Chapter 161

Immediately, Tachibana Akira caught the tennis ball thrown to him by Shishido Ryo.

He saw Shishido Ryo say something to him.

"Do your best!"

Tachibana Akira nodded.

Right after, he focused his attention on Kamishiro Aki.

Then he smiled and said.

"Kamishiro, please give me your guidance."

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki was slightly stunned.

Afterwards, he replied with a sentence.

"Senior Tachibana, please give me your guidance."

To be honest, he had been at Hyotei for so long but rarely spoke with Tachibana Akira.

Because he was the passive type.

Only when others actively came to find him would he pay attention.

And Tachibana Akira had never come to find him.

They had only formed a temporary pair during practice sessions for receiving serves.

But even then, they only exchanged serves and did not talk much.

However, Akutagawa Jiro told him.

Tachibana Akira, influenced by himself, practiced tennis every day at 28.

He had already raised the success rate of his "One Ball, One Soul" heavy cannon serve to one hundred percent within the doubles court!

That is to say, as long as it was his service game.

He was confident that every ball could be successfully hit into the valid area with the "One Ball, One Soul" heavy cannon serve.

But it was only the valid service area for doubles.

As for the singles area, Tachibana Akira's serve success rate was seventy percent.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Akira could not help but feel a bit nervous.

But now was not the time to be nervous.

He saw him toss the tennis ball into the air!

Immediately, his full attention concentrated on the falling tennis ball.

When the tennis ball fell to the most suitable distance.

Tachibana Akira suddenly swung his racket!

"One Ball, One Soul!"

"Boom!"

The tennis ball crossed the net in an instant!

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki skillfully activated his Sharingan.

Immediately, he observed that the speed of Tachibana Akira's heavy cannon serve reached 196 kilometers per hour!

Not bad; just being influenced by him had increased Tachibana Akira's ball speed by 5 kilometers per hour.

Although it could not compare to Kamishiro Aki's Finger Gun serve.

The speed range of Kamishiro Aki's Finger Gun serve was between 220 kilometers per hour and 260 kilometers per hour!

Not to mention the Thunder Speed serve.

But for Tachibana Akira, it was already considered a very good result.

However, the landing point of this ball was not in the valid service area of the singles court.

In the next instant, the tennis ball fiercely slammed into the ground.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball indeed landed outside the lines of the singles area.

Seeing this, the referee shouted.

"Serve fault!"

Seeing that the tennis ball did not land in the valid service area, Tachibana Akira scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Forgive my clumsiness."

At this moment, Kamishiro Aki smiled.

"Senior Tachibana, try adding spin to the tennis ball when you toss it."

"Then accelerate the speed of the racket head."

"And one last point, try imagining your arm as a whip and swinging it out that way."

Hearing these three suggestions, Tachibana Akira was slightly stunned.

Was he giving himself advice!?

Could he discover the problem with his serve just by taking a single look?

Holding this question, Tachibana Akira decided to try it.

Even if he committed a double fault, it did not matter.

Because he did not feel he could win against Kamishiro Aki anyway.

He just wanted to play against Kamishiro Aki and then have the opportunity to observe Kamishiro Aki performing the Finger Gun serve or the Thunder Speed serve up close.

But now that Kamishiro Aki actively offered suggestions, he was deeply honored and surprised.

Seeing this, he immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

"Alright, I'll try it right now."

Kamishiro Aki found it rather strange that Ototarō Choutarou was being so polite.

Afterwards, Ototarō Choutarou reviewed the three key points Kamishiro Aki had mentioned.

He ran through them in his mind.

Should be no problem now.

Once ready, Ototarō Choutarou gripped the tennis ball between two fingers.

As he tossed it into the air, he applied some spin.

Then, as the ball fell, he quickly adjusted the racket head to align with the ball's position.

Finally, he imagined his arm as a whip and lashed it out!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball was struck by the racket in an instant.

At this moment, Kamishiro Aki once again used his Sharingan to observe.

Good lord!

That serve's ball speed successfully broke through 210 kilometers per hour!

But unfortunately, the ball didn't clear the net.

Seeing this, the umpire called out.

"Double fault!"

"15:0!"

But Ototarō Choutarou didn't look the least bit upset.

He immediately cried out happily.

"Wow! So fast!"

"Kamishiro! That ball just now was so fast!"

Afterwards, Ototarō Choutarou bowed deeply to Kamishiro Aki!

"Thank you!"

Everyone else who saw this scene was shocked!

Isn't this a match?

How did it turn into practice coaching!?

And the coaching was even correct!

Even Sakaki Tarou couldn't sit still.

He hurriedly stood up and asked Kamishiro Aki.
