The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 156 Bu Er: Don't you know that showing off will get you struck by lightning?

Two waves of sound, one high and one low, collided and intertwined fiercely in the air above the court, setting the most exciting prelude for the upcoming singles match.

Against this backdrop, Kamiya You walked to the net and extended his left hand to Fuji Syusuke first. It was not a simple handshake, but more like a condescending scrutiny and challenge.

Kamiya You's dark eyes were filled with undisguised interest. He spoke slowly and deliberately, "I heard that you, Fuji, have a few hidden techniques? I hope they're interesting and won't disappoint me."

Upon hearing this, Fuji Syusuke's smile remained unchanged, still displaying a gentle and warm demeanor.

He extended his hand, his tone gentle yet sharp, and said, "Then—please be sure to experience it for yourself."

As he spoke, he raised his eyelids and looked directly at her, a sharp glint rising in his icy blue eyes, his gaze filled with the implication that "you better not let me show you off."

Meanwhile, on the court, the assistant umpire walked to the side of the net with a tennis racket, his gaze shifting between the two players before finally choosing to ask Kamiya You. He had asked Yamabuki in the previous set, so it was time to make a substitution this time.

"Kamiya, which one?"

Without hesitation, Kamiya You randomly chose "rough".

Upon hearing this, the referee placed the racket face down on the ground, then exerted force with his right hand and spun it sharply. The racket immediately began to spin rapidly like a top, and the metal frame rubbed against the ground, making a "shush" sound.

Then, with a crisp "thud," the racket hit the ground, vibrated twice before coming to a complete stop, and at this point, the mark at the end of the handle was clearly reversed.

"My service game,"

Kamiya Yo refused to back down.

"Then I'll choose the right half," Fuji Syusuke said.

Next, the two players each went to their respective halves of the court for a five-minute pre-match warm-up.

As the two warmed up, the atmosphere on the sidelines gradually quieted down, with only hushed conversations remaining.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Just then, a woman with long, dark blue hair, wearing a pink dress, rushed over, her skirt cascading down her back.

"Wow, so many people? But the game hasn't ended yet, which means the competition isn't over. I'm not late."

"Honestly, Uncle is so unreliable! Who calls someone to come watch the game at the last minute?!"

Nanako Echizen was feeling exhausted. She had planned to go shopping and see a movie with some old friends she hadn't seen in a long time, but then she received a call from Nanjiro Echizen halfway through the day.

Honestly, if Uncle Nanjiro cares so much about Hyotei, why didn't he come over himself sooner?

(Here, Echizen Nanjiro flips through a swimsuit magazine and says that he originally thought it was unnecessary to watch the big tournament, but after learning about the singles matchups, it was too late to come over from home. He then thought, "Nanako, where are you in today? Anyway, please, Nanako~")

Nanako Echizen quickly searched for gaps in the surrounding stands; after all, to watch the game, she first had to squeeze in.

"Excuse me, excuse me—"

After a great deal of effort, Echizen Nanako finally squeezed in and breathed a sigh of relief. She took a sip of the mineral water from her backpack and then looked around the arena. The two players, who had finished warming up, were already in their positions.

Kamiya Yo walked to the service area, while Fuji Syusuke assumed a receiving stance.

"What a handsome boy!" Echizen Nanako's eyes lit up. Just then, the referee's voice rang out, "Well then, I now declare: the Metropolitan Tournament final, Hyotei Academy vs. Yamabuki Middle School, singles match three, has officially begun!"

"This match is between Hyotei Academy's Kamiya You and Yamabuki Middle School's Fuji Syusuke, and will be decided in one game."

"Kamiya You serves first, game over."

"Snap"

Kamiya You stood in the service court, easily catching the tennis ball tossed to him by the caddie, thinking to himself:

Fuji's current normal strength is only at the mid-level of the regional level. After unleashing his ultimate move, he can reach the Kanto level. So before we see all of his special moves, let's use our Kanto level strength to play with him.

But what kind of serve should I use?

Is it a normal attack? A Naruto special move? Or a Prince of Tennis special technique?

Um.

If I remember correctly, one of Fuji's signature moves is to use a slice shot to return a topspin ball.

For topspin balls —

Kamiya You's eyes flashed, "This one will do."

So, Kamiya You leaned slightly to the right, quickly assumed a stance, and then juggled the ball with his left hand, "thud," "thud," "thud."

The ball kept falling, being caught, falling, and being caught again. Suddenly, the sound of the ball bouncing disappeared. Kamiya You moved his hand lightly, and the fluorescent yellow ball finally broke the repetitive trajectory of fate, soaring straight into the sky in a piercing arc.

Then he quickly pulled his right foot back, bent both legs at the same time, and leaned his body back like a fully drawn bow, his eyes following the tennis ball in the air.

He leaped up the instant the ball fell, the wind ruffling his bangs and his black shoelaces fluttering gracefully in the air.

Upon seeing this formation, Atobe Keigo in the stands smiled knowingly in his dark blue eyes. It was indeed this serve.

It seems like Kamiya likes to use a certain move whenever he encounters a fun opponent.

He's really in a bad mood again.

Kamiya You protested remotely: Putting aside the past, this time he clearly only wanted to provide Fuji with a condition to use his ultimate move.

Meanwhile, Kiyosumi Sengoku and Shuichiro Oishi, who were next to Keigo Atobe, quickly recognized Yo Kamiya's serve (after all, they were the victims (not really)).

Therefore, although they were on opposing sides with Fuji Syusuke, they both silently mourned for Fuji Syusuke for 0.1 seconds in their hearts, and then Sengoku Kiyosumi laughed gleefully.

Meanwhile, on the court, in the air, where Fuji Syusuke's eyes were focused, Kamiya You raised his racket overhead and then swung it!

"Clang!"

With a heavy but peculiar sound, the tennis ball shot out towards the corresponding service court in Fuji Syusuke's half of the court, located diagonally.

Fuji Syusuke's icy blue eyes were filled with confusion. Why did Kamiya-kun's ball speed seem even slower than that of Oshitari, who had played in the doubles earlier?

Although he was puzzled, he acted quickly and had already arrived at the landing point, ready to swing his racket to meet the ball. "Here it comes!"

'

Off the field, Sengoku Kiyosumi's excited voice rang out, "Thump!"

The moment the tennis ball touches the ground, something unexpected happens!

This ball didn't bounce up like a normal serve; instead, after hitting the ground, it spun wildly along the ground several times at an astonishing speed!

Immediately afterwards, the high-speed spinning tennis ball, with a strong topspin, flew straight and fiercely toward Fuji Syusuke's face!

"What?!"

Fuji Syusuke's pupils suddenly contracted, and in his field of vision, the fluorescent yellow sphere rapidly enlarged in an instant, bringing a sharp wind pressure rushing towards him!

"That's it! The minister's topspin serve!"
