Chapter 258
At eight o'clock, the Yulong Banner Conference was officially held.
And like all conferences, the opening ceremony is still the first.
However, unlike the opening ceremonies of those serious international competitions, the opening ceremony of the Jade Dragon Banner Conference is much simpler. Basically, all schools need to send someone with a watch and a flag to enter the arena——
Otherwise, there will be too many people, and the venue will not fit.
Then the representative of the organizer came forward to speak, and the opening ceremony was basically over, and entered the stage of drawing lots.
This part is even simpler. Representatives of each school—generally the head and deputy head of the Kendo Department or strong players will come out to represent the team to draw lots, and then divide the competition area and opponents on the spot.
For example, Toyosaki High School, where Qin Heqing is located, was drawn to Division D to fight against Oishi City High School from Ishikawa County.
There are two seeded teams in this district, namely the qualifying team from the Tokyo metropolitan area-Tokyo Metropolitan Tachibana Higher Comprehensive High School, and Osaka Prefecture Feiying Private High School.
Both teams didn't have to participate in the first round of elimination, and went straight to the second round, which made Qin Heqing very envious.
——It would be great if they at Toyosaki High School could also enjoy this kind of treatment.
It's a pity that they were neither the champion and runner-up team in last year's National Players Rights Conference, nor the regional champion team pre-selected in this year's county conference. Similarly, compete with dozens of teams in the same group area for the right to appear, and compete with the qualifying teams from the other nine regions for the final championship qualification.
The pressure can be described as a mountain.
Fortunately, he doesn't need to undertake this kind of thing, so as long as he does his own job well - as the general of the team competition, it will be fine!
Others, free Kiryu Ao to worry about.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention the rules of the team competition. Just like the name of the conference, Yulongqi, it adopts a deathmatch system similar to KOF fighting games-as long as there is one more person who can get out, it is not considered a loss!
Even if the front vanguard, sub-forward, backbone, and quasi-general have all lost to their opponents at this time, as long as the final general can beat five, then the victory will still belong to the last surviving side.
It can be said that it is a test of the background and comprehensive strength of the members of the school's kendo department.
Therefore, it is basically useless to arrange troops, and there is no need to burn the cells anymore, just do it and be done.
...
In this way, after about forty minutes, the lottery group for the school part ended, and it was the turn of the men's individual group lottery...
But this time it took a long time - more than 3,000 people, just writing their names on the match list one by one is not a small project. So it wasn't until after nine o'clock, or almost half o'clock, that the whole lottery part was all over.
Then the meeting was officially held, and the players in front of the queue entered the designated venue according to the guidance of the staff, and fought against their opponents according to the requirements and competition rules.
This speed is much faster, and a match can be ended in an average of three minutes.
In addition to this, there are still multiple venues at the same time——
Although the venue is not that kind of exaggerated venue, it is also the kind that can allow three groups of table tennis players to fight at the same time, so after being divided, six groups of players can fight together at the same time!
This greatly enhances the progress of the game.
So it didn't take long for members of Toyosaki High School to enter the schedule.
It's just a pity that the opponent is a strong man, so within three minutes, that member quit the battle with regret on his face, and returned to the team with a depressed expression.
"You've done a good job."
"Don't be discouraged, it's just your bad luck this time."
"Why……"
The team members stretched out their hands and patted the man's back and shoulders, comforting him in an immature way.
"Thank you, I'm fine." The man also responded with a forced smile.
...
Then began the lunch break, the team members gathered together in twos and threes, discussing where to go to solve the stomach problem.
After all, the gym is not a school, and there is no convenience store for them to buy food.
Fortunately, there are no shortage of supermarkets and small restaurants around.
"Don't look for it, come with me." Qin Heqing found Tongsheng Cang who was hesitating and invited him.
Of course, it also included the two girls from the Kendo Club who were staying with her at this time.
As for the others...they don't have anything to do today and tomorrow, so what happened to them naturally!
It is estimated that it will be less than ninety o'clock in the evening, so I may not be able to see other people.
It can be seen from this that the two girls who stayed at the venue either had true love for kendo, or had a particularly good relationship with Kiryu Cang, and couldn't bear her to stay here by herself, so they stayed with her on purpose.
"You? Where's Kato?" Kiryu Cang glanced at him in surprise, and asked strangely after finding that there were few people around.
"Xiaohui was worried that there would be no space in the fast-food restaurants around at noon, so she went to the promising store to help occupy space before the lunch break started. Hey, this is a text message she just sent, telling me to hurry over." Qin Heqing Showing off the information on the phone, he showed off.
"I didn't expect you to be quite thoughtful." Kiryu Cang nodded, and said with some surprise.
"I didn't think so far. Hui thought of it all. I just enjoy the convenience." Qin Heqing said with a smile, his face full of complacency.
"Student Kato... It's a good deal for you." Kiryu Cang sighed. A look of pity (liao) made Qin Heqing feel very upset, "What do you mean?!"
"It's not interesting." Kiryu Cang said calmly.
Then, under such arguing, Qin Heqing took Kiryu Cang and the three to the fast food restaurant selected by Kato Megumi according to the map instructions, and met Kato Megumi who had already occupied the next seat for six people.
"Heqing, here!" Kato Megumi stood up and greeted.
"Let's go there." Qin Heqing said with a smile.
Then Qin Heqing and others walked to the dining table and sat down beside and opposite Kato Megumi respectively.
"waiter!"
"What do you guys want to eat?" The waitress in waiter uniform came over holding the menu.
"Give me one of this package A, and add another drink."
"I want set B with drinks."
"Me too."
"Set A and drinks."
"B"
"Hurry up."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Then the waiter backed away and went to the back kitchen to pass the dishes to them.
"Thanks to you, Kato, otherwise I would only eat bread and drink." At the same time, following Kiryu Cang, I remembered that the short-haired girl named Jun Nojima looked at the fast-food restaurant that was almost full at this time, and felt a little lucky. Said.
"Yeah, I'm really saved." Another girl named Sanchi Yuiko echoed.
"It's nothing, I happen to have nothing to do anyway..." Kato Megumi shook his head slightly and said modestly.
"By the way, who is your opponent this afternoon?" Beside the three girls, Tongsheng Cang chatted with Qin Heqing about the competition.
Thanks to "No. 11 Sniper" and "Lolita is Cute in Tiger" for their respective rewards of 100 points.
