My Prince of Tennis has a high proficiency level.

Snapped!

soon.

The two took their positions, and Sengoku bent down to hit the tennis ball, getting used to the feel of it.

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

After confirming the players' conditions, the referee on the high chair announced loudly, "Sengoku serves, game over!"

call!

The words fell.

Everyone then saw Sengoku toss the tennis ball into the air. He lowered his body slightly, then quickly stretched out his body after releasing the force.

boom!

With a swing of his racket, Sengoku quickly hit the tennis ball out.

Tap tap!

Immediately without hesitation, Sengoku strode forward and sprinted towards the net.

"Serve and volley!!"

The crowd outside the arena perked up at the sight.

As expected of Sengoku, he didn't mince words and went straight to the point.

"Well?"

Akutsu reacted instinctively, judging the trajectory of his opponent's serve, and quickly moved towards the landing point. At the same time, he also caught a glimpse of Sengoku's movement towards the net.

Most people would be affected by seeing their opponent serve and volley the ball, taking the initiative. But Akutsu only glanced at it before raising his racket and, as he had in mind, smashing the tennis ball towards one side of the court.

boom!

This shot had no technical skill involved, but it was incredibly powerful, like a brick flying. In addition, Akutsu himself has excellent muscle elasticity and nerve reflexes, so even without professional training, he can roughly hit the tennis ball to the position he wants.

For the average person, it would take two or three years of hard work to achieve this.

However, although the ball was fast, it was entirely within Sengoku's expectations, as he had made ample preparations for the net play.

Immediately, Sengoku changed direction. He moved sideways to the left without slowing down, and after catching up with the tennis ball, he continued to swing his racket to intercept it without any pause.

With a loud bang.

He hit the tennis ball with a backhand, aiming it at his opponent's opposite corner. Akutsu reacted quickly, and Sengoku took the opportunity to change direction again, rushing towards the net with almost no deceleration.

"A good response."

Uesugi, watching from the sidelines, nodded approvingly.

Banta, who appeared from the side, smiled and said, "Compared to when he played against Mizuki before, his playing style is more mature. He's become less flashy and more practical."

"Ah."

Hearing the other party pinpoint Sengoku's change, Uesugi nodded and said, "It seems that Mizuki's data tennis has indeed corrected a lot of his bad habits."

"Yes."

Bantian nodded slightly.

Mizuki's role is far more important than the average member imagines. Putting everything else aside, his ability to help others correct their weaknesses alone would place him among the top three most important members of Yamabuki.

Looking at the battle between Sengoku and Akutsu, Banta felt even more impressed. Although the Yamabuki team's lineup wasn't particularly strong yet, it was small but complete, already showing the beginnings of a top-tier team.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

at the same time.

On the court, Sengoku and Akutsu were pulling at each other.

The former went to the net, while the latter kept hitting the tennis ball left and right, trying to disrupt Sengoku's movements. The latter reacted decisively and quickly, gradually pushing his position forward while maintaining his net-rushing offensive as much as possible.

The process seemed slow, but the two exchanged blows five or six times in just over ten seconds. As the distance between them increased, Sengoku's strategy of gradually chipping away at the opponent's strength became increasingly advantageous.

"That guy!"

Akutsu's eyes widened, a fierce glint flashing in them.

boom!

He then unleashed a powerful smash without hesitation, aiming directly at Sengoku, who was making his move to the net.

"Danger!"

Upon seeing this, someone instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

This was no ordinary body shot; it was a direct attack aimed at the player's body, clearly with a subjective intent to foul.

"Oh."

Sengoku simply smiled faintly at this: "Only now do you think of blocking my movements...too late!"

Bang!

immediately.

He quickly held the racket in front of him, leaning back to absorb the force. After receiving the tennis ball, he slightly bent his wrist inward to dissipate the force, and once the impact on the racket had been largely dissipated, Sengoku pushed the tennis ball out gently with a flick of his wrist.

Pat-pat...

All of this seemed to take a long time, but it happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted, the tennis ball had already landed on Akutsu's side of the court and rolled gently away.

"15-0!"

"Wow, so strong!!"

"They neutralized that ball so easily?"

