Prince of Tennis: It's my system. My victory depends entirely on the host.

On the day of the challenge, Marui Bunta followed his usual habit of getting up and ran a light ten-kilometer warm-up around the training camp.

On the way, he met Genichirō Sanada, who had gotten up at four o'clock for morning exercise and was sitting on the grass meditating.

Marui smiled, waved hello to Sanada, and ran towards the remote stadium where he often practiced.

When he opened the door, someone was already waiting for him inside.

Bunta Marui took off his coat and stopped the jackal Kuwabara who was doing racket swing training inside.

"Your mind isn't on training."

While stretching his legs, Marui looked at his partner who was frequently distracted during training.

Jackal Kuwahara paused from swinging his racket, walked to a chair, sat down and stared at Marui in a daze, and no longer forced himself to train.

The jackal's eyes were empty and dull, and he was in confusion, like a brown statue.

Originally, Marui Bunta didn't want to disturb the jackal Kuwabara's daze, but he couldn't bear the sadness in the jackal's eyes.

Bunta Marui decided to be a close teacher to his partner. He walked over and sat next to the jackal Kuwabara, his eyes looking at the grass outside the court.

"Why, Kimijima-senpai came to negotiate with you, right?"

The light gradually returned to the Jackal Sangyuan's eyes, and his tone was slightly hesitant.

"Ah, but... I don't want to cooperate with him."

He really couldn't understand why some people would have such great malice towards their partners. Senior Kimijima actually wanted him to injure Senior Tono's knee!

In his mind, a partner is someone like Marui who unwaveringly guides his companions forward and makes progress together.

Confusion is evident on the face of Jackal Kuwabara, who is kind and upright in most people he meets.

This time, the honest Jackal was amazed by the intrigues of adults.

Marui Bunta cursed Kimijima Ikuto in his heart, look how scared his partner was!

He patiently explained to Sangyuan that there was no need to hold back against such a person on the court, just beat him.

After Marui's counseling, Jackal Kuwabara finally stopped worrying about Kimijima Ikuto's issue.

Marui Bunta, who once again played the role of a caring brother, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and sighed.

Since Kimijima-senpai is not a good person, don't blame him for doing bad things!

Marui Bunta continued his morning training in a good mood with a sly smile on his face.

They looked full of energy until the coach notified everyone to gather at the main stadium.

"Well then everyone, the First Army Challenge officially begins!"

Kurobe Yukifu's cold voice sounded, and as he announced, the first team of players stood up and walked towards the arena.

As for the high school students, many of them had fought with Mori Jusaburo and were not surprised that Mori was able to enter the first team.

It was Ochi Gekko, whose superior height at high altitude caused Kintaro Toyama to exclaim.

"Wow, Shiraishi, that guy is so tall!"

Inui Sadaharu then reported Ochi's height to Xiao Jin, "Ochi Gekkou, the former minister of Hyotei, is 226cm tall. According to my information, he may still grow taller."

Kintaro Toyama asked Keigo Atobe curiously, "So you are very familiar with this former minister?"

Atobe Keigo snorted coldly and said nothing.

Oshitari Yuushi kindly explained on behalf of Atobe: "Ochi-senpai is more familiar with Rikkai University than with us."

Everyone had a blank expression. What was going on? Wasn’t that your Bingdi’s senior?

Then they turned around and saw Ochi Gekko clinging to Mori Jusaburo, and the confusion on their faces turned into understanding.

Oh, that's not surprising, he's another family member of Rikkai University.

So did this game turn into an internal fight within Rikkai University?

Then isn't it bad for them to cheer for Atobe and Nioh?

Marui Bunta saw their confusion and interrupted their even more bizarre thoughts.

"There is no distinction between close and distant relatives on the Rikkai University field."

So you can do whatever you want. After waiting for Marui Bunta's instructions, the junior high school students cheered loudly at the top of their lungs.

"Come on, Atobe, show them how powerful we are."

"Yes, Nioh, bring out the might of your Rikkai overlord and defeat them!"

. . . . . . .

"Really? It makes us look like villains!"

Maori Jusaburo pouted unhappily and stood on tiptoe to complain in Ochi Gekko's ear.

Ochi Moonlight stared at Maori's slightly dry lips, and suddenly reached out and gently stroked the corner of his mouth.

Maori Jusaburo's chattering suddenly stopped, and his whole face turned red.

What? There are still a lot of people here!

Niou Masaharu simply couldn't bear to see Mori-senpai being controlled by Ochi Gekko.

He interrupted their flirting with a click of his tongue, "Can we start the game?"

Niou Masaharu gave Mori a teasing look. Mori, who didn't want to be watched by his junior, quickly pushed Ochi Gekko to the backstage.

The game finally begins.

The expression of Ochi Gekko who was interrupted did not change, but his first shot was his signature Mach serve.

The speed was so fast that Mr. Atobe had almost no time to react and lost the game.

"I say, Atobe, if you can't catch it, just switch places with me!"

