The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Page 80

Yukio Kurobe looked at Maya Yuuki with admiration as she put her racket back into her tennis bag.

In his opinion, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has amazing talent to be able to grow to such a level without the guidance of professionals, systematic training and the support of professional equipment.

Kurobe Yukio was sure that among the top 20 geniuses in their training camp, only a few could reach Yuuki Maya’s current level in the second year of junior high school.

“It’s almost time for this farce to end, and for us to meet this little guy face to face.”

Saito Zhi slowly stood up and looked out the office window.

Inside Court No. 8.

Around the tennis court, high school students fell to the ground one after another, gasping for breath.

Their momentum had completely dissipated, and their fighting spirit had been completely crushed by Maya Yuuki.

Noriyuki Morishita fell into self-doubt. He couldn’t understand why a junior high school student could be so strong?

Yuuki Maya put away his racket and put on his tennis bag. He glanced around and shook his head slightly: “You are so weak. You can’t even be considered a warm-up.”

However, this intensity made it impossible for him to even think about using his full strength.

Originally, he wanted to try out the new moves he had learned from the trial, but this group of people were too weak to fight, so he gave up the idea of ​​experimenting with new moves.

He turned around nonchalantly and prepared to leave for the office building.

Just as I took two steps, a man’s voice suddenly came from the broadcasting around the stadium.

“Court No. 8 lost, all players demoted to Court No. .”

The moment the broadcast ended, the faces of the high school students in Court No. 8 suddenly changed.

We finally made it to court No. 8, but now we’ve been relegated to court No. 16. All our previous efforts have gone to waste!

This is the horror of training camp, the weak have no right to choose.

“Have you finally come to your senses?”

Maya Yuuki stopped and looked up at the building.

On the balcony on the third floor of the building stood a slender adult male wearing a white windbreaker.

He looked at Maya Yuuki with a smile on his face and waved his hand to signal him.

Yuuki Maya naturally recognized that this person was the spiritual coach of the training camp, Saito Susumu.

The other party’s appearance at this moment is self-evident.

Without any hesitation, Yuuki Maya took a step forward and walked downstairs towards the other side.

……

A few minutes later, in the coach’s office.

With a creak, the door was pushed open by Maya Yuuki, and he saw two figures inside.

One is Saito Susumu who was seen outside before, and the other is the tactical coach of the training camp, Kurobe Yukio.

“Hello, nice to meet you, Yuuki-san.”

Kurobe Yukifu took the initiative to greet, and Saito Shi next to him followed suit.

“Hello, coaches.” At Kurobe’s gesture, Yuuki Maya sat on a chair.

“We have roughly learned about your situation from Coach Mifune. We will arrange a place for you to live later.”

“After watching outside for so long just now, I believe you should have some understanding of the situation in our training camp.”

Saito Zhi said with a smile on his face, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

“Well, I do know something about it. The atmosphere here is quite special.” Yuuki Maya smiled mysteriously with a hint of meaning.

“Haha, these are inevitable. It’s good for you to adapt in advance. After all, you will spend the next period of time here.” Kurobe Yukio explained for him with a laugh.

“I see.”

Yuuki Maya nodded casually. It was just a small incident and not even a bother for him.

He was naturally aware of the environment in the training camp, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold without demonstrating certain strength.

Just as the three were chatting, there was a knock on the door, then the door opened, and a high school student wearing glasses and looking a little thin walked in.

“Coach, I’m here.” The thin high school student walked in front of Saito Susumu, and his eyes naturally noticed Yuuki Maya who was sitting there.

“You’re here in Irie. The reason I asked you to come here is this…” Saito Zhi briefly explained the reason.

At the same time, Yuuki Maya was also looking at the high school student who was nicknamed the “Movie Emperor”.

“That’s how it is. You will take Yuki with you later to familiarize him with the training camp and explain some precautions.”

After listening to this, Irie Kanata nodded repeatedly. He turned around and said with a warm smile: “I will call you Yuuki. Welcome to the training camp.”

“Then coach, should I take Yuki with me now?” asked Irie Kanata.

“Well, go ahead… By the way, I forgot to tell you.” Saito Shigeru called out to Yuuki Maya before they left.

“You are now on court No. 8. Although you are the only one on the court right now, you still have to participate in the shuffle between courts as normal.”

Maya Yuuki agreed without hesitation. Since she came here to train, she must of course follow the rules and regulations here.

Then, under the leadership of Kanata Irie, he stood up and left the coaching room.

As coaches of the U17 training camp, Saito Satoshi and Kurobe Yukio have heavy work to do.

Maya Yuuki’s arrival has taken up part of their working time.

Now that the little episode is over, of course the work must continue.

After leaving, Yuuki Maya, led by Irie Kanata, first came to the cafeteria on the first floor.

It’s almost noon now, and it’s time to eat.

The cafeteria of the training camp is very large and the dishes are quite exquisite.

Players from other stadiums came in to eat one after another. When they noticed that Irie Kanata was accompanied by a person who obviously did not look like a high school student, they were surprised and started to talk about it.

But for some reason, none of them came over, but just sat around and cast glances at me from time to time.

Yuuki Maya was not surprised by such strange looks. He ate calmly and didn’t care at all.

