Kikumaru possesses an exceptionally agile physique and considerable skill. His most recent opponent at Rikkai was the genius Marui.

The latter, when U-17 was surrounded by Kimishima, Tono and Kidate, used his skills and speed to create an absolute defensive zone called 'Fantasy Castle'.

Watching Kikumaru, who stood like an iron wall, returning each of Yagyu and Kirihara's shots, Niou murmured, "Kikumaru's domain... is that it?"

boom!

boom!

As the match progressed, Rikkai was unable to break through Kikumaru's defense in the backcourt, and Seigaku's morale gradually rose.

Momoshiro frowned as he watched Kikumaru running from side to side. "Eiji-senpai... he's already overcome the Shadow Ball?"

"No!"

Qian shook his head: "It's just that the impact of the afterimage ball is much smaller in the backcourt."

"But his stamina..."

At this moment, Fuji smiled and said, "It's alright, Eiji has already completed his mission..."

As he spoke, he looked at a figure that was quietly moving toward the tennis ball.

"Dashi!"

The jackal suddenly cried out in surprise, and there stood the boulder, seemingly out of nowhere, in front of the ball. With a gentle press of the racket, the tennis ball flew just past the sideline.

boom!

"30-40!"

"Ah!"

Fuji chuckled, while Inui explained, "Kikumaru is playing full defense to buy Oishi time to recover."

Oishi's stamina was already quite good, and after a brief 'recharge,' he returned to normal. At the same time, he began the attack formation that Niou was most worried about.

Daishi's territory!

Tap tap!

Ahead, Oishi lunged forward, controlling the trajectory of his opponent's return shot with his own movements. At the same time, through his extraordinary insight, he gave Kikumaru the direction of the attack from behind.

"hey-hey!!"

Kikumaru chuckled softly and quickly drew his racket.

boom!

"Divide it equally!"

"yeah!"

Horio jumped up.

Echizen gently lifted his hat and smiled, "Looks like the golden duo has been resurrected!"

"No!"

Beside him, Tezuka, whose expression had never changed, spoke up: "Watch Oishi's movements carefully!"

"Oh?"

Everyone was startled and looked up to see that Daishi had not returned to the baseline, but was instead constantly providing support on the tennis ball. At the same time, he was constantly harassing the opponent's formation with high lobs.

boom!

Kikumaru seized the opportunity to attack the two of them when they were out of position.

"The serve is superior!"

"Hmm~"

Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "They actually have this kind of teamwork?"

Fuji lightly rested his left hand on his chin, and after observing carefully, he laughed and said, "This is practically Oishi's domain!"

boom!

"Game! Qingxue, 4-1!"

boom!

"Game! Qingxue, 4-2!"

boom!

"Game! Qingxue, 4-3!"

boom!

"Game! Qingxue, 4-4!"

"We caught up!"

In just over ten minutes, the golden duo used their tacit cooperation to tie the score, greatly boosting the morale of the Seigaku team.

"Well done, Oishi-senpai, Kikumaru-senpai, let's win the match in one go!"

"Whoosh..."

The intense attack caused Kikumaru to have some difficulty breathing, but compared to his usual activities in the frontcourt, he had conserved a considerable amount of energy.

"The Great Stone Domain..."

Niou sighed. He hadn't expected Kikumaru to be able to defend against Yagyu and Kirihara's afterimage ball all by himself.

"However, after hiding his abilities for so long, shouldn't he make his move now?"

He glanced sideways at Liu Sheng, who was defending in the frontcourt, and it seemed as if he could see the glint in Liu Sheng's eyes.

Bang!

In the attacking third, Daishi glanced at the opposing team, quickly retreated, and simultaneously delivered a clever high lob.

"Damn it, it's that kind of shot again!"

Kirihara gritted his teeth, quickly stepped back, and leaped into the air to catch the ball. However, his racket was just a little short of reaching the tennis ball.

boom!

"Game! Qingxue, 4-5!"

bump!

At the same time, Kirihara fell heavily to the ground.

"Hey!"

Horio, hands on his hips, curled his nose in disdain and said, "You think you can hit Oishi-senpai's high lob with that? You're still a long way off..."

"Horiao!"

Katsuro and Katsuo, who were standing nearby, quickly called out to him.

"Hey, hehe..."

At that moment, Kirihara, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"This……"

Jackal and Marui exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.

Sanada, Yanagi, and Niou remained expressionless, while Yanagi adjusted his glasses and withdrew the imposing aura he had been preparing.

"Hahaha!!!"

Kirihara stood up, his back hunched, and looked up at Oishi with bloodshot eyes, a smirk playing on his lips: "Looks like your right hand is injured, isn't it?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, not only Oishi, but everyone from Seigaku also had a bad feeling about Kirihara's words.

Kirihara's gaze shifted downwards to Oishi's knees: "However, I'm more interested in this place."

"The tenth game begins, Rikkai's Kirihara serves, game one end!"

After switching courts, Akame Kirihara slowly took out a tennis ball and raised the corner of his mouth at Oishi on the other side.

"Rikkai's reign as the undisputed champion of Kanto is flawless!"

Crack!

As he spoke, he squeezed the tennis ball and tossed it upwards, producing a strange sound that made Daishi's body tremble.

"Knuckle serve!"

Jackal's expression changed, and among the three giants, Niou's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. Kirihara's knuckle serve was suspicious.

call!

With his red eyes slightly raised, he lifted his racket high and smashed it down.

Momoshiro's expression changed: "So fast!"

Inui's gaze darkened: "The trajectory of the serve is unpredictable..."

Bang!

The tennis ball landed in front of the boulder, then spun strangely, and before his horrified eyes, it slammed into his face at an incredible speed.

With a loud thud, Da Shi was sent flying.

"15-0!"

"Oishi (senpai)!!"

The Seigaku members were shocked, while Kikumaru quickly ran to Oishi to check his injuries.

"I'm so sorry, Oishi-senpai."

Just then, Kirihara's voice rang out, startling everyone at Seigaku. He chuckled softly, "I have no idea where this serve will ultimately bounce..."

"asshole!"

The Seigaku members, including Kikumaru on the field, glared angrily at Kirihara.
