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

Half an hour later.

"The game is over. Ruishi won 3-1."

"The group stage is over, and Team R and Team Ruishi have successfully entered the finals."

The radio was broadcasting loudly.

……

Irie said to Mifune apologetically, "Coach, I'm sorry!"

“I didn’t win the game!”

Byodoin looked at the person walking off the field and said in a deep voice, "Tasta, the No. 2 of the Ruishi team, is only weaker than Amadeus."

"The gap in strength between us and the world's second-ranked Swiss team is still too big."

Mifune consoled him, "Irie, it's okay if we lose, we've advanced anyway."

"And if you listen to the audience, we were clearly in second place, but the cheers for us were louder than those for Rui Shi."

Indeed, the audience was shouting loudly.

"R team!"

"R team!"

"Takahashi Hikoichi!"

"Takahashi Hikoichi!"

……

"Although Ruishi beat our R-ben, Takahashi beat Amadeus. In the hearts of the audience, the latter is the real victory."

Mifune said with a smile.

……

One night a few days later.

The four coaches of the R team gathered together to discuss the roster for the semi-finals.

Kurobe said: "I didn't expect that this year we would successfully qualify from the group stage and reach the semi-finals in the blink of an eye."

"We haven't had such good results in many years. It's really cause for celebration!"

Saito said: "It's a pity that our opponent in the semi-finals is the champion D country team, otherwise I think we can all advance to the finals."

Takushi said, "We actually met the world's No. 1 team, Country D, in the semifinals. What luck!"

"This year, our team at the World Championship is stronger than ever before, but our luck is also unusually bad."

"In the exhibition match, we were drawn against the world's number one country, D, and in the group stage, we faced the world's number two, Switzerland."

Head coach Mifune took a sip of wine and said slowly, "Look at the bright side. If we can beat the world's number one team, Country D, then the final will be easy, and winning the world championship will not be a dream."

Kurobe said seriously, "I heard that two professional players from Country D have recently returned and will participate in the upcoming semi-finals."

"With Borg, that's three professional players. This lineup is almost their strongest lineup."

Saito said, "Why don't we just give up a doubles match? The chances of our doubles players beating a professional player are zero."

Takushi said, "Not necessarily! Let Takahashi and Tanejima form a doubles team. We still have a pretty good chance of winning this match."

"After all, Takahashi defeated Amadeus, the leader of the Ruishi team."

Kurobe thought it made sense and said, "Yes, if it's a combination of Takahashi and Tanejima, with Takahashi's spiral serve and Tanejima's annihilation, they have both offensive and defensive capabilities, so it would be easy to win the game."

Mifune listened to the discussion and took a sip of wine and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"If Takahashi goes to doubles, who will deal with Borg?"

Without even thinking, Takushi answered, "Byodoin!"

After he finished speaking, he was a little stunned and said, "Head coach, are you going to let Takahashi play against Borg?"

"Takahashi is only 12 years old, and Borg is already 17. There is such a big difference between them, and Borg is the strongest professional player in the world!"

"Although Takahashi defeated fellow professional Amadeus in our match with Ruishi, I heard that Amadeus and Borg are not comparable in the professional arena."

"And haven't we always assumed that Byodoin would deal with the Borg?"

After looking at Mifune's serious face, Takushi continued to ask: "Do you think Takahashi can beat Borg?"

Mifune groaned and said, "Not sure."

"But what I know now is that if Takahashi can't beat Borg, then Byodoin won't stand a chance either."

When Mifune said this, the three Kurobe members were all shocked.

Because, before the World Championship started, the coaches had a common understanding.

That is, this year's world competition will still focus on Byodoin, allowing Takahashi to experience the vastness of the world first.

The next World Championship will be Takahashi’s time to shine.

They never expected that in the semi-finals, Mifune was ready to entrust Takahashi with an important task.

After a pause of several seconds, Mifune continued, "I know Byodoin's strength best. His Ashura Shinto was opened with my help."

"It was also me who planned a path for him to become stronger, which was expeditions around the world."

"So I have the most say in the strength and evolution of Byodoin."

"I stopped the match between Byodoin and Takahashi at the training camp because I knew Byodoin's alternate dimension, the Pirates, could not beat Takahashi's alternate dimension, the Taotie."

"However, Byodoin relies on the path of destruction followed by rebirth. After evolution, it may be able to fight against Takahashi. But I am referring to the Takahashi who is still in the training camp, not the Takahashi who has opened up the second dimension now."

Takushi said: "Head coach, do you think Takahashi, who has opened a second dimension, can beat the evolved Byodoin?"

Mifune said, "Yes. Takahashi has not only opened up a second dimension, but his basic strength is also increasing significantly."

"I asked Takahashi before and he said he didn't give his best in the match against Amadeus."

"Because he felt that he could win the game without fully unleashing the power of the second dimension."

When this was said, even Kurobe was surprised and asked, "Did Takahashi not exert his full strength in the match with Amadeus?"

Mifune nodded, and he continued: "Besides that, there is one more thing that concerns me the most."

"That is, if Byodoin wants to continue evolving in the Ashura Shinto, he will pay the price of severe injuries or even his life."

"And I asked Takahashi, and he said that his alternate dimension doesn't have such a big side effect."

Saito asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Mifune's face was a little serious, and he said, "Because when Byodoin entered Ashura Shinto, at the end of the road, he did not enter the main gate, but a fork in the road."

"So his path is to destroy first and then be reborn. If he wants to evolve, he must pay a terrible price."

Kurobe asked, "Did Takahashi walk into the main gate of Ashura Shinto?"

Mifune groaned and said, "His Ashura Shinto is not like Byodoin, which was opened with my help."

"And his first dimensional phantom was Taotie, which is also a very domineering existence. I am not sure about this either."

"Because there are many forks in the Ashura Road."

"But until his second alternate dimension appeared, I was able to confirm with a high probability that he walked into the main gate of Ashura Shinto."

Saito asked, "Why?"
