Inside a luxury car at night.

Hata Souji looked at the neon lights outside the window with a look of despair. Thinking back to that pick-up contest, he felt that from then on, he had a great shadow on the pick-up rice balls. It was the first time in his life that he saw a revolving lantern.

, the moment he felt the entrance of the rice ball, his soul was trembling.

"Snapped!"

"Hey! Boy! Cheer up! There are a lot of reporters here, don't look sick, okay?"

Byodoin Phoenix couldn't stand the sick look of Souji Mata, so he patted Souji Mata on the back gently or not seriously!

"So why do you want to eat that rice ball?"

Hata Souji said angrily, he finally understood a truth, usually the healthier something is, the more unpleasant it may taste!

After making some complaints, Souji Hatada forcibly cheered up. He was wearing a straight suit and looked quite energetic. Then he glanced sideways at Byodoin Phoenix, who was also wearing a suit and leather shoes, and said sincerely: "

Senior, please remember to let me get out of the car first."

Byodoin Phoenix glanced at him lightly.

"reason?"

"Because if you get off the bus first and I get off next, people will think you are my bodyguard."

...

"Then if you get out of the car first, others won't think so?"

"No, people will think you are an incompetent bodyguard."

...

At this moment, Byodoin Phoenix realized the vengeful side of Souji Hatada.

...

The car slowly stopped in front of an imposing and tall building!

Before the official start of the U17 World Series, there will be a warm-up match similar to a player showcase. Each country will be randomly assigned to compete in pairs for three doubles matches. The doubles must be a combination of a junior high school student and a high school student.

It can also be understood as an eye-catching exhibition match!

Of course, even if this is the case, no one wants to encounter a powerful country from the beginning. After all, even if it is an exhibition match, losing will greatly affect the momentum.

Therefore, the drawing of lots has become crucial, and today, Byodoin Phoenix and Souji Hata, as captains of the high school and junior high school student teams respectively, came to participate in the drawing on behalf of everyone.

After getting out of the car, many flashlights suddenly lit up towards the two of them, but these flashlights were very polite and seemed to be just to complete the task.

"Senior, these reporters don't seem very enthusiastic."

Soji Hata said softly.

Byodoin Phoenix was very calm and said to the point: "People's enthusiasm should be reserved for strong teams like Germany, which has won nine consecutive championships."

"Hey! It seems like you, seniors, haven't been able to do that well these past few years!"

"Kid, that's almost enough!"

"All right!"

Souji Hatada barely moved his lips and smiled. He was dressed in a suit as elegant and noble as a wealthy nobleman. The eyes of Byodoin Phoenix next to him had natural domineering and indifference, which matched with his black suit.

His figure is even bigger and stronger, walking next to Soji Hata, he looks more like a bodyguard!

If it were a fashion show, the two of them would probably get a lot of attention, but there was nothing they could do here.

The two walked peacefully into a conference venue!

When he walked into the conference venue and saw that almost all the contestants from various countries had arrived, Souji Hatada finally understood why the reporter outside the door just now looked uninterested. He might have delayed his get off work.

"Stop looking around, hurry up and find our seats and sit down!"

Listening to Byodoin Phoenix's impatient urging, Souji Mata replied calmly.

"How can I find a place if I don't look around!"

Byodoin Phoenix’s eyes twitched!

This brat!

...

Just when the two found their seats and were about to sit down, a familiar voice sounded.

"Banta?"

Um?

Soji Hata turned around and saw Tezuka Kunimitsu, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu, Soji Hata's eyes showed surprise.

"Tezuka-senpai, it's been such a long time."

As he spoke, his eyes moved down and landed on Tezuka Kunimitsu's chest, the symbol that symbolized German identity.

The tone paused.

"Tezuka-senpai participated in the competition on behalf of the German team?"

"Well, that's right, I am now a member of the U17 German team."

Tezuka Kunimitsu admitted frankly.

This time U17 is not very strict with players’ nationality cards. As long as they live in which country, they are eligible to represent that country. In principle, as long as the country of the representative team agrees, any player can represent any country.

Go to war.

However, it is Germany that is the king.

Soji Hata smiled faintly, his tone incomprehensible.

"Then, I hope to have the opportunity to play against the German team!"

"I hope so too."

As soon as Tezuka Kunimitsu finished speaking, a steady voice interrupted the conversation of several people.

"Tezuka, stop chatting, the opening ceremony is about to begin."

The person who came was a bald man, slightly stronger than Byodoin Phoenix. He glanced at Souji Hata and Byodoin Phoenix lightly, and said to Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"gone!"

"yes!"

Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded, and then said to Soji Hata: "Then we'll see you in the game!"

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Hata Souji was more interested in the bald head, and said in a slightly excited tone: "Hey! Senior Byodoin, that one just now should be a professional player, Borg."

Byodoin Phoenix's eyes darkened slightly.

"Nodded, um, yes, it's that guy!"

"Haha, I didn't expect that he, who is already a professional player, would still participate in this U17 competition."

In this competition, even professional players can participate as long as they are under 17 years old. As a supernova who just turned professional this year, Borg has not lost a single game since his debut. It can be said that he has become the undisputed winner of this year's U17 competition.

The strongest.

Just now, Soji Hata felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression from Borg, as unfathomable as an abyss, and as capable of crushing everything as a storm.

"I really hope I can have a chance to fight that guy once!"

Byodoin Phoenix looked at Soji Hata's excited eyes and said calmly: "This year's Germany will not only have Borg as a professional player, but there will also be two others, but they will not show up until the official competition starts."

"There are actually three professional players. It should be said that Germany is the king."

Soji Hata's tone became more and more excited.

"In this case, defeating them will become more valuable!"

"Okay! Don't think so much, just wait and draw lots later!"

After the two people found their seats and sat down, they quietly waited for the press conference to begin.

Soon, an uncle who emphasized a slightly funny humor came on stage and spoke for a while, and then the lottery process began.

As the names of each country were called, each contestant went up to draw lots, and soon the opponents of the competition were determined.

It is worth mentioning that Germany, as the king, has never been drawn by any team.

Souji Hata vaguely heard several people around him praying silently not to win the lottery against Germany.

"Neon!"

Byodoin Phoenix glanced at Bantian Souji.

"Kid, go draw lots!"

"I know!"

Souji Hatada stood up confidently and strode onto the stage. Under the warm smile of the host, he slowly walked to a button. Looking at the flags of various countries that were constantly beating on the screen, Souji Hatada did not hesitate.

One click.

Immediately, their opponent for the exhibition match was determined.

"Oh!"

“amazing!”

“thanks god!”

Listening to the admiration from the venue and looking at the flag symbolizing Germany on the screen, Byodoin's face turned black.

This brat!

Commander Hata looked at the German flag and smiled slightly.

One shot into the soul.
Chapter completed!
