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

In front of the net, Keigo Atobe and Genichirō Sanada, as the president and vice president of their respective tennis clubs, shook hands before the match under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

At this moment, the air was filled with a tense and subtle atmosphere, as if even time had stood still.

Atobe Keigo, with his gorgeous posture, gently lifted his delicate chin, and his other hand casually brushed across the shining gray hair on his forehead.

The corners of his mouth curled up subtly, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of provocation and confidence. He spoke in a tone that bordered on tsundere, "Hey, Sanada, long time no see. But I'm a little curious, where's Yukimura? Why didn't he show up at such an important occasion? Could it be that he was afraid of our Hyotei's formidable strength and avoided the battle in advance?"

In the face of Atobe's verbal provocation, Sanada Genichirō was as calm as a rock. There was no fluctuation in his expression, as if no external interference could disturb his inner peace.

His eyes were firm and deep as he looked directly into Atobe's eyes. He replied in his steady and powerful voice, "Atobe, you seem to be overthinking it. Yukimura's absence certainly has his reasons, but this won't prevent us from winning at Rikkai University."

"As for the worry you mentioned, I think it's better to leave it to you. Today, we, the Rikkai Conference, will go all out to push your Hyotei into the abyss of defeat."

As these powerful words fell, the air seemed to be injected with an invisible force, and in an instant, the entire venue was shrouded in an even more intense atmosphere.

The air between the two teams seemed to freeze, and every slight breath was accompanied by an accelerated heartbeat, foreshadowing the upcoming fierce confrontation.

The players of Rikkai University have the confidence and composure in their eyes that comes from winning the championship for many years. It is a kind of calmness that has been precipitated after countless victories.

However, amidst this calmness, there is also a hint of vigilance and respect for the challenger, because they know very well that this year's Ice Emperor is no ordinary person.

On the other side, the members of Hyotei stood in an almost provocative posture, their eyes full of desire for victory.

Under the leadership of Atobe, this group of young people had already erased the word "fear" from their dictionary. They had only one thought in their minds - to pull the once-invincible Rikkai University down from the altar and use their own strength to prove that Hyotei was the real king.

The eyes of the players on both sides met, like two turbulent undercurrents colliding silently, and every eye contact seemed to create sparks.

The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder, indicating that this confrontation will be unprecedentedly fierce and exciting.

The audience's emotions were also infected by the tense atmosphere. They held their breath, looking forward to the upcoming peak showdown.

……

"Next will be the doubles match between Hyotei Gakuen and Rikkai University Affiliated Team 2. Ryo Shishido and Hocho Taro from Hyotei Gakuen VS Bunta Marui and Jackal Kuwabara from Rikkai University Affiliated Team." The referee's voice sounded.

In the opponent's appearance list, Yanagi Renji did not hear the name he expected. His brows were involuntarily furrowed tightly, as if he could catch a breeze of uneasiness.

In his memory bank, the doubles team of Hyotei Academy has always been Yuushi Ozaki and Taketo Mukai.

However, the list before him was like a disrupted puzzle, completely overturning his prediction.

Under his arrangement, Jackal Kuwabara and Marui Bunta underwent targeted training, and the probability of defeating Oshitari Yuushi and Mukai Taketo is very high.

But today, facing this sudden change in formation, even they may not be able to guarantee 100% victory.

After all, unknown opponents are always the most unpredictable, and their areas of expertise and characteristics of their playing style will become key factors in determining victory or defeat.

What makes Yanagi Renji even more uneasy is that this change is likely just part of the other party's overall strategy.

He knew very well that Hyotei Academy would never give up any game easily, nor would they arrange the order of appearances at random.

Therefore, he speculated that the opponent's subsequent lineup was also very likely to be unconventional, which would undoubtedly bring great challenges to Rikkai University's tactical deployment.

"Oh, I was so careless. I didn't expect that they would trick me." Liu Lianji sighed lightly, with a tone of self-blame and helplessness.

He knew very well that as the team's strategist, every judgment he made was crucial.

This mistake undoubtedly had a certain impact on the morale of the entire team.

However, at this moment, the steady and powerful voice of Sanada Genichirō reached his ears: "Don't worry, Renji. The game hasn't started yet, and anything is possible. Believe in Bunta and the others, and believe in the strength of our team."

Sanada's words were like a warm current that warmed Yanagi Renji's heart and helped him regain his confidence. He chose to believe in his teammates.

……

In the Hyotei camp, Coach Sakaki was standing on the sidelines, looking at Shishido Ryo and Hou Chotaro, who were about to play for Hyotei, with his deep and firm gaze.

"Shishido, Feng, what you are facing this time is not just an opponent on the tennis court, but also a touchstone of your own potential." Coach Sakaki's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate the hearts of everyone present.

"This Rikkai University has almost no weaknesses and is the strongest opponent you have ever encountered. You have not yet fully mastered Synchro. Remember, this is not just a match, but also a challenge to your use of Synchro. Do not underestimate the enemy."

Shishido Ryo lowered his head slightly upon hearing this, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding glint. Hochotaro, on the other hand, remained gentle as always, but his eyes also revealed an unprecedented firmness and determination.

The two responded in unison: "Yes, Coach, we will never underestimate the enemy!"

Coach Sakaki nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile on his face.

"Then take off your weights." Coach Sakaki said with a hint of determination.

"Facing a formidable foe like Rikkai University, we don't need to test ourselves or hold back. All we have to do is give it our all and demonstrate our true strength!"

As Coach Sakaki finished speaking, Shishido Ryo and Hou Chotaro quickly took action. They smiled at each other in tacit understanding, and then took off the weights on their bodies one by one.

At that moment, it seemed as if even the air became lighter, and they felt unprecedented ease and freedom.

At the same time, in the Rikkai University camp, Genichirō Sanada, the deputy minister known as the "Emperor", was watching Hyotei's every move.

He nodded slightly and gestured to Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara.

The two teammates immediately understood and took off the weights on their wrists without hesitation.

Both teams decided to give their all from the start and leave no regrets!
