The Prince of Tennis: The Quincy of Rikkai University

砰

Kenya Oshitari swung his forehand with great force, and the force applied to the tennis ball was quite strong.

The somewhat blurry shadow of the ball flew in a parabolic trajectory from the front court of Shitenhoji and flashed to the back court of Rikkai University.

At the same time, Yanagi Renji had already stood at the landing point of the tennis ball, waiting for the return ball.

Before the return ball hit the ground, Renji Yanagi swung his racket and hit the tennis ball back.

A high-speed flat shot shot straight through the midfield of Shitenhoji.

His target for this ball was Ishida Gin who was standing in the backcourt.

He knew clearly from Yanagi Renji's data that Ishida Gin was a power-type player.

He also knew that Ishida Gin's strength was among the top among the contestants in this national conference.

But because of this, a common problem among power players is that their speed in chasing the ball is far slower than that of other types of players.

The open space that Yanagi Renji was aiming for was just outside of Ishida Gin's defensive range.

"As expected of Senior Liu, the path of this shot is really tricky."

Kirihara Akari in the frontcourt also saw Yanagi Renji's plan, and he also thought that it would be difficult for Ishida Gin to receive this return ball.

However, at this moment, a faint sound of air being torn apart reached Kirihara's ears, and he even felt a gust of wind.

"Don't look at us too much. We can't score with this kind of ball."

At the moment, Ishida Gin did not take any action, and as Yanagi Renji expected, he was too late to catch the ball.

However, Kenya Oshitari, known as the star of Osaka Naniwa, burst out with unparalleled speed and caught up with the return ball from the other side.

砰

The tennis ball was intercepted before it hit the ground, and then Kenji Oshitani swung it back with his backhand and hit the tennis ball diagonally back.

The tug-of-war for the first ball began.

Renji Yanagi and Kirihara's attacks were very swift, but Ken Oshitari on the opposite side relied on his superhuman speed to repeatedly resolve one threatening return after another.

"Tsk, that guy keeps jumping up and down, it's really annoying."

Compared to Yanagi Renji's patience, Kirihara Aka couldn't bear it anymore after more than a dozen rounds.

His impatient character was revealed once again, and his failure to score this goal had stretched his patience to its limit.

"Stop it!"

On the next return ball, Kirihara Akaya took the initiative to pursue. His eyes were aimed at Kenya Oshitari's lower body, and he pressed down the racket in his hand and suddenly hit it.

The tennis ball suddenly changed direction and flew towards Ken'ya Oshitari's calf.

However, Kirihara's actions were too immature and obvious, and Ken Oshitari was not as easy to hit as those small fry that Kirihara usually encountered.

He just moved sideways lightly without catching the ball and easily avoided Kirihara's sneak attack.

But when Kenya Oshitari dodged, the tennis ball continued to fly behind him.

And behind him was Ishida Gin, who had been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.

Looking at the tennis ball about to fly in front of him, Ishida Gin raised his arm without any sadness or joy, and swung down the racket in his hand.

"Hyado Ball, first style."

Boom!

The heavy sound of the ball hitting the target suddenly resounded throughout the court. The tennis ball that was hit back turned into a thick and wide orange qigong wave, rushing towards Kirihara Akaya with a clear target.

"Nani?!"

Kirihara Akaya was shocked and his eyes widened.

The speed of that Qigong wave was not fast, but the power contained in it was extraordinary, and its momentum was so strong that it seemed unstoppable.

"Kirhara, be careful—"

Yanagi Renji hurriedly reminded him, but it was too late.

I saw Kirihara Aka had already swung his racket to meet the attack, with no intention of backing down at all.

Snapped

There was a huge collision sound, and the tennis ball was unstoppable and penetrated the racket's obstruction.

There was not even a brief moment of stalemate before the racket in Kirihara Akaya's hand flew out.

"Shitenhoji scores, the score is 15-0."

The referee announced the score and Ishida Gin's score was valid.

"Kirihara, are you okay?" Yanagi Renji hurried over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Senior..."

Kirihara shook his head to indicate that he was fine, but he still shook his arms. Apparently the impact just now still made his muscles a little sore and numb.

"You are too impatient, Kirihara. This is the final. Don't underestimate your opponent." Yanagi Renji pointed out his behavior just now.

The ball should not have been taken by the opponent in this way. It was Kirihara who gave the opponent the opportunity.

The typo will be corrected later

Chapter 4: Target Failed...

The third one failed...

Chapter 110 Kirihara's Temperature Soars

"Sorry, I was too impatient."

Kirihara Akaya has now calmed down from his previous irritation and realized that he has made a very low-level mistake.

For the ball just now, he only needed to follow Yanagi Renji's rhythm step by step, and he would have won in a few rounds. It was he who lost his composure and disrupted Yanagi Renji's layout without authorization.

"It's just one ball. There's no need to blame yourself so much. This is also a good reminder for you." Yanagi Renji did not scold Kirihara.

