[edit] History

Hyotei Academy is a team that uses a strict stratification and merit system, which prioritizes ability only rather than emotion. If any regular loses a match, they are removed from their spot and only given a second chance in very rare conditions. With Keigo Atobe as their leader, Hyotei's tennis club is over two hundred members strong. They suffer setbacks early in the story, losing to Fudomine during the Prefectural Tournament, and then they are defeated by Seigaku during the first round of the tournament before the nationals, leaving them ineligible. They are all depressed until they receive a special invite due to the host city, Tokyo, getting to invite one extra team.
