Tennis Club Guide (p. 260-261)
A man that holds the ultimate charisma leads over 200 members!
This year was a very turbulent season for Hyotei. They were defeated by the dark horse Fudomine in the Tokyo regionals and had to accept the consolation slot for the finals. They also lost the Kantou tournament preliminaries. Getting their pride destroyed strengthened their appetite for victory. Lead by Atobe, they once again stand to regain their lost pride!
Hyotei Topics 1
Extra invitations lead them to Nationals!
Being selected for the extra invitation once again opened their cut-short road to Nationals. Their strong desire to go to the nationals brought this opportunity to them. However, being selected to participate as such lead them to vow that they stand on top and show everyone the true strength of Hyotei.
“Hey Atobe! Even if it’s just an extra invitation we can still go to Nationals!!” – Mukahi Gakuto
Even if they were just selected through an extra invitation they still cannot hide their joy.
Hyotei Topics 2
They held the expectations of the entire student body!

Intelligence
Enriching elegance through remarkable experiences
The school life of a student can be enriched if they can effectively spend their short time immersing themselves in an excellent environment, even if it’s just for a short period.
The winter international exchange student programs are now open for applications
To become a person recognized worldwide…
It is important to have a defined goal when participating for the international exchange student program. Depending on their goal, students can choose from the 4 international sister schools listed on the school recommended plan.

Information: Library
The Library’s
French Literature Fair begins

Main line up:
Romain Rolland / Arthur Rimbaud / Paul Valér / André Paul Guillaume Gide
Cultural Department Member Taki Haginosuke: “Good job liking French Literature. I recommend reading Romain Rolland.”
Beauty & Health
Let’s build beautiful and healthy bodies
Sports is not only about developing the body it is also about the spirit. The joy of winning and the frustration of loss are experiences that cannot be gained in everyday life. Using those emotions as a source of encouragement, let’s train our mind and body and aim for true healthiness.
The male tennis club is ranked 8th nationwide!!
– Oshitari Yuushi’s S3 match versus Seigaku during the quarterfinal matches.
– Shishido & Ootori Pair’s brilliant win during the D1 match
Irreplaceable experiences learned through sports
Last year ended with good results as the male tennis team surpassed the best 16. Their high level play from the nationals gave us a very irreplaceable excitement. Even though they were unable to win, their tennis will be remembered for bringing honor to Hyotei.
Information: On the spot coverage of the sports meet team selection
