The Clash

"They weren't scared at all. If a regular serve doesn't work..."

Seeing the fighting Kamio and Ishida across the field, Hirakoba smiled slightly and then tossed the ball high over his head.

Bang!

The sunshine in Okinawa is much hotter than in Tokyo, which is why the members of Hirakoba and Higa Junior High have a wheat-colored complexion.

Bathed in Hirakoba, his wheat-colored arms swung rapidly, his racket striking the center of the net once again, catching the falling tennis ball.

However, compared to the purity of his first serve, the power of his serve was more subtle.

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The tennis ball left only a pale golden afterimage in the eyes of the spectators before quickly landing in front of Kamio Akira's left.

"It is indeed fast, but I am faster!"

Kamio Akira didn't even blink, and quickly took a step forward.

Tap tap tap...

He took a step forward, shifted his body, twisted his ankle, and swung his racket in a special posture. At the same time, the tennis ball appeared at that spot.

Just as Kamio was about to force the ball back with Kamio racket.

Tennis has undergone an unexpected and peculiar change.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The tennis ball bounced up and twisted like a snake, creating very complex curves in mid-air.

This caused Kamio's swing to miss completely, and the tennis ball flew past Kamio's defense and out of bounds once again.

"Wow... that's an amazing curve serve! How did you do that?"

Ibu Shinji, who had a deep understanding of spin, widened his eyes. He had been watching the court intently and was also surprised by this shot.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation, Whirlwind Spin."

After finishing his game at Hirakoba, he smiled at the two silent Kamio Akira, Kamio and Akira, a hint of contentment appearing on his handsome face.

"Is this the multi-curve sphere that the minister mentioned before, with its extremely complex variations?"

Kamio Akira's eyes flickered as he recalled the force his opponent had used the moment he made his move.

"That kind of shaking is a unique power-generating technique specific to their region."

Muneyoshi, standing on the sidelines, also had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This type of multi-variable curveball is also known as a curveball. He can also play this style, but he achieves it by using strong spin.

The way they exert force is different from their opponent's.

The martial arts style in Okinawa is different from the ancient martial arts styles in other regions, and he would like to learn from Kite if given the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Muneyoshi turned to look at Tachibana beside him and asked, "Did the other schools use this move before?"

"No, Higa Junior High School is quite strong; they won easily." Tachibana shook her head.

"It seems that the other side was actually certain from the beginning that this doubles match would be their main focus."

Bang!

"ACE! Higa Junior High scores! 40-0!"

The unpredictable, multi-faceted curves left Kamio Akira with no good solution for the time being.

Across from the stadium.

Hirakoba maintained his confident smile, "Our Higa Junior High isn't something anyone can easily underestimate..."

Bang!

The crisp sound of the ball hitting the shuttlecock completely drowned out his soft murmur.

"Game score, Higa Junior High, score 1-0."

"Change of scene!"

With Hirakoba Rin and the other two securing a winning start.

The substitute players from Higa Junior High regained their previous morale and, as if they had won, continued to taunt the Fudomine players' area.

"Hirakoba!!! You see that? Fudomine!"

"Kanto boy, this is the true strength of our Higa Junior High students!"

"Guys like you should just kneel down and admit defeat! You weaklings are no match for us at Higa Junior High!"

"These guys..."

"They really dare to say that!" Upon hearing the shouts of the substitute players from Higa Junior High, Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Kamio!"

"Don't worry, Ishida, let's teach them a lesson now!" Kamio Akira said coldly.

"Chinen!"

"That redhead on the other side is about to serve. His serve isn't very powerful, but let's show these guys what we're made of!"

Hearing the cheers and encouragement from the sidelines, Hirakoba Rin's smile grew even brighter.

When Kamio Akira, standing on the service line, saw that smile on his opponent's face, his coldness intensified, and he gripped the tennis ball tightly.

"You're so cocky after just one win? Watch me crush you, with my Sonic Bullet!"

Boom!

Toss the ball and swing the racket!

The tennis ball left a trail of afterimages in the air before landing steadily on Higa Junior High's half of the court.

Upon seeing this, Hirakoba, who was responsible for receiving the ball, stopped smiling, stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, and held the racket with his arm bent.

Looking at the tennis ball hit by Kamio, Hirakoba's eyes flickered. "It's useless."

"Shrinking Ground Technique!"

He stomped his foot on the ground, producing a dull thud that gave him tremendous explosive power.

Swish!

He took a step forward, and then, as if he had vanished in an instant before the eyes of Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu, he moved directly from the front half of the court to the baseline.

Bang!

Suddenly disappearing and then suddenly reappearing, Hirakoba returned the tennis ball directly.

"Here we go again..."

Kamio's eyes gleamed. This time, his concentration was even greater. With Muneyoshi's guidance, he was no longer distracted by the other party's special methods.

The so-called "Shrinking Ground Technique" actually means keeping the upper body basically still, especially the head.

Then, with a very distinctive aura, he concealed his presence and quickly moved to the baseline of the court.

"Snort!"

"I've seen through that move too!"

As Kamio Akira moved forward, his gaze drifted towards the half of the field at Higa Junior High.

Although he couldn't see through everything at this point, he had the methods taught to him by the minister.

"What kind of Shrinking Ground Technique? If it's really that useful, let's see who's faster!"

A cold glint flashed in Kamio Akira's eyes as he swung his arm and easily smashed the tennis ball back towards Higa Junior High's half of the court!

Hehehe!

"We've been fooled again! Fudomine's ace doubles team is nothing special after all!"

Chinen Hiroshi, who had "disappeared," reappeared at the net, let out a loud laugh, and then suddenly pulled his body up in front of the net!

"Just admit defeat, Fudomine!"

Boom!

Chinen Hiroshi swept his racket sharply, and the tennis ball that had just flown over the net was intercepted and smashed back by Chinen Hiroshi without any pause!

The tennis ball landed!

After kicking up a cloud of dust, it immediately bounced back rapidly towards the edge of the field.

Only.

Just as the tennis ball bounced back, a black racket suddenly intercepted it, unleashing a powerful force.

Like a streak of blue and white lightning, the tennis ball bounced back immediately upon touching the net, instantly tearing apart the two players' defenses.

Boom!

Hiss hiss hiss...

The powerful shot created a deep dent in the iron net behind Higa Junior High, stunning everyone, including the cheering crowd from the Higa Junior High.

"Fudomine Junior High scores, score 15-0!"

The referee's voice rang out again, startling everyone awake.

"Chinen Hiroshi's smash was returned with even more force?"

"How is this possible? How could Fudomine possess such immense power?!"

"I heard it's called the Wave Shot!"

"If this hit someone, they would die, wouldn't they?"

"That's a dangerous move!"
