Chapter 175: Eiji Kikumaru

Immediately, both teams entered the court.

When Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori entered the court.

The Hyotei cheering squad immediately shouted loudly to support them!

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Victory! Victory!"

"Ohtori! Shishido! Ohtori! Shishido!"

Hearing the cheers of the Hyotei squad.

Eiji Kikumaru couldn't help but complain.

"I really can't stand these guys, it's so infuriating!"

Seeing this, Shuichiro Oishi revealed a confident smile.

"Eiji, we can't lose to them this time!"

Eiji Kikumaru flipped his racket over, then followed up with a flick of his wrist to return the ball.

"That's for sure! We must defeat them!"

In the previous Metropolitan Tournament finals, Eiji Kikumaru had lost to Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori because his stamina couldn't keep up.

Therefore, Eiji Kikumaru had increased his stamina and endurance training.

He even underwent hypoxic training, all to be able to defeat Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori together with Shuichiro Oishi!

Immediately, the two entered the court full of confidence.

The two walked to the middle of the court to shake hands with Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori before the match.

At this moment, Eiji Kikumaru smiled.

"This victory belongs to us!"

Seeing this, Ryo Shishido revealed a wicked smile and said.

"Don't be so cocky, we'll see after we play!"

Both sides were ready to explode!

Seeing this, the umpire immediately said.

"National Tournament, Hyotei match point!"

"Seishun Academy versus Hyotei Academy Doubles 1 match now officially begins!"

"First game begins!"

"Hyotei Chotaro Ohtori’s service game!"

It was truly lucky that Chotaro Ohtori had the serve right from the start.

Because of Aki Kamishiro’s guidance, Chotaro Ohtori’s Heavy Cannon Serve had advanced to the Neo-Cannon Serve!

And it could land precisely within the doubles court boundaries!

Its speed could reach 245 kilometers per hour, although not as fast as Aki Kamishiro’s serve.

But this kind of speed was no longer something Eiji Kikumaru and Shuichiro Oishi could return!

Chotaro Ohtori took the tennis ball, casually bouncing it on the ground a few times with his racket.

The ball bounced back to his hand; Chotaro Ohtori held his breath and stared ahead.

Just then, he tossed the tennis ball into the air.

The next instant, he pushed off with his legs and jumped to follow the ball.

He extended his racket and smashed it fiercely into the tennis ball.

"Neo-Cannon Serve!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball turned into a streak of yellow light, flying rapidly across the net and slamming heavily into the service area in front of Shuichiro Oishi!

"Bang!"

Shuichiro Oishi didn't react at all.

By the time the ball bounced, he finally reacted.

But by then, it was too late!

The tennis ball flew right past him!

"Whoosh!"

The tennis ball flew rapidly toward the spectator stands.

Seeing this, the umpire immediately called the score.

"Ace!"

"15:0!"

Hearing the umpire’s voice, the whole arena was shocked!

"Neo-Cannon Serve?!"

"This serve is so fast!"

Outside the court, Satoshi Horio exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ryoma Echizen asked a question.

"The big brother on the court has such amazing tennis!"

"But won't such a fast tennis ball hurt people?"

At this moment, Ryoma Echizen had not yet recovered his memory.

He currently had a look of clarity mixed with dullness in his eyes.

This left Satoshi Horio speechless.

"Echizen, hurry up and remember, you used to be able to return this kind of tennis ball too!"

Hearing him say this, Ryoma Echizen rolled his eyes and thought for a moment.

"I was that amazing before?"

"Too scary! This isn't right! It will hurt people!"

Ryoma Echizen immediately showed a look of fear.

Seeing this, Satoshi Horio really couldn't take it anymore.

He grabbed Ryoma Echizen’s shoulders and started shaking him.

"Wake up!!!!"

Ryoma Echizen instantly felt the world spinning, his brains about to be shaken into a pulp.

The Seigaku team also hoped Ryoma Echizen would recover his memory quickly.

The next match was extremely critical.

If Ryoma Echizen couldn't remember, their Seigaku would miss out on the national championship.

Yes, they never thought the golden doubles pair of Eiji Kikumaru and Shuichiro Oishi would lose.

At this moment, the match continued.

It was still Chotaro Ohtori’s serve!

"Neo-Cannon Serve!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball bombed into Seigaku’s service area again.

"Bang!"

A hair-raising serve speed!

This time, Shuichiro Oishi did react.

But he still didn't return it!

"30:0!"

Another ace!

Satoshi Horio widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Another Neo-Cannon Serve!"

"Although it's quite fast, compared to that Aki Kamishiro, this serve isn't that fast, right? What is Senior Oishi doing?"

Hearing this, Sadaharu Inui interrupted him directly.

"No, the speed of this Neo-Cannon Serve is very fast; it’s impossible for Oishi to return it."

"Aki Kamishiro’s serve is no longer at a national level; it cannot be compared to him."

"In this game, Oishi and the others will lose."

Satoshi Horio naturally didn't believe it, he muttered under his breath.

"How is that possible, I think Senior Oishi hasn't even started playing seriously!"

Just as he finished speaking, Chotaro Ohtori scored again with his Neo-Cannon Serve!

"40:0!"

Satoshi Horio widened his eyes!

Not only that, the last ball was the same!

Chotaro Ohtori won the game again with his Neo-Cannon Serve!

"Bang!"

"1:0!"

"Hyotei leads for now!"

Seeing this, Satoshi Horio shouted again.

"No way! Are Senior Oishi and the others going to lose?"

"If they lose, the championship will be Hyotei’s..."

Satoshi Horio was worried sick for the whole of Seigaku!

Seeing this, Shusuke Fuji smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"Horio, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you drink Inui Juice every day!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Satoshi Horio immediately covered his mouth.

He didn't want to drink Inui Juice; Shusuke Fuji’s words were not spoken lightly.

If he kept talking nonsense, Shusuke Fuji would really make him drink Inui Juice every day!

Seeing Satoshi Horio stop talking, Sadaharu Inui pushed up his glasses and said.

"Although Chotaro Ohtori’s Neo-Cannon Serve is strong, this is doubles."

"The second game is Oishi and the others’ chance!"

Subsequently, the umpire announced the start of the second match!

"Second match begins!"

"Seigaku Kikumaru’s service game!"

Immediately, Eiji Kikumaru took the tennis ball and said to Chotaro Ohtori.

"Let me show you my new serve too!"

Kikumaru’s new serve?

Not only Shishido, but Ohtori was very confused, and the whole arena was very confused.

Didn't Eiji Kikumaru play acrobatic shots?

He actually went out of his way to research a new serve?

Even Aki Kamishiro, who knew the plot, was also confused.

He didn't remember Eiji Kikumaru having any proud serving skills?

When everyone was confused, they saw Eiji Kikumaru toss the tennis ball into the air.

The moment the tennis ball fell, he immediately exerted force and jumped!

He rotated in the air for one turn, using the power brought by the rotation to swing his racket and smash it rapidly into the tennis ball.

"Kikumaru—"

"Rocket Launcher!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball turned into a streak of yellow light and smashed rapidly into Hyotei’s service area!

"Bang!"
