The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 107

"Mr. Baker, are you even capable of this...?"

"Bang!"

On the field, the players rallied seamlessly, and the match intensified rapidly.

"I want to get it all done in one go."

Genichiro Sanada of Rikkai University couldn't wait any longer. He secretly exerted force in his arm, rushed forward, and raised his hand to swing his racket.

"Bang!"

"Game: Sanada Atobe, Score: 3-0."

After the referee finished making the announcement, Billy Casey booed, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever.

"Great, it's 3-0 now."

The cheers from the sidelines surged like waves.

Billy Casey turned to look at Atobe Keigo and Sanada Genichiro and said, "Mike, did you see that last shot by the guy with the hat?"

"Look carefully."

Mike Lee said, "I didn't expect the Kanto team to have students like this. But I could easily handle that kind of ball."

Billy Casey: "It's about time we used our best skills."

"No."

Richard raised a finger, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness, and said, "I don't think they've used all their trump cards yet. Let's wait and see."

"Yes, boss."

The two responded.

As soon as they stepped onto the court, the two men fixed their attention on Atobe Keigo. In their view, after Sanada Genichiro used the invisible serve, it was time for the other man to use his special move as well.

"Bang!"

During the fight, the two members of Mishimi were waiting for Atobe Keigo's ultimate move.

"Bang!"

Mike Lee hit a high lob.

"Hmph, a good opportunity."

Keigo Atobe leaped high into the air and shouted, "Don't get too caught up in my amazing ball skills!"

"Snapped!"

First, he knocked the racket out of Billy Kessie's hand, then jumped up and smashed the ball down.

"Zero to fifteen".

"There it is, a waltz leading to destruction!"

"Atobe really knows how to show off."

"Wow, that's really impressive."

"Bang!"

"Zero to thirty"

"Zero to forty"

In the game, Sanada Atobe won 4-0.

"It's all over, it's all over!"

Nakamura was terrified, but then forced a smile: "No problem, no problem!! Hehehe."

The wealthy heiress Steve watched the scene intently.

Billy Casey and Mike Lee walked to the sidelines.

Richard, listening intently to the worried murmurs behind him, said enthusiastically to the two, "Alright, now you can begin your performance!"

Upon hearing their boss's order, the two couldn't help but show expressions of excitement.

the other side.

Atobe Keigo turned to look at the two relaxed men and said, "What are those guys so smug about? If they don't make a move soon, I'll take this match."

Genichiro Sanada remained silent.

Hanamura Aoi smiled sweetly and said, "I don't have much to explain. Everything's going well so far. What do you think, Natsume?"

Without even looking up, Natsume Tsukiya said, "Atobe, I want a shutout. Don't hold back on your serve, Tannhäuser. That kind of thing is useless against me!!"

"Well?!"

Atobe Keigo was shocked. He hadn't even used this serve during the training camp; no one should know about it...

How did this guy know?

"Tannhäuser serves?"

Huacun Kui became interested and said, "So you had a backup plan. Now I don't have to worry anymore."

"Atobe?"

Genichiro Sanada looked at him.

Keigo Atobe, carrying his racket, said, "I was originally planning to keep it, but since that's the case, let me take the match point this time."

Opposite field.

Billy Casey glanced at the stands and thought to himself, "Stephanie, just you wait, I will definitely give you this victory as a gift."

"We're in the middle of a game, what are you looking around for?" Mike Lee said seriously.

Billy Casey: "Relax, Mike, we've got this in the bag."

Atobe Keigo frowned slightly as he looked at the two people opposite him. He grabbed the ball, threw it into the air, and shouted, "Since you like playing this kind of exciting game, I'll let you play to your heart's content."

Red, orange, yellow, green—

Atobe Keigo's pupils flashed with vibrant colors, followed by a loud bang.

The ball in his hand was like a ladle of firebird, rushing into the opposite court, whooshing and speeding along the ground towards the backcourt, leaving a trail of dust.

"What?"

Billy Casey and Mike Lee were both startled.

"Fifteen to zero!"

"The referee announced."

Billy Casey: "That Kanto team player actually had such a trick up his sleeve."

Countless people on stage covered their mouths in shock.

While wiping away sweat, Nakamura explained to the sponsors, thinking to himself, "Mr. Baker, what are you doing? It's match point, why hasn't the performance you promised happened yet?"

"Did you see that? Did you all see that?"

"I never expected that Atobe would have been hiding that kind of serve."

"It seems the other party didn't have time to react either."

