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

Tianyu stared at Atobe's confident face and felt relieved immediately.

He knew that the man in front of him was the Ice Emperor, Atobe Keigo, and that he would never be satisfied with the status quo.

"I've noticed everyone's efforts over this period of time, and the improvement in basic skills has been quite significant." Tianyu's words were filled with some praise. Judging from the five-dimensional data, the people of Bingdi had indeed surpassed themselves in the original work long ago.

"Therefore, I propose that the focus of future training should shift to actual combat drills. After all, only in real confrontation can we unleash everyone's greatest potential and better test our training results."

Hearing this, Atobe curled his lips into a meaningful smile. "Tianyu, you're very thoughtful. However, I already have an idea of the actual combat arrangements." Then, he fiddled with his hair in a cocky manner.

"I've contacted a top-tier team from the US. They'll be arriving in about a week to play a friendly match with us," Atobe said, gently smoothing his hair. (Good boy, you can't even talk without messing with your hair???) Tianyu couldn't help but nod inwardly. Playing against such a high-level team would undoubtedly be a huge test of their team's strength, and also a rare opportunity for growth.

"Looks like I really don't have to worry anymore," Tianyu chuckled. With Atobe's financial resources, the people he'd found wouldn't be ordinary. (Atobe's using his money again. Oh, never mind. I'll just take care of the fighting.)

But it's time for him to do something for Hyotei. After all, he is Hyotei's deputy minister.

Besides, the strength of the Ice Emperor's people has improved to such an extent that ordinary training has no obvious effect, so let's do some "special" training.

Tianyu took a deep breath, then slowly took out the exquisite phone from his pocket. His fingertips danced lightly on the keyboard and he skillfully dialed the familiar number.

The phone rang on the other end, and every ring seemed to be striking at his heartstrings. He was extremely nervous at this moment.

"Moshi Moshi, is this Father?" Tianyu's voice came through the microphone, sounding particularly respectful and humble. (System: My goodness, is this still my host???)

A moment later, the steady and unquestionable majestic voice of Amaha Shinjiro came from the microphone.

"It's me. If you have something to say, just say it directly." Shinjiro's tone was concise and clear, without too much greetings. As the head of the Tianyu family, his time was very precious.

Tianyu took a deep breath, making his voice sound more resolute and powerful. "Father, I'm calling to ask you something important. As you know, I joined Hyotei's tennis club, but we've hit a wall. Therefore, I'd like to make a request. Could you please use your resources and connections to invite Coach Mifune Nyudo from the Neon U17 Tennis Training Camp to come and coach Hyotei Academy for a week in three weeks? I believe that with his guidance, our strength will reach new heights."

After saying this, Tianyu felt his heartbeat quicken and his palms sweat slightly. This was the first time he had formally made a request to his father. But he also firmly believed that his father would definitely support him. (Yes, it's just money, Tianyu also has it)

Shinjiro's expression froze for a moment after hearing Tianyu's words. A flicker of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he was trying to confirm whether he had misheard something important. "Are you serious, Lin'er?" he asked again, a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Tianyu's face was resolute, his gaze blazing, unwavering. "Yes, father, I'm serious." His words were clear and forceful, each word a promise uttered after careful consideration. "According to my recent in-depth investigation and understanding, Neon U17's first team is about to embark on an expedition, and their head coach, Mr. Mifune, is not traveling with the team. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; we could definitely invite him to coach Hyotei Academy."

"Lin'er, I understand your determination." Knowing his son's determination, Shinji's voice became solemn and deep.

"Since you are so determined, I will fully support you. The entire Tianyu Group will also be your strongest backing. Don't worry, I will do my best to invite Coach Mifune Nyudo."

"Then I would like to thank you, father." Tianyu's face was filled with joy and excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"It's okay. As a man of the Tianyu family, just go ahead and do what you want. Your father will cover for you." Shinjiro said proudly.

……

As the call ended, Tianyu slowly put the phone back in his hand, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement.

His heart beat faster, as if a warm current was flowing through his body.

Mifune Nyudo is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding coaches in Japan today. He has trained countless top young players and pushed them to the world stage.

Now, this coach is about to lead Hyotei Academy, which will be a qualitative leap for Hyotei. (Later, the protagonist will lead Hyotei into the upper bracket of the U17 competition, but not the lower bracket. Mifune Nyudo will not be allowed to train at that time. Therefore, Mifune Nyudo is invited here now to coach Hyotei before the national competition.)

In fact, Tianyu still has some selfish motives. If Coach Mifune comes to guide the training, then Akutsu will be the biggest beneficiary.

In his opinion, among all the people of Hyotei, only Akutsu, Shishido and Hiyoshi are more suitable to follow the Ashura Shinto path.

Among them, Akutsu has the best chance of success. (Shishido and Hiyoshi are the two Hyotei players who have failed the most times so far and are the most unwilling to accept their current situation. Therefore, writing them as qualified to initiate the Ashura Shinto is a bit of a boost, but it's impossible for these two to master the alternate-dimensional ball skills before the national competition.)

But Tianyu would never have imagined that not long after, under the instructions of Coach Mifune, he personally sent these three people to hell. Of course, this is a story for later.

On the Rikkai University campus, looking at the tennis report about the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament on the table, the three giants of Rikkai University fell into deep thought. They did not expect that Hyotei would be so strong this year, and even Seigaku, where Tezuka Kunimitsu was present, was shut out.

Among the three giants, Sanada reacted most strongly. At this moment, he was emitting a black aura. "Atobe, I didn't expect you to have evolved to this point. It seems that letting you go that time was really a wrong decision." Then, regardless of Yanagi's obstruction, Sanada went to find Kirihara Akaya for extra training. (Kelp Head: So I am the one who got hurt again, wuwuwu)
