The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Kikumaru Eiji took a breath and, looking at the dazed Oishi Shuichiro, continued to add evidence: "There are similar reports in the newspapers! Tokyo Sports, Tennis Times, and so on."

"The internet is in an uproar! BBS forums are full of posts discussing 'The Mysterious New Star Kamiya You Aims at Hyotei'!"

Eiji Kikumaru became more and more excited as he spoke, as if Oishi had missed the biggest tennis news of the century.

Shuichiro Oishi opened his mouth, his throat unusually hoarse from the thirst caused by the strenuous exercise, as if it were blocked by sand.

He tried several times, but could only manage to squeeze out a few dry words: "Emmm... how should I put it... I... I really don't pay much attention to the news and magazines..."

His voice trailed off, tinged with embarrassment.

Training and studies already take up most of his time, and even when he has a spare moment, he focuses on improving himself.

Therefore, he was indeed somewhat slow to realize, or rather, not very familiar with, the gossip and hot news in the tennis world.

Upon hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji froze completely, then looked the large rock up and down with the eyes of someone looking at a caveman.

It's 1996 already! The information age has begun!

Is it possible for someone to perfectly avoid all the hot social topics?! And even the explosive news about their future minister?!

In response, Shuichiro Oishi sighed, saying that if he had known beforehand that You Kamiya wanted the captain's position and was therefore challenging him...

Just after Saito Hide announced the verdict, several system messages appeared before Kamiya You's eyes:

You crushed two regional-level players with your exceptional skills.

[You have acquired: Illusion Technique - Magical Shackles, GOAT value +2]

Immediately, a small to medium-sized black bubble of knowledge appeared in Kamiya You's mind.

Kamiya You nodded in satisfaction.

Although the GOAT value was very low after the match, at least I finally got my hands on a Sharingan-related genjutsu.

Previously, he had relied on the Sharingan's built-in hypnosis based on powerful mental strength to construct illusions. Although the effect was good, it was still too crude.

This crude illusion technique has obvious weaknesses when facing opponents with strong mental strength, extremely tenacious will, or amazing insight.

In other words, if poorly constructed, it is easily detected and can be broken free of by brute force.

Now, the emergence of the Magical Shackles technique has solved this problem!

Although it is far inferior to Tsukuyomi, Kamiya Yo said that those who are content are always happy.

After all, Kikumaru and Oishi are only at the regional level, so defeating them and managing to unleash a genjutsu is already quite an achievement.

Before absorbing this knowledge, Kamiya You's gaze swept past Saito Shu, who had climbed down from the referee's chair and returned to the second and third-year section.

The gaze was directed towards Yuushi Oshitari, a boy with dark blue hair in the stands, who had been watching since he declared his intention to challenge the team, and who was also wearing the brown uniform of Hyotei Academy.

"Want to come down and have some fun?" Kamiya You raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"No, no, Kamiya-kun, please continue, you can continue."

Yuushi Oshitari waved his hand almost reflexively, decisively refusing, then pushed up his glasses and thought to himself:

Who knows?

On the first day of school, I missed the important opening ceremony and club activities because I took the wrong train.

Having just finished explaining things at the academic affairs office, I rushed straight to the tennis club, initially quite pleased to see an interesting challenge going on.

But then, an unexpected disaster struck; he has now become Kamiya's target?!

Yuushi Oshitari's eye twitched, then he put on a perfectly timed, slightly apologetic smile, as if to say, "Sorry to bother you, please ignore me."

He's not the type to be easily blinded by youthful passion, so he won't fight a monster like Kamiya You.

Even though he was in Osaka, he had heard about the recent news from Japan.

Moreover, he not only read the relevant reports carefully, but also specifically asked a professional to authenticate the photos in the magazines and newspapers.

The result was that the photos in those magazines showed no signs of being photoshopped, so this Kamiya-kun is a genuine, monstrous talent who defies common sense!

Today, having witnessed firsthand Kamiya You's continuous high-intensity battles up close, Oshitari Yuushi saw it all more clearly and was even more alarmed.

Kamiya You has played so many rounds, with countless opponents, each more intense than the last, but what about him?

Only a thin, almost negligible layer of sweat seeped from his forehead!

His breathing was as steady as if he had just finished a set of the most basic warm-up exercises, and the rise and fall of his chest was frighteningly regular, without the slightest disorder!

Their stamina reserves are simply bottomless!

This completely exceeded Shinobu's understanding of the limits of athletic endurance in the "human" species!

What made him feel a slight chill run down his spine and sent a cold shiver down his spine was that Kamiya You used the same racket throughout the entire game—a specially made racket with only two main strings that he had only heard of in rumors!

This means that the opponent not only possesses monstrous physical strength and explosive power, but also has reached an unbelievable and despair-inducing level in terms of ball control precision, subtle understanding and application of spin and power!

To play tennis with such dominance and pressure using a racket that is theoretically extremely difficult to control, demonstrates a level of technical skill and control that is more terrifying and more despair-inducing than simply relying on brute force!

In short, shall we go up and challenge Kamiya You, the Demon King?

That's not courage anymore, it's pure, unadulterated stupidity!

They felt they hadn't lost enough, or suffered enough, and wanted to deliberately add another bloody sacrifice to the new minister's upcoming "coronation ceremony"!

Anyway, Yuushi Oshitari said he would never do a business that would lose him so much money.

However, although he refused to fight Kamiya Yo, it doesn't mean that Oshitari Yuushi has no one he wants to challenge.

Thinking of this, Yuushi Oshitari glanced discreetly at the equally eye-catching, charismatic boy with purplish-gray hair standing in the corner of the court.

It would be interesting to fight this guy who came with Kamiya You.

Yuushi Oshitari thought to himself.

But he didn't speak immediately, because he keenly sensed that a perfect opportunity was about to come his way.

Kamiya You was slightly surprised by Oshitari Yuushi's polite refusal, but then he understood.

The Kansai wolf is indeed shrewd.

But it doesn't matter, since he's already a member of Hyotei, so we'll have to fight sooner or later.

"So——"

Kamiya You snapped his fingers with his left hand, and all eyes in the room were instantly drawn to him as if by an invisible force.
