Secret Technique
"Wave Shot, Seventh Form!"
Boom!
As Ishida Tetsu seized another opportunity, the racket and the tennis ball collided violently.
A powerful explosion rang out, a white shockwave burst forth, and the tennis ball made a deafening whooshing sound as it flew through the air.
Familiar scene, familiar force!
The tennis ball slammed into Rikkai Dai's half of the court like a missile!
When Ishida Tetsu hit the Wave Shot, Marui Bunta in the attacking third still didn't react at all.
He knew he couldn't return the shot, but Marui Bunta knew he had an incredibly reliable teammate standing behind him.
Once he gets used to it, he can retaliate against such attacks!
Facing the incoming Wave Shot once again, Jack Sanohara did not hesitate at all, using the power of his run-up to bring his entire body's strength to the racket.
Holding the racket with both hands, he once again charged head-on at the Wave Shot.
A sweeping motion with the racket.
Boom!
With the violent collision of the tennis ball and racket, a screeching sound of friction rang in Kuwa's ears.
The power of the Wave Shot was directly upgraded to the seventh form, which was much stronger than the first form. This was the second attempt.
The tennis ball, carrying immense force, once again smashed through Jack Sanohara's racket and flew off the court.
"Game! Ishida Tetsu and Kamio Akira of Fudomine Junior High score! Score 4-3!"
"Change of scene!"
The tennis ball flew out, and the referee immediately blew his whistle.
The two teams passed each other in the middle, neither side uttering a word.
Although Fudomine just won this point and took the lead.
However, no one, including Ishida Tetsu, showed the slightest bit of joy on their faces.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, after getting used to two Seven-Style Wave Shot in a row, Jack Sanohara almost managed to return Ishida Tetsu's Wave Shot attack.
"How is Kuwa?"
"You're still a little short. Next time, next time should be enough!"
Standing in the backcourt, Jack Sanohara glanced at the racket in his hand and said to Marui Bunta beside him.
"It seems the Wave Shot is more powerful than we thought. Don't worry about it, Kuwa!" Marui Bunta turned to Jack Sanohara and blew a bubble.
"It's only one point! We'll catch up quickly! And they won't be able to hit many more of those 'Wave Shot'!"
"Um!"
Jack Sanohara.
As the referee blew his whistle, Ishida Tetsu and his three teammates returned to their formation, and the match continued!
Rikkai Dai Marui Bunta's serve!
Swish!
Marui Bunta glanced at Kamio Akira across from him, then slowly tossed the tennis ball into the air, flicked his wrist, and forcefully hit the ball with his racket as it fell.
Bang!
A crisp sound of the ball hitting the court rang out, and the tennis ball whistled towards Ishida Tetsu's baseline corner in the backcourt of Fudomine!
Ishida Tetsu returned the ball forcefully, but Marui, who had just finished serving, had already rushed to the net and flicked the ball with his wrist.
"Don't even think about it!"
A glint flashed in Kamio Akira's eyes as he instantly discerned Marui Bunta's intentions. His figure left afterimages across the field, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with the ball!
Kamio Akira swung his racket diagonally downwards and hit the tennis ball back the instant it bounced back.
Just as the tennis ball flew over the net, Marui Bunta was already standing in front of the net, his racket slicing down from above, directly intercepting Kamio Akira's attack.
Marui Bunta's slice shot was delivered at a very tricky angle.
However, Kamio Akira was also very excited at this moment, and began to exert his strength at the net, hitting the tennis ball back with sharp smashes.
"This guy! He actually wants a net match?!" Marui Bunta's eyes flashed when he saw Kamio Akira's move.
"I'll grant your wish!"
Bang!
A fierce battle unfolded between the two players at the net, with Kamio Akira pushing his speed to the limit, while Marui Bunta began to showcase his dazzling net shots.
" Those from Rikkai Dai, you'd better keep up!"
Bang!
Tsk~
After a few exchanges, Kamio Akira decided to strike first, hitting a beautiful backspin shot that sent the tennis ball hurtling toward Marui Bunta's feet at incredible speed.
Upon seeing this, a look of joy flashed in Marui Bunta's eyes. He tilted his racket and then slashed at the tennis ball!
The falling tennis ball was quickly lifted, and then, just as it cleared the net, it touched the net!
"Touch the tennis ball!"
To Kamio's astonishment, when the tennis ball touched the net, it didn't roll down. Instead, it started rolling to the left on the net until its kinetic energy dissipated, at which point it finally rolled down the net!
"Secret technique! Tightrope Walk ~"
Marui Bunta's lips curled up slightly as he blew a bubble from the chewing gum in his mouth!
"30-0, Rikkai Dai Marui Bunta scores!"
Bang!
The tennis ball was moving very fast. Kamio Akira, who was in charge of receiving the serve, received the ball and noticed Marui Bunta running around on the other side. So he attacked Marui Bunta with the ball again.
