The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Chapter 190 Tennis Match, But Peaceful Development?!

But then, something completely unexpected happened. Atobe Keigo simply gave up on receiving all three of Yukimura Seiichi's serves, and Yukimura Seiichi tied the score at 1-1!

"Oh! Yukimura! Yukimura!!"

"Minister! Minister!!"

The Rikkai players immediately cheered, while the other spectators were in an uproar over the result. "What the hell? No way? Why didn't Atobe return it?! He could have used teleportation before, but he didn't, which could be explained by the cost of teleportation. But this time, Yukimura only used a normal serve, and he still didn't return it?!"

"No way, no way?! The Kanto Tournament finals were fixed?! How much did they pay them?! They're not even going to put on a show?!"

"A thorough investigation is recommended!!"

"It has nothing to do with match-fixing or anything like that," Inoue Mamoru said firmly as he heard the surrounding conversations getting more and more outrageous. "Atobe is just artificially interrupting Yukimura's progress bar for eliminating his five senses by reducing contact with the tennis balls he hits."

Although Inoue Mamoru was not clear about the specific working principle of Yukimura Seiichi's five senses elimination, it certainly wouldn't be effective through air transmission; at the very least, it would require contact with the tennis ball. Therefore, although Atobe Keigo's method was primitive, it was definitely effective.

As for the members of the Hyotei region, they were much more accepting of this scene. Although a few individuals (those with paranoia, suspicion and anxiety) were still whispering and muttering to themselves, most of them were not flustered at all, nor did they question it. After all, they knew Atobe Keigo's background clearly. He was the young master of the Atobe Zaibatsu. Who could afford to bribe him to fix a match?

Besides, Atobe-kun is the vice-captain appointed by Kamiya, there's no way he could possibly lose to someone from another school! Everything right now—well, it's just him gathering his strength! (Forced explanation.jpg)

After the 90-second break, it was Atobe Keigo's turn to serve again. Atobe Keigo won the game with a perfect fourth Tannhäuser serve, bringing the score to 2-1, and the players switched sides.

Keigo Atobe walked to the bench, elegantly unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank it. Then he massaged his wrists and stretched his body.

Having not played Yukimura Seiichi's tennis for a long time, without being forced to continue using the "Suppress Five Senses" skill, and with the help of his own IAP breathing technique, Atobe Keigo could clearly feel that the abnormality in his body had further subsided. If he played two more sets and then had a break in the middle of the game, the "Suppress Five Senses" skill should be almost at zero!

Moreover, although he didn't intend to take those three balls and in the next game, it doesn't mean he did nothing.

Over here, Yukimura Seiichi held the tennis ball, his mind filled with complex emotions. Although the score was currently 2-1, and he could foresee it soon becoming 2-2, he felt for the first time, no, for the second time, that the final outcome was difficult to control.

Just like Inoue Mamoru, Yukimura Seiichi deduced that Atobe Keigo was using this clumsy but effective method to control the degree of erosion of the five senses by the destruction of his powers.

If it eventually goes to a tiebreaker —

His physical strength —

Yukimura Seiichi felt as if an invisible dark cloud was hanging over his head. He took a deep breath and then served again with a "thump." Meanwhile, Atobe Keigo's eyes were focused as much as possible, scanning every move Yukimura Seiichi made.

Although Yukimura's technique was indeed very strong, his tennis and physical (surface) had no blind spots,

However, Keigo Atobe believes that as time goes on, it is impossible for a person's body, whether it is joints or muscle groups, to be completely free of any blind spots!

As he tried his best to observe, the score quickly reached 2-2, and the two were tied again. It was Atobe Keigo's turn to serve again, and he followed the same old routine, executing a perfect four-tannhäuser serve to turn the score on the scoreboard to 3-2. Then, the two began their third change of ends and halftime break, and the spectators watching this scene felt inexplicably exhausted.

"What's going on with these two people?"

"Hmm? Did these two make some kind of deal? You let me serve, I'll let you serve, we'll each play one game and peacefully develop until the tiebreaker, right?!"

"I'm confused and bewildered. Ah, this is completely different from the final match point I imagined."

'

Ninety seconds later, the referee announced, "It's now Rikkai University Affiliated Junior High School's Seiichi Yukimura's serve!"

Yukimura Seiichi teed off as usual, "Thump."

A yellow beam of light swept towards the opposite half of the court, but this time Atobe Keigo didn't stand still. Instead, he stepped forward with his left foot, touched the ground with the toes of his right foot, and smoothly drew a curved arc behind him with his right hand holding the racket. Then, his left hand smoothly gripped the racket, and he began to prepare to gather power with both hands. "Thump!"

Atobe Keigo's posture suddenly changed. His right foot, which was originally touching the ground, stomped on the ground with a drumbeat sound, and then he completed the hand movements in one smooth motion.

He gripped his rackets with both hands and met the tennis ball with a powerful thud. At the same moment, his arm muscles began to bulge noticeably, though not as exaggeratedly as a bulging rock.

"Bang-!"

A deep, resounding thud, far louder than a normal smash, tore through the air, and a visible shockwave ripped out from the point where the racket met the tennis ball.

"Wave—Sphere!"

As Atobe Keigo gazed at the golden beam of light that was flying toward Yukimura Seishi Market, burning fiercely, trailing a blazing white tail, and tearing violently, he made a magnificent declaration.

His eyes were filled with determination; he was confident that this ball would score!

Because, for Yukimura Seiichi, his strength and stamina are relatively weak points!

As expected, he not only scored a point, but also knocked Yukimura Seiichi's racket away again, forcing Yukimura Seiichi to switch to a spare racket this time.

Next, Keigo Atobe hit three consecutive Hadoukyu!

He thus pushed the score to 0-40!

This is troublesome. Yukimura Seiichi's blue-brown eyes were filled with seriousness. He didn't expect Atobe to be able to hit the Wave Ball in a row. No, he must not let Atobe win this game!

Otherwise, if he can't break the perfect Tannhäuser serve, or rather, if he can't break it under the current tennis rules, the score will become 5-2. In that case, even if he wins another game, the last game is Atobe Keigo's serve, so Atobe will win 6-3!

Yukimura Seiichi could not accept this. As Rikkai's last line of defense and Rikkai's captain, he could not afford to lose to Hyotei's vice-captain!
