章 57: Tournament Draw! (II)

As all the players sat in the gymnasium, the live broadcast of the tournament drawing finally started on Akira's laptop. They all could see immediately four massive brackets with sixteen blank spots in every bracket. The four teams who won the entire bracket would be in the semifinal and fight against each other to be the number one team in Tokyo this year, and the top three teams would also be the representatives of Tokyo in the next national tournament.

Unlike the first round where the team couldn't know their next opponent, this time, every team would be able to predict how hard their journey would be, and everyone prayed to not be placed in the same bracket as Konan or Matsukita. The same could also be said for Tsunemori too. While Riku might love the challenge, he wasn't crazy enough to want to meet a strong opponent too early. It would be better if those strong teams killed each other first and let them win against an easy opponent quietly.
