The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 96: The Hidden God Seen Through
After the first game, the two sides exchanged courts, and the next game was Chitose Chisato's serve.

Da da da……

Chitose Chisato lowered her head with a serious expression and clapped the tennis ball in her hands.

Then he paused, grabbed the tennis ball that bounced off his palm, and gently threw it upwards.

At the moment when the tennis ball rose to a certain height, Qiansui's pupils shrank, and he quickly raised his racket to hit the tennis ball.

砰

The tennis ball immediately flew out like a ghost and landed at Sanada's feet at an astonishing speed.

The speed of this serve seemed very fast in the eyes of others, but in Sanada's eyes it was just average. He immediately raised his arm, ready to return the ball at the predicted hitting point.

However, the speeding tennis ball inexplicably disappeared the moment it bounced, and after Sanada swung his racket, it just hit a ball of air.

The next second after the racket was swung in the air, the disappeared tennis ball appeared again right behind him, flew straight out of bounds and landed on the ground again.

"what?!"

Genichirō Sanada's expression froze, obviously it was the first time he had seen this kind of serve.

"Chitose scores, the score is 15-0."

The audience seats in the Lion Music area burst into cheers after seeing this goal.

"It appears. Chitose's signature ball skill."

“It’s not the first time, but every time I see Chitose use this skill, it’s incredible.”

"Let's show those guys from Rikkai University a good look. They must be scared."

"..."

After just a few brief breaths, Sanada Genichirō regained his expression.

"Not bad, it's an interesting skill." He assumed a stance to receive the ball, his eyes much more serious than before.

After seeing her serve score, Chitose Chisato breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax and continued to prepare for the next round of serve.

boom.

The tennis ball once again flew towards Sanada at high speed and disappeared in an instant after landing.

This time, Sanada did not rush to swing the racket, but stared at the back of the point where the tennis ball disappeared.

A moment later, the tennis ball seemed to jump a short distance, appeared behind the original landing point, and then flew out of the court.

"Chitose scores, 30 to 0."

Looking at the tennis ball that fell to the ground, Sanada's eyes moved around, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hey~ It feels like the tennis ball has suddenly disappeared, Liu, do you know what this is?"

In Rikkai University's preparation area, Marui Fumita asked curiously. His tone was as relaxed as ever, and he didn't show any concern for Sanada Genichirō on the field.

"This is Chitose's specialty, called [Kamikaze]." Yanagi Renji explained calmly, as if he was not surprised to see this kind of ball.

"Kamikakushi... sounds very powerful, what do you think, Yuuki?" Marui Bunta sighed slightly, then turned to ask Yuuki Maya beside him.

"It's indeed an interesting skill, and it's similar to the disappearing serve of Fuji Shusuke of Seigaku." Maya Yuuki said with a smile.

The so-called "Invisibility" is to add a longitudinal spin force perpendicular to the ground to the ball when serving, so that the ball will rise rapidly in an instant after being hit, as if it were invisible.

Of course, unlike the disappearing serve, the disappearance serve can be used not only on the serve, but also on the return ball.

"Sure enough, for Yuki, this kind of ball skill is just interesting." On the other side, Niou Masaharu listened to Yuki's words and said to himself.

In his opinion, this skill was very impressive, and he couldn't think of a way to crack it for a while, but when it came from Maya Yuuki's mouth, it sounded like an acrobatic skill.

……

砰

砰

On the court, Chitose Chisato used Kamigakure to send out two more balls, both of which were successful.

"Game, Lion Le Chitose scored, the score is 1-1."

After losing the first game, Chitose held on to her serve and tied the score.

Then came the third game. Genichirō Sanada served decisively and smoothly, and his mentality was not affected at all by the score being tied.

咻

He started with the same swiftness, the tennis ball was even faster than the previous serve. "It was even faster than the first game. That guy actually held back."

Chitose Chisato looked at the tennis ball flying towards him like the wind and did not dare to be careless at all.

He immediately found the right receiving point, swung his racket, and hit the tennis ball back.

The tennis ball was hit back at an extremely fast speed, even faster than when it came.

After the tennis ball passed the net, Sanada had already caught up with it in a few steps and was behind it.

He swung his racket to meet the return ball, ready to intercept it before it hit the ground.

Then, after the tennis ball passed through the net, it disappeared instantly, as if it had become invisible.

Sanada swung in vain again, and the next moment, the tennis ball appeared again, appearing behind Sanada.

"Chitose scores, 0 to 15."

Chitose put down his swing and saw Sanada's surprised expression. He regained some confidence and said, "Are you surprised? My Kamisaki is not only useful for serving."

Genichirō Sanada looked at Chitose Chisato expressionlessly, and without saying anything, he turned back to the baseline, preparing to serve again.

He took out a tennis ball, his eyes cold.

This time, he did not use the "Fast as the Wind" serve, but instead used an ordinary but not slow regular serve.

Chitose Chisato caught it steadily, swung his arm, and hit the tennis ball back.

唰

The tennis ball passed the net and disappeared from Sanada's vicinity once again.

"How many times do you want to repeat the same trick?"

Genichirō Sanada's face was as cold as ice. He tensed the muscles in his arm that was gripping the racket and swung it towards the air.

砰

The tennis ball that had been invisible immediately appeared on the face of his racket. Then, the hit tennis ball ran through half of the court with amazing momentum and hit Qiansui's backcourt.

"Sanada scores, the score is 15 to 15."

After just one round, Kamikakushi was defeated by Sanada.

Immediately afterwards, the next ball started, and a tug-of-war began between Genichirō Sanada and Chisato Chitose.

Chitose Kamikakushi kept hitting the ball every time he returned it, but Genichirō Sanada had already seen through the path of Kamikakushi's ball and accurately found the receiving point every time.

Bang, bang, bang—

At this moment, in the eyes of bystanders with poor eyesight, the situation on the field was that two people were running all over the field, but it looked like they were hitting air balls.

They only heard the sound of the ball being hit, but could not see any trace of the tennis ball.

Seeing that the stalemate had lasted for more than twenty rounds with no winner, Genichirō Sanada's eyes narrowed and the force of his swing suddenly increased.

咻

He suddenly used the speed of the wind, adjusted the angle of the racket, and hit the tennis ball towards Qiansui's front court.

Chitose, who was on guard, immediately ran forward quickly and caught up with the tennis ball that was about to fall to the ground.

He stretched out his racket to pick up the tennis ball, but in order to prevent Sanada's sneak attack, Chitose lowered the angle of the racket and cut his arm.

Instead of using the conventional high ball to return the frontcourt ball, he directly hit a diagonal through ball, trying to bypass Sanada's body and hit the tennis ball to his backcourt sideline.

However, just as the tennis ball started to rise in an arc, Chitose felt the temperature suddenly rise.

The next moment, the blazing flames wrapped around the tennis ball, brushed past his shoulder, and fell to the ground like a meteorite.

Snapped

The tennis ball left a dark mark on the ground behind Chitose and bounced out of the court with undiminished momentum.

"30 to 15, Sanada is leading."

Sanada took back his swing and said to Chitose expressionlessly:

"What you will experience next is only the abyss of defeat."

Let me say this again, I know that the original national runner-up in the second year was Makino Fuji, but the draw position must have been changed in the book, putting the original top four Shitenhoji in the finals.

We can't really follow the original plot step by step. As long as the result remains the same, it's okay to change the process...
