Prince of Tennis: A new Hextech Crafting System is refreshed every week.

Kabaji jumps up to serve, his body looking somewhat clumsy, yet his posture exudes a certain beauty.

Bang!

The tennis ball flew over the net in an instant.

"Wow, so fast!"

Kikumaru Eiji opened his eyes wide, trying to see the ball's trajectory, but even with his dynamic vision, he could only see a golden ray of light.

"...But his serving motion is exactly the same as Kitahara Akira's!"

"That's his serve." Kaidou Kaoru's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes fixed on Kabaji.

He hadn't realized it at first, but after Qian's reminder, he began to pay attention to every movement of Kabaji's serve.

Toss the ball, bend your knees to prepare, jump to hit the ball, follow-through...

"It can't be wrong!"

Although the two are very different in size and the distance between the stands and the court is so great that it is hard to notice them without careful observation, Kaido is very familiar with Kitahara Akira's serve.

These past few nights, he has often been awakened by this serve.

He was certain.

Kabaji Takahiro's every move was exactly the same as Kitahara Akira's.

It wasn't just the same type of serve; Kabaji was hitting Kitahara Akira's serve.

Sadaharu Inui summarized: "Mikoto Kabaji...possesses the ability to quickly imitate opponents and replicate their techniques."

Upon reaching this conclusion, even someone as composed as him couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his voice, unable to conceal the shock in his heart.

"Kabachi Takahiro scores, 30-0!"

......

Bang!

Kabaji Takahiro's arm blurred into a streak, and the tennis ball vanished into thin air in an instant.

"Kabachi Takahiro scores, 40-0!"

......

"Has the situation completely reversed?"

"Could it be that the match is going to turn into a service battle!?"

The audience grew increasingly enthusiastic, but Muromachi Juji frowned, clenched his fists, and looked worried: "Even Kitahara can't do anything about his own serve?"

"Don't worry, that kid won't do anything he's not sure he can handle."

"It is a deep voice," Qian Shi said.

His gaze swept over the weighted wristband on Kitahara Akira's wrist.

"At least so far, he hasn't reached the point where he can't do anything."

shuh~

Kabaji tossed the tennis ball up again, winning the point and holding onto his serve.

Bang!

The racket slammed down fiercely, and the tennis ball appeared in Kitahara Akira's half of the court almost instantly.

tread!--

At the very moment the racket struck down, Kitahara Akira pushed off the ground with his right foot, propelling his body forward.

Basic single-leg shuffling steps!

It has a starting speed that is half a step faster than the normal two-footed step.

When the tennis ball bounces off the ground.

Kitahara Akira had already reached the front of the tennis ball. He raised his arm slightly, with a small backswing angle, and relying on his familiarity with the Wind and Speed, he decisively and cleanly swung his racket to smash into it.

boom!

With a crisp sound, the tennis ball flew backwards instantly.

Kita Kazuma shouted excitedly, "Caught it!"

"babble!"

Sure enough, at the same time, Kabaji Takahiro let out a strange sound and rushed forward quickly. His body was huge, but his speed was not slow at all.

He delivered a powerful forehand smash, sending the tennis ball toward Kitahara Akira's empty backhand side.

Bang!

Kitahara Akira turned around and rushed back, extending his racket to its limit, but the tennis ball still flew out, grazing the edge of the racket.

"Game, Hyotei Academy, Kabaji Takahiro, 1-1!"

"What a pity!"

Upon hearing the referee announce the score, Kita Kazuma slammed his fist into his palm, his voice filled with regret.

"But since I'm already able to receive the serve, I have a chance to break serve. Next, I'll take the service game with four super-fast serves."

"Then break that guy's serve!"

Kita Kazuma's idea was not only the idea of ​​the Yamabuki fans, but also the idea of ​​the vast majority of spectators.

But that was not Kitahara Akira's idea.

"You learned Wind Speed ​​in just one game, and its power is almost the same. So, are your other moves the same?!"

Kitahara Akira flipped his hand, and the tennis ball was thrown high into the air.

Then bend your knees slightly.

He waited a little longer than usual, and only when the tennis ball started to fall did he leap up, swinging his racket upwards from behind his head.

Bang!

A slightly heavy, muffled sound of the ball being struck rang out.

Upon hearing the sound of the ball being struck, the referee on the high chair paused slightly in surprise.

Isn't that the sound of a cannonball exploding in the barrel?

The tennis ball landed quickly in Kabaji's service court. Although it was fast, it didn't look like the kind of shot that Tokyo's top hitter would hit.

Just as he was feeling puzzled.

Kabaji exclaimed "Ee!" and went to receive the serve. The tennis ball touched the ground, and then...

Whoosh—!

The tennis ball bounced up like a surging wave, reaching directly to the height of Kabaji's shoulder.

The referee's eyes widened.

It's a topspin serve, but the bounce height is far greater than that of a regular topspin serve.

The first encounter was fatal.

Kabaji hadn't anticipated the serve would bounce so high, leaving him with no space to swing and hit the ball. He could only forcefully jump up and barely manage to block it with his racket.

Bang!

Kitahara Akira immediately followed up with a [Swift] smash.

The arm blurred into a blur, and the tennis ball flashed across the court like a streak of light.

"Kitahara Akira scores, 15-0!"

......

Bang!

"Kitahara Akira scores, 30-0!"

......

Bang!

"Game, Yamabuki Middle School Kitahara Akira, 2-1!"

"Change venues."

......

In this round, Kitahara Akira did not use Wind Speed, but instead switched to Wind Storm.

The super topspin results in an exaggerated jump height!

Although Kabaji can receive serves, his returns are often of poor quality, making it easy for Kitahara Akira to find an opportunity to smash the ball with a super-fast smash.

He easily won his serve once again.

However, people outside the venue did not understand his actions at all.

Niou said softly:

"It's not a wise choice to reveal your skills too early when facing an opponent with the ability to replicate your abilities."

On the other side, Yuushi Oshitari frowned slightly: "Were you intimidated by Kabaji's ability?"

"In an attempt to win, you recklessly used a new technique to score. Such a strategic mistake shows that Atobe and I overestimated you."

But Ootori Chotaro's eyes were sparkling.

"Kitahara-kun is amazing! Not only can he hit incredibly fast serves, but he's also so skilled in topspin serves!"

soon.

After the break between sets, the two players switched sides.

Kabaji didn't say much, but his eyes gleamed slightly as he recalled Kitahara Akira's serve in the previous game.

Bang!

He unleashed a powerful upward-spinning whirlwind.

Kitahara Akira successfully received the pass.

However, Kabaji quickly replicated Kitahara Akira's serve attack from the previous game, using basic one-legged steps to reach the landing point in advance, pulling the racket out at a wide angle, and waiting for the tennis ball to bounce to the appropriate hitting point.

Swish-!

The racket was swung so fast that it almost disappeared into thin air, and when it reappeared, it had already fiercely struck the tennis ball.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the yellow streak of light disappeared from the field.

"Kabachi Takahiro scores, 15-0!"

......

Bang!

"Game, Hyotei Academy, Kabaji Takahiro, 2-2!"