Niou Masaharu was not happy with the stunned Atobe. How could he be shocked by Ochi-senpai's high-speed serve after having played against Rikkai University so many times?

After coming back to his senses, Keigo Atobe almost couldn't help but roll his eyes. When did you, Rikkai University, ever take him seriously when playing a game?

However, Niou Masaharu's sarcasm was still very effective. When it was Atobe's turn to serve in the second game, he did not hold back.

An advanced version of Tannhauser's serve also won back a game.

The score is now 1:1. Judging from the first two games, the junior high school students and the high school students seem to be evenly matched.

From Rikkai University's perspective, this score was normal, but to people like Tono who were not familiar with Rikkai University, it was very surprising.

"Isn't Mao Li going easy on his junior?"

Kimijima Ikuto hugged his arms and was very puzzled by the situation in which Mori Ochi and the other man were in a difficult battle. They were just a group of junior high school students.

His tone hinted at suspicion of Mori, which made Toono Atsukyo look at Kimito strangely.

Although he was not familiar with Mao Li, he knew the other's persistence in winning on the field.

On the contrary, he could sense his partner's perfunctory attitude in tennis.

Atsuki Toono found that he was increasingly unable to understand what his partner was thinking.

Kimijima's joking words caused the Byodoin team to fall into temporary silence. No one expected that Kimijima, who had high emotional intelligence, would say such speculative words.

Seeing that no one agreed with his words, Kimijima realized belatedly that his words were ambiguous.

So he smiled and said, "It seems that the middle school couple are quite capable."

The tense atmosphere finally eased, and Kimijima Ikuto lowered his head to hide the impatience in his eyes, thus missing the sharp gazes of Byodoin and Tanejima.

At this time, the game on the field was entering a white-hot stage. Niou Masaharu was not at a disadvantage at all when facing the two-on-one attack from Mori and Ochi.

As for his partner, Atobe Keigo, he is trapped in the mental assassination of Ochi Gekko and has not yet escaped.

The white-haired fox, who was very skilled in using Tezuka Phantom, used his ultimate skill and bounced all the balls from the opponent out of bounds.

"Aren't you afraid of being beaten by Bunta if you use this move?"

Maori Jusaburo felt a subtle sympathy for the white-haired fox who was seeking death. Just now during the break, he saw the collective black faces of the people at Rikkai University.

This time, little Renwang is probably going to be severely punished!

Niou Masaharu, who also knew that he was courting death, stiffened his neck and didn't even dare to turn his head towards Rikkai University.

Fortunately, in the next round, Atobe Keigo broke free from Ochi Gekkou's mental assassination and relieved Niou Masaharu's pressure.

Keigo Atobe was very regretful that he was accidentally tricked, so he stopped hiding himself and showed all his strength.

Maori Jusaburo tilted his head and looked carefully at Atobe's Shura Road and found it quite beautiful.

However, they are not vegetarians!

Maori made a face at Niou Masaharu, and the next second, the tennis ball fell silently at Niou's feet.

Marui Fumita touched his chin uncertainly. Is this a resonance of ability?

Yukimura Seiichi confirmed Marui's guess, "It's ability resonance. It seems that Mori-senpai didn't slack off in the training camp!"

There were so many white lilies blooming behind Yukimura, and Marui thought that it seemed that Mori-senpai's habit of being lazy had been deeply rooted in the minister's mind.

Niou Masaharu flicked his pigtails with his fingers and gave Mori a cunning fox smile.

"Senior, have you forgotten that you have never won against me?"

Maori snorted coldly and easily used his joint skills to catch the tennis ball with a strange trajectory.

"We'll know if we can win once we give it a try!"

Although Maori had a stern face, he had actually begun to cry silently in his heart. When Marui saw him using the joint technique again, he was estimated that he would be punished soon.

"Come on, finish the game quickly."

After Maori Jusaburo finished speaking, a shadow appeared behind him, and Ochi Gekko then showed his Shura Road.

The three coaches in the monitoring room couldn't sit still and stood up in shock.

"When are they both?"

Kurobe covered his head in pain. These brats had never shown their full strength in front of them.

Seeing this, Niou Masaharu also released his Shura Road.

"That's what I meant. Come on, senior, let me see your progress."

So the game on the field turned into a showdown between the four Shuras.

In the end, the game ended with Niou Atobe, who had a better grasp of Shurado, winning.

Perhaps the match between the four Shuras was too surprising to the spectators, so there was still silence when Niou and Atobe returned to the sidelines.

Watanabe appeared in such a strange atmosphere.

His opponent was Ishida Gin of Shitenhoji.

Ishida's wave ball and Watanabe's home run are completely on a different level.

The king of destruction from France can withstand Ishida's 108-style wave ball, but Ishida cannot catch Watanabe's home run.

Ishida lost the second match.

In the current challenge match of the first team, the junior high school students and the top ten of the first team each won one game.

This made Toono Atsukyo look very ugly. They were not even worthy of being a bunch of little brats!
