The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

The referee reacted and immediately made a ruling, then asked Ogi Einoshin, who was still kneeling, "How is Ogi? Can you continue the match?"

"..."

Looking up in embarrassment, Ogi Einoshin had just recovered a little from the pain, and his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Yuuki Maya.

"I'm so sorry. I was careless with that serve just now." Maya Yuuki apologized to the other party with a "sincere" expression.

However, the more he said this, the more Ogi Eizhin knew that the other party must have done it on purpose!

"Referee...I give up!"

Amid the surprised looks of the audience around him, Ogi Einoshin chose to surrender without hesitation.

Compared to Minister Makinofuji's dark face and murderous eyes at this moment, the psychological shadow brought to him by Yuuki Maya is even greater.

He knew what would be waiting for him next if he didn't admit defeat now.

…………

"The game is over. Yuuki Maya wins, the score is 6-0."

"The total score was 3-0. The school that won the team championship of the National Junior High School Tennis Championship is Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School from Kanagawa!"

With Ogi Einoshin's admission of defeat, the national competition came to an end and the referee announced the winner loudly.

The former overlord of Kansai ended miserably, and the king from Kanto became the new ruler of the national competition.

“What a pity…”

Outside the field, Yukimura Seiichi sighed with a regretful tone.

Yanagi Renji, who was standing nearby, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked in a puzzled tone: "What a pity! Didn't we win the championship, Yukimura?"

"Nothing, let's go, it's time to go get the award."

Shaking his head without answering Yanagi Renji's doubts, Yukimura Seiichi spoke.

In fact, he just felt a pity that the opponent gave up too quickly, so he didn't have time to carefully observe Yuuki Maya's new moves.

At the side of the court, the other members of the Rikkai University Tennis Club were already cheering excitedly.

There is nothing more joyful than watching your school win the championship with your own eyes, especially for some of the third-year veterans, who shed tears of joy.

As the champion of Kanto for 14 consecutive years, Rikkai University has been waiting for this national championship for a long time.

During the award ceremony and group photo, Marui Fumita happily placed the championship trophy on his head, and Jack Sangyuan held high the school flag of Rikkai University.

Niou Masaharu stood at the edge with a lazy expression on his face, Yanagi Renji squinted his eyes and showed a happy smile, and the same was true for Yukimura Seiichi, who stood in the middle of the team with a smile on his face.

On the contrary, Genichirō Sanada did not seem to be happy about winning the championship. He still had a stern face and did not even look at the camera.

As for Maya Yuuki, he did not show any special expression because he knew that winning the championship was a matter of course.

The camera flash went off, capturing the scene.

Afterwards, without even a moment of regret for Makinoto's defeat, the person who arrived immediately after the award ceremony was Mamoru Inoue, a reporter for a well-known domestic tennis monthly.

Mamoru Inoue was present throughout the finals. He had prepared many questions for everyone at Rikkai University.

Chapter 4 Yukimura's Declaration of a Three-Consecutive Championship

The Rikkai University players who have won the trophy are now integrating the team under the leadership of Genichirō Sanada, because in addition to the regular players, there are also members of the Rikkai University cheerleading team who have come here today.

At this time, Inoue Mamoru also came over, walked up to Yukimura Seiichi who was chatting with the players, and asked gently: "Hello, Director Yukimura, I am Inoue Mamoru, a reporter for Tennis Monthly. Can you spare a few minutes for an interview?"

Upon hearing this, Yukimura Seiichi turned back in surprise, but then smiled and said politely, "Sure, Mr. Inoue, what questions do you want to ask?"

"First of all, congratulations to Minister Yukimura for winning the championship of this year's national competition. I would like to hear your feelings at this moment."

"As for my feelings, there's nothing special about it. We didn't encounter any big difficulties along the way, but of course we are all very happy to win this championship."

"Forehead……"

Inoue Mamoru was totally surprised by the answer, but his professional ethics as a professional journalist enabled him to react quickly.

"Then may I ask Minister Yukimura, after winning this year's competition, what are your expectations for next year's competition?"

"Next year—"

Yukimura Seiichi looked thoughtfully at the Rikkai people who were chatting not far away, and said with a faint smile: "Today's championship is just the beginning. From now on until I leave, Rikkai will not lose any championship again."

"What a shocking statement! It seems that Minister Yukimura also wants to challenge the record of winning the national tournament three times in a row." Mamoru Inoue exclaimed.

He did not think that Yukimura Seiichi was bragging, because anyone who had watched Rikkai University's competition in the national tournament would not think that this statement was a fantastic and arrogant one.

Rikkai University's championship-winning lineup this year is comprised almost entirely of first-year players. As long as nothing unexpected happens to these members, Inoue Mamoru can imagine that in the next two years, all junior high school tennis matches will be dominated by Rikkai University.

Unless a dark horse emerges.

Thinking of this, Mamoru Inoue secretly shook his head. He compared the members of all the strong junior high school tennis schools he knew with the current members of Rikkai University in his mind and found that this was almost impossible to happen.

The interviews between the two sides were still going on, but at the same time, in a corner of the spectator seats at the competition venue, a group of junior high school students wearing the same school uniforms were watching them from afar.

They are the tennis players from Hyotei Academy, the runner-up of the Kanto Conference, which is in the same Kanto region as Rikkai University.

"Atobe, it's time to go." Seeing that Atobe Keigo in front of him was not leaving for a long time, Oshitari Yuushi couldn't help but speak.

After being reminded, Atobe Keigo did not turn around, his face was extremely solemn.

After returning from studying in the UK, he easily took over the tennis department of Hyotei Academy and improved the outdated selection system of the tennis department.

