The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 101 Well done, Squirtle! 13 monthly tickets, guaranteed at the end of the month, right?

Natsume Tsuki shrugged. He didn't want to either, but the decision-making power fell into his hands. The Atobe family was the sponsor of this tournament, and he was the captain of Hyotei.

Why did Akutsu have to save Niizuma Hokan?

It doesn't matter who it's given to, Yamabuki isn't bad either.

What can others say?

Each group returned to its respective base.

The members of Natsume's group started pulling out chairs with a clatter.

"No need for everyone to bother."

Natsume Tsuki also spoke up: "This competition only has eight people, seven plus one substitute player. We have dozens of people here, so it's really not easy to select suitable people."

Everyone had one thought in their mind: to get on the field.

Another thought crossed my mind: how would Natsume Tsuki train everyone?

"Everyone, get to the stadium."

Natsume Tsuki also gave the order.

The other two coaches also gave instructions to their players. Ryuzaki Sumire was to practice on her own first to get used to it, while Hanamura Aoi asked all the players to go to the playground for a match.

Of course, before the match, Hanamura Aoi asked everyone to fill out information and gather data. As a coach, she also made sure to improve her training system.

"Come on, everyone stand in line with me."

Natsume Tsukiya was also standing at the front. He turned his head and said, "Everyone is behind me, about a meter apart."

The crowd was puzzled and looked at each other with suspicion.

However, they all obediently started moving around.

"Come on, do as I do."

Natsume Tsuki also assumed a horse stance.

"Hey, Coach, what are you doing?" Reiji Kamishiro showed resistance.

Natsume Tsuki also said, "What is this place? It's a training camp, of course. The training camp brings everyone together to train, but I don't think it should just be about gathering everyone together and having a few matches. Since I'm the coach of this group, I naturally hope to live up to this responsibility and teach everyone something real."

"The real thing?"

The team members looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

"The real thing?"

Kanzuki's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought to himself, "It's true that Hyotei has always been very strong, but this year is different. And Hyotei's transformation is also related to Natsume Tsuki. He said he wanted to teach some real skills. So, does that mean I can also learn what Hyotei has learned?"

While the others looked puzzled, Inui Sadaharu and Kanzuki had different thoughts.

Outside the fence, when Tachibana An heard these words, she immediately thought of what happened in Kumamoto.

When Chitose Senri and Natsume Tsukiya were playing against each other, Natsume Tsukiya said that he could bestow his skills upon his opponent...

Ju Xing looked to the other side, at her older brother. If he could be in this group, he might be able to learn a lot.

She herself didn't realize that at some point, her brother's position had been taken over by Natsume Tsuki.

Immediately afterwards, everyone chattered on and on, and started doing some inexplicable things with Natsume Tsuki.

Yes, half an hour later.

Some people started complaining, and Ruo Renhong immediately retorted with a stern face, "What's going on? You, as the coach, bring this to our training camp?"

Offstage, Tachibana An was also puzzled, thinking to herself, "Tsukiya-nii, what are you doing? Why are you making everyone do this gesture?"

Soon, everyone from the Ryuzaki Group came running over, drawn by the attention.

Ryoma Echizen, Eiji Kikumaru, and others stood outside the fence.

Kikumaru Eiji said, "Wow, this looks like a lot of fun."

Ryoma Echizen: "Kikumaru-senpai, what's so fun about this?"

Eiji Kikumaru chuckled and said, "Little one, don't be so rigid. They seem quite relaxed, but what exactly are they doing?"

Ryoma Echizen: "I have absolutely no idea."

The people in the arena also stopped what they were doing; in their view, it was all pointless.

"This is a mistake."

Kisarazu Ryo said, "Doing this kind of thing."

Momoshiro Takeshi, who arrived later, asked, "Hey, Eiji-senpai, what are you guys doing?"

Kikumaru Eiji then imitated a movement, spreading his legs apart and mimicking Natsume Tsukiya's previous actions, performing a set of Tai Chi movements.

"I am the coach. If anyone disobeys, they can leave immediately."

As soon as Natsume Tsukiya said this, the doubts quickly subsided.

Next, the only thing to do on the entire court was to practice Tai Chi.

Although it was inexplicable, everyone had no choice but to follow suit.

Members from other groups would occasionally come over to take a look.

They all squinted, looking puzzled.

