The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 153 Graduation Ceremony, Mori Jusaburo OUT
Winter break ended a few days after Yuuki Maya returned home, and the new semester began again.

On the first day of school, during the afternoon club activities after classes, he saw the people from Rikkai University for the first time in a long time.

After a winter break, he clearly felt the changes in everyone.

People like Marui Bunta have muscles in their arms and legs that are visibly firm and strong.

It seems that during this holiday, they did not slack off at all, but instead strictly followed the special training plan he gave them.

Because it is the first day of the new semester, we did not officially start regular practice today, but allowed the members to move freely.

It was obvious that Genichirō Sanada had a lot to say, and he came up immediately after the free movement was announced.

"When did you leave your father?" Before Sanada Genichirō could speak, Yuuki Mayo asked first.

Swallowing the words he was about to say, Sanada Genichirō could only answer his question first.

"I stayed there for about ten days, and then my father told me that I could go back," said Genichirō Sanada after recalling the past.

"Oh? So - have you mastered that?" After thinking for a while, Yuuki Mayo looked at Sanada Genichirō meaningfully and asked.

"Regarding this question, before I left, I had already achieved the state of meditation where my consciousness could be placed in a cave. Unfortunately, I have not reached that end until now."

Genichirō Sanada told Maya Yuuki his current situation truthfully without any concealment.

"So, now Sanada hasn't reached the stage of seeing the door yet..."

Maya Yuuki had an estimate in his mind. He estimated that with Sanada's progress, he should be able to reach the realm of [Seeing the Gate] in the first half of next year, and even step into the small road behind [Entering the Gate].

"Now it's time to talk about you. I remember that my dad recommended you to a place. How was it there?" Seeing that Maya Yuuki stopped asking questions, Genichirō Sanada asked.

"That place is really great, and it's full of masters. If you have the chance in the future, you should go there once." Yuuki Maya did not describe the training camp in detail, as it might be a little early for Sanada.

Only if the other party can initially master the Shura Shinto, Yuuki Maya will seriously tell him these.

"So your current strength must be stronger than it was then." A picture flashed through Sanada Genichirō's mind. The picture left such a deep impression on him that he could hardly forget it.

"Yeah, of course. Do you want to try it?" Yuuki Maya admitted it without hiding anything, and there was no need to do so.

"Let's talk about it after I master that. Right now, I am still no match for you."

Genichirō Sanada shook his head, not even thinking about it.

The golden flash that day was like a ravine, which made Sanada realize how far the gap was between him and Maya Yuuki. He knew very well that he had not yet reached that level.

And after a winter break training, I understood this even more clearly.

Maya Yuuki's strength has long surpassed that of a junior high school student.

This was the answer given by the other party when he asked the other party about Yuuki Maya's level before he left his father's place.

On the other side, seeing Sanada Genichirō so decisively admit his inferiority, Yuuki Maya was not surprised.

Because one of the steps of Shura Shinto is to recognize and acknowledge one's own weakness.

After learning more about other aspects of Sanada Genichirō, he told Yuuki that his six secrets had been thoroughly polished, and the coordination between [Yin] and [Thunder] had been mastered by Sanada very skillfully during this holiday. He had also started to use the [Mirror of Mirage] that Yuuki Maya had given him, and through constant hard training, Sanada Genichirō had basically turned his left hand into his dominant hand.

The most direct proof is that the speed of the ball, the force and the swing speed of the racket are almost the same when he hits the ball with his left hand and with his right hand.

“You’re really hardworking.”

When Maya Yuuki learned that Sanada had accomplished so many things in one vacation, he couldn't help but feel emotional. With goals and motivation, Sanada can be called a training maniac.

After communicating with Sanada for a while, they separated. Sanada went to training, while Yuuki Maya went to observe the situation of others.

After one round, he found that the basic strength of almost every regular player had improved significantly. To put it in gaming terms, everyone had leveled up a lot.

Yuuki Maya conservatively estimated that Marui Bunta and others had at least improved their five-dimensional data by an average of more than 2 points in total.

……

The last semester of the school year was basically dull.

There are no competitions to participate in, only heavy academic workload, especially for junior high school students facing graduation.

Since the beginning of this semester, Maya Yuuki has basically not seen Mori Jusaburo a few times. Although he is still a regular player of the tennis club, he is actually just in name only.

In the peaceful campus atmosphere, time has unknowingly come to mid-March.

The graduation ceremony for the new third-year junior high school students of Rikkai University is being held in the conference hall. Maya Yuuki and others are watching the stage from afar at the entrance of the venue.

They watched as Hisaburo Mori went on stage to receive his certificate and gave his graduation speech, then they all applauded along with the crowd.

Although they had only been teammates for less than a year, they already had a close relationship with each other.

"Mori-senpai is graduating just like that."

Marui Bunta said with emotion that as his doubles partner this year, the graduation of Mori Jusaburo means that he will not be in Rikkai University's starting lineup next year, which makes him sad.

"Pfft, that means Marui will have to change his partner again next year." Niou Masaharu said deliberately without warning.

"You stinky fox, you're really talking about something that's not relevant!" When his scar was suddenly exposed, Marui Bunta immediately started to wrestle with Niou Masaharu.

When the others saw this, they thought it was nothing strange and stood aside as if they were watching a show.

The fight stopped only when Mori Jusaburo came over.

"Senior Maori, congratulations on your successful graduation." Everyone sent their blessings.

"Haha, thank you everyone." Maori Jusaburo thanked everyone for their blessings one by one and was in a good mood.

Afterwards, led by Genichirō Sanada, Rikkai University's regular players this year went to the reserved restaurant together.

This meal was not only to celebrate the successful graduation of Mori Jusaburo, but also their last formal dinner with each other.

Next year, there will no longer be a regular player named Mori Jusaburo in Rikkai University's team.
