Chapter 111

Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma raised a question.

He asked.

"Captain Tezuka's Tezuka Zone should be able to counter Kamishiro Aki, right?"

Regarding this question, Inui Sadaharu nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, up until now, no one has been able to break the Tezuka Zone."

"I retract my previous statement; it is still too early for Kamishiro Aki to want to beat Tezuka."

Regarding this, Echizen Ryoma had a different thought.

He pulled down his hat and looked at Kamishiro Aki on the court, smiling.

"We'll only know after we play a match; I'm really looking forward to it!"

Kamishiro Aki did not know what the Seigaku team was discussing.

He knew that Sanada Genichiro was about to serve again!

Sanada Genichiro tossed the tennis ball into the air.

The moment the ball fell, he swung his racket rapidly!

"Swift as the Wind, Lightning Flash!"

"Bang!" Two.

Everyone still could not see Sanada Genichiro's swing.

They only heard the sound of the racket striking the tennis ball.

Immediately after, the ball appeared on Kamishiro Aki's court.

Yet at this moment, Sanada Genichiro discovered that Kamishiro Aki had not arrived at the landing spot in advance.

Seeing this, he felt secretly pleased.

He believed that Kamishiro Aki would not be able to receive this serve.

It wasn't just him who thought so; others thought the same.

Such a fast serve could only be received by a monster.

But as it happens, Kamishiro Aki was exactly the monster they had in mind!

Others couldn't see Sanada Genichiro's swing, but Kamishiro Aki saw it clearly.

He had also predicted the landing spot of the ball.

But he did not activate the Shave technique to arrive early.

Because Kamishiro Aki wanted to test if the Thunder Step technique could keep up.

Just as he was thinking this, the ball landed.

"Bang!"

The moment the ball bounced, Sanada Genichiro's "four-six-zero" heart had already begun to celebrate.

But just at this moment, he saw Kamishiro Aki suddenly disappear from where he stood!

The next instant, Kamishiro Aki appeared at the spot where the ball bounced!

So fast!

Even faster than his previous speed!

No! Even faster than his own "Thunder"!

Kamishiro Aki swung his racket fiercely!

"Lightning Draw!"

"Bang!"

The ball crossed the net in an instant.

Sanada Genichiro couldn't see Kamishiro Aki's swing at all!

He knew that Kamishiro Aki's "Lightning Draw" was a skill similar to his "Swift as the Wind."

Therefore, he also had a way to deal with it.

That was to listen to the sound of the ball being hit and act in advance!

The moment he heard the sound, Sanada Genichiro activated "Thunder"!

"Moving like Thunder!"

The sound of the ball crossing the net and landing rang out!

"Bang!"

Sanada Genichiro followed the sound!

By the time the ball bounced, he had already reached its position.

He swung his racket rapidly!

"Swift as the Wind!"

The ball was hit back once more.

But at this moment, Kamishiro Aki suddenly appeared in front of the net!

Seeing this, Sanada Genichiro thought to himself, "Oh no!"

"Bad, he's going to use the Iron Block Smash!"

Just as he thought this, Kamishiro Aki had already begun his swing!

Seeing this, Sanada Genichiro activated "Thunder" again!

"Moving like Thunder!"

The next instant, he also arrived in front of the net!

Seeing Sanada Genichiro appear before him, Kamishiro Aki smiled slightly.

"Senior Sanada, your awareness is not bad!"

"But for a ball you can't receive, no matter how good your awareness is, it's useless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kamishiro Aki swung his racket fiercely!

"Bang!"

"Iron Block Smash!"

Just as Sanada Genichiro had expected!

It was indeed an Iron Block Smash!

Therefore, Sanada Genichiro was already prepared to receive the Iron Block Smash.

He held his racket with both hands and let out a loud shout!

"Silent as the Forest!"

He still intended to use "Silent as the Forest" to dissipate the excessive spin of the ball.

The next instant, the ball slammed into Sanada Genichiro's racket like a cannonball!

"Bang!"

The moment the ball hit the racket, the strings began to creak!

It felt like they would snap at any moment!

