The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 64: The trick is useless, and Bu Er is powerless to save the situation
On the field, the atmosphere at Qingxue, which had taken the lead by two goals, was even more depressing than before.

Fuji Shusuke served again, still with the same low serve as before.

This time, Niou Masaharu did not prepare for the hitting action in advance, but like Yagyu Hiroshi, he waited until the tennis ball landed and then took a step back slightly.

“I see.”

Niou Masaharu's pupils shrank, and his vision caught the flight path of the "disappeared" tennis ball.

He quickly moved sideways a few steps, caught up with the tennis ball that was about to fall to the ground, then he took a stance, raised the racket, pressed it down, and hit the tennis ball back.

On just the third ball, Fuji Shusuke's disappearing serve was directly broken by Niou Masaharu.

The returned tennis ball quickly shot towards the unguarded front court in the right half of the field. Inui Sadaharu anticipated this and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his racket to block and received the return ball.

However, the hasty return resulted in the poor quality of the flying tennis ball, which lost its speed and most of its rotation, and was easily caught by Yagyu Hiroshi.

"Your teamwork is full of loopholes." Yagyu Hiroshi commented the moment he received the ball.

The tennis ball he caught suddenly accelerated and turned back, penetrating the blind spot of Qingxue's defense.

"30 to 15, Rikkai University scores."

Ignoring the tennis ball that had already flown out of bounds, Inui Sadaharu retracted his action of catching the ball and walked to Fuji Shusuke's side and said in a deep voice, "Fuji, it's a bit difficult to collect their data."

"Leave it to me, I will help you." Fuji Shusuke nodded heavily in response.

Only after a real match can you understand what kind of mood the players who played against Rikkai University were in.

The skills that he practiced so hard for were broken by a few balls before he could even win a game. This kind of pressure is not something that ordinary players can bear.

But the more this happens, the more Fuji Shusuke will not back down.

bang, bang, bang...

30-30
30-40
0-2
Seigaku's serve was broken cleanly, and Rikkai University won the second game in just 4 minutes.

"Why do I feel that... Senior Fuji and his friends are having a harder time than Senior Oishi and his friends?!" In the audience, Momoshiro Takeshi looked at the situation in the arena with a puzzled look.

In his heart, it was obvious that seniors Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu were stronger than the previous seniors Oishi Shuichiro and Kikumaru Eiji.

But how come we are losing points faster than before? It is clear that the two seniors in the previous game were able to fight back and forth with the opponent at least in the beginning.

"Idiot, haven't you figured it out yet?" Kaidou Xun on the side mocked speechlessly.

"You stinky snake, then why don't you answer me why?" Momoshiro Takeshi asked angrily.

"Idiot, that's because the opponent didn't play seriously in the last game, and now Senior Fuji and the others are facing an opponent that is in a serious state." Kaidou Kaoru glared at Momoshiro Takeshi and shouted.

"You, how can you be sure..." Momoshiro Takeshi was startled by the other party's roar.

"Hiss - it's my intuition." Kaidou Kaoru didn't look at Momoshiro Takeshi again, but stared at the side of Rikkai University in the stadium.

In the previous game, according to his intuition, the two people from Rikkai University did not sense any danger at all throughout the whole game.

But in this game, as soon as that pair appeared on the stage, his snake-like intuition immediately sounded a danger alarm.

……

Inside the stadium, the game is still going on.

The speed of score change has been increasing one-sidedly since the second game.

Before I knew it, it was already the end of the fourth inning.

砰

Inui Sadaharu was careless in receiving the ball and was forced to hit a poor quality lob ball back by the high-speed flat ball hit back by Yagyu Hiroshi.

His original intention was to slow down the opponent's fast break rhythm, but when he swung the racket, he failed to adjust the angle to the best direction.

This flaw was instantly caught by Niou Masaharu who was standing in the backcourt. He took two steps, bent his knees slightly, and pushed off the ground with his right leg to jump.

The tennis ball in mid-air had not even dropped much when he caught up with it.

