Tennis: I have inherited the king's legacy and I am invincible

Sitting in Atobe's luxurious and unique car, Tianyu's eyes fell on Atobe's slightly trembling wrist from time to time, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

"Atobe, do you really not need to go to the hospital for another check-up on your wrist? After all, it was an injury you sustained during a competition." His words were full of concern, but also a hint of unquestionable persistence.

Upon hearing this, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if the pain was just a trivial episode to him.

"Tianyu, you underestimate me too much. This little injury is just a stepping stone to victory for Atobe Keigo." As he spoke, he habitually lifted the hair on his forehead. His innate pride and confidence never diminished even in the pain.

Tianyu shook his head slightly. Although he felt helpless, he also understood Atobe's character. "Okay, since you said so, I believe you. But, Atobe, you must remember that the body is the capital of revolution. Starting tomorrow, after you are sure you have fully recovered, we must strengthen your physical training, especially targeted training for your wrist. I don't want to see you affected by the same reason during a competition again." His tone was unyielding.

Atobe gave a bitter smile in his heart, and the word "devil" almost came out of his mouth, but he swallowed it back in the end.

He knew very well that Tianyu's strictness and harshness were all for his own good, so that he could be more invincible in future competitions.

So, he nodded gently, expressing his agreement and determination. "Don't worry, Tianyu. I won't let the same mistake happen again. I don't know what happened to the others."

……

At Hyotei Academy, after two days of battle, every member returned to the campus in the afterglow of the setting sun, full of sweat and smiles.

Their faces were all filled with excitement and anticipation that was difficult to conceal.

Over the past month, the hard training day after day, like the process of sharpening a sword, has allowed their bodies and minds to undergo unprecedented transformation.

Now, it was this actual combat test that released all the pressure that had accumulated over the past month.

During these two days, they felt like they were on a battlefield, and every match was full of unknowns and challenges.

It is these uninterrupted competitions that allow their strength to improve rapidly like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Every swing of the racket and every run embodies their unremitting efforts and sweat.

The feeling of constantly breaking through their own limits in battle makes their blood boil, as if there is an invisible force pushing them forward.

Atobe Keigo, the king of Hyotei Academy, stood in front of everyone, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

Seeing the confidence and fighting spirit on the team members' faces, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart.

He knew that this group of young people were ready and eager to prove themselves in the upcoming Metropolitan Conference and win glory for Hyotei Academy.

So, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with unquestionable determination: "Everyone, it seems you've all had quite a rich experience these past two days, and have gained a lot. But please remember, the real challenge is yet to come. The Metropolitan Conference will begin in a week. This is your stage, and your chance to showcase the power of Hyotei. Everyone, be fully focused and be in top form. In a week, I want to see the Hyotei era, powered by our efforts, arrive with a powerful force!"

As Atobe's words fell, the entire team seemed to be ignited by an invisible force. They shouted in unison, "Yes!" The sound resounded through the sky, filled with a desire for victory and a fearlessness of the challenge. In this moment, they seemed to have seen themselves following Atobe and Tianyu to ascend to the supreme throne.

……

Compared to the noisy atmosphere full of passion and competition inside Hyotei Academy, the outside world is also turbulent and undercurrents are surging.

Hyotei Academy, this name almost resounded throughout the entire Kanto region in just two weeks, especially in Tokyo. Except for the well-known rivals Seigaku and Rikkai University, the rest of the schools were defeated and almost none of them were spared.

This series of victories swept through the entire junior high school tennis world like a storm, causing a huge sensation.

On the one hand, people have to admit that Hyotei Academy is very strong this year, and this behavior proves that they are the strongest Hyotei in history.

On the other hand, some people began to question whether Hyotei's behavior was too "ostentatious", believing that behind their victory might be hidden contempt and disrespect for their opponents.

However, in such an environment of public opinion, the words of Keigo Atobe, the captain of the Hyotei Academy tennis club, pushed the storm to a climax.

"We, Hyotei, will always embrace challenges from all sides with an open attitude." Atobe's words revealed an unparalleled confidence and dominance, as if he was declaring to the entire junior high school tennis world: Hyotei is the king of this field.

This sentence was like a depth bomb, causing huge waves in the deep sea of junior high school tennis, which seemed calm but was actually turbulent.

Many schools were attracted by this momentum and challenged Hyotei with a determination to never give up.

However, when they actually stood on the Ice Emperor's field, they were surprised to find that even the Ice Emperor's second team had strength that was far beyond their reach, and most people had not even seen the faces of the Ice Emperor's starting lineup.

For a time, speculation and discussion about the strength of Hyotei's starting players were rampant in the junior high school tennis community, and no one knew how strong Hyotei would be this year.

And Jibe was very satisfied with all this. Now, under Tianyu's deliberate arrangement, the second army of Hyotei is basically composed of first and second graders. These are the future of Hyotei. That group of people coming to challenge is undoubtedly just providing nutrients for Hyotei's reserve army.

A week later, Hyotei's second team successfully passed the regional trials and secured a spot in the metropolitan conference.

However, the people of Bingdi did not relax at all and continued to make the final challenge before the game.

……

In the coaching room of Hyotei Academy, Sakaki Taro, Ameha, Atobe, and Takimasa sat together in a solemn and focused atmosphere. It was obvious that they were carrying out an important strategic deployment.

Coach Sakaki Taro spoke first, his voice steady and powerful: "Taki, report to us in detail the intelligence you have collected."

Upon hearing this, Taki immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, Coach. According to our analysis, in the upcoming Metropolitan Tournament, the main opponents that Hyotei Academy will face are Seigaku, Yamabuki, and the recently rising Fudomine."

Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo frowned slightly, obviously surprised by the name "Fudomine". He interrupted Taki's report and asked directly: "We will naturally not take Seigaku and Yamabuki lightly, but where did this Fudomine come from?"

Noticing Atobe's confusion and curiosity, Taki continued to explain, "This year's Fudomine is truly not to be underestimated. They've managed to attract former Kyushu Lion Tachibana Yoshihei to join. It's truly incredible that a national-level player would join such an unknown school, but he seems to have sealed his own strength, only able to unleash Kanto-level power. I have no idea why."

"We also have a group of exceptionally strong players, such as Ishida Tetsu, known for his strength, Kamio Akira, known for his speed, and Ibu Shinji, known as a prodigy within the team. They even snatched a point from Seigaku in the regional trials."

Hearing the word "Sei Gakuen," Atobe Keigo's eyes instantly grew sharper. A faint smile played across his lips, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence: "It's truly remarkable to score a point against Tezuka Kunimitsu's team. It seems Fudomine is indeed worthy of being our opponent. Then, let's see who we are on the field!"
