I am in Prince of Tennis, others are training me while I am lying down

in the hospital.

Yukimura was lying on the hospital bed, looking at his teammates holding the Kanto Tournament championship trophy, and smiled with relief.

"Alright, students! Make way. It's time for Yukimura-san to go into the operating room."

the nurse exclaimed.

"Yukimura, the operation will definitely be successful. We are all waiting for you." Kirihara, Marui and others said to Yukimura.

Takahashi, who was standing nearby, smiled.

Finally, he fulfilled his oath and successfully delivered the Kanto Tournament trophy to Yukimura before the operation.

The history of Rikkai University will be rewritten from this day on.

The three consecutive national championships will also be within Rikkai University's grasp!

……

night.

"Buzz buzz, buzz buzz!"

Takahashi was sitting at the computer playing games while his cell phone kept vibrating beside him.

Takahashi, who was interrupted, reached out and took the phone.

At first glance, it was an unfamiliar number.

And recently, this strange number has called many times.

Takahashi was a little confused, but thought about it carefully.

Few people know his cell phone number, even Sanada only knows his phone number.

I also marked the numbers of my parents and others.

That definitely wasn't a call from someone I know, it was most likely a scam call.

Thinking of this, Takahashi moved quickly and rejected the call with a swipe of his finger.

While putting the phone back in its place, Takahashi sighed that it was really hard to do any job these days.

Even scammers work so hard and are so introverted.

Even though I rejected the call again and again, the other party didn't give up and kept calling.

The work is done very seriously and hard!

Fortunately, he read a lot of anti-fraud news in his previous life and knew not to answer unfamiliar phone calls easily.

It's impossible to defraud him.

I just didn’t expect that there would be scams in daily life and the scam industry is so inward-looking!

……

the other side.

In a deep mountain outside Beijing.

in an office.

A staff member said to Kurobe, "Coach Kurobe, the other party has not answered the phone yet."

"What about the registered letter?" Kurobe asked.

"The post office showed that it had been delivered to the other party's mailbox, but the other party did not contact us."

the staff member replied.

Kurobe was somewhat dissatisfied.

It has been 4 days since the end of the Kanto Tournament. During these days, he sent people to call and send letters to Takahashi, with the purpose of inviting him to U17. As a result, the other party did not return the call and there was no response after the letter was sent.

Even if Takahashi has some strength, this arrogant attitude makes Kurobe a little unhappy.

I am the coach of U17, the coach of elite high school students. I invited a junior high school student so sincerely, but the other party didn't give me face.

A somewhat dissatisfied Kurobe said, "In that case, why not just call or send a letter to the Rikkai University Tennis Club!"

……

the next day.

"Busan, U17 has invited you to participate in the training camp."

As soon as Takahashi entered the tennis club, he heard Sanada's anxious voice3.

"U17, what is that?"

Kirihara asked, curious.

"Under17 refers to the selection of tennis elites from high school students under the age of 17, with the goal of participating in the U17 World Championships. Of course, entering the U17 is also the only way for them to become professional tennis players."

Sanada explained.

"High school student! But Master is a junior high school student!"

Kirihara still didn't understand.

"It seems that this year's Australia U17 World Championship allows junior high school students to participate, so Japan's U17 has also started recruiting junior high school students."

Sanada said.

"Really? The master is so powerful that even high school students have noticed him..."

Takahashi didn't pay attention to what Kirihara said, but when he heard U17, he knew what was going on.

But he remembered that in the original book, U17 sent out invitations to various schools only after the national competition was over, and now the Kanto competition has just ended.

And it always feels a bit weird to invite only him.

"Minister, the U17 people said that they sent you a letter but you did not reply."

Sanada said to Takahashi.

Takahashi shrugged.

He didn't know that some people still send paper letters.

Technology has now advanced to the point where even water, electricity, and gas bills are paid online, and he doesn't even open his own mailbox.

Because paper letters are still sent now, most of them are advertisements or scams.

He lives alone, so he has to be more careful to protect himself and avoid being cheated.

Isn’t it normal not to open the mailbox?

……

DOutskirts of Beijing.

Takahashi stood in front of an iron gate, which slowly opened.

He observed his surroundings.

There are dense trees in the wilderness.

This place is really remote. If it weren't for the address on the invitation letter, he would have suspected that he had come to some scam organization.

"Ok?"

Takahashi keenly noticed that there were several cameras facing him inside the gate.

"Wait a minute, are you the talented junior high school student who was specially invited by the coaches to participate in the training camp?"

"Although you have just arrived, you should still accept the routine questioning!"

A high school student in white, black and red clothes said to Takahashi.

……

It turns out that the so-called routine interrogation is just hitting a beverage can with a serve.

The man gave Takahashi a total of 5 balls, and said that he would pass as long as 3 of them hit the beverage cans.

Takahashi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Too childish.

Even in the junior high school of Rikkai University, there would not be such childish things.

Although he felt speechless, Takahashi still picked up the tennis racket.

"boom!"

The tennis ball went towards the drink can on the far right with great speed and spin.

After hitting the rightmost beverage can, the tennis ball spun rapidly in place, then rolled to the left close to the ground, knocking down the two beverage cans on the left one by one.

"This……"

The high school students were stunned.

It was the first time he saw a tennis ball rolling to the left after landing on the ground.

"Clap!"

There was applause.

"As expected of you, the captain of the Rikkai University tennis club! Takahashi Hikoichi, welcome to the U17 training camp."

The man was very tall, with long hair tied into a small bunch at the back of his head and wearing a long white coat. He was none other than Saito, the coach who was good at mental training.

……

Saito led Takahashi to Court 16, gave him a training list, and explained the rules of the training camp to him.

There are 16 venues in the training camp, arranged in numerical order.

The smaller the number, the stronger the players are.

As long as you successfully challenge the strong person in the next venue, you can move forward.

On the contrary, if you are successfully challenged by someone of a lower level, you will be demoted.

When they are demoted to the final level, they will be sent to the back mountains for special training.

Saito finally said, "Happy challenge! Any questions?"

Takahashi was holding the training list in his hand and reading it quickly.

He felt a little dizzy. Why was the training volume so huge?

“Is the training volume the same for each court? Or does the court with the lower number have less training volume?”

Takahashi asked Saito.

Saito was confused, as he had thought Takahashi would ask about the strength level of each court, but he hadn't expected his focus to be on the amount of training.

“The training volume is the same, but usually the venues with smaller numbers will increase the training volume to ensure they don’t get relegated.”

Saito replied.

"Oh!"

Takahashi was not satisfied.
