The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

The next day at 3:30 PM, outside the Hyotei Academy.

A boy with a brown bowl cut hairstyle was furtively patrolling the wall.

Seeing the inverted triangular iron thorns on the wall, he spat under his breath, "Tsk, troublesome."

Fortunately, he was prepared.

Akutsu Jin's gaze quickly locked onto an old tree with strong branches and a dense canopy not far outside the wall.

Its thick branches, like the arms of a giant, arrogantly stretch into the wall.

A hint of almost wild cunning flashed across his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Akutsu Jin, like a nimble monkey, quickly climbed up the tree trunk.

After regaining his balance at a high altitude, he quickly pulled out a bundle of sturdy rope that he had prepared beforehand from his backpack.

With a deft flick of his wrist, the rope loop precisely caught a sturdy-looking tree branch inside the wall.

After tugging a few times to confirm it was in the right place, he took a deep breath, kicked off the tree trunk with both legs, and used the force to swing like a swing towards the inside of the wall.

Just as the sharp edge of the iron thorns was about to graze his trouser leg, he nimbly pulled his leg back, curled up, and landed steadily on the grass inside the wall with a less-than-elegant movement, stirring up a small patch of dust.

After landing, he quickly curled up and rolled into the nearest bush, held his breath, and listened intently.

Only after confirming that he hadn't attracted attention did he stand up crouching low and cautiously look around.

Nobody's here...

very good!

Akutsu Jin stealthily walked around people, and finally found his way to the vicinity of Hyotei Tennis Club based on the map.

He chose a relatively secluded corner of the wall again, preparing to make his final climb.

However, just as his hands gripped the top of the wall and his toes lifted off the ground,

An irresistible, clamp-like force suddenly seized his collar by the back of his neck!

The immense force yanked him off the wall, and his feet awkwardly slammed back onto the ground.

The anger of having his actions abruptly interrupted momentarily clouded Akutsu Jin's mind.

"what?!"

He abruptly turned his head, his face filled with offended irritability and impatience, his brown hair whipping wildly with the movement.

But when he saw the person behind him clearly, the curse that was about to burst out caught in his throat.

What comes into view is a "wall" made of muscles.

Seiichi Sakai was so muscular that he could be compared to an ancient Greek sculpture. His bronze skin was covered with clearly defined, bulging muscles that looked as if they were about to burst his ordinary sportswear.

He looked down at Akutsu, his square face expressionless.

Akutsu's arrogant arrogance instantly vanished as if doused with a bucket of ice water.

The displeasure on his face receded quickly like the tide, replaced by a pragmatic stiffness.

He blinked rapidly, abruptly changing the subject, his voice unconsciously softening slightly, "M-Uncle, this is the Hyotei Tennis Club, right? I'm here to find someone."

However, Seiichi Sakai seemed not to hear his explanation and was too lazy to waste any words on him. He took out his phone with his other hand and quickly sent a few messages.

After seeing the reply, he waited for five minutes, and then, as if he were picking up a disobedient little leopard, he firmly gripped Akutsu's collar with his huge hand, turned around and strode forward, dragging the trespasser straight toward the court.

Akutsu was dragged around unsteadily, trying to struggle but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree. He could only feel the discomfort of the collar tightening around his neck, and he felt a sense of frustration.

Five minutes earlier, in the center of the Ice Emperor Stadium...

Kamiya Yosuke gathered all the members together.

Standing to his left was a man in a sharp dark suit, with his golden-brown hair neatly combed back and a face as cold and stern as a marble sculpture. This was none other than the newly appointed coach, Taro Sakaki.

On the right is Fujii Yuko, who is also wearing a pure black business suit.

To the far right of the court stood training planners and sparring partners, all dressed in uniform and standing ramrod straight.

Among them, a sparring partner with short, slightly wavy blond hair and round-framed glasses appeared somewhat languid.

In front of him stood members of each grade, dressed in blue and white team uniforms, their posture upright.

"Everyone," Kamiya You's voice rang out clearly and steadily.

"Starting today, professional training planners and sparring partners sponsored by the Kamiya Group will officially join the tennis department."

"At the request of the Kamiya Group, the academy will also open its equipment room and professional training facilities, which were specially approved for the tennis club."

"These are the conditions I'm offering you that far surpass those of other school tennis clubs. You should make good use of them and cherish them."

At this point in Kamiya You's speech, the neatly arranged club members secretly exchanged glances.

Holy crap!

That's awesome!

Hyotei Tennis Club has such amazing facilities!

It's worth noting that some private schools don't even have many tennis courts, and the tennis clubs of some public schools are only slightly better than those in the wild.

Not to mention the professionals who serve the tennis department!

"As for this one," Kamiya You gestured to Sakaki Taro beside him with his hand, "he will be the future coach of the Hyotei Tennis Club."

Taro Sakaki's jawline tightened, and his cold gaze, like an invisible searchlight, slowly swept over every young and ambitious face in front of him.

He slowly began, "From now on, you can call me Coach Sakaki."

"Coach Sakaki!"

A loud and powerful greeting instantly resounded throughout the stadium.

Then, Sakaki Taro continued,

"From now on, the school's selection competition will be held every two months."

"The first school selection competition will be held in six days. It will use a combination of group round-robin and ranking matches to select 8 first team members and 5 second team members."

"The top five players in the ranking tournaments will receive tennis-specific scholarships of varying amounts."

"In addition, I will conduct regular assessments of everyone's progress. The top three performers with the greatest improvement each month will receive a progress award, which is open to all members of the tennis club."

"You can receive both the Improvement Award and the Ranking Award."

Finally, members whose abilities reach the national level can receive a talent award on their own.

After Sakaki Taro finished announcing the important matters, Fujii Yuko stepped forward at the opportune moment and smoothly continued,

"Members who are interested in participating in the school's selection competition can submit their registration forms to me."

"I will also be in charge of matters related to scholarship application. If you have any questions, you can contact me for consultation."

"The training planning team will soon conduct basic physical fitness and specialized technical numerical tests on all members."

"The test results will be used by the training planner team to develop a personalized training plan for each person."

After saying that, Yuko Fujii took half a step back.

At that moment, Kamiya You waved his hand at the opportune moment.

"above."

"Then, prepare for the test."

The team members were preparing to test the data according to the instructions when, at that moment, Seiichi Sakai's deep, resonant voice rang out clearly.

"Minister, we've caught a kid from another school who snuck in."
