I am in Prince of Tennis, others are training me while I am lying down

Taro Sakaki, who was standing next to the stadium, looked at Yanagi and Kirihara who didn't move at all, and his expression gradually improved.

This is Houchotaro's improved trick, the new heavy artillery serve.

The maximum speed can reach nearly 215km/h, and the success rate is almost %.

This is the result of Feng's training during this period.

Originally, Feng's heavy serve had a speed of about 190km/h, but there would be occasional mistakes. In the Kanto tournament, he relied on this serve to win the doubles team of Seigaku's Kaido Kaoru and Inui Sadaharu.

Now Feng's serve speed has increased again, and his accuracy has also greatly improved.

Just as Taro Sakaki had expected before the game, even the players from the champion Rikkai University could not easily catch the ball with a speed of over 210km/h.

As expected, Yanagi and Kirihara stood there without moving.

He didn't react at all!

A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Sakaki Taro's mouth.

……

Rikkai University rest area.

"What a quick serve!"

Sanada was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that someone in Hyotei could serve so quickly.

"Yeah, but Kirihara should be fine!"

Takahashi spoke.

……

On the playing field.

Yanagi Renji said, "How's it going, Kirihara?"

Kirihara said confidently, "Well, after watching the first ball, there's no problem."

"boom!"

Facing the rapidly bouncing tennis ball, Kirihara quickly moved his body, swung his racket at the left baseline, and pushed the tennis ball into the air.

The tennis ball moved towards the area between Meihu and Feng at a faster speed.

"Boom!"

"15-15!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

……

"how come?"

"How could Feng's new heavy artillery serve be cracked so quickly?"

"This second-year student from Rikkai University is so amazing."

Xiangri was surprised.

Oshitari's face darkened.

In the doubles team of Feng and Meido, the biggest killer move is Feng's serve.

Thanks to this serve with a speed of nearly 215km/h, their doubles team was able to squeeze out the doubles team composed of him and Xiangri and become the ace doubles team of Hyotei.

According to the coach's idea, Feng can score points by serving alone and keep her own serve in the game. All she has to do is wait for an opportunity to break her opponent's serve to win.

However, they didn't expect that the players from Rikkai University could return the ball after only seeing it once, and the angle of the returned tennis ball was particularly tricky, making it difficult for Meido and Feng to receive it.

The one who hit back at this goal was not one of the Big Three, Yanagi Renji, but a sophomore, Kirihara Akaya, who had been evenly matched with Hiyoshi Wakaba in the rookie tournament last year.

This speed of progress is too fast!

……

"Hahaha! This ball speed poses no threat to me at all."

Kirihara laughed.

This serve only has speed, but almost no power or spin.

As Kirihara's master, Takahashi's serve not only has speed, but also contains great power and complex rotation.

At the beginning, Kirihara had no reaction to Takahashi's serve at all. Later, after Takahashi appropriately reduced the speed and increased the strength, Kirihara gradually was able to react.

If it was the same 215km/h serve, Takahashi might have added complex spin and tricky angles. Even if Kirihara caught the trajectory of the tennis ball, it would have been difficult for him to react and successfully return the ball.

But that was only for Takahashi's serve.

Now facing Feng's serve which only had speed but no other connotations, Kirihara could not only capture the trajectory but also return it with a tricky angle.

This is like a student who studies Olympiad mathematics every day, and suddenly asks him to do ordinary math problems. The difficulty for him is greatly reduced.

It's easy, a piece of cake!

"Just use whatever tricks you have!"

Kirihara started to get arrogant.

"Snapped!"

Yanagi Renji tapped Kirihara lightly on the head with his tennis racket.

"Be quiet!"

……

"boom!"

……

"15-30!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

……

"boom!"

"15-40!"

……

"0-1!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

After Feng's serve was broken by Kirihara, Hyotei's doubles lost its biggest advantage and began to lose points frequently.

……

Rikkai University rest area.

"Kirhara has made great progress!"

Sanada nodded in satisfaction.

"Just a little, kind of quick serve is all."

"If he can't even do this, then he has wasted the time and energy we have spent on him."

Takahashi Road.

Sanada did not respond. He thought that Takahashi had indeed fulfilled his responsibilities as a master during this period of time.

I would take some time every day to instruct Kirihara and also give some pointers to other members.

He also brought back his training list from the U17 training camp.

Before he knew it, Takahashi had grown into an excellent and reliable minister.

And under Takahashi's guidance, Rikkai University's overall strength is growing rapidly again.

……

"boom!"

……

"boom!"

……

"2-0!"

"Rikkai University High School scores!"

After collecting data in the first round, Yanagi Renji's data tennis began to play a role.

Liu is always one step ahead and can accurately judge the landing point and trajectory of the tennis ball.

The combination of Meido and Feng had no power to resist Yanagi and Kirihara.

The score began to widen significantly.

"3-0!"

……

"4-0!"

……

"6-0!"

"The game is over, Rikkai University High School wins!"

……

"Next up is the singles match for number two, with Genichirō Sanada from Rikkai University High School taking on Yuushi Oshitari from Hyotei!"

……

Sakaki Taro narrowed his eyes and looked very serious.

There are too many strong players in Rikkai University. Even if the captain plays in the singles position No. 3, a strong player can still be arranged to play in the singles position No. 2.

And Hyotei can only rely on Atobe. Once Atobe plays in the singles position No. 3, the other singles positions will not be able to be filled by strong people of similar strength.

Although Hyotei is a strong school in Kanto, the gap between it and Rikkai University is too big.

Just as Taro Sakaki predicted, the game ended without any suspense.

Sanada defeated Oshitari 6-0, ending Hyotei's journey to the national tournament.

……

a few days later.

National tournament semi-finals.

The scene of the match between Rikkai University High School and Shitenhoji.

A group of people wearing yellow-green uniforms walked into the competition venue first.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that we would meet Rikkai University in the semi-finals of the national competition."

"We met Rikkai University in the finals last year."

“This is a real headache.”

Shitenhoji's coach Watanabe Osamu exclaimed.

"Ash said he had a headache. Is Rikkai University so difficult to deal with?"

A brisk voice sounded.

The person who made this voice was a short boy with red hair, Kintaro Toyama.

He is a freshman who joined Shitenhoji this year and a super star in the Kansai region. He has been playing tennis for less than half a year and has defeated many strong players in the Kansai region.

Department Director Shiraishi Kuranosuke patted Kintaro's head and said, "Last year we met Rikkai University in the finals, and they eliminated us in just three games.

"Last year's match was played in the order of doubles first and singles second. Even their No. 2 and No. 1 singles players didn't play, and we lost. Tell me, how strong are they?"

Kintaro was surprised and said, "Hey hey hey! Is it that amazing?"
