Tezuka Kunimitsu and Shiraishi Kuranosuke!
People only know that the two seemed to have played against each other as representatives of Kanto and Kansai during the youth selection training last year.
But only the players selected at that time know what the specific results will be.
But everyone in Kansai knew that that duel ended in Shiraishi's defeat.
A year later, Shiraishi, who had grown up again, met Tezuka for the first time in a national competition.
"I'm actually so excited."
Holding the ball and looking at Tezuka who was already waiting at the baseline, Shiraishi noticed his own trembling and said.
It was not fear or fear, but joy for what kind of confrontation there would be in the next game.
How far can he achieve after one year of growth?
"bring it on!"
Tezuka saw Shiraishi ready to make a move and spoke seriously.
"Snapped!"
Shiraishi suppressed the throbbing of his body, threw the ball up, and then hit a precise baseline shot.
"boom!"
Tezuka got into position and swung his left hand to hit it back with his racket.
"drink!"
"ha!"
Then there was a constant back and forth between the two.
"What's happening here?"
"He stayed where he was and started not moving."
"That's the legendary Tezuka Domain!"
After witnessing Tezuka standing in the middle of the court and hitting the ball freely without moving, people who didn't realize it began to exclaim.
"Is that the junior high school student you are looking for?"
Can Retru looked at Tezuka on the court and asked Polk next to him.
"That's right."
"I used to think that he must be a player who can adapt to me."
The wounds on his body were still aching, but Polk spoke bluntly without changing his expression.
"But I feel that your desire for him is not as intense as before?"
Hearing this, Kan Letru knew about the gradual change in Polk's mind.
A month ago, it was great news that they could survive the "earthquake".
Although both Q·P and Polk suffered physical injuries due to exposure to the air pressure of the "infinite" power, fortunately, they did not leave any lifelong illnesses.
Just take some time to heal.
Today, as a match played by the Youth Academy, Polk ran out of the hospital on purpose.
He wanted to witness Tezuka's performance with his own eyes, and then made the final choice.
Can Retru's idea was not wrong. Polk was a little "distracted", so that he was not as enthusiastic about the opponent as before.
As if he had found a better goal, Polk was pursuing it.
Shirazu Jisei's strength is too unusual for a junior high school student.
If he chooses Tezuka, he still needs to train him more and wait for him to grow.
But if Bai Jin is his goal, maybe as long as he works hard to adapt, sooner or later he will reach far beyond the limit he originally imagined.
Tezuka = superior material, Shirazu = ultra-rare material.
In terms of material, this is probably what Polk had in mind.
By choosing Tezuka, he can still increase his own strength, but compared with Shirazu, the upper limit will be too far away, so he naturally wants to seek something better.
Yes, he was going to try to invite the boy to join Germany.
Although there is no clear contact yet, as long as the conditions are sufficient, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
And Tezuka is his last choice or "guaranteed".
"I'm just afraid that neither of them is a good person."
Kan Retru also roughly understood Polk's thoughts, and then sighed, feeling a little uneasy.
(Because we will rule the world!)
Thinking of the boy's words, he always felt uneasy for some reason.
"Hope is an illusion"
But he still couldn't think of the key problem, so he could only pray.
………
"Ah, it's such a joy!"
Shiraishi kept running around the court after hitting back Tezuka's shot again.
"Snapped!!"
Tezuka steadied the ball on his shoulder and then hit a slice.
"Zero chip?"
Shiraishi recognized Tezuka's signature move at a glance, and then rushed forward.
"Snapped!"
He hit a clean shot with grace before the ball hit the ground.
"Crack!"
Unfortunately, as soon as the ball touched the net, it immediately rushed to Tezuka's side.
It's like being attracted.
"boom!"
With one stroke, the ball was quickly hit to the opposite corner.
"0-15!"
With an accurate shot hitting the baseline, Tezuka scored the first point.
"Obviously I tried to eliminate as much spin as possible on the ball."
"But he can still activate Tezuka Domain"
"what is this?"
Shiraishi looked at Tezuka hesitantly, somewhat confused as to what was going on.
All along, Tezuka's launch of the field requires him to first give the ball spin.
But every time he received the ball from Tezuka, Shiraishi cleverly used the dead force to "knock out" the spin.
But the ball that was hit back was still absorbed away.
The principle behind this is difficult for Shiraishi to understand.
"His Tezuka domain seems to have become different."
Bai Jin looked at Tezuka's state, noticed the change, and then spoke.
"Even if the opponent removes the spin on the ball, Tezuka can still attract it."
"It seems that he has also made new breakthroughs in the field."
This means that Tezuka is more comprehensive again. If Tezuka's weaknesses in this field are overcome, he will become very difficult.
You know, the existence of the field is enough to give many players a headache.
Even Akaashi in the past had to use means to seal his territory in order to better score points.
"Still a long way to go."
Ryoma in the stands witnessed this scene, but suddenly spoke.
He knew that Tezuka was learning Nanjiro's special skills, which were not as simple as before.
But to be honest, Nanjiro once dominated the tennis world.
Field involvement requires rotational force?
That was a joke to Nanjiro.
Even if the opponent serves the ball without spin at the beginning, he can attract the ball.
Tezuka also had references and answers in the field and took a new step.
That was the "Samurai Domain" that perfected Tezuka's domain into Nanjiro's.
Once the weakness of rotation is overcome, the field is no longer a move that can be easily broken, but a "trump card" that Tezuka relies on.
"0-30!!"
"0-40!!"
"Aigaku Tezuka wins this round!"
"score."
"0-1!"
Tezuka took the lead in winning the next game with a steady attitude.
(Sure enough, eliminating the rotational force has no effect on the field at all.)
(In that case, you can’t count on it.)
After trying out such a result, Shiraishi had a headache.
Because it means Tezuka is even more invulnerable.
Tezuka was already getting closer to the perfect tennis ball.
PS:
Nanjiro's samurai domain is reflected in the theatrical version.
I can suck the opponent's serve directly, which is amazing.
