Smash Technique, Kou Sanze In Naraku

This year's tournament has concluded.

As the voice echoed from the plaza, the spectators outside the court gazed at the court with reluctance.

The audience by the sidelines had never imagined that this year's elementary school tournament would be so spectacular.

Kannagi Shinichi, Yukimura Seiichi, Sanada Genichiro, Tachibana Kippei, Chitose Senri, and of course, Tezuka Kunimitsu, who wasn't present before the quarter-finals.

These six players hadn't lost a single point before the quarter-finals, and each of them was as strong as any junior high school student.

Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro had even reached the national level, becoming top junior tennis players in Japan.

As for Kannagi Shinichi, his strength might have long surpassed that of junior high school students; he belonged to another dimension entirely.

The spectators and players still lingering on the court turned their eyes towards the white-haired boy holding the trophy.

His face was cold and proud. Even after winning this trophy, he acted as if it were an insignificant matter, as if the trophy rightfully belonged to him.

What a powerful young man. If they remembered correctly, Kannagi Shinichi was only twelve years old this year.

At twelve, possessing such strength, it was hard to imagine what heights his future achievements would reach.

Professional? Or perhaps the world stage?

Just as everyone was focused on Kannagi Shinichi, he was lost in his own thoughts because the system template finally had a change.

Kannagi Shinichi

Five-Dimensional Stats

Strength: 3 Speed: 1 Stamina: 5 Skill: 4 Spirit: 8

Total Five-Dimensional Stats: 1

Kaido Template Progress: 00001%

Ultimate Skills: Dragon's Roar (Self-created Skill), Two-Handed... Thunder... Rumbling... Eight... Trigrams (Unlock Progress 00005%), Complete Body Thunderclap Eight Trigrams (Unlock Progress 00002%), Kou Sanze In Naraku (Unlock Progress 00001%), Wind Blade (Locked), Corrupting Wind (Locked), Thunderclap (Locked), Tornado (Locked), Tornado Corrupting Wind (Locked), Heat Breath (Locked)...

That is, defeating the main characters of the original timeline would significantly increase his system template progress.

After just finishing his match against Yukimura Seiichi, his Skill stat had increased by 3, but that wasn't important.

The most important thing was that he had gained a new skill: Smash Technique, Kou Sanze In Naraku.

Kannagi Shinichi felt this move was prepared for his future teammate, Atobe Keigo.

Currently, although Atobe Keigo was excellent in all aspects of his five-dimensional stats, his only signature tennis move was the Smash Technique, Dance of Destruction.

And for the system template to awaken such a signature move for him, Kannagi Shinichi felt:

To use an opponent's most proud smash technique to strike them, and this person was the extremely proud Atobe Keigo.

Thinking of this, Kannagi Shinichi couldn't wait for the new school year to arrive. He wanted Atobe Keigo to experience the feeling of having his racket smashed away.

Putting away the system template in his mind, he hid his own little "darkness."

After Kannagi Shinichi accepted the trophy, the spectators by the court began to disperse slowly. On the court, only the players packing their tennis bags remained, along with coaches from tennis schools wanting to recruit talented players from this tournament.

At this moment, Kannagi Shinichi, holding the trophy, walked up to Sakaki Taro.

"Well done." Sakaki Taro was usually cold and rarely smiled at others, but towards Kannagi Shinichi, his tone was always gentle and smiling.

Kannagi Shinichi was also polite, bowing slightly to Sakaki Taro: "Thank you."

"Mm." Sakaki Taro nodded with satisfaction at Kannagi Shinichi, then continued: "Do you want to come with me to invite Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro?"

After hearing Sakaki Taro's words, Kannagi Shinichi knew that their advisor wanted to build Hyotei into a "Galactic Battleship," completely dominating the national junior high school tournaments for the next three years.

Although he didn't hold out much hope for inviting Yukimura and Sanada, Kannagi Shinichi still agreed: "Okay, I understand."

After Kannagi Shinichi finished speaking, the two walked over to Yukimura and Sanada, who were still packing their belongings.

"Hello, I am Sakaki Taro, the advisor for the Hyotei tennis club." Sakaki Taro tried his best to put a smile on his usually stern face, but to Kannagi Shinichi, Sakaki Taro's smile seemed a bit out of place.

Yukimura and Sanada turned around. They first exchanged a glance, then Yukimura Seiichi spoke: "Hello, may I ask what you need from us?"

"Hyotei Academy is willing to offer a scholarship and would like to invite you to join Hyotei." Sakaki Taro spoke directly, without beating around the bush.

Yukimura Seiichi glanced at Sanada Genichiro. Sanada subtly shook his head, so Yukimura bowed politely and declined: "Thank you for your invitation, but Seiichi and I have already chosen which junior high school to attend. We are truly sorry."

Hearing their refusal, Sakaki Taro felt a bit disappointed. His peripheral vision glanced at Kannagi Shinichi. Tennis players in this world, as expected, weren't all as money-loving as his own boy.

Kannagi Shinichi also noticed Sakaki Taro's gaze and couldn't help but roar inwardly: What's wrong with loving money! Is there a mistake in liking money!

Since both of them were already national-level players, their joining another school together could make them formidable enemies for Hyotei in the future. Thus, Sakaki Taro presumptuously asked: "May I ask, which school will you be choosing for junior high?"

"We're going to Kanagawa Rikkai Dai Fuzhong," Yukimura Seiichi said, not hiding his choice.

"Rikkai Dai Fuzhong?" Sakaki Taro murmured, then politely said to Yukimura and Sanada, "Then we won't bother you!"

"You're too kind," Yukimura and Sanada replied politely to Sakaki Taro.

With that settled, Sakaki Taro led Kannagi Shinichi away. Sakaki Taro was now wary of Rikkai Dai, as the school had been Hyotei's main rival in the Kanto region for the past few years. Its tennis club had even won the Kanto championship ten consecutive times, making it a top-tier powerhouse in junior high tennis.

With the addition of Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro, Sakaki Taro was convinced that Rikkai Dai would be Hyotei's biggest competitor for the next three years.

Seeing that Hyotei had been rejected by Yukimura and Sanada, Ryuzaki Sumire, who had intended to invite the two to Seigaku, stopped in her tracks, shook her head, and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Kannagi Shinichi, still with Sakaki Taro, went to invite Chitose Senri and Tachibana Kippei, but was also rejected by both.

Among the many tennis club coaches who came to the tournament site that day, only Bandou Mikiya managed to invite Sengoku Kiyosumi, one of the top four. Although Sengoku Kiyosumi's advancement to the top four was purely due to luck, luck is sometimes a form of strength.

Kannagi Shinichi had already anticipated not being able to invite Yukimura and the others, so he didn't care much. After all, Atobe Keigo would be joining Hyotei in the new academic year, and his potential was no less than that of Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichiro.

Moreover, Kannagi Shinichi had an even bigger recruitment target in mind: Mouri Jusaburou, who would be transferring in the new academic year.

Kannagi Shinichi was unwilling to strengthen the enemy by letting Mouri Jusaburou join Rikkai Dai.

Besides, with Mouri Jusaburou's addition, Hyotei's singles lineup of himself, Atobe Keigo, and Mouri Jusaburou would be unmatched by any school in the entire Japanese junior high world.

As Kannagi Shinichi pondered how to recruit Mouri Jusaburou in the future and followed Sakaki Taro to leave, a voice called out from behind them.

"Kannagi Shinichi, would you mind playing a match with me?"

"No!"
