The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 223: The trump card that was forced to be revealed,

"The second set of the game will begin now. Please take the court."

The break time passed quickly, and five minutes later the referee's urging voice sounded.

After receiving the notification, the players on both sides immediately adjusted their status and returned to the court.

The second set of the game begins immediately.

"Tanejima-senpai, you don't look very well."

Before Shuji Tanejima served, Maya Yuuki noticed the change in his expression and joked.

The latter's face darkened when he heard this.

During the rest period just now, Shuji Tanejima discovered the problem after reviewing his first game.

But precisely because it was clear, he couldn't understand it even more.

Last year, he only barely beat his junior high school student with his weird skills and exaggerated abilities, but this year he was able to suppress him with his basic skills.

My scalp tingles just thinking about it. The other person's growth rate is completely inconsistent with the normal development curve.

Shaking his head to get rid of all distracting thoughts, Shuji Tanejima knew that it was useless to think about these things now and he needed to deal with the game first.

砰

He slammed the tennis ball with all his strength, and Shuji Tanejima's serve was very simple and unpretentious.

This is related to his lack of attention to serving, and of course he himself has no talent for serving.

The tennis ball passed through the net, and Yuuki Maya instantly judged the ball's path, turned the angle of the racket in advance, and then shot the ball.

The speed of the returned tennis ball suddenly soared, and the transition from static to dynamic happened in just a moment.

Tanejima Shuji, who was at the baseline, reacted promptly and caught up with the tennis ball before it hit the ground.

The first game of the second set started, and the two sides began a tug-of-war again.

The confrontation was even more intense than the first set. For Shuji Tanejima, he absolutely could not lose this set, so he would fight for every point with all his might.

The same is true for Maya Yuuki. What he wants is to win two games in a row and end the match.

砰

"0 to 15"

砰

"15 to 15"

砰

"30 to 15"

……

"Game, Zhongdao scored, the score is 1 to 0."

The loss in the first set seemed to stimulate Shuji Tanejima, and the competitive state he displayed in the second set was far better than before.

It seemed as if he had forgotten his previous concerns and he was extremely focused on every ball.

The two sides exchanged courts, and Maya Yuuki served the tennis ball calmly.

Black and white arrows of light fell like flowers scattered from the sky, and multiple blue arrows of destruction were launched again.

The number has doubled compared to a year ago, and the speed is also faster than before. He has become so proficient in this move that he can use it with ease.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome."

Seeing the light arrow falling around him at a speed almost as fast as Mach's serve, Shuji Tanejima felt his scalp tingling.

Based on his experience from the last time he cracked the code, he instinctively swung the racket towards one of the light arrows.

As the racket came into contact with the light arrow, the black and white light arrow suddenly shattered and dissipated, and Shuji Tanejima missed the racket.

"Yuuki scores, the score is 15-0."

After the referee announced the score, there was a commotion outside the court.

"What an amazing ball speed, Ochi, how does this speed compare to your Mach serve?"

Maori Jusaburo exclaimed and asked his partner.

“It’s not a big difference, but it’s tricky.”

Yuezhi Yueguang replied coldly. Although his tone was flat and brief, his words gave a high evaluation of this serve. The expressions of several other high school students in the first army camp were also very solemn, not only because of Yuezhi's answer, but also because after they switched to Tanejima's position, they found that they could not deal with this serve for a while.

As for the junior high school students of the second team, they have been completely numbed by the endless basketball skills of Yuuki Maya.

Seeing this now, they realized even more how ridiculous their previous idea of ​​defeating each other seemed now.

"Game, Yuuki scores, the score is 2-1."

Ten minutes later, relying on multiple Blue Annihilation Arrows, Yuuki Maya quickly won two games and overtook the score.

call out.

It was Yuuki's serve game again, and he started with his head full of black and white light arrows.

But this time, Shuji Tanejima's reaction was as quick as if he had predicted it, and he decisively aimed at the arrow of light that bounced up from the side and swung his racket down.

The light arrow hit the racket, and a tennis ball suddenly appeared on the racket surface.

At the same time, the rest of the light arrows shattered in an instant.

"I finally got used to it. It was really not easy to catch this ball."

Shuji Tanejima, who intercepted the tennis ball, raised the corners of his mouth for the first time in a long time.

After observing for two rounds, he finally cracked his opponent's move again.

Among them, the previous experience also played a key role.

After intercepting this ball, the situation of the game gradually returned to a tie.

The balance returns to the starting point again.

However, this is only temporary, because the alternating rise in the scores is not what Shuji Tanejima wants to see.

Although Yuuki Maya is leading by one point at the moment, there is no guarantee that the opponent may have other moves hidden.

If he doesn't break this balance, once the opponent pulls away from him by two points, he won't even be able to enter a tiebreak.

"This is really difficult... We can't put it off any longer."

In the fierce confrontation, Shuji Tanejima made a decision.

He rushed to the point where the tennis ball landed again, then stretched out his racket with his backhand to block the path of the tennis ball.

The ripples spread and hit the racket, removing most of the force and rotation from the tennis ball.

The tennis ball turned into nothingness and leaped over the net at an extremely low angle, falling rapidly.

"Sneak attacks are not a good habit, Senior."

Maya Yuuki took a step forward and came to the net like a ghost. He glanced at Shuji Tanejima who had not yet returned to defense, turned the racket and gently hit the ball with his backhand. He did not choose to hit the diagonal shot, but deliberately let go of a small ball.

It seemed that he did not expect the ball he carefully planned to be hit back, and Shuji Tanejima's steps were a little hurried.

When he chased to the net, he had missed the right time to return the ball.

He was forced to make a diving move and pick up the tennis ball that was about to fall to the ground, hitting a high lob.

Seeing this, Yuuki Maya naturally would not miss this opportunity. She quickly retreated a few steps and came to the right position.

Bend your knees and jump up, preparing to hit a smash to score.

However, when he jumped into the air, he immediately realized something was wrong.

According to his calculations, the tennis ball should have fallen to the height of his jump by then.

But at this moment, when he actually jumped up, as his body was pulled down by gravity, the tennis ball still did not fall to the position he expected.

The duration of this lob ball's stay in the air was extremely abnormal.

tread.

When her feet touched the ground, Maya Yuuki landed first, and at the same time, the tennis ball just landed on the white line of the baseline and then bounced out of bounds.

"Game, Zhongdao scored, the score is 3 to 3."

After seeing that he had scored this goal, Shuji Tanejima slowly got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

After destroying the Nothingness, in order to tie the score, he finally had to take out the second kind of Nothingness [Unborn Nothingness] that he had hidden.

The pressure that Yuuki Maya brought to him was really too great.
