I want to play tennis

Chapter 3
a fight?
Kitahara Toru's words made everyone present feel both surprised and taken for granted.

"Can't!"

Well, there is another one that didn't respond.

Yui Hirasawa's unexpected refusal surprised Ryoma and the others again, but Toru Kitahara seemed to understand something and sighed helplessly.

"Wei, I'm talking about playing tennis, not fighting."

Hearing this, Pingze Weiyi, who was still serious but with a small face, immediately softened up again.

"Phew, then there's no problem, cheer up Cheche."

Haven't played yet, why add oil.

Kitahara Toru ignored Yui Hirasawa, turned his head and looked at Echizen Ryoma quietly, with a faint trace of excitement and anticipation in his eyes.

"how?"

"It doesn't matter to me."

Echizen Ryoma said indifferently, took the racket and walked to the net, his amber eyes were sharp even though there was no expression on his face.

"It's you, is it really okay to miss the game?"

Kitahara Toru was a little surprised.

"Oh, did you know that I'm also in the 16-year-old group?"

"Well, let's just investigate my opponent a little bit."

Having said that, Echizen Ryoma lowered the brim of his hat as if unintentionally.

"Although I was disqualified for being 5 minutes late."

This sentence made Ryuzaki Sakura on the sidelines blush with shame, and bowed her head guiltily.

After all, she was the one who pointed the wrong way and caused Ryoma to be late.

Coach Ryuzaki discovered a piece of information from the conversation.

This boy is also like Longma, is he a player in the 16-year-old competition group? Judging from his just holding the ball, he looks like a good player, but I don't know who is better between him and Longma.

Coach Ryuzaki, who just had this thought, smiled and shook his head instantly.

He shouldn't be as good as Ryoma, after all Ryoma is that person's child.

As for Ping Zewei, what is he thinking about: what will he eat after Cheche wins?

Kitahara Toru didn't know what the three people on the sidelines were thinking, so he walked to the net with a smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have a general understanding of the strength of the opponents in today's game. Compared with them, I still think it is more interesting to play against you."

Having said all that, Echizen Ryoma stopped grumbling and let the racket hit the ground.

"which (which side)?"

"smooth (front)"

Echizen Ryoma spun the racket and let it fall freely.

"On the other hand, I'll serve first."

"Then I'll choose the venue here."

Kitahara Toru and Echizen Ryoma each walked to one side of the field, ready to start the game. Coach Ryuzaki on the sidelines watched Ryoma intently.

Just now Sasaki didn't force out Ryoma's strength at all, she wanted to see if she could learn more about Ryoma's strength.

I hope this boy can force Ryoma to use his full strength.

Kitahara Toru looked at Echizen Ryoma on the opposite side of the field, holding the racket with his right hand.

Right hand? Are you going to test my strength?

Kitahara Toru smiled, tightened the racket in his hand, bent his knees, and paid close attention to Ryoma's movements with his eyes.

Echizen Ryoma hit the ball casually on the ground and grabbed it, repeated several times, glanced at Toru Kitahara on the opposite side, and finally threw the tennis ball high, jumped with both feet, and when the ball flew to the highest point, swung it vigorously Slap out.

"Oh!"

Tsk tsk, isn't it an outspin serve?

As soon as the ball was released, Toru Kitahara knew that it was not an outspin serve.

Although the ball is fast, I'm sorry.

Toru Kitahara quickly moved to the point where the ball landed, and when the ball hit the ground, he led the racket, twisted his waist, and swung the racket in one go.

This is not enough to see in front of me!
"Oh!"

The tennis ball instantly turned into a yellow light, landed on Echizen Ryoma's baseline, and finally hit the guardrail.

So fast!

Echizen Ryoma looked at the ball marks on the baseline.

Exactly!

Coach Ryuzaki was also surprised by Toru Kitahara's strength.

This boy, I'm afraid it's not easy.

"Hey!"

Kitahara Toru's voice made Echizen Ryoma, who was still surprised, come back to his senses, and found that Kitahara Toru on the opposite court was looking at him with a smile.

Toru Kitahara had his racket on his shoulder.

"Did that ball go out of bounds?"

Although it was a question sentence, Toru Kitahara clearly knew that the ball was in bounds.

"0-15"

Echizen Ryoma said lightly, and walked to the left side of the court to prepare for the next attack.

Kitahara Toru smiled indifferently, just as he walked to the left side of the field, he seemed to think of something, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Hey!"

Kitahara Toru's sudden sound stopped Echizen Ryoma's pinball movements.

"If your strength is only like this."

Kitahara smiled lightly.

"Then you are still far behind."

Hearing these words, Echizen Ryoma's left hand holding the ball tightened instantly, his brows frowned, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

He was angry.

"Oh, interesting boy."

Coach Ryuzaki smiled. After many years of coaching, he couldn't see that Toru Kitahara was deliberately provoking Echizen Ryoma.

Is this kid trying to force out Ryoma's full strength?

So, do you have the strength to catch Ryoma's attack?

Echizen Ryoma bounced the tennis ball on the ground, tossed it high, jumped, and served again.

"Oh, is it an outspin serve?"

what!
Echizen Ryoma was taken aback, his outspinning serve was basically indistinguishable from an ordinary serve in terms of movement, but Kitahara Toru saw through his outspinning serve before the ball hit the ground.

"I can see the spin on your ball clearly!"

As Kitahara Toru said, he returned the outspin serve cleanly.

This is as it should be. Once the outspin serve loses its advantage of surprise, it is actually not difficult to hit back.

The tennis ball once again rushed out of the court pressing the bottom line on the right side of Ryoma.

"0-30"

Kitahara Toru said something with a smile, and then returned to his position to catch the ball.

Ryuzaki Sakurano saw that Echizen Ryoma's outspin serve had been cracked, and anxiously asked Ryuzaki coach on the side.

"What should I do grandma, Ryoma's trick has been cracked."

"Calm down, Sakura."

Coach Ryuzaki wasn't worried at all.

"Look at the boy Ryoma's eyes, is there a trace of wavering?"

Of course, Echizen Ryoma did not waver, on the contrary, he was quite excited.

"Unexpectedly, I met such an interesting opponent just after returning to China."

When Kitahara heard this, he smiled.

"Oh, it's great that I didn't disappoint you."

Echizen Ryoma said nothing, and walked to the serving line again, but this time, he held the racket with his left hand.

"Sakura, do you understand?"

"Grandma, Ryoma is left-handed."

Ryuzaki Sakura was very surprised.

"That's right, Echizen Ryoma, he's left-handed."

Echizen Ryoma held the racket with his left hand and pointed at Toru Kitahara from afar.

"Don't let me down too much."

Hmph, it's because you didn't disappoint me.

Toru Kitahara smiled in satisfaction. It turned out that the moment Echizen Ryoma switched the racket to his left hand, the system that had been silent in his mind for a year finally had another task.

[Defeat the zero-block left-handed Echizen Ryoma, reward: Spin ball technology improvement]

Tsk tsk, it should be said that it is worthy of being the protagonist, a big gift package will be given as soon as it appears, but zero seals are a bit too much.

Tennis matches use a set of six rounds, with one point for each round. The person who wins six rounds first wins. In each round, at least four balls must be played. Winning the first ball gets 15 points, and winning the second ball accumulates 30 points. Three goals total 40 points, and the fourth goal is the end.

Kitahara Toru looked at Echizen Ryoma and smiled, I'm sure about this reward!
Echizen Ryoma on the opposite side of the court keenly felt the change in Toru Kitahara's eyes, which became more competitive than before, but he did not notice the deepest sympathy in Toru Kitahara's eyes.