One day, two days, three days~

I practice Tai Chi every day.

Some people are feeling irritable.

Especially Ruo Renhong.

His face was always clouded with doubt.

However, Akutsu, Mizuki, Inui Sadaharu, and the others beside him remained calm, their eyes peacefully closed, behaving in a very professional manner.

Also, off the court, every day, the guys from Hyotei would always take advantage of the breaks to come over and do it from the sidelines.

Sometimes they even come over during training time.

This surprised both Hanamura Aoi and Ryuzaki Sumire.

"Coach Ryuzaki."

"Coach Huacun".

"Can you understand what our Natsume is doing?" Hanamura Aoi wondered.

"I don't understand it at all."

Ryuzaki Sumire wasn't being polite; her tone clearly showed her disapproval of Natsume Tsukiya's behavior.

"But we can't really say anything, can we?" Hanamura Aoi said.

She walked over, put one hand on her hip, and said, "You guys, at least give me some face. This is my training time."

The Hyotei team scratched their heads and said, "We're used to it. We're sorry, Coach Hanamura."

Renji Yanagi: "Sadaharu, do you think this counts as intensive training?"

Inui Sadaharu was also puzzled. He wasn't sure, but he didn't doubt Natsume Tsukiya either, and said, "I guess so."

Renji Yanagi said, "I think he just wants us to lose to the American team."

Akutsu suddenly opened his eyes.

Off the field, however, Ryo Mido voiced his indignation: "Our captain is not that kind of person."

"Exactly, you don't understand our minister at all."

"You don't deserve to be in Natsume's group. Switch with me right now."

This put Liu Lian'er in an awkward position. She hadn't expected those guys to say such a thing. Could there really be some hidden story behind it?

'

Another day has passed.

"Alright, let's begin our formal practice today."

Once everyone was in a certain mood, Natsume Tsukiya leaned on a tennis racket and said something.

"practise?"

"Why do we need to practice now?"

"Are we finally starting to practice?"

"They've fallen behind the other groups, haven't they?"

Eiji Kikumaru: "Is this alright for them?"

Takeshi Momoshiro: "Actually, we're not much better off. Coach Ryuzaki is hospitalized, and now, all we're free to do is fight."

Shinji Ibu: "But speaking of which, it's really puzzling why Coach Ryuzaki was hospitalized after discussing the last two spots. Why can each coach only designate two players, and everyone has to compete for the last spot and the substitutes? That's a cruel rule, isn't it?"

Akira Kamio: "It's probably because Natsume is both a player and a coach. He can't just designate himself to take up a spot on the team, right?!"

Eiji Kikumaru: "That makes a lot of sense."

"But how will they practice?" Momoshiro Takeshi said. "If it's for the last spot, I won't lose."

If Natsume Tsukiya's group had simply done a few minutes of Tai Chi warm-up, the other groups wouldn't have been so curious.

The main problem is that his group hasn't even been inside the court these past few days. At most, they've just been holding rackets or tennis balls, practicing Tai Chi all day long, which is hard not to find strange.

Upon hearing that they would be practicing today, everyone's hearts skipped a beat. It turned out that Natsume Tsuki wasn't just there to have fun with them after all.

Does he really have other motives?

Everyone was filled with doubts.

"Come on, everyone, let's get moving!"

Natsume Tsukiya, holding a racket on one side of the court, shouted, "One ball for everyone, don't stop!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and hurled the ball out.

While many people were still confused, suddenly, a figure flashed and slapped out with both hands.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the ball was sent back.

"That's amazing!"

"Akuzu, it's Akutsu!"

"His speed and reaction time are top-notch."

Akutsu suddenly entered the field, hit the ball back with lightning speed, and immediately flashed to the side, following Natsume Tsukiya's gesture to go around to the other side.

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsuki immediately hit Akutsu's return shot into the court.

"Is that Agan?" Kikumaru Eiji immediately recognized the figure.

Inui Sadaharu has been one of the quietest people these days. According to Natsume Tsukiya, he can now feel the whistling ball even with his eyes closed, and move with lightning speed, as if searching for a dragon.

"Bang!"

After returning the ball, he immediately dodged to the side.

Kaidou Kaoru, standing off the field, was momentarily surprised: "Senior Inui..."

Then, one after another, the entire stadium began to cycle through them.

"Oh, I didn't know such a thing existed."

