A week later, the regional qualifiers ended. The No.1 seed, Yamabuki, had successfully advanced to the Tokyo Grand Competition with the first place in the regional competition. Time flew by, and a month had passed. The Tokyo Grand Competition was about to begin.
In the afternoon, a white car drove into Shanchui High School.
Two people got out of the car. One of them, a young woman wearing a sun hat and carrying a camera, asked,"Senior Inoue, is Yamabuki High School very strong?”
She was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Her light makeup made her beautiful face look more mature, and her dark lip gloss made her look charming and sexy. Her name was Shiba Saori, a new reporter from the tennis monthly magazine.
"Oh!"
The driver was a middle-aged man. He had short professional hair and wore a light green checkered shirt. His face was thin, and there was a faint glint between his eyebrows. He looked like an experienced person.
Inoue Mamoru was the editor of the tennis monthly magazine, but he actually preferred field trips. He was calm and capable. The only flaw was that he would lose his calm attitude as an editor when he saw his idol, Echigaten Minjiro.
He was very serious about writing the information of the other players, but he would show a large degree of subjective judgment about the information of the samurai Minjiro. But overall, he was a trustworthy tennis reporter.
"Yamaki-na" Inoue walked in front and thought for a moment before saying,""It's considered a relatively strong school. There was a very luxurious doubles lineup. Among them, the " Potato Warriors " combination of Minami Kentaro and Dongfang Yami could be considered a national level doubles team!”
"Puff!" Shiba Saori couldn't help but laugh. She then said with a strange expression,""Potato soldiers? What a strange name!"
"Saori! Don't underestimate this name. Shan Chui's doubles are known as the ever-victorious doubles team.”Inoue immediately said solemnly, but then sighed,"It's a pity that they don't have any outstanding solo players. The only solo player they rely on is Qianshi, but he's not a player like Tezuka who has absolute dominance over the competition.”
"I see." Shiba Saori nodded as she looked at her senior with a hint of reverence. "As expected of a senior. You know every school's contestant like the back of your hand.”
Inoue, who was walking in front, heard this and smiled in embarrassment. He simply loved tennis and treated it as a part of his life. Also, he had a small wish, but it was almost impossible to fulfill.
Japanese tennis
As they walked, the two of them soon arrived at Shan Chui's tennis club. Just like Seigaku, Yamabuki's tennis training was also very enthusiastic as he was a famous tennis school in Tokyo.
Warm-ups, field training, and intensive training were carried out in an orderly manner under the command of the minister, Kentaro Minami.
"A minister with great leadership skills.”Shiba Saori watched for a while before skillfully taking out her camera and taking a close-up shot of Kentaro Minamiya, who was giving instructions.
"Yes, although he's a little inferior to Tezuka, he's still a rare talent.”Inoue nodded. Then, as if he had thought of something, his expression turned cold."Saori, the people Yamaguchi needs to pay attention to the most aren't his teammates.”
"Eh? Not a member? What's that?"
Looking at her confused expression, Inoue sighed and explained,""The reason why Shan Chui is so powerful and famous in the country is because of that man.”
"A man? Lead Shan Chui onto the national stage?" Shiba Saori's beautiful eyes flickered as she held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes glazed over as she pondered over something.
"Sigh!" Inoue touched his forehead, looking extremely embarrassed. "He's already in his seventies!"
" Uh..." Shiba Saori's expression instantly stiffened as she continued to fantasize. The muscles at the corners of her eyes twitched from time to time.
"Alright, let's go over there and take a look." Inoue shook his head and walked towards the main training ground. The woman behind him looked left and right. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes flashed as if she had found her prey. She walked towards the first grade training ground on the other side.
Bang!
Bang!
......
On the main court, the orange-haired Qian Shi ran at high speed. When he reached the tennis ball, his body stopped steadily and the racket in his hand was suddenly pulled out.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the crisp sound of the ball being hit, the tennis ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and accurately landed in the left corner of the baseline.
"Kacha!"
Outside the court, Inoue patted Qianshi, who had just pulled the ball, and praised,""As expected of Qianshi. Such a wonderful whip ball already has the style of the Kanto class.”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear where the tennis ball landed. After seeing this person's appearance, Inoue's expression turned cold. This was a player he had never seen before.
His skin was fair but not sickly, and his tall figure blocked most of the sunlight. His upside-down light gray hair was wild, and his ferocious and terrifying eyes made people's hearts tremble.
Hiss! This guy had such a strong aura!
The racket in the person's hand moved, and he swung it out as nimbly as an arm. The instant the ball and the racket collided, a deafening explosion made Inoue's eyelids twitch.
"What powerful strength!"
This kind of power was shocking just by listening to its voice. It felt even stronger than Aoki's Kawamura. Moreover, when this person swung the racket just now, he gave him a feeling that it was as if he was controlling his arms and fingers. Presumably, his control of the racket and his own skills had reached a certain level.
