The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 236 The stalemate was broken, but it turned out to be...

"Bang!"

Niou Masaharu hit the ball towards the left sideline of the right half of the court, and Akutsu Jin's aura of ferocity surged, his pupils narrowed again, and with two quick steps, he arrived at the target, then unleashed a powerful, offensive swing—"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew back with even greater force to the left court where the two Rikkai players were located.

Genichiro Sanada took three quick steps back, then gripped his hands, and a yellowish-brown mountain wall rose up in front of him.

"Immovable as a mountain!"

Genichiro Sanada let out a low growl, and then hit the ball back, the impact of which had been neutralized by "Mountain".

"Bang!"

The tennis beams crisscrossed the court, creating a stalemate where neither side could gain the upper hand. Genichiro Sanada and Masaharu Niou, having mastered Synchro, were able to defend effectively each time. Furthermore, Genichiro Sanada, with his Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain abilities, and Masaharu Niou, who could transform into other characters, possessed unique offensive skills.

However, aside from their slightly inferior teamwork, Sengoku Kiyosumi and Akutsu Jin's bug-level dynamic vision allows him to see and predict all ball trajectories. Even if he can't catch a ball or it's difficult to catch, he can call on the wild Akutsu at any time.

Akutsu, with his enhanced physical abilities in his wild state, couldn't even get a point off Sanada's fire. Moreover, Akutsu's regular offense was incredibly fierce. As a result, all four players caused each other a lot of trouble, and the back-and-forth exchanges left no one able to score for a long time.

The surrounding audience also changed from the initial "("ω)o" to "(；0)".

"emmm"

"Oh, this, this, this second game is quite different from the first game. I originally thought the first game was too fast, it was a crushing victory, there was no suspense."

"The result of this round—"

"I'm really drunk," a member of the Kuroshio Academy tennis club said, looking at the timer on his phone. "More than four minutes have passed, and seriously, not a single person has scored yet. It's a stalemate at the very first point—"

"I really can't imagine how long this game, this set, will last. One minute and five minutes, a game is twenty minutes long."

"Clock, six innings, 120 minutes. If you keep going back and forth, wouldn't it start at 200 minutes?! Hiss!"

"Ugh, stop talking. It's scaring me a little. I'm getting tired of watching it. Although the ultimate move is indeed amazing, seeing it repeatedly is causing visual fatigue. *facepalm*"

"Can I just take a nap first? Wake me up when this game is over?"

Saori Shiba was getting a little tired of watching. She rubbed her eyes and said, "When I watched Sanada-kun's Swift as the Wind, I felt like I was watching a samurai draw his sword, and that move was actually very effective. I didn't expect that it wouldn't even score any points."

In the stands opposite Saori Shiba, Mamoru Inoue, though still able to keep his eyes open, remarked with emotion, "I've watched countless matches, but such a close start is still rare."

"Furthermore, Sanada-kun's fire is actually much stronger than when he and Kamiya-kun fought in the Jr. tournament, but I didn't expect that now even Hyotei's No. 4 and No. 6 can't do anything about it."

It's true what they say, the devil is always one step ahead. Seriously, it feels like Rikkai is still patching things up, while Hyotei has already undergone a complete overhaul.

The stalemate continued for a while until Niou Masaharu uttered a "plop" and decided to use an enhanced version of magic to defeat magic. As a result, his figure became blurred again, then began to elongate. Then, everyone present watched as another Akutsu Jin stood in Niou Masaharu's original spot.

"Holy crap! Two Akutsu fighting each other?!"

"This is a bit surreal, guys."

A wild flame ignited around "Akuzu Jin," beneath which lay a silvery-white hue symbolizing selflessness. He gripped his racket in a backhand grip and unleashed a sword-like slash at the incoming tennis ball—"Bang!"

Leaves fluttered down, and this time, Sengoku Kiyosumi's eyes caught it, but he only managed to say, "In the backstage area—"

The ball has already passed.

Akutsu Jin's Wild Perception was countered by the opponent's Wildness, which was also enhanced by the Selfless Realm's Extreme Hammering and Speed-type Ultimate Skill. Under this triple attack, the effect was delayed, so he failed to receive the attack this time.

"Genichiro Sanada & Masaharu Niou score! 15-0!"

The referee announced the score, and at the same time, "Quickly finish this!" Jin Akutsu, in his Niou Masaharu version, said to Genichiro Sanada.

Because this state of his cannot be maintained for long, as it is taking too much to his physical strength.

"Okay!" Sanada Genichiro replied.

Then I went to the left service court and served a normal serve.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball was returned by Jin Akutsu, and then, the version of Jin-Oh! Akutsu attacked again, scoring directly with another serve, bringing the score to 30-0!

Next, Genichiro Sanada quickly changed his service area again, and then tossed the ball!

This time, he spun the tennis ball, then leaped up like a cannonball, "As fierce as fire!"

With a shout, Sanada Genichiro leaped up and pressed down with all his might, "Bang!"

He unleashed a strike filled with burning flames, a strike that almost ignited the air itself.

Sengoku Kiyosumi saw it clearly and used a slice shot technique, but with a "whoosh," the tennis ball just passed through his racket.

"Genichiro Sanada & Masaharu Niou score! 40-0!"

In the final point, Sanada and Akutsu used the same tactic again and won smoothly.

Thus, "Game, Genichiro Sanada & Masaharu Niou, 1-0! Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School takes the lead! Switch fields!"

Upon hearing this result, the waiting area for the Rikkai players erupted in cheers and laughter. Marui Bunta was overjoyed; he saw the glimmer of victory in this game. "Oh!! That's fantastic!"

Jack Kuwabara clapped excitedly, "Sanada-kun, and Niou, you guys are amazing!"

Renji Yanagi squinted, raised his arms, and shouted several times, "Rikkai will win! Rikkai will win!!"

The spectators on the sidelines were buzzing with discussion. "They were neck and neck before, but now Rikkai has broken through Hyotei's defense and quickly won the first set. Especially the two Hyotei players, they've used all sorts of moves. Doesn't that mean Rikkai is guaranteed to win this set?! Eyes sparkling.jpg"

"Well, as expected, I told you Hyotei would lose this match. After all, Hyotei lost their doubles match last time to a team with Sanada-kun. Call me the Prophet!"

"Don't be too happy yet. Until the very end, can you really say Rikkai will definitely win?!"

"That's right, that's right. It's only been one game, and opening champagne at the halfway point is definitely going to backfire."
