The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

The onlookers were in a panic and tried to dodge to avoid being hurt by the ball hit by Maya Yuuki.

The tennis ball finally collided with a concrete building twenty meters away from the court, and the entire tennis ball was deeply embedded in it, with no trace left.

In the court, Zeus still maintained his dodging posture, but his expression was no longer as calm and composed as before.

Pulling his eyes back from behind, he looked at the opposite side with some fear.

On the other hand, after hitting the ball, Yuuki Maya put down her racket and stood upright, looking at the opponent expressionlessly.

He was not surprised by the result, as he knew the power of this ball very well.

It doesn't matter if the ball's path is discovered. It will be in vain if you can't catch the ball.

Their eyes met, and Maya Yuuki stretched out a finger, pointed at the corner of her eyebrow and signaled to Zeus.

Zeus subconsciously touched the corner of his eyebrow, and his fingertips felt a little slippery.

When I put it down and looked, I saw a bright red color between my palms.

he got hurt.

Because all his attention was focused on Maya Yuuki's ball, Zeus didn't even realize that he was scratched by the tennis ball.

I, lost?!

An inexplicable emotion spread in Zeus' heart, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Since he started playing tennis, no one of his peers has ever been able to beat him.

And now, it is obvious that the strength shown by the opponent is not all he has.

My eyes turned to the direction of Yuuki Maya, but the latter had already left the court. She put the racket back into her tennis backpack, put it on her back, turned around without looking back, and left the court slowly.

Zeus clenched his fists slightly and stared at the back of the young man who made him feel frustrated. He had a premonition.

In the future, he will definitely meet this guy again in some competition.

……

Maya Yuuki walked quickly towards the competition venue. Just as he was about to reach the entrance, a voice came from his side.

"Hello friend, would you like to chat for a moment?"

The sudden voice made Yuuki Maya stop and turn to look at the source of the voice curiously. He wanted to know who the person who called him for the second time was.

What caught my eye was a standard Western blond handsome guy, with two followers behind him.

Maya Yuuki recognized the person immediately. It was the captain of the U17 American team, Ralph Reinhardt.

If the previous encounter with Zeus was unexpected, then meeting Reinhard now was not so surprising to Maya Yuuki.

"What's up?"

Maya Yuuki asked. Although he knew who the other person was, he couldn't act as if he knew him. After all, this was the first meeting between them.

"I'm the captain of the US U17 team. You can call me Reinhardt. Excuse me, but I'd like to ask which club you are from." Reinhardt's tone was very friendly and his voice was full of magnetism.

He was nearby just now and saw the fight between Zeus and the young man in front of him, and then he chased after them.

Maya Yuuki was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but the next second he immediately understood what the other party meant. He felt that Reinhardt had mistaken him for a tennis player trained by an elite foreign tennis club.

"Sorry, I don't have a club. I'm just a tourist who came to watch the game." Maya Yuuki shook her head and denied.

"what?!"

Apparently his answer was beyond Reinhardt's expectations. After a moment of thought, he smiled again and said, "Would you mind telling me your name?"

"Yuuki Maya."

"Yuuki Maya..."

Reinhardt murmured something and pretended to be in deep thought. After a while, he looked at Yuuki Maya seriously and said, "So, my friend, are you interested in joining the American team?"

After these words were spoken, Yuuki Maya was a little surprised.

Although he thought that the other party might have similar thoughts when he called him this time, he did not expect it to be such a direct invitation.

"Could it be that Reinhardt has learned some information about the next U17 class from some channels?"

Maya Yuuki thought to herself that this possibility was not small, after all, that was America.

"Captain Reinhardt, I'm just a freshman. Even if I agree to join the US team, there's no way I can participate in the next U17." He replied tentatively, wanting to see how the other party would answer.

Unexpectedly, in response to Yuuki Maya's question, Reinhardt said without hesitation: "Regarding this question, I actually know a friend who is from Japan like you. His name is Echizen Ryuga."

"I've studied your Japanese system for middle and high school students, and I've discovered that what you would consider a third-year junior high school student is a first-year high school student in the United States."

“So, theoretically, as long as you go to school in the United States, you can participate in the next U17.”

At this point, Reinhardt paused and said solemnly, "So, my friend, are you interested in joining the American team? If you are concerned about school issues, I can help."

"I almost forgot about this, but it seems he doesn't know about the next term."

After finding out that the other party didn't know the inside story, Yuuki Maya politely declined the invitation: "Sorry, I don't have any plans to study abroad for the time being."

"Really?... What a shame. Sorry to bother you so much."

A hint of regret flashed across Reinhardt's eyes, but he still said goodbye gracefully.

Before leaving, he turned to look at Yuuki Maya and said, "If you change your mind, you can come to the United States to find me. My invitation still stands."

After saying that, the other party decisively turned around and left.

-

Ps:

Currently, Ryuga Echizen's setting has changed from a high school student to a junior high school student, and the explanation given is that he is a freshman in high school in the United States, but not after leaving the United States.

Chapter 11: Phoenix stained with blood, changes in mind

After separating from Reinhardt, Yuuki Maya went to the stadium to check the tickets for entry. He murmured to himself, "I hope the game won't end so quickly."

