Chapter 396 Heading to Melbourne, Beach Tennis Again
The next day.
7am.
Everyone gathered in the parking lot of the U17 training base.
Mifune, who suffered from rosacea, uncharacteristically had his face repaired. He lost his beard and even had his hair specially cut.
at this time.
Mifune, who was wearing a black suit, said seriously: "There are one group for high school students and one group for junior high school students. Kurobe and I are in charge of the high school students, and Saito and Takuhi are in charge of the junior high students."
Having said this, he observed everyone's expressions, nodded and said: "If there is no problem, just get in the car."
immediately.
The selected team members of junior high school students and high school students entered their respective buses. After a while, the car started and headed to Tokyo's Narita Airport.
after.
The plane took off and began a ten-hour flight towards the southern hemisphere.
Almost at the same time.
U17 teams from all over the world are also heading towards Melbourne.
Melbourne.
3pm Canberra time.
A building near the sea in the suburbs.
In the yard at the entrance, a handsome young man with pink-blue hair sat alone next to the chessboard. He and I were playing chess with great interest.
"I'm back."
At this time, a tall white young man with hair trimmed to look like the Australian flag walked into the yard.
"Noah."
Seeing the young man's high spirits, the young man smiled and said hello.
"elder brother."
The young boy Xun Sheng looked over, nodded in the direction of the white youth and said, "Is everything going well with the team?"
"certainly."
The white young man smiled and said: "With my strength, if that guy Fitzgerald chooses me, it will be because there is something wrong with his eyes."
It turns out that he is the official representative selected by Australia U17 this year, named J.J. Gorgias.
The boy is Gorgias' younger brother, Noah Gorgias.
"That's good."
Noah nodded when he heard this: "Brother, don't think too much. As the captain, senior John needs to maintain the unity of the team. The war is coming, and you need to help each other."
"I don't care."
Gorgias shook his head and said: "Winning or losing this kind of team has nothing to do with me. After all, if it weren't for those guys, your eyes would be wrong!"
At the end of the sentence, Gorgias stopped abruptly.
"it does not matter."
Noah shook his head and smiled: "The past is in the past. Since it can't be made up for, it's better to relax and look forward. Although I can't play ball anymore, brother, you are still the representative of the Australian team. So, please take me with you." That dream, go and win!”
"Noah. Uh-huh."
Looking at his serious-looking brother, Gorgias nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"
This moment.
He had already sworn in his heart that he would replace the other party and defeat those powerful enemies. He even led the Australian team to win the World Cup!
"correct."
At this time, Noah seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Brother, do you know that there is a player named Ishikawa Shin?"
"Ishikawa Shen?"
Gorgias frowned: "With this kind of name, is it Japanese?"
"That's right."
Noah nodded and said: "This man is the current leader of the Japanese team. I heard on the radio not long ago that he led the Japanese team to defeat South Korea and India in succession."
"Teams like South Korea and India shouldn't be anything, right?"
Gorgias still didn't understand.
He didn't know what his talented younger brother was doing when he suddenly mentioned a team of this level.
but.
Then he thought that the opponent was now blind, and even if he still had the talent, he could not compete with the top geniuses in Europe and the United States, and Gorgias felt a pain in his heart.
"Do not worry."
Thinking of this, he nodded to the other party: "I will pay attention to this information for you."
"Thank you, brother."
Noah nodded with a smile, and then turned his head to the chessboard in front of him: "I haven't finished playing the chess game yet. Brother, please take the koala for a walk outside."
"OK."
After saying this, Gorgias went into the house, and then a Dalmatian dog left the former.
"under 17 world"
After the man and the dog left, Noah had a sad look on his face. He looked at the sky, trying hard to see the blue color clearly, but it was always pitch black in front of him.
finally.
The young man sighed and leaned on the lounge chair.
In a blink of an eye.
It's evening.
The Japanese team members who took off from Tokyo landed at Melbourne International Airport.
after.
Mifune, Kurobe and others, along with a group of representatives, went to the hotel they had booked earlier and arranged rooms for everyone.
at this time.
In the giant living room outside the corridor on the 6th floor of the hotel, Mifune changed into casual clothes and glanced at Kurobe next to him: "It's still early. Before dinner, let them go out for a walk and get familiar with the customs of the main body. It’s a favor.”
"OK."
Kurobe nodded.
Then, together with Saito, he called out all 28 representatives.
"Great, we can go out and play!"
The distant mountains are the most exciting. Thinking back then, he could run all the way from Shizuoka to Tokyo, not to mention his vitality.
And now.
It was his first time to go abroad, so it was naturally impossible for him to hold himself in his room.
