Chaos - Other Dimension?!

Other Dimension!

Even at the U-17 training camp, only a few people mastered it. I didn't expect the System to directly reward one!

Moreover, just by looking at the name, it feels like it has a significant background. It seems there's one such Other Dimension in the System Mall that's worth ten million, though the name might be different.

Chiba Yun Chuan looked at the "Beginner" after the reward, wondering what that meant.

Never mind, as long as it's an Other Dimension, that's good enough.

He thought again, having even one is great. Anyway, he probably couldn't afford the ones in the System.

He'll make do!

The moment he thought of an Other Dimension...

Chiba Yun Chuan immediately resolved to enter the National Tournament!

With Hyotei Academy's current strength, it's actually a bit dangerous to get into the National Tournament! After all, the only ones he's absolutely confident in winning with right now is himself.

Even Atobe has a chance of losing!

If they meet Rikkai Dai in the first round of the Kanto Tournament, Hyotei's current strength has almost zero chance of winning!

So Chiba Yun Chuan planned to do something! His mind began to churn.

Meanwhile

At Echizen Nanjirou's home

In the backyard tennis court

Ryuzaki Sumire and Nanjirou were sitting on the ground.

Nanjirou was very serious today, not as flippant as usual.

"Nanjirou, time flies so fast. I'm getting old, and you're not playing tennis anymore!" This was the first thing Ryuzaki Sumire said to Nanjirou.

"Shut up, old hag. You were this annoying when you were in school, and you're still the same! Just say what you need to say quickly!" Nanjirou was a bit impatient.

"You still have the same lack of patience as when you were young!

I came today to talk to you about something. Your son, Echizen Ryoma, will be starting middle school next year. Let him come to Seigaku!" After hearing Ryuzaki Sumire's words, Nanjirou was silent for a few seconds, then said, "No, he won't go to Seigaku!"

Nanjirou's words greatly surprised Ryuzaki Sumire!

"Why? Don't you know my capabilities, Nanjirou? Echizen Ryoma will definitely receive the best guidance at Seigaku!

With his talent, he will become another legend of Seigaku, just like you were back then!

As long as he comes to Seigaku and builds a foundation for a year, by his second year, he will definitely be a main regular player for Seigaku.

I've always disagreed with you sending him to America to compete. Now is a crucial period for him to build his foundation, not to compete everywhere! It won't do him any good!"

Nanjirou looked at Ryuzaki Sumire and slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Clink! After lighting it, Whoosh~~~~

Taking a deep drag, Nanjirou slowly said, "Build a foundation?

Old hag, don't you think your ideas are too outdated? Ryoma, like his brother Ryoga, possesses extremely strong tennis talent.

Their foundation is already stronger than that of their peers!"

Hearing Nanjirou's words, Ryuzaki Sumire frowned.

"Nanjirou, I hope you consider this carefully. First-year students should indeed build a solid foundation. Across the country, only Seigaku places such importance on the foundation issues of first-year students!"

"Old hag, you still don't understand.

How many first-year kids were on the national championship team last year? How many first-year kids were on Hyotei, who defeated Seigaku last year? Haven't you seen all this? You're still thinking that first-years don't need to play matches, that first-years can only build a foundation? Times are changing!"

Nanjirou knew that Ryuzaki Sumire's perception of first-year students was stuck in the past, which was a huge mistake for a coach! So he wanted to enlighten her now.

But Ryuzaki Sumire couldn't hear him at all, her expression immediately turned unpleasant!

"Nanjirou, don't you want your son to join the school you once attended? You are the pride of Seigaku. The achievements Seigaku has today can be said to be created by you and me. Don't you have any regard for our past relationship?"

Nanjirou took another deep drag of his cigarette, then extinguished the butt before saying, "Old hag, times have changed. You can't let first-year students waste a year on so-called foundation training. Perhaps a year of foundation training can indeed enhance their strength, but playing tennis is like fighting a war!

You always pursue progress through actual combat. For some beginners, playing one match is more effective than training for a week!

If Seigaku doesn't reform, it will only slowly decline. Wanting to achieve good results again is just wishful thinking!"

"But..." Ryuzaki Sumire seemed to have something to say.

Nanjirou's words sounded a bit harsh, but he ignored Ryuzaki Sumire and continued, "Seigaku has been coached by you from the past to the present. Have you really not reflected on yourself?"

Just like Ryoga before him, I won't let my son waste a year of his life for nothing!"

Hearing Nanjiro's words, Ryuzaki Sumire couldn't stay any longer.

With an angry expression, she stood up and turned to leave!

It wasn't just the unwillingness of not getting Nanjiro's permission, but also Nanjiro's rejection of her, which she couldn't accept!

After all, Nanjiro had come through this way before, and his achievements were so high.

Nanjiro had always been her pride, a pride that could never be erased in her lifetime!

Seeing Ryuzaki Sumire leave, Nanjiro didn't say anything to stop her.

Instead, he picked up the cat teaser beside him and slowly extended it towards Karupin, who was fast asleep.

"Meow~~~~"

"Karupin, what are you doing!"

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan was analyzing the strength of each school based on the information in his mind!

And how to deal with them.

First is last year's National Tournament champion, Rikkai Dai Fuzhong!

Rikkai Dai, who managed to win the championship from Oshitari, must not be an ordinary opponent!

If the anime's setting is followed, Rikkai Dai will still be the champion this year, completing their second consecutive National Tournament victory! And this year, Hyotei will also lose to Rikkai Dai.

Rikkai Dai's strongest players right now are their singles players. Yukimura can be handled by himself. For Sanada, Atobe's current strength has no chance of winning against him. There's also Yanagi Renji, and Hyotei has no one who can deal with him! As for doubles, it's even more out of the question!

Looking at it this way, defeat is certain!

Moreover, there's Oshitari. Although his overall strength has dropped by more than one level since the third-year students like Byodoin entered high school, they still have quite a few strong players!

Fortunately, there are still a few months left, and everything can still be done!

He glanced at the System again.

The only change was the Show-off Value, but the change wasn't significant. Yesterday, he had tried so hard to show off! And only gained a little over two hundred points, which shows how difficult it is to obtain Show-off Value!

At this time, Hana's training also ended. Chiba Yun Chuan picked up a towel from the shelf beside him and walked towards her.

"How is it? How's your recovery?" he said as he handed her the towel.

Chiba Yun Chuan was a completely different person in front of Hana and his family compared to how he was in front of others, completely lacking the arrogance he displayed in the Hyotei tennis club.
