My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

"I never expected it to turn out like this."

Banta looked at Akutsu on the court, his eyes closed, no longer displaying any of his previous arrogance, and sighed inwardly.

Akutsu originally held a very important place in his heart.

However, as Shibukawa's performance became increasingly outstanding, Akutsu's importance declined. Especially after Akutsu defeated Uesugi, forcefully became the head of the Yamabuki club, and proposed various rule-changing measures, Banta had completely accepted Akutsu.

This only made him more certain that, compared to the tennis prodigy Akutsu, Shibukawa was the core of Yamabuki.

Of course, this is not a multiple-choice question.

Especially with Shibukawa's outstanding performance, after completely defeating Akutsu, he had essentially subdued his opponent. In this way, it can almost be said that Banta's previous plan had been completely achieved.

"Hey, Akutsu."

At this moment, Shibukawa walked to the net, looked at the boy opposite him who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, as if he were in a trance, and said, "Aren't you going to shake hands after the match?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze immediately fell upon Akutsu. Some even showed signs of worry in their eyes.

They knew this fierce guy's personality well. Losing the game was already embarrassing for the opponent, and Shibukawa was going to provoke them in person. It wasn't impossible that they could accidentally ignite this powder keg.

Swish!

At that moment, Akutsu opened his eyes.

He gave Shibukawa a cold look, then turned his gaze to Banta and said expressionlessly, "I will keep my promise to you."

After saying that, he turned and left before anyone could react. As he passed Uesugi, he tossed his racket to him.

"That kid has a really fiery temper."

Watching Akutsu's departing figure, Uesugi couldn't help but shake his head. But then, as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "However, this has nothing to do with me anymore. Let that guy handle this troublesome character."

"Akuzu's personality is indeed a bit difficult to deal with."

Banta chuckled upon hearing this, but then he looked at Shibukawa, who was calmly leaving the court, and said with a smile, "But if it's him, there shouldn't be any problem."

Akutsu's talent is indeed terrifyingly strong.

But Shibukawa is no ordinary player either. In less than three months, he went from a novice to a top player who swept through Yamabuki.

Even the experienced Banta had never encountered such talent throughout his coaching career.

Minami, Sengoku, and even Uesugi might find Akutsu quite troublesome. But Banta believes that Shibukawa will definitely be able to tame this unruly tennis beast.

"Now that this matter is over, this old man should go and rest."

After he finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and slowly left the court. Seeing this, Uesugi opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Banta has never really been involved in the tennis club's training. He only makes arrangements for team formations before the main tournament begins.

Most of the time, he quietly observes the team's development.

Before becoming the minister, Uesugi was surprised. He always felt that this gentle, always smiling old man had a great influence on Yamabuki.

However, Ban Tian was never seen during training sessions.

It wasn't until he became the team's captain that Uesugi realized that the other party had delegated full management authority to them. It meant letting the players be self-reliant and handle team affairs personally.

But this does not mean that Banda is a hands-off manager.

This season, whenever Yamabuki encountered difficulties and Uesugi hesitated, Hanten would always step in to help the team solve the problem.

In a way, this elderly man in his seventies is the invisible pillar of stability in Yamabuki.

And now, he has once again chosen to hand the team over to Shibukawa. Clearly, this reflects his confidence in Shibukawa's potential impact on the team's future development.

“Shibukawa, Sengoku, Mizuki... and Akutsu.”

Uesugi looked up at the faces on the court that were gradually maturing from their youthful innocence, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Those guys are a thing of the past. The group of energetic young people in front of you are rising stars.

Uesugi believed that this new team, forged under Shibukawa's leadership, would eventually shake up the entire junior high school tennis world.

...

"We actually lost..."

Even after leaving the tennis court, Akutsu was still caught up in the match.

0-6!

According to tennis rules, this was undoubtedly a crushing defeat. In reality, he was almost completely shut out, winning only one point from his opponent.

It's fair to say that the match just now completely shattered his previous views on tennis. Therefore, Akutsu, who had always been dismissive of everything, was now actually analyzing his crushing defeat.

All indications suggest that even if he were to go back now and fight the other side again, the result would still be similar.

The key problem is that Akutsu's foundation is too weak.

His talent is indeed terrifying, which is the source of Akutsu's previous confidence in disdaining all sports. But Shibukawa is clearly not an opponent he can defeat simply by exerting his abilities.

To defeat his opponent, he must undergo professional tennis learning and training.

But the thought of his crushing defeat still left Akutsu feeling somewhat resentful. Moreover, despite his reluctance to admit it, he was actually quite frustrated after losing to his opponent.

His undefeated streak was broken.

Akutsu was momentarily confused.

at the same time.

A figure got off the train at the platform outside Yamabuki and entered the school. After asking the Yamabuki students, the person located the tennis club and walked straight over.

And this person was none other than Minister St. Rudolf, Akazawa Yoshiro, who had come from twenty stops away to ask Mizuki for an explanation.

"Guan Yue, if you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, you will definitely regret it."

