The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 105

"Senior~!!"

At the entrance of the youth selection training camp, an extra-long Maybach foghorn attracted everyone's attention.

A tall, beautiful girl popped out of the car door, her face beaming with a bright smile, her eyes crinkling into crescents, and waved to the teenagers.

Many people blushed.

"Hey, you guys, they're not here to pick you up, what are you blushing for?"

"No, not at all."

"I really envy that guy."

"Hey, Atobe, why didn't you have your butler send a car to pick you up?" Yuushi Oshitari asked.

Atobe Keigo chuckled coldly and snapped his fingers into the air, and a Bentley appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Hyotei members were dumbfounded: "Hey, Atobe, when did you become like this?"

"Yeah, they actually had their butler send a luxury car over. That's quite rare."

"Oh dear, really."

Keigo Atobe rarely uses luxury cars to show off his family's wealth, because he simply doesn't need them. Luxury cars are nothing to brag about in his home.

However, this time is clearly different.

He had already received a call from the butler saying that his new wife's family had already set off in a luxury car, so he asked the butler to send one over as well.

However, the feeling does seem to be different.

As Natsume Tsukiga waved to Niizuma Takara, Tachibana An, who had been jogging, slowed down.

The girl across from me was tall and slender, wearing sneakers and showing off her long, bare legs in a miniskirt.

A high ponytail, and a luxury car in the background....

In contrast, Ju Xing only had a bouquet of flowers picked from the bushes in the backyard of the training camp...

It's not presentable!

Tachibana An sighed, and seeing her brother not far away, Hana seemed to have found her place, so she walked towards Tachibana Kippei.

"Hey, Minister, it's not very loyal of you not to include us, is it?" the Hyotei members teased.

New Wife Baoguan: "Next time, next time!"

"Huh?!" Everyone was dejected.

Luxury cars drove out smoothly.

"Damn it, I'm so unwilling to accept this."

Sitting on the bus, Guan Yuechu pouted and said, "She's my type."

"Well then, the next time we meet everyone will be on the day of the competition."

Kunimitsu Teya said, "Everyone, don't relax your practice when you get back."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The Seigaku members cheered.

Ryoma Echizen was extremely depressed.

Leaving aside the fact that we didn't make the national team, I thought I was different from others, but unexpectedly, we lost to Natsume Tsukiya by two goals.

He left alone with his tennis bag without even saying goodbye.

After Akutsu came out, he heard that Yamabuki Middle School had been dealt with badly by Kevin Smith, so he went out to look for it.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Ryoma Echizen, who was facing off against Kevin Smith, along with the Seigaku team at the street tennis court.

"Echizen, go back here."

"Tezuka Kunimitsu shouted."

"I don't."

Ryoma Echizen raised his hand and hit the ball, but he missed.

This surprised even himself.

He was about to change his racket when Tezuka slapped him across the face and said, "Is this how you're supposed to become a pillar of Seigaku?"

Ryoma Echizen was completely stunned.

While Kevin Smith was completely bewildered, he asked, "Ryoma Echizen, what did you mean when you said you wouldn't play?"

At this moment, Echizen Ryoma was quite surprised that Tezuka Kunimitsu would hit him, and his mind cleared up considerably.

Then he was pulled away by the Seigaku members.

"Hey, Ryoma Echizen?"

Kevin Smith's anger was evident on his face: "What do you mean you can't play? I came all this way just to beat you, you bastard."

"6

'

Kevin Smith noticed Akutsu, who had just made those threats, and said, "You want to avenge your strongmen, right? Then come on, I'll make sure you're thoroughly crushed."

"You brat, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Akutsu is ready to leave the field.

From the entrance, a voice called out breathlessly, "Akuzu-senpai, Akutsu-senpai?"

Akutsu turned his head and saw that it was Tan Taichi, who was wearing a green headband.

"Akuzu-senpai."

He ran and shouted.

"What are you doing?" Akutsu stopped and turned to ask.

Tan Taichi stopped, panting, and said, "Akuzu-senpai... Natsume, Natsume Tsukiya said you shouldn't compete against the West Coast team in private."

"Does that guy even have to get involved in something like this?" Akutsu said.

Tantai glanced at Kevin Smith and said, "Natsume Tsuki also said that this kind of guy should be saved for later and beaten up in front of everyone to vent our anger. By the way, Hyotei's Akutagawa Jiro was also beaten up by this guy."

