Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Niou nodded.

"but……"

But then, the blond and handsome Reinhardt laughed and said, "I think the goddess of victory will ultimately favor us more."

"Perhaps."

Ren-ou remained unmoved, simply smiling faintly as he said, "But in the arena, ultimately, it's strength that matters."

At this moment, he was not as sharp as others had imagined; instead, he was like a ball of cotton, making it impossible for the gentle yet firm Reinhardt to handle him.

Their conversation officially signaled the start of the World Cup final...

Chapter 174 Doubles

boom!

"Match ended! The Japanese team, Chitose Chisato and Tachibana Kippei, won the match 6-2!"

"Whoosh..."

On the other side, Bryant, who was panting heavily while supporting himself on his legs, and another black youth stared in horror at the two youths floating in mid-air opposite them.

Same frequency!

Once they entered a state of perfect harmony and unleashed their beastly aura, the two were far beyond the capabilities of the two mere junior high school students.

"A very bold tactic."

Mifune, sitting on the coach's bench, glanced at Reinhardt, who was smiling and encouraging the two players who had lost the game.

He said, "Knowing that their junior high doubles team is a weakness, they simply sacrificed them. If I'm not mistaken, the next match will probably be their chance to shine."

"Ah."

Noah, standing beside him, nodded in agreement. Reinhardt reminded him of Niou. He didn't dwell on the gains or losses of a single point or game; he was a magnanimous tennis strategist with a global perspective.

Looking at Reinhardt's calm expression, he sighed inwardly: "No wonder, you were the one who fought him to the very end."

This person is probably far more capable than he appears.

"It seems the situation is very favorable for us."

In the stands, Katsuro, beaming with joy, said, "If we can seize this opportunity to press our advantage and win the World Cup, then... then..."

He suddenly stopped speaking at this point.

"What's wrong, Katsuro? You're speaking haltingly."

Horio, who was standing next to her with his eyes closed and gesturing wildly in the air with his hands, frowned and was about to speak when he felt a weight on his shoulder.

"Ouch!"

He cried out in pain. Turning around abruptly, he saw Momoshiro, who was gripping his shoulder, excitedly watching the court.

"Senior Momoshiro..."

He called out, but Momoshiro seemed not to hear him, his hands trembling and shaking.

Beside him, Katsuro, who had been excited, finally uttered the words he had been holding in his mouth: "Ryoma-kun..."

what?

Horio felt a loud bang in his head, and then he turned his head sharply.

Sure enough, on the court, a short figure followed the young man holding an orange, slowly stepping onto the field. It was none other than Seigaku's rising star, their teammate—Echizen Ryoma!

"First it was Captain Tezuka, and now it's Echizen..."

Horio didn't realize that his own hands were trembling. It wasn't excitement or indignation, but a faint, sour, indescribable bitterness.

The two strongest players in Seigaku have actually stood on the opposite side.

Horio's heart ached; his heart, which identified with Seigaku and considered himself a member of Seigaku, trembled and wailed.

Just two days ago, in this very arena, Seigaku suffered an internal conflict. Is today going to be another Seigaku brawl?

Swish!

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the Japanese team.

"call……"

Upon seeing the two people who appeared, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a hint of relief, "Thank goodness, it wasn't Fuji-senpai. Wait a minute! Who were those two just now?"

He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but then suddenly felt a surge of energy. He stared in disbelief at the two players on the court whose aura was in no way inferior to that of the opposing team.

"Ha ha!!"

On the court, with his hands behind his back, the red-haired boy shouted excitedly, "Chaoqian, I can finally play against you!"

"Oh?"

On the U.S. team's coaching bench, Reinhardt's gaze darkened slightly.

Immediately, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Interesting. I didn't expect you to play these two cards. It seems you've figured out my lineup."

"The doubles match will now begin."

Just then, a male voice came from the loudspeaker.

"The Japanese team, Oni Jujiro (senior high school student) and Toyama Kintaro (junior high school student), will face the American team, Echizen Ryuga (senior high school student) and Echizen Ryoma (junior high school student)."

"Uh, this..."

In the stands, spectators from various countries were stunned by the lineup. One person blinked and said, "Two redheads against two greenheads?"

"A lame joke..."

The person next to him twitched his lips, then turned his gaze to the arena.

Both groups of players are very strong. Whether it's the Japanese side or the American side, there is a good mix of high school and junior high school students.

"That guy..."

In the French team, captain Dorian gave a deep look at Long Ya, who was smiling. He had suffered a crushing defeat against him the day before yesterday.

This person's strength is unfathomable!

"Oni Jujiro!"

Looking at the fierce-looking ghost, Gorgia of the Australian team felt a strange sense of dread.

After that day's match, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying the man seemed. And as the World Cup progressed and the strength of players from various countries was continuously displayed, Gorgia couldn't find many who could rival the aura of that man.

This person is probably a very well-hidden member of the Japanese team. What he has shown so far is likely not his full potential.

"Ahead of its time!"

Arriving at the net, Kintaro looked at Echizen and said excitedly, "Finally, we've met again! Let's have a good fight!"

"can."

A sharp glint flashed in Echizen's eyes. He really didn't think much of the middle schoolers on the American team. Even their captain, Bryant, had suffered a crushing defeat in the previous game against the two Kyushu powerhouses.

"Echizen Ryuya!"

"Oni Jujiro!"

On the other side, the two high school students locked onto each other. Ryuga quickly scanned the demon with his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It seems that your strength is not what you showed before."

Ghost's lips curled into a smile, revealing a hint of amusement on his fierce and rugged face: "Your purpose in coming to U-17 was probably to take this little guy away, wasn't it?"

"So……"

"Let's have a showdown!"

Chapter 176 A Flawless Showdown

boom!

A loud bang shook the entire stadium.

In the stands, the spectators looked at the dust-filled stadium with lingering fear. Suddenly, someone's expression changed, and they pointed to the sky, exclaiming, "Quick, look!"

Swish!

Instantly, countless eyes turned towards it.

tennis!

That boy's terrifying smash was actually countered by someone else?

In the Japanese team, Fuji, squinting at the tennis ball in mid-air, calmly said, "It seems that Echizen has completely mastered Ten'i-no-Kami."

If one's strength is insufficient, Kintaro's smash just now could have instantly left them severely injured.

call!

The tennis ball descended rapidly, and a short figure quickly ran towards where it would land.

Qian shook his head violently: "No, he can't reach the tennis ball at his speed."

hum!

At that moment, a white light flashed around Kintaro's body. He had naturally entered a state of perfect safety while running wildly.

"Another one?"

Those who had never seen Kintaro play before were startled when they saw him radiating a faint white aura. While their tennis skills weren't as good as the players, they knew that such a state must be extremely rare.

"no!"

Mitsuya frowned and said, "He landed too late. Even if he had a flawless defense, he couldn't catch up with the ball."

Chi!

But at that moment, when it had fallen to a height of about two meters, the tennis ball suddenly came to a stop.

"That is……"

In the stands, Gorgia's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Black hole!"

That guy called Ghost actually set up a black hole in that location beforehand?

"Thank you so much, Uncle Ghost!"
