"Clang!"
The first serve still hit the net. Nash gasped and looked at his arm that still showed signs of trembling slightly.
The next ball will be the final serve. Whether it passes the net or not, there will be a result in the end.
If he was very irritable and dissatisfied before, he would be treated like this.
But now Nash has looked away and reset his mentality.
Although it seems incredible, in a sense, when facing Akashi and Shirazu, he may really be a challenger rather than a mentor.
From this moment on, Nash seemed to have regained his original intention of challenging strong opponents around the world.
He no longer looks down upon his opponents because they are junior high school students, but instead treats them as players stronger than himself.
Holding the tennis ball and taking a deep breath, Nash adjusted his body and mind.
"Huh? This stable mentality is beyond my imagination."
Bai Jin was surprised to see that Nash had not given up yet, but was concentrating on preparing to deliver the final ball.
Obviously in that state, self-destruction or incompetence and rage would be more suitable for him.
How long does the thunder bomb last?
Without any special means, the trick will not be lifted until the end of the game.
Noble lasting effect.
Unlike Old Man Shen, whose effectiveness can only last for one round, Phantom God's gold content is quite high.
He held the racket in one hand and took a good posture. Although he didn't think the opponent could hit him, considering that Ryoma was not the only one in this world who could explode, he still chose to deal with it.
"."
The area around the venue also began to quiet down, and the noisy audience gathered to stare at Nash.
If this ball is missed again, it will be a familiar double fault, causing the game to come to an end.
The subsequent events may be enough for Nash, as the captain, to bear a lot of responsibility and abuse.
"Brother, captain him."
"Don't worry about him, he can only believe in himself now."
Noah can feel the huge pressure even if he is not standing on the court. This kind of situation where one goal determines the future can really defeat people with low psychological quality.
Even if this is just a "coaching match" in name only.
But once Nash lost and Long Ya didn't arrive, the game would almost be declared over.
In a coaching match, they lost to the coached side.
This is very dangerous for the famous Jabberwock.
The team may be disbanded as a result.
Your team can't even beat a junior high school student, so what else can you do?
Although it was just an exception, the sponsors didn't care.
If you fail once in this environment, don't expect them to help you again.
After all, the Jabberwock had disgraced them.
Because of this, Noah even wanted to cheer Nash up, but was stopped by Gorgias.
"Now Nash can no longer hear any sound."
That's not to say that he has lost his hearing, but that Nash's attention has been entirely focused on the next ball.
He no longer paid attention to anything outside.
The outcome of the game?
Will the sponsors subsequently terminate their contracts?
The team’s reputation?
Responsibilities required?
That has nothing to do with who he is now. His only thought now is one.
That is to hit this serve over the net.
"What an amazing concentration."
Fuji opened his eyes and looked at Nash, surprised by his will.
"After all, he is also a tennis player who once challenged his career."
"It would be too ugly to be shaken and barked just because of this."
Atobe stared ahead and did not ridicule anything at this time. Although he disliked them, he had to say that this group of people still had some advantages worth learning from.
"The last shot?"
Yukimura paid attention to Nash's actions, and he was inspired by the way he blocked all the senses in his body and concentrated them on one point.
He seems to have some new ideas
"There is no room for carelessness."
Tezuka did not underestimate Nash at this moment. The highly concentrated posture indicated that Nash had also entered a field that he had never entered before.
"Hey, no matter what, Shirazu-chan will definitely win!"
But Kise didn't care about this. He only knew that the opponent could not win this last ball no matter what.
"Do your best to obey fate."
"Drink!!!"
He threw the ball high, roared angrily, and then used all his strength to hit the ball.
It was a ball that condensed everything I had.
A swing that infuses all the power, speed, body, technique, and spirit into it
Its name is.
The Demon King's blow!
"Whoosh!!"
The ball did not touch the net, but passed through the top of the net at a slight distance, and then rushed to the opposite court. At this moment, Nash fell to the ground and could only stare at the ball sideways.
"Crossed the net?!!"
Seeing the ball really pass the net, Kikumaru was shocked.
but.
The next moment, when the ball bounced, there was a burst of sprinting figures and flashing lights in the field.
The illusory devil was cut in half
"The Secret of Flying Sword Style"
"Tianxiang Dragon Flash!!"
Except for a few people, no one else saw clearly what just happened.
The only impression left...
"Crack."
Just the tennis ball rolling at Nash's feet.
(Hit back!!?)
Xibo was stunned for a while outside the court, not knowing what was going on.
He clearly saw the ball hit, but why did the ball suddenly appear at Nash's feet?
"what is that.?"
In the stands, Ryoma's eyes swayed, and then he asked the old father next to him.
"It's the sword-drawing technique."
"A genre that has never been seen before."
"Is he the descendant of a famous swordsman?"
That slash was similar to that of a samurai, but far exceeded one's imagination. Nanjiro tilted his head and explained to Ryoma.
"The art of drawing swords?"
"Well, you probably haven't been exposed to this kind of thing before."
Looking at Ryoma's puzzled expression, Nanjiro remembered one thing. Although he was called a "samurai", he was different from the swordsman in the traditional impression.
"Swordsmen are creatures that, compared to warriors, are more inclined to hone their sword skills and use them to kill enemies."
"The most famous one is the so-called sword-drawing technique."
"That is to use an instantaneous high-speed blow to cause a fatal attack to the enemy."
This is the first time in Neon that I have seen a player who can incorporate swordsmanship into tennis like this.
"Even if this kid doesn't play tennis, he can be said to be a master just by relying on his swordsmanship."
"His mastery of sword skills is terrifying."
"What an incredible guy."
Even though it wasn't the first time he saw this white-haired kid making a move, Nanjiro felt a sense of anticipation every time.
(Super fast sword drawing technique?)
If it weren't for his status, Nanjiro would really like to play with him personally.
It will be super fun to play tennis with a talented player who can play different styles, moves and unpredictable moves.
"Dad"
"What's wrong?"
“In the future I want to go to junior high school in Neon.”
