The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 216 Conflict and Night Talk (4k)

Without any preparation, a battle for the ball was about to break out.

The fifty invited junior high school students showed off their talents and reacted extremely quickly to grab the tennis ball.

When this extra game ended, the result was obvious: the junior high school students won and everyone was guaranteed to score a goal.

Even people like Toyama Kintaro, Atobe Keigo, Sanada Genichirō and others just grabbed a bunch of tennis balls in their hands and exceeded their targets.

On the other hand, the high school students were naturally not so lucky. Looking around, they saw a large number of them unable to get a tennis ball, showing their true colors as trash.

Because they didn't get the ball, these high school students were naturally depressed. Looking at the junior high school students who had a great harvest, they began to speak ill of them and tried to blackmail the tennis balls by threatening them.

"Kuola - you junior high school brats! You are not allowed to grab so many balls by yourself!" A high school student named Junichi Sasabe walked out of the crowd and shouted in an extremely arrogant manner.

However, the junior high school students didn't take him seriously at all and didn't give any sense of existence to this meaningless and boring person.

"If I remember correctly, didn't the coach just say that anyone who fails to grab the ball should disappear immediately? Right, Yuushi?" The hot-tempered Mukaigoto immediately started to mock.

"Hahahaha, go back now!"

Compared to Mukaihi Taketo who was a little more sarcastic, Kirihara Akaya's words were very direct.

He can only be submissive in the Rikkai University team, but he is extremely arrogant to outsiders.

The conflict between the two groups was completely ignited at this moment, and the two sides began to confront each other.

This scene was also broadcast in real time to the coaches' offices through surveillance.

"Coach Kurobe, the statistics are out. Apart from the fifty junior high school students, nearly half of the remaining high school students did not get a tennis ball."

A staff member wearing a training camp staff uniform walked up to Kurobe Yukio who was sitting on the sofa and told him the data he had just collected.

"Oh? Are all those people without the ball those high school students..."

After listening to this, Kurobe Yukio looked thoughtful.

Just from this data, it can be seen that this year's second-tier high school students are basically trash and have no value in continuing to stay in the training camp.

However, what really surprised him was the overall strength of those fifty junior high school students.

The fact that they were able to grab an excess of tennis balls already showed one thing, that is, the strength of the weakest among this group of junior high school students is much higher than the average level of those second-tier high school students.

"Announce this result." Kurobe Yukio gave the order.

He looked at the surveillance footage and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

After the result is announced, those high school students who didn't get the ball will definitely be restless. He can also take this opportunity to use these people to measure the tennis level of these junior high school students.

……

In the crowd, Maya Yuuki watched all this happen with a bystander's attitude.

There is nothing to stop. He is just a Quincy, not the holder of the Face Fruit.

When the coach announced the result on the radio, subsequent developments were pretty much what he expected.

It was another classic face-slapping segment, where high school students questioned the abilities of junior high school students, and junior high school students beat up several high school students in protest, and then the conflict between the two sides intensified.

"This is so embarrassing. The guy who didn't get the ball, get out of here right now and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

A vicissitudes of life roar came from the stairs not far away. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red-haired high school student with a devilish face.

There were two people beside him, they were Onijūjiro, Irie Kanata and Tokugawa Kazuya, who were watching all this.

Needless to say, Kijujiro's status in the training camp was very important. After he spoke, no one from this group of second-tier high school students dared to show up.

The farce ended and the high school students who failed to grab the tennis balls left the training camp in shame.

Looking at the backs of those people leaving, Yuuki Maya understood that not all of them were really leaving, but some of them were going to the back mountain for hellish training.

After some people left, the originally crowded venue became somewhat empty again. After that, Irie Kanata came forward to explain some of the rules of the training camp to these junior high school students.

Obviously, the trio had an extraordinary aura that shocked the group of junior high school students. After watching them leave, many people had an impression of them.

That is, there are many monsters hidden in this training camp.

