Chapter 406 Finals Appointment with the Achiga Girls

After the third round of the national competition, there will be one day of rest. After this round, the top twelve in the country will be determined.

"Is it a elimination system for the last place?"

"Yes, this year's third round is special. Sixteen teams will determine the top twelve, and only the last one in each group will be eliminated. But don't think that you should take it lightly just because you eliminate the last one. You can go as far as There will no longer be any weak teams among the top 16 teams in the country, and every team we will encounter next will be a truly strong team.”

"I'm a little curious, how will we decide the eight teams to participate in the semi-finals from the twelve teams?"

"It's still the same as the second round, the point gap with the previous one. The top two in the three groups advance, and the remaining third place will compete with the point difference between the two, and the one with the biggest gap will still be eliminated. The eight teams in the semi-finals were finally determined.”

"That is to say, starting from the third round, four teams will be eliminated in each subsequent round."

"That's okay to understand, so you have to get serious next time."

"Today's third round, Nanyan-senpai, what position do you want to play?"

When Hisashi Takei and Mako Sometani were explaining the rules of the game before the semifinals, Saki couldn't help but ask Minahiko.

Now Kiyosumi can be said to have placed Nanyan's tactical status at a very high level. As long as Nanyan wants to play any position, he can basically play any position.

Not only did Kiyosumi discover the advantages of the substitute rule, but many teams in the national competition also placed their strongest players on the bench.

Of course, Shiratai's strongest player is still the vanguard.

"Me...?"

Nan Yan came back to his senses and thought slightly: "I won't play in the third round. The first two rounds were played too fast, and neither Xiaohe nor Saki played.

It just so happened that I planned to go with Sasano-san to check out the registration status of the World Youth Championship, but I won’t be participating in the third round.

Of course, I will come back at any time if necessary. "

In fact, we originally made an appointment with Sasano to go there yesterday afternoon, but all Lu Laodu staff had to hold a graduation dinner for Sasano Berry, who was already in third grade, yesterday, so it was postponed to today.

"That's fine."

Takeijiu nodded slightly.

Originally, she wanted to let Xiaohe and Saki practice their skills in the first and second rounds, but she did not expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Unexpected opponents appeared in both rounds, resulting in neither of them having a chance to play.

The opponents he will encounter next are not ordinary people. If it is too late, there will be no chance to train troops.

It's also a good thing that Nan Yan doesn't play in this third round.

After all, others still need to experience and feel the atmosphere of this national competition. Otherwise, in the semi-finals and finals, the opponent's intensity will be extraordinary, and there will be no chance to practice and adjust.

Besides, if something really happened, it wouldn't be too late to call Nan Yan back to save the situation.

"Don't worry, just leave the rest to us!"

Yuki said with clenched fists.

She didn't feel like she performed well in the first round. This round she has to show herself hard!

Although it was her first time to come to the national competition, Yuxi felt great, as if she had endless luck all over her body. She just needed a powerful enemy to be her whetstone!

"Well, the vice-general battle is in the afternoon. Can I go and watch it with Senior Nan Yan in the morning?"

Haramura Kazu raised his hand cautiously.

Although he knew there was a game in the afternoon, Nan Yan went with a girl, and she was a very cute girl.

"It's okay, but Xiaohe has to come back as soon as possible at noon."

Takeihisa approved.

Sometani Mako couldn't help but glance at Jiudi and thought to herself, you really dote on them. This is a national competition. Are you making arrangements without any sense of urgency like usual?

Then Jiudi also showed his confident side: "Just go and go. Maybe before Xiaohe comes back, I will have already eliminated my opponent in the backbone battle!"

Hearing Jiutei's words, Sometani Mako couldn't help laughing: "Please, in the third round there is Nagasui woman, one of the four major seeds. I don't have such confidence."

But Someya knew that, Takeijiu said it was easy, but among all the people in Qingcheng, she was the one who was under the greatest pressure.

After all, she was the only third grader among the people present.

She won't get a second chance at a national competition.

If he does not win the championship this year, it may become a permanent regret for Takei Hisashi.

Therefore, they have a reason not to lose!

"Well, I'll come back as soon as possible."

Haramura nodded deeply.

She can still tell which is more important, but there is no competition for her in the morning. She only has one morning to check the registration status of the World Youth Championship, so it won't take too long.

Saki originally wanted to go and see it with senior Nanyan, after all, she didn't have a game in the morning.

But when she thought that she might meet her sister in that venue, the girl recalled her sister's voice and smile when she was a child, as well as every detail of her life with Xiaoyu when she was a child, and her pupils trembled slightly.

She is not ready to recognize her sister yet!

So Saki's lips moved slightly, but in the end she still didn't say that she wanted to register for the World Youth Championship with Nanyan and Xiaohe.

For the past.

She still has a haze.

Xiaohe glanced at Saki, who was somewhat silent. Although Saki rarely mentioned his sister Miyanagi Teru in front of them, he also knew that the relationship between the girl and his sister was somewhat complicated.

So I didn’t invite Saki to go to the venue in the other half of the area.

At the same time, the radio gradually sounded.

