Prince of Tennis Fraudster

After several checks, the referee and Banta discovered that Akutsu had indeed fainted.

The latter smiled helplessly, while the referee announced loudly: "Since Yamabuki's Akutsu has forfeited, Rikkai Jinou wins!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission [Beast]. Rewards: 3500 points, 30 reputation, and the purple skill [Demonization]."

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, on starting the next stage of the mission [Old Fox]. Mission objective: Talk to Banta Mikiya and gain his favor."

After leaving the arena, Niou began to observe his gains. The referee continued, "Now, let's begin the singles match 2: Rikkai's Sanada Genichiro versus Yamabuki Sengoku Kiyosumi."

Since it was the first round of the tournament, the match between Rikkai and Yamabuki had to go through five rounds.

However, knowing that he was bound to lose, Sengoku did not put up any resistance in his match against Sanada and lost a decisive 6-0 defeat.

Muromachi, facing Kirihara in a one-on-one situation, didn't put up much resistance before giving up and also lost 6-0.

"Sigh, I'm getting old..."

Standing up from his coaching position, Bantian rubbed his temples, looking exhausted.

Rikkai has already figured out Yamabuki's plans.

Sanada didn't go last; instead, he entered as the second singles player, prepared to crush Yamabuki's last hope. Regardless of whether they won the doubles, their plans would be thwarted.

Of course, this doesn't mean Banta is incompetent. It's just that his hand was too weak, while Rikkai had a full hand of bombs (high-ranking cards), making the difference too great.

"The first round of the Kanto Tournament has concluded, with Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School advancing to the second round with a perfect 5-0 victory!"

The match has ended, and Rikkai has emerged victorious with a perfect record.

To many, this is taken for granted. But only those who have truly witnessed the match can genuinely feel the overwhelming strength of the reigning champions, Rikkai.

The only shortcoming was that Niou didn't win the match against Akutsu by a large margin.

Furthermore, many people believe that Niou's victory was quite lucky.

In their minds, they subconsciously attributed Akutsu's final strange behavior to the side effects of his previous demonic state. If Niou hadn't gritted his teeth and persevered, the outcome of the match might have been uncertain.

"call……"

Stepping off the field, the first to breathe a sigh of relief was actually Kitahara, who was sitting in the coach's seat.

Rikkai's prestige, coupled with the intensity of the Kanto tournament, made her feel extremely uneasy sitting in that position.

"Plop~"

Niou smiled faintly and said, "How about it? Rikkai's manager is much more interesting than Hokkaido's, isn't he?"

Bei Yuan rolled her eyes, then shook her head and said, "It's alright, it feels quite novel."

That's what they said, but the other regulars from Rikkai couldn't help but look at her with more respect.

It was their kindness that allowed her to sit in that position, but it was the girl's skill that allowed her to hold that position well.

At least for now, Beiyuan's performance is quite good.

"Cough cough..."

Sanada cleared his throat twice, glanced indifferently at the two flirting lovers, and said in a deep voice, "Two o'clock this afternoon, opponent Fudomine, location: Court 6. No lateness allowed. Alright, that's it!"

"yeah!"

Upon hearing this, Kirihara, Marui, and the others ran off as if relieved, while Yanagi went elsewhere to continue collecting data, accompanied by Yagyu.

As for Niou and Kitaen, they tacitly headed towards the park's rest area.

Looking at that slightly hunched back, a complex look flashed in Sanada's eyes.

"Perhaps Yukimura is right, only you are capable of this position..."

"Hiccup~"

On a park bench, Niou finished his bento box made by Kitaen and let out a satisfied burp. Over the past two weeks, Kitaen had learned quite a few cooking techniques from Niou.

The food she cooks has a unique flavor.

"Hey, Yaji!"

Niou blinked and asked, "What is it?"

What are your goals for the future?

"A professional player!"

"Oh……"

Bei Yuan nodded, making it clear to her. Then she asked, "What else is there besides this?"

"Hmm~"

Ren-ou stretched and thought for a moment before saying, "After retiring, I might teach at a university. You know, I'm pretty good at math!"

