The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 112: Demonization in Advance, Shitenhoji Gives Up (5K, -in- Chapter)
"Jiejiejie, Jiejiejiejiejie..."

Kirihara Akari, who was in the red-eyed state, also chuckled unconsciously, and his eyes were as ferocious as a wild beast as he surveyed the two people in Shitenhoji.

After his eyes wandered back and forth, Kirihara Akaya's gaze stopped on Oshitari Kenya.

He looked it up and down, as if he was looking at his prey and marking it for hunting.

"The game continues. Please let Ishida serve."

Seeing that there were no accidents among the players on the field, the referee announced that the game would continue.

Ishida Gin glanced at Kirihara Akaya who was ready to receive the ball. Although he did not understand the opponent's current situation, he still had to continue to implement the plan he had discussed with Kenya Oshitari before.

砰

It was still a powerful wave ball serve, and the orange light column like a qigong wave was thicker than the previous two balls.

Ishida Gin added more power to his serve than before.

The tennis ball quickly fell in front of Kirihara and bounced off the ground.

"Don't underestimate me, you baldy asshole."

Akame Kirihara gave a ferocious smile, and without hesitation, he faced the wave ball serve head-on with his double-headed racket.

咚

After the two collided, it was only a short moment before Kirihara Aka returned the seemingly extremely powerful tennis ball.

After the tennis ball was hit back, the speed of its return was not affected at all, but instead seemed to be even faster.

"His power suddenly increased?!"

After serving, Ishida Gin kept a close eye on Kirihara Akaya's condition. When the opponent returned the tennis ball immediately, he noticed something was wrong.

It seems that the other party's red eyes are like some special physical condition, and can even enhance the body's functions? !

Ishida Gin didn't dare to jump to conclusions, he needed more observation.

While he was still thinking, the tennis ball had already fallen to the half court of Shitenhoji Temple.

The tennis ball landed in the front court, which was also within Ken'ya Oshitari's defensive area.

He took two steps to catch up, and Ken'ya Oshitari's body was as agile as the wind. As the tennis ball bounced after hitting the ground, he was already in position right behind it.

After finding the right position to receive the ball, he swung his racket and it collided with the return ball.

砰

The moment of contact, Ken'ya Oshitari's expression suddenly changed.

"Good weight!"

He reacted very quickly and immediately used his other hand to grasp the handle of the racket and exert force.

After exerting force with both arms, after a few breaths of stalemate, Ken Oshitari hit the ball back, and the tennis ball flew back to Rikkai University's half of the court.

"This is not just a simple increase in strength, even the rotation above is different..."

The serious expression on Ken'ya Oshitari's face became more and more intense as he hit the tennis ball back.

bang, bang, bang...

Under the influence of Akame Kirihara, Shitenhoji's attack began to be difficult to carry out.

The frequency of both sides' shots gradually increased, and the pace of the game became more intense as time went by.

In just two or three minutes, the two sides had fought more than twenty rounds.

Kirihara Akaya intentionally or unintentionally hit the tennis ball towards Kenya Oshitari's position, which was noticed by the opponent during the confrontation.

To be honest, after Ken Oshitari was targeted, his performance was still affected.

Because every time Akame Kirihara hit the tennis ball back, it was basically a chase ball.

This forced Kenya Oshitari, who originally used his speed to chase the ball, to use his speed to guard against the opponent's "alternative" attacks.

But after all, this is a doubles match, and even though Ken Oshitari was a little embarrassed, it was still Gin Ishida who helped him share the burden.

砰

It was another return from Kirihara, and Kenya Oshima deliberately stood in the middle of the half court, waiting for the tennis ball to fly over.

Sure enough, even though Ken Oshitari had exposed several defensive loopholes, the tennis ball was still coming towards him quickly.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You were fooled so easily."

Kenya Oshitari smiled secretly, his body flashed to the side, leaving the place where he was originally standing empty.

And behind where he was originally standing, the figure of Ishida Gin appeared.

The two of them didn't even need to communicate with each other. With just a tacit look, they completed the cooperation against Kirihara.

"Hyado Ball, Type 35."

Ishida Gin made a move to hit the wave ball, and the next moment, the thick orange Qigong wave appeared again.

The target is directly aimed at Akame Kirihara, and the purpose is to replicate the previous behavior.

"Are you doing this again?"

