The Prince of Tennis: From Data-Driven Tennis to the Pinnacle of His Career

Chapter 201 Fierce Competition

Four hours later, at the U17 training camp.

As the battle continued, more and more first-year high school students took to the field. After a whole morning of intense competition, there were no weaklings left on field number sixteen.

Despite this situation, Kagura Ichijin, who was sitting in an open space watching, remained completely calm.

There are only 20 spots available at venue number 16, but there are over 100 first-year high school students participating in the reshuffle battle today. Without strength far exceeding that of other first-year high school students, it would be difficult to secure that spot.

Soon, as Goro and Heimasa Murata, both on his roster, walked onto the court with rackets in hand and serious expressions, the doubles match officially began.

Today, these two will be challenging the former Rikkai University Affiliated High School doubles team, Kishimoto Aso and Handa Yoshimasa.

"A decisive game, blast/Murata serves."

"Murata, what should we do?"

Goro gripped his racket tightly, a wry smile appearing on his face.

Masato Kishimoto and Yoshimasa Handa were Rikkai University's ace doubles team during their junior high school years, and they made a name for themselves on the national stage.

Let alone them, even the doubles pairs from those traditionally strong schools wouldn't stand much of a chance against these two.

"We can only give it a try."

After taking a deep breath, Murata Heimasa walked straight towards the service area.

Kishimoto Asato and Handa Yoshimasa have already played several matches, so their form must have declined. If they can keep the score close, they still have a chance to win.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Murata Heimasa tossed the ball high into the air and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Kishimoto Mayo decisively swung his racket to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

'

"Bang!

""

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Yoshimasa Handa suddenly rushed to the net and hit a volley.

"0-15!"

"This is really troublesome."

Looking at the perfectly coordinated teamwork between Kishimoto Asato and Handa Yoshimasa on the other side, Todoroki's expression grew increasingly serious.

Their opponent was much stronger than they had anticipated; they had truly met their match this time.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Murata Heimasa's expression became even more focused.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Masato Kishimoto scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"0-30!"

"How can he be so strong?"

After losing another point, Murata Heimasa frowned and looked at Kishimoto Asato and Handa Yoshimasa opposite him with a surprised expression.

He originally wanted to drag the game into a protracted battle, but now it seems there is no chance. The opponent is in too good form. Even after a morning of positional switching, it has not affected the game at all.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve!"

Seeing Murata Heimasa standing there in a daze, Handa Yoshimasa casually slung his racket over his shoulder and impatiently urged him on.

Among the freshmen this year, the only doubles pair that could attract their attention was Tani Yoshiki Shin and Ishimaru Kanto, who had defeated them before.

As for the other doubles pairs, they pose absolutely no threat to them.

"hateful!"

After glaring fiercely at Yoshimasa Handa, Heimasa Murata walked back to the service area.

"Bang!"

"Bang!

""

"Bang!"

"0-40!"

After a few rounds, Yoshimasa Handa rushed to the net again and hit a short shot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a few rounds, Kishimoto Mayo scored directly with a powerful smash.

"Game, Todoroki/Murata, 0-1!"

After their serve was broken, Goro and Heimasa Murata looked at each other in dismay, their hands holding their rackets trembling slightly.

They never expected the difference in strength to be so great. Kishimoto Asato and Handa Yoshimasa were not only extremely sharp in their attacks, but also had no weaknesses in their defense. They were not even in the same league as them.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Yoshimasa Handa took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!

'

After a few rounds, Kishimoto Masato's eyes narrowed, and he decisively countered with both hands gripping the racket.

"lie!"

As a powerful impact came towards him, Goro's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, his racket was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

"15-0!"

"I'm so bored."

Kishimoto Mayo swung his racket, walked calmly to the baseline, and assumed a defensive stance.

Just like their previous matches, this game was one where, if they played even a little bit seriously, their opponents were completely helpless.

"There's nothing we can do about it, since the best players are all in the front areas."

Yoshimasa Handa yawned, then walked back to the service area, tossed the ball high into the air, and swung his racket forcefully.

That's the rule of the U17 training camp: whether they like it or not, they have to play positional battles, even if the opponents they face are weak each time.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"30-0!"

"40-0!"

"Game, Todoroki/Murata, 0-2!"

"The difference is so huge."

Kagura Ichijin, who had witnessed the entire scene, tapped his fingers lightly on the folder board, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.

Kishimoto Asato and Handa Yoshimasa are not only skilled in the Australian formation, but they can also "synchronize" their movements. However, this is of no use now. They have firmly suppressed Todoroki and Murata Heimasa simply by relying on their experience and physical qualities.

