The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 51: Creating "Intelligence Sanada"?
"Finally we won. I almost thought we were going to be eliminated in the first round."

In the preparation area of ​​Seigaku, after seeing Inui Sadaharu win the first singles match without any suspense, Oishi Hide finally felt relieved.

His original sense of guilt for losing the game was slightly alleviated as a result.

But after the game, Shuichiro Oishi secretly made up his mind that he would never hold the team back and he would work harder to improve his level.

"Everyone has worked hard, take a break, and we will go back to school together after we finish lining up."

Ryuzaki Sumire clapped her hands and signaled. At her urging, the joy that had risen in the hearts of everyone in Qingxue quickly cooled down, and they began to organize their belongings in an orderly manner.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the preparation area of ​​Yamabuki Junior High School was a little heavy, and several regular students in the third year of junior high school could not hold back and began to cry.

For them, their three-year junior high school tennis career has come to an end. Yamabuki, who couldn't even get past the first round, lost the qualification to compete for the fifth or sixth place.

Their summer ended before it even arrived.

"I'm sorry, seniors. I wish I could be stronger..." Sengoku Kiyosumi was in low spirits. He couldn't accept that this would be the ending of Yamabuki Junior High School today.

Last year he managed to make it to the national conference, but today he was eliminated in the first round of the Kanto conference. The gap between them caused him to feel a huge psychological gap.

"Okay, kids, this is what happens when you're not as skilled as your opponents. In your long lives, this kind of situation will always happen at any time." Kan'ya Banda used a kind tone to soothe the players' fragile hearts.

"I just hope you remember that you shouldn't deny yourself because of a failure, and work hard to make yourself stronger."

Everyone in Yamabuki nodded in unison in response to the words of their respected coach.

"You must work hard next year and take us with you." A senior in the third grade of junior high school wiped away his tears and advised.

"Don't worry, senior, we will never let this happen again next year." Minami Kentaro stepped forward and said.

With the guidance of Kan'ya Banda, the atmosphere at Yamabuki Junior High School gradually became less heavy, and they began to pack their belongings and prepare to line up.

And Kan'ya Banda, who was sitting in his seat and had not yet stood up, felt a little melancholy.

In fact, in his eyes, if nothing unexpected happens, Yamabuki's strength will give them a great chance to enter the national tournament this year. However, he never expected that after avoiding the seeded teams in three regions, they would actually run into a freak team like Seigakuen.

"The problem of singles cannot be ignored after all."

Kan'ya Banda shook his head secretly. The current configuration of Yamabuki is already the best that the entire Yamabuki Junior High School can offer. If they want to further optimize it, they can only look for talents in other schools.

It's time to move these old bones.

A thought flashed through Banda Mikiya's mind, and he knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death.

He is well aware that the current youth team is still very young and many players are only playing in their first year, but he has already seen great potential in these youth players.

It’s so hard to win today. If Yamabuki doesn’t change, it will be even harder to win next year.

"Thanks for your hard work--"

The two teams lined up face to face, saluted each other, and then left the court.

After the game ended, people in the audience left one after another.

"Sanada, we should go."

Yuuki Maya reminded him when she saw that Sanada Genichirō was still looking at Seigaku. It was obvious who he was looking at, it could only be Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Genichirō Sanada nodded when he heard this, and then everyone from Rikkai University left the stadium together.

On the way, the people walking talked about the game that had just happened.

"That Seigaku player, Tezuka Kunimitsu, is really amazing, especially the technique at the end that made the tennis ball come back to him, it's so amazing."

Marui Bunta sighed, saying that today he had really broadened his horizons. He didn't expect that in addition to their Rikkai University, there were such strong players in Kanto.

"How can he not be amazing? After all, he is the one who defeated Sanada." Yuki Mayo followed casually.

"Forehead……"

The expression on Marui Bunta's face froze, and he glanced guiltily at Sanada Genichirō who had a stern face behind him, and was somewhat afraid to respond to what Yuuki Maya said.

There are occasional rumors among the regular players of Rikkai University that Genichirō Sanada once lost to Kunimitsu Tezuka, and it is considered an urban legend of the tennis club.

"What are you afraid of, Marui? Sanada is not the kind of person who won't admit failure, right Sanada?" Yuuki Maya found it a little funny to see Marui Bunta looking so cowardly.

"By the way, what is the name of that technique that forces the tennis ball to return to one's side?" Compared to Marui Bunta's nonsense, Niou Masaharu was more concerned about the essence of this ball.

"That move is called Field. It is the famous skill of former Japanese professional player Echizen Nanjiro." Before Sanada Genichirō could speak, Yuuki Maya answered the question for others.

He narrated: "The so-called domain is to add a special spin to the tennis ball, so that no matter where the opponent's return ball hits on the court or how it is returned, it will eventually fly back to the performer. It is a very high-end rotation technique."

"At that time, one of the reasons why Sanada lost to Tezuka Kunimitsu was that he was unable to crack the domain."

Of course, what Maya Yuuki did not say was that most of the reason why Genichirō Sanada lost to Kunimitsu Tezuka was because after the field, Kunimitsu Tezuka used the power that he had honed to his utmost to hit the return ball on the tennis ball, and Genichirō Sanada was simply unable to receive it.

However, we must give face to Genichirō Sanada.

"Just hearing you say that makes me feel very powerful, but from your tone, you don't seem to be afraid of this area." Niou Masaharu keenly noticed that there was not much awe in Yuuki Maya's tone when she spoke.

"You discovered me, but you're right, the domain is not invincible."

Yuuki Maya raised her index finger and said, "It's very simple to crack the domain. The first step is to eliminate the special spin on the tennis ball, and the second step is to hit a return ball that the opponent can't catch."

"At that time, I used the second method."

Maya Yuuki recalled that at that time, she did not have any good way to break Tezuka Kunimitsu's domain, and could only choose the rogue style of fighting with great force and flying bricks, and fired a full-power Holy Destruction Arrow that Tezuka Kunimitsu's arm could not withstand.

As long as the tennis ball cannot be hit back, Tezuka Kunimitsu will not be able to use the Thousand Hammers to add double the power to the tennis ball to counterattack.

"Speaking of which, Sanada, I now have a method that can effectively crack the field. Do you want to learn it?"

Speaking of fields, Yuuki Maya suddenly thought that since Tezuka has now become "Healthy Tezuka", why doesn't he try to turn Sanada Genichirō into "Intelligence Sanada"?
