The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

"Atobe, it looks like nobody thinks you can win."

Natsume Tsuki didn't let Atobe Keigo off the hook either. Hearing the cacophony of questions, he immediately made his point clear.

"Hmph, whoever doesn't believe in me, go tell my racket, huh, Kabaji!"

Atobe Keigo raised the racket in his hand; the scratches on it said it all. Atobe Keigo was more than just an arrogant nobleman.

"yes!"

Kabaji Takahiro remained as taciturn as ever, like Atobe Keigo's most loyal bodyguard.

"Atobe, Atobe, Atobe~"

The calls for Atobe Keigo's name grew louder and louder, until they seemed to choke the others. Many people had things to say, but they had to stop and look up at Hyotei's smiling team.

For this,

The eldest son of the Atobe family was extremely satisfied.

He walked gracefully towards the court amidst the cheers that filled the stadium.

"Pfft~"

Niou Masaharu still showed his disdain for everything, while Yagyu Hiroshi beside him was much calmer, simply waiting quietly.

"despair!"

Grandpa Atobe tapped his fingers crisply and loudly, as if he had set a special volume, instantly drowning out the shouts.

The entire room fell silent.

The hand that seemed to control the entire scene, like a switch, remained raised high, resembling the Statue of Liberty in the sunlight.

This stark contrast,

It completely overshadowed Rikkai's dominance.

Sometimes it gives people the illusion that he is the protagonist of The Prince of Tennis!

Making the most stylish entrance and taking the most brutal beatings seems to be the key phrase in Atobe's life.

Every time he appears, he automatically attracts the world's attention, but he loses more often than he wins, and this time seems to be no exception.

"Atobe, I heard you got beaten up pretty badly by your second-year students."

Niou Masaharu has never followed the rules, and this treacherous villain always has the idea of ​​playing tricks on others in his mind. Atobe Keigo is quite famous at Rikkai University, after all, he is a figure of the same level as Sanada Yukimura. As his opponent, Niou Masaharu naturally cannot give up this opportunity to strike at his spirit.

"You can say that when you can beat me."

Atobe Keigo showed no trace of melancholy on his face; instead, he exuded an air of wickedness, as if he were the best under Natsume.

This made Prince Nioh Masaharu slightly displeased.

It's important to understand that in verbal disputes, every word spoken can sometimes be more powerful than a single shot or ball on the court.

Niou Masaharu's intention was to take the opportunity to mock Atobe Keigo, provoke Atobe's anger, and thus control the course of the entire match.

Unexpectedly, Atobe's words made him feel pressured and contemptuous.

The intention was to use Atobe to belittle Natsume Tsukiya, implying he was unworthy of his position.

Actually,

We must defeat Atobe Keigo.

If you can't even beat Atobe Keigo, you have no right to criticize Atobe's defeat to Natsume.

This Mr. Atobe's words were not just a rebuttal, but rather an expression of extreme confidence.

Hyotei and their own dignity were protected by a single word.

"I want to face it head-on!"

Yagyu Hiroshi was much calmer, and only started twirling his racket after Atobe finished speaking.

"In a head-on confrontation, Hyotei wins!"

"The opposite is true."

Niou Masaharu looked at the reverse side and laughed, "Victory belongs to Rikkai."

"Isn't it front-down if it's not front?"

Atobe Keigo walked back to his own back area without looking back.

"..."

The two students from Rikkai University were completely helpless against him, at least in terms of aura and demeanor.

Niou Masaharu secretly resolved to use tennis to shatter Atobe Keigo's arrogant attitude.

"Tap tap tap!"

Yagyu Hiroshi was tall and slender, wearing tinted glasses, and he bounced the ball back and forth.

"Hyotei vs. Rikkai Affiliated High School, Doubles Match 1, now begins, Rikkai Yagyu serves."

"Bang!"

With clean and elegant movements, Yagyu Hiroshi threw the ball up extremely fast, and his swing was also far faster than others.

Kabaji Takahiro stood like a wooden stake on the right side of the court, his body firmly planted, giving people a huge sense of pressure.

When Atobe Keigo plays basketball, his body feels like a bouncing ball, and he bounces up, a wicked smile appearing in his eyes.

"Bang!"

His counterattacks were like a rushing stream of light, and he was relaxed, without any sense of pressure or heaviness. This was completely different from Ryo Mikido's previous match, giving the audience a sense of exhilaration.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The back-and-forth, like threading a needle, lasted for more than a dozen points.

Niou Masaharu kept a vigilant eye on things.

