The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 162: Guiding Sanada and Training Marui

After Kirihara Akaya's little episode ended, the two returned to the club and saw Sanada and others who had already started practicing attentively as soon as they entered the venue.

In one venue, the combination of Niou and Yagyu was having a practice match with the combination of Marui and Yanagi Renji.

Unlike formal occasions where scores are recorded, both sides attack at full speed with unlimited firepower.

In another venue, there was a tennis ball launching machine opposite Genichirō Sanada, and he was honing his tennis skills alone.

After hearing footsteps coming from the distant door, people in the two venues stopped and turned their eyes.

After seeing that it was Yuki and Kirihara, he let down his guard and continued training.

"You go warm up first." Maya Yuuki said to Akaya Kirihara. The latter nodded, immediately put his tennis bag on the vacant seat, changed into equipment and started warming up.

As for Maya Yuuki herself, she slowly walked to the court where Sanada was, stopped at the edge of the court and observed the other party.

After a while, after a round of training ended, Genichirō Sanada took a short break, went outside the court, took a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Sanada, I have a suggestion."

Maya Yuuki walked up to the other person and spoke as he drank water.

He paused for a moment after drinking the water, then took a few sips of water, put down the cup, and said seriously, "Tell me, as long as there is something that needs to be corrected, I will completely overcome it."

"It's not that it needs to be corrected, but I think the speed of the ball fired by the ball machine can be faster, and now you shouldn't just practice with a ball machine."

Maya Yuuki told Sanada his idea, and the latter's face froze and he looked at him in confusion.

"I have set the launcher to 210 km/h. If I try to catch two balls that are faster than this speed at the same time, I won't be able to hit them all back in time."

After a preliminary rehearsal in his mind, Genichirō Sanada told him his conclusion.

"Sanada, you won't know unless you try."

Maya Yuuki corrected the other party's idea and walked to the other side of the court. She set up three more machines on the original basis and adjusted the launch speed to 3 yards per hour.

Then, he preset the countdown time for the launch, took the opponent's racket and stood where Sanada had stood before.

The countdown ended, and four serving machines shot out tennis balls at the same time, and Maya Yuuki swung the racket casually.

Bang bang bang.

Under Sanada's incredulous eyes, the racket in Yuuki Maya's hand seemed to split into four and hit back the four flying tennis balls at the same time.

“Never set limits for yourself easily. Your limits are far from this.”

After stuffing the racket back into the hands of the still dazed Sanada, he patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Is this all your current strength?" After coming back to his senses, Sanada looked at Yuki with some shock and asked.

"of course not."

Maya Yuuki shook her head in denial. They had only just started.

"Is that so...it seems I need to train even harder."

Sanada's eyes suddenly emitted a scorching light. Yuuki Maya's words woke him up. He was far from reaching the end of his tennis journey.

Thinking of this, without even taking a rest, Genichirō Sanada immediately walked into the venue and started a new round of training.

"Let's start with two machines..."

Without feeling any shock, Genichirō Sanada only had the determination to become stronger.

On this side, seeing Sanada Genichirō immediately devoted himself to training after his guidance, Yuuki Maya stopped bothering him. Coincidentally, the other side of the field also stopped to rest, and both doubles teams were sweating profusely and replenishing their water.

"Huhu, you stinky fox, it seems like we won more goals just now." After putting down his water cup, Marui Bunta said with a little pride.

"Pfft, how come I remember that most of the balls were scored by Liu? It seems that you haven't scored as many points as me." Niou Masaharu argued.

"So what? This is a doubles match, and the partner's strength is also part of the overall strength." Marui Fumita had long been accustomed to Nioh's hidden meanings in his words and was not easily provoked.

"Tsk, Marui, I find that your face is getting thicker and thicker!" Niou Masaharu immediately mocked him when he saw that his little plan did not work.

After the two stopped practicing, they didn't stop talking.

Instead, Yanagi Renji and Yagyu Hiroshi were discussing the details of the doubles match that had just occurred.

"Yagyu, there were several flaws in your movement in the second half just now..." Yanagi Renji slowly stated the problems he saw.

"Hmm, so that's how it is. I didn't notice it. I have the same problem here. There are also loopholes in the positions that Marui Bunta and you just switched. They happened in..."

The serious communication between the top students formed a sharp contrast with the two noisy people on the other side.

Yuuki Maya walked over calmly, without disturbing the two people who were concentrating on the discussion. Instead, she smiled at Niou and Marui and said, "Are you two going to waste all your energy on quarreling?"

"It's this fellow Niou who's saying some irritating things again."

When he saw Maya Yuuki coming over, Marui Bunta said angrily as if he was telling tales.

"Pfft, it was obviously you who started it." Niou Masaharu replied unyieldingly.

Maya Yuuki smiled slightly. He was already used to the bickering between the two.

"Marui, did you try what I told you before?" Yuuki Maya asked about the situation.

What he was talking about was what he had mentioned to Marui Bunta during the spring break, asking him to try practicing some frontcourt defensive techniques.

"Yes, but I feel like practicing alone doesn't seem to have much effect." Marui Bunta raised the difficulties he encountered during practice.

"I see. That's true..."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki Maya pondered for a moment.

He actually neglected this point. It is indeed as Marui Bunta said, defensive techniques are different from offensive techniques. They can be practiced separately and achieve results.

Good defense requires a lot of ball feeding, and one person alone cannot develop any great skills.

The reason why he wanted to stimulate Marui's potential in advance was naturally to prepare for the future.

"How about this, Marui? Let Kirihara take your place later. I will be the one practicing defense with you for the whole day today."

With a plan in mind, Maya Yuuki decided to give Marui Bunta a push himself to accelerate his growth.

"Well, it doesn't have to be that troublesome...Okay, no problem."

Marui Bunta didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Practicing with Yuuki Maya was something that even the regular candidates of Rikkai University would turn pale at the mention of it.

Because the other regulars could remember clearly the look of Kirihara Akaya collapsing on the ground with lifeless eyes after each sparring match.

But looking at Yuuki Maya's serious attitude, Marui Bunta knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to agree reluctantly.

Seeing this, Niou Masaharu, who was standing by, wanted to laugh out of gloating, but when he thought about how he would be dragged into sparring if he laughed, he had to grit his teeth and hold back his laughter.
