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

Mifune said: "Takahashi used his second dimensional shadow, which was a magnified version of himself, in the match against QP."

"QP was surrounded by three rays of light at that time."

"People in Country D call it the light of reserve, and we call it the limit of perfection."

Kurobe seemed to understand something and exclaimed, "That is the state of no self!"

"Ashura Shinto and the state of no self are known as one of the two advanced realms of tennis."

"The only thing that can fight against the Three-in-One Light of Reservedness and not be at a disadvantage should be the main gate of Ashura Shinto."

Mifune said, “Yes.”

"In addition to this, I also observed that after Takahashi's second dimension came out, his strength continued to grow, as if there was no bottleneck period at all."

"And Byodoin has been stuck in a bottleneck period for a long time."

"With such performance, I believe that at the end of that road to hell, he entered through the main gate."

Mifune paused to take a sip of his drink and continued, "Although Byodoin has never fought Takahashi head-on, both of them have fought Amadeus."

"Two years ago, in the match between Byodoin and Amadeus, Byodoin lost two games in a row at the beginning, but in the last game, Byodoin successfully evolved his other dimension and began to catch up."

"Due to weather reasons, the match between the two of them was not completed."

"If it's a best-of-three match, Byodoin has already lost."

"During the group stage a few days ago, Takahashi basically dominated Amadeus throughout the entire match, and even made Amadeus give up voluntarily."

"Two years ago, Amadeus did not turn professional, but after more than two years of baptism in the professional arena, his progress should be greater than that of Byodoin."

"So, I can now confirm that even the evolved Byodoin is no match for Takahashi."

"Takahashi is the strongest member of our team."

Listening to Mifune's story, Kurobe and the others were silent.

They thought that with Takahashi's talent and potential, one day his strength would surpass Byodoin, but they didn't expect that day to come so soon!

The most surprised among them was Kurobe, who had personally investigated Takahashi.

He knew that Takahashi had only started playing tennis in the first grade of junior high school.

He is still in the first grade of junior high school, but his strength has already surpassed the strongest player of the R U17 team.

This was personally certified by the head coach of the team and the teacher of the strongest player of the original team.

Kurobe didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the three people in front of him, Mifune laughed and said, "It is indeed a bit shocking that a 12-year-old junior high school student has taken on the burden of the entire R team."

"But this is also a good thing. Originally, our R-nation could not compete with the top four in terms of cutting-edge combat power. Without Takahashi joining, I could only let Byodoin go down the Ashura Shinto path."

"Because it's the only way for him to quickly improve his strength, but the price is cruel."

"Takahashi's rapid growth has made up for our lack of cutting-edge combat power and also given Byodoin a bright future. After all, he still has a long tennis career ahead of him and cannot just focus on the immediate gains and losses."

"It doesn't matter even if Takahashi loses to Borg in the semifinals. No one will be able to stop Takahashi in the next world championship two years later."

As he spoke, Mifune picked up a pen and wrote Takahashi's name on the singles number one.

"As for the two professional doubles teams from Country D, let Byodoin and Duke form a doubles team to compete against each other. The chance of winning is not low."

Mifune continued writing as he spoke.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Mifune's cell phone, which was on the table, began to ring.

Mifune picked up the phone and found that the caller was actually the coach of Country D, Retulu.

He pressed the answer button and walked out.

……

Ten minutes later, Mifune returned to the room.

Seeing the complicated look on Mifune's face, Kurobe asked, "Head Coach, what happened?"

Mifune said, "Just now we were discussing whether to let Byodoin or Takahashi fight against Borg. The other party is also worried about this matter."

"They are also worried. We will let Byodoin fight as the No. 1 singles player."

"After all, in the eyes of the outside world, Byodoin is the main player of our R team. It is only natural for the main player to play as the number one player."

Takushi was surprised and said, "Could it be that they also want Takahashi to fight Borg?"

"In the match where QP lost to Takahashi, did the D country team take Takahashi so seriously?"

Mifune said, “Yeah!”

"It is said that this was requested by the Borg themselves."

"Actually, this is easy to understand. From Borg's perspective, the 12-year-old Takahashi has already defeated another professional player, Amadeus."

"As a fellow professional player, Borg also saw a threat in Takahashi."

"And with Takahashi's current strength, if he wasn't facing Borg, he would definitely win. Considering the entire team, they don't want to let Takahashi kill in other positions."

Saito said worriedly, "Since Borg wants to fight Takahashi so much, he must be absolutely confident that he can defeat Takahashi. They are going to lock in a victory directly."

Mifune said solemnly, "Borg is the strongest active professional player after all, and there is indeed no one on our team who can compare to him."

"Letting Takahashi, the strongest player in the team, play is the best option. At least he won't be shut out, and maybe he can even win a set."

"But I am also a little worried. Since Borg is so concerned about Takahashi, will he use some special ability on Takahashi during the game and have a bad influence on Takahashi?"

After saying that, Mifune was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he put on a smile again and said:

"But it's not without its benefits. They don't know that we put Takahashi in singles."

"In exchange, they told me that Kunimitsu Tezuka would play as the No. 3 singles player in the semifinals."

Saito said, "Tezuka Kunimitsu? Is he the captain of Hara Seigaku who was recruited by Country D U17 in advance?"

Kurobe replied, "Yes."

"He defeated Fuji and Duke in an exhibition match before, and now we have a bunch of junior high school students on our team who want to play against him."

Mifune frowned and said, "But, with the strength he has shown, I'm afraid no one among this group of junior high school students, except Takahashi, can deal with him."

……

a few days later.

The scene of the U17 World Championship semi-final between Team D and Team R.

"Go, King D Country Team!"

"Go, King D Country Team!"

……

"Come on, Team R!"

"Come on, Team R!"

The audience's voices rose one after another.

……

"Strange! There are actually quite a few people in the audience cheering for us this time."

"In the last exhibition match, the audience overwhelmingly cheered for Team D!"

Kirihara looked around the arena and said.

Country D is a world tennis power, and they are the champions of the U17 World Championships with nine consecutive wins, so they have a large number of fans.

In the previous exhibition match, the members of the R team had already witnessed the overwhelming cheers from the opposing team's fans.

I originally thought that the scene would be repeated today.

Unexpectedly, many people in the audience cheered for Team R, which surprised Kirihara.

Kurobe smiled and said, "That's because the biggest dark horse of this world competition appears in our team."

"As the youngest player in the U17 World Championship, Takahashi defeated QP from Country D and professional player Amadeus successively, becoming the most eye-catching tennis player in this competition."

"Influenced by Takahashi, more and more viewers are paying attention to our R team."
