The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 240 Then, let's end the game in the coolest way!

"Jack Kuwabara!"

When the name was announced, there was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by murmurs of confusion, and even boos from some areas.

"Wait a minute?! What on earth is Rikkai University doing?! What kind of team are they sending?!"

"Huh? Sending some nobody to feed in the last match?! If you don't want to win the first game, just concede! This third game is such a waste of my time!"

"Where's their minister?! Why isn't he playing? Are you kidding me? You're telling me it's the finals, and then Rikkai's minister chickened out?!"

Yukimura Seiichi's supporters retorted, "Yukimura-kun is not that kind of person!"

"But the fact is he didn't play in this game!"

"Hey, let's be reasonable! Who says Yukimura-kun has to be in the second singles match?! Can't he be in the first singles match to keep things in check?!"

"Heh, you dare to go one-on-one against Hyotei?! That just means you don't want to, oh no, you're too scared to step up!"

Inside the stadium, on the coach's bench, Yukimura Seiichi sat calmly, listening to the murmurs from the audience. He didn't even flinch at the cloak on his shoulders; after all, what did other people's opinions matter to him?

However, a hint of bitterness still inadvertently appeared in Yukimura Seiichi's eyes. It wasn't entirely because of the defeat, but rather because Yukimura Seiichi was slightly saddened to find that he had actually gotten used to the feeling of losing to Hyotei, even on the biggest stage like the national finals.

Inside the court, Jack Kuwabara touched his red and black bald head, picked up his golf bag, and walked towards the court.

"Just fight, Jack, don't worry about the outcome." Yagyu Hiroshi patted him on the shoulder.

Inner monologue: After all, this result was already decided the moment the opponent's name was announced.

"Play with the spirit of Rikkai!" said Yanagi Renji. "It's the last game. Even if we lose, we'll lose with our heads held high."

Genichiro Sanada nodded encouragingly to Jack Kuwabara, "Go for it, Jack."

Jack Sangyuan smiled and hummed in agreement, then walked towards the court.

As Sanada Genichiro watched his retreating figure, his left hand clenched tightly, his flat nails leaving deep marks on his palm.

He had heard the discussions in the audience just now, and the criticism of Seishi made him feel just as bad as losing the previous match.

In particular, a large part of the criticism leveled against Seishi stemmed from him ——————

If he and Renou hadn't lost, Rikkai's plan wouldn't have been aborted, and Rikkai's journey in the national tournament wouldn't have ended in this match!

Beside him, Marui Bunta chewed his gum, his thoughts a jumble of emotions. He hadn't expected that neither he nor Yanagi-kun would get a chance to play, nor would the club captain, and then the match was about to end.

However, to be honest, he felt that Rikkai University's formation and strategy were fine.

Because if he and Yanagi were to face Oishi and Kikumaru, they would have at least a 50/50 chance of winning. And if the vice-captain and Niou were to face Sengoku and Akutsu, they would also be able to win if nothing unexpected happened. If they win the two doubles matches, and the singles match three, and the captain were to face Mori, they would also be able to win. Then Rikkai would be able to beat Hyotei!

However, an unexpected outcome occurred—

Honestly, if it weren't for the unexpected turn of events, this would have been a winning gamble.

But, but—

Marui Bunta looked at the orange-haired figure opposite him, but Sengoku had actually activated the ultimate of the Heavenly Armor Flawless Technique! This caused the vice-captain and Niou to suffer a complete defeat. Yanagi Renji rubbed his temples and sighed. He could only say that plans can't keep up with changes, and he couldn't do anything about this unexpected event.

Inside the court, Kamiya You walked to the net and shook hands with Jack Kuwabara before the match. "Nice to meet you, Kamiya-kun," Jack Kuwabara said, extending his hand.

Kamiya You's smile remained unchanged, then he uttered two words, "Thank you for your concession."

Upon hearing this, Jack Sangyuan's eye twitched; wasn't this a tiny bit too arrogant?

Damn it, he looks so awful.

It's a pity we couldn't beat them, if only we could beat them—

At that moment, the net referee walked up with a racket and went straight to Kamiya You, asking, "Kamiya, which one?"

Kamiya You replied casually, "Rough."

Upon hearing this, the referee flicked his wrist, making a "shh-shh-shh" sound.

The racket spun like a top, "thud."

When the racket finally falls, the mark on the handle is an inverted A.

"My service game," Kamiya You said cheerfully.

Soon, the two took their positions, and then, Shiori Ohno announced loudly, "Well then, I declare! The match begins! This match is between Hyotei Academy's Yo Kamiya and Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School's Jack Kuwabara! End of game!"

"Yo Kamiya from Hyotei Academy, serves first!"

Kamiya You casually caught the tennis ball tossed to him by the caddie with his left hand, while his right hand swiftly raised the racket straight up toward the dome.

This action was like issuing a command; the Hyotei supporters shouted in unison, "Oh!!"

"Minister! Minister!!"

"The minister will win! The minister will win!!"

"Hyotei will win! Rikkai will lose!"

Before that wave of cheers had even subsided, the shouts of Kamiya You's personal bodyguard, composed of girls in short skirts, rose again: "Kamiya-sama is the strongest! Kamiya-sama is invincible!!"

"Kamiya-sama! Victory is certain!!"

Caught in the wave of this chant were also the infected spectators, shouting, "Charge! Kamiya-kun! Crush Rikkai!"

Listening to all this, Kamiya You's lips curled up slightly in a pleased smile. He calmly retracted his racket, looking at Jack Sanghara across from him with a complicated expression. "Destroy it all, get tired," he thought to himself, "why is he putting on such a pretentious face?"

The opponent doesn't have any particularly strong or special moves, but that doesn't matter. It's the last match of the national tournament, so let him win in the coolest way possible!

With this thought in mind, Kamiya Yo tossed a tennis ball towards the dome of the sky; "Whoosh!"

The tennis ball soared into the air, its shape strangely warm under the stadium lights. "Thump."

Kamiya You lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, and his entire body soared into the air. "Wow! He jumped so high! And so easily! He really just touched the ground once, but he flew up there!"

"They're here! They're here!"

"Judging by the wind-up animation, if I'm not mistaken, this is a phantom serve!"

Over there, Kamiya You smiled slightly, raised his hand, and with the frame of his racket, delivered a powerful slice from top to bottom to the tennis ball that was almost at eye level with him.

"laugh"

With a strange sound, the tennis ball suddenly began to spin intensely, and then nine identical spheres appeared in mid-air with a "buzzing" sound.

In an instant, it transformed into nine bolts of lightning that tore through the air, roaring and shooting towards completely different directions within the service area with a sharp whistling sound.

"Phantom Serve".

Kamiya Yo landed gracefully, finished with a stylish move, and then said.
