The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

This trace of uneasiness had been lingering in Yuuki's heart since the first game, but he temporarily suppressed it because he needed to concentrate on the game.

The current situation does not allow him to think about anything else, so Yuuki Maya should focus on the present.

After a seesaw battle, in the end, it was Yuki Maya who first found a blind spot where Yukimura Seiichi had no time to defend, and won the game point with a flat shot that pursued extreme speed and penetration.

The score was 5-0.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Genichirō Sanada and Renji Yanagi, Seiichi Yukimura immediately started his serve.

The tennis ball was sent flying and hit near Yuuki Maya's left foot.

"Maya, it's almost my turn next." Yukimura Seiichi murmured in a low voice.

A deep light flashed in his eyes.

Of course, Yuki Maya couldn't hear what Yukimura Seiichi said, after all, he didn't have a super hearing.

Facing the fast and sharp serve, Maya Yuuki swung the racket at the best hitting point as usual.

The two collided with each other, but at the moment of contact, Yuuki Maya raised her eyebrows.

"It doesn't feel right."

This was his first reaction when he caught the tennis ball.

The strength and rotation of the tennis ball in front of him were inconsistent with the feedback he expected after receiving the ball, even if it was just a slight difference.

But he knew very well that he could not be wrong on this point.

A very intuitive manifestation is that originally he wanted to hit the ball at the center line in front of Yukimura Seiichi, but now the landing point of the tennis ball is biased towards the center line and close to the backcourt area.

This situation would never happen to him. Even any national-level player would not make such a low-level mistake.

However, as the number of batting rounds increased, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and it became more and more familiar to him.

It was not until the tenth ball that Yuki Maya suddenly lost the sense of the racket in her hand. When she hit the tennis ball flying back from the opposite side, it seemed like she was hitting a ball of air.

Naturally, this ball flew straight out of bounds in a very outrageous way.

"Maya, at this moment, do you feel that you have lost your sense of touch?" Yukimura Seiichi said in a low voice.

On the opposite side, Maya Yuuki lowered her head, raised the arm holding the racket, swung it twice, then squeezed the racket tightly, and then she understood.

It's been a long time since I felt this way.

"I haven't felt this in a long time. It's earlier than I thought."

Maya Yuuki sighed sincerely. It had been two years since she last experienced this feeling.

But what he didn't say was that Yukimura Seiichi's five senses were activated much earlier than he thought.

Even in the past, when Yukimura Seiichi successfully used the five senses destruction on him, it was in the ninth game after the two sides were tied at 4-4.

And now, only in the sixth round, his sense of touch has been successfully stripped away by the opponent.

In other words, in order to successfully launch the attack ahead of time, Yukimura Seiichi consumed an abnormally large amount of mental energy than usual.

"Yukimura, do you really want to defeat me right now..."

Maya Yuki couldn't help but look up at the other person. Their eyes met, and he felt the strong desire to win hidden under Yukimura Seiichi's gentle expression.

The next round took a turn because Maya Yuuki's sense of touch was temporarily deprived.

"Game, Yukimura Seiichi scores, the score is 1 to 5."

Genichirō Sanada's deep voice sounded.

He originally thought that the game was about to end, but he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Yukimura Seiichi actually turned the situation around in desperation.

……

The protagonist reminded us about Yukimura's illness last year, and it will be written in the later part of the story. I'll reveal it first to avoid people saying that my protagonist is not a human being or something like that.

Chapter 38 The game was forced to stop

Seeing that he had scored a point, Yukimura Seiichi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From the first ball of the game, he had already been planning for this five sense deprivation.

If it were someone else, it would have taken effect in the first two games.

But unfortunately, his opponent now is Maya Yuuki, someone he is not sure he can defeat.

He knew very well that if he followed past experience, given the opponent's current level, he might not be able to perform it successfully until the end of the game.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, Yukimura Seiichi applied double mental suggestion to every ball he hit back.

The purpose is to activate the five senses deprivation in advance before Maya Yuuki finishes the game.

The current situation clearly lets Yukimura Seiichi realize that his judgment is correct. If he had not done so from the first ball, he would probably have followed in the footsteps of Genichirō Sanada.

Fortunately, we caught up in the sixth inning.

Yukimura Seiichi felt that his spirit was a little tired at this moment. This was the sequelae of being forced to deprive the five senses in advance.

Shaking his head, Yukimura Seiichi knew that it was not time to rest yet. Even though he had already removed Maya Yuuki's sense of touch, he could not let his guard down.

On the other side, Maya Yuuki, standing at the baseline, started serving.

Even though he had lost his sense of touch at this time, his serving level was not something that an ordinary national-level player could handle with ease.

Even though he couldn't feel the force of the swing, his body's muscle memory still allowed him to hit a high-speed serve smoothly.

"Is it possible to do this?"

Seeing that even after being deprived of his sense of touch, he still seemed unaffected and was able to serve at a high level, Genichirō Sanada, who was sitting in the referee's seat, was particularly shocked.

Of course, Genichirō Sanada has experienced this feeling personally and naturally understands how great an impact losing the sense of touch has on a tennis player.

