Clashes and Individual Improvement (Part One)

Soon, after discussions between the two coaches, a new training camp began. ♢💚 Claws 🏆😳

In order to arrange a suitable location, this training camp will not be held on campus.

Especially during last year's training camp, the Loser's Bracket and winner's bracket that Saeki Muneyoshi tried were quite appealing.

After absorbing the training methods from various training camps provided by Saeki Muneyoshi, Watanabe Osamu and Hanamura Aoi innovated and established many targeted training programs.

Such as "chasing and dodging in the forest", "water tennis training", "underwater resistance training", etc.

These all need to be tested through field training.

Therefore, a dedicated venue must be found.

Although not as wealthy as the Atobe family conglomerate, Hanamura Aoi is not poor, and the school also provides strong financial support for the Tennis Club.

There are quite a few suitable training venues around Tokyo, so she decisively booked one.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Fudomine and the Shitenhoji group began their training exercises under the guidance and instruction of the two coaches.

Given the abilities of Muneyoshi, Tachibana Kippei, Keith, Shiraishi, and others, ordinary training wouldn't be of much help to them, so after several days of training...

Their primary training focuses on leg muscle development, while strengthening physical endurance and improving interception ability are key aspects of their overall training.

It's sunset again.

After a day of training, the Loser's Bracket dragged their exhausted bodies back to the club's stadium.

Here, waiting for the Loser's Bracket are the winners, who have eaten and drunk their fill and rested enough. 💛🐙 ♖😺

Watching them chat and laugh as they began the next round of training, the Loser's Bracket' group members were filled with envy, their previously exhausted bodies seemingly brimming with renewed energy.

They struggled to their feet, ready to finish their "specially prepared" dinner before beginning today's challenge.

This motivation—the drive to fight back after failure—was well inherited by Watanabe Osamu and Hanamura Aoi.

Kamio Akira followed behind Ishida Tetsu with a bitter expression.

After being lectured multiple times by two people with similar traits from Shitenhoji, the two of them remained calm; they had experienced this situation countless times before.

However, as their strength increases, the pressure on their rivals, Oshitari Kenya and Ishida Gin Shitenhoji, also continues to grow.

It seems the gap between the two sides has narrowed, and the next opportunity will be their chance to turn the tide.

Because of this, Oshitari Kenya and Ishida Gin went all out in training in the following days, afraid of being overtaken by them.

However, those days are almost over.

Today is also the last day of the training camp.

It was clear that Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu were unable to avenge this attack before the end...

Just as the joint training camp between Fudomine and Shitenhoji was about to end.

Meanwhile, Hyotei Academy, Seigaku, Rikkai Dai, who are conducting three-way training, are also nearing the final moment of their joint training camp.

The lives of Echizen Ryoma, Kirihara Akaya, Hiyoshi Wakashi, Kaidou Kaoru, and others, who lived deep in the mountains, were also quite difficult.

Especially Kirihara Akaya, who had previously provoked Akutsu.

However, Rikkai Dai is in Kanagawa, so Seigaku and the others have never run into each other. But now that they're in a training camp, will Akutsu really treat him well?

Echizen Ryoma, under the training of Echizen Nanjirō, improved his strength and only joined the team in the middle of the training camp.

At this Echizen Ryoma felt like he was back in action.

Knowing that Rikkai Dai's members were very strong, they launched another challenge.

As for the result...

In the end, he ended up like Kirihara Akaya, being targeted by all three sides in turn.

It was precisely because of the time he spent with Kirihara that the two often had arguments, and even during training, they would compete with each other until the other collapsed from exhaustion before they would stop.

Tezuka and Yukimura turned a blind eye to this situation, allowing it to continue as long as it was within their control.

Until the very last day before leaving.

On the sports field at the very back of the Atobe villa area, the three teams assembled.

Ryūzaki Sumire and Sakaki Tarou came out at the same time.

The two coaches, along with Yukimura, were very satisfied with the training results, seeing that the athletes' spirits and energy had improved considerably.

Because the training camp brought about greater competition, many people improved their skills under this passion and drive.

"After today, this training camp will be officially completed."

After exchanging glances with Sakaki Tarou and Yukimura, Ryūzaki Sumire said with a smile, "The reason I've gathered you all here is to allow you to have a free competition before the training camp ends."

"Now, each of you choose your opponent!"

"Good!!"

Ryūzaki Sumire's suggestion to the coaching staff was unanimously welcomed.

Echizen Ryoma and Kirihara Akaya, who were initially somewhat impatient, seemed to come alive upon hearing the news and turned to look at each other.

Aside from receiving the necessary training upon arrival, the rest of the days consisted of nothing but training.

Even when they pick up a racket, they use a heavy and cumbersome shot put racket for swing practice.

Coupled with their competitive spirit during training, they had long wanted to give each other a treat.

With that thought, the two stepped out of the ranks at the same time, looked at each other, and said in unison, "Echizen Ryoma / Kirihara Akaya, let's have a real match!"

The two men simultaneously revealed enigmatic smiles, and anyone with eyes could see how malicious their expressions were.

Since they both agree, the two of them will be the first to decide the winner of the match.

Then, Sanada and Atobe approached Tezuka, and finally, Oshitari Yushi also wanted to join in the fun, but was turned away by Fuji Shusuke.

Yanagi Renji looked at Inui Sadaharu, but did not challenge him to a fight. Instead, he was calculating how to maximize his data advantage.

Each of their doubles pairs has also found their respective opponents.

Because there were too many people challenging Tezuka, the challengers split up their time to challenge each other first, and at this time Akutsu began to challenge Yukimura.

The final lineup for the first round was determined, and everyone dispersed on the field, waiting for the match to begin.

Before the match started, Sanada walked up to Yukimura and asked.

"Yukimura, shouldn't we stop Kirihara and Echizen Ryoma? Kirihara now, I'm afraid..."

Yukimura glanced at Akutsu walking towards him, smiled, shook his head, and looked at Sanada beside him:

"Some things can't be stopped, so it's better to let Kirihara try it himself. Besides, Seigaku hasn't said anything, has they?"

Sanada frowned slightly, glancing up at Tezuka, who was starting to undress and warming up in preparation for the Tezuka.

In his opinion, several of the people who came to the training camp this time, especially the second-year and first-year students, were all unruly kids, with Kirihara Akaya and Echizen Ryoma being the most unruly.

Such stubborn elements should be properly suppressed and educated, rather than being released to fight.

"Sanada, sometimes worrying too much will backfire. You should go and face your Tezuka. Don't lose too badly this time! And my opponent has arrived."

Yukimura said that, Akutsu abandoned Sanada and walked towards Akutsu.

Hearing this, Sanada, who had been somewhat conflicted, sharpened his eyes, pulled down the brim of his hat, and snorted coldly, "This time, I'm sure I can beat Tezuka."

After saying that, Sanada Kirihara and walked straight towards Tezuka. He was the only one who could compete against Tezuka.

At this moment, Atobe of the Hyotei Academy revealed a playful smile, and then walked towards the courts of Rikkai Dai's Yukimura and Akutsu.

It wouldn't be bad to watch this match before he challenges Tezuka.

However, before he could take more than a few steps, he was stopped by Yanagi Renji.

"Hmm~ Yanagi Renji, you think you can challenge me, your master?"

Yanagi Renji, who had been squinting, opened his eyes wide, glanced at the arrogant Atobe, and said calmly, "My data cannot be without personal experience."

"Since that's the case, I'll grant your wish!"

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"