"Great, let's take this game in one fell swoop!"

"Atobe wins, Atobe~"

A tidal wave of exclamations surged forth, and Richard Baker lowered his arms, utterly bewildered: "How could this be? This absolutely cannot be! This is completely deviating from the script I set!"

So he shouted at the two people in the room, "What are you two doing?"

Billy Casey was taken aback, and Mike Lee's expression also turned serious.

Mike Lee said, "Calm down, calm down, we must stay calm, there must be a way to solve this."

"Bang!!"

Another fireball surged in, flashing across the ground of the field.

"Thirty to zero!"

"Great, we scored!"

"Atobe, one more ball!"

The middle school students were thrilled.

The sound instantly drowned out those so-called fans.

Tennis stars need to win to be stars.

"!"

"40 to 0!"

The pressure begins to increase layer by layer.

Those outside the arena have no idea about the changes in the mindset of each person inside.

It's important to understand that, according to Richard's plan, Billy Casey and Mike Lee losing the first four innings and then coming back to win the fifth was the perfect opportunity.

The emotions of the audience and investors will reach their ideal state.

Fans might think that he was hiding his true strength.

However, things got out of control in the fifth inning.

Then the expectations of the audience and sponsors will be disappointed, and they will have doubts, wondering if the reason they are lagging behind is because they are not good enough.

This is completely unacceptable.

When the score reached 40 to 0.

Billy Casey and Mike Lee are also under increasing pressure.

Although they haven't reached their peak yet, it has already affected their mindset.

If you were performing at 100% before, now you're only at 90%.

All of this was part of Natsume Tsukiya's plan.

In any competition, psychological problems can arise when the space for performance is severely limited.

"Bang!"

Mike Lee swung his racket at a ball, but didn't touch it at all.

"Game: Sanada Atobe, Score 5-0!!!"

The referee's voice was like a vast ocean, making many people feel suffocated.

Richard suddenly stood up from his chair.

Backstage lounge.

"How could this happen? Billy and Mike were beaten to 0-5."

"That's incredible! That guy actually won the match point with his serve."

"The Kanto team seems to have underestimated their opponents."

"Great! Match point! Match point! Match point!" Horio Satoshi shouted.

Momoshiro Takeshi: "Oh, well done. Atobe really has a knack for it, pushing the game to match point first."

Takashi Kawamura: "Just one more goal and we'll win!"

In the arena, Atobe Keigo and Sanada Genichiro simultaneously turned their heads to look at Natsume Tsukiya.

Atobe Keigo: "That guy..."

Genichiro Sanada: "Tsukiya Natsume will definitely become Rikkai's biggest obstacle..."

The two walked to the sidelines.

"Well done, you've reached match point."

Hanamura Aoi laughed and said, "Maybe we really have a chance to win the match."

"Coach, what do you mean by 'there's a chance'?" Atobe Keigo strongly disagreed.

Hanamura Aoi smiled and first sought Natsume Tsukiya's opinion, saying, "You tell me, what instructions should I give next?"

Genichiro Sanada turned his back, clearly not wanting to listen.

Keigo Atobe said, "Sanada, if you keep going like this, you'll still lose to Hyotei in the national tournament."

"What did you say?" Sanada Genichiro frowned.

Atobe Keigo ignored him and looked at Natsume Tsukiya. He knew that if Natsume Tsukiya remained silent, it meant he was giving instructions.

The onlookers were utterly puzzled: "Hey, what are those two doing?"

"It looks like they're waiting for Natsume Tsukiya to speak."

"If anyone needs guidance, that's the coach's job. Why would we listen to that guy?"

"So what...?"

Natsume Tsuki also looked up and said, "You two switch positions. Atobe will serve this set."

"Well?"

The three of them were taken aback at the same time.

Genichiro Sanada immediately and firmly stated, "I can handle this myself!"

Hanamura Aoi looked puzzled and said, "In that case, I'll leave it to you, Sanada!"

Genichiro Sanada, disapproving of Tsukiya Natsume, walked directly onto the court.

Atobe Keigo hesitated for a moment before turning around.

"You two, you absolutely must win this match. Otherwise, not only will you fail to please your sponsor, but you'll also cause your fans and girls to lose faith in you. You have to win, do you hear me?"

Richard issued a firm order that only winning was allowed and losing was not permitted.

Yes, boss!

The two stood at attention and replied.

Billy Kesi looked at Atobe Keigo across from him and said, "This time, watch me."

"Then, everything is in your hands," Mike Lee said.

