"Is it over? Atobe is the coolest!"

"Don't cry, kid, the captain is too cruel!"

"Just like this, teach him a good lesson."

"Atobe scores, 4-0."

"Atobe scores, 5-0."

"Atobe scores, forty-love."

Only one more point, and Chiba Yun Chuan would lose this match!

Could it really be like this?

It was Chiba Yun Chuan's serve, but the Chiba Yun Chuan opposite Atobe didn't serve. In fact, Atobe hadn't noticed that the Chiba Yun Chuan opposite him hadn't looked up since the match began!

Atobe was already certain of victory, so he prepared to finish off Chiba Yun Chuan with one shot!

"What's wrong, kid? Just one more point and I can finish you!

Accept the defeat bestowed upon you by this great me!

Serve it up, your defeat today is already sealed."

Atobe was extremely smug, speaking arrogantly, just waiting for Chiba Yun Chuan to serve so he could deliver the fatal blow.

But the Chiba Yun Chuan opposite him, upon hearing his words, didn't serve immediately. Instead, he slowly raised his head and said, "Is that so? Atobe, look at who I am?"

Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan's words, Atobe looked at him slowly, a smile on his lips.

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan also slowly raised his head, revealing his face.

When Atobe Keigo saw clearly, his pupils contracted. He was shocked to find that the Chiba Yun Chuan opposite him looked exactly like him!

Was he hallucinating?

Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and his vision began to blur!

And the surroundings started to spin.

"What's going on? Why do you look exactly like me?" Atobe felt his body slowly becoming heavy.

After a brief moment of dizziness and spinning, his vision began to clear.

In fact, Atobe hadn't noticed that he was very different from his usual self!

He was using techniques that even he didn't know he possessed, yet he was able to execute them!

But immersed in the joy of victory, he didn't realize it.

From the start of the match, Atobe hadn't been Atobe!

To be precise, Atobe wasn't playing against Chiba Yun Chuan!

"How is this possible? How is this possible? What's wrong with the captain? How could this happen? The captain is actually going to lose!

There's only one point left!" Mukahi Gakuto, who was the referee, his trembling voice reached Atobe's ears, his tone filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Atobe felt that the scene before his eyes was the only reality! The sunlight was slightly harsh, and the surrounding discussions slowly entered Atobe's ears.

"The captain is actually going to be defeated 6-0? This person is too strong! Is he even human?"

"Who is he? The captain is completely helpless in his hands! This is terrifying, the captain is said to have national-level strength!"

"This first-year is too strong, is Hyotei going to change?"

"Is he really a first-year?"

Hearing the discussions around him, Atobe's eyes slowly focused, and his mind cleared up!

Immediately, Atobe looked at the Chiba Yun Chuan standing opposite him with his racket. He saw that Chiba Yun Chuan's expression was relaxed, and he wasn't even out of breath.

As for himself, Atobe reached out and touched his forehead. He was covered in sweat! A wave of fatigue slowly washed over him, making him feel a sense of powerlessness in his body!

Leaning on the racket for support, Atobe slowly said, "How, how is this possible? I was clearly about to defeat you!" Atobe's tone was filled with disbelief!

This was the first time Atobe had lost so inexplicably since he started playing tennis!

If it weren't for the people around him discussing that he was going to lose.

Atobe couldn't believe what he was seeing. He had clearly defeated him! How could he be the one losing?

How could he possibly lose to a freshman who was only in his first year?

This was something the usually proud Atobe could not accept.

"Could it be? That would be too terrifying!"

Atobe seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze turned to Chiba Yun Chuan with disbelief.

And at this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan was ready to end the match!

"Atobe, the last point, watch carefully!" After Chiba Yun Chuan spoke, he didn't care about Atobe's reaction.

He tossed the tennis ball down, caught the bouncing ball with his hand, then tossed it up, jumped, and swung his racket!

BANG!

The tennis ball met the racket, and with a gust of air, it swept towards Atobe's half of the court. The ball was incredibly fast, crossing the net in the blink of an eye.

Atobe concentrated, trying desperately to see the ball clearly, but he could only catch fleeting glimpses of its afterimage!

"The ball disappeared? How could it be so fast?"

"What kind of serve is that? It's too monstrous!"

"A serve with this kind of power shouldn't belong to a junior high schooler anymore, right?"

"So amazing, he wasn't using his full strength all along? That's terrifying!"

Around the tennis courts, everyone who saw Chiba Yun Chuan's serve widened their eyes!

Even though they saw how Chiba Yun Chuan served, they couldn't see the ball at all.

At this moment, Shishido Ryo, Oshitari Yuushi, Akutagawa Jirou, and even Mukahi Gakuto, who was sitting on the court as the referee, couldn't see even a trace of the ball's trajectory!

"How can it be this fast? I can't see it at all."

Shishido Ryo asked with a grave expression, "Did any of you see it?"

"No!"

The other three shook their heads.

As the referee, Mukahi felt it even more intensely!

He took a deep breath and then stared at Chiba Yun Chuan!

What was his true strength?

Even Atobe, with his exceptional eyesight, could only see a faint afterimage of Chiba Yun Chuan's serve, let alone the people around them.

BANG!

Finally, the tennis ball landed to Atobe's left, creating a small crater before bouncing off the net behind him. It spun for a long time before finally stopping. The court was eerily silent, with only Atobe's breathing and the sound of the rolling ball audible!

The surroundings were quiet; not a single person spoke!

How could Chiba Yun Chuan let such an opportunity pass? He immediately said, "I said I'd make you all quiet down, and it seems that was easy!

So, the next step is to make you all shout my name. I don't think that will be too difficult either, right?

This match hasn't even reached the intensity of a warm-up. Is this the strength of Hyotei's captain? You've truly disappointed me! Referee, it's time to announce the result!"

Chiba Yun Chuan swept his gaze around as he spoke, his expression incredibly smug.

"I don't think anyone here will have any objections to me being the captain of the Hyotei Tennis Club now, right?

So, now...

Who is in favor? Who is against?"

Chiba Yun Chuan raised his tennis racket, pointing it towards all the regulars and club members around him. After a brief sweep, he lowered the racket.

Everyone who met his gaze lowered their heads!

They didn't dare to meet his eyes for even a second!

"Ding, Show-off Value +10!

Show-off Value +4!"

Another wave of Show-off Value was credited.

In fact, Chiba Yun Chuan had deliberately let Atobe wake up; otherwise, Atobe wouldn't have easily broken free from Chiba Yun Chuan's illusionary realm.
