Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!"

At that moment, increasingly louder slogans reached the area. The sounds, like muffled thunder, pounded on the nerves of the group.

"This……"

The group stared wide-eyed; even from such a distance, the sound seemed right next to them. It was unimaginable how terrifying the sounds must have been.

"Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!"

At stadium number 11, where Rikkai and Hyotei are located, people felt as if they were at a concert by world-class superstars, with intense chants impacting everyone's senses.

"This... is Hyotei's support team?"

Saori Shiba, dressed in a pink business suit, stared in disbelief as more and more young men in Hyotei grey-white coats gradually appeared around her.

"That's right, this is Hyotei's 200-person support group."

Beside her, Inoue, dressed in his unchanging attire, became serious: "Tennis matches are not just about technique and experience; the mental fortitude of the players is also a crucial factor."

"The atmosphere at the scene is one of the important factors that affects the contestants' psychology."

Saori Shiba nodded as if she understood, and exclaimed, "Indeed, the scene is practically like Hyotei's home ground. This is probably very disadvantageous for Rikkai."

"No!"

At that moment, a tall young man wearing a blue and white coat and reflective glasses walked over to the two of them. He was none other than Qian, who had come to investigate the data.

He said, "Take a closer look. Does Rikkai seem to be in a very passive position?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked up and simultaneously revealed strange expressions on their faces.

indifferent!

The faces of Rikkai's regular players are all cold and indifferent, revealing nothing of their inner thoughts. Of course, there are exceptions.

"That guy..."

Within Hyotei, a young man with wine-red hair squinted at Niou and said, "Under such a formidable presence, he's still smiling so happily? Could it be a bluff?"

"Xiangri!"

Suddenly, a calm yet slightly cold voice rang out, causing the wine-red-haired youth, Mukahi Gakuto, to tremble slightly.

"You need to understand, Hyotei doesn't keep useless people. And Rikkai, who has won the Kanto Tournament for fifteen consecutive years, would never keep idiots."

Upon understanding the implied meaning, Xiang Ri quickly composed himself, but secretly clenched his fist and said, "What fifteen-year reign? It ends today!"

tread!

At that moment, a slightly heavy footstep sounded. Hearing the sound, everyone from Hyotei, including Atobe, looked over and called out, "Coach Sakaki!"

The man was wearing a sharp light red suit, and his light brown hair was carefully combed, making him look fashionable yet elegant. He was none other than Taro Sakaki, the coach of Hyotei Academy.

At 43, he has the face of a 25-year-old, with delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, and well-defined features that are hard to fault. Compared to the younger members of the team, he is in no way inferior in appearance.

But the subtle charm in his eyes and the mature composure in his demeanor gave this man an allure that women found irresistible.

"Wow……"

Off the court, Saori Shiba's eyes sparkled with hearts as she gazed in the direction of Hyotei with a look of pure bliss. Beside her, Inoue shook his head helplessly at Inui.

"Ok!"

Sakaki nodded slightly and gave Atobe an approving look.

This simple sentence not only served as a wake-up call to the impulsive Xiang Ri, but also made the other regulars realize the level of opponents they were facing.

Sakaki walked past the crowd toward the coach's bench.

"Ok?"

Upon recognizing Rikkai's manager, he raised an eyebrow slightly. Then, a captivating smile appeared on his face: "Hello!"

"Hello there!"

Kitaen stood up and responded softly, neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm expression, which surprised Sakaki slightly.

He smiled and said, "I hope neither of us will have any regrets in this match."

"Wait and see."

Bei Yuan smiled and nodded, but her tone remained calm, even revealing a hint of coldness.

The two sat down, each lost in their own thoughts. Just then, a clear female voice announced, "The match between Hyotei Academy and Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School will begin now."

"Two doubles, Hyotei Ninzu Yushi and Mugahigatake, facing off against Umimarui Bunta and Kuwabara Jackal!"

