~9 min read 1,615 words

Boom!

"Game, Hyotei Academy, Akutagawa Jirou, Kabaji Munehiro, 2-2."

Boom!

"Game, Fudomine Middle School, Kamio Akira, Shitian Tie, 3-2."

Whoosh!

A black stream of light appeared on the baseline; Kamio Akira could steadily receive the tennis balls hit to all parts of the court every time.

"Sonic Bullet!"

Boom!

The sound of hitting the ball passed in a flash, replaced by a ball shadow that was fast to the point of blur shooting back from the baseline.

"So fast, so fast that I can't see it at all!"

Mukahi Gakuto opened his eyes wide, but still couldn't see the shadow of the tennis ball.

"This guy named Kamio, his sprints and sonic bullets have extraordinary speed; if it were me on the court, I might have been taken down by him..."

Hearing this convinced tone, Oshitari Yuushi couldn't help but turn to look at his teammate.

Coach Sakaki's expression stiffened slightly; he turned his head, looking at Kila Taizo, who was still calm, and asked.

"Game, Ice Emperor Academy, Akutagawa Jirou, Kabaji Munehiro, 3-3."

Swish!

"Left half-court outer angle small diagonal line."

Fast!

"Keep watching, the result might not be what you wish."

Tap, tap.

Swish!

A wine-red tennis racket attacked rapidly.

Seeing Jirou and Kabaji gradually leading the match, Coach Sakaki showed an expected expression.

Although he was ten-tenths sure about the result of this match, facing Kila Taizo, Coach Sakaki still didn't dare to be careless.

"They are the best weapons for Ice Emperor to seal Fudomine's power-speed combination, Ice Emperor's own power-speed combination."

Pat!

"Being able to make Kamio Akira's running distance before hitting the ball lose its meaning, from a certain angle, it can even be said that Jirou's speed surpassed Kamio Akira."

Every professional player in every sport is a peak existence in their field, and the one in front of him is one of the peaks among professional players; no matter how much importance he attaches to it, it is not too much.

At this time, Kila Taizo, who was also in the coach's seat, suddenly asked.

It was unexpected that Mukahi Gakuto, who was always arrogant, could also have times when he admired others.

Therefore, no matter how fast the sonic bullet is, as long as Akutagawa Jirou can see the trajectory of the tennis ball, he can return the ball.

"But Jirou and Kabaji are different.

Similarly, Jirou possesses both super-strong reflex nerves and incomparably flexible wrists; the tennis balls he hits all land in places Kamio Akira completely fails to predict."

"Hehe... guessed wrong."

"Kamio Akira and Shitian Tie's doubles possess very extreme characteristics; in terms of speed and power, there is no second combination in the Kanto region that can compete with them.

His gaze swept across the front of the net rapidly.

The unfortunate thing for Fudomine is...

Akutagawa Jirou happens to be Ice Emperor's number one volley master; regarding dynamic vision, he has the confidence not to lose to anyone.

Kabaji not only possesses a sturdy physique but can also copy the ball skills he sees; he will definitely be able to block Shitian Tie's vibration ball offense."

"That's right, just play steadily like this."

Coach Sakaki said with absolute confidence in his heart.

Looking at the court with a solemn gaze, Coach Sakaki's originally calm heart was stirred by Kila Taizo's few words.

"I don't know what advice Coach Kila has."

Net volleying only needs to guard that small area in front of the net, and the hitting action is also simple and direct.

The moment the racket received the tennis ball, his body suddenly stumbled; he seemed to have made a mistake very unfortunately, and the original hitting trajectory changed in an instant.

"Where is the problem?"

Ice Emperor coach's seat.

Kila Taizo smiled slightly without saying more.

Seeing Kamio Akira's movements, Akutagawa Jirou showed a cunning smile.

Whether it's Mukahi Gakuto or Shishido Ryo, they have no possibility of winning."

A flash of brilliance condensed in Akutagawa Jirou's eyes, and the direction he pointed at had a twisted and galloping tennis ball flying over.

Both arms vibrated, and he dashed toward the left front court at the fastest speed.

Having made psychological preparations, Kamio Akira didn't lose his head because his special move was broken; he swept the angle of Akutagawa Jirou's movements with his peripheral vision, calmly judging the route the other party would take next.

"It seems that Coach Sakaki seems to have a lot of confidence."

Boom!

A yellow light flashed on Fudomine's right half-court, bouncing high and flying out.

However, no matter how amazing Kamio Akira is, Jirou should have gotten used to his speed; it's time to make a response.

Boom!

Kamio Akira swung his arm and hit the tennis ball back sharply.

