My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

Although Shibukawa's serve was also very fast, it was received by Kuki. This made the latter even more convinced that he was very strong, but he had only underestimated his opponent and allowed him to launch a successful sneak attack.

But in reality, this was just a serve that Shekawa didn't take seriously in order to practice his skills.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

on the field.

The two players hit the tennis ball back and forth.

Kuki grew increasingly confident and fearless with each battle. Shibukawa, on the other hand, wasn't in a hurry to attack; he was trying to find his rhythm so he could hit shots that would earn him recognition on his proficiency chart.

Snapped.

Sudden.

Seizing the opportunity, Shibukawa played a short ball, catching Kuki off guard.

[Hit an excellent short shot]

[Short ball experience +4]

[Current Short Ball Level: lv0 (4/10)]

Seeing the prompt on the panel, Shibukawa was very satisfied. He then used the same technique again, hitting another beautiful short ball.

Tatata! ! !

but.

Kuki, however, had anticipated this and charged forward.

"Hmph, do you really think I'm that stupid? The same trick won't work on me."

With a cold laugh to himself, he visibly caught up with the tennis ball and swung his racket to return it before it hit the ground a second time.

Snapped!

however.

This is the opportunity that Shechuan has been waiting for.

He controlled his power, using his excellent touch at that moment to swing the racket and hit the ball with a sharp, high lob.

Swish!

Kuki abruptly turned his head, his face deathly pale, as he stared at the tennis ball that had soared over his head and landed behind him. He silently prayed that the ball would go out of bounds.

"40-0!"

But the score announced by the referee completely disheartened him.

As expected, Shechuan activated the [Highball] skill.

Then, Shibukawa struck while the iron was hot, scoring from Kuki's hand with a technically sound slice shot, thus reactivating the [Slice Shot] skill.

"game!"

"Yamabuki, 1-0, switch positions!"

The game is over.

Kuki was completely stunned, and the way the players from the surrounding clubs looked at Shibukawa had also completely changed.

"That's incredibly strong from Shibukawa!"

"Yeah, Kuki was completely outmatched. Yamabuki... if I remember correctly, they made it into the Kanto Tournament this year, right?"

"Hmm, this Shibukawa is definitely of the Kanto class!"

While everyone was discussing it.

Outside the court, both Kakimoto's coach, Kensuke Kuki, and the temporarily recruited coach, Araki, looked grim.

In today's match, strengthening Kakiki's doubles skills is secondary. The real purpose is to make Kuki Kiichi famous and to establish his reputation.

That's why Kensuke Kuki didn't arrange for his son to play either singles 2 or singles 1.

As a result, no one expected that Kuki would be suppressed to such an extent.

"Guiyi".

During the break, Kensuke Kuki said with a stern face, "Get serious. So many people are watching. Don't let me down."

"I...I understand."

Kuki, who had originally wanted to explain something, trembled involuntarily when he saw his father's cold and stern gaze.

The game resumed quickly.

Determined to wash away his humiliation, Kuki took a deep breath and launched a powerful attack right from the start. The sound and force of his shots were quite intimidating, startling some less discerning viewers.

They thought Kuki was going to turn the tables and kill his opponent.

The Kakiki team members also got excited. A third consecutive loss would be too embarrassing for them. If Kuki could turn the tide, it would at least give Yamabuki a strong counterattack.

In contrast, the Yamabuki crew remained calm.

"In the last game, Shi Chuan used four different methods to score. He seems to be on the defensive now, but in fact, every move of his opponent is within his calculations."

Tezuka, standing in the crowd, felt a slight stirring in his heart.

"So, he's a data-driven player like Qian?"

"No, that's not right."

"It's not data, it's insight. He saw through Kuki's actions completely. Just who is this Shibukawa?"

In the end, Tezuka's gaze towards Shibukawa changed. If the other was a first-year student, he would be even more outstanding than the two players on his own team.

