Prince of Tennis Fraudster

boom!

The tennis ball passed by Shinobu, whose face was gloomy.

"Game! Li Hai, 3-5!"

Feng asked blankly, "Shinobu-senpai's Giant Bear Counterattack... has been broken?"

Inui sighed, "Hyotei is in trouble..."

He roughly guessed what moves Shinobu was going to use, but because of that, he had given up hope for Hyotei in this match.

With his signature move broken, Mukahi lost all fighting spirit. As for Oshitari, after a series of battles where he single-handedly withstood attacks from two Kanto-level fighters, he too had lost his composure.

"No, my view is exactly the opposite of yours."

Inoue, standing nearby, shook his head and said, "The way that Shinobu did it gave me the feeling that it wasn't just about trying to turn the tide."

His eye for detail, or his ability to analyze information, may not be as sharp as Qian's. But having been a tennis journalist for over a decade, he does possess a unique perspective on how to analyze a situation.

"Look!"

At that moment, Saori Shiba, who was staring at the camera lens and preparing to take a picture, suddenly stopped and exclaimed in surprise, "Hyotei's other player..."

"Oh?"

The two turned around and their expressions changed.

Xiang Ri opened his eyes again.

"I see."

Inui suddenly realized, and exclaimed in surprise, "That Shinobu was actually buying time for his teammates!"

Knowing Mukahi's personality well, Inui assumed from the start that his opponent had already given up the match. But he didn't expect that Hyotei's tactics were the same as Seigaku's match against St. Rudolph: Shinobu was buying Mukahi time to recover.

"Yuushi, I'm sorry!"

Having regained his normal complexion, Mukahi stepped forward and patted the tired-looking Shinobu on the shoulder.

"nothing."

Shinobu shook his head. The match just now was indeed very difficult, but it also allowed him to gather some good information.

Xiang Ri nodded and said, "Alright, let's show them our true abilities!"

"Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!"...

Seeing this, the Hyotei supporters around them shouted deafening slogans once again.

Snapped!

Snapped!

However, two clear voices, as if by magic, abruptly silenced the cheers from all around.

"That is……"

Xiang Ri's smile froze, his eyes trembling as he stared in disbelief at his opponent who was constantly twisting his wrist. In front of each of them was a weighted wrist guard.

"Power Drill?"

"Gudu..."

Gasps of astonishment rose from all around the stadium.

"Pfft!"

Marui popped his bubble gum, smiled, and flashed a peace sign, saying, "It's time to end the game."

boom!

"Match ended! Rikkai Marui and Jackals won, score 6-3!"

Facing the two Rikkai players who had fully unleashed their power, Shinobu barely managed to defend himself, while Mukahi once again became the target of their attacks, and his stamina was completely exhausted before the end of the match.

Rikkai easily won the first match 6-3.

Snapped!

Sakaki stood up expressionlessly, walked to the middle of Hyotei's regular players, and scolded the two who had lost the match.

Then, he exchanged a glance with Atobe.

"Ok!"

The latter nodded slightly and said, "Shishido, this match is your chance to prove yourself!"

"Don't worry, Atobe!"

Shishido, wearing his hat backwards, and Ootori, with a serious expression, walked out and headed towards the arena.

"Oh?"

Upon seeing the two, Inui pushed up his glasses and said, "Shishido, you suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Tachibana during the tournament and was reportedly dropped from the starting lineup by the coach. I never expected you to team up with someone else in doubles?"

It's them!

Meanwhile, Kitazono, sitting on the coach's bench, suddenly brightened up. Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ootori—it was exactly the same thing Niou had said.

"Could it be that these two are also at the national level in doubles?"

"Plop~"

From the direction of Rikkai, a figure with a slightly hunched back stood up, tucked a racket under his arm, and swayed as he walked out of the court.

"What is he doing..."

Atobe, with his keen senses, narrowed his eyes, only snapping back to reality when the figure disappeared from his sight.

Sakaki, who was about to return to his seat, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Atobe shook his head, but the slight raising of his eyebrows made Sakaki feel a little uneasy.

He said in a deep voice, "Atobe, as the department head, you should be aware of the responsibilities you bear, right?"

"Ok!"

Atobe nodded and said, "I know."

After giving him a deep look, Sakaki returned to his coaching position, pointed his finger forward like a conductor's baton, and said, "Double 1, Shishido, Ootori, go!"

"Yes!"

The two nodded and stepped onto the field.

On Rikkai's side, Yanagi, with his eyes closed, and Yagyu, with a calm expression, walked forward together.

"willow!"

Sakaki's eyes narrowed slightly, while Atobe's expression also changed.

They never expected that in the match against Hyotei, the opposing team would send one of the Big Three, Ryu, to the doubles.

"Now, let's begin the doubles match 1: Hyotei's Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ootori versus Rikka's Renji Kairyu and Hiroshi Yagyu!"

"It's him……"

Shishido's expression changed slightly. Unlike Ootori, who was relatively simple-minded and didn't care much about news from the junior high school tennis world, he was very clear about Yanagi's strength.

Perhaps their physical attributes aren't top-notch, but their tennis statistics are absolutely top-notch nationwide, perhaps even unmatched.

And data happens to be the nemesis of doubles.

Silently pondering, Shishido stepped forward with an unchanging expression and shook hands with the two. After gaining the right to serve, he gave the serve to Ootori, then stood at the net, slightly bowing his head.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Feng grabbed the tennis ball in her hand, lifted it with one hand and tossed it upwards, raising her right arm high.

"One goal~ Enter the soul!"

boom!

With a loud thud, the tennis ball transformed into a pale yellow flash, instantly striking the effective area between Liu and Liu Sheng, bouncing off and embedding itself in the wire mesh.

"15-0!"

Qian exclaimed in shock, "Wow, so fast!"

"That ball just now..."

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Yagyu pushed up his glasses and said, "It seems the other side has brought out something extraordinary right from the start!"

"Ah!"

Shishido smirked, staring at Yanagi opposite him, and said softly, "Chōtarō, defeat them!"

boom!

"Game! Hyotei, 1-0, switch sides!"

Feng hit four consecutive quick serves, and Hyotei easily won the service game.

"Hyotei!" "Hyotei!" "Hyotei!"...

Seeing this, the cheering squad's morale soared, sweeping away the gloom of their previous loss. The shouts of "Hyotei" echoed throughout the stadium, growing louder and louder.

"Oh?"

In the distance, Niou, lying on the grass, slowly opened his squinted eyes. "It seems it has already begun."

Although it was Shishido and Ootori's first appearance together, their chemistry and teamwork were already at a national level.

"I wonder if they've developed that formation... But even if they have, it'll probably be Liu's for the taking, right?"

The impression Liu gave Ren-ou was different from that of the strategist in the original work. His strength was definitely at the national level, and for such a data master, doubles was his true stage.

boom!
