Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

"It hasn't been that way for a long time, since he competed with you and was tamed by you. But his intuition has always been good. He's willing to listen to your opinions, which shows that he respects you very much. Please take him to a bigger stage."

"Hahaha, it's good enough that he doesn't call me an old man. Anything he calls me is fine."

Ban Lao doesn't care what others call him.

Moreover, Ban Lao didn't believe that Nanjiro would call him like that. He would call him a stinky old man to his face.

A bigger stage?

Nationals? Or...

"The game is over. Hyotei Akutsu wins! The score is 6-0."

The referee announced the result.

Qianshi looked helpless and shrugged helplessly.

"Akujin, we were teammates before, and you showed me no mercy at all. I'm really defeated by you."

"Hmph, if you're not good at it, just practice more."

After saying this, Akutsu left the field. He didn't seem to have anything to say about his previous school coach.

Even the person who brought him into this tennis world and developed him.

I played tennis for a while when I was a kid, but gave up because it was too boring without an opponent. It wasn't until I was discovered by my partner two months before a junior high school competition.

Such a good seedling was finally snatched away by Long Ge. I’m really sorry, Mr. Ban.

"The game is over! Hyotei wins 5-0. Congratulations on advancing to the semifinals!"

"Thank you for accompanying me, Coach. See you next year. This year, please watch us win the championship."

In Ban Lao's opinion, Long Ge is just a little girl who boasts a lot and has only a few minor skills.

But now it seems that the current Ice Emperor has risen to more than one level compared to before.

The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front away. It's really a terrifying up-and-coming star.

Dealing with Yamabuki was much easier than Ryuka had imagined, and he successfully entered the semi-finals. The rest were Seigaku, Shitenhoji and Rikkai University!

"Congratulations, Atobe and Ryuka, for making it to the finals."

The people who came were the president and vice president of Rikkai University, Yukimura and Sanada.

"Oh, it's Yukimura. Your surgery looks successful."

Atobe knew about Yukimura's surgery and also knew that he had a good relationship with Long Ge.

Yukimura's surgery was very successful, but he seems to have not played in any competition since the national competition. Whether he is recuperating or... it is unknown.

"Yukimura, your presence here proves that you have fully recovered from your illness. I've been too busy recently and haven't been able to visit you again. I'm really sorry."

Long Ge was sincerely happy for him that he could recover to his current state in such a short time, which showed his amazing recovery ability.

Before the youth selection, Long Ge visited her several times, but after that, because he was preparing for the youth selection and the subsequent national competition, he visited her less and less frequently.

But seeing Yukimura here proves that there is no problem with him. No matter what the reason is for his absence, as a two-time champion, we must pay special attention to him.

"Don't worry about it. Thanks to you and Sanada and the others' guidance during that time, I was able to stand here smoothly. I hope we won't have any regrets in our future competitions. There can only be one champion in this competition."

"That's right, we can't be careless. Long Ge still has our unfinished game, and I'm looking forward to it."

The two men turned and left after saying these words as if they were declaring war.

"OK…"

Long Ge looked like he was worried about something.

What unfinished game? What did Long Ge do without telling them?

"But... what a shame, I'm not a contestant and can't participate... Let's go back and prepare for a tough battle!"

Although Long Ge spoke softly, everyone could hear what he said because they were so close.

She should be more eager than them, wanting to compete.

Seeing through Long Ge's thoughts, Tebe said, "Let's go back. There are plenty of opportunities for the competition to continue."

Facing the upcoming battle against Shitenbo Temple, Long Ge was still a little confused. She had no idea about this team, and she only had experience fighting against other schools.