Others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Like Shiraishi, Tachibana and others, the rules of U17 are actually very strict. They thought that when they came out for the first time, their movements would be greatly restricted.
Mifune said: "You go to the beach first and have a group dinner together in the evening. Don't wander around. If you are discovered, I will not forgive that kind of guy!"
"Know."
Everyone nodded in unison.
Afterwards, they walked out of the hotel collectively and headed towards the beach.
"Shiraishi-senpai, Chitose-senpai."
Before leaving, Ishikawa said specifically: "I would also like to ask you to pay more attention to the situation of Toyama-san."
"OK."
Shiraishi and Chitose nodded, the former smiled and said: "Thank you, team leader, for the reminder."
In fact, Ishikawa almost forgot about it. Among the selected junior high school students, apart from Ishikawa, only Toyama was left as a first-year student.
This is Melbourne again. With the language barrier, it would be very troublesome if we got lost in the distant mountains.
The journey was uneventful.
Everyone soon arrived at the beach.
Some people with simple personalities were made red-faced by the sight of bikinis everywhere on the beach.
immediately.
Someone suggested a beach pick-up contest. Let everyone use their own charm to strike up conversations with the opposite sex. There will be no impact if they succeed, but if they fail, they will have to eat Mitsuya's special rice balls.
It is worth mentioning that Kazuki Mitsuya, who was not selected, received a special staff status and was able to participate in this competition together.
soon.
The pick-up contest begins.
Everyone showed their special abilities and tried their best to chat up the beauties everywhere. Ishikawa, who had no interest in this, left the beach and wandered around.
Compared to this meaningless competition, he paid more attention to the representatives from all over the world.
Especially big4.
None of these four teams has a simple role. Especially Germany, which is powerful, and Spain, whose strength is a mystery.
The former is the winner of nine consecutive World Cup titles and is now on his way to ten consecutive titles.
The latter is the mysterious team that defeated the American team in the original book and became the Japanese team's biggest opponent.
The key is.
The coach of the Spanish team is none other than the legendary tennis warrior. Coupled with the disappearance of the Echizen brothers, Akutsu and Kite, it is difficult for Ishikawa not to connect them.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
After walking a few hundred meters.
In Ishikawa's ears, the sound of hitting the ball was faintly heard. Curious, he walked over.
Not surprisingly.
He saw cans arranged neatly on a beach tennis court. At this time, someone outside the venue shouted propaganda in broken English.
"Come and see. Come and see."
“Melbourne Beach’s unique can-breaking challenge.”
"1 yuan per time, you can get 10 yuan reward for knocking down 3 jars in a row, 20 yuan for knocking down 5 jars in a row, and 100 yuan for knocking down 10 jars in a row."
On the beach.
A blond boy wearing a white vest was shouting with a loudspeaker. Next to him stood a fat man, a thin man, and a young man wearing a striped baseball cap.
Not someone else.
It is the Higa player who disappeared from U17.
"If they are here, it means that Mute and the others have arrived too!"
Ishikawa thought secretly.
but.
He also admired the business acumen of these people. Even if it's not on your own territory, you can actually start a stall business project.
and.
Because there are many tourists coming to the U17 competition, most of them are not very good at it, but they are very curious about tennis. 1 yuan per trip is not expensive.
For a time, there were quite a lot of people signing up to participate.
but.
Among these people, there are very few who can really play tennis and touch the jar.
Even if someone encounters it, at most it will only hit one of them by chance. In addition, Ping Guba's rules are based on numbers starting from small to large.
therefore.
Basically no one can make money.
Of course, the cost is not high, only less than 7 cents for 1 Australian dollar, and no one who comes here is short of money, they all regard it as entertainment.
In just 10 minutes, several people in Higa made no less than 200 yuan.
"It's interesting, let's have some fun too."
However, such behavior soon attracted the attention of others. Then I saw two teenagers walking out of the crowd, wearing blue and white short-sleeved shirts with Taigeuk flag patterns printed on their chests.
"These two people are"
Seeing the person coming, Jia Fei's face changed slightly.
He knew that a master was coming. However, since they are open for business, they cannot refuse others' challenges just because of the visitor's identity.
"Xiu He, I'll go first."
One of the black-haired teenagers walked over confidently, picked up the racket handed over by Kai, and walked to the bottom line on one side of the court.
Suddenly.
The eyes of the surrounding audience turned to him one after another.
They also noticed the clothes of the two men and were quite curious about how many they could hit.
"Ah."
Feeling the gazes from around him, the black-haired boy puffed up his chest unconsciously, with a confident smile on his face.
“It’s just this level of hitting.”
He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "For me, it's as simple as eating and drinking."
call!
Thoughts turned.
