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

Chapter 203 A Top-Tier High School Student

A few days later, the U17 training camp.

Kagura Ichijin, who arrived at venue number three early, found a spot with a wide-open view and sat down.

Today is the deadline set by Takuchi Ryuji for submitting the report, and there are still five freshmen whose data he hasn't filled in on the list.

Kagura Ichijin wasn't worried about this at all, since this amount of work was nothing to him.

Soon, with Akuto Mitsuya and Toshio Takei from Court 3 entering the court, the positional switch officially began.

"One game to decide the winner, Takei serves."

"You've made it to court number four so quickly, that's quite impressive."

Looking at Mitsuya Akuto at the net, Takei Toshio gripped his racket tightly and said with a serious expression.

There are very few freshmen who can advance to the front of the field so quickly. Facing such a strong opponent with real skills, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

"It's alright."

Mitsuya Akuto adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

Making it to court number four wasn't difficult for him. If it weren't for the fact that the U17 training camp didn't allow for casual challenges, he would have even considered competing against the players on court number one.

"Hmph! You're quite confident, but that's where you end up."

Takei Toshio snorted, hoisted his racket onto his shoulder, and then turned and walked toward the service court.

As a player in court number three, he naturally wouldn't easily give up his position.

Even though he knew in his heart that Mitsuya Akutsu was not someone to be trifled with, he was no pushover either.

"Really? That's not necessarily true."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Mitsuya Akuto's lips as he walked directly to the receiving area and assumed a defensive stance.

Although the players on the front courts in the U17 training camp are generally stronger, he is still confident of defeating his opponents.

"Bang!"

After reaching the service court, Toshio Takei took a deep breath, tossed the ball high into the air, his arm muscles bulged, and he swung the racket forcefully.

"lie!"

After running to the ball's landing point, Mitsuya Akuto's eyes sharpened, and he decisively swung his racket to meet the attack.

But the moment the racket made contact with the tennis ball, his expression changed instantly. As a powerful impact spread to his arm, the racket was knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground with a loud thud.

"15-0!"

"Such strong force."

Mitsuya Akutō twisted his slightly sore wrist, then walked directly to the racket, bent down, and picked it up.

He underestimated the players in field number three; he hadn't expected them to have such good physical abilities.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Toshio Takei became even more focused.

"Bang!"

After quickly running to the ball's landing point, this time Mitsuya Akuto didn't underestimate the ball and gripped the racket handle tightly with both hands to meet the attack.

As the powerful impact came head-on, he flicked his wrist, using spin to reduce the ball's force, and then slammed the ball back.

"Bang!"

"Bang!

'

"Bang!"

After more than twenty rounds, Mitsuya Akuto suddenly rushed to the net and hit a volley.

"15-15!"

"So adaptable? He's definitely not easy to deal with."

Looking at Mitsuya Akutsu, who remained calm and collected, Takei Toshio's expression grew increasingly serious.

His opponent was not only incredibly fast, but also extremely skilled; he had finally met his match.

"Bang!

'

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

'

"30-15!"

""

After more than thirty rounds, Toshio Takei scored directly with a baseline cross-court shot.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"30-30!"

'

After more than forty rounds, taking advantage of Takei Toshio's delayed return to defense, Mitsuya Akuto hit the ball directly into the opposite corner.

"Bang!"

-

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"40-30!"

After more than thirty rounds, Toshio Takei scored directly with a powerful smash.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!

""

-

"Game, Toshio Takei, 1-0!"

"Game, Toshio Takei, 1-1!"

"Game, Toshio Takei, 2-1!"

"Game, Toshio Takei, 2-2!"

"There should be no suspense now."

Watching Mitsuya Akuto tie the score again, Kagura Ichijin, who was watching from the sidelines, nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.

He had played against Ajuto Mitsuya last year, and Mitsuya's data tennis gave him a lot of trouble.

The fact that Mitsuya Akutō is now playing on par with Takei Toshio without using data tennis speaks volumes.

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's commands and began checking the five...

dimension.

Mitsuya Akuto (First year of high school)

Speed: 4

Power: 3

Stamina: 3

Spirit: 5

Technology: 4.5

Total: 19.5

Toshio Takei (Second year of high school)

Speed: 3

Power: 4.5

Stamina: 4

Spirit: 3

Technology: 4

Total: 18.5

"He has indeed become much stronger, but his physical fitness still needs improvement."

With a "snap," Kagura Ichijin opened the folder and then took out a pen to write down Mitsuya Akutō's data.

He then wrote a highly targeted training plan based on Mitsuya Akuto's shortcomings.

After doing all that, he ignored the still undecided match, closed his folder, stood up, and walked toward another nearby court.

