Chapter 57: Completing the Last Piece of the Puzzle

......

Fifth game.

Following Wind and Storm, Kitahara Akira showed no sign of stopping, and amidst the incomprehension of many, he continued to unleash new moves.

The racket flashed out of thin air like a sword being drawn from its sheath.

boom!

The tennis ball landed sharply on the court, and after landing, it bounced outwards like a deadly scythe.

Such an exaggerated lateral spiral arc.

Just like when facing the Wind and Storm, Kabaji was once again killed by the first encounter. In order to reach the tennis ball, half of his body's center of gravity was shaken out, but he still couldn't touch the shadow of the tennis ball.

"Kitahara Akira scores, 15-0!"

The referee announced the score, and the crowd outside the stadium erupted in another wave of surprised gasps.

"An ultra-high-speed flat serve..."

"A powerful topspin ball with a high bounce..."

"If I remember correctly, this is the third serve he's used already, right? A variant of the sidespin serve with a bouncing arc like a sickle!"

"That's incredible! It was a service masterpiece!"

Some marveled at Kitahara Akira's brilliant serves, while others discovered Kabaji's unusual nature after a few games.

"Hyotei's Kabaji is also remarkable. No matter what tricks Kitahara Akira uses, he will retaliate in the same way and score points."

"Kitahara Akira used a variation of the sidespin serve in this game. I wonder how Kabaji will respond in the next game?"

Will he continue to serve the same way?

"This match is getting more and more exciting!"

boom!

Kitahara Akira unleashed two consecutive Wind Scythe Cutter attacks.

Although the threat of this serve will be greatly reduced if the trajectory of the scythe cut is predicted in advance, its trajectory is not as easy to predict as that of the wind and storm.

Kabaji tried twice, but the tennis ball slipped past him both times.

"Kitahara Akira scores, 40-0!"

......

boom!

On the fourth ball, Kabaji finally caught Kamakiri, but the other half of the court was left with a clear gap, and Kitahara Akira naturally wouldn't let such a weakness go unnoticed.

A powerful topspin shot hits straight to the bottom corner.

"Game, Yamabuki Middle School Kitahara Akira, 3-2!"

"Please switch courts."

Seeing Kitahara Akira win another game with a new serve, to be honest, Oshitari Yuushi was a little surprised. He actually saw some shadows of "Thousand Techniques" in Kitahara Akira.

However, this refers to serving.

"Are you planning to keep using new tricks to score?" Yuushi Oshitari shook his head.

He had also played against Kabaji before. His new skills could indeed maintain a temporary lead, but as the game progressed, Kabaji would eventually copy all of his skills.

This is not only pointless, but it will also create an even stronger birch field.

Yuushi Oshitari had suffered before.

Having mastered a variety of special skills, Kabaji was no less skilled than himself in terms of ball technique, but his power was even stronger, and he directly suppressed him to the point of being unable to breathe in the second half of the game.

Kitahara Akira's actions were merely a self-destructive act, a path to his own demise.

As expected, it was Kabaji's serve.

boom!

The tennis ball bounced outwards like a curved sickle.

Kitahara Akira received the message.

The tennis ball flew back to the other side, and Kabaji immediately launched a strong topspin attack, repeating Kitahara Akira's tactics from the previous game.

Bang!

"Kabachi Takahiro scores, 30-0!"

......

Thud! ...Thud! ...Thud! ...

Although Kabaji had the advantage of serving, Kitahara Akira continued to launch counterattacks after receiving serves, but Kabaji showed no intention of stopping his offensive.

The lightning-fast flat smashes flashed across the net frequently; the powerful topspin balls dropped sharply over the net and bounced up to an exaggerated height after landing; the slicing blades posed a deadly threat from time to time.

As Kitahara Akira deliberately displayed his tennis skills in front of Kabaji, the last piece of the puzzle in his regular tennis system was completed by Kabaji.

The two used the same trick.

The offensive and defensive patterns are almost identical, as if there are two Kitahara Akiras battling it out on either side of the net.

And everyone finally witnessed Kitahara Akira's "full strength".

It completely surpasses the level of the Metropolitan Tournament and transcends age limitations. Even in the summer, Kitahara Akira can still have a certain degree of dominance on the Kanto Tournament stage, where second and third-year students are participating.

He's a regional-level expert!

Ryo Shishido said in a low voice, "If it weren't for Kabaji on the field, the match would probably be over by now."

Before this match.

Even though Kitahara Akira had already defeated Ootori Chotaro, he didn't think Kitahara Akira would pose a threat to Hyotei. However, seeing the current match on the field, he completely changed his mind.

Among the first-year students at Hyotei High School, apart from Kabaji, everyone else, including Hiyoshi, only suffered defeat against Kitahara Akira.

Even Oshitari and Jiro didn't have Kitahara Akira's strength at this time last year.

Except for Ryo Shishido.

The atmosphere at Seigaku also seemed somewhat heavy.

Everyone was amazed by Kitahara Akira's strength, which was significantly better than the other first-year students in this rookie tournament. They were also shocked by Kabaji Takahiro's special ability to keep Kitahara Akira so firmly in his grasp.

Kaoru Kaidou's face was gloomy, and he was extremely unwilling.

He didn't expect that Kitahara Akira didn't even use his true skills, while he, despite using all his strength, still suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat.

They are both in the first grade, yet there is such a huge difference between them.

This made Kaidou, who already had a strong sense of self-respect, feel extremely humiliated.

Meanwhile, Ryuzaki Sumire watched Kitahara Akira's figure on the field, her eyes filled with admiration, envy, and occasional irritation.

She marveled at Kitahara Akira's talent at such a young age, predicting that his future development would likely rival that of Fuji.

They envied Yamabuki for first having Sengoku, and then welcoming the even more talented Kitahara Akira, completely making up for their lack of singles players, while Seigaku had no suitable doubles players besides Oishi Kikumaru.

They are also worried about facing Yamabuki, who is strong in both singles and doubles, next year.

If Seigaku loses, that old man Banta will definitely put on that infuriating expression again. Just thinking about that face makes Ryuzaki Sumire incredibly annoyed.

Little did she know that if her husband knew what she was thinking, he would definitely spit in her face.

Leaving aside Tezuka and Fuji in singles, let's just talk about Seigaku's promising doubles players.

Kikumaru and Oishi have the potential to become top doubles teams in the country. According to Banlao, if they can be properly guided, they might become a doubles pair that surpasses Minami and Touhou.

Inui Sadaharu was famous for his doubles skills during his elementary school years.

Together with Renji Yanagi of Rikkai University, he won many doubles championships. In particular, he was good at intelligence tennis. As long as he had a partner who could follow his instructions, they could form a strong doubles team.

As for Kaoru Kaido and Takeshi Momoshiro, the two seem to be incompatible and are both singles players.

However, Banla saw potential in both of them for doubles: Kaido's resilience, Momoshiro's finesse, and their shared aggressiveness.

If the two of them were to get together, who knows what unexpected chemical reactions might occur.

Unfortunately, Sumire Ryuzaki had not yet discovered these potentials at this time.

(The old man was quite nice.)
