The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

Chapter 79: A slight move is enough to crush the opponent. (There will be another chapter in the evening)

"This slow serve doesn't bother me."

Seeing the tennis ball whizzing towards him, Kirihara Akaya opened his arms and swung his racket, steadily receiving the serve and hitting the tennis ball back to the opponent's open space in the front court.

"No way, Feng's heavy serve was received so easily?"

"That guy with a messy hair on the opposite side is also a first-year, right? How come he is so strong?"

"Is it impossible to score directly even with such a fast serve..."

When Hyotei's fans saw that Houchotaro's heavy serve did not score directly as in the usual games, they couldn't help but show various surprised expressions.

The tennis ball flew back to Hyotei's half of the court. Before the tennis ball hit the ground, Jiro Akutagawa stretched out his racket, twisted his wrist and caught the return ball directly.

The way he swung the racket was weird. After the tennis ball was hit back by him, it did not go back in a straight line, but flew over the net at a small angle. The angle was very tricky.

"Hey, you're quite good at it."

In the frontcourt of Rikkai University, Kirihara Akari, who had received the ball earlier, also arrived here early. After seeing Akutagawa Jiro's volley from a small angle, he took a step forward to catch up.

Then he swung the racket and deliberately aimed the tennis ball at Jiro Akutagawa's feet, hitting a chase ball.

"Wow--"

Seeing that the return ball was about to hit his feet, Akutagawa Jiro shouted exaggeratedly, then fell down in a weird posture.

唰

The chasing ball shot out from under his feet at the same time as he fell to the ground, instantly passed through Kirihara Akaya and quickly fell to the ground.

"what?!"

Kirihara Akaya suddenly felt something was wrong. He could no longer catch up with the tennis ball, but he still didn't understand how the other party did it.

"Kirhara, you're too careless."

A dark shadow appeared behind the tennis ball and blocked the return ball just before it was about to bounce off.

Then, the intercepted tennis ball instantly pierced through the entire court like a streaking arrow, fell to the ground at the boundary line of Hyotei, and flew out of the court.

Feng Changtaro, who was closest to the landing point, had no reaction at all to the high-speed return ball and could only watch himself lose points.

The one who hit the tennis ball back was naturally Maya Yuuki in the backcourt of Rikkai University. After seeing the loophole in Kirihara Akaya's defense, he filled the gap for him.

"15 to 0."

Seeing that he almost lost the ball and almost embarrassed himself in front of Yui Maya, Kirihara Akaya looked at Akutagawa Jiro who stood up with a regretful expression on his face, and suddenly became angry.

"You almost made me lose face in front of my senior."

The next moment, Kirihara Akaya's Akame state was activated, and his only thought now was to kill the other party.

"Oh, that Kirihara guy is at it again." Marui Bunta, who was outside the field, was not surprised to see this scene.

Just a little bit of stimulation and Kirihara Akaya will become like this.

However, just when Kirihara Akaya was thinking about how to kill the opponent, a racket appeared above his head.

Snapped

The tennis racket hit Kirihara Akaya hard on the top of his head, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

"Who?! Who is hitting me..."

Kirihara Akaya, who was suddenly attacked, looked back fiercely. After finding that it was Yuuki Maya who hit him with the racket of a tennis racket, his fierce expression suddenly turned into a somewhat aggrieved one, and he covered his head.

"Senior, what are you doing——"

"Didn't I tell you not to use Akame easily in a match unless you can control it?" Maya Yuuki reminded after retracting her racket.

"Ow..."

Upon hearing this, Kirihara Akaya rubbed his head, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded away the next second, returning to his normal appearance.

After the episode ended, the Hyotei duo on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment, and then continued to serve at the referee's signal.

Hou Changtaro concentrated and held his breath, and threw the ball again. Just like the first ball, he used his specialty, high-speed serve.

His condition was better in this serve than the previous one, and the ball was hit faster than before.

"I think we can score this goal."

After hitting the serve, Hou Changtaro said silently in his heart.

However, in the blink of an eye, the tennis ball fell to the ground and bounced, and a racket appeared behind it.

Maya Yuuki easily caught this seemingly extremely fast serve. He swung his arm and the tennis ball was hit back at an even faster speed.

砰

The tennis ball exploded at Jiro Akutagawa's feet and flew out of bounds.

"Hey, why didn't you catch the ball?" Yuuki Maya said in a puzzled tone.

Jiro Akutagawa took a look at the tennis ball still rolling out of bounds, and a drop of cold sweat inadvertently flowed down his face.

He wanted to catch the ball, but his body didn't react at all.

Then the game continues.

Hyotei still failed to make any progress in their serve games, and Houchotaro's high-speed serve, which he was good at, was directly broken.

"Game, Rikkai University is leading, score 1 to 0."

The second game started soon after the change of sides, with Maya Yuuki serving at Rikkai University.

"The serve just now, if I remember correctly, should have been played like this."

Maya Yuuki talked to himself as he made a serving motion that was completely different from his usual one, and this action immediately attracted the attention of Hyotei.

"Hey, Atobe, why is that action so similar to--" Oshitari Yuushi shouted with his eyes wide open.

Atobe Keigo was also stunned, and his eyes immediately looked in the direction of Houchotaro on the court.

At this time, Feng Changtaro's expression froze slightly, and he obviously saw the clue.