Not long after the trio left, the staff responsible for receiving junior high school students finally showed up.

First, they were taken to visit the various equipment and facilities in the camp, and then temporary rooms were arranged for them.

"Hey, Yuuki-senpai was assigned to a room by himself?"

During the dormitory allocation process, Kirihara Akaya also discovered something unusual.

His words also attracted the attention of other people from Rikkai University. After a closer look, they found that it was exactly as Kirihara said.

"I was surprised too, but this is the room I stayed in when I came here last year. I guess the staff wanted to save trouble and just assigned me back to my original place."

Yuuki Maya's surprise was real. He thought he would stay in another room this time.

After listening to his explanation, the other people from Rikkai University thought about it and felt that this was the only explanation.

……

After nightfall, the junior high school students who had experienced an exciting day returned to their dormitories to rest, and Yuuki Maya was no exception.

However, he had just rested in the chair for a short while when there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door curiously, only to find Irie Kanata and Oni Jujiro standing at the door of his room.

"Why are you here?"

After letting the two in, Yuuki Maya casually sat back in her seat and asked.

"After all, we haven't seen each other for a year. Of course I came here to say hello." Irie Kanata said with a smile.

"Come on, stop being so confused. If it weren't for something important, you two wouldn't be so impatient to come to me at the same time."

Not fooled by Irie Kanata's acting skills, the moment she opened the door, Yuuki Maya already knew that the other party must have other reasons for coming to her at this time.

"As expected I can't hide it from you..." Irie stopped smiling now and his expression returned to normal.

"I told you not to try this, Irie. Let me tell you about this."

Kijujiro interrupted Irie Kanata and looked at Yuuki Maya seriously and said, "I came to you this time because I have something important to tell you."

"This matter is related to this group of junior high school students, and it is also related to you."

When Yuuki Maya heard this, he immediately understood.

He already knew what the other party was trying to say, which should be related to the new competition system of this year's U17 World Cup.

"The reason why the training camp is recruiting junior high school students for training this year is because this year's U17 World Cup will be held with a brand new competition system. All national teams must have junior high school students on the team, and both sides must have junior high school students on the field in every round of competition." Oni Jujiro's words were very direct, without any beating around the bush.

The other party's words also confirmed Yuuki Maya's guess, and he appropriately made a somewhat surprised expression.

"So Yuuki, I need you to tell me honestly how good the tennis level of this group of junior high school students is."

Although today's farce made him see the potential of this group of junior high school students, he didn't understand these people after all. However, as someone in the same class as them, Maya Yuuki definitely understood them.

"Do you want to know their strength? Do you want to use me as a reference?" Maya Yuuki asked back.

Kijujiro was stunned by the question. He wanted to ask this question in his heart, but after thinking about it, he knew that this question was impossible to ask.

Because he still hasn't forgotten what his coach said last year, that someone like Yuki, whose growth curve is inhuman, has not appeared in the country for decades.

"Of course Gui didn't mean that. He just wanted to know if there is anyone among these little guys who has the ability to reach the threshold of the first army." Irie Kanata explained with a smile.

"Yes." Yuuki Maya replied concisely.

"Really?!"

This time it was Irie Kanade's turn to lose his composure. They had originally just asked with the mentality of trying their luck, but now Yuki's answer made them immediately prick up their ears.

"That's right. Although there are no people who have reached the top ten level of the first army, there are indeed a few who have reached the bottom ten level."

After thinking about it in her mind, Yuuki Maya spoke frankly.

This is true, Sanada Genichirō, Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Echizen Ryoma.

As it stands, these four people already have the combat power equivalent to the back ten of an army.

As for the others, a few are close to this level, but still need to be polished.

"I didn't expect that the level of the players in your class is not low!" Irie Kanata said with emotion.

At this moment, he seemed to recall the memories of his time at Maikosaka Middle School.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Now that the quality of this group of junior high school students has been confirmed, I feel relieved. The next thing is about you, Yuki." Kijujiro turned the topic to Yuki.

