The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 114 "Your shortcoming is that you have no advantages"

Toss the ball, draw the racket, and swing.

Maya Yuuki simply hit an ordinary serve.

砰

As the sound of the ball hitting the target came, the tennis ball turned into a shadow and flashed across the court like a meteor, and in an instant it arrived at Shiraishi's feet.

This ball was just plain and fast.

Bai Shi was startled. Even though he was mentally prepared, his body was still a beat slow. When he stretched out the racket, the tennis ball had already flown out of the court from behind him.

"Yuuki scores, 15 to 0"

As soon as he made a move, the first ball was an ace.

"It's still the same serve that's so fast that it's hard for people to react to it." Niou Masaharu couldn't help sighing after seeing this scene off the court.

He was leaning his whole body against the seat. As the next person to play, he had even put his racket into his tennis bag.

Not only him, but other people around Niou were also packing their belongings. However, since he had fewer things, he sat down first to watch the game.

Inside the stadium.

Maya Yuuki served again, and just like before, it was still a normal serve.

This time, Shiraishi Kuranosuke reacted in time. He found the receiving point the moment the tennis ball hit the ground and bounced back, and successfully hit back the serve.

After the tennis ball was hit back, it quickly flew back to Yuki's half of the court.

After receiving the serve, Shiraishi left the baseline without any delay and moved forward with his hips.

The return ball landed in the front court of Yuuki Maya, but before it hit the ground, he had already arrived in front of the landing point and intercepted the tennis ball.

Without giving the tennis ball a chance to fall to the ground, Maya Yuuki adjusted the angle of the racket, raised it and swung it.

嗖

The tennis ball that was hit suddenly changed direction and flew towards the diagonal sideline of Shiraishi's half.

He was aiming at Shiraishi's backhand position.

The return ball was so straight and fast that Shiraishi Kuranosuke had to increase his running speed to catch up.

His movements were efficient, without any unnecessary details, and he raised his arm and swung his hand back decisively, just like in a textbook.

The tennis ball that was originally flying diagonally was not hit back along its original path, but its path became parallel to the direction of the sideline.

Judging from the posture of this return ball, Shiraishi's intention is to let the tennis ball fall into the bottom corner along the sideline.

However, this little trick is ineffective against Yuuki Maya.

The moment Shiraishi returned the ball, he had already judged where the opponent would hit the tennis ball.

砰

砰

砰

……

The situation on the court looked like a competition of basic tennis skills.

The audience thought that, looking at the current situation, there would be a fierce confrontation between the two sides.

However, as soon as this thought came to their mind, it quickly disappeared as the game progressed.

After just over ten balls back and forth, the rapid sound of the ball hitting stopped abruptly.

Maya Yuuki hit a smash that hit Shiraishi's back so fast that the latter had no way to remedy the situation and unfortunately lost the point.

"Yuuki scores, 30 to 0"

Maya Yuuki scored another goal, extending her lead in the first game to 2 goals.

Then, he returned to the baseline to serve again.
……

Inside the stadium, in a corner of the audience seats, inside the Qingxue team.

"The guy at Shitenhoji is also amazing. Every one of his ball returns looks concise and efficient. It feels like it was born naturally. It's like reading a tennis textbook."

After watching the two players' match on the court, Fuji Shusuke felt that the playing style of the player from Shitenhoji made him feel particularly comfortable.

"Tezuka, what do you think is the chance that Shiraishi will win?" Different from Fuji Shusuke's perspective, Inui Sadaharu was more concerned about the strength comparison between the two sides.

Kunimitsu Tezuka did not respond to Inui Sadaharu's words, but just shook his head to show his attitude.

"I see. In other words, there is no comparability..." Inui Sadaharu silently made a note in his notes.

No matter what happens outside the field, it will not have any impact on the two people fighting.

The second half of the first game was not much different from the previous one. Although Shiraishi was able to receive Yuuki Maya's serve, the gap in hard power made it difficult for him to gain an advantage in the attack.

They were steadily suppressed by Maya Yuuki throughout the game, and were often caught in opportunities and lost points after a dozen balls.

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

A few minutes later, the first round ended and Yuuki Maya won without any surprise.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke calmed down his slightly rapid breathing, looked deeply at Yuuki Maya and thought to himself: "This guy's strength is stronger than I expected."

Shiraishi knew that this battle would be difficult, after all, in his head-to-head record, he had won against Kunimitsu Tezuka, who had defeated him before.

But after the actual fight, he felt more deeply that he was a more difficult opponent to deal with than Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Without giving Shiraishi more time to think, after a short break, the second game began.

After taking a deep breath, Shiraishi hit a serve with a seemingly graceful movement.

It's a very ordinary serve, but it makes people feel some beauty.

But a normal serve is just a normal serve.

In Maya Yuuki's eyes, this serve had neither excellent speed nor superb rotation, nor did it contain any eye-catching power. The best way to describe it was to say that it was mediocre.

He casually swung the racket back and the second round of confrontation began again.

boom……

0 is better than 15
boom……

0 is better than 30
boom……

0 is better than 40
boom……

"Game, Rikkai University Yuuki is leading, score 2-0"

In less than ten minutes, the result of the second game came out.

There was not much difference compared to the first game. Maya Yuuki easily broke Shiraishi's serve and successfully won the second point.

On the court, after losing two points in a row, Shiraishi's face became solemn.

His eyes inadvertently looked at the bandage on his arm, and a look of struggle flashed in his eyes.

However, as if he had thought of something, he immediately shook his head and gave up the idea.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Shi's aura suddenly rose and a resolute expression appeared on his face.

Shiraishi's subtle changes naturally did not escape Maya Yuuki's eyes, but he did not guess too much about the other party's thoughts because there was no need to.

He threw the tennis ball up again and swung the racket in his hand.

砰

The tennis ball hit the target, marking the beginning of the third game.

On the opposite side, as soon as Yuuki Maya's serve landed, Shiraishi quickly returned the ball, and the speed of his racket swing was much faster than before.

The tennis ball flew back in the blink of an eye and landed in the backcourt of Maya Yuuki.

From the changes in this ball, it can be seen that Shiraishi's competitive state is better than the previous two games.

Not only the speed of the return ball, but also the power has been improved.

But this was not enough and still posed no threat to him.

bang, bang, bang...

Another round of fighting begins.

In this round, Shiraishi lost points much slower, but still did not score any points.

Shiraishi, who lacked any means to break the deadlock, could not score a single point against Maya Yuuki just by relying on his style of playing that adhered to basic tennis.

Because whether it is speed, strength or skill, Yuuki Maya surrounds Shiraishi in all aspects.

"Game, Rikkai University Yuuki is leading, score 3-0"

The referee announced the score again, and the winner of the third round was decided.

The two sides exchanged places. As they passed each other, Yuuki Maya suddenly said, "Do you know what your weakness in tennis is?"

"What?!" After hearing this, Shiraishi Kuranosuke paused and subconsciously turned to look at Yuuki Maya.

Yuuki Maya looked at Shiraishi's bewildered expression and said expressionlessly: "Let me tell you, the shortcoming of your tennis is——"

"Your tennis has no merit."
