The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 37 Fangs Revealed, Sense Deprivation
After a minor incident, the fight between the two continued.

After serving and returning the ball, Maya Yuuki no longer hid her hands and demonstrated the effect of multiple Holy Arrows on the smash.

With this new version of the Holy Arrow and stronger basic tennis skills, Maya Yuuki continued to score points.

0-30
0-40
2-0
3-0
4-0
……

In just less than ten minutes, as Yukimura Seiichi continued to lose points, the score was widened to 4-0.

The situation seems to have reached a precarious point.

The current situation of Yukimura Seiichi is very similar to that of Sanada Genichirō before. The only difference is that compared to Sanada Genichirō's embarrassment at that time, although Yukimura Seiichi is sweating a lot at this moment, he still does not show any impatience or other negative emotions.

After a short break, the two sides exchanged courts, and in the fifth game, it was Maya Yuuki's turn to serve.

Without any intention of showing mercy, Yuuki Maya attacked again, attaching multiple sacred arrows of destruction to her serve.

Still, five silver arrows fell to the ground with a bang, and then bounced up quickly.

"caught you."

Suddenly, Yukimura Seiichi, who had not made any move in the previous rounds, now looked sharp and stared at the arrow of light approaching him on his left side.

He raised the tightly gripped racket in an instant and hit the bouncing arrow of light with a backhand.

咚

The tennis racket did not have the empty feeling it had in the previous attempts to catch the ball. Instead, it firmly blocked the entity among the five light arrows!
With a heavy sound of hitting the ball, Seiichi Yukimura successfully returned Maya Yuuki's serve.

At the same time, it also announced that he had cracked the serving style of this ball technique.

Looking at the serve that was hit back, Yuuki Maya's expression remained calm and peaceful.

He had expected the current situation, so he was prepared and moved quickly to intercept the return ball before it hit the ground.

He swung the racket again and hit the tennis ball back. Dozens of silver arrows flew out again. This time, he attached multiple sacred arrows of destruction to the returned ball.

However, Yukimura Seiichi, who had been prepared, no longer stood still as before and let the tennis ball fall to the ground.

At this moment, he has gradually begun to get used to this return ball. After concentrating his mental strength on his eyes, his already sharp eyesight has reached a higher level.

With just a quick glance, he found the true flight path of the ball among the many flying light arrows.

Seiichi Yukimura walked very quickly and soon arrived at the place where the tennis ball landed.

It was a tennis ball that was leaning towards the sideline. If no one caught it, it would have bounced out of bounds along the sideline.

Snapped

The tennis ball was hit back again, and the situation on the court changed significantly.

The situation where Yuki Maya was able to score quickly eased with Yukimura Seiichi's consecutive counterattacks.

The scores on both sides are no longer increasing one-sidedly, but are rising exponentially.

15-0
15-15
15-30
30-15
...

In the series of attacks, although Maya Yuuki started to lose the ball, she didn't care.

The current situation is exactly what he wants to see.

At this moment, he had already used all his strength, equivalent to what he had used during the national conference last year.

Now, he has pushed Yukimura Seiichi to his limit, and what he needs to do next is to make his opponent maintain his current state as much as possible before the end of this game.

Only by touching his own limits first can Yukimura Seiichi know clearly what path to take next.

However, for some reason, Yuuki Maya always had a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

This trace of uneasiness had been lingering in Yuuki's heart since the first game, but he temporarily suppressed it because he needed to concentrate on the game.

The current situation does not allow him to think about anything else, so Yuuki Maya should focus on the present.

After a tug-of-war, Yuuki Maya finally found a dead corner where Yukimura Seiichi had no time to defend, and won the game point with a flat shot that pursued extreme speed and penetration. The score was 5-0.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Genichirō Sanada and Renji Yanagi, Seiichi Yukimura immediately started his serve.

The tennis ball was sent flying and hit near Yuuki Maya's left foot.

"Maya, it's almost my turn next." Yukimura Seiichi murmured in a low voice.

A deep light flashed in his eyes.

Of course, Yuki Maya couldn't hear what Yukimura Seiichi said, after all, he didn't have a super hearing.

Facing the fast and sharp serve, Maya Yuuki swung the racket at the best hitting point as usual.

The two collided with each other, but at the moment of contact, Yuuki Maya raised her eyebrows.

"It doesn't feel right."

This was his first reaction when he caught the tennis ball.

The strength and rotation of the tennis ball in front of him were inconsistent with the feedback he expected after receiving the ball, even if it was just a slight difference.

But he knew very well that he could not be wrong on this point.

A very intuitive manifestation is that originally he wanted to hit the ball at the center line in front of Yukimura Seiichi, but now the landing point of the tennis ball is biased towards the center line and close to the backcourt area.

This situation would never happen to him. Even any national-level player would not make such a low-level mistake.

However, as the number of batting rounds increased, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more familiar to him.

It was not until the tenth ball that Yuki Maya suddenly lost the sense of the racket in her hand. When she hit the tennis ball flying back from the opposite side, it seemed like she was hitting a ball of air.

Naturally, this ball flew straight out of bounds in a very outrageous way.

"Maya, at this moment, do you feel that you have lost your sense of touch?" Yukimura Seiichi said in a low voice.

On the opposite side, Maya Yuuki lowered her head, raised the arm holding the racket, swung it twice, then squeezed the racket tightly, and then she understood.

It's been a long time since I felt this way.

"I haven't felt this in a long time. It's earlier than I thought."

Maya Yuuki sighed sincerely. It had been two years since she last experienced this feeling.

But what he didn't say was that Yukimura Seiichi's five senses were activated much earlier than he thought.

Even in the past, when Yukimura Seiichi successfully used the five senses destruction on him, it was in the ninth game after the two sides were tied at 4-4.

And now, only in the sixth round, his sense of touch has been successfully stripped away by the opponent.

In other words, in order to successfully launch the attack ahead of time, Yukimura Seiichi consumed an abnormally large amount of mental energy than usual.

"Yukimura, do you really want to defeat me right now..."

Maya Yuki couldn't help but look up at the other person. Their eyes met, and he felt the strong desire to win hidden under Yukimura Seiichi's gentle expression.

The next round took a turn because Maya Yuuki's sense of touch was temporarily deprived.

"Game, Yukimura Seiichi scores, the score is 1 to 5."

Genichirō Sanada's deep voice sounded.

He originally thought that the game was about to end, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Yukimura Seiichi actually turned the situation around in desperation.

……

----

The protagonist reminded us about Yukimura's illness last year, and it will be written in the later part of the story. I'll reveal it first to avoid people saying that my protagonist is not a human being or something like that.
