Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

Ryoma silently turned his back to Atobe, looking as if he didn't recognize him.

"My sister has terrible taste."

Ryoma rolled his eyes.

On the big screen directly opposite Longma, the match between Spain and the United States was being broadcast.

Chico, the second singles player, replaced Long Ya.

Longma put down the soda in his hand and watched the game attentively.

Chico's battle against Spain was not going well.

His face was already covered in sweat, and his skillful ball skills were completely seen through by his opponent.

Chico no longer has the ease he had in the last match against Switzerland.

During the half-time break, there was no trace of the usual cheerful mood.

Ryoma crossed his arms, frowning slightly. "What's wrong with this guy? He's so messed up." Atobe walked over to Ryoma and also looked at the screen. "It seems that Team America is in trouble this time." Ryoma didn't respond to Atobe, but just stared at Chico.

As the second half began, Chico seemed like a completely different person, his eyes becoming incredibly determined. During the first-half break, he'd recalled some of the unique playstyles Long Ya had taught him. Chico began to employ a flurry of unusual moves, catching the Spanish team off guard. Long Ma's lips curled slightly, "That's more like it."

As the match intensified, Chico's energy began to wane, but he persevered with unwavering willpower. On the crucial last possession, Chico unleashed a powerful, spinning shot. The opposing player's desperate return only sent the ball sailing out of bounds. The American team won the hard-fought match. Chico collapsed to the ground, a broad smile on his face. Ryoma took a sip of his soda, muttering, "Not bad," before turning and leaving. Atobe glanced at Ryoma's back, then glanced at the screen, then followed him out of the arena.

After Longma left the court, he received a call from his sister. "Did you really watch the game, kid?" Longma replied impatiently, "Yes." His sister excitedly gushed about Chico's performance, and as Longma listened, his thoughts drifted back to the time he played basketball with Longya. Back then, Longya would always pull off unexpected and unusual moves, and Chico must have been influenced by Longya.

Atobe, on the other hand, had received a message from home and needed to go back to take care of some matters. He looked at the direction where Ryoma left, thinking that this seemingly indifferent boy actually had a pure love for tennis.

A few days later, Long Ma returned to his regular training, and his coach was delighted to see him in better shape than before. Chico's position on the US team was further solidified by that impressive performance. He messaged Long Ya to share his joy, and Long Ya replied, urging him to keep working hard, saying they might become a formidable opponent the next time they meet. Chico smiled at the message, his spirit brimming with fighting spirit, anticipating the next opportunity to showcase his even greater prowess on the court.

The days passed, and the competition arrived again. This time, Ryoma's Japanese team and Chico's American team successfully met in the finals. During pre-match warm-ups, Ryoma and Chico stared at each other from afar, the fire of war burning in each other's eyes.

The match began with a back-and-forth, the score close. Ryoma's technique matured, and Chico was no less impressive, unleashing a variety of unusual moves. The audience was thrilled.

By the time the final set came, both players were exhausted. But neither would give up, giving their all on every shot. Long Ma recalled his promise to Long Ya to reach the pinnacle of tennis; Chi Ke, mindful of Long Ya's teachings, vowed never to give up.

On the last possession, Ryoma sent a super-fast inside corner kick, but Chico flew to the basket, but unfortunately he couldn't catch it. Japan won.

After the match, Longma and Chiko shook hands and expressed their mutual respect. Longma knew that more challenges awaited him in the future, and Chiko was determined to return to training and defeat Longma next time. Thus, the competition came to a close, and each competitor embarked on a new journey with their gains.

A few months later, an international youth tennis exchange program began, bringing together elite players from around the world. Both Longma and Chico were invited to participate. The event featured many fun tennis events and exchanges between top players.

During one of the impromptu one-on-one matches, Ryoma encountered a mysterious French player. This player's elegant yet deceptive style of play was initially difficult for Ryoma to adapt to. Meanwhile, Chico was battling a German player with incredible strength, but Chico deftly used his agile positioning to defuse the situation.

Ryoma gradually figured out the French player's tactics and began to counterattack. His powerful shots and swift movements overwhelmed the French player. Ultimately, Ryoma emerged victorious. Meanwhile, Chico defeated the German player with his unique technique.

After the event, Longma and Chico ran into each other by chance. They exchanged a smile, and without further ado, they both understood each other's unwavering dedication to tennis. They knew that every match, whether in a formal tournament or through these exchanges, was an opportunity for growth, and they were both constantly striving towards higher levels of tennis.

Time passes, and a new global tennis tournament is about to begin. Top players from every country are gearing up to compete, including Ryoma and Chico.

The rules of this competition have been innovated, with an added element of teamwork. Both Ryoma's Japanese team and Chico's American team face new challenges and opportunities.

During the preparation period, Longma adjusted his training methods to the new rules, focusing on improving his coordination with his teammates. Chico also actively worked with his teammates to refine their tactics.

On the day of the match, the atmosphere was incredibly lively. The two teams had fought their way through the group stage, finally meeting in the semifinals.

During the match, both teams displayed their exceptional skills. The scoreline soared, and the battle was intense. At a crucial moment, Ryoma and his teammates displayed excellent coordination, securing the crucial game. However, the American team, not to be outdone, quickly equalized.

In the decisive moment, Ryoma and Chico took the court simultaneously. They gave their all, each shot embodying countless sweat and faith. In the end, Ryoma narrowly defeated Chico, and the Japanese team advanced to the finals.

Although Chico was a little depressed after losing the game, he quickly cheered up and encouraged Longma to win the final. Longma nodded and walked towards the final battlefield with everyone's expectations.

In the final, Long Ma faced a strong team from Australia. The Australian players were all very strong, especially their number one singles player, who served at an extremely fast speed and with tricky angles.

After the game started, the Japanese team felt
