My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

However, as the match progressed, Sengoku realized something was wrong; he hadn't broken through Shibukawa's defense. Instead, the two gradually reached a stalemate.

The advantage that we had previously enjoyed, with a thousand koku of grain, has vanished!

"His shot... is so steady!"

Sengoku was secretly alarmed.

In the past, with his offensive just now, even top-level players or some Kanto-level players would have had their defenses breached.

However, Shibukawa only briefly fell into a disadvantageous position before quickly recovering.

Not only that.

What was even more unbelievable to Sengoku was that he was actually being suppressed by the other party.

"how is this possible?"

Sengoku's first thought was disbelief.

Immediately, he realized what was happening and stared intently at his opponent: "Data tennis?!"

He recalled the matches where Shibukawa defeated Muromachi and Minami. Once a match reached a certain stage, his opponent's actions would be anticipated.

Shechuan, on the other hand, seemed to know in advance the direction of his opponent's movements, the timing of his shot and the route of his return, always leading by half a step.

This is clearly the style of play in data tennis.

in other words.

His data on Sengoku Kiyosumi has been almost completely known to his opponents.

Bang!

really.

Then the ball.

As if anticipating Sengoku's reaction, Shibukawa suddenly made a move, piercing through the opponent's defense with a single shot.

"0-40!"

Shechuan scored again.

The people at the scene were numb.

Sengoku's expression was rather unpleasant.

Despite his reluctance to admit it, the facts before him proved that he was indeed suppressed by Shibukawa in a head-on confrontation.

"Data tennis is the most effective weapon against conventional tennis."

Sengoku recalled the characteristics of data tennis in his mind and pondered silently.

Although this ability demands high levels of intelligence, analytical skills, and strategic planning from the players, perhaps only one in ten people can execute a data-driven approach.

However, Sengoku was not unfamiliar with masters of data flow.

Putting aside others, Seigaku's regular player, Sadaharu Inui, and Renji Yanagi, one of the three giants of Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, are both experts in this field.

Especially Liu, one of the core players of Rikkai University, which dominated the national tournament for two consecutive years. His opponent's data-driven tennis played an indispensable role in Rikkai University's victory.

Unfortunately.

In this year's Kanto Tournament, Yamabuki faced Rikkai and was eliminated in the first round. Sengoku's opponent was none other than Yanagi, known as the "Strategist of Rikkai."

The two met in singles match 3.

As expected, Sengoku, whose intelligence was completely known to his opponent, was utterly defeated in the early stages. Only his later outburst, using other abilities, allowed him to salvage some face.

But in the end, Sengoku was defeated by Yanagi.

However, he didn't come away empty-handed. At least for Sengoku, he found some ways to deal with data tennis.

"The so-called data refers to the opponent's playing style, personal habits, and basic numerical abilities."

at this time.

As Sengoku bent over to hit the tennis ball, a way to break the deadlock flashed through his mind: "So, the simplest way to break the opponent's anticipated advantage is to break the rules unexpectedly!"

call!

The thought crossed my mind.

Sengoku tossed the tennis ball high into the air.

Then, his gaze focused on the tennis ball in mid-air. The next moment, he swung his racket forcefully, sending the ball flying with a loud thud.

This serve is fast and powerful.

but.

This wasn't difficult for Shibukawa, who could easily defeat even Tiger Cannon. However, after he returned the tennis ball, he inexplicably felt a pang of anxiety.

Bang!

next moment.

The tennis ball, which had just been hit, landed on his backhand side without warning. It was so fast that even Shibukawa couldn't react in time.

"Forehead!"

The man on the high chair paused for a moment, then spoke after regaining his composure: "15-40!"

"hiss......"

"What exactly happened?"

"Yes, even Shibukawa didn't react. Could this be Sengoku's true strength?"

The crowd outside the venue whispered among themselves.

They couldn't even keep up with the speed of the previous duel between the two, let alone see clearly how Sengoku launched his attack.

"Half-hit?"

Shibukawa narrowed his eyes, glanced at Sengoku's location, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"With my level 7 swing, even without using my full strength, the speed of my return shot is definitely something that most people can't react to."

