Commanding the Entire Court
Then, Keith once again unleashed Spiral Dust Wind, scoring consecutive points.
However, Akutsu's adaptability is quite astonishing.
Through constant head-on collisions, he was desperately trying to adapt to this move. By the last ball, he was even able to instantly disperse the three air masses surrounding the tennis ball.
He was just a step away from playing real tennis, and this progress once again impressed Keith.
Under the influence of Saeki Muneyoshi, Keith knew a great deal about his rivals in the Japan high school world.
Under Professor Muneyoshi's training in Multi-ball Play techniques, the special move he developed by combining the previous Three Star Combination is now facing the risk of being broken so quickly.
Unbeknownst to Keith, his opponent Akutsu was even more excited than he was at that moment.
With the score at 3-0, it was Akutsu's turn to serve again.
"Let's fight, Keith!"
Akutsu threw the ball, all the muscles in his body twitched incessantly, his entire body working together like a sophisticated machine.
Akutsu once again stirred up a dangerous and ferocious aura, injecting it into the tennis ball.
Bang!
The intense spin and powerful force propelled the tennis ball like a bullet through the barrel, causing it to plummet rapidly after clearing the net.
Laugh!
Bang!
The tennis ball rolled rapidly on the ground, leaving a clearly visible mark, before eagerly launching itself upwards, heading straight for Keith's face.
The gust of wind that rushed towards him felt like a blade, slicing across Keith's face.
Although Keith wasn't afraid of tennis balls that directly attacked his body like that, even Keith had to take a half-step back to return the ball at that upward angle.
However, it was precisely this retreat that gave Akutsu an opportunity.
His lips parted in a sinister grin, and the silver-gray aura enveloping the tennis ball burst forth instantly.
It transformed into a terrifying figure and attacked Keith directly.
Faced with this situation, Keith lost the best opportunity to return Akutsu's sidespin serve and could only dodge the attack and return it.
However, after hastily returning the ball, Keith immediately sensed something was wrong.
As expected, Akutsu's pale face appeared in the frontcourt.
With explosive power, his body stomped on the ground, and a powerful shot from the depths of his lungs pierced through Keith's flank defense.
"Seigaku Akutsu Jin scores, 15:0."
Bang!
"Fudomine Keith, 30-30."
Bang!
A sharp thud echoed throughout the arena as the tennis ball, spinning wildly, once again hurtled into Keith's court.
Sizzle!
The tennis ball bounced up rapidly after landing, circling once before hurtling straight towards Keith's cheek.
This time, Keith was truly enraged. His face was filled with murderous intent, and his expression was icy. Nearly a year of underground tennis career had naturally made him far more patient and resilient than the average person.
This time, Keith stood firm.
Bang!
His right hand was wedged into the front of the racket handle, desperately trying to block the ball that was bouncing towards his face and push it away.
"This is!"
Suddenly, Keith's expression hardened. The tennis ball in front of him was enveloped in a silvery-gray aura. The moment his racket made contact with the tennis ball, this aura belonging to Akutsu rushed out.
It wrapped around his arm like flowing water, pressing heavily on his shoulder.
This sudden change and the unusual attack of the aura left Keith with absolutely no time to prepare.
He bent his elbow inward, creating space for the racket that was blocking his body.
However...
"That force!"
The moment the tennis ball hit the racket, Keith sensed something was wrong. The opponent's attack wasn't just about the aura, but also the power inherent in the tennis ball itself.
This was not only a powerful, high-speed return, but also an irregular smash.
Sizzle...
The tennis ball twisted violently from side to side, constantly tearing at his racket net, Keith's right wrist trembled slightly from the twisting force.
In addition, Akutsu's other attacks were also wrapped around her wrists and shoulders.
Keith frowned, a look of pain appearing on his face.
Then, he pressed down hard on his arm, his body suddenly twisted, and after giving his elbow enough room to rotate, a faint blue light appeared, and he pulled the racket diagonally.
"Hahaha, die, Keith!"
Seeing that Keith was disturbed by his aura, Akutsu, whose entire body was enveloped in the aura, seemed to become even more aggressive.
He leaped up, arched his body into a lobster shape, and slammed the racket down powerfully.
Boom!