"Bang!"

Suddenly,

Atobe Keigo's waist bent like a shrimp, his clothes fluttering, and the ball of light he shot out instantly transformed into an unadorned ray, slanting through Niou Masaharu in front of him.

"Zero to fifteen!"

Atobe smiled smugly. The first point after opening the door looked pretty good.

The two Rikkai players merely turned their heads slightly to look at you, showing no particular urgency.

"Rikkai remained calm and composed, displaying the same regal aura as when facing Atobe, just as they would against any other opponent..."

While capturing the handsome features, Inoue Mamoru secretly analyzed the scene.

From the perspective of Niou Masaharu—Yagyu Hiroshi, Inoue Mamoru still couldn't see the present as they did; it seemed that the only thing in Rikkai University's eyes was the National Tournament.

This sense of emptiness—looking to the future but unable to see the path ahead—seems to have penetrated the hearts of every Rikkai employee.

This veteran reporter keenly observed that Rikkai's disregard for others was reflected in their lack of full commitment.

This lack of all-out effort isn't about the competition itself, but rather a state of mind. This state arises when you stop treating all your opponents as opponents.

Can,

The students at Rikkai University seemed completely oblivious to this.

"Bang!"

Yagyu Hiroshi launched a ball.

Facing Atobe Keigo was not someone to be afraid of, but one could not be careless either.

"Bang!"

Atobe Keigo was already feeling quite pleased with himself, and he increased the pressure on his hands even more.

Niou Masaharu's eyes darted left and right as if he were monitoring the situation, then he aimed at the dull-witted Kabaji Takahiro, a smile playing on his lips, and swung his racket at the giant.

Kabaji Takahiro, like a machine, seemed clumsy but was actually precise. Facing Niou Masaharu's ball, he remained unmoved, still wooden, and poured the force into his racket with visible power.

"Bang!"

The fight continued.

"Mitsuki, Hyotei isn't as unsuitable for doubles as you say," Akazawa Yoshiro said.

Guan Yuechu was slightly embarrassed, and after a moment of hesitation, she spoke in her defense:

"Is that giant from Hyotei even human? If he were, he wouldn't be able to avoid stealing the ball!"

Kabaji Takahiro seemed to understand Atobe Keigo's reaction perfectly. He never stole the limelight from him, nor did he hold him back. He simply filled in for him, taking all the balls that Atobe couldn't or didn't want to catch.

In normal doubles, two twin stars are intertwined and twisted together.

The doubles match between these two players from Hyotei is more like a dazzling planet and its satellites orbiting around it.

Kabaji Takahiro's main focus has never been tennis, but rather his son, Atobe.

A radiant young master, and his bodyguards doing the dirty and tiring work!

The combination of these two has resulted in this kind of situation.

"That's Kabaji Takahiro, right?"

"What, you have a problem with that?"

"I heard he's been following Atobe Keigo since he was little. Wow, I wish I had someone like that following me too."

"Do you have money?"

"No!"

"You're still daydreaming without me?"

.....

Anyway,

Kabaji Takahiro's performance was truly impeccable; he seemed to have no emotions whatsoever.

"Bang!"

"Zero to thirty!"

The ball was won.

This immediately caused a stir off the field.

"That Atobe guy is really not to be underestimated."

"With Hyotei in this state, are they really going to crush Rikkai?"

"It's hard to say. It's simply unbelievable that Marui Bunta's doubles team would lose. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Niou Masaharu and his partner lost to Atobe Keigo."

"Having conceded two points in a row is not like Rikkai's style."

.....

"Kanzuki, what do you think?" Akazawa Yoshiro continued to ask.

Guan Yuechu glanced inscrutably at the Hyotei viewing area and said:

"Before this year, when did you ever see Keigo Atobe compete as a doubles player?"

"Kanzuki, what do you mean?" Akazawa Yoshiro was taken aback.

Guan Yuechu:

"Honestly, are we all being held back by something?"

"What do you mean?"

"If a team loses in the first three games, what's the point of saving their best player for the singles number one spot?"

Guan Yuechu seemed to have gained some insight and said:

"I'm not targeting Keigo Atobe, but rather saying that Hyotei has always lost more often than won against Rikkai. As far as I know, Hyotei didn't gain any advantage in the practice match against Rikkai either. Atobe Keigo never participates in doubles. Now it seems that he and this Takahiro Kabaji are a pretty good combination. It's all thanks to that guy's recklessness."

Akazawa Yoshiro looked over there and saw Natsume Tsukiya and Niizuma Hōkan smiling like summer flowers.

