"With such a pace, the instantaneous paralysis has basically been broken."
"It's dangerous here at Fudo Peak."
"Huh?!" With a soft cry, everyone saw Echizen Ryoma's figure suddenly activate, and the racket intercepted the tennis ball in advance.
A bolt of lightning burst out from the racket, hitting a tennis ball with thunder and lightning. It crossed a lightning-shaped arc, hit the opponent between the two, and flew out of the court.
"This is..." Liu Lian'er frowned: "A new skill?"
"Lightning volley." Tan Taiyi shouted loudly with the cheerleaders.
"Lightning volley, interesting." Li Hai nodded slowly.
The score started to get tense.
"boom."
"Game, 3-3."
"Game, 4-3, Rikkai Big Jack Kuwahara and Marui Bunta are in the lead."
"Binding Dao No. 9: Collapsing Wheel." The tennis ball crossed the sky and suddenly turned into a slender yellow rope that dexterously wrapped around Jack Kuwahara.
"boom."
"Game, 4-4."
The score was evened again.
"Why are these guys so resilient?" Jack Kuwahara and Marui Bunta were sweating profusely.
Echizen Ryoma and Ibu Fukaji were in even worse condition, gasping for breath.
The physical exertion on both sides is huge.
"It's unimaginable that the combination of Echizen Ryoma and Itake Shinji could push Marui and the others to this point." Yanagi Renji said with surprise: "In the previous Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament, their winning rate against Marui and the others was only 11%. But now, they can completely threaten Marui and Jack, their progress is too fast, especially the first grade."
Yanagi Renji's eyes fell on Echizen Ryoma, and his tone was filled with fear.
After a brief rest, a new round of confrontation began.
"boom."
"This ball is so fast." Itake Fukaji took heavy steps and struggled to catch up with the ball. When his feet were bare and he exerted force, his body braked suddenly and swung his right hand. The tennis ball immediately arced towards Jack Kuwahara who was behind him. And go.
"Backspin! But my arm is completely fine." Jack Kuwahara waved his arm, and the racket brought up a large afterimage.
The ball quickly headed towards the opposite half.
"Chi chi chi." Echizen Ryoma slid forward, sparks sparking from the friction between his shoes and the ground, his expression confident.
After the person glides to the exact landing point, he leans forward, jumps up suddenly, and draws out his right hand.
"B-stroke."
"boom!"
The tennis ball curved and hit the opponent's front net violently.
"This move is useless to me." The bubble gum in Marui Bunta's mouth burst suddenly, and as his body jumped, the racket was already in front of the tennis ball.
"Bang!" The tennis ball flew rapidly, hit the ground and flew out of the court.
"No, Echizen, your skills have been cracked. Do you still have the energy to use lightning volleys?" Ibu Fukaji asked breathlessly.
"No more, senior." Echizen Ryoma said in a low voice with a forced smile on his face.
"That's about it. I've tried my best to be able to fight to this level." Chitose said regretfully: "This is the problem with our current doubles at Fudomine. Except for me and Tachibana, there are no national-level doubles. Facing this Li Hai’s doubles match is quite difficult.”
Fudomine also considered splitting Tachibana and Chitose internally, but because they were worried that the other party would have similar ideas, adding the national level into the doubles would be too random.
Moreover, Chitose and Tachibana did not get along with others, so this idea was put on hold for the time being, and the original plan was still to have Chitose and Tachibana form a doubles team and steadily score one point.
"Bang." Marui Bunta appeared in front of the net. With a flick of his wrist, he easily cut the tennis ball to the opposite side.
The tennis ball landed lightly on the net, rolled a short distance and landed in Echizen Ryoma's half.
"Game, 5-4."
Both sides have exhausted their cards, and the outcome is basically doomed.
Next, Marui Bunta and Jack Kuwahara frequently exerted their strength, and the characteristics of their combination were fully reflected.
Although Jack Kuwahara does not have any cool skills, he has a solid foundation, strong pace and strong defensive ability.
At first, Echizen Ryoma could still rely on their brilliant skills to deal with each other.
After almost all his skills were broken and his physical strength was insufficient, Jack Kuwahara, who had been in a defensive posture, began to counterattack.
"boom."
"6-4, Rikkai big Jack Kuwahara, Marui Bunta wins."
"Game, Rikkai University 1-0."
With the referee's announcement, the game officially ended, and Tatekai won the first game.
There was no surprised reaction.
"Compared to a top junior high school like Tachibana University, Fudoho's doubles team is still a little weak." Inui Sadaharu rolled his eyes and said slowly.
"But the competition has just begun. You can't even see the peak. Everyone is calm." Fuji Shusuke said with a smile.
Everyone looked towards Fudo Peak.
"Perform well, try your best next time." The Fudomine members, including Aoi Kamishiro, did not criticize them in any way. Instead, they encouraged Echizen Ryoma and Ibu Fukaji.
"Sorry." Echizen Ryoma and Itake Fukaji looked remorseful.
"I'm sorry, Minister." Echizen Ryoma walked up to Kamishiro Ami, not daring to look at Kamishiro Ami's face.
Looking back on his own competition history, he was frustrated to find that he had almost never won.
"Don't blame yourself, Echizen, don't stop moving forward." Jindailan patted Echizen Ryoma on the shoulder, and then looked at Echizen Nanjiro: "Are you right, coach?"
"Ahem, it makes a little sense, but you're still far from good, kid." Echizen Nanjiro wanted to encourage Echizen Ryoma, but his words turned into teasing again.
"Hey!" Echizen Ryoma turned his head in displeasure.
"Hmph, it's so boring." Akutsu hugged his chest in displeasure and looked at Tatekai Dai viciously: "I must crush them."
"The next doubles match will be played." After a short break, the second doubles match began.
"Fudomine's Chitose Senri and Tachibana Yoshihei vs. Tatekai Dai's Yagyu Hiroshi and Kirihara Akaya."
"Akaya Kirihara? This guy can still play tennis?" Fudomine looked stunned.
"Okay, okay! It's my turn~~" Akaya Kirihara shouted and jumped into the arena, while Yagyu followed behind with a calm face.
"The other party has given up." Jindailan looked away and said calmly.
"A person who is sealed by the Swastika Ban will lose all memory of playing tennis. Even if there is muscle memory, he is equivalent to learning tennis from scratch. His level will definitely not reach the Kanto level. Rikkai strategically gave up this game. , the purpose is to let Kirihara experience national-level strength.”
"Game, 6-0, Fudomine Chitose Senri and Tachibana Yoshihei win."
In less than ten minutes, the game ended. Yagyu and Kirihara stood there, not even sweating much on their foreheads, with confused expressions.
They lost miserably.
"Is this the real master?" Kirihara looked at the racket in his hand with a helpless expression.
"The next three singles matches will be between Fudomine's Akutsu and Tatekkai University's Nioh Masaharu."
"Nioh Masaharu, Tachikai Dai's fraudster, what he is best at is imitating the skills of a tennis player. This game is very interesting." Inui Sadaharu said slowly.
Fuji Shusuke: “I wonder if he can imitate Jindai’s skills~~”