Whoosh...
As the tennis ball was returned, Kamio Akira quickly moved to the net.
Marui didn't pay much attention to Kamio Akira's net play; seeing the ball coming, he also attacked Kamio.
Marui Bunta has never been afraid of his opponent in the attacking third.
Marui Bunta, now fully unleashing his power, no longer held back, displaying his signature techniques one by one.
"Secret Technique! Time Lag Hell..."
Bang!
"Game, the combination of Rikkai Dai Marui Bunta and Jack Sanohara scored, the score is 5-4."
Entering the deciding game, neither side gave an inch.
Bang!
Bang!
In particular, the two boys at the net began to showcase their speed, reaction time, and forecourt skills to the entire audience.
In the net battle, Kamio Akira's technique, which was not yet fully proficient, began to improve again under the pressure of Marui Bunta.
Until the very end, the two players barely needed to think; they naturally attacked each other with the tennis ball, constantly hitting volleys.
However, compared to Marui Bunta's well-rounded offense and defense, Kamio Akira was much weaker in defense, and as the match progressed, he began to be suppressed by Marui Bunta, who had taken the initiative.
Marui Bunta used his flexible wrist to constantly change the direction of his shots, while Kamio Akira used his superhuman speed to keep chasing after the ball.
Bang!
15:30.
Bang!
30:40.
"Whoosh!"
"Secret technique, Hit the Goalpost..."
Bang!
After a fierce battle, Marui hit the tennis ball again, this time completely deviating from its trajectory and seemingly about to fly out of the court.
"That's out of bounds!"
Upon seeing this, Kamio stopped in his tracks.
Just when everyone thought Fudomine and his partner were about to win the point, the tennis ball crashed directly into the net post.
Knock knock...
Kamio Akira turned around in surprise and saw a tennis ball rolling behind him.
"40:40, the combination of Rikkai Dai Marui Bunta and Jack Sanohara scored."
As the referee finished speaking, Marui Bunta blew bubbles and spoke softly.
"How about that? Pretty brilliant idea, right? I'm a genius..."
"Not enough, I can go even faster!"
I have to be fast!
As the final ball approached, Kamio Akira's mind went completely blank.
Now, he only has one thought in his mind: to become faster, even faster than he is now!
With the support of his mental will, an invisible current of energy swirled around Kamio Akira's body!
Kamio Akira's body created gusts of air on the court, and he reappeared in front of the tennis ball as if by teleportation, his racket unconsciously falling towards the ball!
Faster!
Kamio Akira's racket flashed through the air, and the tennis ball vanished instantly!
At this moment, Kamio seemed to be without thought or feeling, everything was empty, but the faint wisps of air could not escape Muneyoshi's eyes.
"This is... the initial step into the state of no-self? No... it's a little different!"
Whoosh!
The tennis ball was also incredibly fast, instantly leaping over the middle net and heading straight for Rikkai Dai's backcourt!
Then Marui, standing at the net, leaped up.
"Secret Technique! The Perfect Fantasy Fortress!"
Swish!
Marui intercepted the ball before it had even reached its maximum speed and returned it to the baseline.
At this point, Ishida Tetsu had already prepared his bottom line!
Whoosh!
The tennis ball, spinning rapidly in mid-air, whistled down towards Ishida Tetsu!
At the moment the tennis ball landed, Ishida Tetsu's gaze was unusually calm. Apart from the falling tennis ball, everything else was completely ignored by Ishida Tetsu.
At this moment, the muscles in his right arm were taut, and his strength had been condensed to the limit!
The next instant!
Ishida Tetsu slammed his racket down on the falling tennis ball.
"Wave Shot, Eighth Form!"
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
Facing the Wave Shot, which was even more powerful than before, Jack Sanohara did not hesitate at all. He lowered his center of gravity completely as he charged forward.
Without waiting for the tennis ball to land, he used all his strength to swing his racket directly at the Wave Shot.
A sharp tearing sensation came from the racket, and a slight pain stimulated Jack Sanohara's brain.
But he didn't let go; instead, he let out a roar!
Boom!
With a loud, piercing crash as the tennis ball and racket collided violently, Jack Sanohara was knocked down once again.
However, with his last bit of strength, he sent the tennis ball flying heavily toward Kamio Akira.
Bang!
Kamio Akira simply couldn't withstand that kind of power and could only barely use his racket to block it in front of him.
Thump!
"Game! Rikkai Dai Marui Bunta, Jack Sanohara team won, score 6-4!"
"Rikkai Dai leads 1-0 overall."
The match ended, and the referee immediately announced the score.
In the second doubles match, Fudomine lost, but everyone witnessed the growth of these two first-year students!
Even Muneyoshi couldn't find any fault with them!
