Atobe had already landed and was standing by the net, looking at Fuji, who was empty-handed on the other side.

He smiled.

"Hey, Seigaku, scared by my skills? I won't hold back!

Pick up your racket and serve quickly, I'm in a hurry!"

Atobe was being unbearably arrogant!

Fuji slowly picked up his racket, searching for a way to win. His serve had already been broken, so serving again was pointless!

Actually, Fuji had another serve. Although the chance was slim, he still wanted to try it!

The current Fuji's strength was still a far cry from a year later. At least, in Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes, his current returns and serves weren't on the same level!

Fuji was now bouncing the tennis ball, his gaze sharpening.

Then he caught the ball, spun it hard with his hand, and it dropped downwards with spin!

Fuji's right hand swung his racket in a strange posture, hitting the spinning ball in front of him at extreme speed.

Bang!

The tennis ball flew towards Atobe with high-speed rotation.

As it flew, the tennis ball split into three! That's right, Fuji's irregular serve could now make the tennis ball spin at high speed, creating a visual effect of splitting into three!

In reality, there was only one ball.

Looking at the three tennis balls flying towards him, Atobe's eyes narrowed.

"Interesting, three balls? Reveal your true form!" Atobe's gaze contracted, and the three balls slowly merged into one in his eyes!

"I see it!"

With that, Atobe exerted force, and his entire body suddenly disappeared from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the ball's flight path. He stopped abruptly, waiting for the ball to arrive.

Bang!

The surrounding spectators watched as the ball bounced and then flew off in three directions.

"Fuji, I've seen through you again!"

Atobe said as he swung his racket, accurately finding the one ball.

To be precise, all three balls were decoys; the real one hadn't appeared yet, it had gone invisible.

After Atobe swung his racket, the ball shot towards Fuji's blind spot, passed through the crystalline structures in Atobe's eyes, and hit the court!

Thump!

Then the ball flew straight out of the court!

"Hyotei scores, the score is 30-15."

As the referee's voice rang out, Fuji lost the point again!

Because both of Fuji's serves were useless against Atobe.

"It's over, there's no suspense in Atobe taking this game!"

Hearing Chiba Yun Chuan say this, Ryuzaki Sumire retorted, "The match isn't over yet, you can't say for sure!" Even though she said this, she had no confidence!

Because the strength Atobe displayed was already very high, and he might not have even shown his full power!

Meanwhile, Fuji was being completely suppressed by him!

And!

But when she saw Chiba Yun Chuan before her, Ryuzaki Sumire felt like she was seeing Echizen Nanjirou!

The same confidence, the same aura of a strong player!

Most importantly, Ryuzaki Sumire saw confidence in Chiba Yun Chuan's eyes, a confidence of invincibility, of being the only one!

She hadn't seen such a gaze in a long time.

Only Nanjirou had it in his eyes, but now it actually appeared in the eyes of a first-year middle schooler, she was astonished!

On the court at this moment, It was still Fuji's service game!

Even though his serve had been broken, Fuji was still unwilling!

He gently spun the tennis ball in his hand, and it dropped downwards with spin. When it reached his knees, Fuji swung his racket fiercely at the ball, and the ball, with intense rotation, rushed towards Atobe again!

It spun continuously during this process, then disappeared!

"I told you, this move is useless against me!" With that, Atobe was already standing at the ball's landing spot. As the ball flew towards him, He aimed for Fuji's blind spot, swung his racket with force, and returned the ball!

The tennis ball shattered the crystals in Atobe's eyes once more.

BANG!

The tennis ball flew out of the court again under Fuji's stunned gaze.

"Hyotei scores, the score is 40-15!"

"Although Fuji is known as Seigaku's genius, there's still a gap compared to Atobe. If he were given another year, he might be able to compete with Atobe. But now, Hyotei will take this match!" Chiba Yun Chuan said softly as he watched the triumphant Atobe.

"Atobe's strength is indeed formidable, but since Fuji can be called a genius, there must be a reason for it!"

Although Ryuzaki Sumire could already see the outcome, she didn't want to admit defeat.

She still believed Fuji could win.

Hearing Ryuzaki Sumire's words, Chiba Yun Chuan didn't retort. Let the result show her how strong Hyotei was!

"I feel like the current Fuji is being seen through in every aspect. I hate this feeling!

Fuji has already been figured out by Atobe. Every return Atobe makes targets Fuji's blind spots or weaknesses!

I only discovered Fuji's blind spots and weaknesses after a long time collecting data!

If Atobe didn't collect this information beforehand, then his observation and insight skills are too strong," Inui said, looking at Atobe, who was smiling on the court, his tone growing heavier.

"As a player who has won four consecutive matches in the junior selection tournament, Atobe is basically an all-around player, but his Insight is even more terrifying!

Fuji, are you just going to stand there helpless?" Tezuka looked at Fuji, who had been playing tennis with him since their first year. For a moment, he wondered if he could win if he were on the court right now.

Tezuka's gaze was filled with contemplation.

At this moment, Fuji stood at the baseline, looking at Atobe opposite him with a solemn expression. This was the strongest middle schooler he had encountered besides Tezuka!

Of course, that was before he had played against Chiba Yun Chuan, otherwise he wouldn't think that way!

Back then, Chiba Yun Chuan was the strongest, no exceptions.

Fuji tossed the tennis ball in his hand upwards again.

BANG!

In the second rally after Fuji served, Atobe directly took the last point of this game!

"Hyotei scores, the score is 2-0!"

As the referee announced, Fuji lost his service game!

"What should we do? Fuji's serve was broken, how is that possible!" Kikumaru looked at Atobe and Fuji on the court, unable to believe it.

"Fuji is a genius! And he's lost two games in a row!"

"The opponent's Insight is extraordinary, and his skills are top-notch. It's not surprising that he's won two games! Now it depends on how Fuji responds.

I hope he can hold on a little longer so I can collect more comprehensive information," Inui said while writing in his notebook.

"What? Inui, don't you believe in Fuji that much? Fuji can definitely win! Fuji is that strong!" Kikumaru's voice was filled with anger. He still believed Fuji could win!

"Senpai Fuji will definitely win, he's that amazing!" Momoshiro also believed Fuji could turn the tables!