Ignoring Reinhardt's unexpected invitation, he walked away while reviewing the details of his previous confrontation with Zeus in his mind.

It can only be said that he was worthy of being the captain of the Greek team when he was only in the first year of high school. Zeus's strength was even stronger than he thought, and the opponent's tennis foundation was only comparable to his.

If Zeus's ability had not been too tricky, he would not have easily used the imperfect light ball just now.

In addition, there are very few people who can play with him to this level based on basic tennis alone, so Yuuki Maya was very excited and took so long to play one ball.

As for why the destructive power of his light ball does not seem as exaggerated as the Byodoin Phoenix later, it is because Yuuki Maya concentrated the power on one point, enhancing its penetrating power.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to penetrate the tennis racket of an opponent of Zeus's level so easily.

However, the light shot just now was also an experiment of his. He didn't even use the blood-activating suit to increase the force of the swing.

After turning a few corners following the instructions, he finally found his location.

"Maya, didn't you say you were just going to hang out at the tennis court? Why are you here now? The game is already halfway through."

As soon as Yuuki Maya sat down, Yuuki Eri, who was sitting next to him, asked with concern.

"It's okay mom, I just forgot what time the game started."

He made up an excuse to deal with it and his eyes were already looking towards the direction of the court.

Seeing this, Yuuki Eri didn't say much, but instead chattered to Yuuki Maya about the parts he had missed.

Just as Maya Yuki expected, the Japanese U17 team, which was not favored by everyone, lost the first and second doubles games in the match against the French U17 team.

We were defeated 0:2 at the start and were almost sentenced to death.

Then, when everyone thought that the Japanese team would be defeated 3:0, no one expected that the French U17 team would unexpectedly lose to the Japanese U17 team in the third singles.

And now, at this moment, the second singles is in progress, and the score on the field is

France vs Japan

First quarter (6-7)

Second quarter (3-5)

In this situation, anyone could see that the Japanese team was about to tie the total score to 2-2 by relying on singles after losing two games in a row.

The Japanese team's second singles player, Maya Yuuki, was recognized at a glance.

The man with the appearance of an old man is naturally Kijujiro.

"Black Jack Knife!"

With a roar from Kijujiro on the field, the French player on the opposite side was unable to withstand the powerful return ball. He was knocked out and fell to the ground with a painful expression.

Dudu——dudu——

The referee blew a sharp whistle, officially announcing that the Japanese team had won the singles match.

This means that the total score between the two sides is 2:2, and the next singles match will determine who will be the winner today.

And if the Japanese team wins this game, it will be a shocking upset.

Because this means that the Japanese team is very likely to break through smoothly and make it out of the group stage historically.

"Neon!"

"Neon!"

"Neon!"

At this moment, after a brief silence in the conference hall, a tsunami-like shouting broke out the next moment.

In addition to the hometown audience who came to watch the Japanese team, even non-French supporters were cheering for the Japanese team.

There is no other reason. Before the game started, the spectators who came to watch felt that there was not much suspense in today's game and that the French team would win steadily.

But now, after personally experiencing the Japanese team's Jedi counterattack, no one dares to say that the French team can win the next singles match 100%.

The pressure has come to the French team.

"No wonder that Byodoin Phoenix is ​​so upset about this match. This is indeed the best chance to advance. Unfortunately—"

Witnessing this moment with her own eyes, Mayuda Yuuki could fully understand the other person's feelings.

His eyes were now looking towards the Japanese team's players' exit channel, waiting calmly.

Time passed, the break ended, and the first singles match officially began.

However, France's No. 1 singles player Duke Watanabe was already standing in the court waiting, but on the other hand, Japan's No. 1 singles player had not yet appeared.

This strange scene also made the audience present a little confused. They didn’t know what the situation meant.

Just before the referee was about to announce that the Japanese team had forfeited the game, a blond young man covered in blood and bandages finally staggered into the stadium from the player channel.

Byodoin Phoenix

That is the singles player of the Japanese team.

The moment he appeared, his opponent Watanabe showed an expression of disbelief.

Maya Yuuki, who was watching this scene in the audience, sighed slightly.

Sure enough, just as he remembered, Byodoin Phoenix was still injured while saving his opponent's sister.

The price he paid was that he could not use his full strength and was about to lose this singles game.

As a result, the Neon team lost a good opportunity to advance and was directly eliminated.

"The correctness of the world's will after non-interference..."

Maya Yuuki secretly speculated about what happened to the Byodoin Phoenix. He didn't think it was just an accident.

All this is just because the Byodoin Phoenix is ​​not the "protagonist" at this moment.

Everything he is working on now is to set the stage for the real protagonists.

"I wonder if the 'one-time defense' I set on that guy worked..."

The image of a boy with glasses and a paralyzed face flashed through her mind, and Yuuki Maya felt that she had to find some time to confirm it.

But now, he also had some different ideas from before.

Originally, he only planned to practice on his own, and at the critical moment, help his good friend Yukimura Seiichi to complete three consecutive national championships, and then wait until two years later to join the Japanese U17 team to go to the world championship to compete with masters from all over the world.

He does not intend to have unnecessary contact with some people and always regards himself as an outsider.
