The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Ryo Shishido and Gakuto Mukahi both had a black line appear on their foreheads at the same time. That Sengoku guy...

What a terrible mistake in choosing friends!

But as they left with heavy steps, they still offered their blessings to Kiyosumi Sengoku and Yuushi Oshitari with mixed feelings, saying, "Good luck."

Upon hearing this, Yuushi Oshitari nodded slightly, as if to say, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Sengoku Kiyosumi, still sporting that bright smile, casually waved her left hand at the departing two.

Oshitari and Sengoku quickly replaced Shishido Ryo and Mukahi Gakuto in their original positions.

then,

Keigo Atobe once again gracefully and elegantly placed his racket face down on the ground, his dark blue eyes sweeping over the two of them. "Which?"

Kiyosumi Sengoku smiled and said, "Rough."

With a deft flick of his wrist, Atobe Keigo sent his racket spinning rapidly across the ground.

Finally, with a "thud," it fell to the ground with the handle mark facing upwards.

Upon seeing this, the smile on Sengoku Kiyosumi's lips shifted directly to Atobe Keigo's face.

Keigo Atobe raised his chin slightly and declared in a declarative tone, "It's my serve!"

Then he strode towards the right service court.

Meanwhile, Sengoku Kiyosumi silently cheered herself up, thinking, "It's okay, it's alright if the opponent wins the service game. Lucky things are yet to come."

Yuushi Oshitari, on the other hand, remained calmly standing in place throughout.

After the three of them were in their places, Kamiya You said in a calm tone,

"The match begins! This match is between Keigo Atobe and Yuushi Oshitari & Kiyosumi Sengoku. Keigo Atobe will serve first."

But a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

What level of strength could Sengoku and Oshitari force Atobe to display?

He slightly turned his body, lowered his center of gravity, and firmly held the tennis ball in his palm with his five fingers.

Then they launched the kickoff!

"Bang!"

A crisp, clean sound of the ball hitting the court rang out! The tennis ball transformed into a pale yellow streak of light, tearing through the air and hurtling towards the half of the court between Kiyosumi Sengoku and Yuushi Oshitari with astonishing initial velocity!

Almost the instant the tennis ball crossed the net, Sengoku Kiyosumi's unique dynamic vision was activated.

In his visual world, the trajectory of a high-speed tennis ball seems to be stretched and slowed down by an invisible force, like a slow-motion scene in a movie.

No spin! A standard flat serve! The ball lands at the apex of the inverted triangle shape to the right rear of the service court.

As for the ejection direction after landing, it is to the outer left corner.

After completing the calculations, Sengoku Kiyosumi sprang into action as if he had springs under his feet.

He took a large step forward and to the left, lowering his center of gravity considerably, and just as the tennis ball bounced, he unleashed a powerful forehand smash.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew back to Atobe Keigo's half of the court with even greater speed than it had come from!

"Wha...what?! Atobe's serve was returned?!"

On the sidelines, Shishido Ryo, who had just suffered a terrible defeat in Atobe's serve and was practically helpless, cried out in surprise.

Mukahi Gakuto also gasped and clenched his fists tightly.

Atobe Keigo raised an eyebrow slightly.

Oh? Is this the dynamic vision mentioned in the intelligence report?

He thought to himself, "He judged the landing point and the direction of the bounce not long after my ball passed the net... He's really got some skills."

However, it's still far from being as terrifying as Kamiya's almost 'predictive' predictions.

Despite his thoughts, Atobe Keigo's steps remained incredibly swift. He quickly ran to the vicinity of the landing point on the right, and then flicked his wrist...

"Bang!"

The tennis ball, with strong backspin, flew towards the area that Yuushi Oshitari was responsible for.

The ball was low and flat, bounced very low after landing, and had a strong sidespin.

Although Yuushi Oshitari judged the general direction based on his experience and started moving his body in time, he was ultimately two beats too slow and failed to control the ball.

"Atobe Keigo's score! 15-0!"

Sengoku Kiyosumi's eyes narrowed slightly. Atobe's strength was indeed formidable; it seemed he would have to coordinate with Oshitari.

On the other side, Keigo Atobe didn't pause and quickly moved to the left service court.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball shot towards Yuushi Oshitari like a bullet once again.

"Shinobu!"

After the tennis ball crossed the net, Sengoku Kiyosumi's voice rang out, "The landing point is on the left sideline of the service court, two centimeters in front of the left inverted triangle, a flat hit, no spin."

A cold glint flashed on Yuushi Oshitari's glasses, and his body started moving almost at the same time that Kiyosumi Sengoku called out the time.

Based on his teammates' information and his own judgment, he precisely positioned himself on the ball's trajectory.

Then, take up your racket and attack!

"Bang!"

The tennis ball was imbued with tremendous kinetic energy and slammed into Atobe's half of the court.

"Beautiful!" A few cheers spontaneously rang out from the sidelines.

When Atobe Keigo saw this, his dark blue eyes crinkled with amusement.

Not bad at all. This doubles team is much stronger than the team that just blindly went all out before.

At least there is mutual trust, and they can make use of each other's strengths to make up for their own weaknesses.

As he thought about it, he calmly and gracefully approached the new landing spot and then swung his racket with power.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball hurtled towards the area that Kiyosumi Sengoku was in charge of.

Sengoku Kiyosumi quickly positioned himself and prepared to counter the attack.

However, he completely underestimated the power contained in Atobe Keigo's powerful return shot.

The moment the racket touched the tennis ball, a tremendous, spin-driven impact slammed into his arm.

Sengoku Kiyosumi felt a numbness in his hand, and the racket slipped from his grasp.

The racket flew a distance in the air before hitting the ground with a "thud".

As for the tennis ball? It bounced out of bounds without any surprise.

"Atobe Keigo's score! 30-0!"

Atobe Keigo remained silent in the face of the result, only a slight upturn of his lips, radiating pride and confidence.

Then, he moved steadily to the other side of the service court.

Standing in the service court, Atobe Keigo's dark blue eyes locked onto the fluorescent yellow tennis ball in his hand, thinking to himself:

This boring cycle of him serving, the opponent returning, and him returning again should come to an end.

With that thought in mind, he gently tossed the tennis ball up and down in his hand, repeating this several times, each bounce carrying a breathtaking rhythm.

Then, he tossed the ball high.

Under the sunlight, the muscles in his arms were perfectly defined, exuding a powerful and beautiful aura.

He then took off into the air.

Just as the racket and ball were about to make contact, he suddenly exerted force with his wrist, unleashing a magnificent slice.

"Clang!"

The tennis ball shot out towards the service court in front of Sengoku Kiyosumi.

"Watch my Tannhäuser serve!"

Atobe Keigo's magnetic voice resonated throughout the venue.

On the other side, Sengoku Kiyosumi was completely focused, immediately beginning to analyze the tennis ball as it crossed the net and entered the range of his dynamic vision.

What a powerful and unique spin!

Although she managed to find a landing point, Sengoku Kiyosumi found it unusually difficult.

Moreover, he had a premonition that if he couldn't break the spin of this ball, he probably wouldn't be able to retaliate.

Tannhäuser serves...

As he ran, Kiyosumi Sengoku tried to find the possible characteristics of the ball from the name, and then deduce the solution.