He tossed the tennis ball up.
Then, he made as cool a hitting motion as possible and hit the tennis ball with a bang.
Snapped!
However.
What was shocking was that the boy, the representative of South Korea's U17 team, plunged his serve into the sand next to him.
"this"
The passers-by around were stunned.
The black-haired boy himself was dumbfounded.
"I have obviously calculated the trajectory of the ball, how could it be possible... Could it be..."
Uh-huh!
As if he thought of something, he suddenly looked at the racket in his hand, and his expression suddenly changed.
"really."
Ishikawa outside the court shook his head secretly when he saw this.
Kai, Ping Guba and others started playing the old tricks again. A racket for passers-by is completely different from a racket for professional players.
"Hey, you guys."
At this time, the black-haired boy turned his head with a frown and looked at the people in Pinggu Chang: "Is there something wrong with this racket?"
"Excuse me, guest."
Kai, who had long expected this situation, adjusted the brim of his hat and said with a smile: "There are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. Who knows, is there something wrong with the racket, or is there something wrong with you?"
"you"
The black-haired boy's face darkened.
only.
He was about to speak, but Hing Furuba quickly took the racket from his hand. And skillfully, he hit the tennis ball out.
Bang!
There was a crisp sound.
The jar numbered ① flew out instantly.
Bang bang bang! ! !
Suddenly.
There was warm applause from the audience.
"Nice skills!"
"The boss's skills are really amazing!"
Visitors spoke from the bottom of their hearts. Compared with this Korean team boy, Ping Gujang's skills are undoubtedly more advanced.
"How about it."
Kai turned his head and said with a smile: "Or are you, the representative of the Korean team, not as good as a small character like us who are not qualified to participate?"
"you."
The junior high school student from the Korean team suddenly turned red.
"Okay, Yongjun!"
At this time, the young man named Xiu He stepped forward, patted his companion on the shoulder, shook his head and said: "The other person is not an ordinary person, let me do it instead."
Finished.
I saw him looking at Ping Furuba provocatively and taking the racket from the opponent's hand. After a brief feeling, he hit a ball.
Snapped!
but.
The ball did not hit the jar.
"ah?"
The audience, who were looking forward to it, were suddenly stunned.
but.
The expressions on the faces of Kai and Ping Guba became solemn. Because they know that the guy who plays this time is indeed not a simple character.
Bang!
really.
In just the second ball, the opponent hit the can.
Bang!
Subsequently.
Another can was knocked out.
"This guy has some skills!"
Kai and Ping Guba looked at each other, and they all saw the fear in each other's eyes. In comparison, this person's strength is obviously much stronger.
Snapped.
But that's it.
Although the young man named Xiuhe's serve hit the jar numbered ③, the jar did not fall.
"Mistake!"
Kai's voice sounded at the right time.
"How can it be considered a mistake?"
Cui Yongjun said with an angry face: "Soo Hyuk has obviously been hit."
Kai smiled and said: "I'm sorry, this guest. Our rule is that the jar must be knocked over before it counts."
"Or"
Speaking of this, he said meaningfully: "You want our people to demonstrate to the two guests again?"
"No."
Li Xiuhe waved his hand, and then hit another ball.
Snapped.
result.
The tennis ball he hit on it was bounced out, and the jar stayed on the ground, motionless.
"how come."
Cui Yongjun's eyes widened.
Li Xiuhe also felt a little incredible.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Subsequently.
He hit 3 balls in a row, but still failed. The tennis balls were bounced away one by one.
"wrong!"
At this time, Cui Yongjun suddenly said: "You must be the one responsible, otherwise this would not be possible."
Li Xiuhe also narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Fei and Heping Ancient Fields carefully.
"Two losers."
Sudden.
At this time, a contemptuous sneer sounded outside the stadium.
tread.
Immediately.
Then he saw a brown-haired boy with his long hair tied up, walking in confidently.
"This person is"
Li Xiuhe, Cui Yongjun, including Jia Fei and Ping Guchang, all subconsciously turned their heads to look.
When they saw it was a white boy, the expressions of the first two people changed and they did not dare to speak back. Although Kai and others were quite surprised in their hearts, they remained calm on their faces.
Because they know that even if a powerful guy comes, they will have a wooden hand to back them up.
"Introduce yourself."
The young man with some freckles on his face said coldly: "My name is Elmer Seyfried!"
Elmer?
Seyfried?
Who is this person? !
Jia Fei and Ping Gu Chang looked at each other.
"etc!!"
At this time, someone in the peripheral audience seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise: "Is he the super genius of the German team, A. Seyfried?!"
What?
German team?
Instantly, the expressions on Kai and the others' faces became extremely interesting!