Chapter 127: Attention from all sides, different opinions

In full view of everyone, Irie Kanata took Yuuki Maya out of the cafeteria after a while.

It took more than half an hour to familiarize him with the environment of the training camp and explain the rules that needed to be paid attention to.

Maya Yuuki noticed that although Kanata Irie seemed to be very enthusiastic and serious in completing the task assigned by the coach, she was secretly observing his reaction from time to time.

However, Yuuki Maya did not care about the other party’s actions, because this was Irie Kanata’s personal habit and was not directed at him.

Moreover, he is not afraid of anyone’s prying eyes.

“Okay, I’ve almost finished what I need to say. I’ll take you to the dormitory. By the way, did the coach arrange a dormitory for you in advance?”

After looking at the last area, Irie Kanata successfully completed the task.

“No, they didn’t tell me.” Yuuki Maya carefully recalled all the conversations she had with Saito and the others, and shook her head in confirmation.

“I see. Come with me.”

Irie Kanata pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and waved to Yuuki Maya, signaling him to follow.

Following the other person’s footsteps, I took the elevator and arrived at the high school dormitory floor.

Irie Kanata walked to the dormitory manager’s window and said a few words, then took a key from the other person.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the room you’ll be staying in for the time being.”

After getting the key, Irie Kanata walked into a corridor skillfully and stopped at the door of a room.

“We’re here. This is your room. By the way, my room is right next to yours. If you need any help, you can come find me.”

Irie Kanata pointed to the next room and said with a smile.

“Thank you, Irie-senpai. You’ve worked hard today.”

Yuuki Maya nodded. After all, the other party had just taken him on a tour so attentively, so it was necessary to thank him.

After all, the two of them were able to achieve this point when they only met for the first time. If it were someone else, it’s hard to say what would happen.

“Then you should take a rest first. I think the coach will make some arrangements for your training later. I’ll leave now. I have something else to do in the afternoon.”

Irie Kanata left decisively, and Yuuki Maya took the key given by him and opened the dormitory door.

The dormitory was empty, with no signs of anyone else living there. It looked like an empty room.

After walking in, he put the tennis bag on his shoulder into the cabinet at the door. Now, he still needed to tidy up the room a little.

In the evening, Kanata Irie brought the training plan that the coaches had tentatively prepared for Maya Yuuki.

These plans looked very familiar to him, but he accepted them calmly without saying anything, because they might be used by the coaching staff to test his physical data.

……

The next day, indoor training floor.

Maya Yuuki was running at a steady pace on a treadmill, and near him, a group of high school students were secretly looking at him.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

“Of course I heard about it. It was said that the coaches recruited a junior high school student to come here.”

“I don’t understand, why did the coaches suddenly recruit this guy?”

“Hmph, just wait, that guy won’t be able to bear the intensity of this training.”

“It’s hard to say, have you forgotten what happened yesterday?”

“Yesterday? What happened?”

“Of course it’s about Court 8. Yesterday, the entire Court 8 was demoted to Court 16.”

“Huh? Was there a ranking exchange match yesterday?”

“It’s said to be related to this junior high school student. It’s said that he defeated everyone on court 8 by himself, so the coaches moved everyone on court 8 to court 16.”

“Hiss! Is this true?!”

The circle of the training camp is not big, and any little movement will basically spread to the entire high school student circle the next day.

The coaching staff did not try to hide what Yuuki Maya did yesterday, and even intended to release the news.

In the face of the whispers of others, Maya Yuuki didn’t care and continued to run on the treadmill while maintaining her breathing rhythm.

A day’s training passed in a flash. Wearing training clothes soaked with sweat, Yuuki Maya returned to the dormitory and prepared to take a shower.

At the same time, in the coach’s office, three figures gathered in front of a screen, looking at the picture on the screen together.

On the screen is the video of Yuuki Maya’s training today.

“What do you two think?”

Kurobe Yukio looked at the two people next to him. He wanted to hear what they thought first.

“Let me start by saying that after a day of observation, I found that this little guy’s physique far exceeds that of his peers. After completing all the physical strengthening training programs I gave him, he still has some strength left.”

The person who spoke first had a slicked-back hair, wore a simple vest, and had well-defined muscles in his arms.

He is the coach in the U17 training camp who is responsible for improving the players’ physical fitness, Takushi Ryuji.

His expression was serious, but there was admiration in his eyes.

“The data I gave is that his strength is between 5 and 6. His physical strength has not been measured to the limit, but it is definitely 6.”

When Takushi Ryuji said this, he couldn’t help but feel emotional again. The opponent’s two data alone had already reached the top level in the training camp.

“Then let me say something about his skills. Overall, from yesterday’s match, his tennis foundation is very solid, but I can’t tell his specific style, so I can only conservatively give him a 5.”

“Speed, too. He has a strong sense of rhythm in his steps, but I can see that part of it is due to anticipating the opponent’s ball path, so it’s probably around 4-5.”

Saito Shizuo pulled up the video footage captured yesterday on another screen and expressed his analysis.

“Huh, it seems that this guy is fully qualified to enter the first court based on the data he roughly measured, and be directly listed as a reserve.”

“But Saito, as a spiritual coach, why didn’t you tell us his spiritual power data?”
