"3-0!"
As a result, until the referee declared a timeout, Nioh failed to hit his serve.
If it weren't for his weak look, the referee would have wanted to directly sentence him to illegal delay.
"He has reached his limit..."
Kise was holding the ball, his head covered with sweat, but Midorima's words came from beside him.
"yes..."
Looking at Nioh who has exited Zone and Phantom, he has reached the end of his rope.
In this case, victory should belong to them!
"Serve error!"
But when Kise hit the ball and hit the net, Midorima woke up.
"Feel sorry..."
Looking at Kise's panting posture, Midorima finally remembered...
Kise's energy was also exhausted.
After all, in order to deal with 100% Phantom Shiratsu, he directly opened Zone+ double imitation.
Zone itself is a huge consumer of physical energy. Coupled with the double imitation of the physical energy consumption, it is a miracle that Kise can persist until now without falling to the ground.
"Double fault!"
"The score is 3-1!"
But the serve again was still unsuccessful...
"Do your best...do you want to obey fate?"
Midorima couldn't do anything to help Kise at this time, but he knew that as long as Kise could send the ball out normally, he would definitely score points.
"I really... didn't expect... that there would be such a time."
Before the game, he really didn't expect to encounter such a thing, Kise whispered with sweat beads on his cheeks.
Nioh's strength exceeded people's imagination, and his persistence led to miracles that are difficult to repeat.
Kise clearly had the ball in his hand, but he felt like it would slip out at any moment.
(Move...)
(Move!)
(Don’t let me off the hook at this time!)
Driven by his heart and body, Kise tried hard to throw the ball...
"Snapped!"
The sound was so clear and crisp, without any excessive speed or force, just the serve falling like a balloon.
Passed the net! !
"boom!"
"boom!"
But at this moment, the sounds of two falling to the ground were heard together.
"Kise!!"
"Nioh!!"
The two fell to the ground almost at the same time, indicating that they had reached their limit.
"He has persisted until now!!"
"I have no reason to give up!!"
Yagyu almost abandoned his gentlemanly attitude and rushed toward the tennis ball that bounced off the ground with an angry shout, and then swung the racket fiercely!
"biu!!"
The return ball passed through the net like a beam and rushed straight to the opposite side.
"He actually hit a laser beam return ball?"
"Can we score?!!"
“Don’t get too carried away!!”
"No! He's in place!"
"That lucky ball is coming!"
But Midorima still occupied a favorable position at extremely fast speed and hit the ball back with a fierce backhand swing.
"Oops!"
Although Yagyu rushed over immediately, he was still a beat behind.
The ball slipped past his racket and left behind.
"it's over!"
Midorima pushed up his glasses, knowing the result.
Even though it's not over yet, without Niou's Yagyu, there is no possibility of him failing in one-on-one.
"call!"
"Clang!!"
But this time, Nioh who was lying on the ground suddenly phantomed into Midorima... Although it only disappeared in a short moment...
What is he doing? For a while, many people did not understand this approach...
But everyone suddenly discovered that there was a gust of wind pressure blowing across the field, changing the flow of the ball.
The tennis ball that should have landed directly to score hit the racket of Nioh, who was lying on the ground, and bounced up.
"not yet..."
It's like I'm dying...
He clearly didn't stand up or raise his arms, even his cheek was on the ground, but he just rubbed the racket forward a little, which caused the tennis ball to rebound, and he made a hard sound at the same time.
"Snapped!"
"Touch the tennis ball!!"
"!!?"
The rebounded tennis ball hit the net and bounced, which made everyone's hearts lift.
The tennis ball jumped up in the air, slowly bounced on the net a few times, and then slid down crookedly.
"Crack!"
"4-1!"
"A little bit...luck...?"
When the hope of touching tennis was shattered...Nioh could only smile bitterly and passed out.
After completely losing Niou's fighting power, Yagyu couldn't fight Midorima even if he struggled tenaciously.
Therefore, in the end, Tachikai lost the No. 1 doubles match in the tie-break.
"This set is won by Teikou Middle School! The score is 7-6!"
An incredible battle situation unfolded in front of people. Before the fight started, none of them thought it would be so intense.
"Nioh!!"
"Kise!!"
"Hey! Cheer up!!"
People on both sides rushed into the field almost at the same time, but compared to Kise's physical exhaustion, Nioh's condition was more serious.
"ambulance!!"
"Get the stretcher quickly!!"
His face was almost pale, as if he was lacking nutrition, and his whole body was languid.
Seeing this situation, Sanada lost his usual calmness and yelled out.
"He is really playing with all his strength..."
Holding his chin, Fuji looked at Nioh in the field and commented.
"Ah...yes..."
"That's the end of being too persistent."
Tezuka was about to say something when a playful voice sounded from beside them.
"coach!"
Turning around, I saw Nanjiro walking down the stairs.
"Although sometimes you have to risk your life to play ball..."
"But we must also distinguish the occasion..."
Nioh's actions may affect the minds of these young people, so Nanjiro must stop their premature "ideas" in time.
It is too foolish to think about "sacrifice" yourself before you have grown up.
"Winning is a player's responsibility, but it's not necessary for you now, you know?"
Looking at the serious expressions of these people, Nanjiro just reminded them without saying anything more.
It's not the time for them to go all out yet, so they can't do anything stupid.
"Well..."
Yamato heard this and scratched his arm, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
"but..."
"He also proved that among his peers, there are still people who can keep up with them."
"Even if the price is so heavy."
Immediately, Nanjiro turned his attention to the group of people in Tatekai University and said.
"That's right...!"
"Can win!"
Kikumaru said loudly as if he had firmed up some idea, even scaring Oishi and Takashi Kawamura next to him.
…
"So, Di Guang is not invincible..."
"First we have to force them to use their full strength..."
"Ahem, isn't it?"
Atobe stretched out his hand and leaned on the chair, smiling arrogantly while sitting.
Niou's performance can be considered reckless, but he also pointed the way.
They are not that far away from the people of Diguang.
I believe that peers who watched this game will not give up so easily.
But will be more determined on the way forward.
Tezuka...Fuji...Atobe...Akutsu...
Not only them, but Renzu and others...
The strength of Diguang's people will only make them excited and want to surpass it.
As said, although Nioh lost, it ignited the fighting spirit of many people.
