannamushin finished speaking, the three Atobu people looked not far away. Just because they had entered the round robin, the trio from Hyotei Elementary School were having fun there...
