Chapter 173
"The third game begins!"
"Keigo Atobe’s service game!"
Having been taken two games directly by Keigo Atobe, the atmosphere in the venue was a bit off.
"No way, Hyotei took two more games!"
"Is Shusuke Fuji not going to be able to beat Keigo Atobe?"
"Isn't it normal not to be able to beat him? Atobe-sama is very awesome, okay!"
"Fart! Senior Fuji is the most awesome!"
"Right! Genius Fuji won’t lose!"
The two sides suddenly began to fight fiercely.
Seeing this, Keigo Atobe waved his hand, and the Hyotei cheerleading squad shouted instantly.
"Atobe! Atobe!"
"Hyotei! Hyotei!"
The entire venue was instantly filled with the shouting of the Hyotei cheerleading squad.
Seeing this scene, the juniors who supported Shusuke Fuji also shouted with all their might.
"Fuji Fuji! Genius Fuji!"
"Seigaku must win!"
"Fuji Fuji! Genius Fuji!"
"Seigaku must win!"
……
Two voices were fighting fiercely in the entire venue at the same time.
The atmosphere became lively again.
One had to admit, Keigo Atobe knew how to warm up the venue.
And at this time, Keigo Atobe received the tennis ball thrown by the staff.
Immediately, he served!
"Bang!"
It was a very conventional serve.
But the angle was very tricky, almost pressing on the baseline.
"Bang!"
But when the ball landed, Shusuke Fuji had to run to the far right baseline to receive the ball.
According to the normal situation, the return of the next ball would likely be to the left court.
Therefore, Shusuke Fuji ran to the middle of the court immediately after returning it.
This was a very balanced position.
No matter where Keigo Atobe returned it, he could arrive in time.
He saw the ball fly over the net and arrive in front of Keigo Atobe.
Seeing this, he covered his face with his hand and said softly.
"Ice World!"
"Let me see your blind spot!"
The next instant, ice pillars descended from the sky around Shusuke Fuji again.
In the end, only two ice pillars remained unbroken.
Keigo Atobe revealed a smile.
He didn't expect to be able to find Shusuke Fuji’s blind spot again.
Seeing this, he swung his racket without hesitation!
"Bang!"
The racket struck the ball heavily.
The ball instantly arrived at the corner of Shusuke Fuji’s right baseline.
"Bang!"
When this ball struck there, Shusuke Fuji reacted.
He ran back in time.
But the ball speed was too fast, and he didn't catch up.
The ball flew out of the baseline and landed on the ground.
Seeing this, the umpire hurriedly called the score.
"0:15!"
Shusuke Fuji’s brows furrowed slightly.
He had already thought that Keigo Atobe might hit the right side.
But his footwork had been moving toward the left side.
When switching, he still didn't make it in time.
However, he felt that he should be able to receive Keigo Atobe’s ball next time.
Subsequently, Keigo Atobe served again.
Before serving, his gaze lingered on Shusuke Fuji for a few seconds.
Immediately after, he tossed the ball rapidly, jumped, and served.
"Bang!"
The ball struck Shusuke Fuji’s service area rapidly.
"Bang!"
When the ball bounced, Shusuke Fuji immediately returned it.
"Bang!"
This return was quite powerful; the ball speed was faster than before!
The spin was also increased by double compared to the previous return.
The ball flew over the net and struck the court heavily.
"Bang!"
But when the ball bounced, Keigo Atobe immediately realized that the spin of this ball was stronger than before.
However, it could still be received.
At this time, he activated the Ice World again to observe Shusuke Fuji’s blind spot at this very moment.
In this instant, only one ice pillar was near Shusuke Fuji’s left foot.
As long as he could hit that position precisely, Shusuke Fuji wouldn't be able to return it.
Even if he wanted to, the physical limitation would make him unable to move.
After locking onto the position, Keigo Atobe swung his racket immediately!
"Bang!"
The ball went toward the position he had locked onto instantly.
The eyes of the whole stadium were focused on this tennis ball.
He saw the ball touch the net lightly as it flew over.
But if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't see it.
And it was just such a light touch that the ball’s spin was weakened a little.
"Bang!"
The ball didn't smash into the position Keigo Atobe had preset.
Instead, it smashed into Shusuke Fuji’s racket.
At this time, Keigo Atobe discovered that Shusuke Fuji hadn't moved at all.
He had just extended his racket forward by half a racket’s distance.
The ball just happened to strike the racket.
At first glance, it was a coincidence, but Keigo Atobe could tell from Shusuke Fuji’s expression.
This was not a coincidence!
But something Shusuke Fuji had carefully designed!
"Bang!"
After the ball struck the racket, it turned into a drop shot.
Seeing this, Keigo Atobe hurriedly ran to the net to save the ball.
"Bang!"
Before the ball landed, he managed to catch up.
He lunged forward directly, and the racket successfully touched the ball.
"Bang!"
The ball bounced lightly, just crossing the net by the distance of three tennis balls.
And at this time, Shusuke Fuji suddenly appeared at the net.
He saw him swing his racket and perform a smash directly at the ball!
The ball smashed heavily onto the baseline position behind Keigo Atobe.
Keigo Atobe hadn't stood up yet, so naturally, he couldn't receive it.
When the ball went out of bounds, the umpire called the score.
"15:15!"
Seeing this, Shusuke Fuji narrowed his eyes and smiled at Keigo Atobe.
"This is called the Ice-Shattering Smash."
The voice wasn't loud, but the whole stadium heard it!
Good guy!
What an Ice-Shattering Smash!
The name of the Ice-Shattering Smash was self-explanatory.
The appearance of the Ice-Shattering Smash meant that Shusuke Fuji had broken Keigo Atobe’s Ice World!
Instantly, a huge shout erupted from the side supporting Shusuke Fuji!
"Fuji is so strong!"
"Too awesome!"
"As expected of the genius Fuji!"
"Fuji Fuji, genius Fuji!"
……
Seeing this, Keigo Atobe just smiled slightly.
"Fuji, this match has just begun."
"And I’m still leading you by two games."
"Your Ice-Shattering Smash won’t be able to last until the end of the match, right?"
"Fuji, that return of yours just now put a lot of strain on your arm, right? Ah?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shusuke Fuji’s pupils constricted slightly.
Clearly, he had been seen through by Keigo Atobe.
