Tennis: one step ahead

For this, Hakuri Hiiragi doesn't care.

Temporary strength does not mean eternity.

With a golden finger by his side, he never worried about his future.

As for the games in the stadium....

Hiiragi looked around the crowd at night and noticed that many of the people who had been cheering for the French Under-17 team had now died down.

On the other hand, the cheering of the neon U-17 team is wave after wave.

Even the audience, who is relatively less professional, has a clear judgment on the strength and weakness of Byodoin Phoenix and Duke Watanabe.

Is there any suspense about the outcome of the game?

......

Inside the stadium.

"Pirates of the United States. "

Bang.

The

tennis ball is once again doppelgänger, looming over Duke Watanabe's place.

"This trick didn't work for me. "

After

conceding three goals in a row, Duke Watanabe finally got used to the Pirates of Byodoin Phoenix.

He moved at high speed in a small area, and his racket swung the afterimage of his debut, stopping the tennis ball without missing a beat.

Bang.

The illusory shadows were gone, and the real tennis ball flew back upside down.

"Really?".

The pirate of the United States was cracked by Duke Watanabe, and the Phoenix of Byodoin was only slightly surprised, and his expression was still flat.

There are more than two of his world's ball skills.

"Then try a new one, India, snake charmer. "

The phoenix swings its arm and draws a strange trajectory.

It's like an experienced snake tricker, dangerous and nimble like a poisonous snake, and he can only be left to play.

And the "snake" that the Byodoin Phoenix is going to play with now is the tennis played by Duke Watanabe.

When the tennis ball is approaching, his racket is just right in front of him.

Bang.

The tennis ball slammed into the racket and bounced back.

"What?".

The returning tennis ball seemed to have turned into a snake, flickering left and right, drifting erratically.

Duke Watanabe couldn't catch the ball and didn't dare to swing the racket.

In a swaying moment, the tennis ball was already in front of him.

At this point, the opportunity was missed long ago, and it was too late to return the ball.

In desperation, Duke Watanabe had to turn sideways and let the tennis ball pass.

Bang.

"GAME, Byodoin Phoenix, 4-1. "

The referee reports the score.

At the end of the fifth inning, the two sides exchanged venues.

......

Off the court.

Hiiragi Hakuri focused on Duke Watanabe and found that his face was very unsightly, as if he was on the verge of an outburst.

Seeing this, a trace of anticipation rose in Hakuri Hiiragi's heart.

I don't know if Duke Watanabe can force out the light shot of the Byodoin Phoenix.

Light hitting the ball is the signature move of the Phoenix of Byodoin, and I always feel a little lacking if I don't see it.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

0-15。

0-30。

Under the expectant gaze of Hakuri Hiiragi, the sixth game kicked off.

Byodoin Phoenix seemed to have the intention of ending the game, and deliberately increased the tempo.

Duke Watanabe serves, and he responds with an Indian snake charmer.

Such tactics made Duke Watanabe miserable, and there was no room for his strength to be played.

Thankfully, after two goals, he barely managed to figure out the Indian snake charmer's path.

It was at this time that Duke Watanabe's grievances and accumulated anger suddenly exploded.

"Duke hit a home run. "

Bang.

A

strong air current blew away the dust around Duke Watanabe, and the tennis ball was like a sharp arrow that broke through the air, and struck the Byodoin Phoenix with an unusually sharp whistling sound.

"This is your strongest ball. "

In

the five rounds of fierce battles, the Phoenix of Byodoin has figured out the strength of Duke Watanabe.

His assessment is that it is not weak.

Duke Home Run in a state of explosive clothes is even more amazing.

Byodoin Phoenix knew that Duke Watanabe had poured most of his energy into the ball, trying to make it work.

If it were to be defeated, it would be fatal for Duke Watanabe.

"In that case, you can stop here. "

The dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed, illuminating most of the court, like the sun at noon, and it was impossible to look at it directly.

The racket of the right hand of the Phoenix of Byodoin moved behind him, and his left hand reached forward, and the whole thing was shrouded in golden light.

"Destruction. "

Bang.

The

tennis ball was covered with a layer of golden light, as if tearing through the air, bringing a coherent screeching sound.

Through the light, it was faintly visible that the ball was swaying as it was moving forward, and there were signs of loss of control.

Although the ball is a little shaky, the goal is unusually determined.

Duke Watanabe.

"Light, ball of light?".

At this moment, Duke Watanabe's eyes were only on the rapidly approaching golden tennis ball, and nothing else.

At a distance, the fierce wind that came to his face made his skin feel a tingling pain.

Duke Watanabe really can't imagine how powerful the Phoenix move of the Byodoin Temple is.

Crunch.

With his

body lowering his center of gravity, Duke Watanabe gripped the racket with both hands, his gaze more solemn than ever.

The growing sense of crisis in his heart told him that the ball of light was not trivial, and he must not slack off in the slightest.

Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Shout.

By the time Duke Watanabe was ready, the golden light was already approaching.

Tennis, here.

"Drink. "

Duke Watanabe let out a loud shout and built momentum for himself.

At the same time, he gathered all his strength to swing the racket and catch up with the tennis.
