Echizen Ryoma Keeps Showing Off
"The match between Kamio Akira and Echizen Ryoma begins now.💙👽 69ᔕhυא.Ⓞm 😝😝"
As soon as Mori Tatsunori, who was temporarily acting as referee, finished speaking, Echizen Ryoma swaggered to the net with his racket tucked under his arm, his gaze fixed on Kamio Akira on the opposite side, silently pondering:
"This guy should be around the same level Fudomine and Ibu Shinji. Judging from how easily he lost to Fuji- senpai, he must have some skill, but he's probably not much better than me..."
"Then, this match is going to be a long one!"
He came to Fudomine, the national champion, to challenge himself and improve.
Although the seniors in the school were all very strong, only Akutsu initially fought him, but they stopped fighting him later.
As for Fuji, he was treated like a younger brother and given preferential treatment.
As for the others, after understanding each other's strengths, they all entered training mode.
Therefore, he desperately hopes to encounter someone whose strength is similar to his own and who will use their full power.
This is also why I came to Fudomine. Besides the fact that Fudomine is close by and has strong opponents, I also hope to meet a truly worthy opponent Fudomine.
Kamio Akira's mindset was even simpler: since Saeki Muneyoshi had pushed him forward, then let him teach this arrogant little guy a lesson.
The two players took their positions at the net, Ryoma chose to go first with the coin toss. The match then officially began.
"The match begins, with Echizen Ryoma serving. The first set is over."
Snap... Snap...
Slightly bending over, Echizen Ryoma gently tapped the tennis ball a few times.
He glanced up at Kamio Akira's position opposite him, then tossed the tennis ball high with his left hand, jumped up, and raised his racket high with his right hand.
Echizen Ryoma is naturally confident, a result of his Old Man's upbringing. 🌷🍧 🐊♨
Even though his opponents already knew how to counter his Twist Serve, he still didn't give up using this signature move.
Bang!
He leaped up with his feet together, swung his racket down, and the tennis ball, like a streak of light, swiftly swept across the net, landing precisely and at high speed in Kamio Akira receiving area.
"He seems a bit stronger than when he first returned and fought Sasabe..."
Looking at Echizen's serve, Saeki Muneyoshi was slightly surprised. Echizen Ryoma's serve demonstrated a remarkably perfect foundation in tennis.
Moreover, the improvement in strength is also obvious.
Seeing this shot, Muneyoshi seemed to see Echizen Ryoma undergoing special training behind his father, Nanjirou, after a series of defeats.
As he served the tennis ball, Echizen smiled, not preparing to return the shot, but instead looking at Kamio with a beaming smile.
He felt that after his Old Man had taught him the Twist Serve for so long, this time the result was the best.
His Twist Serve is now more than twice as strong as it was when he faced Ibu Shinji.
This arrogant scene not only displeased Kamio Akira on the field, but also made other spectators feel that Echizen Ryoma was being too arrogant.
It's just a simple Twist Serve, are you really that confident?
"Kid, watch me hit you back."
Kamio Akira's Kamio Akira turned fierce. In his thirteen years of life, this was the first time he had ever seen such an arrogant brat.
Step... step...
Kamio Akira used his lower body strength, leaned forward, and sprinted towards the landing point of the tennis ball.
His powerful explosive force allowed him to quickly reach the landing point of the tennis ball, then he raised his racket, aiming at the tennis ball that was still spinning on the ground and had just bounced up.
Sizzle...
The moment the racket made contact with the tennis ball, Kamio Akira sensed the spin was off.
This is not the spin of Twist Serve.
Boom!
The tennis ball, which had just left the net, suddenly shot out, tracing a strange arc as it headed towards Echizen Ryoma's back.
Even now, Echizen Ryoma hasn't moved an inch.
He simply tilted his head slightly to dodge the incoming tennis ball.
Thump!
Out of bounds! 15-0, scored by Echizen Ryoma.
As the referee announced the verdict, Echizen's upturned lips became even more pronounced.
"You still have a long way to go..."
