The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Akutsu Jin had expected Kamiya You to say something harsh to him.

But to everyone's surprise, Kamiya You didn't say a word. After shaking hands, he went straight to the bench on the sidelines and waited for the start of the next round-robin match.

Even though he hadn't been threatened or given a mocking look, Akutsu Jin didn't feel relieved; instead, he felt a sense of shame and anger at being ignored.

really,

He's still too weak; Kamiya won't even give him a second glance!

He was like that during the competition too, with an indifferent expression throughout!

Damn it!

Filled with anger and frustration, Jin Akutsu strode off Field 1 and headed to Field 5 to prepare for the second round-robin match.

I also plan to vent my frustrations on that poor, unlucky guy.

……

Eight minutes later,

Yuushi Oshitari, who had swiftly finished his first match, stepped onto Court 1 with his racket.

"Tap tap."

Kamiya You keenly noticed the commotion, so he grabbed the racket lying to the side, stood up from the stool, and walked to the net.

Yuushi Oshitari quickly stood opposite You Kamiya, extending his left hand first, and said in a seemingly relaxed tone, "Captain, please go easy on me."

Kamiya You's lips curled slightly, but he didn't say whether it was okay or not.

five minutes later,

"Game, Kamiya Yao, 4-0!"

"Match ended! Kamiya You has won this match!"

As the referee's verdict fell, several system messages flashed quickly in front of Kamiya You:

[You crushed a Kanto-level player with your superior skills]

[You have obtained: B-rank Ninjutsu Water Release: Water Wall, GOAT value +5]

Then, a medium-sized blue bubble of knowledge appeared in his mind.

Kamiya You was fairly satisfied with the water barrier that Shinobu had created.

Finally, a ninjutsu focused on defense has arrived.

Furthermore, if a B-rank defensive ninjutsu is mastered to perfection, its strength will not be too bad, which makes his tactical system more complete.

"Kamiya-sama is the strongest!"

Meanwhile, off the field, Kamiya You's personal guards began cheering once again.

As for the other members, they were already used to it. After all, Shinobu couldn't even beat the vice-captain, so it was perfectly normal that he couldn't beat the captain.

Yuushi Oshitari, who hadn't touched the ball except during his service games, listened to the cheers from the sidelines, adjusted his glasses, and looked utterly helpless.

Seriously, they got shut out without a trace.

He shook his head slightly, then quickly walked to the net to shake hands with Kamiya You after the match.

During the handshake, Oshitari Yuushi looked at Kamiya You with an expression that seemed to say, "What happened to going easy on me?!"

Then, in a strange tone, he called out, "Minister..."

Upon hearing this tone, Kamiya You immediately felt goosebumps.

Tsk, why did he inexplicably detect a hint of sorrow in his voice?

Alas-

How strange!

Kamiya You released his grip without making a sound, then shrugged. "I've already gone easy on you."

After all, he didn't use any ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu in this match; he simply overwhelmed the opponent by using the difference in their base stats.

……

Three days later, the intense group stage finally came to an end.

With an astonishing 17 clean sheets, Kamiya Yo has secured the top spot in Group A without any doubt.

Keigo Atobe from Group B and Jusaburo Mori from Group C both secured first place in their respective groups with undisputed perfect records.

The following afternoon, at Stadium No. 1,

The fifteen elite members of Hyotei Tennis Club who ultimately stood out stood solemnly before their coach, Taro Sakaki.

Behind them stood the other members, who were also lined up neatly. These members, who had been eliminated or felt they were not good enough to participate, were now looking at them with envy and awe.

At the very front, Sakaki Taro stood ramrod straight, his face as cold and sculpted as a statue. Though he had not uttered a word, he exuded an undeniable air of authority.

Beside him, two assistants were steadily holding up a tray covered with a deep red velvet mat.

Lying quietly on the velvet are thirteen medals symbolizing the brutal ranking of Hyotei Tennis Club's strength—from the shining No.1 to the simple No.13.

The sunlight fell precisely on the array of medals, perfectly igniting the brilliance of the various precious metals and gemstones.

The most dazzling item is undoubtedly the No.1 medal:

The pure gold base radiates a noble, warm light, while the high-relief "No.1" at the center signifies its supreme status.

Above it is a deep Asche sapphire, which reflects a cool and brilliant light in the sunlight.

No.2至No.5的勋章则由纯银打造的银牌，No.6至No.8则是有着厚重质感的铜牌；至于最后的No.9至No.13则是显得非常质朴的木牌。

The different materials and striking numbers of the thirteen medals clearly demonstrate the brutal nature of Hyotei's ranking system.

At that moment, Sakaki Taro's magnetic voice rang out.

"Now, according to the final rankings of each group, come forward in turn. Based on your assessment of your own abilities, choose the medal corresponding to your position."

"The top eight will be the first team's main players, representing Hyotei in major competitions; the bottom five will belong to the second team, serving as reserves for the main players."

"After the medals are selected, the challenge phase begins. Each person has three chances to challenge for a higher position. Use your rackets to strive for a higher ranking or defend your honor!"

"First," Sakaki Taro's voice continued, "Group three, first place, step forward!"

Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo and Mori Jusaburo paused simultaneously, and then very tacitly gave up their right to choose first.

Kamiya You watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He strode forward with an almost arrogant elegance and took the No.1 medal that stood proudly on the deep red velvet.

He didn't even look down to examine it closely; he simply flicked his wrist casually.

With a soft "snap",

He then wore the medal, symbolizing the pinnacle of Hyotei, securely on his left chest.

Saori Shiba frantically pressed the shutter button, the "click-click-click" sound becoming a rapid drumbeat.

She praised him repeatedly in her heart:

It’s just that!

This medal is perfect for Kamiya-kun!

Handsome, noble, and mysterious are seamlessly blended in him!

Immediately after, Keigo Atobe stepped forward second, and without the slightest hesitation, he precisely picked up the No. 2 pure silver medal.

The sunlight shone on the medal, producing a cool, moon-like sheen that made the beauty mark at the corner of his eye stand out even more.

Atobe Keigo's lips curled into a proud and elegant smile, and accompanied by the "click-clack" sound from offstage, he also pinned the medal symbolizing "Under One Person" to his chest.

Finally, it was Mori Jusaburo's turn. He strolled forward unhurriedly, taking away number 3 with a lazy smile.

Accompanied by a continuous series of "click-clack" sounds, the subsequent serial numbers were quickly divided up.