"Bang!"

"Don't get too caught up in my amazing skills!"

Atobe Keigo leaped high into the air, shouted the slogan that had been silent for so long, and swung his racket down, sending Niou Masaharu's racket flying.

once again

With a long stride, Atobe Keigo suddenly slammed the ball down.

"Zero to forty!"

Atobe Keigo landed steadily, looking quite pleased.

"Our Rikkai University has been suppressed again?"

"Is Rikkai really going to lose the Kanto Tournament, just like that guy said?"

"No way,"

"Rikkai University can't possibly not even be the runner-up, can they?"

panic,

Some even thought that if they lost the match against Hyotei, they would miss out on the championship and runner-up titles.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Rikkai University.

"Damn it!"

Kirihara Akaya also cried out.

In short, in his mind, Rikkai would go crazy if they lost a match, or even if someone took a single point from them.

"Aka, don't rush. Niou and Yagyu haven't used their special techniques yet." Yanagi Renji squinted, his tone very calm.

"But they've already been pinned down by the other side." Kirihara Akaya looked like he was about to cry and was furious.

"The other side is Atobe, there's nothing we can do about it," said Jackal Kuwabara.

"Whoever it is, if it were me, I would never give them a chance."

Kirihara Akaya glared fiercely at the jackal Kuwabara, clearly resentful that the two had lost the match.

Marui Bunta calmly replied:

"That's perfect!"

......

Niou Masaharu placed his hand on his forehead, which flickered.

"Atobe...?" Kanzuki stared in disbelief as two more Atobe Keigos appeared in the arena.

"That guy, he actually knows this kind of skill?"

"There are two Atobes, how are we supposed to fight them?"

"Hitting yourself?"

"This match is really interesting."

......

Atobe Keigo frowned deeply; someone actually dared to imitate his face...

"how?"

Niou Masaharu then provocatively said:

"Do you think you can escape my grasp?"

This old man, Atobe, is really angry this time.

However, he then burst into laughter and said:

"You think Rikkai will win just like that?"

His words made Genichiro Sanada, who was watching from the sidelines, raise his eyebrows.

Rikkai University has always been the only ones to say this to others, and today it's the first time someone has said it with such overwhelming force.

"Bang!"

Yagyu Hiroshi has started serving.

Two Atobe Keigos stood in the center.

"Bang bang bang!"

All I could see was their fluent and skillful fighting.

The two Atobe Keigos are surprisingly evenly matched.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Those middle school students who once fantasized about standing opposite Rikkai University and personally teaching them a lesson gradually lost their indignant passion as they watched this evenly matched showdown... They couldn't help but ask themselves, "Can I really do it?"

"Niou Masaru is not just good at deception; without considerable strength, it would be impossible to imitate an opponent's moves so perfectly."

Having witnessed the impersonation show of Shiroi Shonan Wakato Hiroshi, Inoue Mamoru gained a deeper understanding of impersonation. According to his investigation, this conman, Niou, was not as frivolous as he appeared.

He also underwent rigorous training in private to reach the level of possessing exceptional talent.

"Don't get too caught up in my amazing skills!"

In Lihai Grand Field,

Niou Masaharu leaped high into the air, exuding an aura of dominance over the entire scene, his tone almost identical to that of Atobe Keigo.

Akazawa Yoshiro:

"Why did Atobe hit such a high lob?"

On the court, Atobe Keigo looked towards Hyotei and met Natsume Tsukiya's gaze. He took a few steps back, and just as Niou Masaharu was about to smash, he leaped up and floated in the air opposite Niou Masaharu.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two resounding sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

"You want to use my moves to feel important? Keep dreaming."

As Atobe Keigo landed, his racket was held diagonally across his shoulder. The moment the ball landed, he exclaimed, startling everyone present.

The laser shot passed under Niou Masaharu's feet and struck the court heavily.

Niou Masaharu reverted to his original form, his eyes filled with astonishment.

"This is impossible?!" Niou Masaharu muttered to himself.

"The body may be giving it its all, but the heart will always be a beat behind, won't it?"

As Atobe Keigo spoke, he looked towards Hyotei.

Ever since Natsume Tsukiya taught him a lesson with his special move, and even upgraded his own move.

Atobe Keigo, after much painful reflection,

This move was originally intended to be used against Natsume Tsukiya.

If Natsume dares to use his special move against him again next time, then this move will be just what he needs.

never thought,

This trick wasn't used on Natsume Tsukiya, but Niou Masaharu got to try it first!
