Chapter 172
Forgotten how to play tennis?!
This...
The Seigaku crowd didn't know what to say.
And Shusuke Fuji didn't know what had happened in the spectator stands.
He only knew that Ryoma Echizen had arrived, and he suddenly relaxed.
A sense of confidence also arose spontaneously.
Subsequently, he narrowed his eyes and smiled at Keigo Atobe.
"Atobe, watch out for my serve!"
The second game officially began, and it was Shusuke Fuji’s service game.
Since it was Shusuke Fuji’s service game.
His serve would naturally be the vanishing serve.
Which was the low-altitude draw shot.
Shusuke Fuji held the tennis ball, his fingertips moving slightly.
The whole ball rotated and fell downward.
When the ball was about to hit the ground, Shusuke Fuji swung his racket rapidly to draw-shoot the ball!
"Bang!"
Low-altitude draw shot!
The ball crossed the net in an instant.
The moment it crossed the net, it immediately disappeared from Keigo Atobe’s field of vision.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be panicked and at a loss.
But this was Keigo Atobe.
He placed his hand on his face.
"Insight Vision!"
He immediately looked around the court and instantly captured the trace of the tennis ball.
"Bang!"
When the sound of the ball landing rang out, Keigo Atobe had already arrived at the ball’s position.
He hurriedly swung his racket rapidly to strike the ball that had just bounced.
"Bang!"
The next instant, the ball was hit back directly.
Shusuke Fuji hurriedly ran; Keigo Atobe being able to return the vanishing serve was also within his expectations.
After all, this was Keigo Atobe!
However, Keigo Atobe had returned it in a hurry, so the spin of the ball wasn't controlled very well.
It was a relatively powerful topspin ball.
But not enough for Shusuke Fuji to hit a Swallow Return.
Seeing this, when he swung his racket to strike the ball, he added topspin again.
"Bang!"
The ball was hit back again.
"Bang!"
The ball landed on Keigo Atobe’s court again.
And just when Shusuke Fuji thought Keigo Atobe would continue the endurance match.
He saw Keigo Atobe cover his face with his hand and then smile.
"Fuji, let me show you my Ice World!"
Ice World?!
Was he going to unleash his strongest trump card, the Ice World, in only the second game?
Shusuke Fuji naturally knew about the Ice World.
He couldn't help but frown.
The effect of the Ice World domain was second only to the Tezuka Zone.
It was also a very powerful domain move.
Shusuke Fuji had to take it seriously.
The tennis ball had arrived at the most suitable timing for a strike.
Keigo Atobe swung his racket decisively.
He looked at Shusuke Fuji and said.
"Fuji, I see your blind spot."
After Keigo Atobe said this, a dozen ice pillars suddenly appeared in front of him, descending from the sky.
Any ice pillar that wasn't in Shusuke Fuji’s blind spot would shatter and dissipate the moment it hit the ground.
Immediately after, a dozen ice pillars shattered and dissipated instantly.
Only three ice pillars remained, nailed firmly to Shusuke Fuji’s left rear side.
One was in Shusuke Fuji’s visual blind spot.
One was in a position difficult for Shusuke Fuji’s racket to reach.
And one was in a position difficult for Shusuke Fuji to run to.
The three ice pillars existed for only an instant.
In other words, the opportunity was fleeting.
Keigo Atobe confirmed the position for the strike in an instant.
He smashed the ball out decisively!
"Bang!"
The ball instantly flew over the net.
"Bang!"
The ball passed over Shusuke Fuji’s left side.
Shusuke Fuji hurriedly reacted and wanted to receive the ball.
But when he twisted, his body suddenly paused for a moment.
As if he had been frozen.
When he reacted again, the ball had already flown out of the baseline.
This feeling was very strange!
It was as if his body was fighting against his own actions.
When he snapped back to reality, the umpire called the score.
"0:15!"
At this time, Keigo Atobe smiled.
"Fuji, is my Ice World gorgeous enough?"
Seeing this, Shusuke Fuji asked.
"What did you do?"
Keigo Atobe covered his face with his hand and said.
"I said, your blind spot has already been seen through."
"That ball just now hit your blind spot."
"That’s why your body paused, as if it had been frozen."
After he explained it like this, Shusuke Fuji opened his eyes.
Indeed, his movements were just as Keigo Atobe had said.
As if he had been frozen.
"Is this the Ice World?"
This was the first time Shusuke Fuji had truly witnessed Keigo Atobe’s Ice World.
Afterward, Shusuke Fuji continued to serve.
He still used the low-altitude draw shot to serve.
But Keigo Atobe was currently in the state of having activated the Ice World.
The tennis ball couldn't escape his eyes.
"Bang!"
When the ball crossed the net and landed, Keigo Atobe appeared in front of it again.
He hurriedly swung his racket!
The moment he swung his racket, he looked in Shusuke Fuji’s direction.
The next instant, a dozen more ice pillars descended from the sky.
The ice pillars shattered and dissipated one after another.
In the end, five ice pillars remained!
Shusuke Fuji had quite a few blind spots this time.
After seeing the blind spots clearly, Keigo Atobe didn't hesitate and struck the ball heavily with his racket.
"Bang!"
Immediately after, the ball flew over the net and smashed heavily below Shusuke Fuji’s racket.
Shusuke Fuji had indeed seen the ball land below his racket.
He had just wanted to return this ball.
But his body felt a momentary sense of frustration again.
And it was in this instant that the ball had already flown toward the outside of the baseline.
Seeing this, Shusuke Fuji was stunned for a moment.
How is this possible?!
And in the eyes of others, Shusuke Fuji seemed to be frozen in place, not going to receive the ball.
Satoshi Horio couldn't help but ask.
"What is Senior Fuji doing? That ball could clearly have been received!"
Even Eiji Kikumaru, who knew Keigo Atobe was using the Ice World, couldn't help but wonder.
"Fuji, is he not in good condition?"
They had already accepted the fact that Ryoma Echizen had lost his memory.
Currently, they planned to let Ryoma Echizen watch more matches.
Perhaps there would be a chance for him to remember.
At this time, Sadaharu Inui pushed up his glasses and opened his data notebook.
"This is Atobe’s domain, the Ice World!"
"The effect of the Ice World is to see through the opponent’s blind spots and hit the ball to a place the opponent cannot reach."
"Even if they see the ball bounce at their feet, they still cannot receive it."
Once he said this, Satoshi Horio was instantly unconvinced.
"How is this possible? Is it possible to do that?"
Sadaharu Inui nodded and answered seriously.
"It is possible."
"The human body’s structure is complex; the so-called blind spot is not a blind spot in Fuji’s thinking, but a blind spot in his body."
"As long as you hit the place his body cannot move to, it’s fine."
The more he explained, the less it made sense; Satoshi Horio was already quite confused.
But everyone else understood.
Seeing this, Satoshi Horio had no choice but to pretend to understand.
"Oh!~ So that’s how it is!"
Actually, he didn't understand very well either.
The match on the court was still ongoing.
But Shusuke Fuji still had no way to break Keigo Atobe’s Ice World.
The remaining two balls were still found in his blind spots.
Every time, he could see the ball smash down beside him, but as long as Shusuke Fuji wanted to receive it, his body would suddenly pause.
And then the racket could swing to the place he originally wanted to swing to.
"0:2!"
"Hyotei takes this game!"
