Tennis: In Hyotei, inheriting the miracle generation

End the game.

Hinata Rin came to the net, fearing that the other party would forget the bet, and could not help but warn him: "According to the agreement, in the next year..."

"You will be my exclusive ball boy in the tennis club."

What is supposed to come will come.

Takitosuke, with a deathly pale face, said nothing, but just nodded reluctantly.

Although he is used to being impatient and hot-tempered on weekdays.

But he is still able to keep his basic promise.

Taki Oginosuke clenched his fists, looked at Hinata Rin, and suddenly made a vow: "I will definitely double back the humiliation I suffered from you today."

"Ah..."

The loser speaks?

Hinata Rin heard this and shook her head in disdain.

He just turned around and chose to leave.

Get it back?

This gap will only grow larger and larger until it disappears into the distance.

and...

Hinata Rin, who had not walked far, paused for a moment and kindly reminded him, "In tennis, there is a limit to how hard you try. There is more..."

"It still depends on talent and ability."

"Like I could beat you..."

Talent?

Watching Hinata Rin's back as she left.

Taki Oginosuke's eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.

In a daze.

The games he played after he started playing tennis involuntarily emerged in his mind.

as if......

failure.

That's his normal state.

Even though he kept telling himself that hard work would not lie, but...

This gap.

The difference between this and Hyotei's regular selection, the outer school's regular selection, and Rikkai's monsters...

But it's getting bigger and bigger.

"Ha ha..."

As he thought about it, Taki Oginosuke smiled.

I smiled with relief: "It turns out that there really is a kind of people called geniuses in this world!"

......

......

"You're a freshman, you're quite capable."

"My name is Takehito Mukai, and I'm one of the regulars of the Hyotei Tennis Club..."

......

"Oshitari Yuushi, Hyotei's choice."

......

"My name is Jiro Akutagawa, just call me Jiro. Your playing style... is simply amazing."

"I wonder if you can teach me your method of disappearing on the court. I also want to sleep in class without being discovered by the teacher."

......

"..."

Looking at the familiar faces coming over, Hinata Rin's face was full of helplessness.

Are all these nobles of Hyotei so enthusiastic?

Or is it because the Hyotei tennis club values ​​strength above all else, and the strong are more likely to be respected?

but......

This atmosphere.

He wasn't annoying.

"Hinata Rin, I've just joined the tennis club. Thank you for your guidance in the future." Hinata Rin responded politely one by one.

Then he looked at Jibe deeply.

He left the place without looking back.

after all.

Today is the first day of school, and so much time has passed, but he still hasn't reported to class.

If I go there later...

His teacher might accuse him of skipping class, which he doesn't want to see.

"The way that guy looked at me..."

As Atobe watched Hinata Rin leave, he fell into deep thought.

Being an observant person, he keenly noticed that the look Hinata Rin gave him just now had a meaningful meaning.

That look...

Seems to be......

Want to talk tennis with him?

"Humph..."

"Want to challenge authority? That is a qualification only the truly strong have..."

"pity......"

"That guy is still a long way off."

Obviously, even Hinata Rin won against Taki Oginosuke with a big score of 6:0.

In his opinion.

You are not qualified to challenge him!

......

......

Class A, Grade 1.

As expected, Hinata Rin, who was admitted as an exception, was assigned to the elite class.

but.

Faced with the endless stream of new teachers on the podium introducing all the matters concerning Hyotei, Hinata Rin chose to turn a deaf ear.

now.

Sitting in the back row of the classroom, his entire attention was focused on the light blue panel floating in the air in front of him.

"8000 support points..."

"What should I do?"

Hinata Rin supported her chin and couldn't help but think.

His match against Taki Oginosuke was not entirely without gain.

at least.

Through the tennis match just now, Hinata Rin also gained a deeper understanding of her own tennis strength.

Relying on the two trump cards of [accelerated ball return] and [visual guidance].

My own strength is definitely enough to rival that of a regular player like Hyotei.

certainly......

It's just comparable.

It doesn't mean that he will definitely win 100%.

and so.

The most urgent task is that he needs to continue to improve the upper limit of his strength.

In this case.

Only then can he officially become a regular player before the regional qualifiers begin, participate in the national tennis tournaments, and accumulate more cheering points required by the system.

"System...consume 8000 support points to increase Kuroko Tetsuya's template progress."

After thinking for a moment, Hinata Rin gave the order.

8000 support points.

It is still a long way from the 10 points needed to extract a new character template.

However, adding points to the basic five dimensions seems a bit uneconomical. After all, while unlocking template progress and gaining new abilities, there is also a chance of improving one's own basic five dimensions.

It’s like in the novice gift pack.

The [Accelerated Pass] that he inherited from Kuroko brought him a certain improvement in his skills. As to whether it was 0.5 or 1 point, he was not sure, but in any case, it was more or less improved to the basic five dimensions.

In the long term.

Unlocking template progress is definitely the most cost-effective way to improve.

[Ding! ! Congratulations to the host for successfully consuming 8000 support points! ]

[Kuroko Tetsuya's template progress has been unlocked from 50% to 58%! 】

【Ding! ! 】

[Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining a new ability: Accelerated return ball.]

"Speed ​​up the ball return?"

"Isn't this the enhanced version of Heizi's accelerated pass?"

Hinata Rin was slightly stunned, and then she couldn't stop being ecstatic.

To know.

Just an ordinary accelerated return of the ball was enough to make it impossible for Takitinosuke, who was good at measuring speed, to react immediately.

This is the accelerated return of the ball performed under the premise that his physical fitness is not strong.

After I have strengthened my physical fitness through a series of training, the power of this accelerated return ball will only become stronger.

This new ability...

Hinata Rin immediately turned his gaze to the system panel again.

【Speed ​​up return ball · return】

[It is like a spiral rotation when a bullet is fired, which is used to enhance the stability of the trajectory. The principle is to transfer the force to the tennis ball through the twisting of the whole body, thereby enhancing the speed and penetration of the return ball. Under normal circumstances, it can easily bounce off the opponent's racket and has a strong paralysis effect. The speed and power are about twice that of ordinary accelerated return balls. 】

"double......"

"Bounce the racket..."

"Paralyzing effect..."

"If it is combined with a quasi-invisibility effect that diverts sight."

"My overall strength has once again undergone a qualitative change!!"
