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

Reiji Kamishiro stood at the serving line, sweat streaming down his determined face, the redness and swelling on his knees clearly visible, it was hard to imagine how much he had endured.

Despite the pain surging like a tide, he still clenched his teeth and looked at me with a sharp gaze, as if he wanted to transform this pain into endless power.

He took a deep breath, concentrated all his body weight on his legs, and swung the racket with his last bit of strength. A tennis ball carrying indomitable spirit and persistence cut through the air and flew towards his opponent.

However, Akutsu on the opposite side seemed to have been tired of playing for a long time, with a playful smile on his face.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, he not only did not choose to avoid, but deliberately adjusted his pace and accurately aimed at Shencheng's knee that was already overwhelmed.

With a dull thud, the tennis ball hit Shencheng's knee again mercilessly. This time, it was not only a physical impact, but also a heavy blow to Shencheng's will.

Shencheng's body shook violently, and then as if all his strength was drained away, he slowly fell to his knees, unable to stand up again.

His eyes were full of reluctance and helplessness.

"Game, Hyotei Akutsu, 1-0." The referee's voice echoed in the empty stadium, announcing the end of this round.

……

At this time, Aoi Hanamura was standing on the sidelines, her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if they had lost all color.

She knew very well that continuing to let the players play would only cause more damage, and this was not the result she wanted to see.

So, she made a difficult decision, walked towards the referee, and said in a low but firm voice: "Referee, we, Chengcheng Shonan, have chosen to forfeit both the second and first singles matches."

With the referee's announcement, the game seemed to have come to an end early.

……

Keigo Atobe stood in the center of the court, the sunlight shining on his slightly sweaty body. It was obvious that he was fully prepared for the upcoming game.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on him. The opponent actually gave up, leaving Atobe stunned. He obviously had not expected this to happen. (Kajimoto: Okay, okay, you really want to destroy me?)

While everyone was still talking, a figure slowly walked into the Hyotei camp. It was Aoi Hanamura. Her appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Before the match began, Aoi Hanamura made a bet with Hyotei in front of everyone. Now, the outcome of the bet has been revealed: she lost.

"I'm here to keep my promise." Although Huacun Aoi's voice was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone. Her eyes looked unusually empty at this moment.

This emptiness was not only because she lost the bet, but also because of the unspeakable pain and unwillingness deep in her heart.

She couldn't accept that she had to help the opponents who hurt her own team members train and watch them improve their strength step by step. (Tianyu: Don't think too much, you, can really help us improve our strength???)

Lying on a stretcher not far away, Kamishiro's eyes followed the figure of Aoi Hanamura closely.

Although his injuries were serious, the pain in his heart was far greater than that.

He knew very well that the root of all this was not the strength of the opponents, but their own incompetence.

It was them who failed to perform to their full potential in the game; it was them who put the coach in such a predicament.

Thinking of this, Taro Kamishiro felt a pain in his heart as if it were being cut by a knife.

However, pain and self-blame cannot change the facts that have already happened.

Taro Kamishiro could only pray silently, hoping that Aoi Hanamura could return to Shonan Jounari as soon as possible.

Although Aoi Hanamura was filled with resentment and pain, she also understood that as a coach, she had to shoulder her responsibilities and obligations.

……

Tianyu looked at the expressions of the two people, frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling annoyed and impatient.

He looked at Hanamura Aoi in front of him and said in a cold tone, "Coach Hanamura Aoi, I think you may have misunderstood something. We at Hyotei don't need a new coach, and Coach Sakaki is already very good. He is the most suitable candidate for our team."

Tianyu's voice was filled with a hint of disdain and provocation, and he didn't seem to be looking forward to Huacun Aoi's arrival.

He believed that Sakaki Taro, as Hyotei's current coach, was far superior to others in terms of experience and ability, and that this suddenly appearing Aoi Hanamura was no match for him.

"And you, to put it bluntly, are just a failed coach. Don't think too much. We just need someone to supervise our training. We don't have to have you. Don't take yourself too seriously!" Tianyu spoke again, without any sympathy for her.

His eyes were full of disdain and indifference, as if the person standing in front of him was not a beautiful woman, but an insignificant ant.

His voice was cold and ruthless, like a sharp sword, piercing the other person's heart.

Huacun Aoi naturally did not accept such a statement. She took a deep breath and was about to refute this sudden arrogant remark.

At this time, Keigo Atobe, the captain of the Hyotei Academy tennis club, finally couldn't hold back his emotions.

He frowned slightly, a slightly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

In his opinion, the woman in front of him seemed to have not yet fully understood her position and the significance of joining the Hyotei Tennis Club.

"That's enough, Aoi Hanamura." Atobe's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be carefully crafted, revealing unquestionable authority.

"Joining the team I personally lead is undoubtedly a supreme honor for you. You should be grateful, as this will be a significant turning point in your career. Our Hyotei Tennis Club will undoubtedly be unrivaled this year and claim the national championship. And you, as one of us, are, in a sense, benefiting from Hyotei's influence."

Huacun Aoi felt as if her heart was hit by a heavy hammer. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute Tianyu's sharp and direct accusation, but found herself as if bound by invisible shackles, and her words seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.

Although Tianyu's words were harsh, they were not groundless.

Chengcheng Shonan's recent performance is indeed not satisfactory. Every member of the team looks tired and confused. The fighting spirit and passion that once burned in their eyes seem to be gradually dissipating with day-to-day mechanical training.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her heart.

Tianyu's words not only undermined her confidence, but also made her begin to reflect on whether her training methods were really as he said, too rigid and lacking flexibility.

She admitted that she had always believed that through strict discipline and repetitive training, she could create an invincible team, but she ignored the fact that each team member was a unique individual. Blindly mechanical training would wipe out their infinite possibilities.

For a moment, Aoi Hanamura fell into deep thought.
