Prince of Tennis Fraudster

"Teamwork!"

The experienced Sanada frowned slightly.

On the other side, almost all of them were second-year students. Despite being newcomers, they had fought their way to the Kanto Tournament, which was probably inseparable from their strong sense of unity.

And their core is probably that man in the middle.

Sanada's gaze met that of Tachibana across from him.

boom!

A powerful clash of auras formed between the two. But it was fleeting; they reached out and clasped hands.

Sanada said, "It's been a long time, Tachibana-kun!"

Nationwide, there are few people that Sanada can value, and the only ones he can value and appreciate, apart from Kirihara, are Tachibana in front of him.

Sanada prefers to overpower his opponents head-on, while Tachibana's tennis style is even more aggressive. The two share similarities.

"Ok!"

Tachibana nodded, but said nothing more. He turned around and led his team off the field, leaving Sanada with a puzzling silhouette.

"He's changed..."

Her personality and fierce aura are completely different from the orange girl who used to have blond hair.

"Now we begin the second doubles match: Kyosuke Fudomine and Tatsutoku Mori against Bunta Daimaru and Kuwabara Jackal from Rikkai."

"here we go……"

Off the court, Tachibana An clenched her fists nervously, watching the match intently. Although Rikkai's doubles team was very strong, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

With a gentle flick of her fist, her expression grew increasingly resolute: "Everyone's intensive training over the past month will definitely come in handy..."

However, fifteen minutes later.

boom!

"Match ended! Rikkai's Marui and Jackals won, score 6-0!"

"Gudu..."

Watching Rikkai's two turn away with a flourish, Tachibana An subconsciously swallowed.

"They're not even in the same league..."

Whether it's attacking in the frontcourt or defending in the backcourt, or the tacit understanding between the two teams and the use of formations, the two Fudomine players can only be considered to be babbling infants.

The two sides are worlds apart.

"It's...it's okay..."

She clenched her fists, silently encouraging herself. Her gaze swept across the area, landing on the two young men emerging from the direction of Fudomine, and she murmured, "Kamio, Ibu, it's up to you two!"

However, when she saw the two young men from Rikkai's side emerge, Tachibana An's pupils suddenly contracted. "How could it be them?"

The surrounding spectators stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the two Rikkai players on the court.

"Sanada and Yanagi?"

"It's them? Wow, Rikkai is going to take down Fudomine in one fell swoop!"

"Liu, it must have been Liu's arrangement!"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, Ju's face gradually darkened.

Sanada and Yanagi, whom he had considered should be in the singles first and second place, actually appeared in the doubles at the same time.

Looking at Yanagi, whose eyes were tightly closed, Tachibana sighed, "I was hoping to replicate the tactics used against Hyotei, what a pity..."

The DDS tactic, especially when the team has a strong singles player like Tachibana, will definitely be remembered by the opponent after being used once. The same trick will not work the second time.

And the Black Legion's impressive record will come to an end here.

With the victory secured, the Fudomine regulars clenched their fists, their hearts pounding with excitement. It was as if they were saying, 'See? This is the power of our captain!'

On the other hand, everyone on Rikkai's side wore indifferent expressions, showing no particular feelings about the fight just now.

On the contrary, Sanada and Yanagi looked at Tachibana with some confusion.

"When did it become that the fiercely aggressive Tachibana Kippei would start testing his opponent first?"

The top national-level junior high school students each have their own distinct characteristics.

Yukimura was invincible, Sanada was domineering, and Yanagi was known for his scheming. Tachibana, on the other hand, was fierce.

attack!

In previous national tournaments, Tachibana's defining characteristic was his relentless attack. His power, speed, and reaction time often left his opponents completely overwhelmed before they could even adjust to the game's pace.

However, compared to before, Tachibana's previous performance seemed somewhat hesitant and timid.

"Ah……"

After switching courts, Niou took out a tennis ball, tapped it lightly twice, chuckled, and looked up at Tachibana on the other side.

"It seems that the once mighty lion has become a bald, toothless, and sick dog."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Ju on the other side to hear him. Ju's eyes snapped open, a hint of murderous intent flashing across them, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Enough talk, serve!"

Upon hearing this, Niou switched the racket to his right hand and tossed the tennis ball into the air.

Orange's eyes narrowed slightly: "This is..."

Swish!

Niou leaped, his racket flying down from behind his head and striking the tennis ball with a thud.

Whoosh!

To the average viewer, a faint yellow, blurry dotted line flashed across the net and landed with a thud in front of Ju.

chi chi...

The tennis ball spun rapidly like a top.

Ju, who intended to retaliate with a super jump, paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and immediately turned his body to the side.

Swish!

Almost simultaneously, the tennis ball on the ground suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the spot where the orange head had been.

"15-0!"

Outside the court, Anzu stared at the tennis ball swaying precariously in the wire mesh and exclaimed, "That's... Shinji's superspin serve?"

Superspin and exospin are both actually upspin, just different names. In addition, what is generally called superspin has a stronger degree of rotation than exospin.

"Do not……"

Stiffly turning his head, recalling the entire process of the tennis ball bouncing up, a sharp glint flashed in Tachibana's eyes: "His serve is stronger than Shinji's superspin and that Seigaku kid's topspin!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Niou grasped the tennis ball, slightly raised his gaze, and curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

call!

He tossed the tennis ball up and, using the same technique, hit it with an outside spin.

boom!

The tennis ball was shot out, flew over the court, and landed with a thud in front of Ju.

"Since it's an external rotation, all you need to do is react quickly to the side and hit it back."

With a thought, Ju swung her racket to the side, but the tennis ball didn't bounce up for a long time. As if imbued with a spirit, the tennis ball only bounced high into the air after Ju's racket swept across it.

"30-0!"

Ju frowned: "He can actually control the timing of the tennis ball's bounce. It seems his serve has reached a first-class level."

Indeed, Renwang's super topspin serve has reached purple level 9 in proficiency, and after breaking through, it will be a true national-level serve.

boom!

"40-0!"

Niou hit another outside spin shot, and Tachibana tried to return it but failed.

At Fudomine, Kamio exclaimed in surprise, "No way? Tachibana-senpai didn't even manage to touch that serve?"

Ibu, who wasn't in a rambling mood, seemed a bit sullen. He glanced at Niou, who was tossing the ball, and said, "His topspin serve is more intense than mine."

boom!

At that moment, Niou hit another topspin shot.

“However…” Ibu continued, “Three balls should be the limit. Tachibana-senpai is not someone to be easily fooled.”

Snapped!

The tennis ball landed, and Orange's eyes were fixed on the spinning ball. Suddenly, he noticed a subtle change...

"Now!"

With a thought in mind, he swung his racket quickly.

Swish!

However, the tennis ball bounced in the opposite direction of his swing. It bounced off Orange's right hand, where his movements were stiff and his eyes trembled slightly.

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 1-1!"

The audience seemed stunned, and the only sound in the entire venue was gasping for breath.

"Wow... what a huge curveball!"

"A middle-aged man wearing a light green plaid shirt and carrying a briefcase exclaimed in surprise. It was Inoue, who had just finished watching the Seigaku vs. Josei Shonan match and had rushed over."

Niou's serve is an even more difficult topspin serve than an outside spin serve. This type of serve demands extremely high levels of skill and timing from the player; a single mistake could result in a broken arm.
