Hundred-Armed Giant Goalkeeper
Fuji's performance has completely reversed the situation. Even though the score is not enough to reassure the Seigaku team, the two games just played have proven everything.
The eighth game began, and it was Shiraishi's serve again.
The tennis ball in his hand was gripped tightly, Shiraishi's state of mind changed somewhat.
"Calm down, that White Dragon move must have a weakness."
Shiraishi told himself this before tossing the ball up in his hand.
Then, with the sound of the ball being hit, the tennis ball flew out, and Fuji immediately chose to hit Phoenix's Return to Nest.
Seeing that Shiraishi Fuji this way from the beginning, Shiraishi immediately realized that the White Dragon might appear after he defeated the Phoenix's Return to Nest.
Shiraishi quickly moved to the net and hit the rapidly falling tennis ball back.
Then, looking at Fuji, and seeing that Fuji had indeed struck that familiar pose, Shiraishi immediately ran back to the backstage area.
But as he turned and ran away, a slight smile appeared on Fuji's lips, even though he was already somewhat making unfounded accusations.
Thump...
"Seigaku Fuji scored, 15:0"
Then the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground and the referee's call stopped him in his tracks, and he turned around in astonishment.
A tennis ball rolled in front of the net, but the imagined scene of it flying into the sky did not occur.
"Damn it! Shiraishi was tricked! Fuji never even intended to fight White Dragon!"
"No, I think Fuji originally intended to use White Dragon, but Shiraishi saw Fuji assume a backhand stance and immediately ran to the backcourt, so Fuji changed his mind at the last minute."
Shitenhoji's words were not accepted by Coach Watanabe Shu, Watanabe Shu face, with one eye covered by a fisherman's hat Kazuki Yuji, showed a somewhat amused expression.
"Shiraishi, what's wrong with you? You're actually scared by your opponent."
Shiraishi realized that his mistake had caused the point to be lost, and having learned his lesson, he went to the net again after hitting his serve.
Because Fuji used Phoenix's Return to Nest again, Shiraishi's gaze remained fixed on Fuji after he countered with Phoenix's Return to Nest to its Nest.
After Fuji's backhand swing, the tennis ball changed its trajectory from in front of him before quickly running towards the backcourt.
However, he underestimated the power of the evolved White Whale, also known as the White Dragon.
The speed at which the White Whale falls after soaring into the sky gives its opponent time to retreat to the backfield, but this is not the case with the White Dragon.
On the court, Shiraishi turned and retreated the instant the tennis ball flew into the air.
However, the White Dragon's rapid ascent and subsequent rapid descent gave Shiraishi no chance to retaliate.
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji scored, 30:0"
"Too fast! Fuji has added even more spin to the tennis ball."
"It's simply impossible for Shiraishi to return the ball to the backcourt after Fuji's swing."
"Unless he defends before Fuji swings, the White Dragon bounces to the right after landing, so Shiraishi runs a farther distance than he does from where the White Whale lands."
"So, in the current situation, if Shiraishi wants to recapture Fuji's White Dragon, he can only gamble that Fuji will use White Dragon after Fuji runs to the backcourt."
After analyzing the situation, Gan quickly drew a conclusion.
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji scored, 40:0"
"Oh no, the distance is too far. I need to be faster to hit the ball after it hits the ground."
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji scored, the score was 3:5"
After Shiraishi's second unsuccessful attempt, Fuji won the eighth game.
"No, we can't pick up much speed anymore; we have to think of another way."
Realizing that he could no longer increase the speed of his steps, Shiraishi had no choice but to find another way.
While Shiraishi was thinking, Fuji had already hit the ball out from the baseline. Shiraishi reacted quickly and swung his racket to return the shot.
Fuji hesitation, Phoenix's Return to Nest attack.
"Damn it! Is this all Fuji Syusuke?!"
At this moment, Zaizen Hikaru of Shitenhoji was somewhat exasperated, but he couldn't stop Fuji from scoring with the combination of Phoenix Returns to its Phoenix's Return to Nest and White Dragon.
On the court, the tennis ball had already flown out when Shiraishi came to the net and hit the ball back just as it was falling.
Then Shiraishi moved, Fuji thought Shiraishi was going to retreat prematurely again.
Just as he was about to score with a short ball, Shiraishi Fuji.
"Good idea. Moving to the middle position not only allows for timely return of short balls, but also enables you to run to the backcourt the instant the ball flies out."
"It seems the White Dragon has also been defeated."
Seeing Shiraishi's actions, the audience immediately understood his purpose.
On the court, Fuji Shiraishi didn't perform as he had before, leaving him with no choice but to unleash the White Dragon.
Upon seeing Fuji's movement, Shiraishi immediately ran to the right rear and finally caught the ball after it bounced to the right after landing.
The tennis ball was returned by Shiraishi, causing him to momentarily relax his Shiraishi.
This gave Fuji another chance to attack. Fuji appeared at the net and hit a close-range shot at the left half of the court, aimed at Shiraishi.
Bang...
"Seigaku Fuji scored, 15:0"
Even if White Dragon gets knocked back, Fuji- Senpai can still score!
"It might work once, but next time they'll definitely be more cautious."
Momoshiro, watching Fuji score on Fuji second-chance opportunity off the court, still hadn't figured out the problem.
Horio noticed Shiraishi's momentary lapse in concentration and concluded that as long as Shiraishi immediately adopted a defensive stance after counterattacking White Dragon, Fuji's subsequent attack would be ineffective.
As he said, the second ball was hit by White Dragon, Shiraishi immediately moved after returning the ball.
Fuji tried to hit a smash like he did the previous shot, but he had already entered Shiraishi's defensive range.
"There's no other way. Let me show you my fourth counterattack, the Hundred-Armed Giant Goalkeeper."
Fuji swung his backhand again, and a flash of white light appeared on his racket.
"What?! The racket is flipped over!"
"Is that Fuji Syusuke's fourth counterattack?!"
"That looks like an amazing move!"
The people of Shitenhoji seemed to have witnessed something unbelievable: someone was actually using both sides of a racket to counterattack.
"Hundred-Armed Giant Goalkeeper? What the heck is that?"
As Fuji flipped his racket and hit the tennis ball, Shiraishi was filled with questions.
After staring at the incoming tennis ball for a long time without figuring out what was going on, I decided to stop hesitating and serve first.
"The ball you hit back won't clear the net."
After Shiraishi swung his racket to return the shot, Fuji spoke up.
Shiraishi was also puzzled by Fuji's words, and then the sound of a tennis ball hitting the net was heard.
"Seigaku Fuji scored, 30:0"
"It really is just as he said..."
Shiraishi was somewhat incredulous; that ball was clearly aimed at Fuji's blind spot.
He shouldn't have even touched the internet, and with his near-perfect fundamentals, this situation couldn't possibly have occurred.
