Time passed quickly. It had been half a month since Xiao Chen went to the Frost Monarch. Since then, Xiao Chen had never been to Tokyo.
Days passed, and the Kanto Grand Competition was finally approaching. The entire Lihai University tennis club attached great importance to the Kanto Tournament. The Kanto Tournament was not like the previous regional qualifiers and county tournaments. It was the most important tournament after the national tournament. Of course, this was for the schools in the Kanto region.
Every region had major competitions, such as the Kanto Competition in the Kanto region, the Kansai Competition in the Kansai region, the Kyushu Competition in the Kyushu region, and so on. These competitions were the most important competitions other than the national competition.
The Kanto Competition was a competition for all the schools in the Kanto region. Only the top four in the Kanto region could enter the national competition. Therefore, the competition in the Kanto Competition was very intense every year.
Xiao Chen, Yukimura, and the other three from Lihai University's tennis club had come together. They had now completely taken control of the entire tennis club. Many of the first-year players admired them, and even the seniors of the second and third years were in awe of them.
"Everyone gather." With Xiao Chen's order, all the tennis club members immediately gathered together. No one was late, which made Xiao Chen very satisfied.
"The Guandong Competition is about to begin. This time, we must win the championship of the Guandong Competition and complete our 14 consecutive victories in the Guandong Competition to continue our glory.”
"The list of players participating in the Kanto Grand Tournament is as follows: Solo No. 1 Xiao Chen, Singles No. 2 Yukomura, Singles No. 3 Tezuka, Doubles No. 1 Sanada Kazuyanagi, Doubles No. 2 Hayami Senpai and Inoue Senpai. As for Mori-senpai, you can be a substitute this time.”Xiao Chen announced the name list.
"Also, the Kanto Grand Competition is about to begin. The main contestants need to pay attention to their safety during normal times. Don't accidentally get injured at this critical moment and cause them to be unable to play.”Xiao Chen reminded him. He didn't want to see his team members unable to play because of an accidental injury and lose the game.
"Yes, sir!" All the team members responded.
"Let's start training. Liu, tell everyone about today's training plan.”Xiao Chen looked at Liu Lian Er, who had his eyes closed.
"Yes." Liu Lian 'er stepped forward and flipped through his notebook to announce today's training plan to everyone...
The Kanto Tournament had finally arrived amidst the nervousness and anticipation of all the schools in the Kanto region. The venue of the tournament was the Tokyo tennis park. It started at nine o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon.
All the official members of Lihai University gathered at the entrance of Lihai University High School in the morning and took a special bus to Tokyo to participate in the competition.
In addition to the official players, the rest of the ordinary players of Lihai University's tennis club also followed. They not only went to watch the game, but also to cheer for Lihai University.
They arrived at the Tokyo tennis park at eight o'clock in the morning. Lihai had a match against Yinhua High School in the morning. There was still an hour before the match, so Xiao Chen and the others planned to prepare for it.
The Kanto Competition was not an ordinary competition. Today was the opening day of the competition, and many students from schools in the Kanto region had come. Other than some of the contestants who participated in the Kanto Competition, the rest of the people were here to watch the competition.
Lihai University Affiliated High School had always been the overlord of the Kanto region. It had dominated the Kanto Competition for thirteen consecutive years, which had put a heavy pressure on the other schools. Lihai University was like a huge mountain pressing heavily on their heads.
If they wanted to win the Kanto Grand Competition, they had to move the mountain above their heads, which meant that they had to defeat Lihai University.
"People from Lihai University are here!" As soon as Xiao Chen and the others walked into the tennis park, many students from the school started whispering to each other when they saw them.
"I heard that most of the main candidates for Lihai University's tennis club this year are first-year players. There are only three seniors in the senior year, and the rest are first-year players.”
"No way. There are so many first-year brats. Can they defeat the senior players? I think Lihai University is in trouble this time.”
"Big mistake. Although most of the contestants from Lihai University are first-year students, in terms of strength, they are much stronger than the previous year. Didn't you guys watch the Kanagawa Prefecture Competition? Lihai University was extremely strong in every match, winning with a score of 6:0. The players who appeared were the first-year students.”
"So powerful! This batch of first-year brats was probably going to be heaven-defying!”
Xiao Chen and the other official members of Lihai University turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the other schools. They entered the tennis park without even looking at them. This kind of behavior naturally made some people unhappy, thinking that they were too arrogant. However, there were also people who thought that this was the behavior of the overlord of the Kanto region.
The president of the tennis club, Keigo Atobe, also came to the tennis park. Ever since he lost to Xiao Chen in the last match, his authority in the tennis club had decreased a lot. There were even many senior players who were not convinced by him. They thought that he was no longer qualified to be the president of the tennis club after losing to the president of Lihai University.
The senior players were already unhappy with a first-year kid being the head of the tennis club. If Atobe wasn't strong enough to suppress them with his strength, they wouldn't have acknowledged him at all.
Now that Atobe had lost to Xiao Chen, they naturally found an opportunity to attack him. Although Atobe was very angry, he didn't have any good ideas. After using his strength to shut them up, he began to train his own team.
Atobe Keigo had already started to train them and planned to let them become official players next year. Naturally, Atobe had brought them to the Kanto Tournament this time to let them see the strength of the players from other schools.
"Burg, Big Stone, where is the tezuka you were talking about?”On the other side, Shuusuke Fuji, Shuichiro Oishi, and the others from the Qingxue tennis club had also arrived at the tennis park. They were naturally not here to participate in the competition. Qingxue could not even enter the Kanto Grand Tournament this year.
A cute young man with an OK bandage on his face was surrounding Shuuke Fuji and Shuichiro Oishi, asking questions. Beside him was a simple and honest-looking young man, as well as a young man with hedgehog hair and a pair of glasses.
They were all first-year members of the Youth School's tennis club. As first-year members, even if they were good, they could only pick up balls. They had come to the tennis park today to watch the matches of other schools.
"Ying Er, Tezuka is an official member of Lihai University. He should be with Lihai University now.”Shuusuke Fuji said with a smile.
"I heard that Lihai University is very powerful and is the overlord of the entire Kanto region.”the young man with the hedgehog head and a pair of glasses said.
"Yeah, they've won thirteen consecutive Kanto tournaments. They're a famous tennis school.”Oishi Shuichiro nodded.
"Let's go and take a look at other places. Perhaps we can find Tezuka and the others!”Fuji smiled.
Qingxue and the others wandered around the tennis park. They looked at the players from other schools with interest while looking for Tezuka and Ritekai University's players. In fact, they were very envious. It would be great if they could participate in a competition like the Kanto Grand Tournament. However, when they thought about the current Qingxue tennis club, they no longer had any hope. The Qingxue tennis club could not even enter the Kanto Grand Tournament this year, so it was even more impossible for first-year players like them.
"I think I saw Tezuka." Shuichiro Oishi suddenly said.
"Where? Where are they?" Kikumaru asked excitedly.
"They are under the tent over there. The uniforms of the main candidates of Lihai University are all khaki. They should be the members of Lihai University.”Big Stone pointed at a tent not far away. There were many tents like this in the tennis park, and they were all used for people to rest.
"Let's go take a look and see what the overlord of the east is like.”Fuji said with a smile, and the group walked towards the tent.
However, when they saw the official members of Lihai University's tennis club, they were a little surprised. The main players of Lihai University's tennis club were sitting under the tent at the moment, doing their own things. Some were listening to music with a Walkman, some were reading, and some were meditating. It seemed that they were not nervous about the upcoming competition at all.
