Prince of Tennis Fraudster

As the team manager, she was, in a sense, the so-called school team supervisor. Because of her outstanding abilities and the respect that everyone gave to Niou, she naturally rose to the top.

As the only woman, her performance was no less impressive than the other starters. The noisy and chaotic environment around her did not affect her performance at all; her pace was unhurried, and her expression was calm, leaving many people with an impression of being heroic and valiant.

"Hey, not bad, little girl!"

As she handed over the team's starting lineup, Bantian looked at Kitaen with a smile, but a sense of danger crept into her heart.

"Tomida Kanya!"

Bei Yuan knew a little about this man's name. Therefore, she dared not be careless in the slightest regarding the old man's every move.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

She referred to him as a senior, which meant she considered Banta a rival, but she smiled sweetly as she spoke, making it difficult for Banta to retort.

"This little girl is interesting. However, Rikkai's threat doesn't lie with her..."

Banta, with his clear understanding, didn't target the girl. He knew perfectly well that this little girl didn't have much control over Rikkai.

His opponents are Sanada, Yanagi, and that blue-haired guy.

After the lineup was submitted, the team members began to enter the venue and exchange brief greetings.

"I never expected him to still be in Yamabuki!"

Niou narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the tall young man opposite him who had changed into a Yamabuki Main Selection outfit.

Akutsu!

The young man who was looking at him defiantly at that moment was none other than Yamabuki Beast, a man of arrogant character and extremely strong abilities.

"Could it be that the timeline of the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament has changed because of my arrival?"

"Or is it that because the historical trajectory of Nioh has changed in this world, the entire plot of the original Prince of Tennis has already deviated?"

A host of questions flooded Niou's mind, when suddenly a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey kid!"

That voice belongs to Akutsu!

Niou slightly raised his eyelids and saw Akutsu, who was half a head taller than him, with a proud smile on his lips, saying, "I'm fighting three in a row, so don't you dare run away!"

His tone was full of contempt, as if he had Niou completely under his thumb.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Renwang smiled in surprise and then said, "What a coincidence, I also happen to be playing three-on-one!"

His calm tone, as if he had Akutsu completely under his control, ignited a nameless fire within him.

"Oh, right."

At this moment, Renou seemed to remember something and asked with some doubt, "I heard that you quit the tennis club because of your defeat in the tournament. Why are you back now?"

He said that on purpose to conduct a test.

"Humph!"

Before he could finish speaking, Akutsu's expression changed, his ferocious eyes bulged again, and he looked at him coldly, saying, "Kid, you're dead!"

Niou's words seemed to touch a raw nerve. And the wolf lurking in the corner, licking its wound, would bite the neck off anything that came near it!

A thick, menacing aura, undisguised by Akutsu, surged towards Niou. Niou, in turn, emanated a powerful, beastly aura.

"what happened?"

The other starting players from both sides all looked over.

To the great surprise of the Yamabuki group, Akutsu's target of provocation was not Sanada, but the relatively unknown Niou.

The Rikkai members also looked at the gray-haired youth with great surprise. He was exuding the aura of a first-class Kanto native.

"Ding!"

Just as everyone was speculating, a crisp system notification sounded in his mind.

"The host has triggered a hidden chain of quests, [The Legend That Does Not Exist]. The current quest is the first one, [The Beast]. The quest objective is to defeat Akutsu Jin."

Why is there another one?

Niou was filled with doubt. He hadn't even finished his first series of missions yet, so why was another one popping up?

"Legend? Legend? What exactly are these?"

With doubts in his mind, he left the field.

Soon, the first doubles match between Rikkai and Yamabuki began.

Yamabuki Kita Kazuma, Shintomi Inakichi vs. Marui Bunta, Jackal Kuwahara.

Both teams are national-level doubles teams.

P.S.: Thanks to reader [Thin-layer Chromatography] for the reminder. Chapter 26 has been revised, and the Yamabuki lottery result has been changed to number 8.