Akutsu put away his racket, turned to Kevin Smith, and said, "You got off easy!"

"Who is Natsume Tsukiya?"

Kevin Smith was disdainful. He only heard Natsume Tsukiya and wondered what kind of strength this person had.

"Natsume Tsuki is also the captain of Hyotei, and the one who just defeated Echizen Ryoma," Tan Taichi said.

"What?"

Kevin Smith frowned: "Echizen Ryoma was defeated?"

The information he received was that Ryoma Echizen had not suffered a defeat since returning to Japan.

"Don't waste your breath on him."

Akutsu turned around and said.

"It's Akutsu-senpai." Tan Taichi obediently followed Akutsu and left the street tennis court.

"Hey, explain yourself clearly, who is Natsume Tsuki?"

"Kevin Smith shouted."

But the two of them completely ignored them.

"Natsume Tsukiya defeated Echizen Ryoma?"

Kevin Smith pondered, "Then if I defeat Natsume Tsukiya, wouldn't that be the same as defeating Echizen Ryoma?"

His eyes lit up instantly.

He quickly obtained all the information about Natsume Tsukiya.

Kevin Smith has watched all of Ryoma Echizen's match videos, but Ryoma Echizen has never publicly fought Natsume Tsukiya, so Kevin Smith doesn't know about Natsume Tsukiya.

After watching Natsume Tsukiya's video, he became even more interested in defeating Natsume Tsukiya.

Ryoma Echizen was very unhappy.

The fact that they were not selected for the national team surprised both Echizen Nanjiro and Echizen Nanako.

Finally, after struggling, Ryoma Echizen found Kunimitsu Teya and obtained the last substitute spot.

"Congratulations, Echizen, on joining the selection team."

Kikumaru Eiji said.

"He's just a substitute; he might not even get a chance to play."

"Echizen Ryoma said."

Takeshi Momoshiro: "The substitutes are all very good; we don't even have a chance to have substitutes."

Ryoma Echizen was pleased, at least he had corrected his mindset.

"Kevin and Billy have been in Tokyo for so long, and they're still absent."

In an office, Richard Baker, an agent dressed in a suit, was giving a speech: "Don't forget, today's event is crucial to each of your futures. It's your first performance, so you must give your sponsors the best possible confidence. Otherwise, it will affect your huge budget. Every move you make could cause your investors to lose confidence. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Boss!"

"Clatter!"

The door was pushed open, and Shiba Saori gracefully leaned over the doorway.

"Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm not a busybody. I'm Saori Shiba from a professional monthly magazine. I'd like to do an exclusive interview with you. Is that alright?"

'

"I see. Is this price acceptable?" Richard pulled out his calculator and showed it to Shisaori.

The two of them pulled and tugged at each other for a while.

Saori Shiba was kicked out the door, and Richard said, "Don't worry, the minute and thirty-one seconds you spoke to me just now are a free gift from me as a charity act, no charge!"

Click, the door closed.

Shiba Saori was stunned for a moment. "That man, how awful."

She pouted, thinking to herself, "Just like that brat Natsume said, this guy really seems to be holding this competition for publicity. But how does that brat know so much? He even suggested I write a report speculating on the West Coast team's true intentions? That way, I can get a promotion and a higher salary... I certainly want the higher salary, but this is too outrageous! What if it's fake?"

Although no action has been taken yet, my heart is wavering.

"Inoue-senpai has heard about that guy many times, and even the president has become more polite to him."

Shiba Saori walked outside, pondering as she went: "Maybe I should listen to him this once..."

As she thought about it, her mind wandered, and she immediately blushed, inwardly cursing, "That despicable guy! He actually said I'm small! How awful! He even said he'd consider it if it weren't for my size! How awful, how awful!"

"Where have you been? The press conference has started," Mamoru Inoue asked.

As Shiba Saori sat down, she saw the shrewd businessman walk out with a microphone.

Shisa was still preoccupied with the size issue and didn't pay any attention to what was being said.

"The Shotgun Boy - Billy Cassie!"

"Fire Red Dragon - Mike Lee!"

"Beautiful warriors—Tom Griffith, Terry Griffith!"

"The Steel Scorpion—Arnold Ignischuv!"

"Beast Bulldozer—Bobby Marx!"

"Finally, the proud warrior—Kevin Smith!"

The zhisha weaving machine takes photos.

The reporters then asked a variety of questions.