Akame Kirihara looked at the incoming wave ball without showing any fear at all. He simply raised his racket and swung it head-on without fear.

"It's useless. The power of the thirty-fifth move is incomparable to the previous twenty-four moves. There's no way you can catch it."

Ishida Gin looked at Kirihara Akaya's actions and felt that he was stubborn.

However, the next moment, Ishida Gin's pupils shrank and his expression was surprised.

Kirihara Akaya, who had been knocked away by the Twenty-fourth Style before, faced the even more powerful Thirty-fifth Style Wave Ball head-on, and the situation was completely different.

The tennis ball hit Kirihara's racket and spun wildly, trying to move forward, but it couldn't go any further.

Instead, after a few moments of stalemate, he was directly beaten back by Kirihara.

The tennis ball was hit back, tore through the air and returned to Shitenhoji's half of the court with a sound of breaking through the air, flying towards Ishida Gin.

Ishida Gin frowned, he understood that this was a provocation.

"As expected of a Rikkai University player, he can't be defeated so easily. So..."

Ishida Gin's tone paused, his temperament changed, and his eyes widened like an angry King Kong.

"Hyado Ball, Forty-sixth Style!"

Kirihara Akaya's behavior is equivalent to challenging the power limit of his wave ball.

In this case, Ishida Gin will let the other party learn a lesson.

thump—

A beam of Qigong light that was several times thicker than the previous one, carrying even more astonishing momentum, strength and impact, was approaching Kirihara Akaya directly.

Obviously, this so-called forty-sixth form is more powerful than the previous thirty-five forms.

"Come on, let me see how long you can handle it."

Ishida Gin would not compare other techniques, but he has unique confidence in the Hado Ball.

No one knows the wave ball better than him.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Looking at the wave ball flying towards him, Kirihara Akaya let out a strange laugh, his expression showing no fear at all.

He gripped the racket tightly with both hands and swung it down as carefree as before.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

There is no doubt that this ball was more powerful than the previous one, and Kirihara Akaya was not as relaxed after receiving it as the previous one.

The tennis ball came to rest on the face of his racket, and the friction sound of its high-speed rotation could even be heard faintly by the audience outside the court.

The tennis ball wanted to break through the obstacle and continue forward, but after a moment of stalemate, Kirihara Akaya stabilized his body, swung his arms suddenly and hit the ball back.

嗖

The tennis ball whizzed through the net and instantly changed its route to come in front of Ken'ya Oshige.

"what?!"

Ken Oshitari was also startled, but he reacted quickly and hastily used one arm to block the return ball.

Snapped

The tennis ball was blocked, but Ken'ichi Oshitari's racket also flew out of his hand.

"Rikkai University scores, the score is 30 to 15."

As Ken'ya Oshitari made a mistake in catching the ball, the referee announced that Rikkai University scored.

The two people from Shitenhoji never imagined that Kirihara Akaya's attitude of fighting Ishida Gin to the end was a feint.

This sudden change of target to attack Ken'ya Oshitari made them realize that their judgment was completely confused by the opponent's actions.

"He seems to have lost his mind, but he can actually set up an ambush calmly..."

Ishida Gin frowned again, feeling that Kirihara Akaya was more troublesome than he had imagined.

After a short break, serve again and the third game continues.

Kirihara in red-eyed state, with Yanagi Renji's backcourt support, is several times more offensive than before.

Even after removing the burden, Kenya Oshida and Gin Ishida could feel that the pressure brought by leading the opponent was not comparable to that in the first two games.

30 is better than 30
30 is better than 40
40 is better than 40
……

The score is very close.

Although Rikkai University had a slight advantage on the field, the strength and speed combination of Shitenhoji was also extraordinary. While resisting the attack, they were able to decisively seize every opportunity to counterattack and score.

However, Ken Oshitari also felt a little uncomfortable.

With the unexpected cooperation of Yanagi Renji, Kirihara Akaya forced Oshitari Kenya into dangerous situations several times.

And at this moment, Kirihara Akaya took decisive action, he saw a good opportunity.

"Give it to me, fall down!"

Bang! It was a high-speed return ball, and it happened to catch Kenya Oshitari just after he had barely returned the ball from Yanagi Renji, when his body's center of gravity had not yet stabilized and the old strength had been exhausted but the new strength had not yet arrived.

