Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"Game! Li Hai, 4-3!"

Just as he said, Rikkai has begun its counterattack.

Involuntarily, Niou's guess on the way home yesterday came to mind. He had correctly predicted both doubles matches at Hyotei, even the approximate number of games.

Just now, Atobe, who went out to warm up with his racket, once again proved Niou's guess that the opponent's singles third player was Atobe!

"That idiot is getting smarter and smarter!"

As Niou's strength continued to grow, Kitazono gradually felt that the pressure on him was also increasing.

"It seems I can't hesitate any longer..."

While she was distracted, Yagyu once again scored three points with his laser beam, bringing the game to a close.

"40-0!"

"Whoosh..."

Behind Shishido, one could hear Feng's rapid breathing.

"No, if this continues, Chotaro's stamina won't hold up."

Feng's stamina isn't particularly strong, but he can still manage a full tiebreak. However, in the last two service games, he used instant serves to score, which took a toll on his energy.

The "Double Shadow Mirage" formation is a newly created technique, and it requires a high degree of teamwork and consumes more energy than other formations.

"Ah……"

Across from them, Liu Qing smiled and said, "This is the second weakness of your formation: it can't last long."

Although the Shadow Formation is strong, the area that can be defended is greatly reduced when the two overlap at one point. With their speed, they simply cannot keep up with Yagyu's laser beam.

The second point is physical strength.

"Chōtarō!"

"It's alright, Shishido-senpai, I can manage."

"This……"

Shishido frowned, then suddenly his eyes lit up when he saw Yanagi with his eyes closed.

Tap tap!

The two ran quickly, their movements remaining largely synchronized, but Feng's stamina was waning too rapidly. The entire formation was showing signs of weakness.

On the other side, Liu stepped forward, forcing the two to hit the tennis ball to the backcourt.

"Hmph! Since we can't catch up to that guy's laser ball, then..."

A sharp glint flashed in Shishido's eyes, and he aimed his racket at Yanagi as he moved to the net, then slammed it down.

boom!

The tennis ball flew out at high speed, aiming straight for Liu's face. It was a very dangerous close-range shot!

"That idiot!"

However, Sakaki cursed under his breath, his gaze towards Shishido revealing a hint of coldness and worry...

Swish!

Almost simultaneously, Liu crossed his arms in front of him... Watching the tennis ball fly towards him, he smiled and quickly opened his arms.

"Kamaitachi!"

puff!

The tennis ball was instantly spun back, creating a whirlwind that rushed towards the horrified Shishido. The powerful wind struck him, sending him and the phoenix behind him flying several meters away.

"Game! Li Hai, 4-4!"

bump!

bump!

The two crashed to the ground. Shishido, enduring the excruciating pain, quickly scrambled to his feet and asked, "Chōtarō, are you alright?"

"fine!"

Feng gritted her teeth, stood up, dusted herself off, and went to the service area.

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

Seeing the two stand up again, a strong cheer erupted from all around.

call!

Feng tossed the tennis ball up, raised her right hand high with the racket, and slammed it down.

"One goal~ Enter the soul!"

boom!

The tennis ball was hit with great speed, causing the ordinary players to clench their fists secretly.

Tap tap!

However, Yagyu, moving quickly, managed to return the tennis ball just as it bounced off the ground.

boom!

"0-15!"

"Serve...?"

Shishido's expression changed. He turned to look at Ootori, who was struggling to raise her racket and unleashing another powerful serve. He gritted his teeth, a tear welling up in his eye: "That's enough. Let's stop here!"

boom!

On the other side, Liu moved quickly and hit the tennis ball with a backhand to the open space next to Feng, who couldn't even react.

"0-30!"

"Stop it!"

"No, Shishido-senpai, I can still hold on..."

Shishido's face hardened, and he suddenly turned around, grabbed Ootori's hand as she was about to throw the ball, and turned to the referee, saying, "Referee, we forfeit this match."

"Shishido!"

Mukahi and the others were startled, but then they saw him calmly looking in Sakaki's direction: "Coach Sakaki, I, Shishido Ryo, will take full responsibility for this competition."

He must pay the price for his immaturity.

"No!"

Feng immediately spoke up: "This is a doubles match, it's not just Shishido-senpai's responsibility. If there's to be a punishment, then disqualify me too!"

He knew very well that Sakaki absolutely could not tolerate failure. And he would not use someone who had failed again, let alone someone like Shishido who had been defeated twice in a row.

Sakaki frowned, waved his right hand in front of him like a conductor's baton, and said coldly, "Step back!"

Meanwhile, the referee announced: "Since Hyotei forfeited, the Rikkai-Yagyu duo wins."

Rikkai's two consecutive victories silenced Hyotei's cheering squad, plunging them back into the shadow of defeat.

"Echizen Ryuma?"

A soft laugh suddenly came from behind the boy who was practicing in front of the wall.

"Who?"

The boy was startled, but calmly turned around. However, when he saw the person who had come, his dark green pupils suddenly contracted.

"It's him?"

The smiling blue-haired youth in front of him made Echizen very uncomfortable. He hadn't felt this way even when facing the unruly Akutsu.

The other party seemed to be his natural enemy.

He frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed his expression and asked, "Senior, is there something you need?"

"nothing."

Niou shook his head and laughed, "I just want to see what the son of the legendary samurai Nanjiro looks like."

Upon hearing the name 'Nanjiro,' Echizen's pupils contracted again, but his expression turned colder.

He said coldly, "My dad is my dad, and I am me. My tennis is destined to be different from his."

"is it?"

Niou smiled knowingly, his fox-like eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "Your topspin serve, one-legged footwork, two-handed style, dynamic vision, and even your playing style and your thinking about tennis all bear traces of Nanjiro."

"This guy..."

Every time Niou revealed a powerful move, Echizen's heart sank. But after his battle with Tezuka, his path ultimately diverged from that of the former Nanjiro, and his personality also became much more restrained.

His expression softened, and he said, "Senior, if there are no other questions, I'll take my leave now."

"I have one more question."

Niou's smile faded, and he asked seriously, "Why did Nanjiro-senpai retire early?"

"This……"

Echizen frowned, somewhat confused about the man's intentions.

Gathering intelligence? Unlikely!

Disrupting emotions? That's so low-level!

"Could it be that he's really just a fan of the old man?"

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, Echizen shook his head and said, "I don't really know about this either."

Seeing that Ren-wang wanted to ask something else, his expression turned cold again: "Sorry, I have to go back to the competition."

After saying that, Echizen turned and walked away. But after taking only a few steps, Niou's words made him freeze.

"Echizen, you're probably not at Tezuka's level yet, are you?"

Echizen's expression changed, but he didn't stop and utter any harsh words as Niou had expected. However, the boy deeply engraved the name 'Niou Masaharu' in his heart.
