Chapter 113

Kamishiro Aki knew about Sanada Genichiro's "Shadow."

To be precise, it was "Difficult to Know as Shadow."

Like "Thunder," it was an ultimate move that had been sealed away.

It was meant to be used to deal with Tezuka Kunimitsu.

As a result, Kamishiro Aki appeared halfway through.

The most fatal thing was that his five ultimate moves of Wind, Forest, Fire, Shadow, Mountain, and Thunder could not pose a threat to Kamishiro Aki.

Only the last one, "Difficult to Know as Shadow," remained unused.

The reason Sanada Genichiro intended to bring out "Shadow" was that Kamishiro Aki had activated the Sharingan mode.

Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode was information revealed by Yanagi Renji.

It was said to be the fourth great gate hidden in the State of Self-Actualization, the Limit of Insight!

As long as this was activated, one could enter the State of Self-Actualization at any time and predict the ball's trajectory.

At first, Sanada Genichiro didn't believe it.

How could there be a fourth great gate?

But when Kamishiro Aki predicted the landing spot of his "Swift as the Wind, Lightning Flash" serve in advance, he believed it!

Precisely because of this, Sanada Genichiro intended to bring out "Shadow."

Originally, "Difficult to Know as Shadow" was meant to seal Tezuka Kunimitsu's Limit of Brilliance.

According to Yanagi Renji's information, Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode had similarities to the Limit of Brilliance.

Both were ultimate moves that could predict the ball's trajectory in advance!

Therefore, Sanada Genichiro believed that "Difficult to Know as Shadow" could also seal Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode.

As long as he could seal Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode,

then he would have a chance to win this match!

Combined with "Thunder," Sanada Genichiro felt he had a 70% chance of winning this match!

Thoughts are just thoughts; one still has to practice to know.

Subsequently, the break time ended.

The referee shouted.

"The match continues!"

"Rikkai Dai's player Sanada to serve!"

At this time, Sanada Genichiro received the tennis ball tossed by the staff.

Immediately, he fixed his gaze forward.

Following that, he directly activated "Shadow"!

"Difficult to Know as Shadow!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Kamishiro Aki saw the black aura emerging from Sanada Genichiro's body.

Good guy!

Sure enough, the aura could be materialized!

It wasn't just him who saw it; others saw it too.

But they weren't as shocked as Kamishiro Aki.

Because as locals, they knew that aura could be materialized.

For example, when Tezuka Kunimitsu used the Limit of Brilliance, there would also be a white aura surging behind him.

And when using the "Hundred Refinements" ultimate move, one could also materialize the aura on their hands.

And the degree of materialization of the aura was determined by one's own aura.

Previously, when Tezuka Kunimitsu and Atobe Keigo were playing, Kamishiro Aki had seen the faint aura on their bodies.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Aki suddenly remembered one thing.

If he won the Kanto Tournament championship, he could use the Sharingan to activate the Susanoo!

That meant he could materialize the Susanoo aura!

Just thinking about it was exciting!

However, the prerequisite was to win the Kanto Tournament championship!

So he must win this match!

Just as Kamishiro Aki was daydreaming, Sanada Genichiro opposite him suddenly shouted at him loudly.

"Kamishiro Aki, are you daydreaming!?"

"Or are you feeling helpless because you can't see through my ball trajectory?"

"Fall into the abyss of failure once again!"

After a bit of chuunibyou speech, Sanada Genichiro tossed the ball into the air.

When the ball fell, he swung his racket rapidly!

"Bang!"

"Swift as the Wind, Lightning Flash!"

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki directly observed the ball's landing spot.

Based on the position where Sanada Genichiro hit it, he could directly judge the expected landing spot of the ball.

Prediction complete!

He already knew where the ball would land.

Kamishiro Aki directly activated the Thunder Step to appear at the spot where the ball was about to land.

But at this moment, the ball had already crossed the net.

Yet the ball did not land at the spot Kamishiro Aki had predicted!

The ball landed in the service area on Kamishiro Aki's far left!

It was exactly the opposite of the landing spot Kamishiro Aki had predicted!

