Chapter 165
Tezuka Kunimitsu only then realized how the Demigod Interception was used.
But others were still very confused.
Kikumaru Eiji expressed his confusion.
"What's going on?!"
"Didn't Tezuka hit a Zero-Style Drop Shot?"
"Even because of the arm load, it's impossible for it to go directly out of bounds!"
"How did Kamishiro Aki do it?"
After he raised his question, he immediately looked in Inui Sadaharu's direction.
Attempting to get a reasonable explanation.
Inui Sadaharu saw the gazes from Kikumaru Eiji and the crowd.
He started to think, adding what Kamishiro Aki had just said.
It didn't take him long to understand what was going on.
After organizing his thoughts a little, he spoke directly to explain to everyone.
"I understand."
Hearing this, everyone looked over together.
Inui Sadaharu continued.
"The so-called Demigod Interception is actually a super-spin ball."
"Before it lands, it is just an ordinary spin ball."
"But after landing, the moment it touches the ground, it suddenly rubs against the ground to reach a terrifying acceleration."
"Therefore, this creates the effect where we can't see the ball, and it's even too fast to see the shadow!"
"Similarly, the Demigod Interception hit by Kamishiro Aki hitting Tezuka's racket is just like hitting the ground."
"And Kamishiro Aki also activated the 'Insight' limit."
"He calculated the spin force of the Zero-Style Drop Shot into it; the spin forces of both added together, the power is definitely faster than before!"
"So even if Tezuka hits a Zero-Style Drop Shot, it will still go out of bounds."
After this analysis, everyone was stunned!
They seemed to understand, yet seemed not to understand.
But they still nodded to indicate they should have understood.
Must say, Inui Sadaharu was still very capable.
Kamishiro Aki heard his words.
The basic principle of the Demigod Interception was just like that.
But as for how it was done, Inui Sadaharu didn't know either.
However, just knowing this point, Tezuka Kunimitsu had a way to deal with Kamishiro Aki's Demigod Interception.
Tezuka Kunimitsu had already recovered.
Although the pain in his elbow was still there, the desire for victory outweighed the pain.
He had already thought about how to deal with Kamishiro Aki's Demigod Interception.
Subsequently, he received the ball tossed by the staff member.
The load on his elbow was too great; he could no longer activate the Zero-Style Serve.
Even if he forced it, it would be useless.
As long as it didn't slide along the ground, Kamishiro Aki could hit it back.
Tezuka Kunimitsu firmly believed this.
After preparing slightly, he tossed the ball up, and when the ball fell, he swung his racket with force!
"Boom!"
This serve was not the deadly Zero-Style Serve.
But another serving move of Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Close-Angle Shot!
The Close-Angle Shot was to hit the serve precisely to the corner of the court, making it difficult to return.
But for Kamishiro Aki, this was just a very ordinary serve.
Kamishiro Aki hit this ball back easily without even using any moves.
"Boom!"
The ball flew over the net, aiming at Tezuka Kunimitsu's right court.
Dealing with a left-hander like Tezuka Kunimitsu, hitting to the right court was already the norm.
Because that was the ball path Tezuka Kunimitsu was least good at dealing with.
"Boom!"
The ball slammed into the ground and flew straight toward the baseline.
But Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't move; he still stood in place and raised his racket.
A pale white aura surged on his left arm.
"It's the 'Hundred Refinements' technique!"
Anyone with a discerning eye knew what Tezuka Kunimitsu had done.
Immediately after, an aura surged around Tezuka Kunimitsu again.
The next instant, the ball that had just flown out of the baseline suddenly curved toward Tezuka Kunimitsu.
"Tezuka Zone?!"
"Tezuka... he activated the Tezuka Zone again."
"The 'Hundred Refinements' technique plus the Tezuka Zone? Tezuka's arm..."
The Seigaku crowd was very worried.
After all, Tezuka's elbow already had very obvious swelling.
If he forced the activation of the Tezuka Zone again, it would increase the burden on his elbow.
For the sake of winning this match, was it really worth gambling with his future?
They couldn't understand, and Kamishiro Aki couldn't understand either.
Perhaps this was Tezuka Kunimitsu!
While sighing, Tezuka Kunimitsu swung his racket!
The moment he swung, the ball happened to fly in front of the racket.
As if he had predicted the ball's trajectory in advance.
"Boom!"
The 'Hundred Refinements' return!
All the spin, destructive power, and speed of the ball were returned twofold!
At this moment, the ball's speed was just twice what Kamishiro Aki had hit!
The destructive power was the same.
But Kamishiro Aki was not afraid at all.
"Boom!"
When the ball arrived on the court, he immediately activated the Shave step technique!
The racket pulled back rapidly.
The moment the ball bounced up, he swung his racket fiercely!
"Boom!"
"Demigod Interception!"
That's right, Kamishiro Aki still used the Demigod Interception to deal with Tezuka Kunimitsu.
In the situation where Tezuka Kunimitsu's elbow load was too great, just this return was enough to beat Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Kamishiro Aki thought so.
And others thought so too.
They really couldn't think of any other way Tezuka Kunimitsu could break Kamishiro Aki's Demigod Interception.
After all, this ball couldn't even be conquered by the Zero-Style Drop Shot.
Everyone felt that Tezuka Kunimitsu was going to lose this point.
When they thought this, the ball flew over the net.
The ball started to drop quickly.
"Boom!"
When the ball slammed heavily into the ground, the whole arena was stunned!
Kamishiro Aki was also stunned for a moment!
This ball didn't land in the valid area for singles!
Instead, it landed exactly about one centimeter outside the baseline of the singles area!
Although this distance wasn't long, it was indeed out of bounds!
The next instant, the ball suddenly accelerated and rushed toward the spectator stands.
But no matter how much the ball accelerated afterward, it was useless.
Because it was already out of bounds!
Seeing this, the referee immediately called the score.
"Out!"
"30:30!"
At this time, Kamishiro Aki immediately understood what Tezuka Kunimitsu had done.
It couldn't be wrong; this move was Tezuka Kunimitsu's reverse Tezuka Zone.
Named Tezuka Phantom!
At this time, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Kamishiro Aki with firm eyes and said.
"Since I can't receive it, then just let it go out of bounds."
He remembered this sentence was said to him by Echizen Ryoma.
It was because of Echizen Ryoma's reminder that he created the Tezuka Phantom.
But this move was his trump card; except for him, no one else knew.
At this moment, the Seigaku crowd was all dumbfounded.
"How did Captain Tezuka do it?"
"He actually made Kamishiro Aki's Demigod Interception go directly out of bounds!"
"Or was it Kamishiro Aki's mistake?"
Kikumaru Eiji had too many questions; Inui Sadaharu thought for a while and shook his head.
"No, it wasn't Kamishiro Aki's mistake."