There was a player there who caught his attention, and he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to observe him.

Just five minutes later, Kagura Ichijin arrived at another court, once again skillfully found a place with a good view and sat down, then looked towards the court.

Not long after, with Sekine Kazuki and Tokugawa Kazuya from venue number three stepping onto the field, the positional change match officially began.

"A single game decides the outcome; Sekine serves."

"His opponent was actually him."

Looking at the cold-faced Tokugawa Kazuya across from him, Sekine Kazuki involuntarily tightened his grip on the racket, his expression instantly becoming extremely serious.

He knew better than anyone that he was unlikely to win this battle of position.

The opponent is the only freshman in this year's class who has already made it to court number three.

Even though he, like Tokugawa Kazuya, had never lost a single match, he understood the gap between them.

The fact that Tokugawa Kazuya was able to get ahead of all the first-year high school students speaks volumes.

Either the opponent has great potential and is highly valued by the coaching staff, or the opponent is stronger than all the freshmen; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be above everyone else.

"Bang!"

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

"Bang!"

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

"Bang!"

"Bang!

""

"Bang!"

After more than ten rounds, Tokugawa Kazuya scored directly with a baseline through ball.

"0-15!"

"Wow, that's amazing! There's not a single flaw in their defense."

Kazuki Sekine gripped his racket tightly, a hint of undisguised shock flashing in his eyes.

Are all the players who returned from overseas this solid in their fundamentals? No wonder Tokugawa Kazuya was able to break through the encirclement; he's truly remarkable.

"Bang!"

After serving again, Sekine Kazuki carefully observed Tokugawa Kazuya on the other side.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Kazuki Sekine flicked his wrist and unleashed a powerful slice.

"what?"

Seeing the tennis ball land and not bounce normally, but instead slide along the ground towards the out of bounds, Tokugawa Kazuya, who had just missed with his swing, was stunned.

He hadn't expected that there would be such skilled high school students in Japan; it was quite unexpected.

"15-15!"

"That's interesting."

Tokugawa Kazuya's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Sekine Kazuki across from him with great interest.

This Kazuki Sekine is different from the average high school student; it seems he needs to be a little more serious to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"15-30!"

After more than twenty rounds, Tokugawa Kazuya scored directly with a powerful smash.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

After a dozen or so rounds, Sekine Kazuki's eyes narrowed, and he once again unleashed a powerful slice.

"That kind of slice shot is no longer effective against me."

Tokugawa Kazuya suddenly quickened his pace and decisively swung his racket back before the ball even hit the ground.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew over the net at an extremely high speed and hit the corner diagonally opposite.

"15-40!"

"Has it been cracked? This is troublesome."

Seeing Tokugawa Kazuya's relaxed expression across from him, Sekine Kazuyoshi's face turned extremely ugly.

The opponent not only had an extremely strong ability to adapt, but also had ridiculously good physical fitness, making him much stronger than he had expected.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-1!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-2!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-3!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-4!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-5!"

"Game, Kazuyoshi Sekine, 0-6!"

"Match ended, 6-0, Tokugawa Kazuya wins!"

Despite the one-sided nature of the match, Kagura Ichijin remained calm while watching from the sidelines.

Kazuki Sekine was already very strong among the first-year high school students, but unfortunately he was unlucky and encountered the even stronger Kazuya Tokugawa.

Fortunately, one defeat won't have much of an impact. Given the strength that Kazuki Sekine has shown, he certainly won't stay in court number four for long.

After letting out a deep sigh, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's instructions and began to check the five dimensions of Sekine Kazuki and Tokugawa Kazuya.

Kazuki Sekine (First year of high school)

Speed: 4

Power: 3.5

Stamina: 3.5

Spirit: 2.5

Technology: 4.5

Total: 18

Kazuya Tokugawa (First year of high school)

Speed: 4.5

Power: 4.5

Stamina: 4.5

Spirit: 4.5

Technology: 4.5

Total: 22.5

"The gap is indeed quite large."

Upon seeing Tokugawa Kazuya's five dimensions, Kagura Ichijin's expression became increasingly complex.

Kazuya Tokugawa is indeed in a class of his own among this year's first-year high school students. He is much stronger than the other first-year students and would definitely be able to fight against the expeditionary force.

With a soft "snap," Kagura Ichijin opened the folder on his lap and then took out a pen to write down Sekine Kazuki's data.

Without pausing for long, he wrote a highly targeted training plan based on the shortcomings of Kazuki Sekine.

After finishing these tasks, Kagura Ichijin closed the folder, stood up, stretched, and walked towards the restaurant with light steps.

He had plenty of time; he was sure he could complete the task assigned to him by Takumi Ryuji before the positional battle ended.