Maya Yuuki threw the tennis ball high up, then jumped up and dunked it heavily.

The tennis ball immediately flew out like a cannonball, hitting and exploding at Houchotaro's feet.

Without any hindrance, Maya Yuuki scored directly from her serve, and Houchotaro, who was responsible for receiving the ball, did not react at all.

"How could that guy know Feng's serve?!" Mukai Taketo racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. If everyone could serve like that, Feng Chotaro would never have become Hyotei's starting player.

When Taro Sakaki saw this scene, his expression did not change much. Instead, he inexplicably thought of the previous minister of Hyotei.

Sometimes, the gap between people is so despairing.

A skill that you have worked hard to master may be learned by others in just two glances.

Houchotaro was feeling bitter at the moment, because he found that with the same serve, Yuuki Maya's ball speed was much faster than his.

15-0

30-0

40-0

2-0

3-0

……

After the second doubles match started with Maya Yuuki's serve, the score began to rise rapidly and one-sidedly.

The Hyotei's doubles team had no way to launch an effective counterattack. Facing Maya Yuuki's various high-speed returns, their strenuous saves were in vain.

The gap in hard power between the two sides is too big.

Even later in the game, Kirihara Akashi found that he seemed to be on the court only to serve to Yuuki Maya and receive the serve from the opponent.

Because except for this time when he was able to touch the tennis ball, at other times, the opponent lost the ball before he even took two steps.

"The game is over. Rikkai University won with a score of 6-0."

In just less than fifteen minutes, the first doubles match ended amid the disbelief of the audience.

Moreover, after announcing the result of the game, the referee told everyone present through the radio.

The time taken for this game broke the shortest time record for the Kanto Conference finals.

There will be one more update later.

Chapter 80: A Final Battle, Emperor vs. Emperor

When Rikkai University was now leading with a total score of 2 to 0, everyone knew that Hyotei's situation was extremely dangerous.

And everyone knows that once the doubles match is over, Hyotei will have even less chance of winning in the singles match.

Rikkai University, which has the strongest group of singles players in the country, has no theoretical weaknesses at all.

It is a question whether Hyotei can survive the next singles match against three people.

"Always victorious, establish the sea!"

"Always victorious, establish the sea!"

"..."

Hyotei's fan club has completely died down, but Rikkai University's supporters have already started to shout enthusiastic slogans.

"This year's Hyotei is still no match for Rikkai University."

"Kanto's position as the second-best country for ten thousand years is really solid."

"Rikkai University's strength is really exaggerated. It seems that this year's national championship will belong to them again."

"I don't know who Hyotei will send out for the third singles match. It seems that apart from their captain who has a chance to win, sending anyone else is useless."

The crowds watching around the stadium were talking to each other. After the two games, the situation was very clear. In their eyes, Ice Emperor had basically been sentenced to death and there was no possibility of a comeback.

Among those present were contestants from schools that had been eliminated in the first few rounds of the Kanto Conference, who had come specially to watch the game today.

Others include Seigaku and Rokkaku, who are both in the top four, as well as Midoriya, Itosha and other top eight teams that have a chance to compete for a spot in the national tournament.

Even the students from Yamabuki Junior High School, who were eliminated in the first round, stood at a distance and watched the situation.

"A team as strong as Hyotei is so vulnerable when facing the Kanto overlord Rikkai University."

In the Qingxue team, Inui Sadaharu silently put down the notebook in his hand and said in a deep voice.

His words were also the intuitive feelings of the other students in Qingxue after watching the first two games.

Hyotei, a prestigious school in Tokyo that dealt them a heavy blow at the Tokyo Metropolitan Conference, was like a child being manipulated at will in front of Rikkai University, without even the slightest chance to resist.

Doubles 1: 6 to

Doubles 0: 6 to

The regular players of Hyotei who had caused them countless troubles in doubles were also suppressed and beaten up badly when facing the doubles combination of Rikkai University.

"Hiss, such a strong Hyotei actually got the same score as us?" Kikumaru Eiji couldn't believe the scoreboard he saw.

Logically speaking, the Hyotei players, who are much stronger than them in doubles, should have scored at least two or three more points.

"Kikumaru, you seem to have forgotten that the game you and Oishi won was caused by your opponent." Inui Sadaharu said calmly.

"Tsk, I know that without you reminding me." Kikumaru Eiji's face turned red and he glared at Inui Sadaharu.

After the game ended yesterday, he calmed down and went back to review the game. He found that the game they won was full of doubts and was not won by their own strength at all.

"It seems that Hyotei can't stop Rikkai Dachan from winning the Kanto Championship. They've won fifteen consecutive titles. What a terrifying dominance." Fuji Shusuke sighed on the side.

Only after personally participating in this year's competition could he understand more clearly how exaggerated the record of fifteen consecutive victories in the Kanto Conference was.

"I feel like if we want to beat this Rikkai University team, we need at least two or three Tezukas." Kikumaru Eiji said metaphorically, counting on his fingers.

"Kikumaru, to be precise, if we want to defeat Rikkai University, we need at least four Tezukas." Inui Sadaharu said seriously with a serious expression.

"Qian, from the sound of your voice, you have really thought about the possibility of defeating Rikkai University." Oishi Shuichiro expressed shock. He asked himself honestly and decided that he did not dare to think about defeating Rikkai University at the moment.
