The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

The racket steadily intercepted the lightning tennis ball, once again successfully blocking Sanada Genichirō's lightning-fast move.

Seeing that the tennis ball was still intercepted, Genichirō Sanada's face looked extremely ugly.

"Now you understand, Sanada? No matter how fast your thunder is, it cannot escape the warning of your brilliant talent." Maya Yuuki said slowly.

"What you need now is to find a way to conceal your intention to use thunder, so that Cai Qihuan can't calculate the true trajectory of your ball."

After Yuuki Maya finished speaking, Sanada Genichirō, who was lost in thought for a long time, looked up and said, "If that's the case, I already have an idea."

After saying that, wisps of black air gradually emanated from around Genichirō Sanada's body.

"The Art of War says: It is as difficult to predict as the shadow..."

There is another chapter, at night

Weekends are usually 4k words, with more trivial matters

Chapter 87: End of term, current situation of the tennis club, Kirihara taking tutoring lessons (transition chapter)

In late July, in the calm campus atmosphere, an imperceptible wave was slowly rising.

The first reason is that the Rikkai University's on-campus ball games competition is about to begin, and the second is that the end of the semester is approaching and the summer vacation is coming.

bang, bang, bang...

On the tennis club's practice court, two figures were chasing each other for a tennis ball.

If you look closely, you will find that one side is feeding the ball while the other side is constantly returning the ball.

滋哩

The sound of lightning rubbing against the air could be heard from the court, and every time one of the teams returned the ball, there was thunder and lightning.

It was Genichirō Sanada and Maya Yuuki who were continuously hitting the ball on the tennis court.

"Move like thunder!"

I saw Genichirō Sanada holding the racket with both hands, like a samurai.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he seemed to be merely preparing to hit the ball, but a gloomy black aura surrounded his entire body, making it seem as if his next move had countless possible hitting angles.

Snapped

The tennis ball was hit back, emitting a silver thunderbolt that shot towards the opponent's half of the court.

"Well done Sanada, my brilliant talent just now didn't fully predict your hitting intention, you are getting closer to perfecting it."

Maya Yuuki retracted the star-like white light emanating from her body, tapped her toes lightly, and a black shadow appeared behind the tennis ball the next moment, intercepting the return ball.

Afterwards, they fought back and forth for another half an hour before they signaled to each other to stop.

Genichirō Sanada was breathing heavily, and sweat was pouring down his face and body like rain, soaking his entire body.

"Your water."

Maya Yuuki walked to a seat nearby, picked up the two bottles of water, and threw one of them to Genichirō Sanada.

"Thanks."

Genichirō Sanada took it with one hand, gulped it down in one gulp, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

"I estimate that your Nanzhi Ruyin will be completely perfected before the spring break at the latest. Actually, there is not much I can do to help you from now on."

Maya Yuuki gave her own guess about the progress of Genichirō Sanada. This technique fits his playing style, and the only help she can provide is to speed up his development progress.

Ever since he briefly borrowed the talent of Tezuka Kunimitsu with the Star Chapter last time, Yuuki Maya has discovered that he can use this technique of the state of no self naturally.

However, compared with the original user, he only used 7% of it. This is why he told Genichirō Sanada that if he wanted to completely perfect "Yin" in the future, he could only rely on himself.

"My idea is the same as yours. I want to completely master Yin and Thunder before next year."

Genichirō Sanada nodded affirmatively, but seemed unsatisfied with his progress and said, "It's a pity that the Mirage Mirror you taught me, Yuuki, is very difficult. I haven't been able to get a glimpse of it yet."

"Don't be in a hurry about this kind of thing. Your left hand hasn't become your dominant hand yet, and you still need to practice some spinning techniques. So take your time. You can't rush this kind of thing."

Maya Yuuki could understand the other party's impatience and could only try to persuade him.

Just as Genichirō Sanada said, his results in practicing Mirage Mirror were not ideal. His right hand was better as it was his dominant hand and he mastered the basic rotation technique quickly. But his left hand was not so good. His brain knew how to do it, but his arm's reaction and control had not caught up.

"Well, this is the only way." Genichirō Sanada sighed helplessly. This was somewhat different from his original practice plan.

After some communication, his sparring with Sanada for the day came to an end.

Because he had promised to give Kirihara Akaya a "reward" at the Kanto Conference, the next period of time until the end of the club activities would be the practice time for him and Kirihara Akaya.

However, surprisingly, Kirihara has not come to the tennis club until now, which surprised Maya Yuuki.

"Yanagi, what's going on with Kirihara today?"

Unable to guess what Kirihara Akaya was up to, he could only ask Yanagi Renji who was writing notes nearby.

"Kirihara? I heard Marui mention it when he came here today. It seems that he was kept by his teacher for tutoring."

After being asked, Yanagi Renji stopped writing, thought for a moment, and replied uncertainly.

"Tuition?" Maya Yuuki was slightly stunned. This word was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

The reason why he was familiar with it was that before he traveled through time, he came from a certain hellish province on Blue Star, and tutoring was a common occurrence for him.

But after crossing here, this kind of thing never happened again, because his grades have always been above average in the class, and the deviation value is basically above 65 every time.

"Has Kirihara always done poorly in his studies?" asked Maya Yuuki. It was the first time he heard about this and he found it quite interesting.

"It seems average, but it seems that I have been spending too much time on tennis recently. I failed the English subject, which was already weak, in the last test." Yanagi Renji explained with a normal expression.

"In other words, if Kirihara fails the final exam, he won't be able to go to the national conference with us." Yuuki Mayudao thought of a very serious problem.

"That's true in theory. If Kirihara's English grades are not satisfactory, it will be difficult for him to go with us." Yanagi Renji gave an affirmative answer.

"This is really..."

