Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Snapped!Snapped!

He took out a tennis ball, tapped it lightly twice, then tossed it over as if to hit it.

"How to do!"

Niou's gaze darkened, his fox-like eyes gleaming. He couldn't take the throw-in; hitting it would definitely result in an out. And he didn't possess the pinpoint ball-stopping technique of Echizen from the original story.

The only other option is to keep the tennis ball on the court and fight to the death with your opponent until they exhaust their last bit of energy.

Can……

He couldn't guarantee that his pitiful 1.6 stamina was stronger than the guy opposite him.

"what to do……"

Niou stared intently at Nakajo across from him, his brow furrowed. He ran to receive the ball and hit it back.

As he returned the ball, he stared intently at Nakajo. Suddenly, he noticed a momentary lapse in coordination in Nakajo's movements.

However, upon closer inspection, that feeling was gone.

"That was..."

boom!

However, Nakajo hit the tennis ball over from the opposite side. Before Niou could think, he quickly moved and returned the ball.

tread!

He paused, his eyelids lowered, and his fox-like eyes narrowed as he peered through the slit at Nakajo across from him. The sense of disharmony was gone. But when he shifted his gaze to the tennis ball, that sense of disharmony returned to Nakajo in that instant.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball flew straight in and hit the ground. But Niou's gaze did not waver; it remained fixed on Nakajo.

lol...

The immense pressure made his teeth chatter uncontrollably, his fox-like eyes widened, and the muscles and veins around his eyes were clearly visible.

boom!

The tennis ball landed and then bounced high into the air.

Niou remained unmoved, staring intently into Nakajo's eyes, and finally noticed a change. Everything around them seemed to slow down the instant the tennis ball landed.

He saw it: the point where Nakajo's movements became disjointed after receiving the ball.

"I see!"

Niou's eyes flashed with a sharp light, while Nakajo felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

"Ding!"

The crisp system voice rang out again: "Congratulations, host, you have learned the skill: Weakness Insight lv1 [White]"

"Complete a basic skill and you will be rewarded with 100 points."

P.S.: New book, please add to your favorites, rate it, and give it flowers!!!

Chapter Seven: First Victory

"call……"

Hearing the system notification, Niou let out a long sigh of relief; he had done it. At the same time, he activated the Weakness Insight skill.

"Weakness Insight lv1 [White] Consumes Concentration to see through the opponent's weaknesses. The skill's power increases with its quality."

Upon seeing this skill, Niou's eyes lit up.

The ability to identify weaknesses is somewhat reminiscent of Atobe's ability to see through an opponent's weaknesses, but upon seeing the word 'white,' he estimated that this was merely a beginner level.

"15-0!"

Because of the observation just now, Niou lost a point.

"Heh heh, you actually panicked during the match?" Nakajo chuckled as he held the tennis ball. The pressure from the four consecutive topspin serves had instantly eased.

The jackal outside the arena shook his head and said, "This is bad!"

"Hey……"

Marui smiled noncommittally, then began chewing his bubble gum. His viewpoint was exactly the opposite of Jackal's, because he saw a sly glint in Niou's fox-like eyes.

boom!

The tennis ball was served and landed with a thud on the left side of the Niou court. Because of Nakagawa, even though Nakajo's technique wasn't great, he dared to hit the ball near the sideline. Even for returns that weren't too awkward, he would hit them towards the baseline or near the sideline.

Suddenly, the pressure on Niou increased significantly.

lol...

Niou braked and slid a short distance. However, it was perfectly timed for the tennis ball to land.

"This guy's movements are getting more and more accurate," Jackal couldn't help but marvel. This guy was changing every minute.

As he got into position to hit the ball, Niou looked up, a sharp glint flashing in his fox-like eyes.

Weakness detected, activate!

Hiss...

Suddenly, he felt time around him slowing down. Nakajo's left foot, which was starting to serve, paused unnaturally, revealing an opening behind him.

"Now!"

With a flick of the racket, the tennis ball bounced off the ground and struck hard.

Whoosh!

The tennis ball arced through the air, bypassing the terrified Nakajo, and struck him from behind with a thud.

"15, 15-15..."

Nakagawa frowned, but seeing that the tennis ball was still a long way from the baseline, he dared not be so arrogant.

"Gudu..."

Nakajo swallowed hard, his hand gripping the racket trembling involuntarily. Just now, he had felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake.

He never expected the tennis ball to come from that spot. He didn't notice it, let alone return it.

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence..."

After calming down, he reassured himself. After all, that King Ren's strength wasn't much greater than his own. It was impossible for him to see through his weaknesses.

"Be confident, be confident. With Nakagawa-kun helping me, I can win!"

After regaining his confidence, he tossed the tennis ball up, raised his arm, and smashed it down with his racket.

boom!

But the moment the racket hit the tennis ball, his expression suddenly changed: "Oh no! I hit it too hard! He didn't see it, he definitely couldn't have noticed!"

Whoosh!

As Niou looked at the opponent's hitting point, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. With this shot, there was no need to use 'Weakness Insight' at all, as there were open holes all around Nakajo.

He turned sideways and stretched out his arm, then flicked his racket, hitting the bouncing tennis ball into an open space.

boom!

The tennis ball bounced out, while Nakajo stood frozen in place. "How is this possible?"

Nakagawa frowned, and seeing that Nakajo was already flustered, he simply said, "15-30!"

With his mindset out of balance, Zhongtiao is finished.

He couldn't risk helping a teammate who had no value. He wasn't stupid; by now, those three must know, and they were probably on their way to the tennis court.

If Sanada catches him, he will surely perish along with Nakajo.

boom!

"Game! Niou, 3-2!"

boom!

"Game! Niou, 4-2!"

"This guy..."

In two consecutive rounds, Niou, Marui, and others keenly noticed that Nakagawa's rulings had become fair again.

Niou sighed, "To be opportunistic and to cut one's losses is truly remarkable. Indeed, those who can establish themselves in Rikkai are no fools..."

boom!

As Niou leaped into the air and delivered his final, and first, smash, Nakagawa's voice rang out: "Match over! Niou Masaharu wins! Score 6-2!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations on your victory, host! Rating: A. Reward: 500 points and one skill enhancement card!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on winning your first match! This has triggered a winning streak achievement and awarded you 500 points. Your current winning streak is 1 match!"

Hearing the continuous system notifications, Niou's lips curled into a slight smile: "What beautiful music!"

"impossible!"

At that moment, Nakajo, who had been standing there in a daze, suddenly roared.

Renwang laughed and said, "What, you lost the game and you're not convinced?"

His mocking voice made Nakajo lose his temper even more, and he swung his racket to smash it at Niou.

"Nakajo, are you crazy?" Nakagawa roared as he got off the referee's chair. He didn't want things to escalate today, or he'd be finished if Sanada caught him.

"Naoya Nakagawa, how dare you say that?" Upon seeing Nakagawa, Nakajo completely exploded: "We agreed that you would favor me during the match, but you ended up siding with that kid!"

"Nakajo, are you crazy?"

Nakagawa was furious. There were so many first-year students around. If they developed a rift between them, he would be finished.

"What? They cheated?"

"Is this a lie?"
