The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

At ease, the fourth game begins.

"Are there any moves you haven't used yet? You should have more than these." Yuuki Maya said before Tachibana Yoshihei served.

When asked this question, Tachibana Jiping's eyes narrowed and a fierce light flashed across his pupils, but after a moment, he seemed to show some hesitation.

However, without giving him time to think, the referee urged him to serve.

Putting aside the messy thoughts, Tachibana Jiping's eyes were clear and he had made a plan.

He tossed the tennis ball up and swung it vigorously.

砰

The tennis ball flew out and hit Maya Yuuki's feet.

Then, in the next second after hitting the tennis ball, he ran quickly towards the net.

With very active serve and volley, Tachibana Jiping seemed to have changed his offensive strategy.

The ball hit the ground heavily, splashing some dust.

Maya Yuuki immediately determined the change in the ball. Although it was still an ordinary serve, the power contained in it was significantly improved, which was very different from before.

"Let me see your plan." Maya Yuuki had a little expectation in her heart, and at the same time swung the racket towards the bouncing tennis ball.

He used his forehand to hit a diagonal through ball, forcing Tachibana Yoshihei to stop him from going to the net.

However, as the tennis ball passed over the net, Tachibana Jiping's forward running movement suddenly stopped, and he took a few steps back in advance.

Then, while the tennis ball was still flying in a parabolic trajectory in the front court, he took a running start and jumped up.

Catching up with the tennis ball in mid-air, Tachibana Jiping struck a peculiar posture, then he used brute force to hit the return ball hard with the handle of the racket in his hand.

The hit tennis ball instantly turned into an irregular, twisted, rotating circle, and then turned back like a cannonball.

While flying back, the tennis ball continued to split into dozens of yellow ball shadows.

But unlike the previous runaway lion that scattered in all directions, these dozen more real ball shadows all flew rapidly towards Maya Yuuki.

"Ball blasting dance!"

Tachibana Jiping shouted angrily. This ball was his killer move that he had hidden for a long time, and he was determined to get this point.

This return is fierce and violent, a pure super offensive skill.

Facing this return ball, Yuuki Maya's expression remained unchanged, and she immediately started to hit the ball to meet these seemingly numerous tennis balls.

A blue static blood suit with circuit board-like patterns covered his arms, and his eyes were locked on another tennis player swinging his racket.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and the tennis ball created a spark the instant it touched the racket.

"what?!"

After hitting the tennis ball, Tachibana Yoshihei fell from mid-air and looked at Maya Yuuki in disbelief, as she found out that she had actually taken his premeditated smash. Her expression was filled with astonishment.

砰

After switching to blood gear, Yuki's arms burst out with a powerful force, forcefully hitting the powerful return ball back.

The tennis ball flew straight through the court and exploded at Tachibana Yoshihei's feet, leaving a black ball mark before flying out of bounds.

"The forward momentum and downward force after the forward jump, combined with the brute force of hitting the tennis ball with the hoop, causes the force to collide everywhere inside the tennis ball."

"This action causes the tennis balls to move very quickly through the air and it looks like many tennis balls are flying back at the same time."

"I, am I right?" Yuuki Maya put down her racket and said slowly with a smile:

"This is indeed a powerful skill..."

……

There will only be half a chapter left of Tachibana's competition tomorrow, and then it will be the finals. The finals should be finished in about ten chapters.

Chapter 102: Lion Music was shut out, Mao Li's abnormality

"Yuuki scores, 15-0."

In the silence, the referee's usual score announcement seemed even clearer.

After listening to Maya Yuuki's story, Tachibana Jiping looked a little frightened.

He was able to completely see through the principle of his Exploding Ball Dance just by seeing it for the first time. What a terrifying eyesight!

Without him realizing it, a few drops of cold sweat flowed down Tachibana Jiping's forehead.

"How much of your strength are you using right now?"

Ju Jiping really wanted to ask this question, but reason told him that it was better not to ask.

Because it may only undermine his self-confidence and affect his subsequent performance in the game.

Decisively putting aside the messy thoughts, Tachibana Jiping's eyes became extremely firm.

Even if he is really no match for me, there is no way he can surrender.

Then, he mobilized all his body's strength without hesitation and served the ball again. The tennis ball tore through the air and hit Yuuki Maya's half of the court heavily.

The power contained in this ball was even more astonishing, but it was still not enough for Maya Yuuki.

砰

The sound of the ball hitting the ground resounded throughout the stadium, and a new round of confrontation began again.

In the first ten rounds, the two sides were tit-for-tat and the situation seemed evenly matched.

But after ten rounds, Tachibana Yoshihei gradually fell into a disadvantage, and no matter how hard he attacked, he could not break through Yuuki Maya's defense.

The other party is like a towering mountain, not afraid of any strong external force.

30 is better than 0

40 is better than 0

……

"Game, Rikkai Dai Yuuki wins, score 4-0."

