And the players on the court don’t even look like middle schoolers. Your intel gathering plan is probably going to fail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Xiao Xing had said the street tennis court had skilled players, so Shengzai had paid special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after watching several matches, Shengzai found the players’ skill levels were quite average—not completely amateur, but barely above casual player level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet wherever there’s a place to show off, the protagonist is never absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shengzai was losing interest and preparing to leave, two students carrying tennis bags—one tall, one short—suddenly arrived at the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short one wore a baseball cap; the tall one had an extremely noticeable black spiky crew cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking the court, they defeated over ten pairs with just serves and returns, instantly drawing all the attention in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The street tennis court’s rule is one-set matches, with the challenger serving first, and only doubles are played here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xiao Xing saw the two dominating the court, she widened her eyes in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had confidently told Shengzai that the street tennis court had skilled players, she herself knew well that these so-called “skilled” players couldn’t compare to those from tennis elite schools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xing had often come here to play before, but she had never seen these two before today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t expect you’d actually be right—there really are regional tournament players here playing tennis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Prince of Tennis” is a long-running anime; Shengzai couldn’t remember all the plot details, only the main storyline and some memorable matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When hearing Shengzai’s words, Xiao Xing stared at him with a confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re the regular members of Seishun Academy’s tennis team—the rivals we’ll face in the regional tournament.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short one wearing the cap is a first-year from Seishun Academy, named Echizen Ryoma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be fooled by him always using his right hand—he’s actually left-handed. Though short, he’s especially good at showing off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The spiky-haired one is Momoshiro Takeshi, a second-year from Seishun Academy, skilled in bullet serves and slam dunks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He has strong explosive power and insight, but his personality is quite impulsive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xing, already bewildered, froze completely upon hearing Shengzai’s revelations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just too absurd—not only did Shengzai know the names of Seishun Academy’s regulars, but he even knew their personalities and techniques in such detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she, Ju Xing, hadn’t known Shengzai since first grade and been in the same class ever since, she might even suspect he was a spy sent by Seishun Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are they Seishun’s doubles team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she didn’t know how Shengzai knew so much, as Fudoumine’s rivals in the regional tournament, Xiao Xing was still very curious about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doubles? No, no, no—they’re both strong singles players. Seishun’s doubles are weak, and their doubles pairing is downright terrible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They only seem strong now because their opponents here are all so weak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there really were even slightly stronger doubles players here, they’d get humiliated in no time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as soon as Shengzai finished speaking, a pair named Izumi and Fuchikawa stepped up as challengers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Izumi and Fuchikawa’s skill seemed ordinary to Shengzai, as a well-coordinated doubles pair, they quickly spotted the problems between Ryoma and Momoshiro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Ryoma and Momoshiro were thoroughly beaten—and mocked right to their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each of you is strong individually, but your doubles play is a complete mess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shengzai, did you get it wrong? Are they really Seishun’s regulars? If the top seed in the regional tournament is this weak, it’s incredibly disappointing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though deeply frustrated, they lost, and Ryoma and Momoshiro were about to leave—until a girl’s voice from the crowd stopped them in their tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai sighed and turned to look beside him; the culprit, Xiao Xing, grinned at him and stuck out her tongue cutely. “We finally ran into Seishun’s regulars here—don’t you want to play against them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could even gather some intel on them—or just check out their strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since learning Ryoma and Momoshiro were Seishun’s regulars, Xiao Xing had become interested in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the street tennis court’s rule was only one-set matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Izumi and Fuchikawa’s skill level was too low to push Seishun’s pair to their limits, so Xiao Xing had deliberately provoked them just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though we don’t know who you are, please take back what you just said.” — Momoshiro Takeshi\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bold words. Then how about a match?” — Echizen Ryoma\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding, Xiao Xing used Taunt on Seishun Academy first-year Echizen Ryoma and second-year Momoshiro Takeshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding, effect was outstanding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the ones present had been third-years from Seishun Academy, Xiao Xing’s provocation likely wouldn’t have worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the targets were first- and second-years, the effect could only be described as outstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shengzai’s silence, Ryoma and Momoshiro clearly grew annoyed—they were the ones who started the taunting, yet now the taunters refused to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you guys get it wrong? It was her who said you’re weak, not me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to prove yourselves, you should fight her—not me. I’m just a bystander, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two agitated boys, Shengzai was baffled—Xiao Xing was the one who started the provocation, so why were they targeting him? Was it because he looked stronger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting trouble, Shengzai was about to slip away—when the girl beside him suddenly grabbed his arm and said: “We’re from Fudoumine Middle School, and we’re also competitors in your regional tournament.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","63fa88e90abb82235b8bd1e0be4778f09c44abff466c79be0fa8852acc359e20","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-25","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-23",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
