I am in Prince of Tennis, others are training me while I am lying down

At the sidelines.

Everyone from Fudo Peak.

"The minister just twisted his right foot. I'm a little worried."

Ibu Shinjimichi.

"But the minister's actions haven't changed, so it shouldn't affect the game."

"And the opponent didn't hit the ball at the minister's right foot, so it should be fine."

Kamio Akira advised.

It was indeed as Kamio Akira said, the balls hit by Kirihara Akaya were all concentrated on Tachibana Kippei's left foot, away from his injured right foot.

It does not appear to have aggravated the injury to his right foot.

However, Ibu Shinji could not erase the uneasiness in his heart.

……

On the other side, the Rikkai people.

"Kirihara has found a breakthrough point and reversed the defeat."

Sanada spoke up.

"Kirihara controlled the landing point of the tennis ball very well. Although it was not directly aimed at Tachibana Kihei's right foot, the landing point of each ball forced Tachibana to move his right foot significantly in order to successfully receive the ball."

"Tachibana's right foot was twisted just now, and now with Kirihara deliberately targeting him, Tachibana's physical burden will soon reach its limit."

Yanagi Renji said.

"That was because Ju sprained his right foot first."

"Kirihara's on-the-spot performance and mental quality are pretty good, as he can seize the opponent's loopholes and quickly change strategies."

"But you have to wait for your opponent to show a flaw, rather than taking the initiative to attack."

"Kirhara's strength is still not enough."

Listening to the conversation between the two people behind him, Takahashi spoke.

Listening to Takahashi's words, Yagyu pushed his glasses, and Niou and others also looked serious.

I didn't expect Minister Takahashi to have such excellent insight. Not only did he see the situation on the field clearly, he even analyzed Kirihara's strengths and weaknesses clearly.

You can grasp the key points at once.

What awesome insight and analysis!

……

"boom!"

"15-0!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

……

Because Tachibana Kihei accidentally sprained his right ankle, Kirihara deliberately let Tachibana use his injured right foot extensively. Tachibana's right foot could not bear the burden and he began to lose points frequently!

……

"boom!"

"2-1!"

……

"boom!"

"3-1!"

……

"boom!"

"4-1!"

……

"boom!"

"6-1!"

"The game is over, Rikkai University High School Kirihara Akaya wins!"

"Rikkai University 3-0, wins the game!"

……

Shinagawa.

Rikkai University High School.

It’s been a few days since the semi-final against Fudomine.

Inside a tennis court.

Takahashi tapped the tennis ball on the ground a few times, then threw it up.

While waiting for the tennis ball to fall to the desired position, Takahashi swung the tennis racket vigorously.

Yanagi Renji, who was watching the game, praised: "The minister's serving posture is really standard, without any unnecessary movements, simple and unpretentious, but the effect is amazingly gorgeous."

"boom!"

As Yanagi Renji spoke, the tennis ball flew towards the opponent's half of the court at an astonishing speed.

"Boom!"

I only heard the sound of the tennis ball falling to the ground, but there was no trace of the tennis ball.

Kirihara, who was standing on the other side of the tennis court, felt his eyes blurred and a yellow light flashed from the corner of his eyes.

Kirihara looked back at the barbed wire behind him.

Sure enough, the tennis ball got stuck in the wire fence.

Kirihara shifted his gaze again and looked towards the backcourt, where a dark tennis ball mark suddenly appeared at the baseline.

If it weren't for this mark, Kirihara wouldn't have been sure whether the tennis ball was out of bounds.

He couldn't catch any trace of the tennis ball on Takahashi's serve.

Sanada, who was watching the game, also said, "Indeed, Minister Takahashi has made progress again."

"It was just a normal serve, no tricks involved, and my eyes couldn't follow it."

Yanagi Renji looked at the speedometer in his hand.

235km/h!

What a terrifying speed!

But judging from Takahashi's serving posture, one would never have thought that the ball speed would be so amazing.

An ordinary serving posture resulted in such an amazing shot.

This is entirely because Takahashi’s basic strength is too strong!

"Kirhara, you couldn't even touch the ball for three consecutive times, so you should practice more!"

Takahashi spoke.

This is just a normal practice match.

After the match against Fudomine that ended a few days ago, Takahashi felt that Kirihara still had a lot of room for improvement.

He had nothing to do, so he decided to help Kirihara.

But unexpectedly, Kirihara couldn't even touch the ball.

Fighting further would just be a waste of time.

Takahashi decisively decided not to fight, turned around and left the arena, walked to Sanada and Yanagi who were watching the game, and picked up a bottle of drink.

"Yes, Master, I will work hard."

Kirihara shouted to Takahashi who had already left the stadium.

I didn't expect the gap between him and Takahashi to be so big. He must practice hard.

Takahashi unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle at the side of the stadium, tilted his head back and took a big sip of Coke.

"Our opponent in the Kanto finals is Seigaku."

Yanagi Renji spoke.

"Qingxue? It's rare!"

Sanada said.

Last year's Kanto tournament finals was between Hyotei and Rikkai University, but unexpectedly this year it would be between Seigaku.

A few years ago, Seigaku was a very ordinary team in the Kanto Tournament. Their strength was no match for Hyotei. Even Yamabuki was stronger than Seigaku.

Takahashi put down the Coke in his hand and said, "It's expected."

Yanagi Renji continued, "Sei Gakuen is on a strong momentum this year. The one who deserves the most attention is the first-year player Echizen Ryoma. His joining has greatly enhanced Sei Gakuen's singles strength."

"In this year's competition, Qingxue has not lost to any school. At most, we lost by one or two points."

Takahashi said: "Echizen Ryoma is an opponent worthy of attention."

"But that's all. The champion will always be our Rikkai University."

Sanada said: "Yes, our Rikkai University's three consecutive national championships are flawless."

"Minister, there is one more thing."

“A lot of tennis newspapers wanted to interview us.”

Takahashi said, "Sanada, you can make the decision on such a small matter!"

……

D. Beijing.

Inside the activity room of the Qingxue Tennis Club.

The red-haired Kikumaru Eiji rushed in with a newspaper in his hand, shouting as he ran, "Little guy, you're in the newspaper!"

"What?" Momoshiro Takeshi didn't believe it and moved forward to read the contents of the newspaper.

The newspaper printed a portrait of Ryoma Echizen, who was the Ryoma Echizen during the battle between Seigaku and Hyotei some time ago.

The text on the side describes in detail how Ryoma Echizen, a freshman star in tennis, shined in the match against Hyotei and defeated his opponent.

The gorgeous words of praise made Momoshiro Takeshi very envious.

"This time, the little devil has come to the fore."

"This group of reporters is the same. The words they use are too exaggerated!"

Kikumaru handed the newspaper in his hand to others to read.

Shuichiro Oishi leaned over to take a look, and the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

Kikumaru was confused: "Oishi, why do you look like that?"

"Are you jealous that the little one is more popular than you?"

Kikumaru teased his partner Oishi with a very lighthearted tone.

Oishi sighed helplessly and said, "Eiji, besides Echizen, you should also pay attention to other reports."

Fuji Shusuke, who always smiles, pursed his lips tightly and said, "This report is a bit too much. The game hasn't even started yet, but it's already said for sure that our Seigakukai will lose!"