Boom!
The dull sound of the racket string colliding with the tennis ball was heard, and Niou Masaharu's violent smash from top to bottom caused the tennis ball in mid-air to fall rapidly like a cannonball.

"Good opportunity!" A gleam of light flashed in Fuji Shusuke's pupils. He instantly predicted the landing point of the tennis ball in his mind. He used his waist as the axis to exert force while rotating his body and squatting down. The racket in his hand drew an arc and accurately blocked the fierce smash with the racket face.

The intercepted tennis ball suddenly flew high up and turned back, drawing an exaggerated parabola in the air, and then fell towards the baseline of Rikkai University.

Brown bear caught
At this critical moment, Fuji Shusuke used his triple counterattack to resolve Niou Masaharu's killing shot.

"Oh?! Is this the so-called triple counterattack where the brown bear is caught?" A voice came from Rikkai University.

"what?!"

Fuji Shusuke suddenly turned around and saw that behind the baseline of Rikkai University, Yagyu Hiroshi had been standing there without him noticing.

"It's a good skill indeed, but have you forgotten that this is a doubles match?"

At this time, Yagyu Hiroshi held the racket with both hands above his head and made a posture like playing golf.

Seeing that the tennis ball had reached Hirosuke's calf, he swung his racket and hit the tennis ball with the head of the racket as if playing golf.

唰

The tennis ball instantly penetrated the entire court like a yellow beam of light, landed in the empty space in the backcourt of Qingxue and flew out of bounds.

"Rikkai University scores, the score is 4 to 0."

After the referee confirmed that the score was valid, he announced the result.

huh, huh, huh...

Fuji Shusuke slowly stood up, his chest heaving rapidly. His physical strength was consumed quickly during these four games.

Inui Sadaharu approached from the side, his expression serious.

"I'm sorry, my data progress is too slow, maybe..."

"It's okay, Qian, just do your best, I can still hold on for a few more rounds."

Fuji Shusuke pretended to be calm when speaking, but he knew in his heart that the situation was not optimistic.

The doubles teamwork between Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi on the opposite side was too tacit, and the wave after wave of fast breaks left him and Inui Sadaharu no time to cope with them.

In Rikkai University's preparation area, after seeing the end of the fourth game, Yuuki Maya slowly stood up and picked up the racket from her tennis bag.

"Oh, where are you going, Senior Yuki?" Kirihara Akaya asked in surprise after noticing his movements.

"Stupid Kirihara, do you even need to ask? Of course we're going to warm up." Marui Bunta pressed his hand on Kirihara Akaya's head and answered for Yuuki Maya.

"Well, what Bunta said is right. This game will be over in about ten minutes. I'm going to go out and warm up."

Maya Yuuki said calmly. In his eyes, there would not be any suspense in the first doubles match and it would not be long before he took the court.

"Do you want me to warm up with you, Yuuki?" Marui Bunta volunteered.

"No, I'll be back soon."

Maya Yuuki waved her hand to reject Marui Bunta's kindness, then turned around and left the preparation area holding her racket.

Across the street, in the preparation area of ​​​​Seigaku, Tezuka Kunimitsu noticed the movements of Yuuki Maya in the distance. His eyes narrowed slightly, and after closing them for a moment, he slowly stood up and said to Ryuzaki Sumire, "Coach, I'm going to warm up first."

"Uh--you go ahead."

Ryuzaki Sumire wanted to ask why, but when she thought about the current score, she swallowed the question and nodded to indicate that she agreed.

"Tezuka..."

Shuichiro Oishi looked at the expressionless figure of Kunimitsu Tezuka as he took off his coat, put on a wrist guard, picked up his racket and left, and felt a little bitter for a moment.

They are too weak.

It was so weak that it completely obscured the light of Tezuka Kunimitsu.
-
If I remember correctly, Yagyu's golf shot was original to the animation. I plan to set this move as a prerequisite for Yagyu to develop the laser beam.

The match between Niou and Yagyu should be concluded in about two and a half to three chapters, and tomorrow we can continue with the first chapter of the fight between the protagonist and Tezuka.