"here we go……"

Inoue gently woke the dazed Shiba Saori. The woman came to her senses and quickly took out her camera, snapping a close-up shot of each of the two contestants.

After both sides gambled on possession, they retreated to their respective backfields and formed their respective formations.

On the Hyotei side, the slender, wine-red-haired youth with gleaming eyes was jumping around continuously.

Saori Shiba, who was about to press the camera shutter, paused and exclaimed, "He jumped so high!"

"Ah."

Inui, standing next to him, nodded, opened his notebook, and said, "Gakuto Mukahi, a third-year student at Hyotei Academy, is agile and has excellent jumping ability. He is a very sharp net player."

However, his gaze shifted to the young man holding a tennis ball behind Xiang Ri.

With his shoulder-length dark blue hair and handsome features, it was hard to look away from him. This man was none other than Yuushi Oshitari, known as the genius of Hyotei.

Qian said in a deep voice, "This is a national-level doubles team!"

Meanwhile, the duo of Marui and Jackal is already well-known. Their excellent teamwork has ensured victory in every match from the regional tournaments to the Kanto tournament, living up to their reputation as the "Golden Duo of Rikkai."

"Ah."

Inoue nodded and said, "This match is sure to be very exciting."

The referee assessed both players' condition and nodded, announcing, "The match begins. Hyotei's Oshitari serves. End of set!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Shinobu gently patted the tennis ball, his gaze sweeping lightly over his opponents. Unlike the original story, he wasn't facing the makeshift pair of Momoshiro and Kikumaru, but one of the nation's top doubles teams.

call!

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. He tossed the tennis ball up and simultaneously raised his racket to smash it down.

boom!

With a soft click, the tennis ball shot out quickly.

"So fast!"

Inoue exclaimed in surprise from the stands, but on the Rikkai side, the Jackal moved quickly like a nimble cheetah to catch the ball.

With a shift in his gaze, Inoue looked in the direction of the coach, scrutinized Sakaki closely, and said, "Hyotei's coach has been keeping his real regular players under wraps until the Kanto Tournament. It seems he has his sights set on winning the Kanto Tournament."

To win the championship, one will inevitably face Rikkai.

Therefore, before the Kanto Tournament, Sakaki kept his doubles players under wraps, and their latest information, playing styles, and formations were unknown to the outside world.

"Look, Marui's online!"

At that moment, Saori Shiba put down her camera, pointed to the court with her left hand, and saw Marui quickly move to the net after hitting an excellent short ball.

"Ah……"

A disdainful laugh came from Hyotei's side.

Swish!

A figure descended from the sky, his body spun lightly in mid-air, and his racket lightly tapped the tennis ball, sending it flying towards Marui's left front.

Bang!

"15-0!"

tread!

Xiang Ri's body twirled in mid-air before gently landing.

Saori Shiba blinked and said, "This player from Hyotei... his style is a lot like Kikumaru's special shot from Seigaku..."

However, compared to Kikumaru's net-front attacks, Mukahi's movements were lighter and more exaggerated.

"indeed."

Qian quickly jotted down notes in his notebook, then added, "However, such strenuous exercise must be quite taxing on one's physical strength, right?"

call!

As the jackal returned the ball with his backhand, Shinobu, who was running quickly, suddenly noticed something and made a powerful smashing motion.

Tap tap!

Upon seeing this, the jackal quickly retreated.

Snapped!

However, Shinobu's soccer racket gently sliced ​​through the tennis racket, sending it flying.

Pat-pat...

A fairly standard short ball.

"30-0!"

"Great!"

Inoue couldn't help but exclaim, "To make such a bold move in a national-level match, and the quality of that short ball was exceptionally high, just who is this Oshitari?"

"I don't know..."

Inui shook his head and said, "I've watched Hyotei's previous matches. Although he played in all of them, his main offensive weapon was Mukahi. Shinobu's performance was just average..."

Shinobu's performance was not particularly outstanding.

However, having observed Hyotei's two matches, Inui had a vague feeling that the true core of this doubles team was Oshitari.
