Prince of Tennis: The Emperor's Eye

After two days of rest in Kumamoto, Akashi and Kurasaki took a private plane to Ryukyu Island again. Strictly speaking, Ryukyu Island does not belong to Japan, but it is currently under the jurisdiction of Japan.

Since Ryukyu is located on the seashore, it is still very hot in this season. As soon as Akashi and Kurasaki got off the plane, they felt the heat waves and the air was filled with a faint smell of sea water.

After the group drove to the resort hotel of Akashi Group, the lobby manager of the hotel also hurried out to lead Akashi and Kurasaki to the presidential suite on the top floor.

As soon as he arrived in the room, after putting down his luggage, Kurasaki frowned and said:

"It's really hot at the beach."

"In fact, the temperature here is not much higher than other places, but the moisture in the air is very high. However, training in such an environment is very helpful for improving endurance." Akashi said while considering whether to bring the members here for a hellish special training in the future.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Who is the target this time? What exactly do you mean by the last piece of the puzzle?" Kurasaki asked, obviously wanting to change the subject.

"Of course it's our champion puzzle. As long as we successfully recruit him, then the national three consecutive championships will be within our grasp! As for the identity of this person, you will know later. By the way, his personality is somewhat similar to yours~" Akashi said slowly.

"His personality is somewhat similar to mine? Then I'm even more curious." Kurasaki also looked forward to it.

"Yes, the same coldness, or cruelty is more appropriate. He is synonymous with using any means to achieve his goals." Akashi said with some interest.

Just as Zangtuza was about to say something, the doorbell of the room suddenly rang. After getting Akashi's approval, a man in formal clothes walked in respectfully and handed the file bag in his hand to Akashi with both hands.

"Master, the personnel information you ordered to investigate has been completed and is in the file bag!"

"Very good, I know, go down~" Akashi took the file bag and said lightly.

After the man bowed and left the room, Akashi opened the file bag, took out the two A4 papers inside, and slowly read them. Zangtuza also walked to Akashi curiously and read them together. It was written on the file:

Kute Nagashiro, 12 years old, studied at Ryukyu South Elementary School and has graduated. At the age of nine, he won the Ryukyu Martial Arts Competition [Baseball Club] Championship. He has very good physical fitness and martial arts background, and also has a super sense of balance far beyond his peers.

The following are some personal hobbies and family information. Kurasaki did not look at them carefully, but asked Akashi:

"Is this the last piece of the puzzle you mentioned? But I didn't see his tennis information in the information. Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"

"Hehe, believe me, Lilia, his talent is not simple, even not inferior to Tachibana and others. What I like most is actually his ambition." Akashi said with a hint of meaning.

"Here you go again. You seem to be very familiar with him even though we haven't met. Your secret is really not simple, Akashi!" Kurasaki has seen Akashi's expression for the first time.

"Lilia, don't I always say that my eyes can see the future? The plan set up by seeing the future trend without being noticed is called layout." Akashi's tone was full of confidence.

"Okay, anyway, I believe you, because you are always right, right?" Kurasaki said helplessly.

"Of course, victory is everything, and I who have defeated everything, everything is right!" Akashi's second-year soul began to burn.

The next day, Akashi and Kurasa, accompanied by hotel staff, came to the beach near Ryukyu South Elementary School. According to survey data, Nagashiro Kide has been exercising at the beach in recent days, and today is no exception. Kide is wearing a vest and jogging along the beach.

Akashi and Kurasa took a look around after arriving at the beach, and soon found Kide who was running, but Akashi did not rush forward, but stood under the parasol and watched quietly.

Not long after, Kide slowly stopped, did a few squats on the spot to adjust his breathing, took out a tennis racket from his bag, and then walked to the sea, stood in the sea water just above his knees, and began to practice swinging the racket.

"Haha, a very smart way to practice, but it's still a bit rough,

It's almost time, let's go, Lilia!" Akashi said and walked towards Kita Eishiro, and Kurasaki followed behind him.

