The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 82 Wind and Fire

The game continued and Atobe served again.

It was still the same serving action as before, but after the tennis ball was served, the force, rotation and speed were greater than the first serve.

However, even so, Genichirō Sanada still handled the ball calmly, just like he did when he hit the first ball.

The two sides fought again, but this time it was not as tense as the previous one.

After just a few rounds, Tezuka Sanada's racket swung like a gust of wind, leaving an afterimage. The tennis ball instantly broke through the air and exploded at Atobe's feet.

30-0
40-0
……

"Game, Sanada is leading, the score is 1 to 0."

Another high-speed shot hit the blind spot on the sideline where Keigo Atobe could not reach it. The first game ended in less than 7 minutes.

Genichirō Sanada, who had taken the lead, said to Keigo Atobe in a playful tone, "Why, are you still as confident as before?"

"Shut your stinky mouth." Atobe Keigo's face was as cold as ice. He said this coldly and returned to his position.

"The second game begins, Sanada serves."

Soon, the referee blew the whistle for the second game.

"Don't fail to catch my serve, Atobe."

Genichirō Sanada held a tennis ball in his hand and got into a serving position, then tossed it gently.

咻

Atobe Keigo only heard the sound of the ball being hit, but in just a blink of an eye, the tennis ball had arrived at his feet at the same time.

"when?!"

Atobe Keigo was slightly furious. He had no time to react and could only watch the tennis ball fly out of bounds and land a second time outside the bounds.

At this time, Sanada, who was standing at the baseline, had already stopped swinging his racket at some point, and stood there just as he had before the second game started.

"Sanada scores, 15-0."

The referee's voice sounded at the right time, telling Keigo Atobe that the opponent had served the first ball.

In the preparation area of ​​Rikkai University, Yanagi Renji saw this scene and smiled: "It seems that Sanada is starting to get serious. The game should be decided soon."

Maya Yuuki sat aside, leaning back in his chair. He just nodded slightly without responding to Renji Yanagi's words, and observed the situation on the court with his eyes.

Although she knew that Genichirō Sanada would win, Maya Yuuki believed that the match would not become one-sided so quickly. After all, no matter what, Keigo Atobe was a national-level player and still had some capital to resist.

On the court, Genichirō Sanada served again.

Atobe's eyes narrowed, he was determined to see the opponent's serve clearly this time.

咻

Another sound of wind breaking through the air was heard, and the tennis ball turned into a gust of wind and swept over.

While he was thinking, the tennis ball passed by Keigo Atobe's feet again and flew out of the court.

I didn't see it clearly.

Just now, Keigo Atobe was so focused that he only saw Sanada's racket swing when he served, which was as fast as an afterimage. While his brain was still calculating the opponent's serve path, the tennis ball had already fallen at his feet.

30 is better than 0
Genichirō Sanada scored again with his serve, and he only needed two more balls to win the second game.

咻

The same thing happened with the third ball. Keigo Atobe did not react, but Genichirō Sanada's swing just now became clearer in his eyes.

"Not enough, I need to see more clearly"

Atobe Keigo shouted in his heart, he was just one step away from seeing through this serve.

Atobe Keigo's pupils shrank deeply, and he increased his concentration again, mobilizing all his insights.

On the other side, Genichirō Sanada served again. "I see clearly!"

Seeing the tennis ball flying like the wind and falling right in front of him, Atobe Keigo flashed, adjusted his steps, took a step forward, and appeared behind the tennis ball.

He swung the racket in his hand, and instantly burst out with huge power to pull the tennis ball back with his forehand.

砰

The tennis ball was successfully returned, turning into a streak of light and shooting diagonally towards the opposite corner of Genichirō Sanada.

However, this return ball did not allow Keigo Atobe to achieve anything. After Sanada Genichirō caught up with the tennis ball, he hit it with his backhand, like a samurai drawing his sword to strike.

The sound of wind sounded again, but this time, the tennis ball returned faster than the previous serve.

The return ball left a trail in the air and exploded directly in the front court of Atobe Keigo.

"Game, Sanada is leading, the score is 2 to 0."

After seeing his return score, Genichirō Sanada restrained his batting posture, stood straight and said, "Atobe, do you really think that my [Wind] is only this fast?"

"Tsk..."

Atobe Keigo had a cold face and said nothing. He had personally experienced its power as fast as the wind.

But he is very confident now, because his eyes have gradually adapted to this move, and the subsequent complete cracking is no problem for him.

After a short break, it was time for the third round.

At the beginning of the third game, Keigo Atobe, whose eyesight had improved, was no longer as hard to resist as in the previous two games when facing Sanada's speed. Instead, he was able to gradually keep up the pace.

After seeing through the path of the ball of [Wind], the rhythm of the game was finally brought back to balance by Atobe Keigo, and it seemed that the game entered into a long-lasting tug-of-war that he was good at.

15-15
15-30
30-30
30-40
……

The scores rose alternately, and almost every ball took nearly five or six minutes to decide the result.

However, this stalemate was quickly broken by Genichirō Sanada.

"Sanada, I have completely seen through your [Wind]." Atobe Keigo smiled confidently after hitting a ball back.

Upon hearing this, Genichirō Sanada remained unmoved and maintained a calm expression: "Really? Then the next ball will be your reward."

"what?!"

When Keigo Atobe heard this, he felt confused, but the next moment, his eyes widened.

boom!
I saw a tennis ball with the momentum of a raging fire, pressing down like a heavy stone, rushing towards Atobe Keigo.

Before the tennis ball came close, Keigo Atobe felt a scorching temperature burning his face.

"This is--"

Atobe Keigo's expression suddenly became solemn and shocked, and he hurriedly wanted to hold the racket with both hands to fight back.

There was a violent collision between the flaming tennis ball and the racket, but it was only a moment, and the racket in Keigo Atobe's hand was knocked away.

There was a "click" sound.

The flying racket fell to the ground with a crisp and heavy sound, and a burning air emanated from the surface of the racket.

Invasion like fire
Following [Wind], Genichirō Sanada once again used [Fire] from his four great secrets.

Feeling the numbness and soreness in his arms, the little confidence that Keigo Atobe had just regained sank to the bottom again.

"Game, Sanada is leading, the score is 3 to 0."

"The third game is over. Please ask both players to switch places."

There may be only two chapters today. I have something else to do. I will see if I can spare some time to update another chapter later.