"Oops!"

Kenya Oshitari's eyes widened. This time, he really couldn't avoid the opponent's attack.

At the critical moment, he heard a push from behind, which forced Kenye Oshitari's body to the side.

"Hyado Ball, 108 Styles!"

At the critical moment, Ishida Gin rushed from the backcourt in advance, pushed Ken Oshitari away and prevented him from being hit by the tennis ball.

At the same time, Ishida Gin swung his racket and hit the tennis ball back with great force.

Suddenly, a giant beam of orange light came towards Kirihara Akaya.

"Nani!!"

Kirihara Akaya hurriedly held the racket horizontally in front of his body to block the incoming return ball.

However, the next second, without any hindrance at all, the orange beam of light penetrated the racket and directly hit Kirihara's body.

"Uh-"

After being hit, Kirihara Akari was sent flying backwards into the air, hitting his head on the barrier outside the court, and then slowly slid to the ground, seemingly losing his voice.

"Game, Shitenhoji scores, the score is 1 to 2."

Ishida Gin didn't care about the referee's score, but walked up to Kenya Oshige and pulled him up from the ground.

"Are you okay, Oshitari?" Ishida Gin glanced at the other person to see if there were any wounds.

"I'm fine, thank you for what I said."

Ken Oshitari also shook his head. The push from Gin Ishida just now was not very strong. He fell to the ground after being pushed away without suffering any injuries. However, the other side...

Ken Oshitari also turned his head to look at Rikkai University's half of the court. Ishida Gin looked at his actions and also shifted his gaze over there.

"Just now I failed to control the power, so I used all my strength to hit the wave ball. I'm afraid that guy has no chance to compete."

Ishida Gin spoke in a calm tone. He was not complacent about his previous behavior. He just thought that he should not have suddenly used the 108 styles.

Yanagi Renji turned around and looked at Kirihara who was lying on the ground silently not far away. He opened his eyes slightly and seemed to be thinking about something.

From behind him, Ishida Gin's voice came. Yanagi Renji turned his head and saw that the other party put his hands together and said sincerely:
"Your teammate can no longer continue the game. To avoid any sequelae, please take him to a nearby hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

After Ishida Gin finished speaking, the referee beside him also explained: "If Kirihara still cannot stand up, it will be considered that he cannot continue the game. If this is the case, we can only declare Rikkai University's second doubles team to forfeit."

Yanagi Renji nodded and was about to speak when he found that the two people from Shitenhoji Temple opposite were looking behind him with incredible eyes.

"Hey, I haven't fallen down yet, hehehe——"

Yanagi Renji looked behind him and saw Kirihara Akaya, whose arms, face and thighs were all scratched and whose nose was bleeding. He had slowly stood up without him noticing.

At the same time, a faint white steam emanated from his body.

The originally fair skin gradually began to turn red until it became a devilish deep red complexion.

Not only did the skin color change, but even the originally black hair turned silver-white after a few breaths.

"what is that?!"

The changes that took place in Kirihara Akaya not only shocked the people at Shitenhoji, but also the entire Rikkai University team.

Even Yuuki Maya was a little surprised. He didn't expect that at this point in time, Kirihara Akaya would actually appear in the demonic form that would only appear later.

Could it be that it was because he had been taught a lesson so badly after playing against him in practice matches in the previous month, and the mental pressure was too great?

Maya Yuuki didn't dare to make a conclusion at will, but what was certain was that Ishida Gin's 108-style wave ball attack was the last straw that led Kirihara to become a demon.

"Hehe, haha, hahahahaha..."

After laughing out loud as if to vent, Demon Kirihara turned his gaze towards the half of Shitenhoji.

He said to them arrogantly: "In the next game, I will tear you all to pieces."

"Referee, please announce that the game will continue quickly. I can't wait any longer, hehe..."

The referee looked at Kirihara Akaya's appearance and broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason. He immediately announced that the game would continue.

After the two sides exchanged venues, Yanagi Renji looked at Kirihara calmly and walked to the baseline to prepare for serving.

"The fourth game will begin now. Rikkai University will serve."

As the referee's voice fell, Yanagi Renji simply tossed the tennis ball up and drew his racket, hitting an ordinary high-speed serve.

The tennis ball flew quickly through the air and landed on Shitenhoji's half of the court in the blink of an eye.

