Changes in Personnel (I)

A few days after the National Tournament ended, after a short night's rest, all the universities and colleges resumed their training programs.

"Let's decide on the next minister and deputy minister list like this. Kaitou's calm and composed personality can set a good example for others."

As for Momoshiro, as the Vice President, he can serve as an inspiration to the members.

"That must be Tezuka's idea too, Coach Ryuzaki."

"That's right, he told me all this before he left, but he left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to discuss it with you in detail."

Inside the Seigaku Tennis Club Coach's office, Oishi and Kane stood in front of Coach Ryuzaki's desk.

The two held information about Kaitou and Momoshiro in their hands, with the words "Captain" and "Vice President" prominently displayed.

"Although it may be inappropriate for me to say this, isn't Horio more suitable as a leader?"

They are able to identify each team member's strengths and weaknesses and provide the most appropriate advice.

Moreover, he can even tailor training plans to individual circumstances. With his own formidable abilities, isn't he even more suited to be the Captain?

As an intelligence expert, Gan habitually considers many aspects.

Although it can be said that he trained Kaitou himself, objectively speaking, Horio is more in line with the image of a leader in his mind.

"But, Agan, he's only a first-year student Horio. Even if a new student comes and he gets promoted to second year, he still has third-year students above him..."

"Oishi, you're wrong to think that way. Seigaku now is not the Seigaku of the past. Anyone with the ability can become any kind of person."

But, in your hearts, is Horio only at the level of the Seigaku Captain?

Although it's not good to say this to Kaitou and Momoshiro, with Horio's talent and strength, he is an eagle that can soar in a wider sky.

He won't stay in a small place like Seigaku forever, just like Echizen and Tezuka. The world needs him.

Oishi clearly had his own considerations regarding Miki's questions, but Coach Ryuzaki dismissed his concerns that Horio might not be able to win over the crowd.

After hearing Coach Ryuzaki's explanation, Kan and Oishi finally understood.

"That's right, Horio is not like us. He already possesses terrifying strength in his first year of middle school, and he will definitely shock the world in the future."

"So that's why you excluded Horio..."

Looking at the two students in front of him, Coach Ryuzaki didn't say anything more.

"This is the latest information sheet for everyone in the club. From now on, we will begin training for some promising and talented reserve members."

"No problem, but regular club training is still essential, especially for first-year students."

Inside the Hyotei tennis club, there is an office specifically set up to improve the skills of the club members.

At this moment, in the office, Hiyoshi Wakashi and Oshitari Chotaro were holding a pile of documents.

At the other table, Kabaji was typing on the computer with a blank expression.

Hiyoshi and Ootori, both second-year students, are also busy with the club's nomination of new members, especially Hiyoshi, who has been chosen by Atobe as the next club president, seems particularly dedicated to it.

As for the Vice President, according to Hyotei's tradition, there is no such position.

"Oh, right, there's one more important thing: while the third-year Senpai are still at school, we need to make sure the second-year and first-year students have the chance to learn from them."

Otherwise, once they graduate, they won't be able to find opponents with such rich competitive experience.

Hiyoshi and Feng were having a lively discussion when Kabaji, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and spoke.

The two were stunned and couldn't react for a long time when they heard Kabaji was usually almost silent, suddenly say so much.

"Kabaji is right. While Atobe and the Captain Atobe still in school, we must maximize their potential. Only when everyone understands the principle of defying superiors will we become stronger."

Hiyoshi shook his head and immediately agreed to Kabaji's suggestion.

Kabaji, meanwhile, turned his attention back to the computer and added this item to the tennis club's daily training plan.

"What are you doing, Akaya! You're being too lax!"

At Rikkai Dai's tennis club, all the other members were practicing diligently, but the sounds of their practice couldn't drown out Sanada's stern words.

On a certain basketball court, Sanada was practicing with Kirihara.

But it was less of a sparring match and more of a one-sided beating of Kirihara by Sanada.

"How can you lead Rikkai Dai to the top with a skill level like yours! You must have been too lax in your training!"

Sanada's words and the tennis balls he hit kept attacking Kirihara, who dared not Kirihara a word of anger.

"Genichiro really put in a lot of effort; Akaya's rapid improvement in strength is largely thanks to him."

"Yes, Sanada has liked Akaya ever since Akaya joined the club, so he has high hopes for him."

In the very center of the tennis court stood Yukimura, wearing a jacket, and Yanagi, also wearing a jacket.

The two acted like supervisors, keeping a close eye on everyone's practice progress.

"Yukimura, do you have someone in mind regarding the next minister?"

"I knew you'd ask me this sooner or later. I'm not sure yet, but I already have someone in mind."

With her eyes constantly scanning various parts of the court, Liu asked the question that had been bothering her.

Yukimura wasn't surprised at all by Yanagi's question.

He already had a rough plan in mind regarding Rikkai Dai's recommendation of new talents.

"You don't want Akaya to be the next department head, do you? Although he's capable enough, he's not mature enough..."

"I know what you're worried about. As a team leader, you have to be calm and composed. Akaya has been rebellious ever since he joined the club."

While there's nothing inherently wrong with it, it's a fatal flaw for a leader.

So it's good that Akaya can take over Sanada's position. As for the Captain, I want to choose someone who can stabilize the team more.

Yanagi's concerns were also Yukimura's concerns, which is why Kirihara as the Vice President early on.

When the topic of the Captain came up, his gaze drifted to a corner of the court where someone was practicing with the Wolf.

"Is this the one you're talking about? I think his name is... Tamagawa Yoshio. He doesn't seem to stand out much in the member profiles."

"But the Wolf thinks very highly of him, so he values him a lot."

"And I've observed him for a while now; he is indeed the kind of person who remains calm and composed under pressure."

Looking at the figure of the man who calmly returned the ball, his skin color was completely different from the Wolf's, except for his white hair, and Liu's name came to mind.

However, Yanagi didn't have a deep impression of Tamagawa because he wasn't as outstanding as Kirihara, but Yukimura seemed to admire him.
