The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 178 Friends kill each other, data battle

Within the Qingxue team, two figures walked out from the front and back.

"The information is ready, let's go, Haitang." Inui Sadaharu calmly led the way into the stadium.

"Hiss."

Kaidou Kaoru did not respond directly, but her body reacted in time and followed the other person.

"I hope Qian and Haitang won't feel too much pressure..."

Fuji Shusuke looked at the two people's backs and felt inexplicably worried.

On the other side, two people from Rikkai University also walked out at the same time. In this second doubles match, they sent out Marui Bunta and Yanagi Renji.

When both sides stood in front of their respective nets, Inui Sadaharu saw his opponent and his face was full of melancholy: "I didn't expect that my opponent would be you, Renji..."

"Four years and two months, this is the time since we last appeared on the court together, but now, we are no longer partners, but enemies."

Yanagi Renji, on the other hand, showed no special emotions, and his tone remained calm.

"Of course, but now, the time has come..." Inui Sadaharu was about to respond slowly, but was interrupted by Yanagi Renji.

"The time is ripe, this is what you want to say." Yanagi Renji narrowed his eyes and calmly predicted what Inui Sadaharu was about to say.

"...You still understand me so well." After adjusting his glasses, Inui Sadaharu sighed.

"Even if he is an old friend, I will not show mercy." Yanagi Renji's tone remained indifferent.

"Of course, that's just what I wanted." Inui Sadaharu did not feel that the other party was unkind, because on the court, there were only teammates and opponents.

And now, they are rivals.

Marui Bunta and Kaidou Kaoru, their respective teammates, did not intervene in the conversation between the former friends, but watched silently.

Then the guessing of heads and tails ended, and Qingxue got the first game.

"The match begins, the set ends, and Qingxue serves."

The referee announced loudly and both sides returned to their corresponding positions.

At the baseline, after Inui Sadaharu prepared to serve, he muttered, "Renji, I will win this match!"

At the same time, Yanagi Renji, who was standing in the receiving area, seemed to have a telepathic connection and muttered, "At a time like this, you will definitely say "I will win."

砰

Inui Sadaharu's swing of the racket had ended, and at the same time, the tennis ball he hit had already arrived in front of Yanagi Renji at a high speed in the blink of an eye.

"Um?!"

Although Yanagi Renji reacted and swung his racket to hit the tennis ball back, he was in a hurry and the angle of the return ball was very bad.

"15 to 0."

The tennis ball hit the net and fell, and Inui Sadaharu scored directly from the serve.

"Sadaharu, I didn't expect you to have retained some strength before. Are you trying to mess up my data?"

Yanagi Renji's expression did not show any surprise. Even though the opponent's shot was stronger in power and speed than what his data showed, it was only slightly stronger and was within the predictable range.

"The second ball..."

Inui Sadaharu ignored it and continued to make the move to serve the next ball.

Still serving at high speed, but this time, it could no longer achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

Marui Bunta's eyes had already been locked on the path of the flying tennis ball. He raised his arm and hit back the tennis ball, which seemed to be flying at an extremely fast speed in the eyes of others.

"He actually caught Senior Qian's high-speed serve in one go! Is this a lie?!"

The three Qingxue heroes outside the court were shocked. The opponent easily hit the ball back at a speed that was almost invisible to them on the second try.

On this side, when seeing his serve being hit back, Inui Sadaharu looked calm, because he had expected it and did not include scoring by direct serve in his predictions.

While seeing Marui Bunta swinging his racket, Inui Sadaharu whispered, "The angle of the ball is low, it should be around 30 degrees." As he finished speaking, the situation on the court was just as he said. Marui Bunta's return ball was at a very low angle and went straight towards the backcourt of Seigaku.

In the backcourt, Sadaharu Inui immediately arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball and raised his arms to prepare to catch the ball.

"With this posture, the probability of hitting the ball to the left front court is 82%. I can intercept it in advance and then play a short ball." After watching the opponent's movements, Yanagi Renji made an inference immediately.

However, the direction of the next ball was not as Yanagi Renji had guessed. Inui Sadaharu's tennis ball did not hit to the left, but went directly to the empty position in front.

The ball flew back at high speed and exploded between Yanagi Renji and Marui Bunta, then landed quickly for the second time.

"You're going to think I'm going to hit it to the left and you're going to get in position and hit it short at the net, but I'm not going to let you do that."

After seeing a successful shot, Inui Sadaharu put down his racket and murmured softly.

The calculation of this ball was his win.

"30 to 0."

When the spectators saw that Qingxue was actually two goals ahead, they couldn't help but sigh.

They didn't expect that Qingxue would have the upper hand at the beginning of the game.

Inui Sadaharu served again and the two sides started to fight back and forth again.

bang bang bang...

"Game, Qingxue scores, the score is 1-0."

At the end of the first game, to everyone's surprise, Qingxue took the lead.

"Wow! So awesome!"

"Senior Qian's data tennis is simply impeccable!!"

The support group of Seigaku was all beaming with joy after seeing the heroic performance of Inui Sadaharu.

"His strength has reached a new level. I have seen a belief in victory in Qian."

Fuji Shusuke looked at the other person with gratified eyes. As a teammate who had worked together for three years, he had always known that Inui Sadaharu had been training hard every day since he joined the tennis club.

After both sides of the field, the game continued.

At this moment, Rikkai University, which lost one point first, did not show any impatience at all, as if it did not care about the gain or loss of this point.

"Hiss... I always have a bad feeling."

In the audience seats at the back of Seigaku's preparation area, Sengoku Kiyomizu, who came to cheer for Seigaku, looked at the group of people from Rikkai University from afar and noticed something unusual from their calm attitude.

His lucky intuition told him that Qingxue would encounter misfortune in the next game.

On the court, the second game begins.

Marui Bunta didn't do anything slow and served the tennis ball cleanly and neatly.

It was a very ordinary serve, and Kaidou Kaoru on the other side caught it steadily, and the tug of war continued.

"With this low backhand pull, the probability of a slice is less than 6%, so it should be a drive."

During the confrontation, Inui Sadaharu observed Yanagi Renji's movements and predicted the path of his ball.

However, when Yanagi Renji hit the ball back, the ball sank quickly after passing the net, which was not the rotation that a driven ball should have.

"What?! It's actually a quick cut ball!" Inui Sadaharu was surprised, obviously not expecting it to be like this.

"Rikkai University scores, 15 to 0."

After scoring, Yanagi Renji stood up and said calmly, "It's impossible to hit a slice with such a low pull..."

"That's probably what you were thinking just now."