Kita, who was practicing swinging the racket at this time, noticed someone approaching vigilantly, then stopped his hand movements and turned to look in the direction of the person coming. Some reflective glasses made it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

"Very good vigilance, sorry to disturb your training." Akashi smiled and said to Kita, who had not yet changed into the hairspray-filled hairstyle.

"Who are you? It's very dangerous to chat with people casually!" Kita looked at Akashi calmly, while talking, he walked out of the sea water, and at the same time, his body was slightly in a posture, which could ensure that he could knock down the opponent in the first time.

"It's our first meeting. Let me introduce myself. My name is Akashi Seijuro, and the one next to me is Lilia Ande Kurasaki, a Japanese German. Don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else. We just saw you practicing swinging the racket, and I guess you like tennis, right? "Although Akashi saw the body movements of Mu Shou, he didn't care too much.

"Tell me your purpose." Mu Shou didn't relax his vigilance at all after hearing Akashi's words, and his eyes were still fixed on Akashi.

"Okay~ I just said that I saw you practicing swinging the racket, so I should be able to play tennis, so I want to find you to play a friendly match. After all, just practicing swinging the racket alone can't improve your tennis skills." Akashi still said with a smile.

"You want to play tennis with me? Why?" Mu Shou was slightly relieved after hearing that Akashi wanted to play tennis with him.

"After all, only by playing more games with others can you improve your strength, right? Training alone can't test the results." Akashi replied lightly.

"What you said makes sense. Although I don't mind playing a game with you, you can also see that this is the seaside. How are you going to play tennis?" Mu Shou didn't object after confirming that Akashi and the others had no other purpose.

"This is simple. It happens that I have a private tennis court nearby. We can move there to play a game. "Since Akashi decided to play tennis, the family has either purchased or built several private tennis courts for him all over the country, so that Akashi can practice tennis anytime and anywhere.

"Really? Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!" Kido's eyes flashed when he heard that Akashi had a private tennis court.

After tidying up his clothes, Kido picked up his bag and got in the car with Akashi and the others. Kido also introduced himself in the car.

Soon, the group arrived at Akashi's private tennis court. It was the first time for Kido to come to such a high-end court, but there was no obvious expression on his face.

Then the two came to both sides of the court and did warm-up exercises, while Kurasaki climbed up to the referee's seat consciously. At Akashi's signal, the serve was given to Kido Eishiro.

"The game ends, Kido Eishiro serves! "Soon after, Kurasaki announced the start of the game.

At this time, Nagashiro Kide was far from being as strong as in the original book. After all, he had only been practicing tennis for more than half a year. However, with his excellent physical fitness and martial arts foundation since childhood, his tennis strength still exceeded that of most of his peers.

Akagi still took out his cross racket. This was not just for show. Although he had mastered the light hitting and sweet spot techniques with the system's reward, it did not mean that Akashi could completely integrate this technique into his instinct. After all, mastering skills is one thing, and forming muscle memory is another.

After seeing Akashi's racket, Kide did not say much, but his eyes became a little cold. His natural character destined him not to question like Chitose, but to give prey like an assassin hidden in the dark. A fatal blow.

With the sound of hitting the ball, Mu Te smoothly hit the tennis ball to Akashi's half court. His excellent explosive power gave his serve a high quality and speed. Akashi calmly came to the landing point, hit the tennis ball accurately with the center of the racket, and hit the ball back.

In order to test Mu Te's current strength, Akashi deliberately let it go. The ball speed was not very fast, and Mu Te easily caught up with the tennis ball. The two sides soon started to fight. After a few rounds of fighting, Mu Te suddenly stepped forward and hit the tennis ball to Akashi's feet, but he also left a huge gap on his left side.

Akashi did not hesitate and used a half-volley to hit the tennis ball to Mu Te's left baseline. Kurasaki, who was sitting in the referee's seat, shook his head and felt that Mu Te was too aggressive. With such an obvious gap, he was afraid that he would lose points.

Just as Kurasaki was thinking this, Mu Te suddenly

Suddenly, as if teleporting, he appeared at the left baseline of the court and successfully intercepted the flying tennis ball.
