My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level

[Name: Kentaro Minami]

Age: 13

[Position: Second-year student at Yamabuki Junior High School, Vice-Captain of the Tennis Club]

[Five Dimensions: Speed ​​1.8, Strength 1.8, Stamina 2, Technique 2, Mental Strength 1.2, Total 8.8]

[Skills: Cipher Tactics]

[Ability: Doubles Enhancement Lv1]

[Potential: C]

[Cultivation sites: 0]

[Status: Cultivable]

(Double Enhancement Lv1: Increases teamwork by 10% during doubles matches, allowing teammates to understand your ideas more accurately)

...

"The five dimensions and... less than 9 points?"

Although Kawakami had been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback when he actually saw the data from the south.

It's important to know that Kentaro Minami is, after all, the vice-captain of Yamabuki, and he was a key player in the team's doubles in both the Tokyo International Championships and the Kanto International Championships this year.

As a result, this contestant's five-dimensional values ​​were only this low.

However, upon closer reflection, I understand why I'm not so upset about it.

Nan's data coincided with his previous guesses. The so-called titles of Metropolitan Tournament level, Kanto level, and even national level are not static, but fluctuate.

This is actually quite easy to understand.

Take Rikkai University, which currently dominates the nation and has maintained its two-peat as an example. Whether it was last year or this year, they are undoubtedly the strongest team in the country.

Among them, the regular players, led by Yukimura, are the best of the best.

A year has passed, and Yukimura, the strongest fighter in the country, has naturally improved his strength. He was at the national level last year, and he remains at the national level this year as well.

Using Yukimura as a benchmark, what changed before and after was that the threshold for "national level" increased.

in other words.

To reach last year's national level, a score of 14 in the five dimensions was sufficient. However, this year, that value has significantly increased.

Next year, during the most competitive national competition, the five dimensions used to measure "national level" will be raised again.

In this situation.

Nan, despite having a combined stat total of less than 9, is definitely capable of reaching the level of a major tournament in this year's national league. Moreover, as a doubles player, his actual combat strength will only be higher with the added advantage of his abilities.

A thought crossed my mind.

Shibukawa looked at the orange-haired boy standing silently in the corner of the court. Instantly, the opponent's stats appeared before his eyes.

Name: Sengoku Kiyosumi

Age: 13

[Status: Second-year student at Yamabuki Middle School, regular member of the tennis club]

[Five Dimensions: Speed ​​1.5, Strength 2, Stamina 2, Technique 2.5, Mental Strength 3, Total 11]

[Skill: Tiger Cannon]

[Ability: Dynamic vision level 3]

[Potential: A+]

[Cultivation sites: 0]

[Status: Cultivable]

...

Qian Shi took in the data and a smile appeared on She Chuan's face.

He knew from the moment he easily suppressed his opponent during their streetball match that his stats had actually exceeded 1,000 koku.

but.

Sengoku's abilities are indeed very strong, having reached level 3. Judging from the various abilities Shibukawa possesses, level 3 dynamic vision is more than three times more effective than level 1.

This is understandable, as Sengoku's dynamic vision in the original work is in a class of its own.

But this also led to his abilities being overestimated.

In the original work, Sengoku was defeated by Momoshiro of Seigaku and Kamio of Fudomine in two key matches, the Tokyo Tournament and the Kanto Tournament, and was in a very embarrassing situation.

It was only after that that he learned his lesson and began to change his style. Unfortunately, it was too late, and with Akutsu's departure, Yamabuki's rise to power was over.

finally.

Yamabuki was eliminated in the top 16 of the national competition, easily defeated by the all-foreign team Nagoya Seitoku.

It can be said that with Sengoku's talent, if he starts to pay attention now, even if he can't compare to the top-tier masters in the first tier in the future, he will at least be able to stand alone on the national stage.

Furthermore, with the appearance of Shibukawa and the new features unlocked on the proficiency panel, Sengoku might even be able to take another step forward and catch up with the masters.

With this in mind, Shechuan's resolve shifted, and he opened up the option of nurturing her.

Instantly.

Sengoku's character panel has changed.

