Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Bang!

The tennis ball was hit, heading towards Yagyu's position. However, a figure appeared in front of the rapidly flying tennis ball.

柳！

He seemed to have anticipated the tennis ball's trajectory, moving at least two steps ahead of time.

Bang!

With a slam of his racket, he sent the tennis ball flying towards the sideline. It bounced off the ground, catching Dongfang completely off guard.

"15-0!"

"really……"

Seemingly confirming his suspicions, Ban Tian's heart sank. He glanced sideways at the girl with a calm expression not far away.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly to myself: "As people get old, their eyesight also fails..."

They misjudged their opponent; Yamabuki is finished.

boom!

"Match over! Rikkai's Yanagi and Yagyu pair win, score 6-2!"

The outcome of the match was decided in the nineteenth minute.

Wow!

A gasp rippled through the crowd as the score remained locked in a tight contest. The Yamabuki First Team's doubles match had lasted less than twenty minutes?

"Renji..."

Amidst the crowd, Qian, wearing glasses, diligently recorded the course of the match, wondering to himself, "How exactly did you crack their code-based tactics?"

In his opinion, given the proficiency of the two Yamabuki members in using the code, even if he wanted to decipher it, it would take him at least four rounds.

"I never imagined that your data tennis has come so far..."

"Sigh, I lost..."

With a sigh, a hint of weariness appeared on Bantian's smiling face.

After losing two doubles matches, Yamabuki was powerless to turn the tide. After all, Rikkai still had their star player Sanada, while their second-year player, Muromachi Juji, was barely even considered a tournament-level player.

The defeat of the doubles champions caused Yamabuki's morale to plummet. Having lost their ticket to the national tournament, the team members' faces were filled with gloom.

However, there was one outlier in the entire Yamabuki group.

"Hmph! A bunch of scum!"

With his racket tucked behind his back, the tall Akutsu strode onto the court.

He felt no sense of belonging to Yamabuki, and whether or not he advanced to the national tournament was none of his concern. All he could think about right now was snap that guy's neck!

"Plop~"

On Rikkai's side, Niou entered the court holding his racket, his body slightly hunched, his steps unsteady, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Now we begin the singles match 3: Rikkai's Jin Oo Masaharu versus Yamabuki's Akutsu Jin!"

Akutsu!

Upon hearing this name, many Tokyo school team members who came to watch the game trembled and their eyes widened suddenly.

Inui, who had just come from the other side of the court, looked up in surprise as well. "Akuzu? Wasn't he supposed to have retired from the team?"

Undeniably, Akutsu is a highly talented player, but he encountered the wrong opponent at the wrong time. Given more time to develop, the outcome of his match against Echizen might have been very different.

How much progress did he actually make in just one month?

This match features both the person Tezuka assigned to observe and Akutsu, a variable. Inui's expression turned serious: "Very well, let me see your strength..."

The two looked at each other in front of the net.

Akutsu showed no intention of shaking hands, and Niou had no desire to make contact with him, creating an awkward atmosphere. The referee chuckled dryly and said, "Please guess heads or tails!"

"no need!"

Akutsu's eyes darkened as he stared intently at Niou across from him, and he said, "This is pointless. Let him have the serve if he wants it."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Arrogant, unreasonable, and unruly—Akuzu's haughty personality was on full display at this moment. The referee turned around expressionlessly and returned to his position.

"What a beast..."

In terms of personality, Akutsu is unconventional and dislikes being constrained. He can even misinterpret unintentional remarks from others, leading to violent outbursts. His behavior is also crude, direct, and undisguised, sometimes even bordering on provocative.

It's not intentional, it's just my nature.

"Taming this unruly beast? That should be quite interesting..."

Shaking his head and smiling, Niou retreated to the backfield.

"Match begins, Rikkai Jin'ou serves, game one!"

Niou took out a tennis ball and gently tapped it a few times with his right hand, his gaze sweeping back and forth over his opponent's position.

"It's full of flaws!"

In terms of positioning and posture, Akutsu was like a beginner, simply standing casually on the court without changing his position based on his opponent's serving stance.

"Let's see your reaction first."

call!

With a sudden thought, Niou tossed the tennis ball into the air, then pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping into the air. As his arm spun, the racket flipped down from behind his head, striking the tennis ball with a thud.

Whoosh!

The ball moved incredibly fast, sending a shiver down the spines of the spectators nearby. Meanwhile, Qian, who was frantically recording data, abruptly looked up.

"The ball's spin and trajectory...external spin!"

boom!

The tennis ball landed in front of Akutsu, and he, who hadn't paid much attention to it at first, suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with the serve.

chi chi...

Seeing the tennis ball spinning wildly after landing, his ferocious eyes widened again, and the boy's serve flashed through his mind, causing him to freeze involuntarily.

Whoa!

The tennis ball bounced up instantly and flew towards Akutsu's face.

Swish!

At the crucial moment, he changed his posture, stood firmly on both feet, leaned back, and performed a difficult iron bridge move, his gray hair almost touching the ground.

"hiss……"

The surrounding audience stared wide-eyed, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Kitazono, sitting on the coach's bench, opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise, "What terrifying physical abilities!"

"Ha ha……"

Banta, standing nearby, smiled and remarked, "Akuzu is a once-in-a-decade athletic genius!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Yuan nodded, her surprised expression softening somewhat.

As the tennis ball flew over him, Akutsu moved. Using his feet as a pivot point and his waist as his center of gravity, he sprang up like a taut bowstring.

With his body upright, he slammed his racket down, turning a serve into a smash.

boom!

The ball and racket collided violently, and the spin that Niou had applied to the tennis ball was brute forcefully broken by Akutsu. The entire process took no more than two seconds.

"This……"

Jackal's mouth dropped open; this was the first time he'd ever seen a serve broken in this way. Hearing this, Kirihara's slightly constricted pupils gradually returned to normal.

Liu nodded and said, "This Akutsu's physical abilities are even better than Kajimoto's in Shiroishi Shonan."

Muscle elasticity and responsiveness are top-notch.

tread!

On the other side, Niou, after landing from his serve, reacted quickly to receive the ball. Although Akutsu's return resembled a smash, the power was significantly diminished by the spin, making the return much slower than a typical smash.

boom!

Before the tennis ball hit the ground, Niou's racket stopped it.

"It's quite heavy."

The pressure from the tennis ball caused his arm to drop slightly. However, this was within his expectations; in the original work, Akutsu was a formidable offensive power player.

With a push of his racket, he returned the tennis ball to the net.

Tap tap!

On the opposite side, Akutsu, having returned to his normal stance, saw the path of the tennis ball and, with a burst of speed, leaped out like a cheetah.

"So fast!"

The jackal's eyelids twitched; the opponent's speed was astonishing. But then, he raised an eyebrow slightly: "But his steps seem somewhat chaotic..."

On the other side, after returning the ball, Renou also activated his Data Eye skill at the right time.
