The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 95

"Oishi!!"

"Oishi?"

The phone's speakerphone was on, and two greetings came from Teiya Kunimitsu.

Shuichiro Oishi first looked at Eiji Kikumaru, and then the Seigaku members silently lowered their heads.

""

Ryuzaki Sumire stood not far away, observing from the side without making a sound.

"Tezuka!"

After a long silence, Oishi Shuichiro, realizing he could no longer remain silent, finally took a deep breath and agreed.

"Oishi, how's the match going? By now, the Seigaku vs. Hyotei match should be over, right?"

Kunimitsu Teya seemed very eager, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone, but went straight to the point and asked about the result of the match.

"Tezuka."

Shuichiro Oishi sighed deeply, the words on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to say them.

"What's wrong, Oishi?"

Kunimitsu Teya's tone remained as textbook-like and serious as ever.

"I'm sorry, family."

Shuichiro Oishi apologized very formally. Although Kunimitsu Tei wasn't in front of him, he still bowed his head to his phone, and you could feel his sincerity and regret in his tone.

'

The other side remained silent.

"We lost."

Summoning his courage, Oishi Shuichiro finally said, "Momo and Kaido lost their doubles match 2 to Ryo Mido and Chotaro Ootori, while Eiji and I lost our doubles match 1 to Takahiro Kabaji and Gakuto Mukahi. I'm very sorry."

""

Kunimitsu bypassed those two matches and asked directly, "So Echizen is number three in singles, if I remember correctly, right?"

Shuichiro Oishi immediately replied, "Echizen won all three of his singles matches."

"So?"

Fuji encountered Natsume Tsukiya, who had an undefeated record in his second year...

Shuichiro Oishi glanced around and, seeing no sign of Syusuke Fuji, said in a somber tone, "Six to zero, not a single point won."

Not even a single cent?

This surprised Kunimitsu Tei. He knew that Fuji Syusuke's strength was unfathomable, and even he, the captain of Seigaku, was wary of him. He never expected that Fuji Syusuke would not win a single point.

Before going to Germany, Kunimitsu Teya already knew what it meant to have failed to win a single point, but he still asked, "Does it mean we didn't win even a single point?"

"That's right, we didn't get a single point."

Shuichiro Oishi replied, "Fuji's three types of returns, the disappearing serve, all his special moves were neutralized by his opponent, and he even countered them all with double the force..."

"Okay, I understand!"

The other side replied.

"Tezuka, you must focus on your rehabilitation. We're waiting for you to come back so we can compete in the national tournament together," Oishi Shuichiro quickly reassured him.

"I'm doing fine here, please take care of yourselves."

After finishing his speech, Guoguang exchanged a few pleasantries and then hung up.

The group lingered for a moment at the entrance of Seigaku before sadly returning home.

Kawamura Takaie: "Splash!"

Takashi Kawamura opened the door.

"Here you are! Everything is ready. A sushi feast awaits your triumphant return."

Mr. Kawamura, Takashi's father, prepared a sushi feast and greeted them with a beaming smile.

"Dad." Kawamura Takashi lowered his head.

"Aaron, what's wrong? Where are your teammates?"

Takashi Kawamura's father asked with a smile, "I specially prepared your teammates' favorite sushi."

"The game was lost."

Kawamura Takashi slumped down on the high chair next to him.

"What? You lost?"

Kawamura Takashi's father looked incredulous: "You must be joking around, right? Quick, quick, call them over here."

"No, Dad, we really lost," Kawamura Takashi said dejectedly.

"How is that possible?"

Kawamura Takashi's father said, "Didn't you just say that you beat the strongest Rikkai University team?"

"Yes, but Hyotei is very strong, really strong. They even lost to our team's genius, Fuji," said Takashi Kawamura.

"I see..." Kawamura Takashi's father's smile faded.

Ryoma Echizen's family: "Yo yo yo, our prince has returned?" Nanjiro Echizen teased.

Nanako Echizen: "Uncle."

Ryoma Echizen frowned, his face full of displeasure.

"What's wrong, young man? Aren't you happy to have won the championship?" Echizen Nanjiro asked lazily.

"

""

Ryoma Echizen was even more displeased upon hearing this.

Nanako quickly said, "Ryoma, don't be angry. Uncle has something to do and doesn't know what's going on."

"What, you didn't lose, did you, young man?"

Echizen Nanjiro's playful expression faded, and he tentatively inquired.

"Clatter~"

Ryoma Echizen closed the door to the room without saying a word.

