Chapter 14: Kamishiro Aki

At this moment, the umpire called out.

"Next is the Singles 3 match!"

"Will both players please enter the court!"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki flicked his racket and walked onto the court.

At the same time, Kamishiro Aki learned who Fudomine’s Singles 3 player was.

It was that guy who loved to mutter to himself, Ibu Shinji.

Kamishiro Aki felt a bit of regret; as expected, he wouldn't be facing Tachibana Kippei.

But thinking about it, it made sense; the captain usually played in the final match.

It was a bit too early to want to play against Tachibana Kippei.

In that case, he would just use Ibu Shinji to practice his real-match skills.

Kamishiro Aki remembered that Ibu Shinji specialized in side-spin serves that caused temporary paralysis.

He was also a genius-level player.

But his weakness was also very obvious: he was overly confident.

Because of this, his tennis career didn't go very far.

However, now was not the time for sentiment.

Kamishiro Aki’s current task was to win this match.

As long as he could win this match, he would earn one point.

After they entered the court, the umpire called out.

"Fudomine third-year, Ibu Shinji."

Afterwards, both sides went to the center of the court for the pre-match handshake.

Kamishiro Aki took the initiative to reach out his hand, but Ibu Shinji looked at it with disdain and laughed.

"Oh my, is Hyotei out of people? To actually let a first-year play against me."

"Or is it that Hyotei looks down on me that much?"

"What a pity, a genius like me actually getting treated so coldly."

"A brat like this shouldn't even be on the competition court."

……

The muttering started again.

Since there was no handshake, Kamishiro Aki didn't bother to make a fool of himself.

He turned and walked toward the baseline.

At this, Ibu Shinji suddenly got angry.

"Hey, brat, you're actually ignoring me!"

Kamishiro Aki not speaking didn't mean he was easy to bully.

He just turned his head and said one sentence.

"To beat you, a first-year is enough."

Once these words were out, Ibu Shinji felt his heart had been attacked.

Wasn't this just saying that he, a third-year, was inferior to a first-year?

Just as he wanted to retort, Kamishiro Aki spoke directly to the umpire.

"Umpire, please announce the start of the match; let's not waste time."

This sentence directly blocked Ibu Shinji’s mouth.

With many words stuck in his throat, his face turned red.

After a long while, he finally said.

"Fine, I'll let you know what a genius is!"

After speaking, he also returned to the baseline.

At this time, Atobe Keigo raised his hand to signal.

Immediately after, the Hyotei cheer squad began to shout.

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Kamishiro! Kamishiro!" ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

"Victory! Victory!"

Hearing this slogan, Kamishiro Aki hadn't expected it.

That guy Atobe Keigo had actually helped him create a specialized slogan.

Just how highly did he think of him?

At the same time, Seigaku had also finished their match.

As the pioneer of data tennis, Inui Sadaharu arrived at this court immediately.

At the same time, the reporters Inoue and Shiba Saori, who had just arrived, were also here.

As soon as Inui Sadaharu arrived, Inoue spotted him.

Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu smiled.

"Don't mind me, I'm just here to take some notes."

Inoue nodded and said.

"Inui-kun, you've come at just the right time."

"The current match situation is one win and one loss for Hyotei and Fudomine."

"Hyotei is still a bit too complacent today."

"But it's very rare that they actually sent out all their regular members."

"The most interesting one is the first-year who just went on court, Kamishiro Aki."

"He's a face I've never seen before."

Although Inoue said a lot, Inui Sadaharu only remembered some important information.

He was also interested in this new player, Kamishiro Aki.

He looked at Kamishiro Aki and muttered in a low voice.

"A first-year, and he's already 1.7 meters tall? It seems Hyotei is still hiding a trump card."

At this moment, the umpire blew the whistle, and the match officially began!

He said.

"Singles 3 match, Fudomine Academy second-year Ibu Shinji versus."

"Hyotei Academy first-year Kamishiro Aki!"

"Hyotei Academy player Kamishiro Aki to serve first!"

"Match start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a staff member threw a ball in Kamishiro Aki’s direction.

Kamishiro Aki caught it easily.

He hadn't expected to serve first.

But that was even better; he could test out his newly developed serve.

He crouched slightly, then tossed the tennis ball into the air.

As the ball fell, Kamishiro Aki slammed his racket into it!

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew toward Ibu Shinji’s service box at an astonishing speed.

"Bang!"

The ball landed quickly and slammed into the protective net behind Ibu Shinji.

This process was ridiculously fast!

Everyone in the arena was stunned!

Ibu Shinji stood frozen in place.

It took a while for him to react.

"So fast!"

The umpire was also stunned for a moment before calling the score.

"15:0!"

Hearing the score, the Hyotei cheer squad shouted again!

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Kamishiro! Kamishiro!"

"Victory! Victory!"

The atmosphere was instantly ignited!

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo smiled.

"Kamishiro Aki, you really do have a trump card, but this shouldn't be your true strength, right?"

At this time, Oshitari Yuushi appeared beside him, not sure when.

He pushed up his glasses and said.

"Kamishiro’s serve speed just now already exceeded Ootori’s heavy serve, 'One-Shot Soul'!"

And Ootori Choutarou was sitting right next to them.

How could he not know?

Kamishiro Aki’s serve just now was simply ridiculously fast!

And this was on a singles court!

The effective area was even narrower; even he couldn't guarantee 100% that such a high-speed ball would land within the baseline.

Seeing this, he also began to admire Kamishiro Aki a little.

And Akutagawa Jirou shouted excitedly.

"As expected of Kamishiro! Too amazing!"

Inui Sadaharu, who was taking notes, was also stunned.

"What kind of background does this first-year have! To be able to hit such a high-speed ball!"

He felt it was very bad.

If Hyotei won this match, the team they would have to face next was Hyotei.

The more he thought about it, the worse it felt, so he quickly took out his phone and called Tezuka Kunimitsu.

"Tezuka, I think it's necessary for you to come over."

On the court, Kamishiro Aki looked at the somewhat dazed Ibu Shinji and smiled.

"What did you say just now?"

"Hyotei is out of people?"

"Then why can't you even return a serve from a first-year like me?"

The three consecutive questions left Ibu Shinji speechless.

It wasn't that he didn't want to retort, but retorting would just be mocking himself.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki said again.

"By the way, let me tell you, that ball just now was called the Finger-Gun Serve."

This wasn't just for Ibu Shinji; it was for everyone else as well.

His voice wasn't loud, but almost the entire arena heard it.

Atobe Keigo smiled and said.

"Interesting, does Finger-Gun Serve mean it's as fast as a bullet?"

Oshitari Yuushi couldn't help but nod.

"It seems there are still many exciting things about Kamishiro Aki waiting for us to discover; I'm starting to look forward to his performance." ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
