"One Ball, One Spirit!"
BANG!
After a huge sound, the tennis ball seemed to disappear, instantly arriving in Seigaku's half of the court!
It bounced off the ground before Inui and Kawamura could react, then flew out of bounds!
"Did the ball just disappear?"
"A disappearing serve!"
"Yeah, you can't see it at all!"
"Hyotei scores, 15-0."
The referee's voice rang out.
Only then did they snap back to reality.
"What?" Inui exclaimed in disbelief!
"What's going on? I can't react at all!" Kawamura was in the same situation!
"The ball speed is at least 190 KM/h. Their serve is very fast; this is beyond the level of ordinary middle schoolers!" Inui pushed up his glasses and spoke to Ootori Choutarou on the other side.
Seeing Chotaro score with his serve, the Hyotei members excitedly discussed it again.
"Taro's serve got faster again, right? The speed must be around 190 km/h?" Oshitari said, watching the match on the court.
"Yeah, besides Chiba Captain and Atobe, no one at Hyotei can easily return Taro's serve, right? Seigaku definitely can't either," Gakuto said firmly.
Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction after seeing Ootori Choutarou's serve. This serve speed is already top-tier for a first-year like Taro!
This was the result of his special training for him. He wondered if Inui could still find a weakness?
Chiba Yun Chuan was a little expectant.
"Inui on the other side uses data tennis, and with Kawamura's Wave Ball, Taro and Shishido aren't guaranteed to win!" Seeing their excitement, Atobe directly poured cold water on them.
"Atobe, you seem to know a lot about Seigaku's situation. Did you investigate them?" Everyone asked, looking at Atobe.
"This is just basic information; it's not a big secret," Atobe replied casually.
Meanwhile, the spectators who had witnessed Ootori Choutarou's serve were still whispering.
"What kind of serve is this? Are the Hyotei players a bunch of monsters?"
"The ball speed is too fast; you can't see it at all!"
"What kind of serve is this? I can't see it!"
Chotaro's serve directly won a point.
"Looks like we have good luck today! A great start, don't you think, Shishido-senpai?" Taro took out another tennis ball and said while tossing it up.
When the tennis ball reached its highest point!
"One Ball, One Spirit!"
BANG!
The tennis ball disappeared again! It landed in the middle of the court, bounced, and flew out of bounds!
"Hyotei scores, 30-0."
Inui and Kawamura didn't react.
"Looks like Chotaro's feeling is good today! He's scored with two serves in a row! Right, Kabaji?" Atobe said, watching Chotaro score two consecutive points.
"Yes."
"You're too loud, Atobe. Can't you let me rest for a bit?" Akutsu directly voiced his dissatisfaction loudly.
Atobe, who wanted to continue showing off, frowned but quickly relaxed.
On the coach's bench.
"How is it, Coach Ryuzaki? This first-year's serve is quite good, isn't it?" Chiba Yun Chuan said with a smile.
"A first-year? It's indeed surprising. However, first-years should focus on building a solid foundation. Including you, Chiba, this kind of approach will greatly impact your fundamentals!"
Although Ryuzaki Sumire was shocked by the first-year player Ootori Choutarou's serve, she still emphasized her point!
On the court, Inui didn't panic despite not being able to see the opponent's serve.
"Ryu, don't panic. Let me observe a bit more!"
"But, Inui, the serve is really fast! I can't return it at all," Ryu said loudly.
At this moment, Chotaro tossed the tennis ball up again.
"One Ball, One Spirit!"
However, this time the tennis ball grazed the net as it passed, so its speed decreased slightly!
But Inui still couldn't see it. He could only rely on his intuition.
Inui swung his racket with all his might at the empty air in front of him, but he didn't hit the ball!
Bang!
The sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground echoed, and the ball flew out of bounds once again.
"Hyotei scores, the score is 40-0."
As soon as the umpire's voice fell, The crowd erupted in cheers for Hyotei with this point!
"Go Hyotei!"
"Hyotei is sure to win this doubles match!"
"Chotaro's serve is too strong!"
"The opponent's serve is really strong. Inui and Kawamura can't even see the tennis ball," Fuji said worriedly, watching the situation on the court.
"We have to believe in Inui and Kawamura! They can do it!" Tezuka said, watching the match on the court.
Hyotei was just one point away from winning this game.
Ootori Choutarou tossed the ball up, preparing to deliver the final blow to Seigaku!
One Ball, One Spirit!
The tennis ball was even faster!
Inui still couldn't see the trajectory of the ball! But he still wanted to rely on his senses to return it!
Inui swung his racket at the air again, but still missed.
Bang.
The tennis ball flew past Inui, blowing his clothes up!
"Hyotei scores, the score is 1-0.
The first game is over, and the two sides will switch courts!"
As the umpire's voice faded, the first game concluded!
Seigaku didn't score a single point in this game, they didn't even touch the ball!
"Is this Hyotei's first doubles pair? They're too strong!"
"Even their doubles pairs, who were always unknown, are this strong. How strong must Hyotei's Captain Chiba Yun Chuan be?"
"This serve from the guy named Taro is amazing!"
"This is too easy. They've already won a game with Taro's serve. As long as they break Seigaku's serve, this match will be a sure win!" Atobe said to the Hyotei members at this moment.
"Yeah, Chotaro's serve is too strong!"
"Shishido's pair is very strong!"
Gakuto and Oshitari echoed the sentiment.
"However, it's too early to make a conclusion. Do you see that guy wearing glasses, Inui? He's a troublesome opponent!
I hope Shishido and Chotaro know when to hold back. But it doesn't matter if they lose, victory will ultimately belong to us, right Kabaji?"
"Yes."
After speaking, Atobe crossed his arms and looked at Chiba Yun Chuan on the coach's bench.
He noticed that Chiba Yun Chuan was looking at a corner. Following his gaze, he saw the back of a girl!
He was very surprised!
"Chiba, so you're that kind of person!"
Atobe decided to use this as a condition for challenging Chiba to a practice match.
"Aren't you guys bored?" Akutsu looked at Oshitari and Atobe, his words laced with mockery.
At the same time, he looked at Kawamura Takashi on the court, wondering what he was thinking.
"What did you say!" Atobe's arrogant voice rang out from the Hyotei team.
At this moment, the players on the court had already switched sides and were preparing to start the match.
"The match begins, Seigaku serves!"
The coach's voice sounded.
"Kawamura, let's proceed according to my plan!" Inui said to Kawamura from the baseline.
"Got it, Inui."
Kawamura's eyes sharpened, and he said firmly.
Shishido, standing at the net, heard their words but didn't take them to heart at all.