Inoue Mamoru stood up, holding the list in his hand, and asked, "Well then, I'd like to ask Kevin Smith a question. Because of your father's relationship with Echizen Nanjiro, you're very likely to face Echizen Ryoma in this match. Could you share your feelings about this match?"

"What?"

Kevin Smith exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't Ryoma Echizen not participating in this tournament?"

"what?"

Inoue Mamoru was surprised for a moment, looked at the list in his hand, and said, "But this list shows that Echizen Ryoma has already been listed as a candidate for the selection tournament!"

"What?"

Kevin Smith exclaimed in surprise, "Is this really true?"

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, that's roughly it."

Inoue Mamoru answered.

Kevin Smith took the microphone and gave a cold laugh: "Very good, Ryoma Echizen, it's good that you can participate in the competition."

Inoue Mamoru then asked, "So, you really did come for Echizen Ryoma, right?"

"No."

Kevin Smith said, "It's good that Echizen Ryoma can fight, but I just heard that Echizen Ryoma lost to a guy named Natsume Tsukiya at the youth training camp!"

All the middle school students in front of the screen were instantly thrown into a frenzy.

"No way, Ryoma Echizen will lose?"

"I don't believe it! Ryoma Echizen, the one who can hit a topspin serve, he's my idol! How could he lose?"

"Where did that guy hear about that stuff?"

"Oh, something else happened at the youth training camp that we didn't know about."

"Unexpectedly, Seigaku has lost even their last bit of face."

"Isn't Tezuka the face of Seigaku?"

Everyone turned to the screen.

Kevin Smith continued, "Echizen Ryoma, since you've lost to someone else, then I'll defeat that guy named Natsume Tsukiya for you, and then we'll face off again. I, Kevin Smith, will crush that guy named Natsume Tsukiya in front of all the spectators..."

Richard Baker frowned, thinking to himself, "Who is this Natsume Tsukiya? Could we use him to create some hype?"

All he sees is profit.

The reaction was different at Seigaku.

Kikumaru Eiji said angrily, "What on earth is that guy saying?"

Takeshi Momoshiro: "What he meant was, if Echizen can't defeat someone, he'll defeat them, right?!"

Inui Sadaharu: "Echizen is a substitute, as we all know. Whether a substitute can play depends entirely on whether unforeseen circumstances occur during the match. Kevin must have considered this, so he still really wants to play against Echizen. If they can't play together, he'll try to provoke Echizen by defeating Natsume Tsukiya. That's about it!"

Ryoma Echizen frowned, his desire to play was very strong.

Rikkai University.

What do you think of Kevin?

Yukimura Seiichi was still wearing a hospital gown, but he looked much better.

Genichiro Sanada: "He almost swept through the entire Kanto region, defeating many people. Apart from those who entered the training camp, he defeated everyone who was in school."

"Including jackals," Yukimura Seiichi added.

"They're too complacent," said Genichiro Sanada.

Yukimura Seiichi: "So, who do you think will win, Natsume Tsukiya or Kevin?"

Genichiro Sanada frowned: "Tsukiya Natsume has a better chance of winning."

"So, Kirihara will never be able to play tennis again, right?"

The soft-looking son of God, though physically weak, had a sharp glint in his eyes.

"It was my fault for not being able to stop him." Genichiro Sanada lowered his head.

It was confirmed that Kirihara Akaya could no longer hold the racket.

Yukimura Seiichi said, "Genichiro, since the Kanto Tournament, you've been making more and more excuses!"

Genichiro Sanada froze on the spot.

Yukimura Seiichi: "The shame of the Kanto Tournament must be washed away in the National Tournament."

"Yes!" Genichiro Sanada had no choice but to lower his head.

After a massive publicity campaign, everyone's attention was focused on this youth showdown, which Richard described as even more exciting than last year's.

"Hurry, hurry!"

Satoshi Horio shouted, "Hey seniors, hurry up!"

Momoshiro Takeshi, with one hand in his pocket, said, "Hey, hey, hey, first-years, what are you guys so nervous about? It's okay to be late for the opening ceremony, the important thing is the competition."

Katsuro Kato: "But senpai, Jelly Bean has to participate in the opening performance."

"Jelly Beans is a super idol group, you know," Satoshi Horio said hastily.

Momoshiro Takeshi's ears twitched, and he immediately stepped forward: "What are we waiting for? Hurry up and follow!"
