My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

Nan Kaikou, seated on the high chair, looked at Shibukawa with a flickering gaze, his heart filled with turmoil.

"Kid...you've got some skills."

Uesugi, who had been tricked, did not get angry. His face remained expressionless, and after saying something, he turned his head left and right, making a cracking sound from his neck joints.

Even the most clueless team members could tell that their manager was serious.

boom!

really.

On his second serve, Uesugi applied significantly more force to the tennis ball. Although the accuracy decreased slightly, as long as the ball landed inside the service line, some players who lacked power still struggled to return it successfully.

However, Shechuan was clearly not among them.

With a thud, the tennis ball was returned to him. Moreover, the trajectory was quite tricky, while Uesugi rallied and smashed it again with great force, using a deep shot to confine his opponent near the baseline.

Undeterred, Shibukawa continued to use his tricky shots to keep his opponent running back and forth.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

In a short time.

The two players clashed fiercely on the field, neither giving an inch.

This scene undoubtedly shocked the Yamabuki team members, who stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Is this a lie? Is it a lie?"

"Shibukawa... he actually fought Uesugi (the minister) to a standstill?"

"Has he...become this strong already?"

This isn't about exploiting data vulnerabilities to target Uesugi's weaknesses. It's a real, head-on confrontation.

"So strong!"

Cold sweat was faintly seeping from Nan's forehead as he sat on the high chair.

He also didn't expect that Shibukawa's personal abilities were already on par with Uesugi's.

"So, is this the source of your confidence in issuing this challenge?"

Looking at the spirited and imposing black-haired boy on the court, he couldn't help but smile wryly: "That's true, if I had that kind of skill, I would definitely do the same."

Not far away.

A strange glint also flickered in Bantian's eyes.

Shibukawa's growth rate also exceeded his expectations. He never imagined that in less than three months, the other party would be able to compete with a club captain like Uesugi, who had reached the semi-finals of the tournament.

"This kid... he's pretty fierce!"

on the field.

Uesugi became increasingly surprised as the fight progressed.

He initially believed that his powerful smashes and greater match experience would allow him to dominate his opponent. However, to his surprise, Shibukawa was completely unaffected.

On the contrary, the opponent's ball control became more and more accurate, and the landing points became more and more tricky. That frustrating and uncomfortable feeling from before gradually began to reappear.

"Hiss, could it be that this guy was observing and collecting my data while we were competing?"

Uesugi felt a chill run down his spine.

At that moment, Shibukawa made his move. After catching up with the tennis ball, he raised his racket and swung it quickly, much to the astonishment of the onlookers.

Swish.

Everyone only saw a fleeting afterimage before their eyes and couldn't see the other person's starting shot at all.

"Wait, what is this...?"

Upon seeing the racket that had suddenly disappeared, Uesugi's pupils also contracted sharply.

fast!

too fast!

He failed to see his opponent's movements clearly, not only during the backswing but also in the position of the shot.

Bang!

next moment.

The sound of the ball being struck rang out.

Uesugi felt a rush of water sweep past his side, and before he could react, the tennis ball had already passed through his defense and slammed heavily into the inside of the baseline.

"0, 0-30!"

Nan, sitting on the high chair, spoke with a slight tremor.

The people at the scene were stunned once again.

They never expected that Uesugi would be suppressed by Shibukawa in a head-on confrontation.

"call......"

at the same time.

The captain of Yamabuki let out a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the black-haired boy opposite him: "That ball just now... there's no mistake!"

He had seen similar skills about four months ago.

That was in the first round of the Kanto Tournament, a match between Yamabuki and Rikkai. Despite losing the first three matches, Yamabuki was eliminated.

However, due to the rule that all five matches must be played in the first round, Uesugi still qualified to play.

But in the end, it ended in a crushing defeat.

The ball that Shibukawa just hit was the signature move of Uesugi's opponent at the time, the tennis emperor of Rikkai University, Sanada Genichiro, the "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" combo... "Swift as the Wind"!

This moment.

