The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 48: There is no luck below the realm
After winning the point, Sengoku Kiyosumi did not hesitate and served again after a few breaths.

After giving up the tiger cannon serve, the threat of Sengoku Kiyomi's serve dropped sharply, but he was unexpectedly able to engage in a tug-of-war with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

The continuous hitting of the ball back and forth made the situation on the field seem to be equal again.

What was even more unexpected was that the score was no longer rising one-sidedly, but was actually rising alternately.

15-15
15-30
15-40
30-40
……

The two sides were deadlocked for more than 6 minutes before the outcome of this small game was decided, and it ended with Tezuka Kunimitsu's sharp flat shot penetrating the blind spot in the backcourt of Chigoku Kiyomizu.

"What is that Tezuka guy doing?"

Outside the field, Genichirō Sanada frowned and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

In Genichirō Sanada's opinion, Kiyomizu Sengoku is no match for Kunimitsu Tezuka, and the match should be over soon.

But the situation before him was completely different from what he had imagined, as if the two sides were in a evenly matched contest.

"Tezuka is testing his opponent again."

Maya Yuuki explained to Sanada that he could see at a glance what Tezuka Kunimitsu was planning off the court, and it was obvious that his old habit had come back.

Kunimitsu Tezuka's habit is always to wait for his opponent to attack first, and then he will respond.

Once Kunimitsu Tezuka uses a move and his opponent has no way to break it, then Kunimitsu Tezuka will stop using other moves and use this move and the partial strength he has currently displayed to complete the entire match.

Only when the opponent puts pressure on Tezuka Kunimitsu and makes him find it difficult to score, will he use the second move based on the first move, showing more strength, and then use both moves at the same time, repeating this process.

This is the arrogance of Tezuka Kunimitsu. He will always only show a strength that is slightly stronger than his opponent in the competition, and then after his opponent breaks through this slight strength, he will use more strength step by step.

Only when Tezuka Kunimitsu recognizes your strength will he stop testing you and start showing most of your strength right from the start.

He is not like Genichirō Sanada, who, as long as he realizes that his opponent's level is far behind his own, will simply crush his opponent and end the fight quickly.

"Humph, there's nothing worth testing against an opponent of this level."

Genichirō Sanada snorted in dissatisfaction. He did not understand Tezuka Kunimitsu's behavior.

In Sanada's eyes, weak opponents can be simply crushed with an absolutely tough attitude, there is no need to resort to such unnecessary measures.

Maya Yuuki didn't say anything, but nodded slightly. He agreed with what Genichirō Sanada said.

This is also Rikkai University's style of doing things, ending the game swiftly and decisively, without giving the opponent any chance to breathe.

On the court, the fourth game began and it was Tezuka Kunimitsu's turn to serve.

Tezuka Kunimitsu served the same textbook serve as he did in the previous game.

Whoosh.

Another ace ball, but Sengoku Kiyomi still found it difficult to receive it.

Then there were two more shots, and the same thing happened.

In an instant, the score of this game came to 0 to 40, in no more than 2 minutes.

This can't go on...

Sengoku Qingchun thought to himself that he knew very well that if he just sat there and waited to die, it would be no different from giving up directly.

Soon, Tezuka Kunimitsu hit the fourth ball, and the ball came at a ghostly speed.

Sengoku Kiyosumi gave up his habit of observing the tennis ball with dynamic vision before moving. Instead, the moment he saw Tezuka Kunimitsu swinging his racket, he boldly predicted the approximate trajectory of the tennis ball by observing the swing angle of his arm. This was a gambling counterattack. If he guessed wrong, this action would be like a beginner swinging the racket randomly.

boom.

The goddess of luck favored Sengoku Kiyomizu again. His racket did not miss the target, but instead blocked the tennis ball firmly.

The tennis ball was hit back and quickly landed on the sideline to the left of Tezuka Kunimitsu, and went out of bounds along the white line.

It seemed that he did not expect that his serve would be hit back. On the previous return, Kunimitsu Tezuka did not move to chase.

"Luckluck, luckily I guessed it right." Qianshi Qingchun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. In fact, he had no idea about the previous goal.

The score was changed to 40 to 15, and Sengoku Kiyosumi successfully broke the serve and saved her face.

Next, facing the next serve from Kunimitsu Tezuka, Sengoku Kiyomi repeated his previous move and successfully received it again.

However, this time Tezuka Kunimitsu was on guard and caught up with the return ball before it landed, then adjusted his racket and hit it.

The tilted balance seemed to be pulled back by Sengoku Kiyosumi in a strange way again, and the two sides pulled the ball again.

However, Kunimitsu Tezuka, who controlled the offensive rhythm, quickly broke the situation. He first used short balls to force his opponent to rush to the net to save the ball, and then he lightly jumped at the lifted tennis ball and swung his racket to smash it.

But Tezuka Kunimitsu obviously underestimated the tenacity of Sengoku Kiyomizu. When the opponent's smash ball was about to land, he jumped up and stretched out his tennis racket in a very awkward way to reach the smash ball.

The tennis ball flew high and flew towards Tezuka Kunimitsu's half of the court in an exaggerated parabola.

Watching this ball from the side outside the court, Maya Yuuki immediately determined that the ball must have landed out of bounds.

However, just as the tennis ball was about to hit the ground, a strange gust of wind blew from behind Kunimitsu Tezuka, blowing the tennis ball, which was originally going to fall out of bounds, off its original trajectory.

Snapped

The tennis ball lands just inside the baseline.

Sengoku Kiyomizu, who was lying on the ground, smiled slightly when he saw this scene and secretly sighed that he was so lucky.

However, the next second, the tennis ball did not fall to the ground again, but was pulled over by an unknown force and slowly flew towards Kunimitsu Tezuka who was standing at the center line.

"What-is this?!" Sengoku Kiyomizu's eyes widened instantly, shocked by the scene before him.

He didn't know that his opponent had this skill, and why he had never seen Kunimitsu Tezuka use it in the semi-finals of the previous tournament.

On the other side, Kunimitsu Tezuka calmly raised his arm and hit the flying tennis ball back.

This time, without any surprise, the tennis ball fell into the opponent's backcourt and bounced out of bounds.

Maya Yuuki smiled secretly as she watched all this. Even the calm and composed Kunimitsu Tezuka would become silently angry after his opponent scored against him in such a strange way.

"Are you finally willing to use that trick? Wouldn't it have been better if you did it earlier?" After seeing this scene, Genichirō Sanada said with some satisfaction.

"The time is almost right. He already wants to end this game."

Maya Yuuki said without a doubt that the moment Tezuka Kunimitsu used [Field], the game would end.

Sengoku Kiyomizu's so-called luck no longer has any luck at all under Tezuka Kunimitsu's [domain].

There is an absolutely insurmountable gap in strength between the two.