Maya Yuuki could already imagine what Kirihara Akari's expression would be if he was unable to go with the team.

Thinking of this, Yuuki Maya waved goodbye to Yanagi Renji, turned around and walked out of the tennis court.

We arrived at the second floor of the teaching building, which belongs to the first grade group.

"If I remember correctly, it should be Group D of the first year."

After looking around, Yuuki Maya saw a classroom with a sign that said "First Year D Group".

He walked over and stopped at the back door to look. He soon spotted Kirihara Akaya, who had a very obvious kelp hair, among the dozen or so people sitting scattered around the classroom.

At this time, Kirihara Akaya looked a little absent-minded, looking out the window from time to time.

"That won't do."

Looking at Kirihara Akaya, who was completely distracted from his tutoring, Yuuki Maya shook her head. If he continued in this state, the final exam would be in real danger.

He walked to the front door and paused at the entrance.

Kirihara Akaya, who was already distracted, soon noticed the presence of Yuuki Maya, who waved at him.

Kirihara Akaya briefly showed a look of surprise, then quietly walked out of the back door and came to the corridor.

"Senior Yuki, is there anything wrong?" Kirihara Akaya asked as soon as he came up.

"I saw that you didn't come to the tennis club today, so I came to check on you." Yuuki Maya said bluntly, "I came here just to ask you if you know that if you fail a subject in your final exam, you won't be able to go to the national conference with us."

"What?! Is there such a thing?" Kirihara Akaya was shocked. He had never thought about this issue before.

"Now you know, you should understand what to do. Study hard." Yuuki Maya patted the other person's shoulder and added.

"Of course, don't be too sad if you really fail the course. The seniors will carry your faith and help you win the national championship this year."

……

Chapter 88: Conflict before the draw, a big stone that refreshes your cognition

At the end of July, the semester ends.

With the subsequent help of the academic master Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya did not fail any of his courses in the end, and was able to participate in the final round of this year's national conference with Rikkai University as he wished.

However, before the competition begins, the customary draw ceremony is still required.

Kanagawa Prefecture, Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School.

In front of the large classroom on the first floor, a horizontal sign with the words "National Junior High School Tennis Championship National Group Draw Venue" was placed at the entrance.

In the classroom, representatives from 24 participating schools from all over the country have entered the venue and are waiting at their assigned seats.

"Oh, I'm so nervous, Tezuka." Oishi Shuichiro put his hands on his chest, and felt that his heart had been beating very fast since he came in.

It was his first time to attend such a gathering of top experts. It can be said that the 24 representatives present were the 24 strongest teams in the country this year.

"Don't show your fear, remember how we got to where we are today, Oishi." Tezuka Kunimitsu said without changing his expression. No matter where or when, he was always so calm.

After being reminded by Tezuka Kunimitsu, Oishi Shuichiro remembered the hardships and difficulties they had encountered along the way, and the nervous feeling in his heart gradually disappeared.

By the way, the current third grade captain of Seigaku announced after the Kanto Conference that he would no longer serve as the captain.

It seems that his spiritual faith was shattered after being beaten, and he has lost interest in tennis.

Naturally, after Tezuka, who was the deputy minister, took over the position of minister ahead of schedule, he recommended Oishi Shuichiro to be the deputy minister.

This is also the reason why the two of them are representing Qingxue today.

"Come to think of it, it's a good thing that the draw ceremony is held in Kanto this year. If I had to go to Kansai like in previous years, it would be tiring just thinking about it." Oishi Shuichiro did his homework before coming and knew that each draw ceremony is held at the champion school of the previous year.

However, before Tezuka Kunimitsu could speak, a somewhat unhappy voice came from behind Oishi.

"Hey, what do you mean, you're so arrogant just because your Kanto team happened to win the national championship?"

Behind Oishi, a school representative who spoke with a Kansai accent looked at him unfriendly.

After the other party finished speaking, several more glances came from various angles, also representatives of schools in Kansai and other regions.

Dashi was suddenly panicked. He didn't know why just this one sentence had offended so many people.

"Hyotei is the runner-up in Kanto again this year. I wonder if he can make it into the top 16 this year, hahahaha."

"Rikkai University stole the championship last year when Makinoto was in a period of lack of talent. This year, there will be no such luck."

"I heard that the president of Rikkai University is sick. Haha, this is the price of winning a championship that you shouldn't have won."

"Humph, this year's champion will definitely be from Kansai."

"You wish. It's time for us in the East China Sea to take over."

"..."

One highly offensive word after another flowed out, leaving Dashi at a loss for a moment.

Tezuka Kunimitsu frowned, obviously it was the first time he saw representatives from various schools with such simple customs.

At the Hyotei seat, Atobe Keigo and Oshitari Yuushi, wearing high-end school uniforms, arrived early as representatives. After hearing what those people said, Atobe Keigo, as a representative of a Kanto school, was naturally annoyed.

Just as he was about to stand up and fight back, a mocking voice pierced the entire classroom from the door: "It seems that the lesson you received last year was not bad enough, you stray dogs."

"Who?!"

"I want to see which bastard dares to speak like that!"

"Don't you want to live anymore?"

At this moment, everyone in the classroom turned around and looked towards the door.

I saw two people standing there in a row, wearing white shirt uniforms with the Rikkai University emblem sewn on their chests.

"The host is here. Looks like there's no need for me to take action." Atobe Keigo smiled slightly and slowly sat down.

When the school representatives saw who was coming, they were also shocked.

The ones who appeared here were naturally Yuuki Maya and Sanada Genichirō. Today, they were still the two of them participating in the draw ceremony as representatives of Rikkai University.

"Are those the four giants of Rikkai University?"

"Hmm, it's really impressive."

"The one who spoke is the Holy Judge Yuuki Maya, right?"
