The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

"GAME, Yuuki Maya wins, score 5-0"

At the end of the fifth game, Genichirō Sanada failed to win the game despite his all-out attack.

The cruel reality was before him: if he lost the next round, he would be swept and defeated by Maya Yuuki with a score of 6-0.

Even Genichirō Sanada, whose will was as strong as a rock, felt a little shaken at this moment.

Take a few deep breaths and force yourself to calm down.

For Genichirō Sanada, as long as the game is not over, there is still hope of equalizing the score, even if this hope is very slim.

The sixth game, Maya Yuuki serves.

It was no different from the previous few games, and I still used the Holy Arrow of Destruction to serve with a speed far exceeding 220 yards.

If Genichirō Sanada still couldn't break his serve like before, then the game would basically be over.

"it's not finished yet!!"

As the tennis ball passed by Genichirō Sanada at a high speed, a flash of lightning appeared, and the next second the tennis ball hit the opposite court like a bolt of lightning.

Genichirō Sanada did not give up and chose to use all his strength to catch up with Maya Yuuki's serve.

"Great, Sanada finally broke his serve." Marui Bunta said excitedly.

But Niou Masaharu on the side shook his head helplessly and said, "Even if we hit back the opponent's serve, what does it matter? Have you forgotten that Sanada still couldn't score after using his strongest skill, Thunder."

"That's true..." Marui Bunta immediately stopped smiling.

Yes, even if she hits it back, it will only prevent Maya from scoring directly by serving, Marui Bunta thought to himself.

And just as they thought, on the court, even though Genichirō Sanada did not let Maya Yuuki score directly, the suppressed situation did not change at all.

Faced with Maya Yuuki's various tricky high-speed dead corner kicks, Genichirō Sanada was forced to keep running around the court to save the balls.

However, simply passively defending cannot guarantee that you will not lose points.

"15 to 0"

The ball was defended for less than a minute before Yuuki Maya seized the momentary gap in defense and hit the ball into a blind spot where even a lightning-fast move would not be able to catch up.

After this goal, there were only three goals left until the end of the game.

Chapter 23 Disastrous Failure

The game is still going on.

Inside the stadium, a figure as fast as lightning was flashing across the field.

The current situation is that this ball has been played for more than 3 minutes, and the result is still not decided.

"Sanada..."

Looking at Genichirō Sanada's relentless attack on the court, Seiichi Yukimura frowned and looked worried.

At this point in the game, anyone with a discerning eye could already see that the current strength levels of the two sides were not at the same level at all.

The reason why Genichirō Sanada was able to form a stalemate with Maya Yuuki was simply because he relied on his lightning-fast movement to keep them hanging.

Whenever the tennis ball flies to a dead corner where it cannot be caught normally, Genichirō Sanada will use his Thunderbolt without hesitation to catch the ball and hit it back.

At this time, with his extremely high insight, Yukimura Seiichi had noticed that Sanada Genichirō's legs, especially his knees, had become abnormally red and swollen, and blood bruises had begun to accumulate.

He knew very well that this was the price that Genichirō Sanada had to pay for constantly using Thunderous Strike!

And on the court, Yuuki Maya was well aware of this.

After hitting the tennis ball again, he sighed and said, "Sanada, don't you want your knee anymore?"

However, his words did not receive a response from the original master. The other party still gritted his teeth with a determined look and used Thunderous Strike to hit the tennis ball back again.

Genichirō Sanada was unwilling to give up the game and continued to stick to his tennis philosophy.

But Yuuki Maya no longer wanted to continue like this. He had no intention of defeating Sanada Genichirō.

As his thoughts turned, his eyes focused and he tightened his grip on the racket.

The blood-activating equipment was fully activated, and then the tennis ball that was hit back was covered with the Holy Destruction Arrow.

嗖

The sound of a tennis ball breaking through the air was suddenly heard, and a blurry phantom exploded at the feet of Genichirō Sanada, but the other party did not react at all.

He didn't even have time to react and could only watch the tennis ball land a second time outside of bounds.

30-0

Genichirō Sanada looked towards the other side of the court in horror. The ball just now was faster than all the return balls he had received in this game.

In other words, until now he has tried his best but has not been able to bring out the full strength of Yuuki Maya.

After scoring, the tennis racket in her hand dropped slightly, and Maya Yuuki gave Genichirō Sanada some time to catch her breath.

"Sanada, there are only two balls left. It's time to show you my real tennis skills."

It's a very ordinary sentence, but it sounds like thunder to others.

The meaning of Yuuki Maya's words clearly indicated that until just now, he still had some hidden skills that he had not used.

Everyone is looking forward to what kind of football skills he will show.

"Come on! Let me see what your tennis ball looks like!"

Genichirō Sanada shouted in a deep voice with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on the opposite side, mobilizing all his remaining energy to be ready for battle.

At the same time, Maya Yuuki grabbed the tennis ball and tossed it gently as usual.

"Sanada, you have to look carefully..."

Before Yuuki Maya finished her words, the tennis ball thrown into the air had turned into five silver arrows, falling around Sanada.

"This is!!??"

Realizing it later, Genichirō Sanada turned his head in disbelief and looked at the tennis ball that had gone out of bounds, his eyes filled with shock.

He never knew that Yuuki Maya's Holy Arrow of Destruction would have this form.

"Are you surprised, Sanada? But this is not all I have. You can't force me to use my full strength right now." Maya Yuuki said calmly.

In the past, whenever he used the Holy Extermination Arrow, whether it was a serve, return or spike, it would only condense into one arrow. This led Sanada and the others to mistakenly believe that the Holy Extermination Arrow would not change in number except for the size.

But now, Yuuki Maya completely shattered their original cognition with this ball.

