Prince of Tennis Fraudster

Scorching sun.

On the empty court, a figure with blue stripes leaped out, blocking the blazing sun with his body, and spun his racket, smashing the tennis ball with the edge of the racket.

boom!

Whoosh whoosh! ! !

The tennis ball, transforming into countless afterimages, hurtled towards the wide-eyed youth on the other side.

bump!

With a loud thud, the young man fell to the ground.

"Chitose!"

"Chitose, are you alright?"

"Damn it, Orange's powerful shot hit him in the eye..."

boom!

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 1-4, switch sides."

Niou's fierce attacks gave Tachibana no chance to breathe, and in the blink of an eye, he had won four rounds.

"It's over..."

The members of Fudomine's regular team were filled with despair.

Their minister, Tachibana, known as one of the two heroes of Kyushu, was actually suppressed by an unknown person from Rikkai.

"Niou Masaharu... How terrifying!"

Kamio stared in utter shock as he watched Niou, his murderous aura completely gone and his relaxed demeanor restored. "Is this the true strength of Rikkai? Even Sanada and Yanagi didn't have to lift a finger; Niou alone suppressed Tachibana-senpai..."

From the immense pressure they felt from Sanada and Yanagi earlier, to witnessing Tachibana being suppressed, their impression of Rikkai was like a towering mountain, its peak no longer visible.

"I never imagined that orange would have turned out like this..."

Behind Echizen and Inoue came a familiar voice tinged with regret. Hearing this, Echizen asked in confusion, "Fuji-senpai, you've fought this Tachibana before?"

"No!"

A handsome young man with long chestnut hair stepped forward. His eyes were narrowed into slits, and a faint smile played on his lips. He had a friendly and approachable demeanor.

Fuji Syusuke, the second singles player for Seigaku, is known as a genius due to his superb skills and elegant playing style.

Standing next to the two, he smiled and said, "I've only heard that this guy, Ju, plays very aggressively."

fierce?

Echizen frowned, his dark green pupils reflecting the image of Tachibana being overwhelmed by Niou's fierce attacks. No matter how you look at it, isn't Niou the one who plays aggressively the most?

Fuji shook his head and said, "I don't know what he went through, but his current strength is far from what it was a year ago."

boom!

"Game! Rikkai Niou, 5-1!"

"elder brother……"

Outside the stadium, Tachibana Anzu looked at Tachibana, who seemed dazed, with a worried expression.

As the sun set, the girl looked at her brother with a surprised expression.

"You're giving up tennis?"

"That's right..."

"why?"

“I robbed my friend of his sight, and I robbed him of his tennis dream. This kind of tennis is too dangerous and should never be played on the court again…”

After saying that, the young man turned his back to the setting sun, his lonely shadow gradually lengthening.

boom!

The King of Kings slammed his fist down, raising a cloud of dust.

"0-15!"

One year ago, Fudomine Junior High School.

"Hey! Have you heard? That Chitose from Kyushu has actually joined Shitenhoji Temple in Osaka!"

"Hiss... In that case, that school is probably going to be a top contender for the next national championship!"

tread!

The young man, who was about to enter the classroom, suddenly stopped.

"Shitenho-ji Temple...?"

The flame that had been dormant in the young man's eyes for two months reignited.

Fighting for the field, brawling, and even attacking the coach, a newly formed black army, like tigers descending the mountain, carved a bloody path through the competition.

boom!

Niou smashes the ball with a backhand, scoring a point in one strike.

"0-30!"

Is this the end?

Ju tossed the tennis ball up and habitually hit it.

boom!

Niou on the other side reacted fiercely, hitting the tennis ball back with a super-bouncing motion.

"0-40!"

Inoue shook his head and said, "It's match point..."

"It seems that my idea of ​​returning to tennis and establishing Fudomine was completely wrong."

He couldn't even defeat Nioh Masaharu; the once mighty lion's fighting spirit had long been extinguished. How could he possibly revive Fudomine, or face his friend again in the national tournament?

call!

Ju tossed the tennis ball up, gently hit it with her racket, and closed her eyes resignedly.

He lost, but it's for the best; it means he can finally say goodbye to tennis completely...

"Don't give up, Tachibana-senpai!"

Suddenly, Kamio's voice came, causing Tachibana's brow to twitch.

The sullen Ibu shouted loudly, "That's right, Tachibana-senpai, you said we are a team that has been reborn from the ashes, how can we just give up like this?"

"That's right!" the others shouted. "Senior Tachibana, don't give up!"

Hearing the heart-wrenching screams of her fellow members, Tachibana's hand trembled, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Hey!"

Just then, a soft laugh came from outside the stadium.

tread!tread!

A series of crisp footsteps followed, and the surrounding spectators turned around to see a young man in a white and green patterned shirt watching the match with a smile on his lips: "The once invincible lion, can't even fulfill the request of its own members now?"

Upon hearing this, the regular members of Fudomine glared at him angrily: "You!"

"Chitose!"

Ju's eyes suddenly opened, flashing with a mix of emotions including surprise, disbelief, and guilt, but ultimately, they turned into a flame.

"If you seal it away because you're afraid of your own abilities, then I can only say you're still too green, Kikkari!"

seal?

The spectators nearby were baffled, while Niou, who was preparing to return the ball, felt a strange sense of danger rising in his heart.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "This goal is over!"

boom!

He hit the tennis ball, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

boom!

With a loud bang, the tennis ball he had just hit suddenly passed by him and slammed into the baseline behind him like a cannonball.

"15-40!"

The members of Fudomine stared wide-eyed at the shallow white mark right next to the baseline behind Niou, asking, "What... what just happened?"

Wow!

The once-silent stadium erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers.

The return shot was so fast that they didn't even see what happened. But the referee's decision and the players' reactions showed that an incredible change had occurred with that shot.

Swish!

Niou raised his head and looked at Tachibana, whose aura had undergone a complete transformation, and his pupils contracted slightly.

rustling...

A dark red aura, like flowing flames, surged and swirled upwards. A suffocating, heart-pounding aura, centered on Ju, pressed down on him.

With a thought, he activated the data eye.