Kenye Oshitari received the ball and hit the tennis ball back immediately. He aimed at the front court on the opposite right half of the court, where no one from Rikkai University had reached their position in time.

But in just a blink of an eye, a yellowish figure suddenly appeared right behind the tennis ball before it hit the ground.

"So fast!"

Kenji Oshige raised his eyebrows. Kirihara Akaya's burst of speed even surprised him, who was known for his speed.

"Give it to me, dye it red!"

砰

The return ball came bursting back and hit Ken'ya Oshitari in the face almost instantly.

"Uh!"

The tennis ball hit Ken'ya Oshitari hard, and the latter staggered back a few steps, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The tennis ball that hit his head bounced off and landed out of bounds.

"Endure enough!"

When Ishida Gin saw that Oshige Ken was also hit, he immediately ran over to check the situation.

With the help of Ishida Gin, Kenye Oshida climbed up with difficulty. He covered his forehead with one hand and looked a little painful.

"How are you?"

"It's okay, I just felt a little dizzy after being hit on the forehead."

Kenji Oshige shook his head and gently rubbed the place where he was hit a few times. After confirming that he had no wounds, he put down his hand that was covering his body.

"Be careful, there's something very wrong with that guy opposite." Ishida Gin warned carefully.

Kenji Oshige nodded to show that he understood.

The two players separated and took their positions, waiting for the other side to serve next time.

But obviously, for Kenya Oshitari, the nightmare has just begun.

砰

30 is better than 0
砰

40 is better than 0
砰

40 is better than 15
...

"Game, Rikkai University is leading, score 3 to 1."

bang
In the Shitenhoji half, Kenya Oshitari fell to the ground, covering his knees.

“Ahahaha, that’s all? I haven’t even used my full strength yet.”

In front of the net, the devil Kirihara looked at Kenya Oshige who was lying on the ground and spoke arrogantly and sneered.

Kenye Oshitari gritted his teeth and tried to stand up with one hand, but the pain in his limbs made it difficult for him to get up on his own, and the arm that was supporting the ground kept shaking.

In the previous batting exchange, Kirihara Akaya's chasing ball became too fast, and his control of timing and angle became more tricky, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

Right forearm, left knee, right shin bone, left shoulder...

Ken Oshitari was also hit hard from all sides by the opponent, while Gin Ishida could only watch and was powerless to help.

"Oshita, how about we..." Ishida Gin half-knelt beside Oshita Kenya and spoke hesitantly.

"No, if we give up this time, then Shitenboji will be——"

Ken Oshitari also disagreed with Ishida Gin's plan. Once they gave up, Shitenhoji would lose two games in a row, which would be equivalent to handing the championship to Rikkai University.

"Referee, we forfeit."

A voice from the coaching booth of Shitenhoji interrupted the conversation between Ken'ya Oshitari and Gin Ishida.

"Coach! I—"

"Okay, Oshitari, stop talking and listen to me." Watanabe Osamu interrupted Oshitari Kenye with a serious look and said to the referee solemnly: "Referee, we forfeit this game."

After receiving Watanabe Osamu's affirmative response, the referee announced the result of the match loudly.

"Since Shitenhoji chose to forfeit, Rikkai University won this match."

As he finished speaking, the victory icon on the scoreboard marking the Rikkai University side lit up.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be a coward." Kirihara Akaya licked his tongue and said sarcastically.

However, just as he was about to make the next move, a calm voice was heard from the preparation area of ​​Rikkai University.

"Alright Kirihara, let's stop here."

Kirihara Akaya turned around when he heard the voice, and his red eyes met a pair of calm eyes.

It was Yuuki Maya who stood up and said this.

"Forehead……"

When Kirihara Akaya turned around, he instinctively wanted to attack, but when he realized that it was Yuuki Maya who was speaking, the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

"I understand, Yuki-senpai..." Kirihara immediately restrained his arrogant expression and nodded like an obedient sheep.

Afterwards, Kirihara's red skin gradually faded away and returned to its fair color, and his silver-white hair began to turn black.

With just one word from Yuuki Maya, Kirihara Akaya came out of his demonic state.

This scene was particularly shocking to everyone in the Shi Tian Bao Temple.

It was really eye-opening for them that such a cruel player was scolded like an obedient and sensible junior by just a few words from the senior students on the team.