It can be said to be a devastating blow, and as time goes by, he will gradually fall into the abyss of horror. He shudders every time he thinks of it.

On the field, the confrontation continues.

However, compared to the previous few rounds, it was Yuuki Maya who had the advantage and had been suppressing the opponent, but now, the offense and defense were switched.

Yukimura Seiichi gained the upper hand for the first time and began to frantically suppress Yuki Maya, who had been deprived of her sense of touch.

The attack was like a storm, seemingly leaving no chance for the opponent to breathe.

Because Yukimura Seiichi knew very well that he was not sure how long the deprivation of the five senses would affect Maya Yuuki, so he had to end the game and defeat the opponent within this unknown period of time.

砰

砰

...

The sound of hitting the ball is like continuous fine raindrops.

On the court, Maya Yuuki's defense was more powerful and difficult than Seiichi Yukimura imagined.

Even if she has no sense of touch, it does not affect Maya Yuuki's use of the Hiren Kick, so no matter how fiercely the opponent attacks, even if the quality of her return ball is no longer as good as before, she can use this step to block most of the opponent's tricky dead corner kicks from various angles.

Time passed slowly, and Yukimura Seiichi's face was covered with sweat.

The score at this time was 3 to 5.

In the past ten minutes, Seiichi Yukimura barely scored 2 points, which was completely beyond his expectations.

He couldn't believe that Yuuki Maya was able to minimize the loss of points under such an unfavorable situation.

Moreover, Yukimura Seiichi has found that his physical strength is gradually declining, but on the other hand, Yuki Maya on the opposite side still has a calm face and doesn't even sweat.

"Depriving the sense of touch is not enough..."

The thought flashed through Yukimura Seiichi's mind, and the strength of his grip on the racket increased a little.

It was Maya Yuuki's turn to serve again. As the game progressed, he seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of losing his sense of touch.

Raise your arm and then lead the racket.

The multiple sacred arrows of destruction, which had not appeared for several games, were used by him again.

This action also surprised the two people on the court. They had never expected that Maya Yuuki could actually hit such a serve at this time.

Did Yukimura Seiichi's five senses fail? !

A terrible thought arose in their minds, and they were no longer able to understand the situation on the field.

Seeing the flying light arrows, Yukimura Seiichi was stunned at first, but then he locked onto the direction from which one of the light arrows was coming.

He was thoroughly familiar with this serve, so there was no possibility of losing points.

However, Yuuki Maya's action also frightened him, and for a moment he thought that his five senses had begun to lose their function.

However, after a few rounds of pulling the ball back and forth, Seiichi Yukimura concluded that the opponent had not yet broken free.

But this made him feel even more terrified, and the other party's strong adaptability made him a little frightened.

This can't go on any longer, Yukimura Seiichi made a decision.

砰

In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball flew to Maya Yuuki's half of the court. He stood at the landing point and raised his arms to prepare to hit back.

Ok? !

A strange feeling quietly arose, and the tennis ball made no sound after it landed on the ground.

Yuuki Maya hit the tennis ball back in a hurry and didn't hear the sound of the ball hitting the ball.

Now he knew that after his sense of touch, he had been deprived of his sense of hearing.

After losing your hearing, the effects follow.

He could no longer tell the strength of Yukimura Seiichi's return hit by the sound, which affected his judgment of the ball's path.

15-0

30-0

30-15

...

The pace of losing points accelerated, and soon Yukimura Seiichi won another game.

"Yukimura scores, the score is 4 to 5."

Genichirō Sanada announced the scores and looked at the two people on the field with mixed feelings.

For him, no matter who wins in the end, he will not feel good. I believe that Yukimura Seiichi must have had a similar feeling at that time.

Seeing that he had scored another point, Yukimura Seiichi clenched his fists and felt excited.

Just one point away, he could tie the game and turn defeat into victory.

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, he had made plans to continue using the five senses deprivation in the next round to deprive Maya Yuuki of her vision, thereby securing victory.

However, just as Yukimura Seiichi was still thinking about how to play the next game, a sharp pain burst out from his mind.

"Uh! Ah..."

The racket in his hand slipped, and Yukimura Seiichi half-knelt on the ground, covering his forehead with his hands, his expression of pain undisguised. After a while, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

This sudden change also left other people present at a loss.

"Yukimura! What's wrong with you?!"

At this moment, who cares about the game anymore, Genichirō Sanada jumped from the referee's seat and rushed towards Seiichi Yukimura, followed closely by Renji Yanagi.

Maya Yuki also put down her racket and walked over the net to approach. Seiichi Yukimura suddenly fell down, and the five senses of destruction that were bestowed on him suddenly disappeared.

His heart sank, and a bad guess emerged in his mind.

Although he had reminded Yukimura Seiichi of this situation as early as last year, the other party did not feel any discomfort at the time, and no problems were found after a check-up, so he let it go for a while.

But today, Yukimura Seiichi frequently used his mental power in order to make the five sense deprivation take effect earlier. This behavior may have caused the disease that was still lurking in his body to be induced earlier.
