Ten hours later, the plane landed slowly at Melbourne Airport.

Everyone who was sleeping was woken up by the coach and got off the plane together.

"Is this Melbourne?"

The high school students were okay, after all, they had been on many expeditions, but the junior high school students seemed a little too excited. It was their first time to participate in such a grand competition, and they could compete with masters from major countries in the world. Naturally,

Unable to conceal excitement and nervousness.

And this is Melbourne. As a tennis player, no one doesn't know that the Australian Open, one of the world's largest tennis events, is held here.

"You guys, please calm down and don't disgrace our team." Mifune shouted at the junior high school students who looked like newborn calves.

However, looking at his sloppy clothes and drunken appearance, who is the embarrassment?

"Hey, look at that group of people over there. They are also participating in the U17 World Cup." Shiraishi saw a group of people about the same size as them, each carrying a tennis bag. It was obvious that they were also World Cup participants, but they

Most people don’t recognize the national flag.

"That's the Xia Zhiguan Republic." Atobe, who received an elite education since childhood, recognized this country at a glance.

Shen Yu understood that it turned out to be the country that was bullied by the American team in the original work. It was not strong enough and it only showed up to highlight Ryoma's majesty.

"There is no need to pay attention to them. They are just cannon fodder ranked last among the thirty-two participating teams." Byodoin Phoenix said disdainfully.

"What, he's the last one, so he's so weak." Kirihara immediately lost interest. He was also born in the King Tachikai University, and he was naturally disdainful of the weak, but there was one thing he was very curious about, "By the way, Senior Byodoin, then

Where is our team ranked?"

"Ahem!" Hearing this, the high school students all coughed in embarrassment, because their ranking this week happened to be 31st, and they were second to last, one place higher than the first to last.

They were a little bit speechless, after all, these results were achieved by high school students like them.

Shen Yu secretly laughed. These arrogant high school students were finally defeated. They couldn't even answer Kirihara's words.

Although the original team was ranked 23rd in the end, it was only after the exhibition match with Germany that it was improved thanks to the outstanding performance of Fuji, Tokugawa and others. Now it is second to last. How can they say this.

Only Byodo-in does not care about his own ranking at all, because he knows that the previous Japanese team has never really tried its best, not to mention that he himself has hidden secrets, Oni Jujiro, Tanejima Shuji, Tokugawa Kazuya and

The masters such as Irie Jiangzouduo also stayed in the training camp and never went out to fight.

And this year, they also hope that the super monster Yue Shenyu will join. He believes that this year's Japanese team is definitely qualified to charge towards the Big 4 and even the championship.

"Okay, it's almost time. You two, Byodo-in and Shenyu, get ready. You have to go to the arena to draw lots in the evening. As for the others, you can go shopping by yourself. Just return to the hotel before dinner and don't get lost.

"Mifune Idao waved his hand, which relieved the high school students' embarrassment.

"Long live!" Kirihara immediately ignored the question he just asked. It was rare to come to Melbourne, so of course he had to have fun, and nothing else mattered.

"Kid, let's go, I'll take you to see the world." Byodoin Phoenix said.

Shen Yu nodded, "I'm looking forward to it. Then you can introduce me to the masters from all over the world."

In the evening, inside the Melbourne venue.

Countless figures gathered here.

Reporters, players, scouts, etc., it can be described as a mixed bag.

"Tsk, tsk, what a grand scene." Shenyu sighed. It was indeed the U17 World Cup. As a world competition, their previous national competitions were nothing compared to it.

Shen Yu is somewhat looking forward to what it will be like when he truly enters the professional arena in the future.

"On the eve of the World Cup, there will be a full day of exhibition time. Players from all over the world will appear and conduct an exhibition match. Junior high school students and high school students from each country will form doubles and send three groups to compete. This is equivalent to the start of the main game.

It’s a warm-up beforehand, and it’s also a game for sponsors and media to watch.” Byodoin Phoenix said, “Some countries will hide their strength, and some countries will try their best to win. In fact, the game has already started at this moment.”

"Isn't it interesting? Byodoin and Big 4 have already arrived, right?" Shen Yu asked.

"That's right." Byodo-in introduced to different people, "The two handsome guys sitting there are Camus and Tristan from the French team, and the one with the yellow headscarf is Swiss professional player Amadeus.

.”

"Also, the German team, which has won nine consecutive U17 World Cup titles, is the strongest team today. That bald head is their captain, Polk, who is also ranked number one among active professional players."

"Polk?" Shenyu looked at the man. In this competition, the opponents that Shenyu was most interested in were Medanore, Echizen Ryuya, and this Polk.

Although he slightly lost to Byodo-in Phoenix in the original book, his overall strength was still superior to Byodo-in Phoenix. If Byodo-in could defeat him, it could be said that it cost him his life, or even reduced it.

At the cost of his own career, he resorted to Alaya to barely win, regardless of the consequences.

"You are... Shen Yu!" At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Shen Yu. It was Tezuka Kunimitsu. He was wearing a suit with the logo of the German team on it.

"Tezuka-senpai, long time no see. It seems that you have officially become a member of the German team." Shen Yu said calmly, without any surprise.

"Yes." Tezuka nodded and said, "I didn't expect that we would get the chance to fight again under such circumstances. Are Fuji, Echizen and Oishi okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, they are all coming to Melbourne too." Shen Yu replied.

"Tezuka, come back to your seat. The lottery is about to begin." Polk walked towards Tezuka and saw Byodoin Phoenix and Mochizuki Shenyu.

With his status, of course he would not take these two people seriously.

But when he and Shen Yu's eyes met, Shen Yu looked at him with deep but indifferent eyes, without any respect for him, and could even be said to be somewhat casual.

"Since this professional uncle has come to call you, then Tezuka-senpai, let's see you on the field, and Uncle Polk, I'm looking forward to playing against you." Shenyu waved his hand and left with Byodoin Phoenix.

went.

Byodoin showed a smile. Should I say that this brat deserves to be him? He dared to challenge Polk when he first came here. Sure enough, except for their slightly different outlook on life, this brat's character was very similar in other aspects.

And his taste!