"cut……"

Bei Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're so vain!"

However, she memorized the word 'mathematics' once again.

After chatting for a while, Beiyuan said, "Are you tired? Why don't you take a rest? You have a match this afternoon."

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Renwang smiled, and before she could react, he rested his head on her lap, closed his eyes, and silently entered a deep sleep.

"you……"

Beiyuan was startled, but seeing Renwang quickly fall asleep and hear his steady breathing, she swallowed back the words she was about to shout.

"He looks exhausted."

The terrifying amount of sweat she produced during her match against Akutsu filled her with worry. In particular, the horrifying, demonic state her opponent displayed made her even more apprehensive.

Fortunately, we won in the end, albeit with some close calls.

Looking at the handsome face in front of him, and the black mole on the right corner of his mouth, Bei Yuan gradually became infatuated.

Her hand unconsciously traced the outline of Niou's body, and an indescribable feeling welled up inside her—full, beautiful, and peaceful.

Gradually, she also became sleepy, fell onto Renwang's chest, and fell into a deep sleep.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Court No. 6 of the Kanto Tournament venue.

The sparse crowd gradually gathered. The once quiet stadium began to sound noisy.

But the next moment, a group of young men dressed in black jackets strode onto the court. Their presence, like the black jackets themselves, exuded a heavy aura that commanded attention.

"Is this Fudomine? It looks pretty good, maybe..."

"Tch, no way! Don't you even know who your opponents are? Look, they're here!!!"

Swish!

As soon as the man finished speaking, the audience turned their attention to a group that appeared not far away, with an even more terrifying aura!

Li Hai!

Upon seeing the approaching group, the expressions of everyone from the Black Legion's Immovable Peak changed.

The leader of Fudomine, a young man with a short, round black haircut, narrowed his eyes slightly. No one knew better than him just how powerful this renowned team truly was.

"I hope everything goes well..."

His gaze skipped over Sanada, who was leading the group, and went to the blue-haired guy walking alongside the girl.

"Sure enough, he came too!"

The Kanto draw left the deepest impression on him not from Tezuka, nor from the seemingly arrogant Atobe, but from Niou.

"This feeling..."

Tachibana noticed that the aura emanating from Niou seemed to have vanished. If he hadn't experienced it himself, he probably would have thought that the aura was just an illusion.

"Hey, did you hear? Rikkai won all five of their matches against Yamabuki this morning!"

"Yes, the most exciting match was the singles third game. The momentum of those two players was truly terrifying!"

"Yeah, back then, when I saw that blue-haired guy from Rikkai, I had this feeling of being stared at by a wild beast. Ugh, it still scares me a little when I think about it now..."

A wild beast?

Ju's heart skipped a beat, but she waved her hand, signaling the team members to continue forward.

"Rikkai University..."

Outside the stadium, a girl with orange bangs parted in the middle and wearing a light purple uniform murmured softly.

"Hey, this game is going to be interesting."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know? Fudomine is the biggest dark horse in this Tokyo school competition!"

"Ah……"

Hearing the whispers around her, the girl's lips curled into a smile. She was none other than Tachibana An, the younger sister of Tachibana Kippei, the captain of the Fudomine Tennis Club.

She has a delicate oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and a pair of bright, watery eyes, making her incredibly cute.

However, upon hearing the following conversation, her expression changed.

"They're definitely a dark horse, but their opponent is Rikkai, the reigning national champion. If I'm not mistaken, Fudomine has bet everything on DDS!"

DDS?

With a narrowing of her eyes, Ju Xing felt a jolt in her heart. A sense of crisis rose within her, and she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Rikkai.

"Even an ordinary person could guess my brother's plan. That Liu from Rikkai probably already figured out our lineup, right?"

"The Kanto Tournament, Round 2: Tokyo Fudomine Junior High School vs. Kanagawa Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School."

As the two teams stepped forward, unlike the Yamabuki they had encountered before, the entire Fudomine team possessed a unique aura.
