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

After the weekend coaching match, Maori Jusaburo found Yukimura Seiichi and wanted to take a few days off to seriously think about his tennis career.

Yukimura Seiichi looked seriously at the red-haired senior in front of him who looked extremely depressed because of his failure in the competition.

"You can ask for leave, but I hope that when you come back, you will have found your own path."

Yukimura Seiichi did not blindly persuade his senior. At this time, he could only wait for Mori Jusaburo to wake up on his own.

Any sport requires a certain amount of talent, but talent alone is not enough.

Talent and hard work are necessary for an athlete to go a long way.

In the next few days, Maori Jusaburo did not show up in the tennis club.

At first, Miyazaki Taichi and other seniors were worried that it was because Maori lost several games in a row that he quit the tennis club, but after learning the reason from Yukimura, everyone fell silent.

Not to mention Mori Jusaburo, even they were devastated by these failed games.

Although these few people are not extremely talented, they are also outstanding among ordinary people. Since the new juniors joined the team, they have deeply felt that they are quite ordinary.

Not only do they lack talent, they also can't work as hard as their juniors.

The new training sheet was posted on the bulletin board on Monday, and all members of the tennis club began to implement the new menu.

The heavy and boring training schedule has discouraged many members who joined the club because of Rikkai University's reputation as the Kanto champion, and there are members quitting every day.

"Aren't you worried that there will be no one in the tennis club by then?" Sho Nozawa asked Masaharu Niou curiously.

Although this junior likes to play pranks, he is also the one who got familiar with his seniors the fastest.

"Piyo, don't worry. When we win the championship, more people will join the tennis club." Niou Masaharu was doing warm-up exercises seriously.

Today is the 1000-ball ball control training day, and he is in a group with senior Tomo Nakano.

"Hahaha, then you guys have a pretty good attitude." Nozawa Sho touched his hair awkwardly.

These junior students really have big hearts, no wonder they took control of the tennis club so quickly.

The training of the tennis club was proceeding in an orderly manner. After the club activities were over, Marui Bunta waited for him at the school gate, where he saw Mori Jusaburo leaning against the school gate in a daze.

"Senior, who are you waiting for?" Marui and his group were surprised to see Maori, who had not appeared for a few days. Didn't this senior want to not appear in front of them?

"I'm waiting for you. Can you talk to me?" Maori Juzaburo asked Marui Bunta seriously. He had appeared in the tennis club in the past few days.

He had been secretly observing these junior students at the place where he had been skipping training.

Among them, Marui Bunta was the junior he peeked at the most, because this junior not only mastered the training of the tennis club, but also was the person with the most training content in the tennis club.

"You go first." Marui Bunta let Niou Masaharu go first. It seemed that this senior Mao had some questions to ask him.

"Come with me, senior, this is not a good place to talk." The two people with outstanding looks attracted the attention of many people.

Although Marui Bunta has adapted to the situation, he doesn't want to reveal the conversation to others.

Maori Juzaburo followed Marui's footsteps and walked towards the beach. He wondered why he saw majesty in his junior. Was it because he stayed up too late at night?

It is already six o'clock in the evening. The orange sunset falls far above the sea level, making the sea surface sparkle.

"Senior, do you have anything to ask me?" Marui Bunta felt an obvious prying gaze during training these days, and he probably thought it was this senior.

"What... do you think of me?" Maori Jusaburo was a little hesitant. He felt that this junior often looked at him with a disappointed look, which made him feel a little uncomfortable in the department.

"Senior, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Marui Bunta didn't expect Mori to ask him this question, so he asked Mori with a smile.

"Of course it's true!" Maori frowned. This junior classmate Marui really likes to tease people.

"The truth is, you have decent talent, but your foundation is not that good. If you continue to skip training, you will probably be expelled from the department next semester."

Marui Bunta put away his usual cute smile, and his expressionless face looked a bit cold.

Maori Jusaburo was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, it seems that my junior fellow student doesn't have a very good opinion of me." There was some sadness in Maori Hisaburo's eyes.

So his talent was just okay? Compared to these monster newcomers, his talent was just so-so.

The frustrated Maori Jusaburo looked like a sunflower that had withered in the sun, with his neck bent and unable to straighten his head.

Marui Fumita sighed, realizing that the words he had just used to provoke Mori were too much.

"001, what should I do? How should I comfort Maori-senpai?"

Marui Bunta said that he was numb when he saw his senior looked so gloomy.

001 said that he had no experience either, "How about you treat him like your own brother?"

Marui Bunta felt that he shouldn't ask 001 whose brother was so big.

Seeing that the red-haired senior's eyes were already red, Marui Bunta could only comfort him in a gentle voice as if he was comforting himself, Hao Xiang:

"Senior, do you really believe what I said? Are you really that useless?"

"Ah, isn't it?" Maori Jusaburo's eyes were red and his tone was low.

"Of course not. Is your reputation as a genius just made up by others?"

"You've only been learning tennis for two years and you've achieved what others would take ten years to achieve. Isn't that genius?"

Maori's gray pupils gradually brightened.

"The Minister and the Vice Minister have been playing tennis since elementary school, and Niou and I have been learning tennis for quite a while, so you are really amazing."

Marui told a small lie to comfort Mori-senpai.

Seeing that Mori Jusaburo had regained his bright and cheerful appearance, Marui Bunta secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Senior, do you want to pursue a career in professional tennis in the future?" Marui Bunta asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"Ah... I haven't thought so far." Maori touched his head. He is only in junior high school now.

