"Germany!"

“Our opponent in the exhibition match is Germany!!”

"We will compete with the king of Germany from the beginning!!!"

When Souji Hatada brought the news of his draw back to the hotel where the Neon U17 team was staying, he received the expected reaction.

Hata Souji looked at the astonished people with a faint smile and nodded calmly.

"Well, our opponent at the beginning of the exhibition match is the king of Germany!"

Seeing Souji Hatada's leisurely and contented look, Tohno Atsukyo licked his lips with his tongue and spoke in a serious tone.

"Boy, I have an idea of ​​​​executing you right now!"

Kimijima Ikuto helplessly held his forehead.

“It’s too bad to sign in.”

Mori Juzaburo smiled bitterly.

"It's really like signing the lottery with one stick."

Listening to the complaints of the high school students, Souji Hata spread his hands helplessly.

"Please, whoever made our world ranking so low, if we go up later, the chances of being drawn will be higher."

Hearing this, the high school students' expressions suddenly froze, and their eyes glanced dangerously at Hata Souji.

I always feel like they are blaming Sang and Huai, scolding us for not doing our best last year!

The junior high school students didn't take it seriously. Kintaro Toyama looked at the nervous high school students with some confusion.

"I said, are you too nervous? It's just an exhibition match. So what if the opponent is the number one in the world? Isn't it supposed to be a happy thing to have the opportunity to play against such a strong opponent in advance?

"

Other junior high school students also agreed.

Atobe Keigo said in an aggressive tone: "Yes, sooner or later we will become opponents anyway, so this situation is not bad!"

Genichiro Sanada looked serious: "If you are frightened just by hearing your opponent's name, it will be impossible to conquer the world!"

Yukimura Seiichi smiled faintly, his eyes were extremely deep and cold.

"Even if the opponent is Germany, which is known as the king, it cannot be said that defeating us is a sure thing!"

Seeing the junior high school students showing how they were not afraid of tigers, Oni Jujiro sighed lightly.

"We are not worried about losing to Germany, but we are worried about you!"

Before he could finish speaking, Byodoin Phoenix directly took over the conversation and looked at the junior high school students with scrutinizing eyes.

"Let me remind you first, you junior high school students, don't be frightened by the German team then!"

Looking at Byodoin Phoenix's serious eyes, and noticing the slightly solemn expressions of the other high school students and coaching staff, all the junior high school students looked stern.

Perhaps, they still underestimated the strength of the German team.

but......

"Stop looking down on others!"

"That's it! Who would be afraid?"

"It should be said that we will do our best to defeat the German team!"

Byodoin Phoenix quietly looked at the junior high school students' eyes full of fighting spirit and determination, and said lightly: "Humph, you are a bunch of brats who have never seen the world. You can only use your words at this time.

"

With that said, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing Byodoin Phoenix's attitude, the junior high school students were a little dissatisfied.

"But."

Byodoin Phoenix turned around and said without any hesitation: "Your ignorant and fearless courage is worth looking forward to."

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

"Snapped!"

The whole room fell silent.

Later, Atobe Keigo complained in a funny and teasing tone: "This guy is really not straightforward!"

Kirihara Akaya looked helpless and disgusted.

"I should say it's awkward!"

"Okay, okay, it's getting late. Let's take a rest early and prepare for the next exhibition match!"

Saito Zhi clapped his hands and urged the players to rest.

Just when everyone was about to leave, Soji Hata seemed to suddenly remember something, and suddenly said: "Ah! I remembered one more thing."

"Um?"

Seeing Souji Hata's appearance, everyone suddenly became alert.

Atobe Keigo narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You shouldn't have brought back any bad news."

Souji Hatada shrugged.

"Probably...half and half."

Kite Eishiro adjusted his glasses and said coldly: "Sure enough, these two people should not have been allowed to draw lots in the first place."

Fuji Shusuke asked softly: "So, what is it?"

Soji Hata looked at everyone and said slowly: "When I was drawing lots today, I saw Tezuka-senpai."

"Tezuka?"

"He will represent the German team in the U17 World Series."

"Germany!!!!!!"

...

At this time, the hotel where the German team stayed.

Borg looked calmly at the night outside the window, his eyes flashing with thought, thinking about what Tezuka Kunimitsu had just said to him.

"Senior, I'm going to practice."

"Huh? Why are you practicing so late tonight, Tezuka?"

"Well, because today I met the opponent I want to defeat."

"The opponent, that short boy?"

"Yes, he is very strong. I have never won a match with him."

Recalling the serious and firm manner in which Tezuka Kunimitsu said these words, Borg's rock-solid heart became slightly curious.

He was a little curious about how strong the young man who could make Tezuka care so much could be.

Then his eyes dropped slightly.

Quietly looking at Tezuka Kunimitsu running at night below.

...

Soon, the day will come for the start of the U17 World Series exhibition match.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! The U17 World Series exhibition match, the German team vs. the Neon team is about to begin!"

"Now, let us welcome the ninth consecutive World Cup winner, last year's champion, our defending champion!!!!!"

"Germany!!!!"

“Team appearance!!!!”

Following the host's impassioned speech, the audience watching the game burst into fierce cheers!

Amidst the cheers of the audience, as the player tunnel opened, the dry ice machines on both sides sprayed out cool and mysterious white mist. The German team, everyone dressed in black, was capable, iron-blooded, and serious.

The temperament of the German team was vividly demonstrated, and the team members' faces were either calm, aloof, cold, or careless with smiles, and the kingly demeanor that hit their faces made the audience once again burst out with a fierce welcome.

As the German team entered the stadium, the host's voice remained unchanged and he still shouted in an passionate tone: "Now, let us welcome the neon team."

...

...

The whole audience fell into an embarrassing silence.

I have to say that the audience here is really realistic.

Feeling the sudden change in the atmosphere around them, not to mention the junior high school students, even the high school students felt helpless.
