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

On a sunny afternoon, Tianyu and Atobe stood side by side at the top of the stands.

The two people were chatting with each other about their daily lives, and their smiles revealed a tacit understanding, as if the whole world had stopped.

Akutsu and Karachi chose to sit leisurely in a rest area not far away, each immersed in their own world.

Akutsu's eyes revealed deep impatience and disdain, while Karaichi remained silent and loyal as always. His presence was like a towering mountain, stable and reliable.

On the vast playground, the members of Hyotei Academy's tennis club are conducting intensive and orderly training.

Their figures jumped and ran in the sunshine, and every movement was full of power and beauty.

However, even though their bodies were constantly moving, their eyes often drifted involuntarily towards Atobe at the top of the stands, and their admiration and attention for their leader were difficult to conceal.

This is especially true for the starting players. They don't seem to be fully focused on training, and every swing of the racket and every run seems a little absent-minded.

Their eyes showed both concentration on training and anticipation and anxiety about the important decision that Atobe was about to announce.

This atmosphere filled the entire training ground with a tense and delicate atmosphere.

Suddenly, Atobe and Tianyu slowly walked down the stairs in an unignorable posture. Atobe led with his signature elegant pace, each step seemed so calm, while Tianyu followed closely behind with a steady pace and a faint yet determined light in his eyes.

After standing still, without any hesitation, he slowly raised his right hand, which he often used to show off his aristocratic temperament, and gently bent his fingers. Then, a crisp and powerful snap of his fingers cut through the air. A "bang" sound echoed in the empty hall, like an order, instantly plunging the originally slightly noisy environment into silence.

Everyone's attention seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and turned to Atobe's direction at the same time.

They opened their eyes wide, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity, trying to figure out what was hidden behind this sudden change.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, Atobe gently combed his slightly messy gray hair with his fingers, and elegantly lifted them behind his head, revealing his face full of confidence and domineering.

Then, in a tone that left no room for doubt, he slowly began, "I have an important announcement to make. From today on, the position of Vice President of our Hyotei Academy Tennis Club will be held by Tian Yulin, who is standing beside me. His words are my words, and his decisions are mine."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall instantly became boiling, as if a stone had been thrown into the lake, causing ripples to form.

Some people were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, some looked unconvinced, and some even started whispering to each other.

"What? Let a new guy be the deputy minister? How is that possible!"

"That's right, aren't you being too hasty, Master Atobe?"

"What qualifications does Tian Yulin have?"

Various voices of dissatisfaction and questioning arose one after another, and the air was filled with a tense and subtle atmosphere.

Shishido Ryo's opposition was particularly strong. He directly shouted to Atobe Keigo, "Hey, Atobe, I, Shishido Ryo, will not easily approve of this new vice-minister. What is so outstanding about him that he can sit in such an important position? I really can't accept such a decision."

Although the regular players of the tennis club around him did not directly refute like Shishido Ryo, their eyes also showed dissatisfaction and confusion.

They all turned their eyes to Atobe, and their eyes contained both awe for this emperor-like existence and contempt for the man who was about to become their deputy.

However, in the face of such doubts, Atobe Keigo just smiled lightly, and that smile was full of disdain and confidence.

He spoke slowly, his voice filled with unquestionable authority. "It seems you all have misunderstood something. I am standing here today not to solicit your opinions, but to announce a decision that has already been finalized. Remember, this is the Hyotei Academy Tennis Club, my kingdom. I make all the rules, and I have the final say on all personnel appointments and dismissals. Do any of you dare to defy the emperor's orders?"

As soon as the words fell, the entire tennis court seemed to be silent.

Atobe Keigo's powerful aura made everyone present feel pressured, but they also understood that this was Atobe, the emperor who was always confident and proud.

Even though they felt dissatisfied, they had to admit that this was the rule of the Hyotei Academy Tennis Club and the rule they had to follow.

Tianyu's face was filled with a confident smile. He gently patted Jibe's shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement and challenge.

He spoke in a tone that was both relaxed and serious, "Let me do it, Atobe. I've heard that you're known as the king of tennis in Neon Junior High School, commanding countless loyal and powerful soldiers. Today, let Akutsu and I serve as touchstones to test the true strength of these soldiers you, the king, have meticulously trained."

"Well, I leave it to you. It's time to suppress these ignorant brats." He was full of confidence in Tianyu. Tianyu Lin now exuded the aura of a national-level person, and he would not admit his mistake. After saying this, he gave the main seat to Tianyu.

"Akutsu, the time has come. Let's teach these guys a lesson." Tianyu had a playful smile on his face, with anticipation glittering in his eyes. He gently patted Akutsu's shoulder, as if giving him invisible strength.

Although Tianyu is known as the "noble prince of the court" in Eagle Country, that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper. Akutsu, a player known for his ferocity, displayed that unruly and wild nature to the fullest.

He narrowed his eyes, like a wolf locking onto its prey, and fiercely scanned the Ice Emperor's regular team and the spectators around them who were eager to make a move.

That look was cold and sharp, as if it could penetrate people's hearts, making everyone present shiver involuntarily.

Even the Hyotei regulars who usually think highly of themselves felt an unprecedented sense of oppression under Akutsu's ferocious gaze that seemed to devour everything, and some even took a few steps back unconsciously.

"Hmph, it seems like you guys really won't cry until you see the coffin." Seeing this, Tianyu's smile widened. He turned his gaze to Shishido with a look full of challenge and provocation.

"Shishido-kun, don't you always think we're unqualified? Well, today is a good opportunity for you to let Akutsu test your strength. As long as one of you can defeat him, I, Tianyu, will resign from my position as vice-minister immediately without hesitation. I mean what I say!"

Tianyu's words were powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

Shishido felt a chill in his heart when Tianyu stared at him. It was an indescribable pressure, as if even his breathing became heavy.

Although he didn't believe in his heart that he or his teammates would lose to Akutsu, Tianyu's confidence and determination forced him to face this sudden challenge.

"Okay! Since you said so, we will obey your orders." Shishido took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He looked at his teammates with a determined light in his eyes.

"Everyone, let's prove everything with our strength! No matter what the outcome, at least we must give it our all and leave no regrets!"

As Shishido finished speaking, Hyotei's regular players responded one after another. Although they were nervous, they were more motivated to fight.