"Wait, his short ball... ugh!"

Sudden.

As if he had discovered something, Tezuka, who had been calm, raised an eyebrow and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 33 upgrade conditions have been met (1/2), and strength has increased again.

"Has this person's short-ball technique improved so much?"

Tezuka was quite surprised.

He could see clearly that, compared to the short ball his opponent had hit initially, the black-haired boy's swing this time was more stable and his timing was more precise.

More importantly, the opponent's control over their power was clearly better than before.

"Two possibilities."

Tezuka gave Shibukawa a deep look, thinking to himself, "Either he was hiding his true abilities, or..."

Thinking of this, even with his discerning eye, he was quite surprised by the talent of the young man before him. After all, to improve at such a visible speed in actual combat was definitely the mark of a genius.

"wrong."

As the match continued, Tezuka's surprise deepened: "It's not just his short shots, his smashes, slices, and lobs are all getting stronger!"

genius!

This black-haired boy in front of me is definitely a tennis prodigy!

Tezuka couldn't help but compare the other person to Fuji, the genius of Seigaku's regular selection.

"If he really is a first-year student, his talent is probably no less than that of Fuji."

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

on the field.

Shibukawa toyed with Kuki like a cat playing with a mouse, using his opponent to hone his various abilities. The double experience gained in actual combat further enhanced the abilities he had just mastered, resulting in a visible improvement.

"That's about it, it's time to end this."

As the match entered its second half, Shibukawa, having accumulated more experience, played with more freedom. He completely overwhelmed Kuki with a series of aces in his serves and direct points in his returns.

boom!

A loud bang.

A shot as fast as an arrow landed on the inside of the baseline behind Kuki. The latter opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. His face, covered in sweat, was filled with shock and fear.

"The match is over."

"Yamabuki Shibukawa Shin wins, score 6-0!"

Pfft!

The referee finished speaking.

Kuki, who was already at his limit, collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

In contrast, Shechuan only broke out in a light sweat after the match.

"That's brutal!"

The elite club players who had come to watch the game outside the stadium were all gaping in astonishment.

Even those who thought Kuki was going to turn the tables on them for a moment forgot that they had been proven wrong and just looked at Shibukawa as if he were a monster.

"So strong!"

"Yes, whether it's forehand or backhand, or the ability to change direction, short shots, lobs, or slices, they are terrifyingly strong, with absolutely no weaknesses!"

"A typical all-rounder, I never expected Yamabuki to have such a hidden talent!"

Compared to the others, the astonishment of Kakiki's coach, Kensuke Kuki, and the astonishment of Seishundai Club's coach, Araki, was no less.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

Especially Kensuke Kuki, who had meticulously planned this match to give his son a chance to shine. He never expected it to end like this.

Araki, on the other hand, sympathized with his friend. Judging from Shibukawa's performance, it was questionable whether Kakiki could even make it to the top eight in next year's Metropolitan Tournament, let alone the National Tournament.

really.

In the subsequent match, Yamabuki's Sengoku, without even using the "Tiger Cannon," also completely overwhelmed his opponent in his service game.

the other side.

Shechuan's attention wasn't on the game, but rather on his own stats panel.

As he expected, the improvement of several skills significantly increased his stats. Furthermore, since these were all ball-related skills, the five dimensions that increased after leveling up were all technical.

A thought crossed my mind.

The data panel for individuals involved in Sichuan Province appears.

[Name: Shechuan Xin]

Age: 13

[School: Yamabuki Middle School]

[Five Dimensions: Speed ​​1.7, Strength 1.7, Stamina 2.3, Technique 2.5, Mental Strength 3.1, Total 11.3]

Shechuan gained a lot from the match just now.

By developing new skills and leveling up, his technical stats increased by 0.8. Combined with the strength stat boost from upgrading his smash skill, his total stats increased by 1.3 in just a few days, which can only be described as a leap forward.