Akutsu unleashed a powerful smash from midfield, the force of which seemed to tear even the air itself apart.
"Game 1, Seigaku of Akutsu scores, score 1-3."
On the field, Keith broke free from Akutsu's aura restraints and gently rubbed his wrist. Akutsu's sudden change of move just now had a hint of using auras by Tachibana Kippei.
But they are completely different.
"What's wrong, Keith? Is that all you've got?"
Akutsu walked slowly to the front field, his pale face revealing a pair of arrogant eyes filled with mockery.
"If you're out of the game, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Keith merely snorted at Akutsu's arrogant words and went to the left service area to prepare to serve.
Since the other party is being so aggressive, it would be completely out of Keith's style not to retaliate.
"Akutsu, you've really angered me. Prepare to face my wrath!"
Swish!
Without any other movement, Keith tossed the tennis ball straight up, his knees together and slightly bent.
"Drink!"
As the tennis ball reached its highest point, Keith pushed off with his toes, tensing all parts of his body simultaneously, his vertically stretched arms like an axe, fiercely cleaving downwards.
Bang!
A crisp, sharp crack echoed, and the tennis ball was slammed into the ground, leaving a blur.
Call out...
Without any other airflow, just pure speed, the tennis ball seemed to pierce through the air's resistance at this moment, a sharp whistling sound ringing in Akutsu's ears.
"It was just a regular high-speed serve, and they didn't even use that particular move anymore..."
Akutsu's gaze swept over the tennis ball in the air, and he quickly made a judgment in his mind.
"That move wasn't something he could just throw around; there must be other hidden dangers I'm unaware of!"
Understanding this, Akutsu immediately laughed loudly, "Keith, you're actually playing such simple tennis? Are you scared? If you're scared, then watch me!"
Tap tap...
Akutsu moved with lightning speed, lunging forward like a cheetah, and quickly caught up with the ball's landing point.
Although the speed of this serve was already extremely fast, Akutsu had tried several times to serve even faster than Saeki Muneyoshi's.
Therefore, he can still receive such a serve!
"Go back here!"
Bang!
A sharp yellow light flashed, and the person was sent flying backward.
Keith's movements were equally swift; he hadn't originally intended to defeat Akutsu with such a serve.
Serving like that is merely preparation for the next shot.
Keith took long strides, his slender body arriving ahead of the tennis court, his short, light blonde hair flying in the wind, and his light blue eyes filled with a cold light.
With a gentle clench of his fist, a wisp of azure light appeared around his body.
"Akutsu, you better not die!"
As Keith's voice faded, the aquamarine light became incredibly dazzling.
This time, the azure sphere phantom no longer appeared in his hand, but instead transformed into a circular pool of water, enveloping the entire tennis ball.
Faced with Akutsu's aggressive and continuous attacks on his body, Keith made no further attempt to hold back and unleashed his signature move.
He was prepared to teach his opponent a lesson and show Akutsu what real, violent tennis that attacks the body is like.
Countless streams of air converged in Keith's hands, continuously gathering towards the azure water surface, and after a moment, formed a massive gas cloud dozens of times larger than the Gemini.
Without the slightest pause, Keith's movements were incredibly fluid.
The moment the giant cloud enveloped the tennis ball, he swung his racket with lightning speed.
Bang!
The ball of air enveloped the tennis ball, which Keith then hit away.
Swish!
Swish, swish, swish...
The sound of tennis balls rubbing together filled the air.
The air mass also grew larger and larger.
As they gazed at the massive cloud of air approaching, a look of shock flashed in the eyes of everyone, including Akutsu.
But after the initial shock, Akutsu was not afraid; he even tried to break the airflow with his racket before retaliating.
But this time, he underestimated the power of this move.
The air mass was so large that it couldn't be dispersed simply by swinging the racket.
The air mass was like a wall of air, and the tennis ball was like a depth charge, forcefully tearing everything in front of it apart.
Ultimately, Akutsu was knocked off his racket by the tennis ball enveloped in a cloud of air, and his body was also hit hard by the tennis ball.
He flew four or five meters like a falling leaf, crashing heavily into the stands where people were watching the game!
Keith was incredibly terrifying at that moment.
At that moment, the entire stadium was filled with surging air currents.