"I have decided that I want to pursue a career in professional tennis. So have Buchou and Niou."

Maori Jusaburo looked at Marui in surprise. It was amazing that he had decided on his future choice so early!

"So, senior, don't waste your talent. I care about you very much, and of course your companions in the department also care about you, otherwise they wouldn't keep bringing you back for training."

Seeing the worry in Marui Bunta's eyes, Maori Juzaburo muttered: "I'm not a child."

There was a big smile on his face. It felt good to have someone care about you.

It’s great to be here at Rikkai University!

No outsiders knew the content of the conversation between Marui Bunta and Mori Jusaburo, but the members of the tennis club noticed that Mori Jusaburo was beginning to change.

He became diligent and hardworking, and completed the tennis club's work seriously. No matter how tired he was, he never wanted to skip training.

"Ah, Xiang-san, I'm so sad. It was me who discovered you and brought you into the tennis club, but you actually listened to your junior so much!"

Nozawa Sho pretended to be sad and threw himself on Miyazaki Taichi. Maori Jusaburo looked at Nozawa Sho with disgust and complained:

"It's obviously you, senior, who is too unreliable. You almost led us to the basketball team."

"Nani, when you say this, I remember that the director of the basketball club is trying to poach people," Nozawa Sho said gritting his teeth.

"Actually, he also poached me." Taichi Miyazaki adjusted his glasses and stabbed Nozawa Sho again.

"And me..." Iida Jōji smiled and added another stab.

"I also..."

. . . . . . .

It turns out that all his members have been hooked up by that bastard from the basketball club, right?

When Seiichi Yukimura and Genichirō Sanada entered the lounge, the seniors were fighting and the lounge was in chaos.

It seems that the seniors still lacked enough training. Yukimura Seiichi squinted his eyes and looked at the chaotic crowd.

"Hehe, Minister, we were just joking." Nozawa Sho admitted his mistake out of habit when he saw Yukimura Seiichi smile.

Who said that these junior students are all difficult to deal with? The most difficult one among them is the handsome minister in front of him.

"The seniors are really too lax! We'll double the training tomorrow, and the training for those who are just watching will also be doubled!" Sanada spoke immediately after receiving the look from his own senior.

"pupina." Niou said with his own habit, not caring about the punishment.

Maori Jusaburo showed a dead fish eye, really, why is the junior trying to find ways to make us double the training time!

After everyone cleaned up the lounge, Sanada took out a cardboard box. Seeing Marui Fumita's curious look, he put the box in front of Marui and asked him to observe it carefully.

"Let's draw lots. Those who are drawn in this regional selection will go on stage." Genichirō Sanada announced, ignoring Nioh's attempt to take the lead and letting the senior draw the lot first.

"Ah, why am I so unlucky? I'm the second in doubles!" Maori Jusaburo wailed. He had hardly played doubles, and the regional qualifiers were boring!

"Ah, I'm a bye!" Nozawa Sho showed off the red paper in front of Mori Jusaburo.

Maori clenched his fists and told himself that this was his senior, so he had to endure it!

"Hey, Deputy Minister, I'm doubles one." Niou waved the black paper in front of Sanada, and Sanada also drew doubles one.

His long-cherished doubles partner was drawn together with Mao Li for doubles two.

Taichi Miyazaki drew the singles position, Jōji Iida drew the singles position, Renji Yanagi drew the singles position, and Seiichi Yukimura drew the substitute position.

"Then, the above participants are the candidates for this regional selection competition. I hope that everything goes well for you and that you will bring Rikkai University its first victory."

Seiichi Yukimura looked at everyone in the tennis club with a gentle face, and their battle finally began.

"Of course they will. The opponents before the Kanto Tournament are not to be feared. Yukimura-kun doesn't need to worry too much."

Taichi Miyazaki admired the new minister who was strong and capable, and explained to Yukimura and Yanagi.

"This time our opponent is our old rival, Green Jade Middle School. In the past, we didn't need to field all the regular players to win."

Yanagi Renji took out his notebook and gave Miyazaki Taichi the information about the opponents of Midori-gyoku Middle School: "Yes, according to the information, there are no opponents worth noting in this game."

"The purpose of this competition is to train everyone's doubles ability. If we lose a game in doubles this time, we will come back and train four times as hard."

"Also, in future matches, we will adopt a lottery method to randomly match doubles members. Currently, our doubles team still has some shortcomings."

Yanagi Renji closed his notebook and ignored everyone's unhappy faces, and also kindly reminded: "In addition, Marui and I have made some Chinese medicine drinks for everyone based on Chinese medicine. You have to drink one cup for every round you lose."

Now everyone's faces turned from pale to black and then to green. Oh my God, four times the training volume was already exhausting, and there was also that weird-tasting drink!

They absolutely cannot lose a game!

Green Jade Junior High School, which originally wanted to laugh at its old rival because of the replacement of Rikkai University, was beaten to a pulp by the full-strength players of Rikkai University's tennis club before it had a chance to taunt its opponent.

That series of 6:0 was particularly neat, which made Yukimura Seiichi, who was watching the results, feel very pleasing to the eye.

Among them, Niou originally wanted to cause trouble and lose the game, but when Marui Bunta took out a Chinese herbal drink with a strange taste, he gave up his idea of ​​playing mischief.

Please, he just wanted to play a trick on Sanada, not to die!

The schools that had originally been pessimistic about Rikkai University have changed their minds because of Rikkai University's absolute victory in the regional preliminaries. It seems that Rikkai University is still as strong as ever.