In fact, when the tennis ball fell beside Genichirō Sanada just now, it was not his physical reaction. If he had used the Thunder Movement, he could have barely caught up.

However, the real reason why Sanada stood still was that he couldn't tell which of the five silver lights that fell to the ground at the same time was the real landing point.

"Hey... Yukimura, did you see that clearly just now?!"

Outside the field, Yanagi Renji couldn't find any words to describe his shocked heart, and asked in a lost tone.

"I didn't see it clearly either."

Yukimura Seiichi shook his head regretfully. Even with his excellent insight, he didn't see which path of the serve just now was the real trajectory of tennis.

In their sight, they only saw five identical sacred arrows of destruction falling into Sanada's half at the same time at a speed of over 220 in the blink of an eye.

"Isn't this the complete form of the Holy Slayer? Maya, how many things have you hidden that I don't know..." Yukimura Seiichi sighed helplessly. He found that he could no longer see through his childhood friend.

To be honest, even he was helpless with the serve just now and couldn't think of a way to break it for the time being. Yukimura Seiichi now only hoped that Sanada's will would not be frustrated after the game.

On the court, Yuuki Maya picked up another tennis ball and looked at Sanada Genichirō, who was already drenched in sweat. She said calmly, "Sanada, since you lost to Tezuka, your vision has become too narrow. My strength is improving by leaps and bounds..."

"You are now not even qualified to chase after me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his serve was completed. Five silver lights fell like sparks, and the tennis ball slowly rolled back from behind Sanada Genichirō to his feet.

A sharp whistle sounded and the referee announced the score loudly.

"The game is over, the winner is Yuuki Maya, the score is 6-0!"

However, the huge stadium was unusually quiet at this moment, and all the tennis club members who were watching did not dare to breathe loudly.

Their vice-captain, Genichirō Sanada, who was unrivaled in the junior high school world across the country, lost to Maya Yuuki, who was also one of the Big Four, in the school selection tournament without scoring a single point.

Such a fantastic thing was witnessed by them with their own eyes.

"Sanada, you lost miserably..." Niou Masaharu said with a complicated expression.

"Yeah, Yuki was too scary today..." Marui Fumita paused and swallowed the rest of his words.

Kirihara Akari on the side also remained silent, but his eyes were fixed on Maya Yuuki who had a calm expression on the court from beginning to end.

Without realizing it, he has subtly regarded the opponent as a signpost on his tennis journey.

Inside the stadium.

“I lost…” At this time, Genichirō Sanada still hadn’t come over the last words that Maya Yuuki said, and he was feeling mixed emotions.

"Winning or losing the game will not change the fact that we are friends. I hope you can understand this." Yuuki Maya said seriously.

He believed that Genichirō Sanada would not lose his faith because of the failure in this game. He was just finding it difficult to accept what he said for the time being.

He is looking forward to seeing how much Genichirō Sanada will change after this competition.

Chapter 24: New lineup, Sang Yuan quits

At the end of the game, Yuuki Maya won the group match, which means that he has now regained his starting position at Rikkai University.

Although the tennis club's tryouts have not yet ended, they have nothing to do with him anymore and he only needs to watch from the sidelines.

After his match with Sanada, the remaining group matches were all completed within two days. The current situation is that the first place in the four groups has been decided.

In addition to him, there are Mori Jusaburo from Group A, Yanagi Renji from Group B and Yukimura Seiichi from Group D.

The remaining four starting spots will be decided from the loser group consisting of the second and third place teams from the four groups.

Looking at the familiar names in the loser group, Yuuki Maya was actually looking forward to the outcome of the loser group match.

Genichirō Sanada, Bunta Marui, Masaharu Niou, Akaya Kirihara, Hiroshi Yagyu, Jack Sanzono.

Except for two unfamiliar names, this loser group includes half of the members of Rikkai University's regular team last year.

At this time, outside the crowd watching the list of tomorrow's matches, Niou Masaharu said apologetically to the boy with glasses standing next to him: "I'm sorry, Yagyu, I invited you to the tennis club and now it's like this."

"There's no need to apologize, Niou. From quitting the golf club to joining the tennis club, it was all my own wish."

Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses and said calmly: "And now, I still have a chance, right?"

"You are really optimistic, but I want to remind you that even though there are still four starting spots left, the actual situation is that this group can only compete for three starting spots."

Niou Masaharu looked serious, and said with his eyes fixed on a certain place: "Because, in this loser group, no one can be a match for Sanada."

At the same time, Marui Bunta, Jack Kuwabara and Kirihara Akaya stood together, analyzing the current situation.

Naturally, they also knew what Niou Masaharu could think of.

"Bunta, let's work hard together." Jack Sanghara couldn't think of any words of comfort other than encouragement.

Before Marui Bunta could speak, Kirihara Akari spoke first: "Hehehe, Senior's position as the official choice will be accepted by me - Wow, don't touch my hair!!!"

"Damn you Seaweed Head, you want to take my regular seat, but you are not qualified enough."

He reached out his hand to ruffle Kirihara Akaya's hair in revenge, but Marui Bunta's expression did not seem relaxed.

Although he is confident in his doubles ability, the trials test his singles ability.

Marui Bunta knew very well that in this loser group, except for Genichirō Sanada, who he absolutely could not beat, the remaining few people were all people who could threaten him in singles strength.

This starting position is not so easy to keep.

A few minutes later.

As Yukimura Seiichi announced the end of today's club activities, all members of the tennis club began to leave the tennis court one after another.

Yuuki Maya and Sanada said a simple goodbye and left.

In the huge tennis court, after just a few minutes, only two people were left.

The two people who stayed behind were Seiichi Yukimura and Genichirō Sanada.