"How is this possible!?"

"The Sharingan actually couldn't predict his ball trajectory!"

"Could it be that 'Difficult to Know as Shadow' really can seal the Sharingan!?"

Kamishiro Aki couldn't help but think so.

Immediately after, the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

The speed of "Swift as the Wind, Lightning Flash" was like a falling thunderbolt, the speed of lightning.

In the case of Kamishiro Aki's incorrect prediction, it really couldn't be saved.

So this point was taken by Sanada Genichiro!

When the ball landed on the ground,

Rikkai Dai erupted with deafening cheers!

"He scored!"

"He scored!"

"Emperor! Emperor!"

"Ever-victorious! Rikkai Dai!"

"Let's go! Let's go! Rikkai Dai!"

Seeing this, the referee quickly called the score.

"15:0!"

At this time, Sanada Genichiro said seriously to Kamishiro Aki.

"This point, I've taken it!"

"Your boasting is over!"

Everyone was surprised!

Atobe Keigo hadn't expected that Sanada Genichiro's "Shadow" could actually counter Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode!

It wasn't just him; even Kamishiro Aki hadn't expected it.

That such an outrageous thing could happen!

Others didn't know what had happened.

They all looked toward Inui Sadaharu in unison.

Feeling their gazes, Inui Sadaharu's lips couldn't help but curl slightly.

At this time, Kaidoh Kaoru raised a question.

"How did Sanada do it?"

"He actually deceived Kamishiro Aki's prediction."

Just as he asked the question, Momoshiro Takeshi couldn't help but retort.

"Stinky viper, you don't even know this?"

Kaidoh Kaoru was immediately unhappy.

"Huh? Want to fight?"

Momoshiro Takeshi immediately became excited!

"Let's fight! Who's afraid of whom!"

Subsequently, the two started arguing.

They had already started pulling each other's faces.

Oishi Shuichiro quickly came over to stop them.

"¨」 Alright, stop it!"

Before he could successfully stop the fight, Inui Sadaharu suddenly spoke up.

"Actually, it's very simple."

As soon as he spoke, Kaidoh Kaoru and Momoshiro Takeshi stopped their actions.

It was even more effective than Oishi Shuichiro's direct intervention.

Then Inui Sadaharu continued.

"I said last time that Sanada's Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain is Wind, Forest, Fire, Shadow, Mountain, and Thunder."

"He added 'Shadow' and 'Thunder' on top of the original foundation, with the purpose of countering Tezuka."

"The 'Shadow' among them is used to counter Tezuka's Limit of Brilliance."

"And Kamishiro Aki's Limit of Insight, which is the Sharingan mode,"

"has the same ability as the Limit of Brilliance."

"Precisely because of this, Sanada was able to use 'Shadow' to seal Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode!"

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded.

And at this time, Echizen Ryoma suddenly said.

"Senior Inui, you still haven't explained clearly why Sanada could deceive Kamishiro Aki's prediction."

Once these words were spoken, everyone turned their gaze to Inui Sadaharu again.

Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses and looked at Sanada Genichiro, saying.

"I was just about to say."

"The reason Sanada was able to seal Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode is that his 'Shadow' deceives the opponent's eyes through various behavioral patterns."

"This is a psychological suggestion, a very sophisticated technique."

"For example, when hitting a cross-court shot, we are accustomed to aiming the racket in the direction of the cross-court in advance to hit the ball."

"And Sanada, having activated 'Shadow,' does the opposite; he places the action direction of hitting a drop shot in the direction of hitting a cross-court shot."

"Then, combined with his self-invented 'Swift as the Wind,' he forcibly changes the ball's path the moment the racket hits the ball!"

"This is the principle behind Sanada's ability to seal Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode."

After listening to Inui Sadaharu's analysis, everyone understood!

And Kamishiro Aki understood too.

Even Sanada Genichiro couldn't help but nod.

He said to Inui Sadaharu.

"That's right, your analysis is very on point."

"To think someone could see through my 'Difficult to Know as Shadow' at the first instance."

"But even if you know, it's useless.".
