The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

"One ball~~enters the soul!"

A lazy voice rang out.

A ball was suddenly thrown out, startling Nomura Takuya and Kindaichiro from St. Rudolf Academy.

"Fault!"

The referee coldly delivered his verdict.

St. Rudolph Academy's captain, Akazawa Yoshiro, watched the tennis ball whistling past with shame. Even though it was a service error, its astonishing power was still evident, leaving a very clear mark on the court.

"That was a terrifying serve."

Akazawa Yoshiro looked towards Hyotei.

However, those guys, who always looked up like an imperial legion, didn't seem very happy at the moment, even though they were leading 5-0.

Hyotei's manager, Shintaro, glanced at Chotaro's hands, which were wrapped in white bandages and were slowly turning red. He then turned his gaze to Hyotei's new captain, Natsume Tsukiya.

since,

That day, Natsume Tsuki also crushed and defeated Atobe, single-handedly defeating the entire Hyotei team.

They also used each person's signature techniques, and the entire Hyotei Palace was subtly transformed.

Chotaro Ootori was the most obvious example. This second-year student, who was not competitive to begin with, secretly practiced relentlessly until his hands were bloody and mangled.

It will only help you better control your signature powerful serve.

Shintaro never expected that Tsuki would possess such power.

If there really is an explanation, it's that they put silver carp into Hyotei's sardine colony.

Those who are arrogant cannot move forward without undergoing thorough reform.

In the past, Hyotei had repeatedly fought back despite defeats, yet they remained one of the top teams in the Kanto region, and their failures were not complete.

Especially for a general like Atobe, although his level is undoubtedly first-class, he cannot elevate himself to another level.

The main issue is that while his peers are more skilled than him, not by much. Whether it's Yukimura Seiichi, Tezuka Kunimitsu, or anyone else, none of them are enough to completely undermine Atobe's confidence. Therefore, his former signature skills remain the source and reliance of his self-confidence...

Now that Natsume Tsuki has redefined everything, Atobe should be able to make some changes.

Shintaro had high expectations for Atobe Keigo's transformation.

Chotaro Ootori forced the use of his powerful serve, a technique that should have been reserved for the Kanto Tournament.

The fact that he is now exposing himself to everyone with all his might proves that he has realized that only by abandoning his dependence can he create even more powerful moves.

Because they were focused on the national competition, they didn't care about their opponents and were able to play their best in this match.

Shintaro was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the entire Hyotei team at this moment. Only a team like this deserved to stand on the stage of the nation's number one team.

"Hyotei has actually made a service error."

As an outsider, Mamoru Inoue couldn't see this internal change. Chotaro Ootori served two balls, both ending in errors.

He was quite surprised:

"Hyotei, despite winning one match 6-2, is in such good form that it's hard to predict what will happen if they face this year's Seigaku or the reigning champion Rikkai... However, Hyotei seems to be even more imposing than before."

In the arena, Ryo Mido glanced at Chotaro Ootori's hand. If it were before, he would have adopted the posture of a senior and reprimanded him.

At this moment, he simply bent his waist silently, gripped the racket with both hands, and stared intently at the opponent with piercing eyes, like a lion ready to fight with all its might at any moment.

Only at this moment did he realize how complacent he had been in the past, always considering himself a powerful force in Kanto, underestimating every opponent he had ever defeated on the field, always thinking he was very strong, yet always losing to Rikkai.

The Battle of Fudomine and the Battle of Natsume Tsukiya completely shattered the once invincible Hyotei.

Just as Kippei Tachibana said, Hyotei needs to be rebuilt.

Every regular player on Hyotei's team is no worse than Fudomine, so they should be even stronger.

Chotaro Ootori relentlessly used his powerful serve, not only out of respect for his opponent and to give it his all, but more importantly, to push himself forward.

As Natsume Tsukiya said, Hyotei doesn't want a defeat that shocks everyone by hiding their skills; Hyotei wants a victory that requires going all out.

"Bang!"

A heavy explosion rang out in the stadium.

The two men who called him Saint Rudolf were completely dumbfounded by the sound.

I had absolutely no idea how to deal with such a high-speed serve to score.

"Match ended! Hyotei Academy wins, score 6-0!"

The referee declared.

This match between the two also spurred on Mukahi Gakuto.

After all, his combination with Kabaji Takahiro had allowed the opponent to score two points.

"hateful."

Guan Yuechu of St. Rudolf was a little nervous. "They actually took the lead? Or are these guys here specifically to defeat the resurrected troops? Do they want to defeat everyone and directly claim first place?"

Guan Yuechu recalled those teams that rose from the losers' bracket and rebuilt themselves. Which one of them didn't eventually win the championship by defeating many opponents?

If that's the case, then Atobe of Hyotei is truly a troublesome fellow...

Mizuki Hajime considers himself a resourceful and shrewd strategist, rehearsing various scenarios in his mind, including training Fuji Yuuta specifically to counter Tezuka Kunimitsu, the pillar of Seigaku. Now, seeing Hyotei's imposing presence, he's even starting to connect it to the legendary comeback story of a player who swept through multiple opponents to win the championship...

"Watching the moon!"

Fuji Yuuta stood before Kanatsuki with a grim face, his eyes glancing towards Hyotei, searching:

"Just who exactly is this Natsume Tsukiya?"

Stopping his fingertip from fiddling with his bangs, Kanzuki glanced at the sidelines and saw Natsume Tsuki standing in front of the Hyotei team, talking to them. Especially Ryo Mido and Chotaro Ootori, who had just finished their match, looked very respectful, which surprised Kanzuki.

"To be honest, I didn't expect the other side to send an unknown second-year student to play singles third."

The intelligence information from the beginning of the month had not been updated. In his mind, there could only be one captain at Hyotei, and that was Atobe Keigo. So he said according to his own thoughts:

"No matter who he is, you must defeat him, understand, Yuta? The first stop of the St. Rudolph National Tournament is on your shoulders."

"snort."

Fuji Yuta said disdainfully:

"I thought I would be facing Atobe Keigo."

Guan Yuechu said with full confidence:

"Yuta, you don't understand. Atobe Keigo has always been Hyotei's number one singles player. That's why that second-year student said he wanted to aim for the number one singles title."

"Mitsuki, even so, you should at least send one of your regular players to fight me."

Fuji Yuuta said with a hint of insult:

"Sending such a person to compete is clearly a sign of disrespect for St. Rudolf."

"Are you saying this guy isn't good enough for you to beat?"

Guan Yuechu twisted her hair and said:

"Then you can beat him in fifteen minutes!"

"I will!" Fuji Yuta frowned.
