Two Spots

"Oh right... that's Sanada's invisible swing."

"In other words, Sanada deliberately made Atobe play the Waltz of the Butterfly."

"The Waltz of the Butterfly is originally about knocking the opponent's racket away with the first ball, and then scoring with a follow-up smash on the second ball."

However, Sanada, with his incredible ball speed, instantly seized the opportunity to return the ball and delivered a beautiful counter-attack.

"Since we knew from the beginning that he was aiming for the smash, it's easier to deal with than a regular smash, but you need to have the same level of skill as Sanada."

"The Waltz of the Butterfly... has been broken by Sanada."

On the court, Atobe was somewhat dazed because Sanada had easily countered his signature move.

"That's enough, Atobe. Take this!"

After saying that, Sanada used the wind again, unleashing an invisible swing and serving to score.

"Sanada scores, 40:30"

Wakato scores, the score is 1-0.

"Not bad, Wakato."

Inside the Hanamura's stadium, the match between Wakato and Kabaji was also underway.

Coach Hanamura was very satisfied to see his student score the first point.

Coach Hanamura, focused solely on the game, was completely unaware that several figures were quietly slipping away behind him.

After Wakato scored a point, Kabaji stared at Wakato on the other side and then began to imitate him.

"Oh? What's that guy doing?"

Wakato saw Kabaji's strange yet somewhat familiar movements, they asked questions that came from the depths of their souls.

Kabaji had one hand on his hip and the other on his face.

Then he raised his hand to the sky and shouted, "Transform!"

Kabaji was originally quite naive, changed his demeanor and immediately served.

He immediately moved to the net and scored directly with a volley.

"Oh... I never knew you were such a genius at imitation."

"Yes."

Wakato saw that Kabaji was a player who was good at imitation just like themselves, they would immediately feel a sense of kinship, but Kabaji would still give his signature goofy reply.

"In that case, it's about time we went to watch the match between Atobe and Sanada."

"Good."

"What are you talking about? The game isn't over yet."

Coach Hanamura was somewhat troubled when he heard that the two players on the field had made a decision on their own before the game was even over.

"But Coach, everyone's already run out, there's no competition left."

Upon hearing Wakato's complaint, Coach Hanamura immediately turned around to look behind him.

Seeing that there was really no one left, his expression immediately turned helpless.

Bang...

"Sanada scores, score 3-3"

"What? I thought Atobe would have the upper hand, but it turns out he didn't gain anything."

When Oshitari and the others arrived at the Atobe and Sanada stadium, they saw that the score was 3-3.

"Really, you guys actually sneaked here."

They had barely arrived outside the stadium, and before they could even get comfortable, Coach Hanamura appeared with Kabaji and Wakato.

"Coach, I'm sorry. I know this will make Coach angry, but to be honest, it's rare for Atobe and Sanada to have a match. If we miss it, we might not see them again."

Coach Hanamura understood what everyone meant, so since they were already there, they decided to watch it together.

I will definitely find... your blind spot.

Atobe placed his index and middle fingers between his eyebrows, staring intently as he tried to find Sanada's weakness.

He kept observing Sanada's hitting posture, analyzing it in his mind.

"Damn it, he doesn't have any... He has no weaknesses at all."

"Once the Waltz of the Butterfly is deciphered, Atobe will have no chance of winning."

"Sanada will continue to widen his lead until victory."

Those watching from the sidelines could also see Atobe's current predicament: his signature skills had been countered, and he couldn't find any weaknesses in his opponent.

"Sanada Genichiro is truly a remarkable guy. No wonder he's Rikkai Dai's second-in-command, and no wonder he's considered the top player in junior high tennis. However..."

Who do you think I am? I Atobe Keigo.

After saying that, Atobe tossed the tennis ball up and then made a movement that was more exaggerated than a standard serve.

"Atobe's score: 15:0"

"Hey, what was that serve just now...?"

"When did Atobe invent that kind of technique?"

The crowd outside the court was stunned by Atobe's serve, and even Coach Hanamura was so surprised that his mouth dropped open.

"To be able to unleash your trump card at such a critical moment is truly remarkable, Atobe Keigo."

"The Vaishra Serve, huh? I'd really like to give it a try."

Horio, who was perched on the rooftop, watched Horio's Atobe closely, and even he thought the serving posture was a bit exaggerated.

"Alright, stop. Sanada, Atobe, you've passed."

Coach Sakaki stopped the two players in time after seeing Atobe hit the Vaishra Serve.

Coach Sakaki's words startled Atobe and Sanada on the field.

"You two have been selected as youth representatives."

Coach Sakaki spoke again, announcing that the two had been selected.

These words surprised everyone present, both inside and outside the venue.

"You have no objection to my decision, right, Coach Hanamura?"

"It doesn't matter, I don't think anyone would object to choosing either of them, right Tezuka?"

"Yes."

The three Coach decided the two spots on the youth team with just a few words, and Atobe and Sanada recovered from their brief surprise.

Thank you, Coach.

"It seems our duel will have to be put on hold."

"This is the only way. There's one more person we need to defeat before we can take down Tezuka."

"The more opponents the better, of course, but don't forget, there can only be one winner."

After thanking Coach Sakaki, the two players on the field resumed their verbal exchange.

"Everyone knows that there are still five spots left in the selection competition, so everyone must do their best in the competition."

After two spots were already secured, only five places remained across the three groups.

Seeing that no one in the Ryuzaki team had been confirmed yet, Tezuka spoke up to remind them.

"In the next match, I will test your strength in a doubles format. The match roster is Oishi and Meido against Kikumaru and Ootori."

Tezuka's words puzzled everyone, especially the four people mentioned.

"Coach Tezuka, I want to know your intentions. Why did you separate me from Meido?"

At this moment, Feng stepped forward and asked Tezuka.

"It has been stated that I will be in charge of matters related to the competition."

"But..."

When Feng heard Tezuka's words, she was about to ask more questions when she suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her.

Feng turned her head and saw that it was Meido's gaze.

"Mukahi Senpai... do you really want to play basketball seriously with me?"

Feng couldn't believe that Meido would actually show that kind of look in his eyes, that look full of fighting spirit.

Meanwhile, a special person appeared at the Seigaku Tennis Club.