At the end of the fourth game, the results were similar to the previous games.

Even though Tachibana Jiping's situation was much better than in the previous few games, it seemed that he had a chance to compete.

But it only slowed down Maya Yuuki's scoring speed, and in essence she still continued to lose points without scoring a single point.

砰

Maya Yuuki swung her racket and smashed the tennis ball into Tachibana Kihei's half of the court.

At this moment, the fifth game started immediately after a short break. He did not make any more verbal exchanges and served directly.

In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball flew past and accurately hit the inside corner line under Tachibana Jiping's feet.

It was still a fast ball, but it did not score directly. Tachibana Jiping reacted in time and swung the racket in his hand vigorously to hit the serve back.

The tennis ball was hit back and another round of tug of war began.

Looking at Tachibana Yoshihei who was desperately chasing the tennis ball throughout the court, Yuuki Maya sighed that he was worthy of being a national-level player. Even though he was suppressed like this, he did not give up any chance to fight back.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, his arm was suddenly covered with blood, and he delivered a fatal blow to the tennis ball that was turned back.

A silver arrow of light suddenly appeared, shooting towards Tachibana Yoshihei's backcourt with sharp force.

Ju Jiping's expression was solemn. He got into position to receive the ball in advance and stared at the flying tennis ball with full concentration.

pat-

A tennis racket flew backwards in the air and landed on the edge of the Lions' preparation area.

The string broke in the middle of the tennis racket, forming a circular hole.

"Is this the Holy Arrow of Extinction? It's incredibly powerful."

At this time, Tachibana Jiping was still swinging the racket, but his hands were empty.

Although he had prepared for the return ball seriously, the power of the tennis ball exceeded his expectations.

Ju Jiping retracted his action and silently kneaded the joint of his right wrist.

At the moment of obstruction just now, his wrist immediately sent out a warning, and he subconsciously loosened his palm while feeling the stinging pain.

But even so, the catch just now still hurt his wrist.

……

"Game, Rikkai Dai Yuuki scores, the score is 6 to 0"

"The game is over, Yuuki Maya wins."

"The national tournament semi-finals are over. Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School defeated Shishiraku Junior High School with a total score of 3-0."

There was no suspense in the subsequent matches. The moment Yuuki Maya used the Holy Arrow, the match was completely won.

Up to now, Rikkai University still maintains an amazing record of not losing a single game in the national tournament.

"I lost."

After the game, both sides came to the net and shook hands, and Tachibana Yoshihei said in a casual manner.

"You still have a lot of room for improvement. Let's fight again next time we have a chance," Yuuki Maya encouraged.

Tachibana Yoshihei has already carved out his own path in tennis and has a great chance of going further.

"Excuse me for asking, how much strength did you use?" Tachibana Jiping finally couldn't help but ask the doubts that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Let me think about it. Probably... 70 to 80 percent."

Seeing Tachibana Yoshihei's earnest eyes, Yuuki Maya changed the "40% to 50%" that she was about to blurt out to "70% to 80%".

"I see." Ju Jiping nodded. He set a goal in his mind.

After a brief post-match exchange, the two returned to their respective teams and prepared to leave.

In the Lion Music team, after returning, Tachibana Jiping scratched his head and said to Chitose Chisato and other teammates with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, everyone. I have tried my best."

"There's no need to do this. Even if you win, we can't win."

"We can't help it. Our luck is so bad. It would be great if we could draw the Shepherd's Ivy."

"..."

The other members of Lion Music had no intention of blaming anyone. They also knew that getting to this point in the competition was already their limit. If it weren't for the two heroes of Kyushu, they would probably not even be able to advance to the second round.

On the other side, the Rikkai University team quickly lined up and left the stadium after Maya Yuuki returned to the team.

There is another semi-final to be held in the afternoon, but it has nothing to do with them anymore. Everyone returns to the hotel to rest, as not everyone needs to go to the afternoon game.

At noon, the group had lunch at a local restaurant with Kansai characteristics. They chatted there with relaxed expressions and the overall atmosphere was light and cheerful.

However, during the meal, Mori Jusaburo, who usually didn't talk much, rarely finished his lunch today and did not leave to go back to the hotel to rest.

Instead, he looked in the direction of Sanada, Yanagi Renji and others from time to time, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

Yuuki Maya immediately caught onto Maori's unusual movements. Seeing that he was still hesitant to speak, he took the lead and said, "Mori-senpai, you seem to have something to say. Why don't you just say it out loud?"

After seeing his abnormality being pointed out and everyone's eyes looking at him, Maori Jusaburo, who was still hesitant, sighed slightly.

"I didn't expect you to see through it. Yes, I do have something to say..." Maori paused, and after scanning everyone, his eyes stopped in the direction of Sanada Genichirō.

"Sanada, I want to play in the singles position for tomorrow's match. Is that okay?"

……
