The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 233 National Tournament, Singles Three

"After months of breaking through layers of obstacles, the two top national teams have finally made it to the central arena stage."

"And today, they will fight for the final championship throne!"

Shiori Ohno's passionate voice paused there, then she changed the subject, "Well then, to cut to the chase, let's welcome these two teams."

"First up are the contestants from Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School in the Kanto region! Let's welcome them with a warm round of applause!"

After Shiori Ohno finished speaking, she led the applause, and the audience burst into applause.

Then, wearing khaki team uniforms, a total of eight boys (the last one being a substitute) led by Yukimura Seiichi, who wore a green sports headband, had short purple-blue hair, and was wearing a team uniform jacket, walked into the stadium one by one through the players' special passage.

"Rikkai! Rikkai!" The Kanagawa Prefecture audience cheered for their pride, the sole representative from Kanto who had even reached the national finals this year. "Yukimura-sama will win!"

Several little girls dressed in replica Rikkai Brigade uniforms (skirt version) sat together, some cheering for Yukimura Seiichi, others...

They were captivated by Sanada Genichiro's cool demeanor, exclaiming, "Sanada-sama is so cool!"

Over there, Shiori Ohno patiently waited until the cheers from the audience subsided slightly before taking the microphone again and saying, "Now, next up are the players from Hyotei Academy, also from the Kanto region! Let's give them another round of applause!"

As soon as Shiori Ohno finished speaking and raised her hand to lead the applause, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

"Wow! Hyotei! Hyotei is here!!"

The audience was filled with anticipation and excitement, especially the long-time fans who had watched Hyotei rise step by step from the regional tournaments.

Some people were even moved to tears of pride and emotion, while new viewers were stunned by Hyotei's terrifying popularity.

"Holy crap! I'd heard about it before, but I never imagined I'd seriously underestimate it. Hyotei actually has this terrifying level of support?!"

"Looking around, it seems like everyone's shouting! They're shouting from all directions!"

"And the size of that club, even if it's the total number of members across all three academic years, is really just too outrageous!"

"It doesn't matter, none of that matters. What matters is that I'm about to meet the renowned and incredibly powerful Kamiya-kun, the one known as the Demon King!"

In short, everyone's attention was focused on the players' tunnel.

Then, the first figure appeared—it was Kamiya You!

The moment his figure appeared, the decibel level in the arena soared to a peak that was painful to the eardrums!

Kamiya You walked out unhurriedly. His ordinary Hyotei regular team uniform looked like a high-end custom-made garment on him.

His short black hair, and especially his black eyes, swirled like vortexes under the light, making him exceptionally captivating.

Kamiya You's lips curled slightly, his gaze sweeping calmly and with satisfaction over the bustling stands, like a king surveying his territory.

Following closely behind were Keigo Atobe, Jusaburo Mori, Jin Akutsu, and the other players who took the field this time, plus one substitute.

"Kamiya-sama is so cool!"

"As expected of Lord Kamiya! That aura, that strength—it's simply beyond the scope of a middle school student!"

"Ah! Lord Kamiya! Ah! I'm dead (from being too handsome)!"

"Take a picture! I have to take a picture! I need to save this so I can admire it later!"

"Seriously, he looks so handsome from every angle! Kamiya-sama's coolness is flawless!"

"Akuzu's white hair is so cool."

"Mmm, Atobe-sama is so elegant, so handsome, I absolutely adore him!"

The moment Kamiya You stepped onto the field with his left foot, the flag in the very conspicuous blue and white section of the stadium stands waved, "Oh!!"

"Hyotei! Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Hyotei has won! Rikkai has lost!"

"Hyotei will win! Rikkai will lose!"

"Hyotei—Victory is certain!! (Voice cracks)"

After the cheers for Hyotei subsided, Shiori Ohno picked up the microphone again and said, "Now, please let both teams shake hands!"

Kamiya Yoh reached out to Yukimura Seiichi, who was directly in front of him and separated from him by a net. "Yukimura-kun, I only ran into Marui-kun last time, which was a bit disappointing. Anyway, I hope it will be you this time."

Yukimura Seiichi smiled gently and said, "What a coincidence, me too."

Inner monologue: I can usually compete with Kamiya-kun, but I'm really no match for him in the finals. Seriously, let's get him Mori-kun instead!

The others followed suit, shaking hands and saying, "Nice to meet you."

"Please give me your guidance, N."

After the post-match handshake, both teams headed to the players' waiting area.

Only Yukimura Seiichi was an exception. He walked steadily to the empty coach's bench on the sidelines, nodded slightly to Hyotei coach Sakaki Taro, who was half a court away, and then sat down. Seeing that everyone was in the correct position, Ohno Shiori continued to advance the game.

She took a deep breath, then held the microphone to her lips. Next, she swung her left hand sharply, pointing her fist towards the ceiling, and declared in her loudest, most rousing voice, "So, I declare! The final match of the Japan Junior High Tennis National Tournament, between Hyotei Academy and Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, is now officially open!!!"

"The first match will be the singles third-place game!"

Shiori Ohno turned slightly to face the Hyotei players' waiting area, "By—Hyotei Academy—Keigo Atobe!"

As Shiori Ohno was speaking, Keigo Atobe walked out of the Hyotei players' waiting area, taking off his jacket and casually tossing it into the stands behind him. (Takahiro Kabaji, who was sitting on it, stood up in a second and caught it precisely.)

Then, Keigo Atobe picked up his golf bag and strode toward the court, the spotlight following him. He snapped his fingers, which triggered another round of screams from his fans.

"Let's face off!" Shiori Ohno turned to the other side, "Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School, Yagyu Hiroshi!"

The moment he finished speaking, Yagyu Hiroshi adjusted his glasses, calmly picked up his golf bag, and walked steadily toward the playing field.

Atobe Keigo licked his back teeth. "Rikkai University's third singles player is already on this list?!"

This made his victory feel unfulfilling, and how could he, Atobe-sama, demonstrate his strength when his opponent was so weak?!

He had originally thought that if he faced Yukimura Seiichi this time, he would never give him another chance to win (because, after six months, his sixth sense had finally taken shape!).

That's it?!