Tap, tap.

Akutagawa Jirou's body crouched and moved forward to fill the position, firmly occupying the position in front of the net.

Swish, swish, swish...

Only to see him constantly rotating his racket, his eyes scanning various positions on the opposite side, making it completely impossible to see where he would hit the next ball.

Is the previous situation going to be repeated next?

However, the next second.

"Anyway, I don't know where it will hit, so I won't guess!"

Beyond everyone's expectations, Kamio Akira suddenly closed his eyes, standing still in place in front of everyone.

"This guy, no way."

With a look of astonishment, Mukahi Gakuto looked at Kamio Akira, who had closed his eyes, a bold thought sprouting in his heart, then shook his head heavily.

"This kind of thing is impossible to do, right?!"

"Ah...?"

Akutagawa Jirou in front of the net was suddenly stunned; Kamio Akira's move also surprised him.

But since his eyes were closed, it was enough to just hit it to a place Shitian Tie couldn't reach.

The racket turned, and he smashed decisively at the incoming tennis ball.

But looking at the impending attack, Shitian Tie didn't have the slightest intention of saving the ball, still firmly guarding his position.

Boom!

A crisp hitting sound rang out, and the tennis ball flew rapidly toward the gap between the two Fudomine players.

Swish!

The moment the hitting sound rang out, Kamio Akira opened his eyes suddenly, locking onto the direction the tennis ball was flying from with just one look.

"Right court front area small outer angle."

Whoosh—

A figure as fast as a cheetah dashed on the court, simply like a black lightning bolt.

"Really?"

Looking at Kamio Akira's body that was almost pulled into an afterimage, the crowd outside the court all had their mouths open into an 'O' shape; the visual sense brought by such speed was truly astonishing.

Pat.

When Kamio Akira arrived at the landing spot, the tennis ball had just bounced and hadn't left the court yet.

"Underestimating me, this speed ace, is the biggest mistake you made; you can't escape this time!"

His left foot stepped heavily forward, his racket raised high, and he smashed at the tennis ball in the air.

Boom!

The tennis ball instantly twisted in mid-air, flying back inverted.

"Victory belongs to Ice Emperor!"

When the tennis ball passed through Akutagawa Jirou's net defense, Kabaji Munehiro formed a second line of defense in the backcourt area.

Boom!

An explosion, the tennis ball was hit out by Kabaji Munehiro again, wow... the tennis ball emitted intense vibration, and when it flew over the net, it scraped up a surge of wind.

Vibration Ball!

"Been waiting for you for a long time."

Shitian Tie crouched half-way, his footsteps moving forward, his arm muscles bulging instantly.

Boom!

The vibration on the tennis ball was instantly disintegrated, and the yellow beam of light flew back inverted; only this time, the outside of the beam seemed to be burning with blood-red flames, dyeing the court air fiery red.

"No matter how amazing the move used is, it's useless in front of Kabaji; doing so will only bring trouble upon oneself."

Although he was shocked by the power of this ball, Shishido Ryo still didn't think highly of Shitian Tie's offensive.

"Ugh-ha—"

Kabaji instantly reproduced Shitian Tie's movements.

Swish.

His right foot stepped heavily on the ground, and his racket swung out whistling.

However.

Boom! Pat!

Two sounds rang out one after another; one was the explosion of hitting the ball, and one was the sound of the racket falling to the ground.

"Fudomine scores, 30-40."

Looking at Kabaji Munehiro, who was stunned in place empty-handed, Shitian Tie walked back to the baseline indifferently, his broad shoulders and wide back, the knotted muscles under his black team uniform containing power that ordinary people couldn't imagine.

This vibration ball was a vibration ball that fully exerted the power of his own physique.

"Even if you can copy my ball skills, how are you going to copy this body of mine that has been tempered through a thousand hammers?"

"Hehe."

Looking at Kabaji Munehiro, who was still trying to compete with Shitian Tie in vibration balls, and Akutagawa Jirou, who was constantly using special volleying techniques to restrict Kamio Akira, Yuuki Satoru's mouth hooked into a slight arc.

"This match... Ice Emperor lost."

In front of two people who were bent on winning with speed and power, he actually dared to try and defeat them using speed and power.

The final result would only be counterproductive.

Ten minutes later.

Kamio Akira completely tore open the Ice Emperor duo's formation, followed by Shitian Tie launching the final blow with a vibration ball.

Wow~

The tennis ball and racket flew together.

"Game, Fudomine Middle School, Kamio Akira, Shitian Tie, 6-3."

"Match over, Fudomine Middle School wins, total score 1:1." ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
