The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 108 Data, isn't that something that can be modified at will?

With the final thud of the racket, the mark at the end of the handle briefly reflected the sunlight, and then the square "A" at the bottom of the handle became visible.

"Then—" Liu Lianji paused for a moment and made a "please" gesture, "You serve first, we'll choose the left half of the court."

Kamiya You raised an eyebrow. Hmm?

It's very rare to give up the first serve like this.

Then, Kamiya You glanced at Shishido Ryo and saw that he also had a "you guys go first" expression on his face, and thought to himself:

It seems the data professor wanted to collect data in advance, so he persuaded the user to give up the right to serve.

But isn't data something that can be modified at will?

With this thought in mind, Kamiya You's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and then he said, "Then thank you for your 'condescension'."

Both sides took their positions and began a five-minute pre-match warm-up.

Near the baseline, Kikumaru Eiji jumped back and forth, making a few soft "hey-ya" sounds as he did so. Then he suddenly stopped and said, "Hey, Captain, we don't think we discussed tactics."

Upon hearing this, Kamiya You, who was doing his warm-up exercises in a dashing and stylish manner, raised an eyebrow. "Tactics? We don't need that kind of thing."

"Simply dividing the area into zones will suffice."

"Hmm, I remember you usually like to go online. So, after you finish serving or receiving..."

Kamiya You pointed with his racket, "The first half is yours, the second half is mine."

"Just shout if you can't catch the ball in time."

Eiji Kikumaru stuck out his tongue. "Okay."

As expected of a minister, that confident and reassuring demeanor is truly admirable!

Five minutes later, both sides took their stances, and then the referee announced, "I declare the match open!"

"The match between Kamiya Yo & Kikumaru Eiji and Yanagi Renji & Shishido Ryo has ended."

"It's now the service game for Kamiya Yo and Kikumaru Eiji, with Kamiya Yo serving first."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Renji Yanagi opened his eyes and, together with Ryo Shishido, focused intently on Yo Kamiya's figure, especially his right hand holding the racket.

"Smack."

Kamiya You precisely caught the tennis ball thrown by the caddie, and then, unhurriedly, bounced it a few times, "Thud—thud—thud—"

The sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground created a rhythmic drumbeat, each beat resonating in the hearts of the two.

Suddenly, the sound of the ball bouncing abruptly stopped.

Kamiya You firmly grasped the tennis ball as it bounced up for the last time, his five fingers closing in.

Then he slightly turned his head, his sharp gaze sweeping over Yanagi Renji and Hishido Ryo across the room, as if he were scrutinizing and judging something.

It's quite rare to see Yanagi Renji with his eyes open.

However, this only shows that Liu is serious. Without special effects, it is still a bit lacking. The two people who were briefly and quickly swept by him felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, and their hands holding the rackets tightened involuntarily.

Over there, Kamiya Yo has moved!

With a casual flick of his wrist, the tennis ball soared into the azure sky in a perfect arc.

Then, he slightly bent his knees, arched his back, and then jumped!

The sunlight accentuated his handsome and upright figure, and his racket drew a sharp and beautiful golden trajectory in the sunlight, precisely meeting the falling tennis ball.

"Bang!"

With a loud thud, the tennis ball transformed into a golden streak almost invisible to the naked eye, tearing through the air and hurtling towards the dead corner of the service area on the left side of the court with overwhelming force.

Kamiya You watched the streak of light flash by, landed gracefully, casually twirled his racket, and revealed a confident smile.

This shot contained 70% of his speed and power, and it would be perfect as an opening ball to greet them.

Over there, Liu Lian ran quickly to the left, but he couldn't catch up!

The tennis ball encountered no resistance whatsoever; it simply hit the ground and then launched itself out in a spectacular fashion.

"Kamiya You & Kikumaru Eiji score, 15-0!" The referee's score announcement rang out promptly.

First point! Great!

Eiji Kikumaru happily clenched his fist, then looked at You Kamiya with admiration, "Wow! Captain! That shot was so fast!"

Kamiya Yo simply nodded casually at Kikumaru Eiji, as if that earth-shattering serve was nothing more than a speck of dust brushed off his sleeve.

Renji Yanagi, who lost the first point, said he wasn't surprised. After all, Kamiya-kun was a monster who defeated their captain and vice-captain, so it was normal for him to score in the first place.

Therefore, Yanagi Renji's expression remained unchanged. He was simply analyzing the data from that last serve in his mind at lightning speed. A serve speed of at least 200 km/h meant that Kamiya's normal serve speed was roughly equivalent to Sanada's lightning-fast serve.

Although it was expected to be tricky, this was still a bit too tricky. It is known that Kamiya's normal speed is the same as Sanada's speed after he uses his ultimate move. According to the data from his training match with Sanada when they were at Rikkai University, Renji Yanagi said that there is a 99% chance that he will not be able to return a single ball from Kamiya's high-speed normal serve.

And this is just the normal competition. Once Kamiya-kun activates his unique "Fire Release," then forget about retaliating; it would be a miracle if he didn't end up in the hospital with burns.

However, if we target Eiji Kikumaru and use him as a breakthrough point—

Renji Yanagi regretfully discovered that this was also difficult to achieve, because, according to intelligence, Kamiya-kun had a way of teleporting instantly regardless of distance, and could use it multiple times. Therefore, according to his speculation, unless the opponent was two national-level players, Kamiya-kun could perfectly defend both halves of the court by himself.

And at the national level—neither he nor Hu are clearly among them.

So————

A dark glint flashed in Yanagi Renji's eyes. The focus of this battle could only be on recording Kikumaru Eiji's specific stats, and on trying to force out as much of Kamiya's strength as possible, while also giving himself a stress test.

Let's see if he can break through his limits under Kamiya's pressure.

Eiji Kikumaru caught the tennis ball thrown by the caddie with precision, his face beaming with eager excitement.

He imitated Kamiya You's movements and bounced the ball a few times. Although his rhythm was slightly inferior, his movements were still quite smooth.

Then, he tossed the tennis ball high into the air, his body stretching out softly as he leaped, "Thump."

As soon as the ball was released, Eiji Kikumaru did not hesitate at all. He immediately pushed off the ground and rushed forward, like a nimble cat, gently and quickly pouncing towards the net.

His racket caught the tennis ball that Ryo Shishido hit back perfectly.

But when he looked closely, he felt as if he were facing a vast, fully spread net, with no way to begin.

All I saw was —