Uesugi's gaze toward Shibukawa completely changed.

Chapter 51 Become a Minister, New Features Unlocked

Bang!

"game!"

"Shechuan, 0-1, switch positions!"

In the blink of an eye, Uesugi's serve was broken.

The scene was completely silent. The Yamabuki players stared at Shibukawa on the court as if they had seen a ghost.

They knew Shibukawa was strong, but they never expected that Uesugi would lose his serve without even getting a single point.

"This is the terror of data tennis!"

Ban Tian, ​​watching from the sidelines, thought to himself with a sigh.

Perhaps players with a particular type of skill are slightly less adaptable to changing situations. But against an opponent they know well, especially someone like Uesugi, whose every move, training status, personality, and characteristics are thoroughly understood by Shibukawa, being shut out is not surprising.

What truly surprised him was that Shibukawa had changed completely in just two days. His sharp and imposing aura even caught the eye of Banta, a seasoned coach who had seen it all.

Judging from the situation of their duel, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Uesugi will most likely lose this match.

"so......"

Thinking of this.

Bantian turned his head and glanced at the silent orange-haired boy in the crowd: "In the end, it depends on whether this kid has enough courage to fight for that position."

Whether it's going to Sichuan or not.

A thousand koku is fine.

In Bantian's opinion, either of them could play.

Ideally, both sides should motivate each other and use each other as whetstones. The best scenario would be if they could spiral upwards, stepping on each other with their left foot.

As for Uesugi, although he is qualified to be the captain, he is already a third-year student and will eventually have to leave the tennis club.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

on the field.

The two engaged in a fierce battle.

As the minister, Uesugi naturally couldn't bow his head and admit defeat. Even if it meant handing over the ministerial position, he would fight with his last ounce of strength.

But as the match continued, Uesugi found himself struggling more and more. He knew he was most likely to lose, but he never expected that he wouldn't even be able to pull off a comeback.

Moreover, he was already somewhat overwhelmed just dealing with Shechuan's offensive.

"This guy has really only been practicing for less than 3 months?"

Uesugi looked at his opponent with suspicion and uncertainty.

He even suspected that his opponent had been secretly training for a long time and was actually very strong, but was just pretending to be weak. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to suddenly become so strong in such a short period of time.

"hateful!"

Feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to lift his head, Uesugi was seething with anger. Although he hadn't failed to score a single point so far, he was still being shut out and utterly crushed by Shibukawa in the overall score.

To save face for his minister, he was determined to fight with all his might to win a round against the other side, no matter what.

however.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a strange twitching sensation in his right leg.

"Is this... a muscle cramp?"

The experienced Uesugi immediately realized what was happening, and his pupils contracted sharply.

He usually leads the team in warm-up exercises before practice. But today's incident was sudden, and given that he had been busy preparing for his college entrance exams recently and hadn't had much time to train, this was a different story.

The pressure from Shechuan in this race was immense. He was constantly running from side to side from almost the beginning of the race, putting a heavier strain on his legs than usual.

In this situation, the probability of cramps is not small.

"Of all times!!!"

Uesugi's face was tense; logically, he had to deal with the situation immediately. But if he left now, it would not only delay the outcome of the match but also prolong the handover of the ministerial position.

Even he himself didn't want to leave the team members with the impression of being timid before leaving the tennis club.

"Let's give it our all!"

In a flash, Uesugi made a decision.

Swish!

Immediately.

He endured the discomfort in his right leg, concentrated all his strength in his left leg, and jumped up with great force.

At the same time, he gripped the rackets with both hands, and his suspended right leg twisted like a pendulum. Simultaneously, his core muscles engaged, concentrating all his power into the rackets he held in his hands.

boom!

next moment.

Under the astonished gazes of onlookers, Uesugi unleashed a powerful two-handed smash.

"This is......"

"A vertical jump-hitting style of play?!"

A look of surprise flashed across Ban Tian's eyes from the sidelines: "This is the most proficient move of a professional player who comes from clay courts."