"As expected of Sengoku, his understanding of net play is simply unmatched by anyone else."

The sound of people talking outside the venue could be heard.

Sengoku remained calm in response. After his defeat to Shibukawa, he had become indifferent to the boasting of others.

Moreover, Akutsu's shot just now was no weak one.

Others might not have been able to solve it as easily as he did. One wrong move and they could have ruined their wrist.

Besides, Akutsu has only been seriously practicing tennis for a few days. Sengoku would never be so complacent just because he won a point.

As for Akutsu, although they lost by a point, they weren't really bothered by it. Compared to the crushing defeat against Shibukawa, that last goal was nothing.

in contrast.

Akutsu began to analyze his gains and losses. He believed he should have intervened immediately when Sengoku started his online activity, ideally by keeping him at bay.

Otherwise, once the opponent gets to the net, they'll have the advantage of playing on their own. Even Akutsu would be helpless to watch them score.

boom!

Do it when you think of it.

After Sengoku served his second serve, Akutsu immediately countered, hitting the tennis ball towards Sengoku. Despite his rough technique, the ball was powerful and heavy, forcing Sengoku to slow down.

The online strategy itself relies on a fast-paced, first-mover advantage. Once the speed slows down, it's not so easy to pick up the pace again.

In response, Sengoku had no choice but to change his tactics, switching to baseline rallies. This played right into Akutsu's hands, as he fully utilized his experience from playing against Shibukawa, continuously hitting the tennis ball to the left and right.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

...

In the blink of an eye, the two had fought more than ten rounds.

This far exceeds the average level of a normal junior high school student in actual combat. However, judging from the state of Sengoku and Akutsu, the two of them clearly show no signs of stopping.

The former possesses strong fundamental abilities, coupled with [Dynamic Vision]. This allows them to completely disregard the opponent's offensive intentions and achieve a 100% accurate judgment rate.

Given the terrifying nature of their dynamic vision, the two were completely operating on different time scales. Sengoku only needed to focus his energy on scoring points.

However, Akutsu is no pushover either.

He possesses exceptional talent, though it remains undeveloped. His explosive power, reaction speed, movement speed, and strength are in no way inferior to Sengoku's.

More importantly, Akutsu possesses exceptional balance. He can perfectly integrate various top-tier talents and harness them to his advantage.

So.

After the two sides engaged in a back-and-forth battle, the game became evenly matched. Neither side could score consecutively, but because Sengoku had scored first, the score quickly reached 40-30.

Bang!

boom!

Bang!

boom!

A flurry of shots rang out.

The two were once again locked in a long tug-of-war.

Both players were evenly matched in terms of talent, but Sengoku had the edge in terms of match experience.

He seized the opportunity when Akutsu's racket slipped slightly due to sweat as he returned the ball, hitting the tennis ball to the backhand side and immediately moving to the net.

Tap tap!

Sengoku rushed online.

Although Akutsu managed to save the ball thanks to his excellent reflexes, his opponent's increased speed instantly amplified the threat level.

Snapped!

really.

After getting to the net, Sengoku used the same tactic again, hitting another beautiful short ball.

"Humph!"

Akutsu snorted coldly, and moved almost the instant his opponent attacked. For him, it was absolutely impossible to fall twice in the same place.

His foundation was very strong, and his physical talents were top-notch. The moment the thought of going online crossed his mind, he started operating at high speed like a precision machine.

Tap tap!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Akutsu visibly closed in on the tennis ball. In the end, he actually managed to return the ball before it bounced twice.

"hiss!"

"They actually saved him!"

"That's terrifying! His explosive power is way beyond what a middle school student would achieve!!!"

Everyone was filled with amazement.

Akutsu's talent is truly astounding.

Swish!

However, in the next moment, a figure suddenly leaped up. It was none other than Sengoku, who had been prepared all along.

With his signature move, the "Tiger Cannon," he possesses astonishing jumping ability. Taking advantage of the situation where the ball was caught off guard, he completely seized the initiative, leaping forward to the front of the tennis ball.

immediately.

Sengoku raised his racket high and smashed it down on the tennis ball in mid-air.

Boom!

A loud bang.

The tennis ball exploded like a cannonball near the service line behind Akutsu.
