The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University.

Chapter 99: The high-spirited peak of Tachibana Jiping
The supporters of Lion Music Middle School, who had originally been looking forward to the semi-finals, have now completely lost their confidence after seeing the scores between the two sides.

Perhaps only a small group of people still fantasize that Lion Music can make a comeback in the next three games.

But people with vision know very well that if they want to beat Rikkai University, they must win at least two doubles games, otherwise there is no chance of winning at all.

Niou and Yagyu retreated from the court to the preparation area. Both of them had normal expressions, as if they had not participated in the competition at all.

"Pfft, it's so relaxing. Even the intensity of the team's practice matches is not enough, it's hard to even sweat." Niou Masaharu leisurely leaned the tennis racket on his shoulder and smiled with his head tilted.

"Indeed, you are so weak that you don't even have the thought of playing a prank. That's quite rare." Yagyu Hiroshi nodded in agreement.

"That's because those two guys don't even have the intention of resisting. I won't waste my energy on people like that." Niou Masaharu shook his head in disappointment.

"Good job. You two should go and take a rest. We will soon be able to finish today's game and go back to the hotel to rest." After praising them, Genichirō Sanada signaled the two to return to the team.

"Pfft, it's Yuuki's turn to play in the next game. It seems like I won't even have the chance to take a nap." Niou Masaharu looked at Yuuki Maya who was slowly getting up, and began to mourn for his opponent in his heart.

"If you want to take a nap, I can slow down the water, Masaharu." After hearing what the other party said, Yuuki Maya stopped in front of them and said jokingly.

"Forget it, the seats here are too hard. Only Senior Mori can sleep on them. The beds in a hotel are still more comfortable." Niou Masaharu glanced at Hisasaburo Mori who was snoring in the back and immediately shook his head.

"The second singles match will begin next. Both players are invited to enter the venue."

The referee's voice came loudly, and Maya Yuuki stopped chatting with them and walked into the court with a silver tennis racket.

In front of the net, standing opposite was a young man with long flowing golden hair.

The person sent by Shishigaku in this battle was exactly the same as Yanagi Renji's guess, and was the other one of the two heroes of Kyushu - Tachibana Yoshihei.

At this time, Ju Jiping could be described as high-spirited and full of energy. His unruly expression and hairstyle gave people the feeling of a wild lion.

"You must be Maya Yuuki, one of the four giants of Rikkai University. I've heard of your name for a long time." Tachibana Yoshihei said casually.

"The names of the two heroes of Kyushu have also spread throughout the country." Yuuki Maya replied, praising each other.

"Haha, these false titles are not as important as the national championship. It's a pity that we, Lion Music, have no hope this year." Ju Jiping expressed his thoughts without any concealment.

He knew the overall strength of his team better than anyone else. Once one of him and Chitose failed to win, there would be basically no chance of winning against a strong team, especially a team like Rikkai University that had no weaknesses.

"You're quite open-minded."

Maya Yuuki felt unfamiliar with the extroverted Tachibana Yoshihei now. It was hard to imagine that he was the same person as the mature and calm leader of Fudomine behind him.

"Let's have a good game. Be careful, my style of play is very aggressive." Tachibana Jiping reminded at the end.

"I'm looking forward to it. Don't hold back." Yuuki Maya said with a confident smile.

He also wanted to see how powerful Tachibana Jiping was at his peak.

Although they are both known as the two heroes of Kyushu, they are also strong and weak, and the strong one now is naturally Tachibana Yoshihei.

After a brief exchange, the two began to guess the sides under the instructions of the referee.

Maya Yuuki guessed the front side correctly and got the first move.

Both sides retreated to their respective positions and waited for the game to begin.

"The game begins, Rikkai Dai Yuuki versus Lion Leju."

"The set ends, Rikkai Dai Yuuki serves."

Without waiting long, the referee quickly announced the start of the game.

Maya Yuuki stood at the baseline, glanced at Tachibana Yoshihei who was already in position to receive the ball, and gently tossed the tennis ball in her hand.

砰

It was just a casual, plain and ordinary serve. The tennis ball flew at high speed and instantly landed around Tachibana Jiping. "What a fast serve! But I can receive it."

Tachibana Jiping was secretly shocked. He estimated that the speed of the ball was almost 210 just by visual estimation.

He took a step forward with extremely quick reaction, raised his arm, swung the racket, and hit the bouncing tennis ball back.

The tennis ball hit back by Tachibana Yoshihei had greater power than before, and it made a sound of breaking through the air.

Maya Yuuki remained calm and took a few steps to the point where the ball landed. With his keen eyesight, he could see at a glance that the return was not simple, but it was meaningless to him.

He pulled it back with his forehand and hit it back easily as if he was returning an ordinary flat shot.

bang, bang, bang...

The two sides started attacking each other on the first ball.

Tachibana Jiping's movements are wild and aggressive, and his ultra-offensive tennis style has been ingrained into his bones. Every return is full of violence.

On the other hand, Yuuki Maya remained calm in the face of such a violent attack. No matter how powerful the return ball seemed, it did not cause any ripples when it landed on his racket, and there was not even a hint of stalemate.

After more than a dozen rounds, he still couldn't defeat his opponent, so Tachibana Jiping became a little anxious.

He took a step forward, his arm muscles bulging, and swung violently at the flying tennis ball.

A running lion.

At this moment, Tachibana Jiping's next return ball used his signature skill.

The moment the tennis ball was hit back, it instantly split into countless yellow ball shadows and attacked Yuuki Maya's half of the court.

"It appears, it's Tachibana's rampaging lion!"

"We got this one!"

"Let those people from Rikkai University see your strength, Tachibana Yoshihei!"

The Lion Music team was immediately excited, and it was obvious that they had great trust in Tachibana Jiping's skills.

However, it can only be said that they were happy too early.

Looking at the ball shadows flying in the sky, Yuuki Maya only took a glance and locked onto the real direction of the ball.

"There's only one tennis ball."

Taking a step to the right, Maya Yuuki smiled and swung her racket towards one of the yellow ball shadows.

咚

It is the crisp sound produced when the tennis ball collides with the racket face.

The shadows of the ball disappeared immediately, and the tennis ball that was spotted by Maya Yuuki was immediately hit back to the diagonal baseline of Tachibana Yoshihei.

The tennis ball exploded when it hit the ground, but Jiping Ju didn't expect that his rampaging lion would be broken by a ball, so he stood there in a daze without moving.

Da, da, da, da…

For a moment, the entire court was silent, with only the sound of the tennis ball flying out of bounds and bouncing repeatedly on the ground.