"The competition in the eastern half begins now. The first person to enter is Himematsu High School represented by Minami Taisaka. The strong team from Kansai is basically a regular in the semi-finals. They have often appeared in the top eight teams in the past. Two years ago He was still one of the top four seeds in the national competition.

However, due to the strong rise of Yongshui Women in recent years, this team is currently downgraded from the seed team.

But there is no doubt about their overall strength, they are still at the forefront of the country..."

Hearing the sound of the broadcast, Takeijiu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I'll leave it to Yuki next."

After introducing each team, the third round of the Pioneer Battle is about to begin.

"Accept your fate!"

Yuki, a small man, didn't panic at all even on the stage of the national competition.

She even couldn't wait to play against the players in the national competition.

.

After Yuki stepped onto the stage of the competition, Nanyan and Xiaohe also met Sasano Berry at the agreed place.

Seeing the girl with delicate make-up and obviously well-dressed up, Haramura's eyes showed a bit of scrutiny, but luckily he followed her!

"Sorry, I'm a little late." Sasano Berry glanced at the time and saw that he arrived a few minutes later than the agreed time.

This was not because of the delay in putting on makeup, but because she was pestered by a reporter from Mahjong Weekly when she came out of the arena. Sasano Berry had to take some time to complete the interview before hurried over.

But I didn't expect it to be late.

Being late for the first meeting will leave a bad impression.

"We can't do this next time."

Haramura whispered.

But I soon felt that something was wrong with what I said, and there should be no next time!

"I'm sorry." Sasano Berry leaned over.

"Go directly there, Xiaohe has a game in the afternoon."

Nan Yan didn't pay too much attention to it. It didn't mean that he didn't have any sense of time, but he didn't control time too much. Coming in early and coming in late for a few minutes didn't have any impact on him, as long as he didn't deliberately delay it for an hour and a half. .

In his previous life, Nan Yan once made an appointment with a girl. After waiting at the intersection for more than half an hour, he finally said, "My aunt is here."

Later, Nan Yan learned that some people just like to rely on your good impression of them, and then use some unreasonable methods to 'test' you. In short, they do it without any bottom line.

And this kind of girl who likes to do things can usually only be considered above average in appearance.

But if Sasano Berry was only a few minutes late, Nanyan wouldn't care too much.

Then the three of them also arrived at another competition venue not far away.

In the national competition, the competitions in each half-region are played in different venues, and players from different half-regions will basically not meet each other.

According to Sasano Berry, last year's World Youth Championship registration place was also at this venue.

“Unlike the individual competitions in national competitions, the World Youth Championship uses a nomination system. It does not mean that players can participate just by signing up, but requires the nomination of professional players.

There are many active and retired professional players in the commentary room and press room of the national competition. It is not that simple to enter the World Youth Championship. Compared with individual competition, it is the absolute strength that is required to qualify for the World Youth Championship. It is a qualification.

Therefore, the nominated professional players pay more attention to the player's previous competition experience and results, such as the national champion Miya Nagasaki, the second individual player Arakawa Yui, and the Linhai Women's player Nai Minghua. Because they have rich competition experience and had a luxurious performance, so they were directly invited rather than nominated.

The premise must be the results in the national competition. No matter how luxurious your achievements are in the county competition, these professional players will basically not pay much attention to it, so don't expect the professional players to nominate you because of your achievements in the county competition. .

However, I think there should be no problem with Yumeyan Minami’s wonderful performance in the first and second rounds. "

While walking into the venue, Sasano Berry explained.

"Don't the results of the county level competition count?" Haramura Kazu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it doesn't depend on the results of the county competition." Sasano Berry nodded, "After all, there have been many seeded players who have achieved extraordinary results in this competition area, but were swept by others in the national competition. There are too many such people. , in the future, the World Youth Championship will default to county-level results not counting.”

Nan Yan expressed his understanding.

Each competition region has its own shock wave players, experts in civil war and amateurs in external battles.

Therefore, it is an extremely correct decision not to look at the rules of this division's results.

Competitions of a national or even global nature will severely torture each competition region.

"So that's the case, so I probably won't be nominated either."

After learning this information, Haramura Kazu's expression did not change much.

Her current experience in national competitions is the achievement of being the champion of the national competition for junior high school students. Compared with players like Gongyong Teru and others who have been directly invited to the World Youth Championship, this achievement is like the light of a firefly. It is really bleak. .

However, all nomination qualifications for the World Youth Championship should be given after the national competition. After all, strong players will emerge in the national competition and individual competition.

So even if you are not eligible for nomination now, you can still get nominated if you perform well in subsequent individual and team competitions.

As the three of them walked down the stairs, Sasano Berry couldn't help but observe the girl from the corner of her eye.

Although she was a very famous contestant in this national competition like herself, this girl seemed to have more capital to be liked than herself. When she walked down the stairs, the plumpness under the JK school uniform that almost resisted the gravity trembled, with a surging visual effect of bouncing and undulating, which made people unable to move their eyes away.

Even though she was a girl, her eyes were always attracted by the girl, which was purely force majeure.