Keigo Atobe originally thought that under his leadership, breaking the best record in the history of the Hyotei Tennis Club - reaching the top four in the national tournament - would only be a small obstacle on his way to winning the championship.

However, despite his great ambitions, he was eliminated in the top 16 of the national conference this year, and failed to even reach the top four in history.

This result was difficult for Keigo Atobe to accept, as he only regarded Rikkai University as his biggest rival.

They were both the champion and runner-up of the Kanto region, and the starting lineup of both tennis clubs was mainly composed of first-year players.

But one has become the new champion of the national conference, while the other is only in the top 16 of the national conference.

The difference is huge!

"Let's go."

After a long time, Keigo Atobe spoke in a deep voice to respond to Yuushi Oshitani, and then led everyone from Hyotei to leave the spectator seats.

“Next year, we will definitely not stop here.”

This was the resolution Keigo Atobe secretly made before he left. At this time next year, he will lead his Hyotei to stand on the stage of the finals.

On the other side, after Inoue Mamoru's interview ended, the two sides said goodbye in a friendly manner.

Yukimura Seiichi returned to the Rikkai University team, and Sanada Genichirō had also integrated the team and got on the bus back home in an orderly manner.

The whole journey was very lively. After all, they won the national championship, and everyone in Rikkai was in a good mood, especially Marui Bunta, who was holding the trophy and chattering non-stop with several second-tier tennis club members beside him.

"Speaking of which, Maya, you seemed to have said that you were going to travel abroad during this winter vacation?"

Niou Masaharu, who was sitting next to Yuuki Maya, held his chin and found a topic with some boredom.

"Well, I told you all before that I was going to travel to France with my family for a while."

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?"

Maya Yuuki was originally dozing with her eyes closed, but after hearing what Niou Masaharu said, she opened her eyes and turned her head to reply.

"How is that possible? Please spare me the trouble." Niou Masaharu quickly waved his hands to deny: "I just feel a little envious, traveling abroad with my family."

"What about you? How are you going to spend this winter vacation?"

"Pfft, I won't tell you."

"Oh."

"..."

When Niou Masaharu saw that Maya Yuki closed her eyes again, he looked at her speechlessly.

This guy and I really have a low compatibility. We don't even have the slightest tacit understanding when chatting!

……

At dusk, the people from Rikkai University got off the bus in front of the school gate and dispersed on the spot.

After saying goodbye to Yukimura Seiichi and the others one by one, Yuuki Maya rode her bicycle back to her home.

As I walked in and took off my sneakers, I saw a young woman in an apron coming towards me from the living room.

She is Maya Yuuki's mother, Eri Yuuki.

"You're back. How was the result of today's game?" Eri Yuuki said with a smile.

Yuuki Maya casually took out the gold medal from her pocket and placed it in the opponent's hand: "Today's opponent is average in strength, and it was an easy win."

"I see. But we are still the finalists of the National Tournament after all. How come you make it seem like it is no different from the previous Kanto Tournament?"

Although Eri Yuki didn't know anything about tennis, she had learned some relevant knowledge and knew that her son's school's tennis team's opponent today was a school that had won two consecutive national championships.

"If we have to compare, today's opponents are stronger overall, but we are just a little stronger in comparison."

"That's it..."

Eri Yuki nodded, not quite understanding. In short, her son was more capable.

Humming a little tune, she hung the gold medal in her hand in a closet in the corner of the living room.

This closet was originally used to store wine, but after Maya Yuuki accumulated a number of trophies and medals of all sizes, it was converted into a dedicated display cabinet of honor.

-

A little science:

1. The results of Hyotei's three-year national tournament led by Atobe were:

In the first year, the top 16 or the first round (the official book does not specify, but it can be reversed.)

Second year, top 16

Third year, top 8

2. I saw some Prince of Tennis videos saying that the overall strength of Kanto schools is greater than that of Kansai. This is actually a very wrong perception.

After all, Hyotei's national results as the runner-up of the Kanto Conference for two consecutive years speak for themselves, and before Rikkai University won the championship, the previous two champions were Kansai Makinofuji.

Also, in the two national top four before the main story, only Rikkai University was from Kanto, Kansai occupied two places, and one was from Kyushu and other places.

Chapter 5: The Escaping Quincy's Autobiography

At night, after dinner, Yuki Maya didn't chat too much with her mother and went straight back to her bedroom.

He entered the room, placed his tennis bag at his feet, then skillfully sat on the chair in front of the desk, leaned back slightly, and looked at the night sky outside the window.

"It's been almost fourteen years..."

At this moment, Yuuki Maya couldn't help but sigh in his heart that so much time had passed since he was reincarnated into the world of Prince of Tennis.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his left hand and clenched it.

In the palm of his hand, a ball of blue light appeared out of nowhere. This ball of blue light was flickering and extremely unstable.

Maya Yuuki frowned and looked at the palm of her hand with concentration.

After a moment, with a slightly disappointed look on his face, he loosened his clenched left hand, and the ball of blue light burst like a punctured balloon and disappeared into the air.

"You still can't condense a spirit bow on your own?"

Maya Yuuki pondered. This was not his first time trying, but every time it ended in failure.

Or strictly speaking, every time he was about to succeed, he would be suppressed by an unknown force at the last step of shaping the spirit bow, leading to failure.

In the past few years, Yuuki Maya thought that this was because his strength had not recovered yet, but now, he has vaguely realized that the force that stopped him might very well be the rules of this world.

Thinking of this, Yuuki Maya couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Yhuhabach I——"

Actually, as a time traveler, this is his second time traveling through time.

Originally, Yuuki Maya was just an ordinary person on the blue planet. She just stayed up all night playing games. When she woke up, she found herself traveling to the world of the god of death.
