Prince of Tennis: Start by replicating your talent

After beating the last member of the second team, Nanchuan was so tired that he supported his knees with his hands and gasped for breath.

Everyone can see that his physical strength is his shortcoming, but he has been able to hold on until now, which makes those regular players who were defeated by Atobe look at him with admiration.

"This guy's physical strength has improved by leaps and bounds." Atobe said, "The last time he fought with me, he almost lost consciousness. Now he can beat all the people in Team 2 without falling. Is he a monster? He has improved so much in just half a month?"

Physical fitness is not a skill that can allow you to unexpectedly burst out in a short period of time. Except for those with super physical fitness, most athletes' physical fitness is achieved through day-to-day training.

Nanchuan was able to achieve this in just half a month, which must have been a huge effort, and this made Jibe more and more excited.

To pursue the dream of three consecutive championships, you must have a strong team. Nanchuan's ability to constantly surprise people makes Jibe feel that his investment vision is indeed correct.

"continue."

Nanchuan saw that Atobe had defeated the current minister, no, the former minister who had been in office for less than a day, and had started to show off and steal the limelight amid cheers, and he could not fall behind.

It has to be said that the level of those second-team substitutes is just so-so. He was able to play so many games using only the basic tennis skills he copied from Atobe. If his physical strength was a little stronger, he wouldn't be sweating so much and his breathing would become rapid.

The sound of hitting the ball rang out again, but the scene changed from the initial noise to a silent silence. The defeated sophomores and juniors on the side were stunned.

"His tennis is getting better and better."

"Not only that, have you noticed that he is always able to counterattack with his opponent's style of play, catching them off guard."

"He was able to learn his opponent's fighting style and counterattack on the spot. Is this imitation? His imitation ability is too strong, isn't it?"

"It shouldn't be imitation, because he used his opponent's fighting style and fought better than his opponent!"

Atobe, who was standing by, listened to this without saying anything.

I have experienced Nanchuan's style of play, and it is also something he is very curious and interested in.

"This kid gets stronger when facing a stronger opponent. This is his tennis." Atobe saw the pattern of Nanchuan's playing style. His face became a little strange, and he said, "But this style of play is also fatal. Only by having your own tennis ball can you go further."

Nanchuan was panting and waiting for the next opponent to enter when he heard what Tobe said outside the field behind him.

He did not deny it, and admitted that what Atobe said was right.

In this era of tennis where strong players emerge in large numbers, real tennis players need to have their own tennis playing method and style in order to go further and further on this path.

It’s just that his evolution really can’t have much effect on these people, because these people are really too weak.

Soon all the members of Team 1 were defeated, leaving only the current minister and deputy minister defeated by Tezuka. However, Nanchuan's physical strength was still insufficient, and he did not have Tezuka's extraordinary endurance, so the tug-of-war could not last too long.

Although the hellish physical training during this period has made him make great progress, no matter how much progress he has made, he cannot withstand the rotation battles at this stage, and the opponents are all second- and third-year students.

There is nothing good about those people's basic tennis, which is not as good as Atobe's basic tennis.

However, he has achieved the goal he set for himself.

He never thought about becoming a deputy minister or minister.

But at the beginning he was so boastful that it was unacceptable not to have a fight.

He also wanted to prove his strength and become the new minister's teammate and the leader of the team.

"These two monsters." The people who were selected felt ashamed and now they even wanted to stop fighting with Nanchuan.

"It's a round-robin match, and the opponent is a freshman. I heard that he just started playing tennis after graduating from elementary school last month. If we can't beat them with such an unethical style of play, is there any need to continue playing?"

"Damn it, he just got in touch with me last month? Pervert, right? But if we don't fight, how will this end? Don't I, as the minister, have any dignity?"

Hearing this, Nanchuan adjusted his breathing, smiled, and said, "Senior, if you still want to fight, I can accompany you."

Just fight, he won’t be exhausted to death, so he can continue.

Bingdi is a place where strength speaks louder than words and does not tolerate any failure.

Even if it is Atobe, if his strength cannot keep up in the future, he will have to step down from the position of minister.

So, if these people are not convinced, fine, then just fight them. As long as he has not lost consciousness, he is confident that he can defeat them.

Atobe said to the former minister: "Let me correct you. The current minister is me, not you. Pay attention to your attitude. As the minister, I ask you now, do you still want to fight? If not, go home. If you want to fight, hurry up. Why are you so long-winded?"

"I come!"

The former minister, who had already lost all his face, was determined to save it. Even though his opponent was on the verge of losing strength, he didn't care about morality or immorality. He would fight just to save his dignity!

