Chapter 16: Ibu Shinji

"Change sides!"

When passing Ibu Shinji while changing sides.

Kamishiro Aki said sarcastically.

"Ibu-kun, you'd better work hard, otherwise losing to a first-year will look very ugly."

After speaking, regardless of Ibu Shinji’s reaction, Kamishiro Aki walked straight past.

He originally thought Ibu Shinji would shout and then mutter to himself.

But this time, he unusually didn't.

Kamishiro Aki didn't know if it was because his Finger-Gun Serve had dealt him a heavy blow.

After all, those were consecutive service aces.

Ibu Shinji hadn't touched the ball for the entire game.

But Kamishiro Aki didn't intend to show mercy.

On the competition court, there was no such thing as a soft heart.

The strong staying strong was the only rule.

After the break, the two returned to the court.

This time it was Ibu Shinji’s service game.

But Ibu Shinji’s state didn't seem very good.

Tachibana Kippei had already noticed this.

He hurriedly stood up and shouted at Ibu Shinji.

"Shinji, play relaxed, don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

"As long as you give it your all, you can get infinitely close to the result you want!"

Ibu Shinji, who was still a bit dazed, looked silently at Tachibana Kippei after hearing this.

It was as if he had figured it out.

Seeing this, he nodded at Tachibana Kippei.

"Alright, Captain, you really are long-winded."

"Of course I'm not under pressure!"

"Dealing with this kind of first-year, I don't need to have any pressure at all."

"But his ball is indeed very fast."

"I will play seriously."

……

He started muttering again, but it seemed he had returned to normal.

Tachibana Kippei sat down with relief.

Although he said he was relieved, he was actually still very worried.

He hadn't expected Hyotei to let all their regular members play this time.

It wasn't that he was doubting his team members.

But he had just overthrown the old club, and this team had only been established for a short time.

Whether it was their coordination or tennis strength, it was only just passing.

Now they were directly facing Hyotei’s strongest lineup, and even he couldn't be sure.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Kippei really wanted to slap himself! ===== CHAPTER 40 =====

He shouldn't think about such discouraging things!

They, Fudomine, were going to head to the nationals!

Kamishiro Aki didn't know what Tachibana Kippei was thinking.

He only knew that Ibu Shinji was about to serve!

The returned-to-normal Ibu Shinji should bring out his proudest move.

That's right, that was the side-spin serve!

But before serving, Ibu Shinji started his muttering again.

"Kamishiro Aki, you first-year are different from what I thought."

"It's too early for you to represent Hyotei."

"Clearly having such a good environment at Hyotei, yet you only say such things."

"What is this, it's really enviable."

"To be able to grow so tall in the first year, your family must be very rich."

"Really enviable, it makes one a bit unable to watch."

……

Hearing his muttering, Kamio Akira, sitting in the waiting area, sighed.

"That guy Shinji is complaining again."

"It seems the Captain worried about him for nothing."

Actually, Kamishiro Aki couldn't stand this chatterbox either.

He really talked too much.

Just at this moment, Ibu Shinji suddenly ended his muttering and quickly served.

"Bang!"

"Side-spin serve!"

If it were an ordinary player, they really wouldn't be able to react.

Ibu Shinji was worthy of being called the cunning one.

But Kamishiro Aki was prepared at all times.

The so-called side-spin serve was similar to Echizen Ryoma’s twist serve.

Kamishiro Aki had long found a way to deal with it.

The moment the tennis ball crossed the net, Kamishiro Aki had already arrived in the service area early.

This ball speed was still too slow.

The tennis ball landed and bounced, and Kamishiro Aki directly performed a half-volley!

The tennis ball was returned quickly, and Ibu Shinji was stunned for a moment before hurriedly going to receive the ball.

This ball was in his diagonal area.

It required him to run for a long time.

But fortunately, he caught up.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball was instantly caught and returned.

And just at this moment, Ibu Shinji discovered that Kamishiro Aki had already arrived at the net!

And was standing on the path of the ball he was about to return!

But the tennis ball had already left his racket.

He couldn't save the ball at all.

Seeing this, he hurriedly ran to the net!

But it was already too late; the tennis ball had already crossed the net.

Kamishiro Aki jumped up directly and swung his racket violently to slam the tennis ball!

"Bang!"

Smash!

From Ibu Shinji’s distance, it was impossible to receive this ball.

Seeing this, the umpire immediately called the score.

"15:0!"

Everyone was stunned again!

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was watching the match, was also stunned for a moment.

In this situation, Inui Sadaharu’s desire for information couldn't help but blurt out.

"What a beautiful ball."

"It seems Kamishiro Aki knew early on that Ibu Shinji would use a side-spin serve!"

"So he was able to easily receive Ibu Shinji’s serve, thus making Ibu Shinji’s reaction half a beat slow."

"And he deliberately hit the ball to the furthest diagonal and confidently ran to the net."

"This person Kamishiro Aki is very capable, actually being able to predict Ibu Shinji’s return path."

"What surprises me most is that he can easily hit a half-volley; a half-volley after a serve is a very difficult operation."

"It seems this match has already been handled by that first-year."

His analysis made everyone suddenly realize.

But Fuji Syusuke had a different opinion.

"I don't think so."

"Ibu Shinji’s strength shouldn't be this weak."

Echizen Ryoma just looked at Kamishiro Aki; he was now looking forward to a duel with Kamishiro Aki.

At the same time, he believed that Kamishiro Aki had the confidence to win this match.

On the court.

Seeing Kamishiro Aki score another point.

Ibu Shinji started muttering again.

"It's really good, studying in such a good environment at Hyotei."

"That's why you can hit such good balls."

"But it's a pity, I still really want to defeat you!"

After speaking, he served again!

"Side-spin serve!"

That's right, it was a side-spin serve again!

But Kamishiro Aki discovered that this time it was a bit different!

He had carefully observed the rotation direction of the tennis ball.

The side-spin serve in the previous game was a topspin ball.

But this time it suddenly became a backspin ball!

Good guy!

Are you already planning to lay the groundwork for arm paralysis?

But what Ibu Shinji didn't know was.

This move of arm paralysis was useless against Kamishiro Aki.

Kamishiro Aki’s physique had already been enhanced by the Six Powers.

Even repeated use of the arm’s up and down force wouldn't cause paralysis.

The Six Powers were superhuman skills that broke through human limits; how could it be paralyzed so easily!

Seeing that Kamishiro Aki had successfully received his serve.

Ibu Shinji began to chuckle secretly.

"Kamishiro Aki, just wait, soon your arm won't be able to move."

He hurriedly went to receive the returned ball.

And this time it was a topspin ball!

As expected! ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
