Chapter 21
After the opening ceremony, all the freshmen went to their classes under the guidance of the teachers. It is worth mentioning that Akashi and all the people he recruited were in Class 1, Grade 1. This was obviously Akashi's work. He wanted to make the main players of the tennis club develop feelings and tacit understanding faster in the future. When introducing himself, the appearance of the foreigner Kurasaki still caused a lot of discussion, but he was used to it and didn't care at all. After everyone finished their self-introductions, when the head teacher announced the entrance test results, the students in Class 1 were surprised to find that there were 5 full marks in their class, namely Akashi, Tezuka, Kurasaki, Mute and Akutsu. Although the students were a little surprised about the first four students who got full marks, they were more envious. However, it was different for Akutsu. When he introduced himself just now, he looked fierce and dangerous, and his words revealed the aura of a bad boy. Many students could not accept that such a person could get full marks.
There is also a small episode here. Since Akashi was deeply impressed by Akutsu in the original work, he could not look directly at Akutsu's mushroom head now, which felt too inconsistent.
So Akutsu was asked to change his hairstyle before school started. Although Akutsu didn't care about his hairstyle and appearance at all, he still shouted "Don't order me" and accepted Akashi's suggestion to go to the barber shop and change to the sky-high hairstyle in the original work.
Sure enough, when the hairstyle was changed, the fierce and bad aura came to his face. This is also an important reason why the classmates in the class believed that Akutsu was a bad boy, but Akutsu himself didn't care at all, and Akashi felt that this kind of Akutsu was much more pleasing to the eye.
Speaking of hair, Akashi suddenly discovered that except for Chitose and Kido, the current members of the tennis club did not have black hair. Thinking of Akira Kamio and Shinji Ibu who might join the tennis club in a year, is this going to become the Rainbow Team of the Prince of Tennis world?
Time flies, and the first day of school is over soon. Under Akashi's leadership, everyone carried their tennis bags and walked towards the newly built tennis club venue. After arriving at the tennis club, they found the principal and two girls waiting at the entrance of the court.
The principal of Fudomine saw Akashi and others coming, and immediately stepped forward, smiling and somewhat flattering to Akashi:
"Chairman, you are here. Are you satisfied with this newly built court and tennis club facilities?"
"Very good, by the way, Mr. Principal, just call me by my name from now on. You should also know that I am just a nominal permanent director. I have no interest in the operation of the school and will not interfere. I just need the school to unconditionally support the tennis club." Akashi responded with a polite smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, Akashi, let me introduce you. The two people behind me are members of the school student union. They will be responsible for the registration of new students and the recruitment of members temporarily. They can also serve as managers of the tennis club in the future. Of course, if Akashi has other suitable candidates in the future, just tell them directly and let them return to the student union." After that, the principal made way and motioned the two girls behind him to come forward.
The two girls walked in front of Akashi, both stretched out their white hands, shook hands with Akashi, and made a brief self-introduction.
Akashi also nodded with satisfaction. He was actually a little surprised. He didn't expect that the principal had made such detailed arrangements in advance, and even found a manager for the tennis club for him. However, there was no other expression on his face. He always kept a faint smile and said:
"Due to the school's strong support and new establishment of the tennis club, plus my speech at the opening ceremony, I believe that there will be many curious students coming to watch and sign up later. This will trouble the two seniors."
"No problem, leave it to us!" One of the girls said confidently.
Seeing that his arrangement was not in vain, the principal was very happy to say hello to Akashi and the others and left. After all, he had other things to do and could not accompany Akashi and the others all the time.
After that, the two girls from the student union began to get busy. First, they helped Akashi and the others to register the relevant information, and then they called other students to help set up the registration desk and print relevant forms.
After Akashi and the others completed the registration, they walked to the newly built meeting room of the tennis club. At this time, students had come to the tennis club to watch, both freshmen and old students, but unlike the freshmen, they were very good.
Strange, the faces of the old students were full of complexity and surprise. They all knew what the original tennis club and its members looked like.