"Since when did Shan Chui have such a strong player?”
With Inoue's eyes, it was not difficult to see that the strength of this person in front of him was even above that of Qianshi. After taking a few more glances, he was even more surprised by the speed of the other party. His speed, strength, and technique had all reached the Kanto level. Combined with his figure and appearance, he did not seem to have such a person in Tokyo.
"Could it be that he transferred here?" Inoue's mind spun, but his hands were not slow. He took a few close-ups of this unfamiliar player. "Eh? Akutsu, Ren? Hiss!"
Through the camera, he saw the name on the player's jersey. At this moment, the other party seemed to have sensed something and looked over. That pair of beast-like eyes that emitted a murderous aura made his scalp go numb.
"What a terrifying fellow!"
Inoue quickly left and walked to the other contestants 'competition grounds.
Ten minutes later, he had saved more than ten sets of photos in his camera.
After watching every match, he had a better understanding of Shan Chui's strength. But in comparison, Qing Xue still had a slight advantage. After all, there was the national Tezuka holding the fort, and there was also the rookie Echizen Ryoma that he had high hopes for.
"However, I haven't seen the scariest person in Shan Chui yet.”
Inoue's mind flashed with that frightening smiling face. He straightened his face and followed the road to the office of the tennis club.
"Sorry to disturb you!"
After entering the door, he bowed deeply to the old man who was sitting in deep thought. Then, he said embarrassedly,"Coach Tomoda, sorry to bother you."
"Oh? It's Inoue!" Elder Ban withdrew his thoughts from the name list and smiled."Have a seat. I'll make you a cup of tea."
"Ah, please do as you please." Inoue smiled awkwardly.
Actually, his relationship with Elder Ban was not as good as his relationship with Coach Long Qi. However, tennis and magazines were closely related. Both sides knew that only by complementing each other could Japanese tennis develop healthily.
"Oh? Is this the list of contestants for the Tokyo Grand Competition?”
Sitting on the chair, Inoue saw the form on the table at first glance. He couldn't help but read it out softly,"Double 2: The new ferry Mi Daoji, Xi Duo a horse, double a: Kentaro Minami, Masami Dongfang."
As expected, this was Yamazaki's winning lineup from last year's battle in Kanto.
"Singles 3: Muromachi 10 times, Singles 2: Thousand Stones pure and innocent, single play one: What is this?"
After seeing Shan Daichi's name, Inoue immediately thought of that wild face. However, this was not the most important thing, because he saw a name that was smeared out in front of Ajiujin.
He frowned slightly and carefully identified the handwriting."Origin?"
"What's wrong?" At this moment, the old man who had brewed the tea put the tea aside and said with a smile,"Mr. Inoue, how was your harvest today?”
Inoue retracted his gaze and laughed."Not bad, Yamakura is indeed one of the strongest teams in Tokyo over the years. His doubles lineup is impeccable!”
"Oh?" Old Ban was slightly surprised, then he smiled and said,""This year's Shan Chui might surprise people.”
"Yeah," she said.
Inoue responded, but he couldn't understand what this old fox was trying to do. Logically speaking, this person was best at hiding his trump card, and he would never talk nonsense unless it was war. Was it because of that person?
Akutsu's appearance appeared in his mind again, but he immediately denied it. That person couldn't give Tomoda such confidence. But what could it be? Tactics? Hiding his trump card?
Inoue still hadn't figured out this problem until he left the school. Suddenly, he had a thought and asked the woman beside him,""Saori, did you take any other photos of the main candidate?”
"Ah?" Shiba Saori, who was busy sorting out her camera, was shocked when she heard this. She then stammered,""No, no."
"Eh?" Inoue looked at her screen and frowned.""What are you filming? This is the first grade, right?"
"No, this first grade student called Taiyi is not bad. I think he is very likely to be the next Dragon Horse.”Excitement flashed across Shiba Saori's beautiful eyes as she said in a smitten manner,"Most importantly, he's too cute!!!”
"Uh, the last sentence is the main point, right?”Inoue's face was filled with helplessness. Suddenly, his expression changed and he hurriedly shouted,""Quick, go back!"
Ignoring the angry woman, he grabbed the camera and pressed the scroll button repeatedly.
Shiba Saori, who was standing beside him, also looked over. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly."This is?"
Not far away from the first-year students who were training, a tall man wearing the uniform of the main selection of the mountain was training against the wall. After zooming in, the two of them could clearly see that the place where the tennis ball hit was actually deeply sunken. It was neither too big nor too small, just enough to fit a tennis ball.
" I see." Inoue's brows relaxed. He suddenly realized that this was the eighth main candidate who had been chosen by Tomoda Zangzhuo.
"Origin?"
He was looking forward to it. It seemed that there would be an intense battle in this year's Tokyo Grand Competition.