Seeing this, Sanada Genichiro was still struggling to find a way to neutralize the impact of the ball!

"Yaah!"

He let out a roar!

Attempting to pour all his strength into the racket!

And just at this moment, the strings snapped with a sound.

The ball shot straight into the ground!

"Bang!"

The ball slammed fiercely into the ground, but it did not bounce up.

It was as if a massive, heavy iron block had hit the ground, just like its name.

The moment the ball landed, Sanada Genichiro felt as if his heart had been struck by the ball.

He hadn't expected that even with all his preparations, he still had no way to receive Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Smash!

So it turns out that in this world, besides Yukimura Seiichi and Tezuka Kunimitsu, there is also Kamishiro Aki!

At this time, the referee called the score.

"40:40!"

Sanada Genichiro's brows furrowed even deeper.

But he did not give up.

He had already accepted the fact that he could not receive the Iron Block Smash.

If he wanted to win this match,

then he could not let Kamishiro Aki hit a smash.

He needed to keep the ball as low as possible.

Thinking of this, he took a tennis ball from the staff.

Sanada Genichiro's gaze was incredibly firm.

"Wait for me, Yukimura!"

"I will definitely bring the Kanto Tournament championship trophy to you."

"I will definitely make it before you enter the operating room!"

Having determined his goal, Sanada Genichiro tossed the ball into the air!

As the ball fell, he swung his racket decisively!

"Bang!"

"Swift as the Wind, Lightning Flash!"

The ball crossed the net in an instant!

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki moved.

"Thunder Step!"

The next instant, he arrived at the ball's landing spot!

Sanada Genichiro quickly prepared himself.

But just at this moment, Kamishiro Aki hit a ball that no one had expected.. ........

Kamishiro Aki held his racket horizontally, then aimed at the ball and hit a slice!

A slice!?

Everyone was very confused.

Kikumaru Eiji was very puzzled.

"Why is Kamishiro Aki hitting a slice for no reason?"

But at this moment, Fuji Syusuke saw the problem.

He opened his eyes and said.

"No! It's not a slice!"

"It's the Zero-Shiki Drop Shot!"

Seeing this, everyone was slightly taken aback!

It wasn't just Fuji Syusuke who saw it; Sanada Genichiro saw it too!

He had been working hard to catch up to Tezuka Kunimitsu.

He was all too familiar with the Zero-Shiki Drop Shot.

So how could he not see it!

But so what if he saw it?

He was still at the baseline.

Even if he used "Thunder," he might not be able to receive it!

This was simply an unexpected shot!

"Tezuka Kunimitsu, why are you everywhere!"

But there was no time for Sanada Genichiro to think too much.

He decided to take a gamble!

Thinking of this, Sanada Genichiro directly activated "Thunder"!

"Moving like Thunder!"

Immediately after, he appeared in front of the net.

And the ball was about to land!

Seeing this, he lunged forward to receive the ball!

There is only one way to deal with the Zero-Shiki Drop Shot.

That is to receive the ball before it lands.

Everyone understands this principle.

But precisely because of that, this shot often appears at the most unexpected moments.

Like now.

Sanada Genichiro lunged forward, stretching his racket as far forward as possible!

"Bang!"

The moment the ball hit the racket, Sanada Genichiro suddenly felt 0.2 very relieved.

But the result was not as he had imagined.

The ball did not cross the net.

The ball hit the racket and then bounced back onto the net.

"Swish!"

The sound of the ball touching the net rang out.

The referee made the final announcement for the second game!

"2:0!"

"The second game of Singles 3 is taken by Hyotei!"

Everyone was shocked!

He had already reached the Zero-Shiki Drop Shot!

Why couldn't he hit it over!?

Sanada Genichiro didn't understand, and many others didn't understand either.

Seigaku's Kikumaru Eiji was the most eager to learn; if he didn't understand, he asked.

"I don't think my eyes were playing tricks on me; I clearly saw Sanada receive the ball!"

"Why couldn't he hit it over?"

Once this question was asked, Inui Sadaharu couldn't help but come out to answer.

He pushed up his glasses and analyzed.

"Actually, the answer is very simple!".