"Even if he is a thousand koku, at most he can move to the appropriate return zone before the tennis ball bounces out."

"But that last shot was clearly a volley."

This is very unusual.

For Shibukawa, who has been practicing tennis for some time and has a natural data analysis system in his mind, it is not so easy to do.

"It would indeed be difficult for someone else to do, but if it were him..."

Thinking of this, Shibukawa raised his head and looked at Sengoku.

To be precise.

His gaze locked onto the other person's brown eyes. Then, Shibukawa smiled and said, "Looks like you're completely serious now."

That's right.

Shibukawa had already seen through the other party's capabilities.

It is none other than the talent that was quite powerful in the early part of the original work—dynamic vision!

Moreover, Sengoku's dynamic vision is far superior to that of the original protagonists, Echizen Ryoma and Kikumaru Eiji.

The dynamic vision of the two people behind them is only enough to see the changes in moving objects. But Sengoku's is like slow-motion footage captured by a high-speed camera.

From Sengoku's perspective.

Once he uses that formidable eye, the surrounding scenery visibly slows down. This allows him to clearly see the changes in expression on everyone's face, even down to every single hair on a tennis ball moving at high speed.

Therefore.

Only then could he, after Shechuan's counterattack, deliver a perfectly timed, swift, and accurate mid-volley without hesitation.

"I never imagined that you would push me to this point."

After delivering a half-volley, Sengoku's expression turned cold, and he looked very serious: "However, the match ends here."

In Sengoku's view, once he unleashes his strongest move, the rest of the match will be nothing more than a one-sided massacre.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

really.

As the game continued.

With his dynamic vision activated, Sengoku completely seized control of the game. Every shot he made was launched in an instant, so fast that Shibukawa had no chance to react.

and.

The opponent, now fully serious, is also deliberately changing his playing style in order to avoid the data and information about Sengoku that Shibukawa had previously collected.

This was also the solution he came up with after losing to Liu.

That means you should never reveal your most accurate information. As long as your tactics keep changing, your opponent will be unable to predict your moves in advance.

Sengoku's strategy proved to be correct.

In the following plays, Shibukawa completely switched to a defensive stance. However, Sengoku, with his terrifying dynamic vision, was able to pinpoint and attack the opponent's weakest point every time.

Bang!

In the blink of an eye.

After Sengoku scored again with a smash, Iru, sitting on the high chair, announced loudly, "Game! Sengoku, 1-0, change positions!"

"Wow, so strong!"

"This is Sengoku's true strength!"

"Nonsense, that's Senkoku, one of the top fighters in Yamabuki. When he gets serious, the outcome of this match is already decided."

now.

The crowd around the stadium looked at Sengoku with nothing but deep awe.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

The name Sengoku Kiyosumi is an absolute authority in this area. But they had only heard of him before; now, seeing him with their own eyes, the shock they felt was beyond words.

but.

Some people looked at Shechuan with puzzled expressions.

In their view, since their opponent dared to challenge Sengoku, he must have some skill. Now that he's being suppressed, he'll most likely get serious and retaliate.

But reality has left these people somewhat disappointed.

In the following second and third games, Sengoku continued to use his superior dynamic vision and superb skills to completely break through Shibukawa's defense.

The latter was firmly pinned down at the baseline, unable to advance an inch.

"As expected, a thousand koku is a thousand koku."

Seeing this, Rulai, sitting on the high chair, sighed inwardly.

Sengoku's strength was already widely recognized. Now, he is merely proving once again that the dignity of a true Kanto-level master is not to be challenged.

"However, it's quite remarkable that that guy could do that much."

immediately.

The newcomer's gaze turned to one side of the court, and upon seeing Shibukawa, who had gained the right to serve after the exchange of positions, a sense of melancholy welled up within him.

In his view, this is the price of challenging authority.

However, considering that both of them are members of Yamabuki, Sengoku probably won't do anything too outrageous.

"Hey, Shibukawa."

However, just as Shibukawa was about to bend down to hit the tennis ball, Sengoku suddenly spoke up: "Your skill level should be more than this, right?"

Sengoku remembers it very clearly.

The opponent hasn't played much offensive tennis so far.
