Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"and many more!"

Renwang, who was preparing to return the ball, suddenly let it slip by. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Dao: "Let's end this match here."

This was merely a test of the venue's conditions, not a real competition. Besides, Niou's eyes glanced at the ankles encased in willow-colored socks.

He laughed and said, "I hope that in the intra-school competition, I can actually have a match with you."

"Me too."

With her eyes tightly closed, Liu looked at the blue wristband on Renwang's wrist with a half-smile.

"Ah!"

The two exchanged a smile, shook their heads, and walked off the court. They both knew that their opponent had been holding back a significant portion of their strength, and if they continued playing, they might lose control.

"Forehead……"

As for Kirihara, he stared blankly at the backs of the two leaving the court, muttering to himself, "Are all data tennis players this kind of lunatic?"

After leaving the competition, the four sat on some cleaned stones and chatted about the scenery.

Before long, Liu Sheng and the jackal returned from gathering firewood. The amount they brought was enough for three days' worth of firewood.

The group gathered together, and Jackal vividly described his experiences in the mountains. Gradually, Kirihara, who was naturally hyperactive, also began to describe the large fish he had seen by the river.

"It's a pity, if I had the tools, I would have caught a few..."

The thought of eating the succulent fish made Kirihara's mouth water. At that moment, Yanagi frowned and said, "Genichiro, why has he been gone until now..."

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the group sank slightly.

Although Sanada usually acts very assertive, this is a mountain forest, and those wild beasts won't communicate with him using tennis balls.

Kirihara said with some concern, "How about we go..."

"No!"

Renwang, however, said with a serious expression, "Finding someone in the vast mountains is harder than climbing to heaven. If we can't find him and a few more get lost, that would be the worst-case scenario."

"This……"

Not only Kirihara, but even the hot-headed Jackal calmed down. Looking at the solemn-faced Niou, the two couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Niou laughed and said, "Start a fire!"

Ok?

Immediately, the three of them had a bright idea in their eyes.

Kirihara and the jackal reacted at the same time, gathering the hay and firewood together with joyful expressions. But then, both of them stopped at the same time.

Kirihara glanced awkwardly at the jackal, who wore the same expression. Marui, chewing bubble gum, twitched his lips and widened his eyes, saying, "You guys don't run out of fire, do you?"

The two nodded blankly.

Marui glanced at Yanagi, who shook his head. Yanagi shook his head as well. "I wonder who'll be carrying fire on them after coming back here for special training?"

Niou, who was carefully searching for wilderness survival skills, smiled bitterly to himself. He raised his head and said calmly, "I have a way."

"Ok?"

Immediately, Kirihara and the others looked over at the same time.

"Kirihara, go find a piece of wood. Jackal, you go find a sturdy branch. Leave the rest to me."

The two nodded and set off, soon finding wood and branches.

Renwang first took out a small knife and sharpened the branch, then took out a rubber band, a prank tool he always carried, tied the branch into a bow shape, and then tied the sharpened branch to the bow.

With a slight smile, Niou placed the tool on the dry wood and began to rub it quickly.

"This guy..."

Seeing Niou's skillful operation, a series of questions arose in the minds of the group.

Chapter Thirteen: Food [3/5, Please Subscribe!]

Hiss...

Soon, the sawdust that had sprouted from the dry firewood began to emit black smoke.

"Great!"

Seeing Niou's practiced movements, Yanagi and Yagyu nodded secretly. In their hearts, they already regarded Niou as someone who had spent time in the wilderness training camp.

Jackal and Kirihara, on the other hand, looked horrified.

puff!

Suddenly, the wood chips, which were getting hotter and hotter, burst into flames. Niou quickly stopped what he was doing and skillfully added more wood chips, and the fire gradually grew bigger.

With a spark, the group quickly started a large fire. Renwang, a thought struck him, and he gathered some stones to surround the fire pit, in case of an accident.

Before long, wisps of black smoke rose into the sky from the heart of the forest.

"Hmm? Which direction is that?"