As one of the former gang leaders at St. Rudolph, Akazawa was hardly a model student. Even in his first year, he dared to fight with the third-year thugs.

Over the past year, he had simply suppressed his anger and focused his energy on building the tennis club. The appearance of Mizuki had initially given Akazawa a glimmer of hope.

The thought of St. Rudolph achieving a ranking in the Metropolitan Tournament and advancing to the Kanto and even the National Tournament filled Akazawa with excitement.

However, after giving him this possibility, Mizuki cruelly extinguished his hope.

Those familiar with Akazawa know that this minister from St. Rudolf is also a man who doesn't tolerate injustice. Furthermore, what he hates most is betrayal.

"If that person wasn't talking nonsense, then the Yamabuki tennis club is behind this building."

Akazawa clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

If he were to encounter Mizuki, and the other party couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind using the stuff in his tennis bag to give the other party a good beating.

Ok?

however.

Just as Akazawa reached the corner, a tall, pale-faced, white-haired boy walked towards him.

The two met unexpectedly and nearly bumped into each other.

Akazawa's expression changed slightly, and he immediately hissed, "How do you walk? Don't you have eyes?"

He was already furious, and now that he had almost been hit, his anger had reached its peak, nearly causing him to lose control and explode.

however.

Upon hearing his words, the white-haired youth's gaze darkened, and the muscles on both sides of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

"Are you ordering me around?!"

Swish!

This statement came out.

Akazawa, who was originally about to question the other party about whether they were a member of the Yamabuki Tennis Club, was now completely enraged.

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

Already seething with anger, Akazawa glared back, his usual thuggish rage instantly erupting: "If you don't want to get into trouble, lead the way to Yamabuki's tennis club!"

call!

next moment.

There was no warning whatsoever.

Akazawa instinctively sensed a hint of danger, and the other party acted decisively, grabbing Akazawa's collar with one hand and lifting him up to the latter's astonishment.

The two closed the distance instantly, and Akazawa could clearly see the other's eyes, which were filled with a murderous aura as if they wanted to devour someone.

The moment their eyes met, Akazawa sensed a strong sense of danger. He instinctively wanted to shout, but the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back.

"you you......"

Akazawa was about to say something to ease the tension when Akutsu's gaze fell on the tennis bag on his shoulder, and she said coldly, "You play tennis too?"

Akutsu was clever. From the other person's clothes and appearance to his tone and attitude, he could easily guess that the guy in front of him was probably here to cause trouble for Yamabuki.

Judging from their identities, the other party is most likely a master from another school.

Swish!

Thinking of this, Akutsu pushed hard, throwing Akazawa to the ground. Fortunately, the latter had good balance and managed to regain his footing after stumbling back a few steps.

"Plays tennis?"

Akutsu spoke coldly.

"What do you mean?"

Akazawa frowned; his intuition told him that it was best not to provoke the guy in front of him. Besides, he had only come here for Mizuki's sake and didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Just as he was about to explain, the other person scoffed, then tilted their head to one side and stared at him coldly: "Now, fight me!"

"Playing tennis?"

"Right here?!"

Akazawa was also a little confused.

Tennis matches should ideally be played on professional courts. But judging from the opposing team's approach, it seems they're planning to start the match right here.

In reality, Akutsu hadn't thought that much about it. He had just lost the match, suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of Shibukawa, and had left so decisively just now; going back now would undoubtedly be a slap in his own face.

He can't bear the shame.

Therefore, in Akutsu's view, it doesn't matter where you play, as long as you're not in the tennis club.

"Come with me."

Then, ignoring Akazawa's surprised and uncertain expression, Akutsu turned around and walked in another direction.

The latter gritted his teeth, knowing full well that the other party was not someone to be trifled with. If he refused, he would most likely suffer.

Akazawa knew he and Mizuki still had things to settle and didn't want to cause a big commotion before meeting her. Coupled with his apprehension towards Akutsu, he gritted his teeth and followed.

As a result, Akutsu took him directly to the badminton club.

Similar to the tennis club, practice was underway in the badminton club. But when Akutsu and his group approached, the once bustling court suddenly fell silent.

"A...Akuzu, you..."

The badminton club president was about to speak when Akutsu's cold glare silenced him. The others shrank back, not daring to utter a single word.

"Hey! Hey!"

Akazawa, who was following behind Akutsu, also realized something was wrong. He said with a serious face, "You're not planning to play tennis with me on the badminton court, are you?"

"how."

Akutsu glanced at him, her face expressionless, and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Akazawa immediately swallowed his words.

The rest of the badminton team dared not utter a single word of dissent. It was no joke; if they angered this formidable figure, their badminton team would be in for a world of trouble.

Thinking of this, the head of the badminton department immediately took action, arranging for the team members to lower the badminton net and temporarily use it as a tennis match.

"Uh......"

Upon seeing this, Akazawa's lips twitched involuntarily a few times.

Playing tennis on a badminton court? This was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it in all his years of playing tennis. He'd never even heard of it before.

However, Akazawa quickly calmed down. Judging from the reactions of the badminton club members, the guy who brought him here was indeed a very dangerous individual.