"Uncle, you really are something."

"Did you really lose?" Echizen Nanjiro asked.

"I heard on the radio that the winning team is Hyotei Academy." Nanako looked at the door.

"9

'

Echizen Nanjiro fell silent.

A moment later, Echizen Nanjiro dialed Inoue Mamoru's number.

"I can't get through." Echizen Nanjiro looked at the business card that Inoue Mamoru had handed him, puzzled.

Echizen Nanjiro stood under the eaves, amidst a flurry of falling flowers.

He touched his chin, lost in thought.

As he expected, Seigaku should be able to win the match. The most important thing he did when he sent Echizen Ryoma to Seigaku was to help his son grow step by step, including winning the championship.

Did I stumble here for the first time?

Meanwhile, in Ginza, hundreds of people from Hyotei arrived at the dinner venue.

In front of a luxurious shopping mall, people were already waiting.

The servants were all dressed in black suits.

"Wow, Atobe, you're really something else! You have such a luxurious lineup." Ryo Mido praised without reservation.

Atobe Keigo frowned; he wasn't sure if this was the butler's doing.

"The Atobe family is indeed very wealthy."

"I wish I could marry Atobe."

"Don't be a fangirl."

"Atobe is amazing."

Countless voices of admiration filled the crowd without any attempt to conceal their presence. Atobe Keigo, used to it all, remarked, "What's so special about this?"

The original plan was to celebrate on a luxury cruise ship.

A group of people approached.

But someone stopped him: "Sorry, this place is booked out for the whole day."

"Look closely, isn't the one who booked the whole place just this young master Atobe?" Ryo Mido put his hands on his hips and made way for Keigo Atobe.

"Atobe?"

The man looked puzzled and then said, "I don't know him."

"What?"

A commotion broke out around them.

"Ring ring!"

The housekeeper called.

Keigo Atobe angrily held the bag to his ear and asked, "Butler, what are you doing?"

"Young Master Atobe, I'm sorry, the restaurant you requested is already booked. I've already made a reservation at Taihe Beef Restaurant next door, I'll be there right away."

""

Atobe Keigo was helpless. This was the best restaurant, but it was already booked. He immediately asked, "Who dares to steal my seat?"

Butler: "It seems to be the new wife's house..."

"New wife?!"

Atobe Keigo suddenly realized something, and holding up his phone, he turned to look behind him as if he hadn't heard the butler's explanation.

Far behind the group, dozens of meters away, was the new wife's crown?

I almost forgot, that's the eldest daughter of the Niizuma family. It's said that the Niizuma family has deep ties with the ancient Nezu family.

It also has cross-shareholdings with family businesses such as Toyota, Mitsui, and Sumitomo...

Atobe Keigo looked up and saw a huge object fall from above with a loud crash.

A giant poster rolled down from the top of the building and slowly unfurled.

A collective gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

Upon closer inspection, there was only one person on the poster; who else could it be but Shinzō Bokan?

Looking at that young lady again, she was now leisurely joking and playing around with Natsume, each holding an ice cream cone...

Atobe Keigo closed his phone case, gave a soft hum, stepped forward, and said, "You should know this person, right?"

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the new wife's crown, and everyone made way for him, their eyes fixed on that spot.

The man was taken aback, then quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, Young Master Atobe, I didn't know you were Miss's teammates!!"

Everyone at Hyotei was stunned.

Atobe Keigo didn't care about any of that. Although that girl had stolen his thunder, he, Atobe-sama, was absolutely not afraid.

With a soft hum, he strode onto the red carpet before the young lady could even approach, heading towards the door, where everyone became respectful.

Apart from the two hundred people from Hyotei present, and the passersby watching from afar, everyone believed that this young master Atobe was the true master.

The other team members all appeared reserved. After all, they had never lived in an environment like Atobe's since childhood, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in such a situation.

However, the group followed Atobe Keigo inside, and seeing the waiters bowing at a 90-degree angle, they gradually felt relieved.

"Miss!"

Finally, when it was the bride's turn to wear the crown, everyone bowed even more deeply.

The members of Hyotei looked out from inside and were all dumbfounded.

"Well, no one has ever said that the 'New Wife Crown' is..." Mukahi Gakuto simply couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Keigo Atobe: "That's a daughter of a wealthy family."

"What?" Chotaro Ootori: "Atobe, that's an exaggeration."

"Do you think she's going to make a nameplate out of her identity and hang it around her neck?" Atobe Keigo said dismissively.