"Game start!"

After taking a rest, Nanchuan recovered some strength and immediately got into the game state.

The outcome will be decided in one game. He will use the last bit of explosive power that he used to defeat Jibu, and beat up the so-called former minister and deputy minister in a row, hitting their tennis balls back, and using the last bit of physical strength to fight back. He will play with his life at risk!

"The game is over! Nanchuan wins!"

"Atobe, Nanchuan is so scary. I feel like his jumping ability wasn't that good originally, but as his stamina is depleting rapidly, why is his jumping ability getting stronger and stronger?" Xiangri Taketo at the side couldn't help but ask Atobe, "Is this how he uses his explosive power?"

Atobe looked at Nanchuan, who was lying on the field recovering from exhaustion and was too lazy to open his eyes, and said:

"Maybe. All I can say is that he has a talent for tennis, but his physical strength is really poor."

Although he was shocked by the terrifying physical changes in such a short period of time, Atobe was still rude.

"Okay, is there anyone else who wants to challenge us now?" Atobe ignored Nanchuan who hadn't stood up yet, and asked everyone, "If not, today's minister and deputy minister are confirmed."

Those from Team One and Team Two looked unhappy and didn't say anything.

It can be seen that they admire their strength, but they are still dissatisfied with the arrogance of Jibu and Nanchuan in their attitude.

Except for the second and third grade players, all other members of the team cheered.

"Minister Atobe! Minister Atobe!"

"Nanchuan..."

"and many more!"

Chapter 15 Are you kidding us?

Just as they shouted their slogans, Nanchuan, who had been motionless, raised his arm and said firmly:

“Everyone, I don’t want to be a deputy minister, it’s boring, I’d better concentrate on training.

Atobe, as you said, my physical strength is not up to par yet, I need to practice more, I don't have time to be a deputy minister."

The defeated teams one and two looked unhappy: We won the round-robin match and you say you don’t have enough stamina?

But Nanchuan's words still surprised them, and even made them angry: "You kid, you won the fight but you don't want the position of deputy minister, are you kidding us?"

Nanchuan wiped the sweat off his face and stood up. He smiled and said, "How could I be kidding you? Doesn't this mean that Hyotei's current strength and mechanism need to be reformed? A new era of tennis is coming. If you don't make progress and evolve, you will be eliminated by us first-year students."

"You!" The players from Team One and Team Two got so angry easily when they heard him talk, but they had no way to refute his words.

After all, they did lose, and they lost in a very shameful way. It would be embarrassing to tell others about such a tragic situation. If other schools knew about it, how would they view them as the so-called top four in the country? Without Ochi Gekko, they would not be able to support the strength of this team at all, and they would not be able to hold their heads up.

The tall man, the former minister who was beaten down, stood up and said:

"Okay, Ice Emperor speaks with strength. Since you have defeated us, we will naturally accept your defeat. But what do you mean by reform? You don't want the position of deputy minister, but you want reform? Do you know that our Ice Emperor has made it to the national level with this system? Do you still dare to question it?"

Nanchuan laughed: "Just because you are a deputy minister doesn't mean you have no say? Your ideas are backward and destined to be eliminated. Under the leadership of Senior Ochi Moonlight, Hyotei made it to the national team for the first time and reached the top four. It is indeed very strong, but it does not mean that all the rules and mechanisms are correct.

Now the times have changed, and our opponents will grow stronger. The existence of the second team will only be a springboard for our opponents to defeat us. If you don't believe me, someone will teach you a lesson, and then you will know the seriousness of this matter. However, you are not the minister anymore, so it is useless to tell you about this, and it is not your turn to make the decision. "

"You! Speak politely! We are your seniors!"

"Oh, goodbye, senior." Nanchuan nodded, looking very polite.

After saying that, he put away his racket and put on his tennis bag. He glanced at Atobe, whose expression became complicated after hearing what he said: "New director, I'm going home first. It's time for training to end, right? If I don't go home, my brother will finish the food."

Everyone: "..."

After playing like this, it was getting dark soon. Other clubs had already finished their training, and many people even came here just to watch the excitement of the tennis club, so the tennis club was still full of onlookers. The four floodlights in the center of the court were turned on, and everyone realized at once that it was time to go home.

Nanchuan walked out of the crowd, and Atobe and the others followed him.

He uttered, "Hey, Shishido Ryo, Gakuto, didn't you two say you wanted to fight Atobe too? Not only are you trying to get the position of the captain, but you're also simply annoyed by his attitude..."

"Hey, Nanchuan, what you said is not only that we are unhappy with Atobe's attitude, but also with you. You said you look like a good boy, why are you talking so naughty?"