Billy Kessie looked towards the stands, thinking to himself, "I will never lose, never. Just watch, I will definitely turn the tide with this goal."

"Whoosh whoosh~"

Billy Kessie spun the racket above his head like a rope.

"Here it comes, everyone watch, Billy's rope serve," Tom Griffith said.

Everyone else in the room stared wide-eyed: "Then, what is it?"

"That posture is so weird."

"Oh, that's Billy Casey's signature move, the cow rope serve," Mamoru Inoue explained. "He was a cowboy, and that was one of his most prized skills."

"It looks really big."

"Open your eyes wide and watch carefully."

Billy Casey said, "Don't think that getting five points guarantees a win. You still have to ask me if I agree."

"Bang!"

The ball had already been thrown, then suddenly flashed by.

It hit the court with a loud thud on the two players from the Kanto team.

Genichiro Sanada shifted slightly.

"Fifteen to zero!"

"What?"

Genichiro Sanada was taken aback.

He couldn't even return that serve.

"Wow, that's amazing! They actually scored a point."

"It looks like they're using their best techniques."

Richard: "That's right, exactly. At this crucial moment, let's seize the opportunity and take back everything that's been lost."

Nakamura wiped his sweat: "Great, we've finally started to fight back. If we lose any more points, I don't know how I'll explain it."

"It's my turn to pick you up this time," Atobe Keigo said from behind.

Sanada immediately frowned and said forcefully, "Atobe, stop arguing. I can handle my own ball."

Sanada believed he could fight back.

"Then I'll give you one more chance."

"That's what Atobe Keigo said."

Hanamura Aoi, however, didn't look at the scene in front of her, but instead glanced at Natsume Tsukiya. She probably understood why Natsume Tsukiya had said those things earlier.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Billy Kessie spun his racket again.

"Bang!"

"Billy Cassidy is going to go full throttle now."

A loud bang.

That ball came hurtling in again.

"Snapped!"

"Received."

People outside the stadium shouted.

"Out! Thirty to zero!"

"Not bad, you actually caught it, but you can't score just by returning it." Billy Casey said, hands on his hips.

"Again!" Sanada roared.

"You stand to the side."

Atobe Keigo's voice came from behind.

"What?" Sanada Genichiro was greatly shocked.

Atobe Keigo actually has an aura that surpasses mine?

"Hmph, if it weren't for you, a shutout would have been a certainty."

Keigo Atobe walked around and said, "But it doesn't matter. Even if we can't shut out the series in the small and large sets, shutting out the overall score is fine too."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"They're here!" Billy Kessie shouted.

"Snapped!"

Billy Casey hit another shot, this time veer off course towards Atobe Keigo, and shouted, "Score!"

"Keep dreaming."

After stopping Sanada Genichiro with a single glance, Atobe Keigo leaped up; he was already very familiar with this kind of shot before the game.

"Bang!"

"Thirty to fifteen!"

The judge pronounced the verdict.

Mike Lee and Billy Casey were stunned for a moment, both showing expressions of disbelief.

It should be noted that if the two hadn't been careless, they would have been able to receive that ball.

"Great, we won!"

Cheers erupted from the sidelines.

Sanada glanced at Natsume Tsukiya.

"I see!"

Atobe Keigo thought to himself, "So, what's next...?"

"They actually broke my serve rope!"

Billy Kessie was no longer optimistic. He glanced at Stephanie and suddenly served another ball.

This time, both sides were prepared and fought back and forth for several rounds.

Billy Casey deliberately hit a high lob.

"A good opportunity, a high lob."

"Use the Waltz Towards Destruction now!!"

Watching the ball climb higher, Atobe Keigo glanced at the opposite side first, his gaze shifting back and forth between Billy Casey and Mike Lee, wondering, "That guy wouldn't use an aerial interception for no reason. So, who on the other side can do it?!"

At this moment, he already had a picture in his mind of Natsume Tsukiya dealing with that kind of ball before the match.

The figure suddenly leaped up.

"Bang!"

Atobe Keigo was still wondering how to land and meet his opponent's attack when, the instant his racket slammed into the ball, he understood: it was by using the upward force of the ball to flip backward...

Billy Casey smiled to himself, thinking, "You've been tricked."

Suddenly leaping.

He swung his racket directly at the ball in mid-air.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Billy Kessie was very pleased with himself.

"Snapped!"

"Thirty to thirty!"

The two landed almost simultaneously.

"What?"

Both of them looked back at the same time.

"What happened?"

"Yes, what just happened?"