【Sengoku Kiyosumi】

[Selectable training paths: ① Offensive (++), ② Defensive (+), ③ Explosive (+++), ④ Data-driven (++), ⑤ All-rounder (+)]

Recommended Route: Burst Build

[Development Recommendations: This player possesses well-rounded talent, high physical potential, and exceptionally keen insight. With improved physical attributes and a change in playing style, he could become a formidable, explosive player.]

Training method:

① Training Lv1: Consumes 10 training points, increases the effectiveness of this team member's basic ability training by 10% for 3 hours.

②Teach Lv1: Consumes 10 training points, increasing the player's ball skills by 10% for 30 minutes.

③ Potential Unleashed Lv1: Consumes 20 training points to increase the five-dimensional stat boost of this team member by 10% for 3 hours.

[Development Points: Awarded through team members' completion of daily training and achieving victory in matches]

Good guy!

Upon seeing the notification on the data panel, Shibukawa almost blurted out "Fuck!"

He never imagined that becoming the captain of the Yamabuki team would unlock such a new ability. Judging from the training results, he could not only plan the most suitable tennis style for each player based on their abilities.

Moreover, judging from the training options, he could even strengthen other members of the Yamabuki team by consuming so-called "training points," just like he strengthened himself.

At first glance, a 10% increase doesn't seem like much.

But there are still about 8 months until the start of the competition (June). Even if there is a small advantage, accumulating it for 240 days is enough for quantitative change to lead to qualitative change.

Moreover, if Shechuan is not mistaken, the training abilities he possesses can be continuously upgraded through use, gaining experience and leveling up just like other abilities.

At that time, with level 2, 3, or even higher training abilities, he will be able to cultivate mediocre talents into geniuses.

Thinking of this, Shibukawa couldn't help but smile to himself.

Now, however, he is increasingly looking forward to seeing how much Yamabuki's overall strength will improve when the next season begins.

but.

He is not a blindly impulsive person.

For him now, the important thing is not to rush into making a training plan, but to conduct an effective assessment of the other members of the tennis team.

then.

After escorting former captain Uesugi to the sidelines to rest, Shibukawa announced that training would proceed as scheduled. However, he picked up a small notebook and walked back and forth on the field, recording the players' data and potential values, and selecting the more outstanding ones for further development.

"This kid's got some skills."

On the periphery of the crowd, Banta nodded to himself after seeing what Shibukawa did.

Even after becoming a minister, he maintained a humble yet assertive attitude. He wasn't arrogant or complacent, but instead focused on gaining a deep understanding of the team members. In this respect, Shechuan's minister is at least qualified.

...

Half an hour later.

Shechuan looked at the team member information recorded in the notebook and fell silent.

[Chigoku Kiyosumi, Potential A+]

[Muromachi Shiki, Potential C+]

【Kentaro Minami, potential C】

[Eastern elegance, potential C]

[Shinto Rice Inakichi, Potential C-]

[Kichima Kita, potential C+]

【Brocade Wings, Potential D】

......

Looking at the list he had compiled, Shibukawa couldn't help but rub his temples. Although he knew that the Yamabuki team wasn't strong overall, he still felt a bit overwhelmed when he actually saw the potential and stats of these team members.

The whole team.

Apart from Sengoku, who has an A+ rating, there isn't a single B-level potential; almost all of them have C-level potential, and there's even one guy with D-level potential.

And these are already things that are respectable enough to be discussed openly.

That D-rank potential value belongs to Nishikiori Tsubasa, a second-year student. If Shibukawa remembers correctly, she was the one who was promoted from Yamabuki after the original tournament and replaced her as a regular player.

No wonder Sengoku in the original work always gave people the feeling of forcing a smile.

If Shigekawa were to face this situation himself, he would most likely also develop psychological problems.

Fortunately, he has an extra advantage that allows him to lead his teammates to success. Moreover, if the plan goes smoothly, Yamabuki will also have several other strong foreign players joining him in the future.

That's all for today.

He put the notebook back in his bag, picked up his racket, found a quiet spot, and began his daily training.

"This guy... is terrifying!"

Seeing this, the Yamabuki team members looked at Shibukawa with even greater awe. However, the first and second-year members, in addition to awe, felt even more admiration.