His words immediately drew angry glares from the members of the Fudomine Tennis Club off the court.
Kamio Akira was furious. He never expected that his careless move would give Echizen a chance to show off.
"You little brat, just because you won by a small point doesn't mean you can be so arrogant!"
"I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget..."
Echizen was well aware of Kamio's strength; he simply wanted to disrupt Kamio's composure with the first ball.
After all, the game has already started when the first player is pegged, and he can choose whatever tactics he wants to use.
On the court, Echizen Ryoma once again served with Twist Serve, but this time, Kamio Akira, who was prepared, did not give him another chance.
Bang...
"Kamio scores, 15-15."
Bang!
"Echizen Ryoma scores, 40-30."
Bang!
Step... step...
Watching the tennis ball fly over the net, Echizen Ryoma immediately started taking Single-Footed Split Step.
This technology gave him time to react, Echizen Ryoma was in front of the tennis ball in the blink of an eye.
Then, he gently raised his arm and, while returning the tennis ball, shouted out the name of his signature move for the first time.
"Drive B!"
Bang!
With a loud bang, a mustard-yellow light streak reversed and fell twice in Kamio Akira's half of the field, resembling the letter B.
Faced with this sudden change in the ball, Kamio Akira had already reached the landing point of the tennis ball, but he did not expect that Echizen would show a completely different move than Shinji had before the match.
Despite being prepared, he was still a step too slow and Echizen Ryoma scored.
"Game score 1-0, with Echizen Ryoma in the lead."
Having won the first game, Echizen smirked slightly. "What, are you not going to show the same level of skill you had against Fuji- senpai in this match, and go all out?"
"Underestimating your opponent will lead to defeat..."
Faced with Echizen Ryoma's provocation, Kamio Akira said nothing more. He could feel the gazes of the surrounding members, as well as the hostility in the eyes of Tachibana Kippei, who had just arrived.
If we can't take down this brat quickly, how will he ever face anyone again!
In silence, Kamio Akira arrived at his designated service court.
Bang!
Unlike Echizen, who seemed to be finding his rhythm with the ball, Kamio Akira tossed the tennis ball high and then hit it directly.
There are no unique techniques, but the tennis ball is extremely fast.
"ACE, 15:0, Kamio Akira scores."
"Oh? Not bad speed, but that's about it!"
Despite conceding a goal, Echizen did not panic, but instead crouched down in the backfield in a defensive posture.
Kamio Akira served again, but this time, the speed failed to reach its target. Echizen Ryoma also increased his speed to its maximum and barely managed to receive Kamio Akira's attack.
Having roughly estimated Kamio Akira's strength, Echizen finally struck first.
He then switched the racket to his left hand, preparing to quickly finish off Kamio Akira.
Bang!
Bang!
With Echizen's sudden change of speed and power, he actually broke Kamio Akira's serve...
Bang!
"Game score: 3-0, with Echizen Ryoma in the lead."
After winning another game, Echizen Ryoma's domineering aura remained undiminished.
"So this is the strength of Fudomine's Regular? They're really far from it..."
However, Echizen Ryoma uttered his words, the stadium fell silent.
Everyone could feel the anger burning in Kamio Akira's heart.
Kamio calmly walked to the bench at the side of the field and then removed the weights from his wrists and ankles!
The equipment that was originally not allowed to be removed during training and intra-team matches was taken off by Kamio Akira.
Thump...
The weight of the weights fell onto the lounge chair, producing a heavy, muffled thud.
Just from the sound, you can tell that these weighted buckles are quite heavy.
"To improve the speed of weight training, Kamio increased the standard you set for him by two kilograms, so now it's at least eight kilograms..."
Beside Muneyoshi, Tachibana Kippei revealed the information he knew.
For a moment, apart from a few Regular who had expected it, the other members of the Fudomine Department were all very shocked.
If these are all standard equipment items, does that mean Kamio wears them all the time during training?
Of course, the most shocked was Echizen Ryoma, whose eyes were fixed on Kamio Akira.
"You're competing against me while carrying weights?"
P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"
