My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

In reality, he chuckled to himself.

If Akutsu were the kind of person who acted arrogantly and unreasonably, that would truly give him a headache. On the contrary, the other party now seems to have some idol image to maintain.

And the more someone has this kind of personality, the easier they are to control.

immediately.

The retreat from Sichuan has crossed the bottom line.

A moment later, the third-year team member sitting on the high chair cleared his throat, and after confirming the condition of both sides, said loudly:

"The match begins, one game to decide the winner."

"Shechuan serves, game over!"

Chapter 62 On-site teaching in Sichuan

"Are you ready, Akutsu?"

As the referee's voice faded, Shibukawa pulled out a tennis ball and smiled at Akutsu on the other side.

"So long-winded."

Akutsu gave an impatient snort: "Stop talking nonsense and get started!"

"no problem."

Shechuan smiled slightly, not angry at the other party's attitude.

Bang!

immediately.

He tossed the tennis ball up and then smashed it quickly.

"Here it comes, Minister Shibuya's (bullet serve)!"

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

The serve was very fast, at least to the average player. Even many regular players showed signs of apprehension. They knew Shibukawa wasn't using his full strength, but even so, it made the serve very difficult for them.

Tap tap!

And just as the tennis ball flew out, Akutsu moved.

"This guy reacts incredibly fast!"

Seeing Akutsu's speed of acceleration, many people's expressions immediately changed.

"Wait, what is he trying to do?"

But when they saw Akutsu quickly press forward, almost reaching the service line, everyone frowned.

This is very unusual.

They had never seen anyone rush to that position when receiving a serve.

"Well."

Mizuki stroked his chin, pondering, "Could it be that he intends to go straight to the net after receiving the serve?"

At present, this seems to be the most reasonable possibility.

Swish!

however.

Even as he approached the service line, Akutsu didn't stop. He crossed the boundary line and swung his racket forcefully before the tennis ball even hit the ground.

With a loud bang.

Like a cannonball, Akutsu's return shot whistled past Shibukawa. The latter remained calm, letting the tennis ball pass by without making a move.

boom!

When a tennis ball lands, it is within the boundaries.

But the referee on the high chair shouted, "The receiving team has committed a foul, 15-0!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand in the direction of Shibukawa, signaling to the serving team to take the point.

"what?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Seriously, where did this idiot come from?!"

After realizing what had happened, the Yamabuki crew couldn't help but start making sarcastic remarks.

"Uh......"

Guan Yue's expression also stiffened. The narration he had prepared was swallowed back down his throat.

"This Akutsu... really is..."

Nan, Dongfang, and the others exchanged glances and then laughed helplessly.

Even Muromachi, who always liked to complain, swallowed his words. There was nothing he could do, the other party had a reputation for being vicious, and he didn't want to get beaten up just because of a few words.

Akutsu.

At this moment, Shibukawa, who was on the side of the court, spoke up: "The serve must be returned after the ball has landed; this is one of the basic rules of tennis."

"I see."

Akutsu's expression was rather unpleasant.

The last time he played tennis was four years ago, when he was nine years old. He only played one game and beat that guy named 'Baiyu' so badly that he ran away.

From that time on, Akutsu completely disregarded tennis.

That's why he completely forgot the rules of tennis. Today's match was a last-minute decision; he hadn't studied the details beforehand, which led to his rash actions just now.

However, Akutsu was no ordinary person. He didn't care at all about what others considered embarrassing behavior.

Just like when he fights.

How could he possibly avoid getting hit once or twice? But as long as he's the only one left standing in the end, that's fine.

For Akutsu, the same applies to the match at hand. As long as he can defeat his opponent, no one will remember his current predicament.

"so......"

At this moment, Mizuki, standing outside the stadium, squinted and said, "Is this guy an amateur?"

"It should be."

Sengoku shook his head helplessly and said, "I've never seen Akutsu play tennis. However, I've heard that he has exceptional physical talent, so even without prior tennis training, he should be able to pick it up quickly."

Never played tennis?

Guan Yue laughed, somewhat annoyed.

What gives this person the right to challenge Sichuan?

