The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 79: A slight move is enough to crush the opponent. (There will be another chapter in the evening)
"This slow serve doesn't bother me."

Seeing the tennis ball whizzing towards him, Kirihara Akaya opened his arms and swung his racket, steadily receiving the serve and hitting the tennis ball back to the opponent's open space in the front court.

"No way, Feng's heavy serve was received so easily?"

"That guy with a messy hair on the opposite side is also a first-year, right? How come he is so strong?"

"Is it impossible to score directly even with such a fast serve..."

When Hyotei's fans saw that Houchotaro's heavy serve did not score directly as in the usual games, they couldn't help but show various surprised expressions.

The tennis ball flew back to Hyotei's half of the court. Before the tennis ball hit the ground, Jiro Akutagawa stretched out his racket, twisted his wrist and caught the return ball directly.

The way he swung the racket was weird. After the tennis ball was hit back by him, it did not go back in a straight line, but flew over the net at a small angle. The angle was very tricky.

"Hey, you're quite good at it."

In the frontcourt of Rikkai University, Kirihara Akari, who had received the ball earlier, also arrived here early. After seeing Akutagawa Jiro's volley from a small angle, he took a step forward to catch up.

Then he swung the racket and deliberately aimed the tennis ball at Jiro Akutagawa's feet, hitting a chase ball.

"Wow--"

Seeing that the return ball was about to hit his feet, Akutagawa Jiro shouted exaggeratedly, then fell down in a weird posture.

唰

The chasing ball shot out from under his feet at the same time as he fell to the ground, instantly passed through Kirihara Akaya and quickly fell to the ground.

"what?!"

Kirihara Akaya suddenly felt something was wrong. He could no longer catch up with the tennis ball, but he still didn't understand how the other party did it.

"Kirhara, you're too careless."

A dark shadow appeared behind the tennis ball and blocked the return ball just before it was about to bounce off.

Then, the intercepted tennis ball instantly pierced through the entire court like a streaking arrow, fell to the ground at the boundary line of Hyotei, and flew out of the court.

Feng Changtaro, who was closest to the landing point, had no reaction at all to the high-speed return ball and could only watch himself lose points.

The one who hit the tennis ball back was naturally Maya Yuuki in the backcourt of Rikkai University. After seeing the loophole in Kirihara Akaya's defense, he filled the gap for him.

"15 to 0."

Seeing that he almost lost the ball and almost embarrassed himself in front of Yui Maya, Kirihara Akaya looked at Akutagawa Jiro who stood up with a regretful expression on his face, and suddenly became angry.

"You almost made me lose face in front of my senior."

The next moment, Kirihara Akaya's Akame state was activated, and his only thought now was to kill the other party.

"Oh, that Kirihara guy is at it again." Marui Bunta, who was outside the field, was not surprised to see this scene.

Just a little bit of stimulation and Kirihara Akaya will become like this.

However, just when Kirihara Akaya was thinking about how to kill the opponent, a racket appeared above his head.

Snapped

The tennis racket hit Kirihara Akaya hard on the top of his head, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"Who?! Who is hitting me..."

Kirihara Akaya, who was suddenly attacked, looked back fiercely. After finding that it was Yuuki Maya who hit him with the racket of a tennis racket, his fierce expression suddenly turned into a somewhat aggrieved one, and he covered his head.

"Senior, what are you doing——"

"Didn't I tell you not to use Akame easily in a match unless you can control it?" Maya Yuuki reminded after retracting her racket.

"Ow..."

Upon hearing this, Kirihara Akaya rubbed his head, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded away the next second, returning to his normal appearance.

After the episode ended, the Hyotei duo on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment, and then continued to serve at the referee's signal.

Hou Changtaro concentrated and held his breath, and threw the ball again. Just like the first ball, he used his specialty, high-speed serve.

This time, he was in better condition than the previous one, and the speed of the ball was also faster than before. "I should be able to get this ball."

After hitting the serve, Hou Changtaro said silently in his heart.

However, in the blink of an eye, the tennis ball fell to the ground and bounced, and a racket appeared behind it.

Maya Yuuki easily caught this seemingly extremely fast serve. He swung his arm and the tennis ball was hit back at an even faster speed.

砰

The tennis ball exploded at Jiro Akutagawa's feet and flew out of bounds.

"Hey, why didn't you catch the ball?" Yuuki Maya said in a puzzled tone.

Jiro Akutagawa took a look at the tennis ball still rolling out of bounds, and a drop of cold sweat inadvertently flowed down his face.

He wanted to catch the ball, but his body didn't react at all.

Then the game continues.

Hyotei still failed to make any progress in their serve games, and Houchotaro's high-speed serve, which he was good at, was directly broken.

"Game, Rikkai University is leading, score 1 to 0."

The second game started soon after the change of sides, with Maya Yuuki serving at Rikkai University.

"The serve just now, if I remember correctly, should have been played like this."

Maya Yuuki talked to himself as he made a serving motion that was completely different from his usual one, and this action immediately attracted the attention of Hyotei.

"Hey, Atobe, why is that action so similar to--" Oshitari Yuushi shouted with his eyes wide open.

Atobe Keigo was also stunned, and his eyes immediately looked in the direction of Houchotaro on the court.

At this time, Feng Changtaro's expression froze slightly, and he obviously saw the clue.

Maya Yuuki threw the tennis ball high up, then jumped up and dunked it heavily.

The tennis ball immediately flew out like a cannonball, hitting and exploding at Houchotaro's feet.

Without any hindrance, Maya Yuuki scored directly from her serve, and Houchotaro, who was responsible for receiving the ball, did not react at all.

"How could that guy know Feng's serve?!" Mukai Taketo racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. If everyone could serve like that, Feng Chotaro would never have become Hyotei's starting player.

When Taro Sakaki saw this scene, his expression did not change much. Instead, he inexplicably thought of the previous minister of Hyotei.

Sometimes, the gap between people is so despairing.

A skill that you have worked hard to master may be learned by others in just two glances.

Houchotaro was feeling bitter at the moment, because he found that with the same serve, Yuuki Maya's ball speed was much faster than his.

15-0
30-0
40-0
2-0
3-0
……

After the second doubles match started with Maya Yuuki's serve, the score began to rise rapidly and one-sidedly.

The Hyotei's doubles team had no way to launch an effective counterattack. Facing Maya Yuuki's various high-speed returns, their strenuous saves were in vain.

The gap in hard power between the two sides is too big.

Even later in the game, Kirihara Akashi found that he seemed to be on the court only to serve to Yuuki Maya and receive the serve from the opponent.

Because except for this time when he was able to touch the tennis ball, at other times, the opponent lost the ball before he even took two steps.

"The game is over. Rikkai University won with a score of 6-0."

In just less than fifteen minutes, the first doubles match ended amid the disbelief of the audience.

Moreover, after announcing the result of the game, the referee told everyone present through the radio.

The time taken for this game broke the shortest time record for the Kanto Conference finals.