"related to me?"

Yuuki Maya was quite curious, what else could he be doing.

"It's about the NO.2 badge. You still have that thing with you, right?" Onijujiro said straight to the point.

"Of course I brought it. Senior Tanejima said that he would take it back from me. I'm really looking forward to it." Maya Yuuki thought that Onijūjiro was going to tell him about Shuji Tanejima.

However, the response he got was not what he thought. Onijujiro said in a serious tone: "The army that is fighting outside will soon return as a group. Byodoin's personality is hard to predict. I'm afraid he will cause trouble for you.

After all, all members of the First Army will basically obey his orders, but you are an exception..."

Kijujiro's worries are not unnecessary. The reason why the newly appointed No. 2 player Shujima Tajima did not go abroad was because of his physical condition. He was unable to take a plane, so he could stay in the training camp and slack off.

However, Yuuki Maya, the current No. 2, has not been heard from for a year after receiving the badge. Even if the coaching staff has no objection, it is hard to say what Byodoin Phoenix, the No. 1, thinks.

Moreover, as the only junior high school student among the top ten of the army, Yuuki Maya is very likely to be excluded.

"Thanks for the reminder, but if that's the case, that's great."

After understanding what Onijūjiro meant, Yuuki Maya smiled indifferently.

He was originally thinking that if he had the chance during this training camp, he would really like to fight with Byodoin Phoenix.

Now it seems that he doesn't need a chance anymore.

"Hey~ Judging from your reaction, Yuuki, you are not stronger now than when you left the training camp, right?!"

After noticing Yuuki Maya's calm state of mind, Irie Kanata asked tentatively.

"Isn't that only natural? I'm improving by leaps and bounds." Yuuki Maya agreed with a smile.

At this moment, he really has the confidence to speak here.

One reason was that after a year, he had already completed the second Quincy portrait in the spiritual space, completely completing the originally incomplete Perfect Holy Body.

The second is that after absorbing the reserved light of Echizen Ryoma some time ago, he has gathered both kinds of light.

The [Glorious Radiance] on the panel has been changed to [Perfect Radiance]

"Since you know what's going on, that's great."

When Kijujiro saw this, the stone that was weighing on his heart fell away.

After Maya Yuuki confirmed the strength of the junior high school students, he knew that this year's competition system reform would definitely be beneficial to them.

The only unstable factor now is that he doesn't know how Byodoin Phoenix will treat these junior high school students.

And Tokugawa Kazuya...

Thinking of this ghost Jujiro couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The conflict between those two people was impossible to resolve, and there would definitely be a war.

If possible, he didn't want to see this kind of internal strife before the World Championship.

The three chatted for a while, and after a while they stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, as if he remembered something, Oni Jujiro turned around and said, "Tomorrow the coaching staff will arrange for me to have a shuffle match with one of your junior high school students. They want to use this to intimidate these junior high school students."

"It might be a bit too much, you don't mind, right?"

After all, he is from the same class as Yuuki Maya, and Kijujiro is not sure whether it will cause dissatisfaction on the other party if he goes too far.

"I have no objection." Yuuki Maya shook her head indifferently.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey is indeed an efficient and simple method to better manage these troublemakers.

Making Oni Jujiro the villain will further promote fierce competition between junior high school and high school students, allowing them to train harder, which is also the result that the coaching staff wants to see.

The method is good, and the only unlucky person will naturally be the person who gets beaten tomorrow.

……

Early the next morning, the junior high school students got up on time according to the training camp schedule.

When seeing the various kinds of delicious food in the restaurant, most junior high school students couldn't help but marvel and were amazed.

After they finished their meal, the list of players for today's shuffle battle had already been posted on the bulletin board outside the building.

Most of the names on the list are high school students, but careful people also found something unusual.

That is, the hell gatekeeper of Court No. 5 appeared on the list, and his opponent was one of the fifty junior high school students who came here yesterday.
