The Clash of Auras

Tachibana Kippei, who was extremely sensitive to auras, suddenly became serious, as he was now releasing his aura.

Even so, he still sensed a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

"Has the opponent already made their move with their aura?!"

"Let's see whose path to aura is more powerful!"

Without further hesitation, Tachibana Kippei tossed the tennis ball into the air again, swinging his arm forcefully.

Bang!

A ring of energy spread out from the surface of the racket, and a dark red glow enveloped the tennis ball, which flew directly to Akutsu's right baseline position.

Thump!

This ball was not only fast, but also had a strong spin, making its landing point very tricky.

Although Tachibana Kippei has always presented himself as a power-type player, his skills are also quite good among junior high school students.

Due to its spin and force, the tennis ball bounced off at an angle after reaching Akutsu's feet.

Previously, Akutsu would probably have needed some strategies to deal with such a serve.

But right now, it poses no threat to him.

Tachibana Kippei was well aware of this, so after serving, he went to the net without hesitation.

His trump card was fully revealed in his match against Muneyoshi. As an all-around Hyper-Offensive player, the baseline is simply not his strong suit.

If he stays at the baseline, pulling the ball from a distance will only deplete the power and spin of his shot.

Only online, in a head-to-head battle, can he fully utilize his advantages.

The audience outside the stadium cheered instantly upon seeing this.

As expected, his serve posed little threat to Akutsu.

Akutsu only moved a few more steps before catching up with the tricky serve.

With a flick of the wrist, power is unleashed.

Bang!

Not only that, Akutsu also ran towards the net after finishing his move.

They were evenly matched, both being players who loved playing at the net.

Akutsu's return shot had just cleared the net when Tachibana Kippei was already at the net.

Facing the rapidly approaching tennis ball, Tachibana Kippei showed no panic. He came to the net and displayed even greater strength than he had from the baseline.

Before the momentum of his forward thrust had dissipated, Tachibana Kippei used it to slightly lower his right hand, stomp his left foot, and leap into the air to smash the ball.

The tennis ball was slammed into him with great force.

However, scoring was not so easy. Just as Tachibana Kippei's return shot crossed the net, Akutsu appeared in front of Tachibana.

"What was that move that guy from Seigaku just made?"

"Wow, that's fast!"

The first-year students at Fudomine and the audience were all stunned by Akutsu's speed.

It took Akutsu less than two seconds to get from the corner to the net, showcasing Akutsu amazing explosive power.

With a playful smile, as if teasing its prey, Akutsu also unleashed a sharp volley.

"Hmph! You actually want to have a match with me online?!"

Faced with Akutsu's repeated provocations, Tachibana Kippei could no longer ignore them and began to retaliate.

Bang!

Bang!

... Bang! Bang!

The two, somewhat caught up in the excitement, began an astonishingly high-speed duel at the net.

Among the spectators, those with slightly poor dynamic vision might not even be able to see the ball clearly.

Of course, both Akutsu and Tachibana Kippei possessed astonishing dynamic vision.

The cheers began to subside, and the audience held their breath, afraid of disturbing the two people in the arena.

Such an amazing net play is very rare in junior high school.

At the same time, their completely different auras began to collide and entangle.

Their presence was constantly leaking out, which was felt by many ordinary spectators around the stadium.

"This is... this is terrifying!"

Those who were close by felt a tremor in their legs.

During the tense moment of their confrontation, their spirits were drawn into it as well. Many people felt as if they had just witnessed a ferocious lion roaring and then pouncing.

In Akutsu's direction, a terrifying shadow seemed to lurk within the grayish-white aura, its extremely fierce and tyrannical aura constantly attacking the lion.

As the fight raged on, the atmosphere between the two sides grew increasingly tense.

A tense atmosphere filled the entire venue, with everyone watching intently, afraid of missing such a thrilling match.

"Akutsu, you did a good job, but can you still hold them off like this!"

During the duel, Tachibana's domineering voice rang out, his tone filled with certainty.

However, this tone violated Akutsu's biggest taboo.

Bang!

The tennis ball struck the racket and net, producing a thud.

The tennis ball was once again hit by Tachibana Kippei.

As the tennis ball flew towards his backhand side again, Akutsu's pupils contracted, and his gaze turned cold.

"Tachibana Kippei, who do you think you are!"

"Watch me crush you!"

Provoked by the words just spoken, Akutsu seemed to be reminded of another person from Fudomine, and instantly went all out.

The saying goes, "Courtesy demands reciprocity."

Now that Tachibana Kippei had spoken, he naturally wouldn't hold back any longer.

Snap!

Akutsu's hands hung naturally at his sides, his eyes fixed intently on Tachibana Kippei like an eagle's.

Seeing the ball coming right in front of him, he finally started to move, bending his knees and pushing off the ground, leaping backward and twisting his wrists in the process.

In a flash, Akutsu cut into the tennis ball at a clever angle.

With a ripping sound.

A grayish-white aura emanated, enveloping the tennis ball, which trailed a soft grayish-white light in mid-air.

An incredibly fierce aura seemed to be concentrated in the tennis ball, instantly tearing apart Tachibana Kippei's black and red aura, causing Tachibana's expression to change slightly.

He knew Akutsu was serious!

A thought flashed through her mind, and Ju squatted down to the side, pressing her racket down extremely low, and launched a rapid topspin lob from the bottom of the tennis ball.

Bang!

Call out!

The tennis ball rose rapidly, tracing a steep parabolic arc.

The tennis ball flew past Akutsu's neck, the gust of wind stinging his cheek.

How will Akutsu respond to this shot?

Tachibana's eyes were fixed on Akutsu's figure, trying to predict his next move.

Sudden.

Akutsu's figure, bobbing up and down at the net, disappeared from his sight; Akutsu's figure vanished from the net.

"When!"

Tachibana Kippei was startled and immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, Akutsu reappeared, leaping high to intercept the tennis ball flying backward and upward.

"I'll crush you!"

Akutsu grinned maliciously, raised his right arm, and smashed the racket down hard.

A streak of light flashed past Tachibana Kippei, breaking through the black and red aura once again. The shockwave was like a knife, cutting Tachibana Kippei's face painfully.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!

"Game, Seigaku Akutsu scores, 1-0."

"How is this possible!"

"Orange was actually broken in the first place?"

"The deputy minister actually lost in the online duel?!"

"Is Akutsu Jin of Seigaku really that good?!"

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"
