My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level

"Interesting, this is really interesting."

Outside the Yamabuki Tennis Club, separated by barbed wire, Coach Banta watched the black-haired boy training meticulously on the court, his interest growing stronger.

He discovered that the boy not only maintained the same force and speed with each swing, but more importantly, the amplitude of his swing was also almost identical.

in other words.

The black-haired boy almost always stopped at the same spot after swinging his racket.

What does this mean?

This means that the opponent's understanding and control over the swing has reached a rather astonishing level.

In Banta's memory, even Sengoku had not reached this level.

"pity."

After a pause, Bantian sighed inwardly.

Swinging the racket is just a basic exercise in tennis practice, and it can indeed quickly improve your ability to control the racket in the introductory stage.

But compared to actual combat, it's still far from perfect.

As for Sengoku, who has the strength of the Kanto region, he can maintain a ball sense far beyond that of ordinary people through matches, even without training, thanks to his own talent.

This alone is something that most people would find difficult to catch up to even after three years of hard practice.

but.

Banta still observed carefully and memorized the other person's appearance. Because subconsciously, he mistook Shibukawa for a first-year junior high school student.

These new recruits will be eligible to train after this summer. He'll observe them then to see if they can be developed into key trainees.

Shibukawa, who was training diligently on the field, was completely oblivious to this.

His [Swing] skill has now reached level 5. The experience required to upgrade the corresponding skill has also increased to 3000.

According to the previous training method, it would require 3000 standard swings, taking at least a week.

Therefore, if he wants to level up quickly, he must maintain a higher level of swing performance. Moreover, as his understanding of the swing deepens, Shibukawa has a premonition that there will definitely be other swing performance ratings above "excellent".

...

"You old stinky man."

In a corner of the Yamabuki playground, a gray-haired boy sitting on the grass frowned as he looked at the old man walking towards him: "I've already said it, I have no interest in tennis."

"Yeah?"

The newcomer, Banta, said with a smile, "But I don't think so. With your physical talent, Akutsu, you would definitely achieve extraordinary success if you used it in tennis."

"cut."

To everyone's surprise, Akutsu scoffed dismissively, "I have absolutely no interest in that kind of thing. And remember this, old man, don't ever mention this to me again, or else..."

He stood up, gave the old man a murderous look, and then turned and left.

"This kid..."

Looking at the other person's back, Bantian shook his head helplessly.

Despite possessing extraordinary talent, he showed no interest in any sport. Moreover, his violent temper was more rebellious than any junior high school student he had ever met.

He now understood why other soccer and basketball clubs wouldn't recruit such a talented player as Akutsu. It seemed they were afraid of his personality.

Unfortunately, I have no other choice.

Bantian sighed.

Although team tennis cannot be solved simply by discovering a super talent, Akutsu became an inevitable option for Yamabuki, who were struggling in singles.

"but......"

With a sudden thought, Banta recalled the boy with long black bangs he had just met at the tennis club.

"We should also keep a close eye on those first-graders."

As a seasoned and accomplished coach, Banta is well aware that the team's transition period is the most critical time affecting its overall strength. If not handled properly, it's not impossible for Yamabuki's overall strength to decline compared to this year.

Beep beep!!

Just then, the screen of his phone, which was on the table, lit up. A new message appeared on the social media app.

"Are you back?"

Upon seeing the message, Banta immediately laughed: "In that case, the plan can probably be brought forward. Sengoku's talent is too good; we can't let him waste it."

...

The next day.

Yamabuki Tennis Club.

He mingled among the crowds in Sichuan for his daily training. Now, he has reached a level of proficiency in excellent-level swings, but he still has no clue about the next stage of his swing.

Fortunately, unlike Muromachi, who is usually a nobody in Yamabuki and has little presence, he is not the focus of the team's attention.

and.

Since he was already in second grade, he hadn't encountered any of the awful things that happened in Japanese schools, like bullying newcomers. This allowed him to develop more discreetly and accumulate his strength.

Clang!

but.

After a period of training, the calm was finally broken.

As the iron gate of the tennis court was pushed open, a group of teenagers wearing white jackets, with arrogant expressions and sharp eyes, filed in.

"The regulars are back!"

Someone said something, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Even Muromachi, who usually had an arrogant demeanor, showed a look of awe on his face.

The correct choice.

They are the eight strongest members selected from all the members of Yamabuki through a rigorous selection process.

Each of them is far ahead in terms of strength.

Especially the club captain, Uesugi Kenichi, and the second-year regular, Sengoku Kiyosumi, the most talented player in the Yamabuki school. Even Muromachi, who considers himself a genius, dared not be negligent in the slightest because of these two.

"minister."

Minami, who stayed behind to oversee training, stepped forward and began talking to the brown-haired boy at the head of the group, Uesugi Kenichi, the captain of the Yamabuki team.

"Well done."

Uesugi patted the other person on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Although Nan's talent is not outstanding, he works very hard and has a good management skill. He has been Nan's most capable assistant in the past six months.

"Everyone."

Then, Uesugi stepped forward, looked at everyone on the court, and said, "I know how everyone is doing. You've all worked hard these past few days."

Uh?

Upon hearing this...

All the team members were stunned.

The same goes for Shibukawa. Having absorbed the original owner's memories, he clearly remembered that his minister was not a good-tempered person.

Now you're speaking so softly and gently, to this extent?

really.

Then Uesugi's expression turned serious, and his gaze sharpened: "But it was only after arriving in Kyushu this time that I realized the gap between Yamabuki and top teams."

These words struck a chord with the other regulars behind him. They all recalled the match between Uesugi and Atobe a few days earlier.

The difference is too big!

Despite being older and having a reputation comparable to Atobe's, Uesugi was utterly defeated, completely powerless to retaliate.

"Therefore, after discussions with the coach, we have decided to begin targeted intensive training for you starting today."

Intensify...training?

Everyone was taken aback.

Muromachi, however, reacted quickly, revealing intense excitement behind his white-rimmed sunglasses.

opportunity!

This is a crucial opportunity for him to become a regular starter for the tenth time before his second year! He absolutely cannot miss it!!

"Training?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shechuan's eyes, which were hidden by his bangs, followed by a hint of interest.

This seems to be his opportunity to move to the next stage of his strength after completing his basic accumulation.
