"Outside the line, Lin Xiu of the Immovable Peak scores, 40-0."

Inui Sadaharu failed to receive the serve again.

Because it was a doubles match, the two players took turns receiving the serve, and Inui Sadaharu's second return was not enough to break through Lin Xiu's Gemini.

The two players switched positions, Fuji returned to the receiving position.

His eyes, now fully open, were filled with solemnity, a sharp glint brewing within them.

"Two balls... In that case, let's just dodge the first one."

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the court, Lin Xiu was serving his fourth time.

"Senior Lin Xiu's Gemini are truly amazing!"

"Yes, and he even taught us, but I couldn't learn it..."

Just as the first-year students of Fudomine were discussing this, Lin Xiu served the ball once again.

Having focused his attention to the extreme, Fuji could clearly sense that the moment Lin Xiu made a grasping motion, a phantom-like pale yellow Light Ball appeared in his hand.

Fuji took Fuji step forward and started running quickly, arriving precisely at the landing point of the tennis ball.

However, his gaze remained fixed on the illusory ball of light surrounding the fast-moving pale yellow tennis ball.

Fuji slid his right foot back, swung his right arm back, and swung it at the tennis ball that had just bounced up.

Just when everyone thought Fuji was about to suffer another defeat, after swinging his racket a short distance, Fuji casually flicked the racket sideways with his wrist.

The racket was raised again after easily avoiding the round ball of air.

He flipped the racket around like a toy and then slammed it heavily into the real tennis ball behind him.

Bang!

A very powerful smash with a shakehand grip.

Lin Xiu's Gemini was directly countered by Fuji.

The tennis ball traced a golden arc in the air before bouncing off Lin Xiu's feet with a surprising agility.

"Seigaku's score: 40-15."

"Oh, Fuji- senpai!"

"I knew it wouldn't be difficult for Fuji."

Fuji's direct retort immediately enlivened the previously silent Seigaku players' area.

The very energetic Momoshiro Takeshi and Kikumaru Eiji shouted even louder.

However, Lin Xiu was much calmer than them. He knew very well that the Gemini technique couldn't be maintained for long.

It might have a miraculous effect on ordinary people, but it will be quickly cracked when facing geniuses.

However, this is doubles!

Fuji Shusuke could break the code doesn't mean that Inui Sadaharu could.

Swish!

The pale yellow tennis ball was tossed high into the air once more, and a pale yellow spherical phantom reappeared in Lin Xiu's left hand.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiu mobilized all the muscles in his body.

Bang!

With a sudden downward thrust of his long, powerful arm, the tennis ball exploded against the racket, creating a circular shockwave.

The Gemini gas cloud has reappeared.

"Game, Fudomine, 1-1."

Lin Xiu's prediction was correct; Inui Sadaharu was not Fuji, and Inui Sadaharu indeed could not handle this move in just two or three balls.

"Akan, you won't need to stand on the court for anything except serving and receiving..."

Fuji looked at Inui Sadaharu's target with a hint of apology, but Inui Sadaharu understood.

"How could I possibly mind having the opportunity to Fuji you so closely, Fuji?"

"Don't worry, I'll back out."

A similar situation was unfolding on the other side of Fudomine, where Sakurai Masaya also received a similar order.

The match then entered a peculiar singles situation.

Bang!

The tennis ball spun back and landed directly on the other side of the baseline in the half of the court. Fuji Shusuke was prepared and returned the ball the instant it bounced off the ground.

Bang!

As the tennis ball flew towards the opposite half of the court, Fuji moved again.

He abandoned his defensive and counter-attacking tennis style and became extremely aggressive, immediately moving to the net.

In a matter of moments, he had already rushed to the net, while Inui Sadaharu simply sat on the baseline, playing a defensive role.

"Going straight online? Has Fuji changed his style, or is he just playing very aggressively today?"

Muneyoshi watched Fuji's series of actions, feeling a mix of doubt and unease.

After all that has happened, Fuji was first defeated by Muneyoshi, then by Tezuka, and now he has been surpassed by Akutsu. In the preliminary rounds, he was defeated by Tachibana Kippei.

Even if he were the most composed person in the world, I doubt he Will Not Be Nothing.

Furthermore, unlike the original work where Fuji only started to exert his full potential in the latter half of his third year, the current second-year Fuji...

If Muneyoshi's unease comes true, then Seigaku's danger level will rise to another level.

On Fudomine's side, Lin Xiu received the tennis ball. He originally intended to Drop Shot, but seeing Fuji Shusuke rushing forward, he had no choice but to rotate his wrist and hit the tennis ball behind Fuji.

Step... step...

Without pausing his running, Fuji's body swiftly pressed towards the landing point of the tennis ball.

The tennis ball had Fuji landed when Fuji reached out with his racket to intercept it. He then glanced at Lin Xiu's position, feeling the breeze, Fuji let out a low shout.

"Beluga whale..."

Bang!

A deafening thud echoed across the court as the tennis ball soared through the air in a wide arc, passing right past Lin Xiu in the frontcourt before slamming heavily against the baseline rim.

Then, just as Lin Xiu was about to catch up, the tennis ball miraculously flew across the court and returned to Fuji's hands.

This shot, aided by the power of the wind, was incredibly flashy. Even Lin Xiu, who had anticipated and prepared for it, was stunned by Fuji Er's dazzling technique.

"15:0, Seigaku's Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu score."

As this point ended, the expressions of the tennis pros watching from other schools also began to turn serious.

Although this match is called a doubles match, it is actually a singles match.

However, the strength displayed by Fudomine and Seigaku players in the recent one-ball battle has exceeded their expectations.

Whether it's Fuji Shusuke's serve or his incredibly powerful returns using his unique tennis skills.

Lin Xiu's powerful ability to move forward, backward, left, and right, as well as his precise ball control even when changing the direction of the shot, made them feel quite troubled.

Bang!

On the court, Inui Sadaharu served his second serve, then quickly moved back to the baseline.

Fuji Shusuke went online again, leading to a standoff with Lin Xiu.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu did not hesitate and immediately began a head-on confrontation with Fuji Shusuke at the net.

Bang!

As the tennis ball was hit, Lin Xiu unleashed his explosive power to the fullest, rapidly advancing to the net.

The tennis ball transformed into a streak of yellow light, flying directly to Fuji's feet.

Just when everyone thought Fuji was going to wait for the tennis ball to land before retaliating,

He moved his entire body forward again, his hands outstretched like a bird in flight, then he stood sideways, his right knee bent, and his left hand held out in front of his body.

With a twist of his body, he forcefully snapped his right knee.

Sizzle~

A golden crescent moon shone brightly in the sky.

Call out!

"The first of Triple Counter: Returning Swallow!"

Bang...

The tennis ball, spinning wildly, swept over the net and landed on the ground.

Instead of bouncing up, it glided past Lin Xiu's feet, who was already in a catching position, at lightning speed, skimming along the ground.

"30:0, Seigaku's Fuji Shusuke and Inui Sadaharu score."
