The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

The cost will be fully refunded, but you will still have to pay 4% interest per annum.

The line on the contract burned into his retina like a branding iron.

Akutsu Jin knew clearly that

If he fails after signing this contract, the resulting debt will be enough to drag him and his already struggling family into a deep abyss!

His future life will no longer be his own, but will be completely bound to the Kamiya Group's chariot, becoming a never-ending money-making machine, spending most of his life to repay this "investment".

He flipped the page impatiently, his eyes quickly scanning the other clauses.

If Party B signs another sponsor without authorization in the future, it shall return 150% of the training cost.

If a serious injury or illness (requiring assessment by an authoritative medical institution) prevents the continuation of a professional career, the contract may be terminated by negotiation, and the second party shall not be liable for return/compensation, and any bonuses already received need not be returned.

Ah, this is probably the only glimmer of humanity in this contract, but it also serves as a cold reminder of the vulnerability of a professional athlete.

Injuries and illnesses...

As for Chapter Five, "Legal Effect and Dispute Resolution"...

Akutsu Jin's lips curled into a cold, almost mocking smile.

Compared to a behemoth like the Kamiya Group, these few lines are nothing more than ornate decorations.

Finally, his gaze was fixed on the glaring blank line in the signature section of the contract.

To sign or not to sign?

Akutsu Jin gritted his teeth,

sign!

After all, Hyotei's top-notch training conditions... and those tempting prize money... all of this is exactly what he urgently needs right now.

more importantly--

"Whether they see my potential, want to profit from my future, or..."

Almsgiving...

The thought pierced his heart like a poisonous thorn. He jerked his head away, his lips parting into a grotesque, wild grin, his knuckles white from gripping the contract so tightly.

"Let's see who ends up using whom!"

The deep voice, like the roar of a wild beast, echoed in the silent room.

"Shinobu... Kamiya..." Akutsu Jin murmured, chewing on the two names.

"Just you wait!"

Akutsu Jin clenched his fists. He would definitely use the resources given to him by Kamiya to develop the strength to crush him!

First defeat Oshitari, then defeat the current vice-captain, and finally take the captain's position from him!

Make him regret handing him this contract today!

With that thought in mind, he suddenly grabbed the cheap black pen on the table and slammed the tip into the blank space in the signature column for Party B.

"Swish—swish—"

The sound of the pen nib gliding across the paper was exceptionally clear, carrying a resolute, tearing quality.

He didn't just sign his name; he signed a declaration of war, a vow to stake everything.

Three bold, unrestrained characters—"Akuzu Jin"—like the man himself, are imprinted on the contract with a wild tension and an undeniable presence.

As he finished the last stroke, he exhaled a long, deep breath. He could hear his heart pounding, filled with excitement and a fighting spirit!

After signing his name, he let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the business card with Fujii Yuko's contact information, pushed open the door, and walked towards the old rotary landline phone in the living room.

My fingers had just touched the cold dial when they suddenly stopped.

Shouldn't we tell that old woman about this first?

In fact, the moment he pushed open the door, Akutsu Yuki, who had been listening intently in the kitchen, heard the noise.

She hadn't pressed him for details before because she was worried it would trigger Ah Ren's rebellious streak, so despite her concern, she continued to busy herself in the kitchen.

"Hey, old woman!"

Akutsu Jin's voice rang out sharply, instantly shattering the illusion of "busyness" in the kitchen.

"Hey! They're here!"

Akutsu Yuki immediately put down the cleaver and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

Akutsu Jin, with his signature fierce expression, roughly took the signed contract.

It slammed down with a "thud" onto the old, peeling coffee table in the living room.

Looking at the document, Akutsu Yuuki's face showed a puzzled expression.

She first carefully wiped the water stains on her hands on her apron, then picked up the heavy contract.

When phrases like "Tennis Rising Star Contract," "Free Admission to Hyotei Academy," "Full Scholarship," "Professional Development Program," "Bonus Clause," and "Signature of Kamiya Group Talent Department" came into view one after another,

Akutsu Yuki's eyes widened, and her mouth opened so wide it could almost fit a duck egg.

"!!!"

The immense shock left her speechless for a moment.

Several seconds passed before she found her voice, and with an incredulous tremor, she blurted out:

"Ah Ren! This...this...you haven't been tricked, have you?!"

Although she knew her son seemed to have some "unorthodox" talent in street fighting and tennis, and the neighbors would occasionally praise his athletic ability,

But she never dreamed that his talent was so great that a behemoth like the Kamiya Group, which only appeared on TV financial news, would offer him such a valuable talent development contract!

This is simply unbelievable!

More importantly, where do ordinary families like theirs, who are practically at the bottom of society, get the opportunity to access this level of opportunity?

A windfall?

Having lived half her life, Akutsu Yuki knows all too well that there is no such thing as a free lunch, especially not a "gift" from the top of the pyramid.

She forced herself to calm down, her gaze sweeping once more over the rigorous terms of the contract and the solemn seal of the Kamiya Group.

Although she didn't understand the specifics of improving her tennis skills, and although she had seen the breach of contract penalty,

But it's written in black and white: a free opportunity to enroll in Hyotei Academy, a prestigious private academy!

You see, in Japan, social class is like an insurmountable wall.

Hyotei Academy represents not only top-tier educational resources, but also a passport to a completely different world and a completely different social circle!

That's the starting point for future connections, decent jobs, and even social status.

For people like her and Ah Ren from the lower class, such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, and they must seize it with all their might, even at the cost of everything.

These are the kinds of educational opportunities she could never provide for Ah Ren, and now they're right in front of her?!

Akutsu Yuki felt a little dazed again, and a sense of unreality washed over her.

Akutsu Jin was very dissatisfied with her questioning.

He frowned, clicked his tongue impatiently, and retorted in a harsh tone,

"Old woman! Do you think I'm the kind of fool who can be easily fooled by a few words?!"
