The Beast Bobby

"Is everyone doing alright?"

"Sengoku, who has already been confirmed to play, seemed to be in good form just now. It looks like Bobby on the other side put a lot of pressure on him."

There are three other people whose identities are still uncertain, but I guess they've already started warming up for the competition.

Outside the stadium, on the tennis courts, Horio and Tezuka were analyzing the match arrangements.

Tezuka, who values the competition highly, is also very concerned about the players' condition, and Horio, who knows this well, has already conducted on-site inspections.

Sengoku, Fuji, and Kirihara have all already seen it; now only Ryoma remains, secretly practicing somewhere.

As the two walked and talked, they happened to run into Ryoma, who was practicing hitting a ball.

However, there was still one person in Ryoma's training area at this moment, none other than Kevin Smith, who had repeatedly provoked him.

Kevin's teammate Billy was also outside the arena. When Billy saw Kevin taunting him again, he was quite annoyed.

"What a coincidence, they still managed to run into each other in such a large area around the stadium."

"Tezuka, Horio, what are you doing standing here?"

Having finished his practice, Fuji saw the two standing and watching the show, and immediately went forward. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of Ryoma and Kevin not far away.

"Ah! Isn't that Kevin, Echizen..."

Fuji was about to step forward, Tezuka stopped him.

"Don't worry about Fuji- Senpai, we'll just watch from here. You must be curious to see how Ryoma will handle this, right?"

Horio naturally knew what Kevin Smith's purpose was in appearing, but he also wanted to see how Ryoma would handle this formidable enemy he wanted to defeat.

Kevin, who was not far away, said something and then turned around and opened the stadium door.

However, Ryoma didn't move. He muttered a few words and then turned around to continue practicing.

Kevin suddenly became a little angry at Ryoma's behavior, but Ryoma remained unmoved.

"It seems he's grown quite a bit during this time, Captain."

"Yes."

When faced with provocation from the enemy, one can suppress one's desires.

Choosing to handle the Ryoma in the best way finally brought some comfort to Tezuka.

"Now we'll begin the Third Singles match, with Sengoku Kiyosumi Kanto team."

"The West Coast team, Bobby Marx."

The two men elicited drastically different reactions upon their appearances; compared to Sengoku's lean and muscular build, Bobby appeared much more robust.

Moreover, with that face that doesn't match his age, he gives the impression of a walking little giant.

Seeing Bobby's exaggerated muscles, the spectators from various universities on the sidelines couldn't help but worry about Sengoku.

"His opponent is just a guy with some strength but a sharp mind. I think your boxing-style tennis combined with your brain should be enough to deal with him."

Upon seeing Bobby's appearance, Horio immediately revealed Sengoku's opponent's most fatal weakness.

"Lady Luck is on my side today, of course I have to win."

"In short, your opponent is a power tennis player. As long as you can disrupt his power, the match will be a sure thing. Good luck."

Hi Bobby, nice to meet you.

"Hey sissy, I'm gonna beat you flat."

On the field, when Sengoku greeted him, Bobby replied with a single sentence in English.

"What did that Bobby just say?"

"Hey sissy, I'll beat you to a pulp," that's roughly what it means.

"Um... I'm sorry, my English has never been very good."

Kikumaru, whose English wasn't very good, didn't understand what Bobby meant, so Ryoma kindly translated for him.

"Fortunately, Sengoku's English doesn't seem to be very good..."

"But Sengoku doesn't seem to have misunderstood, you see."

Just as Kikumaru was feeling relieved for Sengoku, Fuji noticed Sengoku's unusual behavior.

On the court, Sengoku, who was standing at the baseline preparing to serve, had a very serious expression on his face.

"The match begins, Sengoku Kiyosumi serves."

Upon hearing the referee's voice, Sengoku's mind was still replaying Bobby's words.

"You call me a sissy and want to beat me to a pulp, huh? Well, if that's what you think, then I'll go all out from the start."

Sengoku then tossed the ball up and unleashed the Super High-Speed Spin Serve he had used against Momoshiro during training.

After intensive training and subsequent individual practice, Sengoku's Super High-Speed Spin Serve was now even more powerful than it had been during his match against Momoshiro.

Even Kirihara and others watching the match from the sidelines were surprised when the tennis ball flew out.

Looking at his confident serve, Sengoku seemed to have already anticipated that he would score a point.

But just as Sengoku was thinking this, Bobby's figure had already appeared behind the ball.

Then came a simple elbow swing, with explosive power flowing from Bobby's arm to the racket and finally concentrating on the tennis ball.

A return shot even more powerful than Super High-Speed Spin Serve appeared, and before Sengoku could react, the tennis ball had already bounced off the ground.

Bobby Marx scores, 15-0

"What was that ball all about...?"

"It was like a thud, I caught it, thud, I hit it back, and then bang, it scored."

"Seriously, what are you even talking about?"

Kaitou, who was watching the game, was a little confused by the simple and brutal shot. Momoshiro's description was even more straightforward.

"Regardless, that Bobby is indeed a very strong player. To be selected for the national team to participate in this kind of competition, none of them are simple characters."

The person standing to the side couldn't figure it out either, only knowing that Bobby was very strong.

Meanwhile, in the Yamabuki players' viewing area, Sengoku was also somewhat worried.

"Consider yourself lucky. I'm going to have to work harder now."

Sengoku was also somewhat stunned by the attack, quickly recovered and unleashed a powerful Super High-Speed Spin Serve.

But the result was the same; Bobby simply swung his racket with his elbow and returned the ball with a backhand.

"Look carefully, you'll definitely see it."

As Bobby returned the ball again, Sengoku, with his superior dynamic vision, stared intently at the returning ball.

I saw it!

After carefully observing and analyzing the situation step by step, Sengoku immediately moved and unleashed a powerful forehand swing.

The tennis ball collided with the racket, but there was no immediate return of the shot.

At this moment, Sengoku's expression was a little off; the force coming from the racket made it difficult for Sengoku to return the hit.

Ultimately, it couldn't withstand the immense force, and the tennis ball flew backward again after hitting Sengoku's racket.

Bobby Marx scores, 30:0

Seeing his racket sent flying, Sengoku could no longer contain his shock and looked at Bobby, who stood opposite him with a relaxed expression.

Bobby looked at Sengoku, who was stunned by her punch, and revealed the smile of a wild beast toying with its prey.