Sanada, who had gotten lost in the woods due to an accident, saw black smoke in the distance.

A pool of black blood splattered on him. It wasn't his, but the blood of the headless black snake he was carrying.

He originally wanted to find some fruit to fill his stomach, but he was attacked by this guy. He dodged and ran all the way, and finally, after dodging the last attack, Sanada grabbed a wooden stick from the roadside and cleaved the black snake in two with lightning speed.

The rough wooden stick was no different from a sharpened wooden knife in his hands.

But because he was so focused on running, Sanada forgot the way back. He also lost the fruit and could only go back carrying a black snake.

Upon seeing the black smoke, Sanada suppressed his excitement and frowned slightly, saying, "Someone among them actually brought fire?"

Is it Liu, or Liu Sheng, whose intuition is always very accurate?

"Or perhaps, it's that guy?"

With that thought in mind, Sanada decided to return along the same route. A little over ten minutes later, he reappeared before the group.

"Vice Minister!"

Kirihara's face lit up with joy, but when he saw what Sanada was holding, his body trembled involuntarily: "A snake?"

Kirihara, who was naturally afraid of these cold-blooded reptiles, quietly moved backward.

"Because of this guy, a lot of time was wasted, and the fruit we found was lost..."

bump!

As he spoke, Sanada threw the black thing on the ground and said uncertainly, "I don't know if this thing is edible."

"This is?"

After glancing at the black snake on the ground and carefully examining its length and scales, Renwang frowned and said, "This snake is highly venomous!"

Highly poisonous!

The group was startled. Sanada stared at the black snake with some hesitation, while Liu asked, "Niou, are you sure?"

If it really is poisonous, these people will probably die here.

"Ah."

Nodding emphatically, Renwang said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is a black tiger snake, a very famous venomous snake from Australia, listed as one of the world's top ten venomous snakes. It should not be eaten lightly."

As he spoke, he looked at Sanada, who was completely unharmed, and blinked, saying, "You're really lucky. If it had bitten you, even a god couldn't have saved you in ten minutes."

Hiss...

At that moment, everyone saw that the venomous snake Sanada had brought back was dripping black blood onto the leaves, from which wisps of black smoke rose. Within seconds, the branches were corroded into dust.

"hiss……"

Even the strong-willed Sanada couldn't help but gasp, feeling extremely frightened.

As Niou said, he was indeed very lucky to survive.

"But what about food today?" Kirihara glanced fearfully at the black ground and said, "I only brought some snacks, which are probably only enough for three people to eat one meal."

Marui frowned and said, "I only brought two homemade cakes."

Yagyu: "Green tea..."

Liu: "Nioh's latest formula beverage..."

Niou shrugged and said, "I didn't bring any food."

The group exchanged glances, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Sanada raised an eyebrow and said, "How about I go again?"

"no need."

At this moment, Niou stood up, loosened his muscles and bones, and said with a smile, "Leave the food to me."

Swish!

Immediately, everyone except Sanada turned to look at him. Their gazes held a mixture of shock, disbelief, and anticipation…

"Kirihara, Jackal, Sanada, you come with me."

As he spoke, he led the group along the path to the stream. After looking around the riverbank, Ren-ou, under the puzzled gazes of the others, took out a small knife and found some tree branches to cut.

He took off his shoes and went into the water, then sized up the surface of the water a few times, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"Go!"

With a soft shout, Niou hurled the branch in his hand.

Bang!

With a soft sound, a few streaks of blood rose to the surface of the water.

blah blah blah...

He lifted the branch, calmly took off the palm-sized black fish from it, smiled, and threw it ashore.

Kirihara stared blankly at Niou's retreating figure, muttering softly, "It's... that simple..."

Is it simple?

Sanada, however, did not think so. Niou's actions just now combined speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness into one strike. Explosive power and control were all required to be extremely high.

More importantly, even in the face of interference conditions such as half a meter of water and the reflection of light in the shimmering waves, Niou can still deliver a fatal blow.
