The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 196: The Suppression of the Son of God
The moment Seiichi Yukimura stood in front of the net, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

"Bagana! Rikkai University's first battle actually sent out the Son of God!!"

"The minister came out right from the start. Rikkai University's determination to win the championship three times in a row is really frightening!"

"I heard that he was sick last year and had to recuperate for a year. I wonder how much strength he has recovered now."

"Can Qingxue hold off this one? If they lose, their momentum will be suppressed."

"..."

Different from the shock and surprise on the faces of the spectators, the members of the eliminated teams had extremely solemn expressions at this moment.

Rikkai University's ambition to win the championship three times in a row made even those in the audience feel terrified and broke out in cold sweats.

"I didn't expect... that my opponent would be you. I thought it was your deputy minister?"

Fuji Shusuke forced himself to calm down and faced off against the legendary Buchou of Rikkai University in the third singles, which was something they had not expected at all when they discussed the order of appearance before the game.

Because according to the probability data given by Inui Sadaharu, the probability of Genichirō Sanada appearing in the third singles is 89%, while the probability of meeting Seiichi Yukimura is only 2%.

From the perspective of everyone in Seigaku, they all agreed that letting Fuji Shusuke face off against Sanada Genichirō was their best choice.

"Unfortunately, our military advisor has other arrangements for Sanada, so your opponent can only be me." Yukimura Seiichi said with a hint of meaning.

When Fuji Shusuke heard this, he suddenly thought of Inui Sadaharu's arrangement for Tezuka, and a bad thought flashed through his mind.

But he quickly put it out of his mind, because now he had to stay focused and couldn't be distracted by other things.

"It is my honor to fight against the Minister of Rikkai University..."

Fuji Shusuke answered seriously that he would not dare to be arrogant, because the title of Rikkai University president represented the pinnacle of junior high school tennis.

After a brief exchange between the two sides, the referee signaled the team to switch rackets. Yukimura Seiichi guessed the front side and won the right to serve.

Then, both sides stepped down from the net and came to their respective positions, waiting for the next instructions.

"The game begins, Rikkai Daiyukimura versus Seigakuen Fuji."

"End of set, Yukimura serves."

The referee's call came after 2 minutes, which also meant that the game officially started.

At the baseline of Rikkai University, Seiichi Yukimura didn't make any fancy moves. He simply threw the tennis ball and then swung the racket.

砰

As the loud sound of the ball hitting the ball was heard, Fuji Shusuke felt a flash before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, the tennis ball had fallen at his feet.

Fuji Shusuke swung the racket reflexively and hurriedly caught the tennis ball.

While hitting the tennis ball back, he felt extremely scared because he almost couldn't hit the ball back.

His eyes, which were originally narrowed, opened completely after this goal, and his eyes were full of solemnity.

Seiichi Yukimura felt heavy pressure just from playing basic tennis.

boom…

15 is better than 0
boom…

30 is better than 0
boom…

40 is better than 0
……

Just a few minutes into the first round, Fuji Shusuke, who was trying to test the waters, soon realized that something was wrong.

He made a horrifying discovery that the basic skills of both parties were completely on a different level.

Because even though he had some tentative thoughts in his mind, it didn't mean he didn't try his best.

Apart from not using his own basketball skills, Fuji Shusuke no longer hid any of his strengths.

But even so, in the ball-pulling match between the two sides, Fuji Shusuke is often the completely passive party, like a puppet chasing the tennis ball according to the opponent's rhythm.

This phenomenon also made him realize that if he didn't make any moves, he would be no match for the opponent. In the same basic tennis match, the pressure from Yukimura Seiichi was far greater than that from Shiraishi Kuranosuke in the semi-finals.

"I can't go on like this..."

Thinking of this, Fuji Shusuke's eyes narrowed. He knew that he had to change his tactics, otherwise when this ball was over, the first game would also be over.

At this moment, a tennis ball flew in from Rikkai University's half of the court. It was a flat ball with a little spin on it.

Without hesitation, he chased the tennis ball before it hit the ground. While swinging the racket, Fuji Shusuke lowered the angle of the racket with his arm and cut down with his forehand towards the return ball.

砰

The tennis ball returned at a very low angle and as it passed through the net, the spinning tennis ball suddenly began to fall prematurely.

One of the three counterattacks, Phoenix Flash Back.

"The spin on the tennis ball has been changed."

Looking at the tennis ball falling rapidly over the net, Seiichi Yukimura immediately spotted the abnormality in the rotation of the return ball.

He made a judgment in an instant and took a few steps to the back of the point where the tennis ball would land, but he did not make any intercepting movement. Instead, he seemed to be deliberately waiting for the tennis ball to land.

The next second, the tennis ball fell to the ground, and instead of bouncing normally, it slid along the ground.

"Interesting technique, but with a big flaw."

Seeing the tennis ball about to slide past his side, Yukimura Seiichi stretched out his racket and hit the tennis ball with the top of the racket.

The tennis ball was hit back at an oblique angle and landed on the sideline of Fuji Shusuke's backhand and went straight out of the court.

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

The referee's voice sounded, announcing the result of the first game.

Without any unnecessary movements, Seiichi Yukimura won the first game cleanly.

"Fuji's Phoenix Flashback was directly defeated. The power of the Son of God is truly terrifying."

In the Qingxue team, Inui Sadaharu saw this scene and spoke in a heavy tone.

"Fuji is obviously stronger than he was in the semi-finals, but he was still suppressed like this in the first game..."

Oishi and others knew clearly that at this moment, Fuji Shusuke's strength had reached a level comparable to that of the Minister of Shitenhoji after his last breakthrough.

But even so, he was still easily suppressed by Yukimura Seiichi and was unable to fight back.

The gap between the two sides is visible to the naked eye.

But everyone in Seigaku still chose to believe in Fuji Shusuke because he was a genius who could create miracles.

In Qingxue's half.

Seeing that his Phoenix Flash was still hit back even after successfully landing, Fuji Shusuke couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"Even with a skill like Phoenix Flash, can you find a way to counterattack in one go..."

After taking a deep breath, Fuji Shusuke had a deeper impression of the strength of the minister of Rikkai University in front of him.

Being able to hit back the Phoenix Flash meant that the other two of his new triple counterattacks were unlikely to be able to gain an advantage at the opponent's hands.

In this way, his trump cards are equivalent to being reduced by nearly half, which is definitely a very bad situation for Fuji Shusuke.

After the first game, the two sides exchanged venues. His cloak-like coat fluttered with his light steps, and Seiichi Yukimura leisurely stood in the receiving area for the next round.

Fuji Shusuke looked at the calm appearance of the other party, and the strength of his palm holding the racket could not help but increase a little.

He knew in his heart that he had to make the first move in this round, otherwise only slow death would await him.

Without any hesitation, he threw the tennis ball high into the air, and Fuji Shusuke's blue eyes flashed.

For the sake of Qingxue, he has to give it a try.
