The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 253: Mahek Defeats the Enemy
Retracting his gaze from the other side, Yuuki Maya looked at the other six people around him and said in a rather formulaic tone: "This first battle will have a great impact on the morale of the rest of the battle, so we have a great responsibility."

As the tacitly acknowledged captain of Team Matsu by the other members, Yuuki Maya rarely took the initiative to speak up and encourage her teammates.

"Okay, we know you're not good at this. No need to say too much. We all know it."

Beside him, Shuji Tanejima held the back of his head with his hands, looking relaxed and at ease, as if he didn't care about the game at all.

"If we can't win even with Yuuki-senpai here, then we can really go home early."

Kirihara Akaya smiled with great relief, the strength of his senior was his confidence.

"Kirihara, you can't be careless. After all, the team on the other side is one of the top ten in the world. If you're not careful, you'll end up in a disaster."

Although Yuki knew that they would definitely win this game, he still gave his instructions in a very serious tone.

You can be confident, but you must never be conceited.

"How about we lose this game and put pressure on the other two teams?"

Shuji Tanejima now made another extremely outrageous suggestion, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was joking and trying to liven up the atmosphere.

"Senior Tanejima, this is not good..."

Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who always plays a very serious game, now held his forehead with his hand, looking somewhat speechless.

He has a serious personality, so he feels like he can't fit in with other people's unconventional way of talking.

"It's about to begin."

Just as the others were about to continue talking about relaxing things, Ochi Moonlight, who had been quiet on the side, suddenly interrupted their chat and reminded them in a somewhat cold tone.

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped smiling and their eyes became stern.

Then, the referee's voice came from the center of the court: "The second doubles match will begin now. Both players are invited to enter the court."

As the referee's voice fell, the originally noisy noise in the entire venue gradually subsided.

At this moment, all the spectators' attention shifted to the stadium.

"Senior Ochi, let's win the first match."

"Um……"

Shiraishi Kuranosuke stood up with his racket in his hand with a gentle smile, and beside him, the tall Ochi Gekkou stood there silently.

Afterwards, the two calmly walked into the stadium.

Their opponents, the Greek team, also fielded a combination of one high school student and one junior high school student.

High school student Taranta Hercules (3rd grade), junior high school student Papadopoulos Evangelos (3rd grade)

"The first match begins. Japan's Ochi and Shiraishi team face Greece's Hercules and Evangelos."

"The set is over, Japan is serving!"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, players from both teams retreated to their corresponding positions after the serve was determined.

Then, standing at the baseline, Ochi Gekko started his first game serve.

砰

I could only hear the sound, but I couldn't see the tennis ball.

Hercules, who was responsible for catching the ball, only felt a dark shadow flash past the corner of his eyes.

A gust of wind slapped his cheek, causing his eyes to widen belatedly.

"15 to 0"

Before the two Greek players could fully recover, the referee had already announced the result.

On this side, Ochi Gekko had no intention of trying at all, and the first serve he made was his signature serve - Mach serve.

"Ochi-senpai's serve is indeed reassuring no matter when I watch it..." In the lounge backstage, the players of the representative team who did not play were crowded in front of the screen to watch the situation on the court.

After seeing Ochi Gekko's ace, Oishi Shuichiro couldn't help but sigh.

He even had the illusion that he was standing on the court and watching the opponent's serve up close.

"That's natural. The maximum speed of Mach's serve is 260km/h, and there are only a few people who can do this kind of serve, even among professional players."

In the crowd, Mitsuya Akuto, who came with the team as a staff officer, spoke freely.

While they were chatting and watching the screen, the score on the field was changing rapidly.

砰

30 is better than 0
砰

40 is better than 0
砰

"Game, the Japanese team is leading, the score is 1-0."

The two players of the Greek team had no reaction at all after receiving Mach serves continuously.

The first game ended quickly with Ochi Gekko's 4 aces.

On the sidelines, watching her team successfully score 1 point, Yuuki Maya did not show any change in expression.

The speed of Mach's serve is something that even he needs to deal with seriously, and the high school student on the opposite side is not in the top ten of the first team, so naturally he has no ability to break Ochi Gekko's serve.

From Hercules' reaction, it was clear that he was completely helpless.

At the beginning of the second game, the game entered a tug-of-war stage.

Although Mach's serve took the lead, this is a world championship after all, and the opponent is still a top ten team. Of course, they will not surrender just because they can't receive the serve.

0 is better than 15
15 is better than 15
15 is better than 30
30 is better than 30
……

The scores on both sides rose alternately, and the situation began to become increasingly tense.

After all, Mach's serve is just a serve and cannot be used on the return ball. Therefore, after losing this advantage, it is not easy for Ochi and Shiraishi to completely suppress the opposing duo.

Gaining a slight advantage by serving is already a good start.

"The strength of that bearded high school student should not be underestimated!"

At this time, Kirihara Akaya, who was sitting on the sidelines, looked at the Greek team's half with some surprise and spoke.

Although they clearly felt that they had the advantage, they did not have the composure that the side should have, and the score was always very close.

boom……

"Game, Greece scores, the score is 3 to 2!"

boom……

"Game, Japan scores, the score is 4 to 2!"

Right now, because Ochi Gekko's two serve games have established a 2-point gap, if the Greek team does not find a way to make up for this gap, the Japanese team will be able to maintain this score difference until the end of the doubles match.

After falling into this dangerous situation, the high school student on the opposite side finally couldn't bear it anymore and used his trump card - the Silver Light of Olympia.

Silver specks of starlight suddenly emanated from his whole body. At this moment, the opponent's momentum changed drastically.

However, Hercules' outburst was entirely after Ochi Gekko's consideration.

He stretched out his left hand, pushed the hair covering his eyes aside, and his icy blue pupils were filled with coldness.

"It looks like there will be a full moon tonight!"

After Ochi finished his enigmatic speech, an invisible air pressure enveloped the entire stadium indiscriminately.