They genuinely regarded each other as role models on their journey of learning tennis.

Even Muromachi and others admired Shibukawa more and more.

If they achieved the same success, let alone slacking off in training, it would be quite an achievement if they could just maintain their composure and not act arrogantly in front of others.

However, the other party remained true to their original aspirations, which set a very high standard for the Yamabuki team.

and.

No one will feel aversion to this standard; instead, they will unconsciously compare their own behavior to it and naturally move closer to where the boy in front of them is.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

One side of the stadium.

Sengoku, who had been absent-minded, started swinging his racket at some point, practicing the swing with perfectly standard movements over and over again.

Seeing this, Banta and Uesugi, who was resting on the ground, couldn't help but smile.

Although they cannot predict the future and do not know whether it is a good thing that Shibukawa became the head of Yamabuki today, at least for now, things are changing for the better within Yamabuki.

"Ugh."

Looking at those vibrant faces, Uesugi couldn't help but sigh, a hint of melancholy creeping into his heart.

pity.

He was born in the wrong era.

Even if I were born a year later, I wouldn't miss out on this Yamabuki who is full of endless possibilities.

...

at the same time.

In a residential area near a commercial district in Tokyo, a brown-haired boy with a prominent cross-shaped scar on his forehead stood hesitantly at the door of a house with the nameplate "Fuji".

"call!"

a long time.

The boy seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath, pushed open the courtyard gate, and went inside.

"Yuta's back?"

The mother, who was sweeping the floor, looked at the boy who suddenly appeared in front of her with surprise: "Why so suddenly? Did something happen?"

"Mother."

The boy walked up to his mother and said firmly, "I want to transfer schools..."

Transferring schools?

The woman frowned slightly upon hearing this.

This is her second son, and this is the second time he has requested to transfer schools this year.

"You've lost interest in tennis?"

The woman thought for a moment and asked.

She remembered clearly that her son had used the excuse of "wanting to be exposed to more professional tennis" to beg them to transfer him to the Sarujima Tennis Academy.

But before two months had even passed, they backed out again.

Thinking of this, the woman felt a growing sense of dissatisfaction. She felt even more disappointed in the young man's performance.

"Yuta, don't be like this."

The woman thought for a moment, but didn't bring herself to scold her. Instead, she spoke as gently as possible, saying, "Don't give up easily when you encounter difficulties in something you've chosen. I know practicing tennis isn't easy, but don't forget your initial dream..."

"I know, Mom, I..."

The boy, Fuji Yuuta, tried to explain.

"alright."

The woman shook her head and said, "We'll talk about transferring schools later. What you need to do now is calm down and think it over carefully. If it doesn't work out, you can also discuss it with Zhou Zhu..."

"That's enough!"

however.

The woman's words were like a fuse that ignited an explosion. Yuta roared and stormed into the house, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

"This child...sigh!"

The woman shook her head and sighed with a sorrowful expression.

As a mother, she naturally knew why her son had snapped. She usually tried to avoid touching that sensitive spot, but today she couldn't help herself and brought it up.

I can tell.

The knot in her second son's heart remained untied.

Tennis, which she had placed her hopes on, did not work as she had wished to resolve the boy's emotional distress.

a long time.

The woman chose to compromise.

She went into the room, knocked on her son's door, and had an in-depth conversation with him.

"So, Yuuta, you want to transfer to Yamabuki?"

A look of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes: "The tennis training there is actually better than that of the Sarujima Tennis Academy?"

"Um."

The boy's answer was very firm.

Those eyes, filled with expectation yet unwavering determination, were something the woman had never seen before. This was completely different from when he left Seigaku for Sarujima Tennis Academy.

She remembered clearly that her second son's eyes were filled with confusion at the time. The casual mention of "Sarujima Tennis School" was clearly just an excuse.

But when he said the name "Yamabuki," he was absolutely firm and unwavering.

"I see."

The woman nodded: "This is the last time. I hope you can hold on until you graduate from junior high school."

finally.

The boy transferred to Yamabuki High School as he had wished.

"Yamabuki?"

Not long after, when the woman's eldest son returned home and heard the news, a strange glint flashed in his brown eyes.
