The Prince of Tennis: My tennis skills come from Naruto

Meanwhile, Atobe Keigo tossed the tennis ball high into the air, then perfectly executed a series of fluid movements: bending his knees, pushing off the ground, leaping, and turning.

His body drew a powerful arc in the air.

The moment the tennis ball fell, his wrist muscles tensed instantly, and with honed precision, he slashed the fluorescent yellow ball from top to bottom!

"Watch my Tannhäuser serve!"

With a shout filled with absolute confidence, the tennis ball seemed to come alive, spinning rapidly as it crashed down towards the corresponding service court.

However, Kamiya You remained remarkably calm and composed, shifting his feet slightly and standing steadily at the predicted landing point.

He tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with interest, preparing to take a small look first.

Three months have passed.

Let him take a good look at Atobe's Tannhäuser serve and see if there's any change in it.

"laugh--"

The tennis ball landed, but instead of bouncing, it slid forward along the court surface at a height of only three centimeters off the ground!

Three centimeters...

A glint flashed in Kamiya You's eyes, and he understood immediately.

From the initial six centimeters to the current three centimeters, this is indeed a qualitative leap, and it seems that Atobe's arduous training has yielded remarkable results.

This kind of low-sliding serve is almost an unsolvable problem for ordinary junior high school students or even high school students. Touching the net or going out of bounds is commonplace. The first time they encounter it, they may not even be able to react in time and be scored directly.

Even if they manage to retaliate, they will inevitably be finished off by Atobe's prepared counterattack.

However, for him, it was an excellent opportunity to test Atobe's current spiking record.

Thinking this, Kamiya You leaned forward, twisted his wrist, and turned his racket, instantly cutting into the tiny gap between the tennis ball and the ground at an extremely tricky angle.

He scooped up the tennis ball with remarkable fluidity, followed by an upward swing.

He hit a perfect and tempting high lob shot.

As Atobe Keigo stared at the high-hanging ball, he gritted his teeth inwardly.

He thought he was going to score directly with his serve, but Kamiya's reaction this time was even faster than when he served against the old version of Tannhäuser!

The movements were so fast they were practically blurry!

Tsk,

The enhanced serve isn't enough, but what if we add an enhanced smash?

As Atobe Keigo hardened his heart, his body shot forward like an arrow.

Approach run, push off the ground, jump,

With unstoppable momentum, he slammed his right racket down!

"A waltz towards destruction!"

With a magnificent, resounding shout, a beam of yellow light tore through the air, carrying the force to shatter everything, and aimed precisely at Kamiya Yo's right wrist.

Facing the first part of Atobe Keigo's ultimate move, "Waltz Towards Destruction"—the first spike—a smile flashed in Kamiya You's eyes.

While I'd like to see the full stats of the ultimate move, getting my racket knocked away is definitely out of the question.

So, with a very casual gesture, he swung and withdrew his right wrist, which was holding the racket.

In a flash, the racket face was adjusted to a right-angled position to receive the incoming ball.

"Bang!"

Huang Mang seemed to have encountered a spring; after contacting the racket face, he bounced diagonally along the racket face, drawing a strange arc, and then bounced into a high lob.

Ok?

Atobe Keigo narrowed his eyes slightly. Although it was a chance shot, he didn't show much joy. Instead, a hint of anger at being slighted flashed in his dark blue pupils.

Because he clearly saw Kamiya You's movements.

Kamiya actually deliberately gave him a chance?!

Very well, you'll regret it soon!

Keigo Atobe leaped high into the air once more, his racket slashing down with all his might like a battle axe:

"Kamiya, revel in my magnificent ball skills!!"

"Bang!"

The yellow light, like a dagger, pierced straight into the right baseline of Kamiya Yo.

Kamiya Yo took a step to the left, covering three meters in one stride, and then swung his racket.

Atobe Keigo's fierce smash was like hitting an invisible wall when it met Kamiya You's racket; the force was precisely and ruthlessly neutralized.

Then, an even faster and more cunning beam of yellow light cut directly into the inner side of the baseline in the opposite direction from where Atobe Keigo was located.

Before Atobe Keigo could even land, the ball had already passed him.

"Sizzle"

The barbed wire trembled violently, and sparks even flew from where the tennis ball hit.

"Kamiya You scores! 0-40!" Fujii Yuko's score announcement rang out at just the right moment.

"How could this be?!"

As soon as he landed, Atobe Keigo turned his head to look at the tennis ball embedded in the wire mesh, his eyes overflowing with disbelief.

With his enhanced serve and even more powerful smash, he envisioned this combination as a decisive blow where 1+1>2.

But this combination of techniques didn't achieve the desired effect at all?!

A sense of defeat immediately washed over him, especially when he thought that the second spike was actually an opportunity deliberately given to him by Kamiya You; otherwise, his combination technique might have been stillborn...

On the other side, Kamiya You spread his left hand and smiled, saying, "Atobe, your combination technique has indeed become much stronger."

Winning at least a few games from Genichiro Sanada shouldn't be a problem.

Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo elegantly rolled his eyes.

Really,

He said he'd improved a lot, but he handled it so easily?!

Humph,

Kamiya's condescending judgments are so annoying, no matter how many times I hear them!

A look of seriousness flashed in his eyes:

It seems that the only way to break the deadlock right now is to serve the ball as close to the ground as possible, but whether that will be enough to score against Kamiya is still uncertain.

Therefore, it's best to serve a serve that's very low to the ground, as that can score a point directly.

But that's extremely difficult. After all, just by practicing the angle and quality of his slice shots, it already took him a very long time to evolve his serve to be three centimeters close to the ground.

You can't just suddenly receive a divine gift and have a flash of inspiration to evolve instantly, can you?!

Or his spiking ability might improve again.

However, Atobe Keigo knew perfectly well that Kamiya had a technique called Body Flicker Technique, so unless the smash was extremely powerful, even if the speed was fast, he wouldn't be able to score.

However, it's unrealistic to temporarily increase arm strength, and if Kamiya Yo doesn't give him a chance on the next ball, he might not even get a second chance to spike.

Atobe Keigo suddenly felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, or as if he had fallen into a hunter's trap, unable to break free.

He took a deep breath, changed his service court, and then mechanically bounced the tennis ball twice.

At that moment, he heard Kamiya You's teasing voice.

"Atobe, it would be even better if you lowered the racket face by 5 degrees when you serve."

Upon hearing this, Atobe Keigo instinctively tightened his grip on the racket handle with his right hand.

Although Kamiya always likes to conduct "guidance warfare" only after he's sure I'm completely powerless to resist...

But this is only the first game!

You're seriously underestimating me!

You should know that the improvement in serving and smashing effectiveness is just a minor result of my special training in Hawaii!
