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

"Bang!"

After tossing the ball high into the air, Kagura Ijin swung his racket again!

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Xu Rulin!"

Genichiro Sanada neutralized the spin on the ball and delivered a precise slice.

"30-30!"

"So you're finally willing to use it?"

Seeing Sanada Genichiro unleash his final tactical form, Kagura Ichijin no longer held back, his eyes sharpening.

"Bang!"

……

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Xu Rulin!"

……

"Bang!"

Seeing Sanada Genichiro use a slice shot again, Kagura Ichijin rushed to the net and swung his racket quickly before the ball hit the ground, hitting the ball into the corner on the other side.

"40-30!"

"They found a way to defeat Xu Rulin so quickly."

Genichiro Sanada's face was solemn.

Of the four tactical forms, "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" and "Immovable Mountain," only "Unmovable Mountain" was not broken by Kagura Ikjin; the other three tactical forms were all broken.

It seems that a single tactical approach is no longer effective against Kagura Ichijin; he needs to use a combination of tactics.

"Bang!"

……

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Xu Rulin!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

Genichiro Sanada's eyes lit up, and he decisively rushed to the net and delivered a powerful smash.

"40-40!"

"You can do it like that?"

Kagura Ichijin was stunned when he saw Sanada Genichiro score in this way.

He can still counter a single tactical form, but if the four tactical forms of "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" are used in combination, it will be very difficult to defend against him no matter how he returns the ball.

"Kagura, this is a technique I specially prepared for Tezuka. Can you still counter it?"

Genichiro Sanada looked confident.

By combining the three tactical forms of swift as the wind, slow as the forest, and aggressive as fire, he can keep scoring against Kagura Ikjin, while Kagura Ikjin needs to break through his immovable mountain form in order to score against him.

Now he can attack or defend, and even if Kagura Ichijin is good at data tennis, he doesn't believe that Kagura Ichijin can turn the tide.

"I can't break it."

Kagura Ichijin shook his head and readily admitted it.

"But Tezuka can. Sanada, actually your Furin Kazan has a major flaw, you just haven't discovered it yet."

After Kagura Ichijin finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the service area.

Genichiro Sanada's moves seem perfect, but they become vulnerable when facing opponents with stronger physiques or special techniques.

However, he cannot do that yet. Sanada Genichiro's physical abilities are no weaker than his, and he also possesses the four tactical forms of "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain". In the event that a protracted battle fails, he really doesn't have any good countermeasures.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Genichiro Sanada was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head dismissively.

Kagura Ichijin must have lost his mind. He actually tried to distract him with words. How could he possibly fall for such a low-level psychological tactic?

"Bang!"

Kagura Ijin didn't say much, but chose to serve again.

He knew that no matter what he said now, Sanada Genichiro wouldn't believe him. Only by presenting the facts would Sanada Genichiro understand what he was saying.

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Xu Rulin!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Aggression burns like fire!"

……

"40—AD!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-0!"

Taking advantage of the break in Sanada Genichiro's serve, Kagura Ichijin silently recited the system's commands.

Genichiro Sanada (First year of junior high school)

Speed: 3

Power: 3.5

Stamina: 3

Spirit: 3

Technology: 4

Total: 16.5

"The five dimensions are actually that high."

Kagura Ichijin was somewhat surprised after seeing Sanada Genichiro's five dimensions.

He hadn't expected Sanada Genichiro to grow so quickly. It seemed that the match against Tezuka Kunimitsu had indeed been a significant stimulus for Sanada Genichiro.

He wasn't sure at first, but now it seems that Genichiro Sanada's strength has long reached the national level. He just hasn't encountered a strong opponent, which is why he hasn't shown his strength yet.

"Swift as the wind!"

It was Sanada Genichiro's turn to serve again.

"Bang!"

Kagura Ichijin ran to the ball's landing point and hit it directly into a corner that Sanada Genichiro couldn't reach.

"0-15!"

"What?"

Genichiro Sanada was stunned as the tennis ball rolled behind him. He had been scored on so easily?

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"Immovable as a mountain!"

……

"0-30!"

"How is this possible?"

Genichiro Sanada's face was filled with disbelief.

He clearly used the Immovable Mountain technique, so why did he still fail to catch it?

"Sanada, stop spacing out and serve!"

Kagura Ichijin offered a casual reminder.

"How did you do that?"

Genichiro Sanada's face was solemn.

This is no coincidence; Kagura Ikjin must have found a way to break the immovable mountain.

"As I just said, your Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain technique has flaws."

Kagura Ichijin said earnestly.

Genichiro Sanada's "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" is effective against average national-level players, but its effectiveness is limited against strong opponents.

To compensate for this, Genichiro Sanada later created the moves "Moving Like Thunder" and "Unpredictable Like the Shadows," which allowed him to stand out among many national-level players.

"I don't believe it!"

Genichiro Sanada's face turned ashen; he refused to believe that his prized "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain" technique had been so easily defeated.

"Swift as the wind!"

……

"Bang!"

……

"0-40!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-1!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-2!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-3!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-4!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-5!"

……

"Game, Genichiro Sanada, 2-6!"

……

"Match 3 is over, 6-2, Kagura Ikijin wins!"

……

"Congratulations to Yamabuki Junior High School for defeating Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School 3-0 to win the Kanto Tournament!"

As the referee's impassioned announcement faded, the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

The victorious Yamabuki members surged into the arena like a tidal wave, surrounding Kagura Ichijin and celebrating their hard-won victory.

Yamabuki Junior High School had never won the Kanto Tournament since its founding, but now things are different. They created a miracle, defeated the reigning champion Rikkai University, and stood at the top of the Kanto region.

This is a feat worthy of being recorded in the history of Yamabuki High School; they have fulfilled the dreams that many of their seniors had pursued.
