Fuji's Counterattack Begins

The tennis ball flew over the net, and just as it was about to fall, Shiraishi moved again, hitting a slice shot before it bounced off the ground, successfully returning the Swallow Returns to Nest).

"They slapped it back before it even landed!"

"Swallow Returns to Nest has been thwarted!"

Swallow Returns to Nest was broken, Fuji didn't hesitate and countered with a similar counter-attack.

The tennis ball flew towards Shiraishi again, and just as Shiraishi was about to swing his racket, the tennis ball suddenly flew into the sky.

After the Swallow Returns to Nest was broken, Fuji then summoned the White Whale.

The tennis ball suddenly plummeted as it reached its highest point, then spun rapidly and bounced back along the same path.

Shiraishi stood motionless in front of the net from the moment the tennis ball flew into the air, and just as the ball bounced back and was about to cross the net, Shiraishi extended his racket.

He caught the returning tennis ball, adjusted the racket angle, and the ball bounced and landed in the near corner of the net in Seigaku's half of the court.

Bang...

Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, 15:0

"The White Whale has also been destroyed..."

"Two counterattacks have been broken; the situation is dire."

"It's alright, it's just that Swallow Returns to Nest and White Whale have been broken. Don't forget how many trump cards Fuji- Senpai still has."

Because Shiraishi quickly countered Fuji's double counterattack, Oishi was extremely anxious.

However, Horio kept his eyes fixed on Fuji, and his expression remained unchanged despite all of this.

Horio's words temporarily calmed the worried Seigaku members, but Shiraishi still held the advantage on the field.

Bang...

"Shitenhoji scores, score 2-0"

"That was incredibly satisfying, Fuji. You're more than that, Fuji? You still have some tricks up your sleeve, right? Bring them on!"

After the second game ended, Shiraishi looked relaxed.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll grant your wish."

Shiraishi's provocative words did not anger Fuji. Fuji smiled and answered Shiraishi before turning and walking towards the bottom line.

In the third game, Fuji tried hitting the ball to every corner, but Shiraishi always managed to return it in time.

Ultimately, Fuji's Fuji probing of Shiraishi resulted in him being led astray by Shiraishi, and he was ultimately caught off guard and scored against Shiraishi.

"What's Fuji? Where's your special counterattack technique? Trying to hide it?"

The third game had reached Shiraishi's game point. Seeing that Fuji had not used any of his counterattack moves, Shiraishi taunted him again.

Fuji did not respond when he heard Shiraishi's voice.

After several rounds of rallies, Fuji hit a Lob Shot on one of his returns.

Shiraishi seized the opportunity to jump and smash, finally bringing Fuji to the Brown Bear Drop with a powerful strike.

Fuji stepped back with his left foot, then twisted his back and swung his racket to catch the smash.

However, Fuji seemed to have underestimated the power of the tennis ball; the ball, which he had already received, broke through his racket's defense.

Fuji also felt that he hadn't used enough force, and in the end, his racket was knocked away, and the tennis ball fell to the ground.

"Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, score 3-0"

"Damn it, they've already won three games in a row in the blink of an eye."

"Judging from the current situation, Shiraishi is superior to Fuji in Fuji skill and strength."

"Shiraishi's movements are quick and free of unnecessary actions or habits. They seem ordinary, but he achieves maximum effect with minimal effort."

"It's already 3-0, Fuji should start his counterattack soon."

The classic triple counterattack and the Disappearing Serve were countered, and Fuji roughly understood Shiraishi's strength.

"What? Even Fuji Syusuke, who's called a genius, only reached the regional level of the Kanto Tournament in the end."

"Shiraishi is superior in spirit, technique, and physique. It seems like his opponent is just swinging his racket and making a show of it."

"Shiraishi's current strength is all the result of hard work."

At Shitenhoji, Oshitari Kenya and Konjiki Koharu were also somewhat disappointed with Fuji's performance.

However, Watanabe Shu, as Shiraishi's Coach, was more impressed by Shiraishi's hard work. He believed that Shiraishi had achieved what was considered a bible through countless days and nights of practice.

"Fuji, your tennis is flashy, but it's all show and no substance."

After breaking through the Brown Bear Drop, Shiraishi completely dismissed Fuji's tennis skills.

Upon hearing his skills being described as flashy but impractical, Fuji's expression finally changed.

Bang...

"Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, score 4-0"

Bang...

"Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, score 5-0"

Bang...

Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, 15:0

Bang...

Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, 30:0

Faced with the infinitely perfect Shiraishi, Fuji couldn't regain any advantage.

They then lost two more games in a row, to the point where they would lose if they lost just two more points.

"I'm so sorry, Fuji, I'll keep playing perfect tennis until the very last point, although there's nothing more boring than perfect tennis."

However, if a team fails to win three matches, it cannot advance, so no matter how boring tennis is, winning is the only thing that matters.

At the very bottom, Shiraishi was very disappointed.

I thought I could have a great game, but the result was completely unexpected.

The tennis ball was hit, and Fuji prepared to return it.

Just as he swung his racket, he saw Shiraishi already standing at the net, racket raised and waiting.

However, the move had already been made, and the tennis ball still flew towards Shiraishi's position. As Shiraishi swung his racket down, the tennis ball landed once again on the front court sideline furthest from Fuji.

Shitenhoji Shiraishi scores, 40:0

"Fuji, the reason my tennis is called the Bible is because it approaches infinite perfection through continuous victories."

To be honest, Fuji Syusuke, I originally thought you were close to Horio's level, but unfortunately... you're not."

"Really? You are indeed very strong, but you actually think my tennis is all show and no substance."

Having secured match point, Shiraishi looked at Fuji in the distance with disappointment, then turned to leave. It was at this moment that Fuji finally spoke.

"In that case, I'm thinking of just letting you score. Because only by making you lose when you're closest to victory can I perfectly prove my tennis skills."

At this moment, Fuji's tone completely changed, and his words were full of aggression.

Sensing this huge change, Shiraishi immediately turned around, and when he saw Fuji again, his eyes widened.

Fuji had already closed his eyes, and a faint light emanated from his body.

"Keep going, you still have one goal left. Win just one more and you'll win."

Fuji, who had been squinting, closed his eyes completely, but walked to the receiving area with the precision of someone who had opened their eyes.

"No matter what tricks you try, victory will surely belong to Shitenhoji."
