Tennis: I Bet 100,000 and Max Out My Ball Control Talent!

Dazai Osamu is reborn in the Prince of Tennis world as the sole heir to the Dazai conglomerate. From the start, he smashes Akutsu into the ground with "Sunfall" on a street court, leaving smoke rising from the cracked edges of the court. Three days later, at the Kakinozaka Elementary School Tournament, Sanada Genichiro's "As Fast as the Wind" is countered on the spot. Yukimura Seiichi enters the Zone, but one move from Dazai Osamu, "Silent Rain," keeps him from even touching the ball. After the match, Akutsu stops him in the corridor: "I want to get stronger. I want to join St. Night."

The two walk out of the court together and run into a brown-haired boy in gold-rimmed glasses at the entrance. Tezuka Kunimitsu blocks their way. "Will you play a match with me?" Dazai Osamu takes the racket. "Let's do it." Tezuka activates the Limit of a Hundred Refinements, and his Zero-Shiki Slice skims along the ground. Dazai Osamu hits back with the same Zero-Shiki Slice. The ball lands and doesn't bounce either. Tezuka stands frozen. "How can you do that too...?" Dazai Osamu rests his racket on his shoulder:

"St. Night Academy is recruiting. The tennis club needs a vice-captain. Are you in?"
