"Mm."
Songgang Rin nodded faintly, not really paying attention to Yuno's expression.
He just walked straight to the training room.
The lights came on, making the training room extremely bright.
It was called a training room, but it was actually an entire floor.
It covered an area of about four to five hundred square meters, very spacious.
Therefore, all the necessary facilities were present, and all of them were top-tier.
This was just one of the Courts in Songgang Rin's home, and he preferred to train here in his daily life.
Near the Court was an extremely spacious swimming pool with cool water.
Songgang Rin couldn't resist jumping in for a swim, and after getting out, he turned on the ball machine.
The ball machine started, and tennis balls burst out one after another.
Songgang Rin instantly drew his racket, his gaze fixed on the tennis ball.
"Thump thump!"
His footwork was like an arrow released from a bowstring.
Then,
With his gaze locked on a certain direction, his racket immediately swung, leaving afterimages in the air.
"Bang!"
The tennis ball was instantly struck back, quickly landing.
And…
One ball, two balls, three balls…
A full ten balls!
Songgang Rin's speed didn't drop in the slightest!
"Speed… 190km/h!"
"It can still be improved!"
Songgang Rin frowned slightly, glancing at the speed display on the ball machine.
But at this moment, if anyone were present, they would likely be incredibly shocked.
Ten consecutive balls, each with a speed of around 190km/h!
And Songgang Rin returned every single one.
Furthermore—
The most astonishing thing was that his movements, breathing, and rhythm showed no disorder whatsoever!!
From beginning to end, he kept everything under his own rhythm.
Normal middle school students, when performing continuous returns, would more or less have subtle errors between each ball.
However, Songgang Rin had no such error at all!
Not even the slightest bit!!
This meant… he possessed an extremely sensitive, no, even sharp—Ball Sense!
Each training and test was conducted in this manner.
Two hours later.
"Hoo… Is this the current data?"
Songgang Rin glanced at the five-dimensional data calculated by the final instrument.
Five dimensions: Speed: 3.2, Power: 3.1, Stamina: 2.9, Mental Strength: 7, Technique: 5.5.
A total of 21.7 in five-dimensional data!
This was an extremely astonishing figure!
Because at this moment, Songgang Rin was only 12 years old!
And his five-dimensional speed was already close to exceeding the limit for middle school students!
—Yet he was still in a period of rapid development!
Among these, the most special was undoubtedly the Mental Strength dimension.
Because, with the age and physique of a middle school student, it was impossible to break through a Mental Strength of 7.
In fact, even among high school students, players who could reach 6 points in Mental Strength were few and far between.
Yet now, Songgang Rin's Mental Strength was as high as 7 points.
Besides the 7 points in Mental Strength, his Technique, at a high 5.5, was also extremely astonishing, because reaching 5.5 in Technique meant that the application of basic tennis skills was as natural as breathing for Songgang Rin.
"It can still be improved."
Songgang Rin evaluated himself in his mind.
"And Mental Strength, compared to two months ago, has increased by nearly 0.5 points, and both Speed and Stamina have also improved."
Songgang Rin recalled his previous data.
Perhaps due to his innate talent, he was extremely gifted in sports in this life, especially prominent in Mental Strength.
In short, his Mental Strength was very high, and it had been continuously improving.
In addition…
He seemed to have an innate perception for tennis.
This perception was also named by Echizen Nanjiro as—Absolute Ball Sense!!
Yes, Absolute Ball Sense!
Just as Absolute Pitch is to music's absolute sensitivity.
Songgang Rin also possessed a similar ability, even more dominant and absolute.
An absolutely precise perception of the tennis ball's shape, size, weight, elasticity, power, hardness, and its movement in space…
Songgang Rin had an absolute perception of all of this!
Others needed years of training and experience to master all of this, yet… Songgang Rin didn't need it; he naturally possessed it all.
For tennis techniques, he could quickly replicate them after just one glance, and then apply them to other situations.
This was also one of the reasons why Echizen Nanjiro was so astonished by him, eventually coming to his house to take him away and teach him tennis.
And Songgang Rin did not disappoint.
In less than a year, he had already surpassed others.
Yes, less than a year!
As of now, Songgang Rin had been exposed to tennis for less than a year!
After all, at first, he wasn't really interested in tennis; he only officially started playing after awakening some memories and meeting a certain friend.
But no matter what he did, he disliked doing things half-heartedly or carelessly, so even though his talent was already exceptional, Songgang Rin never relaxed his training, always training for at least two hours after returning home every day.
"Ding ding ding…"
As he pondered, his phone, placed nearby, kept ringing, pulling Songgang Rin back from his thoughts.
A moment later.
"It's about time to rest… Tomorrow, I'm going to Hyotei!"
Songgang Rin sighed helplessly, "Keigo, that guy…"
Originally, he had planned to go to Hyotei a bit later.
But perhaps because Keigo was worried he might run off again if he wasn't careful.
So Atobe Keigo had already contacted him countless times within these short two hours.
This left Songgang Rin a bit speechless; since he had agreed, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word, just as he had agreed to Echizen Nanjiro that he would join Seigaku.
Furthermore, with a grand declaration, he was already the Vice Captain of Hyotei.
"Oh well… Anyway, I've decided to go to Hyotei."
Songgang Rin muttered to himself, "Tomorrow, those people will probably still be a bit unhappy, right?"
It's quite normal for an airborne Vice Captain to cause dissatisfaction among many people, isn't it?
Songgang Rin knew very well that even if he was Atobe Keigo's friend, being parachuted into the Hyotei Tennis Club, and directly becoming the Vice Captain, would still cause some dissatisfaction and backlash from certain individuals.
He actually didn't see any problem with this dissatisfaction and backlash.
Because it was too normal!
Any ambitious team would be like this.
Moreover, Hyotei was rated as one of the teams closest to the national championship this year.
But…
Songgang Rin wasn't particularly concerned about it.
The people at Seigaku were even more displeased when he wanted to become a first-year regular.
But in the end, he still became that first-year regular.
In fact, if he had wanted to, Ryuzaki Sumire had even promised him that the position of Seigaku Captain would be his after Yuta Yamato graduated.
However, before that, a conflict erupted between Songgang Rin and Ryuzaki Sumire, leading him to leave Seigaku.
"We'll see then."
Songgang Rin casually wiped the sweat from his body and sent a reply to Atobe Keigo, confirming he would arrive on time tomorrow morning.
After doing all this, and a quick wash, Songgang Rin immediately fell into a deep sleep.
During this period of rapid growth, maintaining sufficient sleep was also a way to promote growth.
