The name Chiba Yun Chuan kept appearing in Hyotei Academy's ears, and Yagami slowly became familiar to people.
Even tennis reporters and the tennis clubs of other schools were paying attention to this news!
At the same time, this news also began to spread to schools across Country R.
In the Kanto region, at the Rikkai Dai Fuzhong tennis club.
Yanagi Renji, who had received news about Chiba Yun Chuan, immediately discussed it with Yukimura Seiichi and Sanada Genichirou.
"This Chiba Yun Chuan actually beat Atobe six-love?" Sanada's tone carried a hint of surprise.
"He's the current Hyotei captain, and he's only a first-year," Yanagi Renji looked at Sanada, a flash of sharpness in his eyes.
"Last year, we thought Hyotei's strength would be greatly weakened after their captain Ochiida Hikaru graduated, but I didn't expect them to still be this strong!" Sanada recalled Hyotei from last year. Although they had defeated them, the win hadn't been easy.
"Captain Yukimura, what are your thoughts?" Yanagi Renji asked the Child of God, Yukimura of Rikkai Dai Fuzhong.
"None. As for this Chiba Yun Chuan, we'll naturally find out when the Kanto Tournament arrives. Yanagi Renji, Genichirou, let's focus on training. Our opponents are also getting stronger," Yukimura Seiichi's tone remained gentle.
Hearing this, both Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichirou became serious.
"Understood."
Just then.
At Seishun Academy's tennis club.
Seigaku's glorious history aside, they once even surpassed Hyotei Academy and still had considerable fame. This was entirely thanks to one person: the Samurai, Echizen Nanjirou!
Currently, Seigaku's captain, Tezuka, was communicating with Seigaku tennis club's coach, Ryuzaki Sumire.
As they spoke, they watched the tennis club members undergoing physical training on the court.
"Coach, Hyotei has a new captain, a first-year! His name is Chiba Yun Chuan."
Tezuka stood with his arms crossed, side-by-side with Ryuzaki Sumire.
Ryuzaki Sumire's name, like Echizen Nanjirou's, had once resonated throughout the country. She had led Seigaku to a new height!
Now, seeing Seigaku decline year after year made Ryuzaki Sumire, who had experienced Seigaku's glory, increasingly worried.
Seigaku had even fallen to the point where they hadn't reached the National Tournament in years. Therefore, getting Seigaku into the National Tournament was Ryuzaki Sumire's goal!
Like Tezuka, Ryuzaki Sumire also liked to stand with her arms crossed. Who knew who learned from whom!
"Oh?"
Ryuzaki Sumire was very surprised to hear this news!
Seigaku had been eliminated by Hyotei in the Kanto Tournament last year, so she was very familiar with Hyotei's strength!
She was particularly puzzled by Hyotei's meritocratic system!
A first-year could be captain?
In her opinion, first-years should focus on picking up balls and building a solid foundation. Rushing into matches would definitely affect their foundation.
It would definitely impact them.
This was her long-held belief.
But this news made her feel incredulous.
Could a first-year be this strong?
The former Atobe Keigo, and now Chiba Yun Chuan, who possessed immense strength!
"Did Hyotei's captain, Atobe Keigo, compete against him?" Ryuzaki Sumire asked slowly.
"Six-love," Tezuka said, his eyes filled with gravity.
"What!"
Upon hearing those words, Ryuzaki Sumire immediately exclaimed.
However, she quickly calmed down and continued, "Just like that Atobe, participating in matches as a first-year offers them no benefits! What are Hyotei's coaches thinking?"
Hearing Ryuzaki Sumire's words, Tezuka's heart trembled slightly.
Is this Seigaku? he thought, and subconsciously glanced at his left hand.
Tezuka's inner conviction began to waver slightly.
But upon remembering the words of his former captain, Yamato Yuudai, he immediately strengthened his resolve!
I must lead Seigaku to the National Tournament, I must!
"A first-year serving as captain, a first-year! Chiba Yun Chuan!"
Although Ryuzaki Sumire's expression remained unchanged, seeing that her opponents were growing stronger, she began to doubt Seigaku's system.
However, it was impossible for her to abandon the system she had adhered to for decades immediately!
She wasn't stupid either. Whether it was Atobe Keigo or Chiba Yun Chuan, anyone who could become a club president as a first-year student definitely had considerable strength!
But what was Atobe's strength? National level! A score of six-zero was truly terrifying!
Thinking of this, Ryuzaki Sumire seemed to recall something and immediately said to Tezuka, "Tezuka, you continue to supervise their training. I need to go take care of something!"
After speaking, she slowly left the tennis club.
"Coach Ryuzaki, please rest assured, I will make the arrangements."
Watching Ryuzaki Sumire's retreating back, Tezuka replied before continuing to watch the club members training on the court.
He especially noticed Momoshiro and Kaido Kaoru, who were picking up balls. Both were first-year students he saw as having the potential for starting positions!
However, they couldn't become starters. In Tezuka's eyes, this was a constant sorrow.
Everything in Seigaku's tennis club was decided by the coach. Although he was the captain now, just like the former captain Oishi Yuudai, he couldn't interfere!
Tezuka didn't sigh. This only strengthened his resolve to lead Seigaku into the National Tournament!
At this moment, Tezuka's thoughts had drifted far away.
"Chiba Yun Chuan, first-year. Fortunately, he's not at Seigaku!"
The departing Chiba Yun Chuan certainly didn't know about these things.
With a ride in a private car, he soon returned home, where his enthusiastic mother greeted him!
After dinner, Chiba Yun Chuan came to the familiar tennis gym, the court where he had trained for several months.
Hana was training at the moment. Li Yun didn't interrupt her but silently called up the System, bringing up the interface.

Seeing his attribute panel, there were basically no changes!
At Chiba Yun Chuan's current level, it wasn't easy to increase his strength further.
Therefore, the attribute points hadn't changed much.
However, a new system reward had appeared: Asura Path!
He continued to look at the System's mission log and found a new mission!
Lead Hyotei into the National Tournament?
This mission wasn't simple!
With Hyotei's current strength, entering the Kanto Tournament was more than enough, but there was still a risk of entering the National Tournament!
However, the reward made Chiba Yun Chuan excited!
