Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Although Hyotei had no hope of winning the championship, he didn't want Rikkai to win it either. Deep down, he was the kind of person who liked to break the rules and was happy to see authority overturned.

"uncertain……"

Ju, standing beside him, surprisingly shook his head. Recalling the look in this boy's eyes during his match against Ibu in the regional tournament, he said, "Tennis is inherently unpredictable!"

Although he was well aware of the huge gap between the boy and Sanada.

Snapped!

Snapped!

After switching courts, Echizen gently tapped the tennis ball.

Sanada's serve was indeed fast, but not to the point where he couldn't see it. Looking up at that incredibly focused face, a slight smile played on his lips.

"This is what makes a competition interesting..."

call!

He tossed the tennis ball into the air, tiptoed, raised his racket high, pressed it forward, and leaned his body forward as well. The whole process was smooth and natural, which impressed onlookers.

boom!

The tennis ball bounced and shot quickly towards the opposite court.

"Interesting, this first-year's serve, but..." Yanagi's gaze fell on Sanada, who was moving quickly toward the tennis ball, and he sighed softly, "Genichiro is getting serious!"

Swish!

Sanada, catching up with the tennis ball, held his racket horizontally, his entire aura suddenly hardening. Instantly, a powerful momentum surged towards Echizen.

"I said this match would only take fifteen minutes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanada swung his racket out sharply.

boom!

Momoshiro exclaimed in surprise, "So fast!"

Haitang's viper-like eyes widened: "It's even faster than that serve! This Sanada..."

tread!

At that moment, Echizen moved quickly toward the tennis ball, swung his racket, and intercepted it just before it bounced off the ground.

"Did you receive it?"

The Rikkai members were startled, while Niou's expression changed slightly.

"Echizen, without the battles against Sanada and Atobe as in the original story, has actually grown even faster?"

"wrong!"

His expression changed slightly as he looked at Tezuka, who was standing with his arms crossed in front of him at Seigaku. This man's tennis skills put even more pressure on Echizen than Sanada and Atobe did.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly: "The effects of the Kanto lottery have finally appeared."

Tap tap!

Similarly, Sanada, who was running quickly, also had a slight change in expression.

"This first-year student seems to have some skill, but as I said, this match will only last fifteen minutes!"

Catching up with the tennis ball, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he raised his racket again. In an instant, he slammed it down.

boom!

"Hiss..." Kikumaru gasped, shocked. "Now we can't see anything at all!"

Tap tap!

But the boy continued to move quickly, extending his racket horizontally, and with a bang, intercepted Sanada's return shot once again.

"Hey!"

He smacked the tennis ball and said with a smirk, "Your backswing is indeed very fast, but I'm already used to the same backswing speed."

Same backswing speed?

Everyone was stunned, while Sanada was startled. Within Seigaku, only one person knew how fast his racket was drawn!

"Tezuka!"

Sanada glanced at Tezuka, whose expression remained cold and unchanged, and his heart sank slightly: "It seems you had already anticipated this outcome?"

"Oh?"

On the contrary, Longzaki, who was sitting on the coach's bench, showed a surprised expression after hearing Echizen's words.

"So, this is the result of the training..."

"Hmph, you underestimate me too much, Tezuka!"

Sanada, who had raised his racket and assumed a swinging stance, suddenly smirked. "That last swing only used about 6% of my power!"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and his entire demeanor suddenly hardened as he swung his racket out with a powerful blow.

boom!

The tennis ball shot out like a gust of wind.

"Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain!"

In the stands, Atobe narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looking at the ball's return, which seemed to come at a lightning speed, Kamio asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, fierce as fire, immovable as a mountain!"

Orange said in a deep voice, "These are the four pillars of Sanada's formidable strength, and each of their moves is quite terrifying!"

Recalling the players who had completely lost their fighting spirit after being defeated by Sanada with these four moves in last year's national tournament, Tachibana's expression became extremely solemn.

"Look!"

Just then, the sharp-eyed Tachibana An pointed at Echizen on the court and said, "That Echizen, he moves so fast!"

"That is...?"

Kamio's expression froze when he saw Kirihara's actions.

"Oh?"

Seeing Echizen moving towards the tennis ball at incredible speed, Tachibana raised an eyebrow: "Kamio, this guy's footwork is very similar to yours..."

Tap tap!

As Echizen ran, a wisp of milky white aura emanated from his body, giving him an even more mysterious air.

He caught up with the tennis ball and quickly swung his racket.

boom!

The tennis ball flew out at supersonic speed, like a shot breaking the sound barrier, and hit Sanada's feet.

"15-0!"

Swish!

Pointing his racket at Sanada across the table, Echizen smirked and said, "You still have lots more to work on!"

As he finished speaking, the milky-white vortex around him rose higher and higher, making his aura appear even more ethereal.

"The state of no-self?"

Sanada's gaze darkened, while Longzaki's eyes widened further. "Is this also the result of special training?"

"The state of selflessness?"

They were startled when they recalled what Hyotei coach Taro Sakaki had said earlier.

But Shinobu raised an eyebrow, puzzled, and said, "But the selflessness of the first-year students at Seigaku is different from that of Niou."

"Ah!"

At this moment, Atobe shook his head with a cold laugh and said, "Because what that Niou used was not the state of 'no-self' at all!"

"what?"

Everyone was startled and immediately turned to look in the direction of Rikkai. They saw Niou calmly watching Echizen surrounded by a milky white vortex.

"Then, what did the King of Benevolence use?"

"I don't know."

Atobe shook his head and said, "Perhaps, that's his inherent ability..."

As he spoke, he carefully examined Echizen's so-called 'state of selflessness'. As he looked, he suddenly paused.

"That is……"

Just a moment ago, a familiar, subtle feeling flashed by. However, it was much weaker than what Atobe had felt on Echizen last week.

"Oh?"

In the stands, a middle-aged man dressed in a black monk's robe and wearing sunglasses had his brows furrowed.

"This change is..."

It was subtle, but as a former world-class professional player, his insight far surpassed that of Atobe. His heart sank, but he then sighed and gave a helpless smile.

"Long Ma, perhaps after this, it will all depend on your own talent. Your tennis journey will be fraught with difficulties..."

"Hmph, the state of 'no-self'?"

Sanada raised the corner of his mouth and assumed a ready stance: "It seems that Seigaku is not without capable people after all."

Crack!

Just then, a strange noise rang out, making the Rikkai players' eyelids twitch. Looking up, they saw Echizen half-jumping and hitting the tennis ball hard.

boom!

The tennis ball trembled and then flew at incredible speed towards Sanada on the other side, spinning rapidly after landing.
