Chapter 22: The training camp is over and the promise is coming!
Uesugi Yu finished introducing Rikkai University and didn't say anything else. This content was enough for Atobe and Coach Sakaki to digest for a while.
"That means we will be competing against these strong teams next, right?"
The silence was broken by Atobe, who was not shaken by Uesugi Yuu's previous words, and once again regained his original appearance of dominating Hyotei, with confidence and assertiveness showing between his brows.
"Shangshan, your words make me even more excited!" Atobe said excitedly.
Facing opponents of the same level, no one would want to fight against them, not to mention that most of the people mentioned by Uesugi Yu are of the same age as the same class.
"Shangshan, what about those two people who are about the same strength as you that you told me about before, are they in Rikkai University?"
After being excited for a moment, Atobe calmed down and asked Uesugi Yuu.
He suddenly thought that he was also the tennis director. If there were two people like Uesugi Yuu who joined Rikkai University, then Rikkai University would definitely be Hyotei's biggest enemy in the future.
Seeing Atobe's sudden change of heart, Uesugi Yuu sighed in his heart. Unknowingly, the Hyotei Tennis Club had left a mark on Atobe's heart. This sense of responsibility and identity...
"No, there is only one of them I mentioned. However, the potential of the other one in Rikkai University is equally terrifying. He is not much worse than you, Atobe."
Uesugi Yuu said with a mysterious smile. In the original novel, Sanada was always superior to Atobe in middle school.
"As for the other person you mentioned..."
Thinking of Tezuka, Uesugi suddenly felt a little sorry. He was originally the strongest first-year student, but ended up being restrained by Seigaku.
Even if he finally let go of everything and recovered completely, Tezuka still represented the German team in the end.
"I hope my stimulation can have some effect." Uesugi Yuu thought helplessly. He had thought about directly interfering with Tezuka's choice, but what kind of approach would this take for the will of such a person?
insult?
Sometimes just is enough!
After being distracted for a while, seeing that Atobe was still waiting for his answer, he smiled and said, "The other one has no impact. He went to a school that was once great."
"Was it once so great? Uh... you started it again." Atobe rubbed his eyebrows and said helplessly.
After the two of them became familiar with each other, he finally understood that Shangshan You would sometimes have some evil intentions, as if he liked to tease him.
"But since you're someone I recognize, I won't bother with you." An emotion flashed through Atobe's mind, and he smiled at Uesugi Yuu's asking-for-a-beating look.
"Shangshan, if your information is accurate, then we have indeed underestimated other schools."
The calm words came after the two finished talking. Sakaki Taro was as calm as usual. The previous words from Uesugi Yuu did not change him at all.
"Keep working hard, your future is not limited to this." Taro Sakaki encouraged suddenly.
If what Shangshan You said is true, then the value contained in it is far more than just this.
"The Japanese tennis world may usher in another round of changes!" Taro Sakaki's thoughts flowed, and he soon thought of the U17 and even the situation of the Japanese Tennis Association.
As someone who has a more precise understanding of the entire upper structure, he has discovered that there are great opportunities contained therein.
"Yeah!"*2
………
evening.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Finally, everyone finished their training and returned to the villa.
Everyone looked tired, but no one complained.
After a week of training, they have felt their transformation from the inside out, which is something that they had never experienced in campus training.
Although this transformation is not yet complete, the seeds have been planted for them. As for how far they can go in the future, it all depends on their efforts.
Uesugi Yuu walked in front of everyone and said, "I'm sure everyone can feel what they have gained this week, so I won't say any more."
"I just want to tell you, please remember your eyes now. No matter what difficulties Bingdi encounters in the future, we must believe in ourselves and believe that Bingdi will win!"
"Hyoei will win!"
"Hyoei will win!"
…
Uesugi Yu raised his right hand high and spoke powerful words that made everyone excited.
Yes, aren't they training so hard just to achieve victory at the last moment? !
…
after.
After finishing the training, everyone was not in a hurry to go back.
After working so hard for so long, everyone naturally had to have a good time in Mr. Atobe's villa at night.
To this.
Tsuchiya did not disappoint everyone's expectations. With a wave of his hand, the servants brought out the ingredients that had been prepared earlier.
Outdoor BBQ party begins!
"Wow, long live the minister!"*7
Looking at the endless stream of delicious food, everyone cheered.
This was the first time they had been able to fully relax and play after being here for so long.
…
"What's wrong? Don't you want to come down and play with us?" Uesugi Yu walked over to Atobe and handed him a drink.
"I just can't..." Atobe took the drink and shook his head, but his eyes were still on the people playing games by the fireplace.
"Tsk tsk...it seems our Master Atobe is still too reserved..."
Uesugi Yu took a sip of his drink, glanced at Atobe and said strangely.
"Come on, they want you to join them, too."
Without waiting for Atobe to answer, Uesugi Yu patted him on the back, causing him to stagger.
"You bastard..." Atobe turned around and glared at him.
Uesugi Yu laughed and didn't take it seriously. He raised his hands and put them around his neck, and walked over with him at Atobe's "reluctant" pace.
"By the way, Huadi, come too!" Shangshanyou suddenly turned around and said to Huadi who was standing beside him.
Speaking of which, I always unconsciously ignored the existence of Huadi, Shangshanyou scratched his head.
Facing Uesugami Yu's invitation, the innocent Kabaji was stunned, he didn't know how to respond. His pure eyes looked at Atobe who was being dragged by Uesugami Yu.
"Kawachi, come here too!" Atobe's helpless voice came from afar.
"yes!"
Birchland follows naturally.
………
The party was a success, especially after Uesugi Yu pulled Atobe over, everyone cheered.
Originally, everyone felt a little distant from Atobe's identity, and the only person who was close to Atobe in the tennis club was probably Yuu Kamisama.
But as Totoro came over to play, the slight sense of distance was quickly eliminated. They were all teenagers and it was easy for them to play together.
And everyone also discovered that although Jibu seemed to be good at everything, he was not very good at the small games played at the party.
Twenty minutes later.
Atobe stared at Uesugi Yuu who was smiling beside him with a cold look on his face.
At this time, his face was covered with small notes, making him the "King of Failure" tonight.
This result naturally made Mr. Atobe, who always pursued victory, very angry.
"It's all because of that bastard Uesugi Yuu. He forced me to play this kind of game for young people." Atobe found that Uesugi Yuu's handsome face really deserved a beating. How could he agree with such a guy!
However, Uesugi Yuu saw a smile on Atobe's mouth that he himself might not have noticed.
The training party came to an end amidst laughter and joy. Everyone who was tired of playing went to wash up and rest.
In the end, only Uesugi Yuu and Atobe remained.
Atobe tore off the paper on his face, revealing his handsome face again.
After they left the room, they both looked at each other seriously. A breeze blew by, and the unburned fire danced in their eyes.
At this moment, both of them understood what the other meant, and they had not forgotten the game tomorrow morning.
————
The competition after training camp.
This was an agreement that Atobe and Uesugi Yuu had made long ago.
