Chapter 16 Battle
Not to mention that Tezuka was preparing to start making trouble following Yuu Kamishima's hint.
The first group training of Hyotei's regular players has begun.
This is also the first collective activity organized by Atobe since he became the minister.
After spending a week together, everyone has become more or less familiar with each other and is no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning.
The seniors Kaida Nobuyuki and Sakamoto Kumaji are both very good-tempered people. Now the atmosphere in the first team is basically harmonious.
Of course, the training location sponsored by Mr. Atobe this time is a villa area outside the Atobe family.
It is located in the suburbs of Tokyo and is sparsely populated, but the training equipment is very complete and suitable for certain field training.
When the group arrived at this training base which could be described as a luxurious villa, they all looked at Atobe in surprise.
"What are you looking at?" Atobe felt a chill!
"Wow, Atobe-san, your house is so... so big."
"This is heaven, wow, and there's such a big swimming pool."
Mukaito stared at Atobe with shining eyes, and ran to one side to look, then ran to the other side to look.
He sighed: "When will my home be as luxurious as this one!"
"Idiot, this is obviously a place where Atobe doesn't live often, how could it be the Minister's home?"
Oshitari calmly rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly.
"Um?"
Mukai Gakuto, Kaida Nobuyuki and others looked incredulous.
"That's right. This is just a place where I occasionally come to relax and cool off. There are many places like this in Tokyo. Right, Karaji!"
Atobe shrugged and said calmly.
"yes!"
The birch field also connects very naturally.
Xiangri and others were instantly scorched earth.
"So, let's just enjoy Mr. Atobe's hospitality this time."
Looking at Xiangri with an "orz" look on his face, Shangshanyou patted his shoulder with a smile.
"He is the only heir to the Atobe Group. You have to get used to it slowly."
Oshitari also ran over and stabbed Hiashi again.
"Tsk, you two are not polite at all."
Atobe couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Uesugi Yu and Oshitari making fun of Xianghi.
" Okay, okay, everyone knows you are a young master."
"Don't forget our plan."
Uesugi Yuu moved closer to Atobe, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered.
A gleam of light flashed in Atobe's eyes, and he snorted, "Don't worry, I have already made preparations without your reminder."
Uesugi Yuu smiled. He still trusted Atobe very much in this regard.
After all, the training plan he gave was carefully calculated for each person on the system panel.
When Atobe first received the plan that I gave him, he was shocked.
In just a few days, Shangshan You has collected such complete data on everyone?
Obviously, we just did some basic training this week.
Or did it start during the trials?
At that moment, Atobe raised the level of Kamisama Yu in his heart to a higher level.
Then the two of them "plotted" for a long time, which led to this group training outside.
Among them, matters such as leave, venue, and facilities were naturally left to the wealthy Mr. Tobe.
"Don't forget the agreement between you and me!"
When Atobe saw that Uesugi Yuu was trying to slip away, he quickly grabbed him and said seriously.
"Don't worry, I won't slip away after the training camp."
Seeing that Atobe was so serious, Uesugi Yuu smiled and waved his hand.
“You bastard…”
Atobe immediately let go of Uesugi Yu's arm in annoyance.
Atobe is not a fool. As smart as he is, he has already realized that Uesugi Yu has no intention of competing with him for the right to speak in the tennis club.
He even took the initiative to show goodwill and safeguard his position as minister.
But now when he thought about what he had said that day, he couldn't bring himself to take it back.
That was after the official selection was over...
After leaving him and Uesugi Yu alone, Sakaki Taro left on his own.
His meaning was self-evident. You solve it yourself, I just need a result.
Atobe didn't say much at the time, but just bluntly asked Shangshan You to fight him.
Not to mention that Bingdi now believes in the idea that the strong are king, even he hopes to have a good fight with an opponent of the same level.
However, it was beyond his expectation.
Uesugi Yuu didn't respond, but instead asked him, "Atobe, have you figured out where your goal is in playing tennis?"
"Haha, my goal is of course to be the national champion~"
This question has always been clear to me, so I answered it without thinking too much.
However, Uesugi Yuu smiled and shook his head.
"Atobe, what does tennis mean to you?"
"Maybe because of family pressure, tennis in the past few years of junior high school is just a hobby for you, just like Mr. Sakaki."
"And for me, my goal is this, to be number one in the world!"
Atobe still clearly remembers the arrogant look of the young man as he stretched out a finger under the reflection of the evening glow.
Those powerful words contained an unquestionable will.
As if infected, Atobe opened his mouth in surprise, but no words of rebuttal came out.
At this moment, he seemed to truly know this amiable young man named Uesugi Yuu.
"So, there is no conflict between your existence and mine."
"and……"
"You are still a long way from where I am now." Shang Shanyou said, exuding a powerful aura.
That aura as deep as the abyss was infinitely stronger than when he competed with Oshina.
Atobe felt like he was hit again.
"Have you reached that level?" Atobe asked in shock. He knew very well that this was the step he wanted to take now.
He finally understood why Uesugi Yu could be so shameless. He was at the national level at the age of twelve. Even abroad, he was in the No. 1 sequence in the U14 level.
Atobe really didn't expect that there would be such a person among his peers in Japan.
However.
Uesugi Yuu then gave him another critical hit.
"Do you feel that I am now the strongest freshman in Neon?"
Uesugi Yuu had a smirk on his face.
"Isn't it?" Atobe's eyelids twitched twice and he asked uncertainly.
"Is there really someone stronger than you?"
Looking at Uesugi Yu who hadn't responded, no matter how slow-witted Atobe was, he knew that he was not joking.
"Yes, there are two more like me," Uesugi Yu raised two fingers and waved them in front of Atobe.
"And they are all first graders like me!"
After hearing what Kamisama Yu said, Atobe was really speechless this time.
Isn't it said that Neon is a tennis desert? How can there be such a green desert?
"Who are they and which school are they in?" Atobe paused and then continued asking.
However, Shangshan You shook his head again and said in a confused tone: "You will encounter it in the future. It's useless to tell you now."
This immediately made Tebe's teeth itch with anger. Uesugi Yuu, you bastard, don't let me catch you.
"So, Atobe, hurry up and take that step. We won't wait for you in front."
Without further ado, Shang Shanyou said one last word and left the office.
What happened next was that Atobe was dazed for a long time until Karaji found him, and then he came to his senses.
"Uesugi Yuu, you bastard..." Atobe said in embarrassment.
He finally understood that Shang Shanyou had diverted his attention with what he said before. Even if you entered the national level before me, it’s not a reason for us not to compete.
"asshole!"
…
Until now, Atobe has basically confirmed that Uesugi Yuu is really not interested in this.
However, this feeling of being unwanted and given up on by others makes Tezuka feel even worse.
This is also the reason why he made another appointment with Shanyou for a fight later.
Although what you said makes sense, let’s still have a match first.
Uesugi Yuu naturally did not refuse anymore, just like Ochi Gekko to him in the past.