Some freshmen who were interested in tennis had already come to the registration desk to sign up, and everyone in the conference room, watching this scene through the large screen in the conference room, also had an interested look.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that Akashi not only provided a large number of training equipment for the construction of the tennis club, but also paid great attention to the materials used in the newly built tennis courts. In addition, many modern equipment were installed, such as monitoring in various locations and courts throughout the tennis club. This was also the inspiration that the U-17 training camp in the original book brought to Akashi.
In the conference room, everyone looked at each other. Although Akashi had introduced each other to everyone before school started, it was the first time for the real people to meet.
Akashi sat in the main seat in the conference room, looking at the team he had formed, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart. These people were all top figures among junior high school students in the original book, and even Tezuka and Akatsu had wonderful performances in the U17 Tennis World Cup.
He tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, attracting everyone's attention to himself. Akashi looked around, and with a hint of majesty in his tone, he said:
"Everyone, welcome to join the Fudomine Tennis Club. You should all know each other, so I won't introduce you here. Today is the first regular meeting of our tennis club. I think with your strength, you should be able to easily win in the regular selection trials later."
Everyone nodded in agreement, without saying anything, waiting for Akashi to continue speaking. Seeing this, Akashi did not hesitate and continued to speak slowly:
"When inviting everyone, I said before that the goal of our tennis club is very simple, that is, to win the national championship three times in a row, without any accidents and without allowing failure! Regarding the rules of the tennis club, I will wait until all the members have successfully registered and make a unified announcement. Now I will talk about the matters concerning the selection. "
"Our tennis club will not have an instructor or coach. In the future, I will send someone to handle all the communication matters before the game. You don't have to worry about this. There will also be someone responsible for investigating and sorting out the information of other schools. As for everyone's usual training, I will personally supervise and guide them. Do you have any objection to this?" Akashi looked at everyone calmly.
Tezuka and the others shook their heads, indicating that they had no objection, while Akatsu curled his lips and said "huh" softly, but did not say anything.
Akashi ignored Akatsu's reaction. He was used to it. After seeing that everyone had no objection, he took out a rectangular jewelry box from his bag. After opening the box, there were 7 badges with extremely exquisite appearance.
The badge is in the shape of an inverted triangle, with a black main body and golden trim around it. There are also black and golden wings on both sides, and golden letters and numbers in the middle, from No. 1 to No. 7.
This is also a special order made by Akashi imitating the model of the U-17 training camp. There are 10 badges in total, but he thinks that only a few people in the conference room are qualified to wear them, so he only brought the first 7 badges today.
"This is the ranking badge I specially ordered for the main force of the tennis club. Only the main players wearing the badge represent the core combat power of our tennis club. After completing the main selection trials, I will arrange the main selection ranking competition. After the ranking is determined, everyone needs to wear their corresponding ranking badges."
"The minimum requirement for wearing a badge is to reach the Kanto level, so I only took out 7 badges at present, which is also my recognition of your strength. Well, that's it. The detailed rules will be announced after all members are gathered." Akashi said and looked at the big screen.
The other people in the meeting room were staring at the badge in the jewelry box with fiery eyes. Of course, no one would think about competing for the No. 1 badge now, because they all knew that it was destined to belong to Akashi, but it was hard to say in the future, at least that's what they thought.
After a while, the senior sister in charge of registering new members came to the meeting room and informed that all students had completed registration and that those who had signed up for the club had gathered in the open space in the center of the tennis club.
Akashi nodded, thanked the senior sister, and after signaling everyone to bring their rackets, he walked to the gathering place with everyone. This was a place that Akashi had specially vacated to facilitate the announcement of some important matters.
After arriving at the open space, Tezuka and others consciously joined the team, while Akashi continued to move forward and came to the platform in front of everyone, looking at the nearly fifty or sixty people below, with a dignified expression and a
Si said loudly and noblely:
"Welcome everyone to join the Fudomine Tennis Club. I am the club's president, Akashi Seijuro!"
