The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 8 "One Ball"

The mysterious "Asian" boy in the eyes of others is naturally Maya Yuuki, who came to France to travel with his family during the winter vacation.

Since it wasn't time for the game yet, I said hello to my parents and went to a nearby tennis court to hone my tennis skills.

For Maya Yuuki, it is not just about practicing the abilities of a Quincy, tennis skills are also crucial.

Because the two are not independent and incompatible, but can complement each other and improve together.

"Technology is improving at a slower and slower pace..."

Maya Yuuki was thinking to himself while practicing basketball, but he remained calm because he knew that this kind of thing was inevitable.

With his current level of tennis skills, he is the best among all junior high school students in the world.

However, Maya Yuuki, who is familiar with the plot, knows very well that his current strength is still far from that of world-class or even professional-level opponents.

However, he is not anxious about this because there are still two years before the next U17 World Championship.

Two years from now will be the battlefield that belongs to him. By then, he should be able to regain all of his Quincy abilities, and even make further progress.

But before that, today's game is about to begin, and he should go and feel the atmosphere of the World Championship in advance.

With her mind turning, Maya Yuuki casually turned the racket in her hand horizontally and changed to a backhand position.

At this moment, the seven tennis balls that were hit earlier also bounced back in front of him.

唰

Maya Yuuki used her backhand to cut the seven flying tennis balls in front of her with the face of her racket. The tennis balls that were originally moving at a high speed seemed to have collided with something and suddenly stopped flying.

Then, seven tennis balls fell from mid-air to the ground one after another, bounced a few times and then came to a standstill.

His nonchalant stop of the ball drew exclamations from the onlookers.

However, Yuuki Maya, with a blank expression on her face, was not very satisfied with this in her heart.

"As expected, the completion level is still too low..."

The move he made just now to stop the ball was a new move he had learned during this period of time, and it was also an extended application technique of the Static Blood Suit - the outer shell of the Static Blood Suit.

Logically speaking, an ordinary Quincy would never be able to perform this move, because it is the signature skill of the Quincy's forefather, Yhwach.

However, Maya Yuuki managed to barely master the use of the Shell Static Blood Suit by sacrificing the defense distance and orientation of the shell shield and fixing the shield's defense range at the maximum distance that a tennis racket could reach.

Ignoring the audience around him who were still cheering for his ball-stopping move, Maya Yuuki immediately turned the racket in his left hand, and rubbed the falling tennis ball with the racket face, stopping the ball steadily on the racket face.

After stopping the practice with both hands, he quickly walked to his tennis bag beside him, ready to pack up and leave the court.

"Hello, excuse me..."

Just as he lowered his head to organize his racket, a strange voice came to his ears from behind.

"Ok?"

Yuuki Maya paused and turned around to look at the person who greeted him from behind.

But after seeing who was coming, there was some surprise in his eyes.

"How could it be him!?"

Standing in front of him was a boy with curly blond hair, about his age.

He had a warm smile on his face, but he also looked extremely confident.

One could even vaguely feel that there was a dazzling golden light emanating from his surroundings.

Zeus Iliopoulos
The captain of the Greek team in the next U17 World Championship is a talented tennis player who is hailed by the media as the omniscient and almighty god.

Before the match with Shiraishi Kuranosuke, the chief of Shitenhoji Temple, the two just looked at each other, and Shiraishi Kuranosuke instantly lost the courage to fight him.

...All kinds of information emerged from Maya Yuuki's mind and overlapped with the young man in front of her.

What do you want to do by stopping such a powerful potential future opponent?
"Is there something wrong?" asked Maya Yuuki.

"You are very powerful, can you fight with me?"

Zeus stated his purpose directly. He was not the kind of person who would beat around the bush, and his eyes showed an eagerness to try.

He had been observing Maya Yuuki for a while, and like other passers-by, he was attracted by his alternative way of practicing.

Originally, Zeus planned to watch the game today, but just now, Yuuki Maya's last-minute stop attracted him.

To others, they might just think that Yuuki Maya's ball-stopping skills are solid.

But Zeus noticed something different at that moment. His intuition told him that stopping the ball was definitely not that simple.

So in order to prove his intuition, he walked up to Maya Yuuki without hesitation and asked for a fight.

"Sorry, the game at the venue is about to start, and I'm in a hurry."

Maya Yuuki responded in a flat tone. Although he also wanted to fight Zeus, the current situation did not allow him to accept the battle.

"Really? What a pity..."

Faced with Maya Yuuki's rejection, Zeus couldn't help but show some disappointment in his eyes.

However, the reason given by the other party was not an excuse to avoid fighting. The two men had never met each other before, so the upcoming exciting game was naturally more important.

However, just when Zeus was thinking about leaving, Yuuki Maya, who had already rejected him, suddenly said:

"Even though we can't play a game, how about we play a game?"

"One goal?"

Zeus was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Well, just one shot."

Yuuki Maya repeated it.

The second after he rejected Zeus, he thought about it and felt that it was a pity to reject such a strong opponent like this. After all, such opponents are not often encountered.

There is still some time now. If you just want to play a game of ball for fun, there is still enough time.

"Okay, let's play a game."

Zeus agreed quickly, fearing that Yuuki Maya would go back on her word.

The conversation stopped there, and the two of them quickly took out their rackets and stood at the baselines on both sides of the tennis court in tacit understanding.

"I serve?"

"random."

Zeus smiled indifferently, he didn't care who served first.

He is very confident in his own strength and does not think that the opponent's serve will be beyond his reach.

The actions of the two people made the onlookers who originally wanted to disperse focus their attention here again.

There is no other reason. In this situation, you can tell what will happen next.

In their eyes, the strength displayed by the black-haired boy was amazing, and the boy with golden curly hair dared to take the initiative to fight with him, so naturally he had great confidence in his own strength.

This fierce battle between dragons and tigers is about to begin under the watchful eyes of the spectators.
