The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

One month later,

On the highway,

A black Lexus LS400 sped away, leaving everyone else in the dust.

inside the car,

Kamiya You leaned back in his seat, casually glancing at the quarterfinal matchups printed on a white sheet of paper:

Stadium 1: Genichiro Sanada vs. Ryo Shishido

Court 2: Kunimitsu Tezuka vs. Shinji Akiyama

Court No. 16: Kamiya You vs. Sengoku Kiyosumi

Court No. 17: Seiichi Yukimura vs. Bunta Marui

To be honest, Kamiya You was not very satisfied with being drawn as Sengoku Kiyosumi's opponent in the quarterfinals after the single-elimination tournament.

In Kamiya You's opinion, the best schedule would be for him to play Sanada in the quarterfinals, Tezuka in the semifinals, and Yukimura in the finals, taking down all three important players at once.

After all, at this point in time, only these three people can reach the national level after activating their ultimate skills, and fighting them will not result in any reduction in skill level.

However, thinking about it from another angle, Kamiya You felt that no matter what, beating Sengoku Kiyosumi was better than beating a random random guy, Akiyama Shinji.

After reviewing the match results, Kamiya You casually placed the blank sheet of paper aside, while Fujii Yuko, who had been closely monitoring the situation, immediately seized the opportunity to begin her work report:

"Young Master, your 61st sparring partner has been selected and can begin work in five days."

"Of the first 60 full-time sparring partners you recruited in Japan during this period, none of them have the potential to reach world-class or even professional level, and none of them are worth adding to the list of potential sparring partners."

"As for the sparring partners you need with scores between 25 and 30 in the five dimensions, those who meet the criteria are all in the U17 training camp."

"According to the intelligence, the head coach of the U17 training camp, Mifune Nyudo, will not agree to let anyone out as a sparring partner unless the master or Mr. Sakaki intervenes."

"So, is it necessary to...?"

Kamiya You waved his hand, ignoring Fujii Yuko's words, "There's no need. Since I've already announced that I'm recruiting sparring partners, it shouldn't be long after this tournament ends that U17 will send someone over to be a sparring partner."

Upon hearing this, and connecting it to the core personality of Mifune Nyudo, who was passionate about cultivating tennis talent for Japan, Fujii Yuko nodded knowingly, "Young Master is right."

"However, speaking of this tournament, I think you need to pay special attention to Yukimura Seiichi, because he once demonstrated a ball technique called 'annihilation of the five senses' during an exchange match in elementary school."

Although Kamiya You had not asked about the opponent's information beforehand, Fujii Yuko believed that a qualified personal maid must take everything into account.

After all, it's the young master's business whether he asks or not, but whether she understands or not, and ultimately whether she says anything or not, is her business.

"Based on the intelligence department's analysis, they suggest that you, young master, directly use a weakened version of 'murderous' tennis, eliminating Yukimura Seiichi from the game before his five senses are neutralized."

With a smile, Yuko Fujii spoke about the terrifying topic, "The reason the intelligence personnel advised against you playing 'murderous' tennis, young master, is because there's no death indicator in this tournament."

"Therefore, if an opponent dies, especially if the deceased is a primary school tennis prodigy, the Kamiya Group is easily caught in a compromising situation by its opponents and faces a media frenzy."

"Most importantly, this could lead to a public outcry, which would be detrimental to your personal safety, young master. After all, one man can't fight against many people."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard Seiichi Sakai, who had been acting like a wooden statue, interjected, his eyes flashing with both fierceness and greed.

"If anything unexpected happens during today's match, I will protect the young master."

Kamiya You's face remained expressionless as he thought to himself:

Ah, I see. The money-making gene of the Money-Making Hermit is stirring again.

In other words, Sakai is quite burly and has a fierce appearance, so having him around can effectively ward off some irrational advances from women.

And this guy seems to have eaten the Money-Giving Fruit from One Piece, his strength changes with the amount of money he receives.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to let this guy, whose appearance is hard to describe, be his bodyguard.

After all, with his current sixth sense and mastery of teleportation, dodging bullets is no problem for him. And as long as he has a racket in his hand, even a football team of kidnappers wouldn't be enough for him to handle.

Upon hearing this, Fujii Yuko glared at Sakai Seiichi and continued, "Moreover, this is not conducive to the talent poaching plan you formulated earlier, young master."

Kamiya Yoichi raised an eyebrow, not saying that he wanted to experience the destruction of the five senses, but instead said directly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

The rest of the journey was silent.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Mingde Tennis Forest Sports Park, the venue for this competition.

After getting off the bus, Kamiya You looked at the sign that read "Mingde Tennis Forest Sports Park" and the information about the venue automatically came to mind.

Meitoku Tennis Forest Sports Park is one of the most important tennis competition venues in Tokyo, having hosted major tournaments such as the Pan Pacific Open and the Japan Open.

The park features 36 hard courts, 18 grass courts, and the Mingde Sports Centre, located in the center of the park, which can accommodate 20,000 spectators.

The Mingde Sports Center only hosts the semi-finals or finals of important events. The finals of the Japan National Youth Championship for primary school students, in which he participated, can only be held here.

However, outside of competition hours, Japanese citizens can reserve the outdoor tennis courts at this forest sports park for free for practice or private matches.

Besides the Meitoku Tennis Forest Sports Park, there are nearly a thousand free tennis courts in Tokyo alone in this world derived from The Prince of Tennis, ranging from tennis parks to street tennis courts that are regularly maintained.

Compared to the previous life, the tennis atmosphere is now pervasive, and it has given tennis prodigies from poor families a chance to discover their tennis talents.

Sometimes, an opportunity is really important.

Kamiya You thought of some things from his past life and couldn't help but sigh. Then he took Fujii Yuko and Sakai Seiichi to the registration area and headed straight for Court 16.

At this time, a number of spectators had gathered outside Court 16, but it was not to the point where one had to squeeze and fight to get a good viewing spot. Tennis reporters and scouts were only a minority.

The contrast with the bustling crowd outside the adjacent tennis court No. 17 was stark.

Kamiya You didn't really comment on this, since it was perfectly normal for Yukimura Seiichi to be popular as a native Japanese elementary school genius.

Furthermore, if history had followed its course, Yukimura Seiichi would not only have won the national junior tennis championship for elementary school students, but would also have led Rikkai University to a two-peat, remaining undefeated until the protagonist, Echizen Ryoma, appeared, earning him the title of "Child of God."

Of course, everything changed after he arrived.

As Kamiya looked at Yukimura Seiichi, with his short, slightly wavy dark blue hair and a green sports headband, standing in front of the 17th tennis court, he once again felt a strange sense of déjà vu, a feeling that Yukimura had come, seen, and changed.
