The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 212 "Your perfection is great"

The strong attitude displayed by Yuki Maya made Echizen Ryoma show a look of fear for the first time.

He broke through his limits time and time again, but when facing Yuki, he was still like a gnat trying to shake a tree.

Despite all our efforts, the situation did not change at all.

The two sides on the field were facing each other. Maya Yuuki remained calm and composed as always from the beginning of the game to now.

On the other hand, Ryoma Echizen had exhausted a lot of his physical strength after using a large number of complicated and varied ball skills. At this moment, he was already panting and sweating profusely.

An expression of unwillingness to admit defeat appeared on Ryoma Echizen's face. He gripped the racket tightly again, and the star-shaped light covered his head again.

However, after just one glance, Echizen Ryoma's body froze there.

"Why don't you serve? Or... have you already predicted that you will lose in the future?" Yuuki Maya said lightly.

Cold sweat rolled down Ryoma Echizen's face because with the blessing of his brilliant talent, he could not see any formula for winning.

"Don't you understand yet, Echizen Ryoma—"

"Whether it's the world of ice, moving like thunder, or the state of no self, everything you learned from those people is useless to me."

"Because they themselves were defeated by me, and now it's just you who's in charge, what difference does it make?"

As if stating a fact, Yuuki Maya's cold tone was like the devil's whisper, gradually undermining Echizen Ryoma's faith.

huh, huh, huh...

The invisible mental pressure made Echizen Ryoma breathe rapidly, and his body was shaking a little, like a candle in the wind.

There was a rare moment of silence, and Ryoma Echizen threw the tennis ball without saying a word.

boom……

0 is better than 30
boom……

0 is better than 40
boom……

"Game, Yuuki is leading, the score is 5-0."

The fifth game ended quickly and the two sides began to exchange venues.

Ryoma Echizen dragged his heavy steps towards the venue, his eyes were a little out of focus, and his once confident expression had long since disappeared.

When Echizen Ryoma stopped and stood on the exchanged field, some memories flashed through his mind one by one like a passing show.

As if a layer of mist covered his pupils, the figure of his father when he was young appeared before him again like a projection.

The scene is in a private estate.

[You are quite tenacious, Ryoma! ]

The young-looking Echizen Nanjiro lowered his racket and praised with an expression full of fatherly love.

[It’s still very early…]

Opposite Echizen Nanjiro, the only-year-old "Echizen Ryoma" refused to admit defeat even when his racket slipped out of his hand.

Without any pause, the scene changed again, and Echizen Ryoma found himself on the baseball field under the Shinkansen.

[Echizen, you must become the pillar of Seigaku. ]

In the reflection of the setting sun, beneath Tezuka Kunimitsu's cold expression was a gaze full of hope.

……

One picture after another was played like a slide show, until the final projection disappeared, the mist in Ryoma Echizen's pupils dissipated, and he returned to reality.

And at this moment, Yuuki Maya's serve also came.

15 is better than 0
When Ryoma Echizen came to his senses, the tennis ball had quietly rolled to his feet.

He subconsciously bent down and stretched out his hand, but the process of picking up the ball felt so long to him.

Closing his eyes in pain, Ryoma Echizen had never felt so helpless.

I'm going to lose...

But I was so unwilling to lose... Why was it so painful? Was playing tennis such a painful thing...

After losing, will I start to hate tennis?

At this moment, the voice of a middle-aged man that Echizen Ryoma was familiar with came from the bottom of his heart.

[Hey, Ryoma... Do you think tennis is fun? ]

This is? !
Suddenly opening his eyes, Echizen Ryoma realized the true meaning of this sentence at this moment.

He smiled, an innocent smile that came from the heart without any complicated emotions.

"Dad, playing tennis... is really fun!"

Without any signs, a dazzling light gushed out from Ryoma Echizen's body. The shining white light mixed with colorful spots of light instantly lit up the entire venue.

"Ryoma, you finally..."

Nanjiro Echizen, who had just arrived at the venue, happened to see this scene at this moment. The light shone on his face, and Nanjiro Echizen showed a relieved expression.

"That's... Echizen also opened the third door of selflessness at this time!"

There was a commotion in Seigaku's preparation area, and Echizen Ryoma's sudden change amazed Fuji and others.

"Tezuka, I didn't expect Echizen could be so perfect. Is there still a chance of winning this match?" Inui Sadaharu asked hurriedly.

As a new user of Perfect, Kunimitsu Tezuka knows better than anyone how powerful Echizen is now.

However, they were expecting some encouraging words from Tezuka, but what they got was Tezuka's hesitant expression as he did not answer.

"Tezuka, what are you still worried about?" Fuji Shusuke asked, observing the expression on his face. He could keenly see the worry in Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and Tezuka was actually feeling uneasy.

[After you open the last door of Wuwo, we will fight again. ]

The words that Yuuki Maya said a year ago once again echoed in Tezuka's mind.

Then, he thought about the time when he suddenly couldn't use his talent in the game. Could it be...

A terrible thought flashed through Tezuka's mind, but facing the eager eyes of the Qingxue people in front of him, he couldn't say it out loud, and could only reply: "Keep watching."

Although Tezuka's behavior of avoiding the topic was a bit suspicious, the other members of Seigaku could only turn their attention back to the court.

The dazzling light gradually faded, and at this moment Echizen Ryoma's hairstyle stood up all the way into the sky like a Super Saiyan.

"Senior, do you find playing tennis fun?" asked Ryoma Echizen as if to chat.

Hearing this familiar opening sentence, Yuuki Maya almost couldn't hold back the urge to laugh.

Echizen Ryoma, you are not as good as Uzumaki Naruto when it comes to talking.

"I don't know whether playing tennis is fun or not, but as long as I can beat my opponent, I will be happy."

After giving a mysterious smile, Yuuki Maya raised her arm and pointed her palm at Ryoma Echizen in the face of his puzzled look.

A circular badge pattern appeared from the palm of his hand, and then a black vortex appeared out of thin air.

"What is that?! Echizen, turn off Muga!!"

When several third-year students of Qingxue saw this familiar scene, they immediately shouted in horror.

However, it was too late. While Echizen Ryoma was in a daze, he only felt a domineering pulling force sweeping through his body.

Then, all the light around him was sucked away by the black vortex in just one breath.

Suddenly, a feeling of emptiness surged into Ryoma Echizen's body. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted in time and used his racket to push against the ground, allowing him to stabilize his body.

Then, while Ryoma Echizen was looking at him with an incomprehensible expression, opposite him, Maya Yuuki's whole body was emitting the same brilliant light as before.

Seeing the other party's astonished expression, Yuuki Maya smiled slightly and said, "Your perfection is great, but it's a pity——"

"Now, it's mine."