PS2: Just to clarify, not counting today's 5 updates, I only owe 3. If you don't believe me, go check my update dates and times since the book was published.

Snapped!

The tennis ball hit the net and bounced a few times. Kita, who had rushed forward, was filled with surprise. He struggled to extend his racket, and just as he was about to return the ball, his face suddenly turned deathly pale.

rustle……

The tennis ball rolls gently on the net.

Under the horrified gazes of Kita and Niito, he fell from the other side of the tennis court.

Pat-pat...

"Match ended! Rikkai's Daimaru and Jackals won, score 6-2!"

"Gudu..."

Off the court, many spectators who had come after hearing about the two national-level doubles matches swallowed hard.

"Is this a lie? These are two national-level teams?"

"That's right, what I saw was clearly a massacre!"

"Hiss... Both are national-level, yet there's such a huge gap? Rikkai is actually this strong!"

The audience was abuzz with discussion.

Aside from the first game where they automatically gave up due to observing their opponents, and the game they lost due to the code-based tactics, the remaining six games were practically a massacre!

"Tch, national level? Is that all the level they've got?"

Kirihara curled his lip in disdain. Yamabuki was known as the undefeated doubles team. He had thought that the opponent's doubles team would be very strong, but he didn't expect it to be just this level.

Beside him, the usually stern Sanada did not stop him.

Kirihara was right; the Yamabuki doubles pair was simply too weak. The proof was that Marui and Jackal hadn't removed their weighted wristbands since the start of the match.

"Do not……"

Suddenly, Sanada raised an eyebrow and looked at a certain languid figure. "It's not that Yamabuki is too weak, but that Marui and the others have grown too fast under the high-intensity training."

However, just because he doesn't care about Kirihara doesn't mean everyone else does.

"Humph!"

Two people emerged from the mountain.

One had an afro-like black hair, while the other had her slick hair combed back. They were the Yamabuki First Doubles team, Kentaro Minami and Masami Higashikata, known as the "Potato Army".

Nan was gentle in nature, but the person who spoke had a somewhat feminine name, Dongfang. His gaze towards Kirihara was unfriendly.

tread!

Just then, the sound of light footsteps caught their attention. Two young men emerged from Rikkai's side.

One had its eyes closed, while the other wore reflective glasses, obscuring their expressions.

Liu Lian Er, Liu Sheng Bi Lu Shi.

These two were not a fixed doubles pair. When Yukimura was still around, they often played as the third singles player, so they didn't have many doubles records.

"East!"

"Ok!"

The two Yamabuki exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

The crushing defeat in the doubles match, which had been highly anticipated, plunged Yamabuki's morale into a slump. The cheers from the surrounding crowd were intermittent and lacked energy. They knew very well that the chances of Yamabuki defeating Rikkai were now close to zero.

If we lose this match, then there will truly be no hope left.

"Now we begin the doubles match 1: Rikkai University's Renji Yagyu and Hiroshi Yagyu versus Minami Yamabuki and Masami Higashikata."

As the referee's voice faded, the four players entered the court. After a brief exchange, the two players from Yamabuki were awarded the right to serve.

"Match begins, Minami Yamabuki serves, game one!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Hearing the sound, Nan gently tapped the tennis ball a few times, while observing the positions of the two opponents.

"really!"

Liu and Liu Sheng's positioning was not a standard doubles formation. The gaps between them were too large, creating two small gaps.

Swish! !

At this moment, Dongfang, who was in front, turned his left hand behind his back and quickly changed the position of his fingers a few times.

"That's amazing! No wonder they're the Yamabuki team's number one doubles pair. Most people can't even see that kind of hand speed, right?"

"Indeed, but the opponent is Liu, the data tennis master is not just a name."

"Haha, that's good. Otherwise, if Rikkai just had a one-sided massacre victory, the match wouldn't be very interesting."

Amid the murmurs, a young man wearing white reflective glasses scribbled down information about Yamabuki and the other man in his notebook.

"They are indeed very impressive. Compared to the last major competition, their code seems to have changed again."
