Mayfly Encirclement
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji and Kawamura score, 15:15"
Bang...
Bang...
"Higa Junior High School, Hirako Field - Chinen scores, 30:30"
Having learned from his first experience, Fuji became increasingly adept at responding to Fan Shi Qian's attacks.
Although Hirakoba shots, the situation on both sides has gradually become even.
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji Kawamura score, 40:30"
Once again, Seigaku's Second Doubles successfully scored a point under the Fan Shi Qian at the Hirakoba -bath, finally giving them a chance to break their opponent's serve.
Hirakoba doesn't know why, but he persisted in using the treatment even though the effects of the Fan Shi Qian were becoming less and less noticeable.
Even when the opponent has reached game point, they still don't care.
Seigaku's penalty kick came after Fuji accurately predicted Fan Shi Qian's shot trajectory.
This time, he even struck a pose Swallow Returns to Nest, proving that he had completely cracked the Fan Shi Qian.
Sure enough, after the tennis ball bounced off the ground, Fuji confidently swung his racket.
The Swallow Returns to Nest appears, and the spin that the Fan Shi Qian imparts to the sphere completes this incredibly effective shot.
The tennis ball landed in front of Hirakoba and then slid across the ground.
"Seigaku Fuji Kawamura score, making the score 4-3."
"It's really ugly."
"Now all the pressure is on us."
With the score at 4-3, the next game was Seigaku's serve again.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kawamura will use his Wave Serve to take the eighth game, bringing the score to 5-3. The victory in Second Doubles will almost certainly be handed to Seigaku.
"Fuji, let me play the next round. We can't drag this out any longer."
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
In order to allow Fuji to conserve more energy to deal with Hirakoba and Chinen, Kawamura volunteered to serve.
According to Kawamura's own estimation, hitting four more Wave Serve would not cause damage to his arm.
However, you can't hit the Wave Ball again after that, otherwise it will affect the rest of the game.
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji Kawamura score, making the score 5-3."
"Hirakoba, the Fan Shi Qian is useless now, I'll serve this game."
"No, Chinen, I'll play this round. They won't score this round."
Chinen somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why Hirakoba would say that, when the facts were clearly right in front of him.
However, seeing the determination in Hirakoba's eyes, Chinen finally gave in.
"So what if you've cracked the Fan Shi Qian? Now I'll show you my true strength."
Then, Hirakoba used the same pose as before when he used the Fan Shi Qian move, but this time the Fan Shi Qian was different.
As soon as the racket was swung out on the Hirakoba, the tennis ball began to move erratically.
"Great Fan Shi Qian!"
Bang...
"Higa Junior High School, Hirako Field, Chinen scores, 15:0"
"Big... Great Fan Shi Qian?"
"That guy actually had this trick up his sleeve..."
"To only bring it out at a time like this, they really have a big heart."
Great Fan Shi Qian appeared, even the students from Higa Junior High were stunned.
As someone in the know, Kite simply adjusted his glasses and said nothing.
Bang...
"Higa Junior High School, Hirako Field, Chinen scores, 30:0"
Bang...
"Higa Junior High School, Hirako Field, Chinen scores, 40:0"
The appearance of the Great Fan Shi Qian plunges Fuji and Kawamura into trouble once again.
In the blink of an eye, three balls were taken away, and Kawamura could only engage in ordinary rallies at this point.
"Looks like I still have to use this move, my Fifth Return."
"What!?"
"Fuji just mentioned the Fifth Counter!?"
What is that!?
Fuji's words were like a bomb, giving the Seigaku team a pleasant surprise.
"Tch, what are you talking about? I trained my Great Fan Shi Qian with great effort. Do you think you can deal with it so easily?"
Hirakoba scoffed at Fuji's words, not believing that Fuji could defeat Great Fan Shi Qian.
Filled with contempt, he hit a Great Fan Shi Qian.
The tennis ball, moving erratically in the air, flew towards Fuji remained standing still.
Then his eyes suddenly sharpened, he extended his racket, and the tennis ball was immediately caught.
Then, surprisingly, the racket changed its angle according to the ball's rotation, ultimately neutralizing the ball's spin.
Finally, the tennis ball seemed to be glued to the racket, moving with Fuji's racket.
After a few strokes of his racket, Fuji finally swung it towards Higa Junior High's half of the court, and the tennis ball flew at a relatively slow speed.
Hirakoba was stunned by what he saw.
He watched the tennis ball get closer and closer to him, and then further and further away.
You feel like you can reach out and catch it, but you find it's out of reach.
Just as the tennis ball was about to hit the Hirakoba, Chinen suddenly lunged to save it.
Although it was different from the Hirakoba, even though he could move, he still felt that the ball in front of him was very far away.
"Seigaku Fuji Kawamura score, 15:40"
"The Fifth Return: the Mayfly Encirclement."
"Great! A perfect comeback!"
"Unbelievable! It completely enveloped the complex rotation of the Great Fan Shi Qian, eliminated it, and then sent it back."
Gan, a theoretical expert, was quite shocked by the Mayfly Encirclement maneuver.
Hearing what Miki said, Horio suddenly thought of a possibility.
"By using the movement of the racket to eliminate the ball's spin, turning it into a ball with absolutely no spin, it seems I have a chance to master the 'Extinguished Zero' technique ahead of schedule."
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji Kawamura score, the score is 6-3, Seigaku wins."
Because Fuji used the Hirakoba Encirclement technique, Great Fan Shi Qian Mayfly Encirclement, was completely out of luck.
In the end, the Seigaku duo won the final game, securing victory in Second Doubles.
"Next up is the Second Singles match..."
After the Second Doubles ended, the referee reminded the players in the Second Singles to prepare. At that moment, Kai appeared on the court with his racket.
"Kai..."
"I understand, I will stop Seigaku's momentum."
Before Kite could finish speaking, Kai understood his meaning.
He twirled his racket in his hand and looked in the direction of Seigaku, saying this.
At that moment, a figure also appeared from Seigaku, twirling a racket; it was none other than Kikumaru.
The fact that Kikumaru was chosen as the Second Singles surprised everyone present.
The Golden Pair wasn't playing doubles; they were split up to play singles.
"Kikumaru should be able to handle it, since he usually plays doubles."
"There's no other way; the Coach said we have to keep the power of the Golden Pair hidden, so this is the only thing we can do."
"And not only are the Golden Pair not playing, but even Tezuka Captain isn't on the roster."
"Alright, Momo. Tezuka's arm has only recently recovered, and the Coach wants Tezuka to conserve his strength to avoid other schools finding out too much."
"So you're going to push me out there, right..."
Hearing Oishi's series of words about considering the bigger picture, Horio couldn't help but retort.
