The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 243 We are the champions!

Over here, Jack was coughing incessantly, disturbed by the smoke and dust. Over there, applause spontaneously erupted from the audience. It started sporadically a few seconds ago, then suddenly grew louder and louder until it became thunderous.

"Slap! Slap! Slap—!"

Then, it's unclear who stood up first, but it triggered a chain reaction like dominoes, with nearly ten thousand spectators in the entire central arena rising to their feet to pay homage to Kamiya You.

This is people's spontaneous awe of the strong.

Amidst the thunderous applause came the shouts of the Hyotei supporters, which surged like a tsunami, along with the frantically waving Hyotei support flags.

"Minister! Minister! Minister!!"

"Hyotei has won! Hyotei has triumphed!!"

The shouts grew louder and louder, almost lifting the roof off the stadium.

Other viewers also spontaneously sent their congratulations, saying, "Kamiya-kun is amazing!"

"Invincible!"

"Absolutely incredible skill! Unparalleled!"

"The strongest junior high school student!"

"As expected of the Demon Lord!"

Even the players who had previously been defeated by Kamiya You were now applauding. Putting aside his wicked sense of humor, his strength was undeniable.

Tetsujin Fuwa remarked, "Losing to such a monster junior, the national champion isn't shameful at all."

Well, at least there's Muzhiteng to fall back on.

As Echizen Nanjiro watched the red mist dissipate, he adjusted his sunglasses and muttered, "Kamiya You—what a formidable kid—"

After a moment of passionate discussion, including that of Shiori Ohno and the others, the excitement subsided slightly before they picked up the microphone and announced, "Well then, I declare!"

Shiori Ohno's voice suddenly rose, each word clear and forceful: "Hyotei Academy wins the final of the Japan Junior High Tennis Championships! Final score: 3-0!"

After a brief pause, she continued, "Now, let's congratulate Hyotei Academy on winning the national championship!!"

When she said the last two words, her voice rose another octave.

"Hyotei! Hyotei! Hyotei!" The ordinary members of Hyotei shouted excitedly again, their faces filled with pride, while the audience outside the arena applauded once more, the sound of "clap clap clap" echoing continuously. "Congratulations!" "Well deserved!" "The strongest academy!"

"We are the champions! We are the national champions!!"

Meanwhile, in the Hyotei Stadium's player area, Kikumaru Eiji jumped up and down excitedly a few times, then nudged Oishi Shuichiro on the shoulder, "Oishi, Oishi, we're the champions, ya~!"

Even Oishi Shuichiro's usually composed face broke into a smile. "Yes, Eiji, we're the national champions!"

"We really did it! We did it at number one in the country! — Starting from the regional qualifiers, step by step —"

Saito Shu was so happy he was in a daze. You see, when he first became captain, he only thought that he should at least lead Hyotei to the national tournament this year. He didn't even dare to dream of even a top-eight finish. Later, after his short captainship ended and Hyotei was reformed, he only hoped that Kamiya-kun could lead Hyotei to the national top four again. But then, what happened!

Saito Shuu's mind flashed through the scores of Hyotei in the quarterfinals and semifinals. Finally, his gaze fell on the scoreboard at this moment, where Hyotei had three 6-0 scores. Hyotei was the champion!

Champions! Champions!!!

For a moment, Saito Shuu was truly moved to tears. Oh, Ochi-senpai, do you know what? Hyotei did it this time! And we reached an unprecedented, groundbreaking, historic height!

Immediately afterwards, the idea came to Saito Hide again:

Kamiya-kun is truly an excellent successor to the minister!

Under his leadership, Hyotei might just be on track for a three-peat in the national championships! They could even achieve a record that Makino Fuji couldn't break!

Meanwhile, Masahiro Shimizu, also a third-year student, said:

That's fantastic! He knew that with Kamiya-kun around, Hyotei would definitely win the national championship this year!

In this way, although he didn't contribute much in the national tournament, he was still a regular member of Hyotei's team. Being a regular member of the second team is still being a regular member. Therefore, his future resume would be very impressive. It's almost certain that he could join Hyotei's high school tennis club. Moreover, he would be a strong contender even if he were to compete for a spot in the student council or for the outstanding student scholarship.

"Let's go shake hands." Atobe Keigo's voice pierced through the sea of ​​jubilation. He led the way into the arena, a smile on his face. Atobe Keigo and Kamiya Yo exchanged a glance. Kamiya, even I have to say, you played really well.

Kamiya Yo responded with a smug smile, and soon after, Hyotei and Rikkai shook hands after the match.

The Rikkai University representatives left the arena in silence, their figures tinged with a somber mood. Meanwhile, on the high platform of the arena, the staff had already set up the podium.

A red carpet stretched from the edge of the podium to the edge of the intact left half of the field. Flower baskets were placed on both sides of the podium, and in the center was a gleaming gold championship trophy, reflecting a breathtaking light under the spotlight.

"Now, please welcome the champion team—Hyotei Academy—to the stage to receive their award!" Shiori Ohno's voice rang out, accompanied by music, "The mountain breeze blows, like mist and low clouds—"

"My friend, stride proudly toward the setting sun."

Sing it out loud—

"Hyotei! Hyotei! ————"

"A fine example spreads far and wide, its reputation reaching even the farthest reaches!"

"Hyotei! Hyotei! His name will be forever revered!"

Led by Kamiya You, the club members walked onto the platform to the background music of Hyotei's school song!

"Let's once again congratulate this team, who have demonstrated unparalleled strength and team spirit, on winning the championship trophy! Please raise your glasses!"

After Shiori Ohno finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and shouts of "Hyotei!" "Champion!" "So strong!" resounded once again.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kamiya You grasped the trophy, while Atobe and Mori each held one handle of the trophy, and the others touched the corner of the base with their fingers. Then, together they raised the trophy high!

"Snap! Snap! Snap!"

The flashes of light were like stars.

The event's official photographer, reporters from various media outlets, and spectators all pressed their shutters at this moment, freezing time in a photograph. "Now, please welcome the representative of Hyotei, Hyotei's captain, Kamiya-kun, to deliver his acceptance speech!"

Shiori Ohno continued, then handed the microphone to You Kamiya.

Kamiya You casually took the microphone, sensing the sudden silence that followed. Looking straight ahead, he said, "Hyotei, for the next two years, anyone is welcome to challenge us!"