"Also, we've already finished fighting Atobe, you just didn't see it."

"Are you done fighting?" Nanchuan looked at the two of them with some surprise.

"Yeah, Atobe is so arrogant, I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't fight him, but after the fight..."

Nanchuan laughed loudly: "Looks like you got humiliated."

"Bullshit!" Shishido Ryo said unconvincedly: "I will take revenge later!"

As we walked out of the school gate, Totoro's luxury car was waiting at the door.

Shishido Ryo and Gakuto sighed, "Really? This is too high-profile," and left.

Atobe looked at Nanchuan and asked, "Are you really unwilling to be the deputy minister?"

Nanchuan hummed, "My current strength is not enough, and I need all my time besides schoolwork to train. The deputy minister will only affect me and take up my time. You like the feeling of being a king so much, I believe you can do it alone."

Although he has taken the position of minister based on his own strength, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done by the team. This is his choice and he should bear it himself.

"Nanchuan, the reform you mentioned...give me a plan tomorrow? Maybe I can refer to it."

It is rare for someone as proud as Atobe to actively accept other people's suggestions. After all, he has just become the minister. However, Nanchuan also knows that sooner or later Atobe will see through Hyotei's current problems.

He nodded: "That's not a problem. Although I don't participate in the job duties, as a team member I have the obligation to contribute to the team. However, Atobe, I'm not questioning your rights as the captain. Even if this matter needs to be reformed, it must be approved by the coach."

"I know."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

...

After returning, Nanchuan saw his brother eating, so he immediately took off his shoes and rushed over.

"Brother! Leave some!"

"Who told you to come back so late?" Beichuan pushed a half-eaten dish over and said, "How is it going? Have you joined the training?"

Nanchuan was tired and hungry after playing these games. His cheeks were bulging from eating so much that he said in a vague voice, "Well, there is naturally no problem with joining. However, we became famous today. I, your younger brother, faced those second-team players from the second and third grades. They fought in a round-robin battle, and I defeated them all."

"Really?" Kitagawa paused while picking up sushi, looking at his brother in disbelief, "Don't brag, Shiba Taizo is just a physical leader, his tennis skills are said to be average, and he didn't come to teach you very often, it's impossible for him to teach a novice like you to be above Kanto level in such a short time, right?"

My brother knows the situation of Hyotei. They have made it to the national level 4, which means that the regular players will not be too weak. After all, such a team competition only relies on Ochi Gekko.

Therefore, even if these people are not at the national level, they will be at the Kanto level.

"Brother, that's what I said, but they are really bad. Times have changed. We first-year students are very strong, okay? If they dare to be at the Kanto level, I dare to be at the national level."

Nanchuan said proudly that he had the talent for evolution and he was not afraid of anything at the moment.

Chapter 16 Advanced Training

"What about physical fitness? Even if you have skills and understanding, what about physical fitness?" Beichuan reasonably questioned, "No matter what sport it is, physical fitness is the foundation. Without it, no matter how many skills you have, you will be defeated. In the long run, you will be dominated by others in a matter of minutes."

Facing his doubts, Nanchuan explained patiently: "I understand. First of all, I have a great talent for tennis. I was born to be a tennis player.

It's the kind...the kind where you feel like you must and will beat your opponent as soon as you step on the court, you know, brother?

Just like when you are on the basketball court, you feel that you can shoot a beautiful three-pointer every time. Secondly, my physical fitness has indeed improved a lot recently, and I have improved very quickly. "

Beichuan looked at him for several seconds without saying anything.

"Really, brother, although it's a bit exaggerated, I am indeed very suitable for playing tennis. If you don't believe me, ask my third brother, or you can go to Hyotei to ask. Oh, no, you will know when the tennis newspaper comes out tomorrow."

A reporter went there today and saw it when he came back.

What he said was true. The talent for replication and evolution was there, but you can't say that he was cheating, right?

Then he pinched his arm: "I'm almost building muscle."

Beichuan took the piece of sushi in front of him and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I get it. It's good to see progress. I was just afraid that you would be beaten or bullied by others, so I deliberately came back to comfort me. You won, I'm very happy, Shiba Taizo really has some skills."

Nanchuan lowered his head and ate sushi without saying a word. He felt great to have someone supporting him.

"How about this, get up early every day and go running with me."

"what?"

Nanchuan instinctively wanted to refuse. He was really tired from not sleeping well, but after thinking about it, he could not help but practice hard, so he could only nod:

"Okay, but I'm terribly tired today. I forced myself to hold on to my limit to finish the fight. Now I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart. I'm going to bed early."