When Hanamura Aoi noticed that her group of students had disappeared, she habitually walked over, only to witness a shocking scene.

"But."

Ryuki Sakuno, carrying a green notebook, followed beside Hanamura Aoi, and asked in confusion, "Why is that..."

'

Her eyes were fixed on Ruoren Hong.

Hanamura Aoi followed her gaze and saw a rapidly spinning circle; Natsume Tsukiya's return speed was like that of a ball machine.

However, Ruo Renhong, clenching his teeth and showing a look of struggle and pain on his face, had been going through many rounds, but he still couldn't cut in line.

This was something that Hanamura Aoi and the others found very difficult to understand.

Huacun Kui murmured, "Given Wakato's speed, it's impossible for him to fall behind completely."

"Hmm?" Ryuki Sakuno tilted her head.

"What happened?" Hanamura Aoi asked with concern.

"Oh, that guy."

Ryo Mido, standing next to Aoi Hanamura, took over the question, saying, "You're always overthinking things and questioning our captain during practice. Now you can't keep up, can you?"

"You mean?"

Huacun Aoi suddenly turned her head, her pupils filled with shock, and said, "Is it because you weren't paying attention before that you can't keep up?"

"Of course, our minister doesn't have the time to waste here with them."

Ryo Mido shrugged and said casually, "If Coach Shin hadn't suddenly had something come up and hadn't strongly recommended our captain, he wouldn't have become a coach, and he wouldn't have even participated in the training camp."

The text mentions that Shintaro strongly recommended it, and Hanamura Aoi believes this to be true; Shintaro mentioned this on the phone.

"But they haven't done anything all these days!"

Ryuki Sakuno couldn't help but look up and ask.

"According to our minister, that's called tranquility."

Ryo Mido continued, "It's about feeling the flow of energy on the court. At first, you don't hold anything; you just stir the air around you with your hands. Then, you hold the ball in both palms, toss it up, close your eyes, and feel it. After that, you gently swing the racket to feel it. It's through that method that even someone with limited skill can judge their opponent's shot by observing the airflow..."

Ryo Mido said a lot.

Huacun Kui was deeply moved by what she heard.

Is that really the case?

Momoshiro Takeshi, who had been standing beside him without his knowledge, asked in surprise.

"Doesn't the scene already speak for itself?" Ryo Mido didn't reply.

"Damn it, why did this happen?"

After trying for a while, Hiroshi suddenly jumped into the court, but he couldn't touch the tennis ball at all. Instead, he was replaced by Kanzuki, who was weaker than him.

He was extremely indignant and confused: "We haven't done anything these past few days, so why, why are they all..."

Everything that happened on the scene was observed by each team member.

Liu Lian'er glanced at it, her mind racing: "I don't know why, but it has this effect. At first, I was really dismissive, thinking it was just a charade. But gradually, when I meditated on the night sky in private, I felt a tranquility I had never experienced before, pure and clear like the starry sky. When I practiced with him in this place, I unconsciously forgot everything, and time passed very quickly."

Inui Sadaharu: "Natsume Tsukiya, the tranquility I felt before turned into an itchy fighting desire the moment I started fighting him. This is something I've never experienced before. Although I don't know why, this kind of progress that I can feel is really fascinating..."

Deep within everyone's heart lies a touch of purity.

Except for Ruo Renhong.

He felt only confusion and anxiety.

This spinning continued for a whole day.

Its strength is unimaginable.

"Hey, how come they can go all day without stopping?" Kikumaru Eiji was very puzzled.

Takeshi Momoshiro: "Yeah, yeah, it's been a whole day, how could this happen? Even a viper with great stamina couldn't withstand it."

It continued until evening.

After dinner and a shower.

"How could that be?"

Everyone's nerves seemed to flicker suddenly.

Kikumaru Eiji asked in confusion, "Inui, wanna have a pillow fight?"

Inui Sadaharu: "I... I just want to sleep."

Inui Sadaharu entered the room, collapsed onto the floor, and soon began snoring.

Anyone who has been practicing during the day will feel sore all over, extremely tired, and just want to sleep. They will fall asleep as soon as they lie down, without any other consciousness.

Of course, there was one person among them.

The students were all bewildered when they saw the Natsume group suddenly fall asleep.

Kamio Akira stared intently at Wakato Hiroshi: "Why are you different from the others?"
