Am I Really Cut Out to Play Tennis When I'm This Weak?

[Blurb]

This is a world conquered by tennis.

In this unscientific world where tennis players unleash otherworldly powers, Yokohama's supernatural abilities seem a lot more normal.

So said Kawasawa Ranpo, who had seen through the true nature of the world.

At the urging of his older brother, the famous detective with the same given name but a different surname, and with the full support of the detective agency, led by his adoptive father, Kawasawa Ranpo was sent off with a schoolbag on his back. Staring at the school called Rikkai Dai Junior High, he fell silent.

I'm so weak in a fight. If I play tennis, won't I get beaten to death first?

On his first day at the club, during a test of his tennis skills, Kawasawa Ranpo hit an ordinary serve.

The pale yellow ball punched through the wire fence and slammed into the wall.

The upperclassmen stared in silence at the wall, which was badly cracked and nearly ruined.

And this is what you call weak??

Faced with the silence, Kawasawa Ranpo remembered his adoptive father Fukuzawa's repeated warnings and managed a reluctant apology. "Sorry. It's my first time playing tennis, and I'm still too weak. I couldn't control my strength. I'll pay for the damage."

Kawasawa Ranpo, who learned swordsmanship from his adoptive father, was taught gun-fu firsthand by Oda Sakunosuke, gets crushed every day by the top fighters of the Armed Detective Agency, and genuinely thinks he's weak, blinked innocently.

Watching his younger brother go from the hell of being outclassed in hand-to-hand combat to another hell with a brutal training regimen, the world's greatest detective sighed. "Poor little Ranpo. But the agency can't have a third brainiac who's physically useless. Big brother will comfort you with a strawberry daifuku."

The older Ranpo, who was supposed to be training in hand-to-hand combat, gloated.

Kawasawa Ranpo: (sincere and expressionless) I'm really bad at tennis. I'm worried I'll lose control of my strength and accidentally kill someone... We can ask Yosano! (His catlike eyes sparkle) (Suddenly realizes)

The Armed Detective Agency's doctor: Hmm? A patient who doesn't take care of their health? Where are they? (Grabs a cleaver.jpg)

Opponents: Don't come near me! (Terrified)

Notes:

1. "Nioh on his second go-around": Not a complete second go-around. He only has memories of the Prince of Tennis manga, so he knows the original story centered on Echizen. (The fox has become a prophet.jpg)

2. "Tanejima, Irie, and the Rikkai Dai upperclassmen": ...Well, I had an idea., Everyone at U-17: Are all the white-haired guys from Rikkai Dai this overpowered?!, Refers to Kawasawa, Nioh, and Tanejima. (It's fun, right? I want to see it.)

▏Readers who care about canon details, beware!! The plot has been heavily changed, with loads of original settings!!

▏Don't argue with me about whether the plot makes sense. This is fanfiction, fanfiction that I wrote. This book has only one goal: "Rikkai Dai overwhelming everyone with a dimensional advantage." I want to write a satisfying power fantasy, (very loudly), so I won't listen if you tell me to change the plot!! That's a basic principle and bottom line for me as a writer.

▏Poor writing, OOC, irregular updates, irregular updates, irregular updates (in capital letters). Read with caution!!!

Theme: Rikkai Dai, victory after victory is their destiny!