However, Mizuki quickly realized that Shibukawa's attitude seemed somewhat unusual. Generally speaking, he wouldn't bother with such a challenger.

Combined with Sengoku's statement, this guy named Akutsu seems to be a hot commodity in the eyes of various clubs within Yamabuki.

However, it seems that due to the other person's personality, they have never been able to join other clubs.

In other words...

Thinking of this, Mizuki vaguely guessed Shibukawa's thoughts: "He wants to subdue this guy?"

Bang!

At that moment, Shibukawa hit the tennis ball again.

This time, Akutsu learned his lesson. He waited until the tennis ball landed before swinging his racket and hitting the ball back with a thud.

But the technique was rough, and the landing point was mediocre. Even a random second-year student could catch up, let alone Shibukawa.

really.

Shibukawa easily returned the tennis ball.

Tap tap!

Akutsu reacted quickly, catching up again before the tennis ball hit the ground.

"What kind of speed is that?"

Dongfang, Xindumi, and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Akutsu's tennis skills are indeed appalling, but his reaction speed is incredible. His reaction time and movement speed are simply top-notch.

This is still before the opponent has undergone professional training. If they undergo intensive training for a period of time, how fast would they be?

boom!

After catching up with the tennis ball, Akutsu continued his powerful, sweeping smashes. The shots weren't deep, and the positions weren't particularly tricky. Such shots might be intimidating for an average player, but for Shibukawa at this point, they were simply no match.

Bang!

He swung the tennis ball with a backhand stroke, sending it arcing in a beautiful parabola before it landed trickily near the baseline on the far side of Akutsu's backhand.

"30-0!"

As the ball landed, the crowd immediately burst into applause.

Even Sengoku and Mizuki nodded in agreement; Shibukawa's ball control was too strong. Even they couldn't guarantee they could return such a sharp backhand smash.

"cut."

Akutsu glanced back at the white mark left by the tennis ball in the distance, and spat out a curse with a grim expression.

He came to prove that tennis is nothing special, not to be tortured and become someone else's background.

However, he had to admit that Shechuan's strength was far greater than that of the 'White Jade' he had encountered before.

The latter was touted as the runner-up in some competition at the time, but now it seems that it was probably just a low-level roadside competition.

"but."

With a shift in his gaze, Akutsu looked up at his opponent, a sharp glint in his eyes: "It would be more meaningful to defeat an opponent like you."

He's a proud man. That's why he reacted so strongly after seeing Shibukawa's excellent tennis.

For this very reason, he had to challenge and defeat his opponent. Only in this way could he convince himself and also avoid the 'harassment' from the old man named Banta.

Bang!

Shechuan serves again.

With the experience from the previous two matches, Akutsu was more at ease. Although his skills and return shots were still rough, he was getting more and more rallies with Shibukawa.

"This guy... is a bit unusual."

As the match continued, Mizuki gradually noticed something was wrong. Akutsu's reaction speed had improved to a visible degree, an improvement that usually takes months or even half a year to achieve in an average player, but he had accomplished in just a few minutes.

"This talent... ugh!"

Mizuki seemed to understand why Shibukawa had accepted this person's challenge. With such a genius joining the team, it was like adding wings to a tiger for Yamabuki.

However, this was contingent on Shibukawa being able to tame the tiger. Neither Mizuki nor Sengoku, who was standing nearby, seemed to have any reservations about this.

really.

Soon after, Shibukawa completely overwhelmed Akutsu with his superior strength and easily won the first game.

"game!"

"Shechuan, 1-0, switch positions!"

The referee finished speaking.

Shibukawa got up and walked towards the other side of the court. Seeing this, Akutsu tried his best to control his emotions and walked around to the other side with a sullen face.

It was clear that he was trying his best to avoid losing his temper. After all, if word got out that he had gotten angry because he was less skilled than others, Akutsu Jin would definitely become a laughing stock.

This was absolutely unacceptable to Akutsu, who frequented the delinquent youth circle.

"The second game."

After the players switched positions, the umpire on the high chair continued, "Akuzu serves, game over!"