"By the way, when Haramura walks, can you see your toes?"

Sasano couldn't help asking.

"Huh?"

Haramura and Ruro looked a little innocent, and were a little surprised why the other party asked such a strange question.

However, out of politeness, the girl still looked down at her feet, and then politely replied: "I'm sorry, I can't see it at all."

Sasano Berry lowered her head slightly, and saw a small section of her toes exposed at the edge of her fullness, and she suddenly wanted to cry.

It seems that in terms of her figure, she can't compare with others at all.

Not only that, Haramura Kazu's performance in the competition was much better than hers.

This made Sasano Mei feel a little inferior.

"Actually, I can see that, so there's no need to feel inferior."

Nan Yan raised his hand slightly and said lightly.

You are just asking for trouble by comparing this with Xiao He.

"You are a boy, it's different!"

Sasano Mei said with a little encouragement.

Just like you boys, don't you also care about the length between you?

The girl, who was originally stunned, also realized what the two were discussing at this moment, and her face was immediately stained with a faint blush.

"Senior Nan Yan, classmate Sasano, stop talking!"

Haramura Kazu showed a cute annoyance.

In fact, in the club, Yuki always joked about her development, and created many strange idioms on his own, such as "white breasts with slight flaws" and "a little bit of jade", and every time Xiao He heard it, he couldn't help but say a few words to her.

It's fine if Yuki is a weirdo, but why are seniors Sasano and Minamihiko...

"Actually, I envy you, because it's just right."

Haramura Kazu glanced at Sasano and blushed as he judged.

His size is actually a bit inconvenient, and it's easy to attract those weird looks, but Sasano's shape is more normal.

Besides, Minamihiko also likes girls like Saki and Xiaoyi, so the figure can't highlight his competitiveness.

"No, no, no, I think big is good."

Sasano Mei still insisted on her opinion.

Girls from rural areas have simple aesthetics.

After all, in their hometown, girls with this figure are generally easy to give birth.

Then the two girls had a fierce dispute over their own ideas.

This made Minamihiko, who was caught in the middle, not know what expression to make, because at this time, no matter which side's argument he supported, he would be despised by the other side, so it was better to remain silent.

"Minamihiko?"

Just after the three of them walked down the stairs.

On the other side of the corridor, a group of girls came towards them.

After seeing Haramura Kazu, several girls stopped immediately.

The girl who walked down from above was beautiful and had a fairy-like temperament, which deeply moved the heart of Gao Ya Wenno who was walking in front.

The girl who used to be their childhood sweetheart has now become the goal pursued by all of them in Achiga.

The reason why they reorganized the Achiga Mahjong Club was to meet their childhood friends again on the stage of this national competition!

Hearing someone's soft call, the girl stopped slightly and looked sideways.

Suddenly, everyone on both sides remained silent for a few seconds.

"Wenno, Chong and Xuanjie..."

Haramura Kazu's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes swept through the girls one by one, only to find that they were all his playmates in Achiga when he was a child.

After coming to Nagano, the reason why she became a partner with Yuki was because Yuki's body shape and appearance were very similar to Chong when he was a child.

But now Xiao Chong has become dignified and beautiful, no longer that small person.

And when they saw Nan Mengyan nodding slightly to all of them beside Xiao He, all the members of Achiga didn't know why they felt a fear of retreating.

The invisible sense of oppression made them stop and dare not get closer.

That's right.

Xiao He is now as far away from them as the sky. It is impossible for them to play with Haramura He as they did when they were children.

But if they still want to get close to her, they must defeat the man next to her!

But can they really do it?

You know, none of them have been able to win even one game against the big devil in front of them so far!

As if she had made some kind of determination, Gao Ya Wenno clenched her fists.

"He! We will definitely advance to the finals!

So you and us should also enter the finals. We will meet at the end of the national competition!"

The girl's speech shocked Sasano Mei.

You have to know that this Achiga is a new team like Kiyosumi, and this newly formed team actually said that it would join hands with Kiyosumi to enter the national finals!

Even the four seeded teams did not dare to make such a guarantee.

Although there are many cases of dark horses defeating seeded teams in previous competitions, there are only a few strong teams that can enter the finals.

Even last year's dark horse Longmenbuchi only stopped in the semifinals.

And Haramura Kazu stepped forward and said with a firm look: "Although I can't make this promise with you, I will do my best."

"Then, see you in the finals!"

After making the promise, Gaoya Wenno turned and left.

Just like in the RPG game, the hero has to save the princess he loves from the devil, she also wants to defeat the devil in this national competition!

The other girls also understand Wenno's idea.

Now standing in front of them is the devil named 'Nan Mengyan'.

And they have to face this devil no matter what.

Entering the finals means that the real challenge has officially begun.

Watching the girls from Achiga leave, Sasano Mei finally couldn't help but say, "They want to make it to the finals right after entering the national competition. Aren't the players on this team setting their goals too high?"

Goals that are too high will eventually be shattered by reality.

However, Nan Yan said calmly:

"This team, and our Qingcheng, will enter the finals together.

We will meet in the finals eventually!"