Jiro Akutagawa: "So, Atobe, between the Atobe family and the Niizuma family, who is richer?"

"More or less," Atobe Keigo replied after a moment's thought.

In short, it's impossible for him to admit that the Atobe family is inferior to others. However, the other party is also a descendant of an old conglomerate and belongs to a relatively hidden existence among the old and new forces. They are involved in various fields, so it cannot be said that the Atobe family can definitely win.

However, Atobe Keigo did not expect that Niizuma Hokan would transfer to Hyotei.

It must be related to that guy Natsume.

"almost!"

Everyone was surprised: "The Niizuma family is just as rich as the Atobe family!"

"Ugh, that Natsume guy, he's really something to be jealous of."

"I was wondering why that guy was so lucky. I wish I could be that lucky someday!"

"Me too, hahaha!"

"Then let's enjoy this to the fullest, thanks to our new wife."

The group rode the glass elevator upwards.

The area around the building was quickly cordoned off.

A moment later, a group of people rushed over.

They represent the teams that lost in the Kanto Tournament.

There were people like Sengoku Kiyosumi.

We arrived downstairs quickly.

"I'm sorry, please come another day. This place is booked for private use."

Sengoku Kiyosumi and the others were stopped.

Tan Taichi: "What should we do, Sengoku-senpai?"

Sengoku Kiyosumi: "Wow, that Atobe guy is really rich and powerful, he actually booked out a place like this."

"Senior Sengoku, look!"

Tan Taichi pointed to the poster above his head.

I was so busy getting there that I didn't even have time to look up.

When Sengoku Kiyosumi looked up, a poster of a bride with a crown that shone brighter than any celebrity's was displayed before him, and he was instantly stunned.

I wondered, who could it be? This must have cost a fortune. Could it be that poster made by Natsume Tsukiya?

The team representatives who arrived one after another were all stopped downstairs.

The upper floors were filled with cheerful sounds.

The people downstairs could only sit on benches and wait.

"Hey, butler!"

Keigo Atobe received a phone call from his butler.

"Young Master Atobe, the organizers of the national tournament have called."

"What's the matter?"

"They said the host team spot for the Kanto Tournament will be decided by Hyotei. Since the Atobe family is a sponsor of this tournament, they'll leave the team selection to the young master!"

It turns out that the spot that was leaked in the competition was not because of the host country at all, but because of the Atobe family.

After all, Keigo Atobe's family is a wealthy conglomerate.

The organizers finalized the decision during the losers' bracket revival match.

Since it has already been announced, it can't be canceled.

Therefore, he sought the opinion of Atobe Keigo.

The group of guys downstairs on the second floor came for this reason.

"I understand!" Atobe Keigo hung up the phone.

Soon, Atobe Keigo found Natsume Tsukiya.

"That's the situation," Atobe Keigo said. "You decide for yourself, after all, you're the captain of Hyotei."

Keigo Atobe left this decision to Tsukiya Natsume.

He didn't really care about these things to begin with.

Now that Hyotei has won the Kanto Tournament, it no longer matters who will be the final spot.

Natsume Tsuki never expected things to turn out this way.

Is this something I can decide for myself?

Wow, this is interesting.

The jubilation at Hyotei soon subsided.

The heads of various schools all approached Shintaro.

The results were all unsatisfactory.

Tan Taichi: "Sengoku-senpai, what should we do?"

Sengoku Kiyosumi: "I had no choice, I did my best."

Akutsu leaned against something and stepped forward: "You can't even handle something this simple."

"Akuzu-senpai, don't say that about Sengoku-senpai. He has already tried his best," Tan Taichi said.

"Kid, who are you talking to?" Akutsu grabbed Tan Taichi by the collar, snorted, and tossed him aside.

He walked away with his hands in his pockets.

"Akuzu-senpai?"

"Tan Taiichi shouted."

Kiyosumi Sengoku: "Akuzu!"

Akutsu walked into the darkness.

His first thought was Natsume Tsukiya.

That guy gave him a feeling, as if that guy named Natsume Tsukiya could accomplish anything that seemed impossible.

Akutsu decided to go and meet that person.

He still owes me a favor!

Whether it succeeds or not.

We have to give it a try, don't we?

Natsume Tsukiya was still wondering what to do.

The newlywed, adorned with a crown, smiled sweetly and said, "I already know who my senior is going to give this spot to!"

Natsume Tsukiya smiled; she was still as clever as ever.