Kirihara Akaya's previous opponents were all weak ones, so it is understandable that he has not been able to completely change his mentality when he suddenly plays in the finals.

After the episode, Kirihara Akaya changed his racket and returned to the court again, waiting for Shitenhoji's second serve.

砰

The sound of hitting the ball rang out again, and Ken Oshitari on the opposite side had already served.

After learning from the previous experience, Kirihara Aka was no longer as impatient as before.

After steadily receiving the serve, he quickly moved to the front court and followed his previous playing style, coordinating with Yanagi Renji's offensive rhythm.

15-15

15-30

15-40

30-40

……

In the first game, both sides played a conventional match, competing in basic tennis skills.

But it is obvious that Shitenhoji cannot compare with Rikkai University, a team that is extremely inward-looking in this regard.

嗖

Yanagi Renji's high-speed flat return serve caught the defensive gap of Shitenhoji and the other player. The tennis ball quickly penetrated the opponent's half of the court, passed by the two players and flew out of bounds.

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

When the tennis ball hit the blind corner, Kenichi Oshitsuka arrived at the landing point one step later and could only watch his team lose points.

Even for him, who is known as the star of Naniwa, it is impossible for him to catch up with all the tennis balls without missing a single one.

"What a tough opponent, Ishida." Kenye Oshida stopped and said with a serious expression.

"Yeah, they are on a completely different level from the teams we encountered before. Their technical and tactical skills are very sophisticated."

Ishida Gin still had that old-fashioned expression, but his tone was heavy.

Moreover, there is one thing that neither of them mentioned, but they both knew it very well.

That is, some of the strategies formulated by Watanabe Osamu before the game could not be used.

The reason is that the Rikkai University combination guessed by Watanabe Osamu is Marui Bunta and Yanagi Renji.

The purpose of sending Ken'ya Oshitari was to use his speed to completely block all of Marui Bunta's offensive skills at the net.

But now, this strategy has failed, and the opponent's frontcourt has been replaced by Kirihara Akaya.

However, Ken Oshige also discovered some weaknesses of Kirihara Akaya in the previous round.

"Ishida, when we have the chance, just do this..." Kenya Oshida whispered in Ishida Gin's ear.

"oh, I understand now."

Ishida Gin nodded, slightly widened his eyes and stared in the direction of Kirihara Akaya opposite him.

After a while, the second game began.

Kirihara Akaya stood at the baseline, holding the tennis ball between the knuckles of his five fingers.

"Watch me win this game." Kirihara Akaya smiled confidently.

The tennis ball popped out of his hand and the ball instantly began to spin irregularly.

Then Kirihara Akaya slammed the racket down hard, and the wildly spinning tennis ball quickly flew towards Shitenhoji's half of the court.

The tennis ball bounced off the ground and the person who caught it was Gin Ishida.

He slowly raised his racket and prepared to return the serve.

However, the bouncing tennis ball did not fly in the direction he expected, but instead flew towards his face at an incredible arc angle.

Ishida Gin didn't dodge, and the tennis ball hit his left cheek hard and sank slightly, until it stopped spinning and fell to the ground.

"Rikkai University scores, the score is 15 to 0."

When the tennis ball landed on the ground, it meant that Kirihara's serve directly scored, and the referee immediately announced that the serve was valid.

"Ishida, are you okay?" Kenji Oshida saw this sudden change and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. This kind of powerful tennis ball poses no threat to me."

Ishida Gin's expression was calm. The ball just now only left a faint mark on his face, but it disappeared after a few seconds, and there was no sign of redness or swelling at the place where he was hit.

On the other side, Kirihara Akari also saw this scene, and his originally smug expression gradually disappeared.

Although his serve scored, the effect he wanted was not achieved.

Serving again, Kirihara Akaya increased the strength of his five knuckles gripping the tennis ball.

The irregular rotation attached to the hit tennis ball became more violent, and this time, it was Kenya Oshitari's turn to catch the ball.

The bouncing tennis ball instantly went straight to Ken'ya Oshitari's knees, and its purpose was self-evident.

"Tsk, as expected..."

Kenya Oshitari had already anticipated what had happened to Gin Ishida just now. Although he did not guess the ball path correctly and could not return the serve, he reacted quickly and dodged the attack of the tennis ball with a flash.

However, the price of dodging is naturally losing the ball.

"Tsk, you react pretty quickly."

Seeing that the opponent dodged his serve, Kirihara Akaya was obviously not very satisfied with the result.

However, considering the opponent's speed, being dodged was within expectations.

"I want to see how long you can hide."

After scoring, Kirihara Akaya prepared to serve for the third time.

Still serving with fingertips, the tennis ball bounced and aimed directly at Ishida Gin's abdomen.

Kirihara Akaya's idea was very simple. He didn't believe that every part of the opponent's body could withstand the power of the tennis ball. If this place didn't work, then he would change to another place.