If Goro Todoroki and Heimasa Murata were truly weak, that would be one thing, but these two, despite being in the middle of the pack among first-year high school students, still couldn't do anything to each other and could only passively lose points.

"Ugh!"

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's instructions to check the five dimensions of these people.

Goro Todoroki (First year of high school)

Speed: 3.5

Power: 2.5

Stamina: 2.5

"As expected of Taniguchi and Ishimaru's old rivals, it won't be long before they make it to the front of the field."

Kagura Ichijin nodded to himself, then opened the folder on his lap and wrote down the five dimensions of Todoroki and Murata Heimasa.

He then wrote down the corresponding training plan based on the shortcomings of this doubles pair.

After doing all that, Kagura Ichijin ignored the unfinished match, slammed his folder shut, stood up, and walked toward another nearby court.

His time was very tight, since there was a lot of overlap in the order of appearance for the players on the roster. If he didn't want to miss anything, he absolutely couldn't spend too much time on one court.

A few minutes later, Kagura Ichijin arrived at another court and found a spot with a good view to sit down.

He then looked at the doubles match between Tenjin Kosuke and Hirari Junpei, as well as the former Shitenhoji doubles pair, Fukuda and Takagi, who were playing against each other.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service area, Takagi tossed the ball high into the air, then leaped into the air and swung his racket forcefully.

"lie!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Hira Rijunpei, holding the racket with both hands, decisively swung his racket to meet the attack.

But the moment the racket made contact with the ball, Hirai Junpei's face turned deathly pale. A powerful impact instantly spread to his arm, and the racket was sent flying, tumbling through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Game, Tenjin/Hiragi, 0-4!"

"Dunping, are you alright? If you really can't handle it, just let it go. Don't push yourself too hard."

Seeing Hirai Junpei's hands trembling, Tenjin Kosuke ran forward anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.

Although he knew that today's positional exchange was important, he didn't want Ritsuhira to get injured.

"Fortunately, it shouldn't affect the game."

Hirai Junpei bent down to pick up the racket, vigorously shook his aching hands, turned to look at Tenjin Kosuke, and gave a wry smile.

After learning about the rules of the U17 training camp, they were determined to secure a spot and not be kicked out of the camp.

However, reality was too cruel. Even though they had tried their best, they were still far behind.

"Ugh!"

After letting out a deep sigh, Tenjin Kosuke walked straight toward the service court.

I don't know who arranged this swap match, but they ended up running into the former Shitenhoji ace doubles pair, Fukuda and Takagi. This is just too much of a rip-off.

Even though they knew there were plenty of strong students among the first-year high school students, the chances of encountering one were still slim. After all, there were twenty spots available at venue number sixteen, but luck clearly wasn't on their side.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Tenjin Kosuke tossed the ball high into the air and swung his racket forcefully.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!

""

"0-15!"

After a few rounds, Fukuda suddenly rushed to the net and hit a short ball.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"0-30!"

After a few rounds, Takagi scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"Bang!"

中

"Bang!

'

"Bang!"

"0-40!"

"Game, Tenjin/Hiragi, 0-5!"

"Game, Tenjin/Hiragi, 0-6!"

"Match ended, 6-0, Fukuda/Takagi win!"

"The gap is too big."

-

Kagura Ichijin shook his head slightly as he watched Tenjin Kosuke and Hirai Junpei being swept away.

This match was a foregone conclusion. He had faced Fukuda and Takagi, two formidable seniors, in last year's national tournament. Their physical attributes and match experience were impeccable, making them a top-tier national doubles pair.

However, Tenjin Kosuke and Heiri Junpei are far inferior. Their strength is only in the lower middle range among first-year high school students. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be difficult for them to stay in the U17 training camp.

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's commands to check the five dimensions of these people.

Tenjin Kosuke (First year of high school)

Speed: 2.5

Power: 2.5

Stamina: 2.5

Spirit: 2.5

Technology: 2.5

Total: 12.5

"They're definitely not in the same league."

Seeing this huge difference in the five dimensions, Kagura Ichijin opened the folder again and wrote down the five dimensions of Tenjin Kosuke and Hira Rijunpei. Then, based on the shortcomings of the two, he wrote a highly targeted training plan.

After finishing all this, Kagura Ichijin closed the folder, stood up, and stretched.

This kind of tedious work is very time-consuming, but fortunately he has already completed most of it, and all he needs to do next is adjust in time.
