Chapter 131: The Brown Bear Trap Failed! (Please vote with flowers and ratings!)
Fuji Syusuke had never encountered such an outrageous smash before.
It bounced up only a little.
It completely defied common sense!
However, not many of the tennis balls he himself hit conformed to common sense either.
Therefore, he could only commit it to memory.
And place it within the realm of things he did not yet understand.
The umpire was equally surprised.
But the ball was indeed valid, so he quickly called out the score.
"30:15!"
Fuji Syusuke was still quite concerned that Kamishiro Aki had managed to instantly counter the Swallow Return technique.
Everyone who had seen him use Swallow Return were veterans from the previous year.
But Kamishiro Aki was a first-year!
It was impossible for him to have seen Fuji use Swallow Return.
Then there were only two possibilities.
One was that he had specifically investigated Fuji.
The other was that Kamishiro Aki possessed extraordinary observation and reaction abilities.
Fuji Syusuke hoped even more that it was the second.
In that case, he would have another opponent capable of pushing him to improve his tennis skills.
Fuji Syusuke was not obsessed with the result of victory or defeat.
He simply enjoyed the thrilling pleasure of pushing an opponent to the edge between surpassing and being surpassed.
But in this match, he wanted to win!
The match that Kuwagata Kunimitsu had fought so desperately to win earlier.
That reason alone was enough to make him give his all in the match.
And at this moment, Inui Sadaharu was still analyzing the principle behind the Iron Block Smash.
But no matter how he thought about it, it seemed unreasonable.
When Kikumaru Eiji asked him, he did not dare to give a definite answer.
He could only speak in generalities.
"I'm not entirely clear on the principle myself."
"This is the first time I've seen such a smash."
"It actually landed on the ground as heavily as a block of iron."
No matter how he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out.
That was only natural.
Kamishiro Aki was certain that no one could replicate that shot of his.
Even Kabaji Munehiro would have no way to perfectly replicate that shot.
Because the Iron Block Smash was a smash that defied common sense.
This was because he had infused the Iron Block technique from the Six Styles of the Marines into the tennis ball.
Therefore, the tennis ball had become like a block of iron.
If Fuji Syusuke were to force himself to return it, he would feel it.
But Fuji Syusuke had not reacted at all just now.
At this point, it was once again Fuji Syusuke's turn to serve.
Kamishiro Aki quickly prepared himself.
He could not underestimate Fuji Syusuke.
In the anime, Fuji Syusuke was not using his full power.
Moreover, he believed that Fuji Syusuke had a way to counter his Paper Drawing Drive.
He had to be prepared for that.
Fuji Syusuke served!
This time, he used a low serve!
Although Kamishiro Aki had countered the low serve.
It could increase Fuji Syusuke's reaction time in this manner.
"Bang!"
The tennis ball was driven low and spinning once again.
The tennis ball crossed the net quickly.
Immediately after, it landed and bounced up.
And at this moment, Kamishiro Aki was not waiting outside the baseline!
He was seen charging directly toward where the tennis ball landed.
