At Kannagi Shinichi's low growl, the tennis ball exploded with a bang. It seemed to carry immense force as it roared over the net.
Boom...
The ball hit the ground, shaking the entire court. Dust billowed up and obscured Atobe's half.
Atobe stared at the shot, momentarily stunned. He had seen Kannagi's Smash Technique, Kou Sanze In Naraku, before, but this was his first time witnessing this move, and it still left him shaken.

Atobe's future was far broader than his present. Kannagi wanted to ignite his
