My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level

Five dimensions.

In the original work, there are five standard attributes for measuring the strength of a fighter: speed, strength, stamina, technique, and mental strength.

While the level of each of the five dimensions (stats, abilities, and stats) doesn't completely determine the outcome of a match, sheer numerical strength can clearly demonstrate a player's ability to win or lose.

Furthermore, this aligns with Shechuan's current goal of improving its basic capabilities.

"According to the original work, when Tezuka joined the U17 team, his total five dimensions were 19.5. So the so-called national peak should be at the level of a total of 20 in the five dimensions."

"If we use Tezuka as the standard for evaluation, an average national-level player should have a five-dimensional score of 17."

"By the same token, the sum of the five dimensions of the Kanto-level threshold is approximately 14 points."

Furthermore, the five dimensions at the county (city) level or even the regional level are of little significance to Shechuan.

His vision will not be limited to this level.

If someone has a cheat code and still can't surpass this level in a short time even after giving it their all, then it means they're simply not suited for tennis.

After finishing training, Shechuan returned home.

Just like yesterday, her mother, Yumi, prepared dinner in advance, left a note, and went to the bakery.

After dinner and a short rest, Shechuan changed his clothes and went downstairs for a night run. The skill level boost wouldn't immediately grant him immense power, but it showed him the possibility of becoming stronger.

Shechuan also knew the saying that one cannot become fat in one bite.

The core of the Prince of Tennis World Tennis is the power of numerical values, which are equivalent to five dimensions. Improving these five dimensions is not something that can be done overnight; it requires persistent training.

...

Complete one basic run.

[Running experience +1]

Current running level: lv2 (48/100)

When Shigekawa's body reached its limit, and it was extremely difficult to even lift his legs, he stopped only after the notification of increased experience points appeared before his eyes again.

A 5km night run at a 6-minute pace took half an hour.

This score is only average among ordinary 13-year-old junior high school students. However, Shibukawa was originally rather thin and weak, and his foundation was not very good.

Moreover, just like racket swing practice, completing a standard run requires not only a certain pace but also specific running posture.

If the posture is not stable or standard, the experience gained will be reduced, or even nonexistent.

But Shechuan was not discouraged.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as he can maintain his current pace and complete all kinds of training projects every day without fail, it's only a matter of time before his strength improves.

If one day isn't enough, then a week will do.

If it doesn't work in a week, then it will take a month.

If one month isn't enough, then six months.

He knew very well that only with a solid foundation could he go further. Just like the protagonist of the original work, Echizen, before transferring to Seishun Academy, he didn't have many impressive ball skills or abilities.

but.

Thanks to his almost daily tennis practice with his tennis legend father, Echizen Nanjiro, the protagonist, Echizen Ryoma, accumulated a wealth of match experience. His subsequent bursts of brilliance throughout the story are not only due to the protagonist's plot armor, but also to his own accumulated experience and skill.

After all, if you play against world-class tennis legends every day, even a pig could become a master.

In some ways, Shibukawa's cheat codes are no worse than Echizen Nanjiro's, and may even be stronger!

...

In the blink of an eye.

Two days have passed.

Shibukawa continues to undergo repetitive and tedious training, but after each training session, seeing the improvement in his skill proficiency fills him with renewed energy.

Meanwhile, Shechuan was leading a fulfilling training life.

Kyushu.

Kumamoto City.

This year's national competition is also coming to an end.

Shishiraku Junior High, the host team, only made it to the semifinals. Meanwhile, Shitenhoji, the perennial runner-up in the Kansai region, was easily defeated by Rikkai University.

The highlight of the finals was the match between the defending champion Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School and Makinofuji Academy, the top-ranked school in the Kansai region.

Everyone expected this to be a thrilling match. But to their surprise, even a player as strong as Makino Fuji was easily crushed by Rikkai with a total score of 3-0.

"That's incredible!"

On the way back, the scene from earlier still inevitably resurfaced in the minds of the Yamabuki group.

"Not only Yukimura, but even Mori didn't make a move this time."

A boy with slicked-back hair, thick eyebrows, and big eyes—who was none other than Higashikata Masami, one of the regulars in the Yamabuki tennis club—exclaimed, "That Sanada in singles 3 is really strong! He took down Makino Fujio's vice-captain in less than 15 minutes!!"

"Yeah, they couldn't fight back at all; they weren't even in the same league."

Shintobe Inakichi, with his mushroom haircut and two leaves on his head, was utterly shocked: "And I just heard the Rikkai players shouting 'Emperor.' If nothing unexpected happens, that will probably become Sanada's nickname in the tennis world."

"The Emperor of Tennis...?"

Uesugi and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

Yes, just thinking about facing a master of that level made them feel a strong sense of pressure.

"emperor?"

At that moment, a sneer rang out: "Don't make us a laughingstock. The only one Rikkai University has to be wary of is that Yukimura."

Who?

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look, only to see a handsome young man with purplish-gray hair and a beauty mark under his right eye leading the group from behind them.

"Hyotei's..."

"That person is... Atobe?!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Yamabuki group immediately perked up.

This year, Yamabuki didn't face Hyotei. During the Metropolitan Tournament, they were eliminated by Seigaku in the semifinals, and in the Kanto Tournament, Yamabuki had even worse luck, facing Rikkai in the first round and being mercilessly eliminated.

therefore.

Many Yamabuki team members believe they are strong, but they simply faced Rikkai. While Hyotei won the Metropolitan Tournament, a victory against Yamabuki is not guaranteed.

Yamabuki's doubles is very strong, and their singles also boast two formidable Kanto-level players, Uesugi and Sengoku. Given this situation, if they can suppress Hyotei in doubles, they might actually win.

"What are you looking at? A bunch of guys who didn't even make it to the national tournament."

A member of the Hyotei team mocked from the crowd.

Under Atobe's leadership, Hyotei's tennis club expanded to over 150 members and was still growing. A force of that size could easily dominate an entire city block, becoming a local yakuza powerhouse.

but.

Despite Hyotei's superior numbers, Yamabuki remained composed. This wasn't a brawl; numbers didn't matter, and ultimately, skill would prevail on the court.

"Even small fry should be aware of their own limitations."

Seeing the indignant expressions of the Yamabuki members, the handsome young man leading Hyotei, their captain Atobe Keigo, couldn't help but sneer. "You agree, don't you, Kabaji?"

"yes!"

Standing beside Atobe, a stocky, simple-looking boy with a buzz cut nodded in agreement.

"asshole!"

This completely escalated the conflict.

One of the hot-tempered Yamabuki captains couldn't take it anymore. Uesugi Kenichi, the captain, also frowned and looked at Atobe: "Isn't your lord a bit too arrogant?"
