Chapter 18: Tempest Wave Ball, Echizen Ryoma

And this time the feeling was even stronger than before!

Ibu Shinji was really scared.

The most ridiculous thing wasn't this.

It was that Kamishiro Aki only used two returns to paralyze his arm.

Ibu Shinji’s method required at least five or six returns to reach a state of paralysis.

Echizen Ryoma, who was watching from outside the protective net, was a bit shocked.

Ibu Shinji’s current state was the state he was paralyzed in before.

(The previous chapter was written wrong; Fudomine and Seigaku had already played in the regional qualifiers.)

(So Echizen Ryoma and Ibu Shinji had already dueled, and Echizen Ryoma was injured because of it.)

Back to the point.

Echizen Ryoma still had the previous duel vividly in his mind.

Although the injury had already healed.

But he didn't want to play tennis with someone like Ibu Shinji again.

It was too dangerous, and as long as one wasn't careful, they would fall into his trap.

Because of this, Kamishiro Aki’s performance made him feel quite surprised!

He hadn't expected that someone else could use a technique similar to Ibu Shinji’s arm paralysis.

The tennis ball easily crossed Ibu Shinji again.

This kind of ball that even a five-year-old child could receive flew past under his racket so easily.

Seeing this, the umpire called the score.

"40:0!"

Losing another ball, Ibu Shinji was very unwilling.

He couldn't help but ask Kamishiro Aki.

"How do you know my move?"

Hearing this question, Kamishiro Aki was very confused.

He asked back.

"Why do you say it’s your move?"

"Are you the only genius in the world?"

"Do you think I can't see your means of intending to paralyze me with up and down spin balls?"

The three consecutive counter-questions left Ibu Shinji stunned for a moment.

It was indeed true; he wasn't the only one who could think of this technique.

It wasn't Ibu Shinji’s patent.

At this time, Kamishiro Aki said again.

"Although you have the title of genius, aren't you too confident? The means of paralyzing the arm with up and down spin balls is too inefficient."

"The method I used is not your method."

Once these words were out, Ibu Shinji was dumbfounded.

Not using the method of up and down spin balls?

Besides this method, are there other ways to paralyze the arm?

He really couldn't think of any.

Afterwards, Kamishiro Aki said again.

"This ball of mine is called the Tempest Wave Ball!"

Tempest Wave Ball!?

There was actually a move name!

Kamishiro Aki’s voice wasn't small, and the whole arena heard it.

Although they didn't know what had happened.

But Kamishiro Aki had already said the move name.

The ball just now must have been a very powerful ball.

But people who also played tennis were very concerned.

For example, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Fuji Syusuke, Echizen Ryoma.

And Atobe Keigo, Oshitari Yuushi, Akutagawa Jirou.

As well as Tachibana Kippei, Kamio Akira, Ibu Shinji. ===== CHAPTER 45 =====

They really wanted to figure out the principle of this ball.

Atobe Keigo thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

"That guy Kamishiro is really not simple."

"It seems I need to consider giving him a raise."

"With his strength, a daily salary of 100,000 seems a bit low."

"Oshitari, what is your opinion."

Oshitari Yuushi shook his head.

"I didn't see it either."

"The technique of this Tempest Wave Ball is similar to an ordinary ball."

"I still need to observe more."

Atobe Keigo shook his head and said.

"No, I'm asking you about Kamishiro’s salary, what is your opinion?"

Hearing this, Oshitari Yuushi was stunned for a moment.

So it was this question.

Seeing this, he asked back.

"Atobe, you wouldn't be afraid that if the salary is low, he will go to another school, right?"

Although Atobe Keigo didn't answer him.

But looking at his expression, that should be one of the reasons.

Seeing this, Oshitari Yuushi pushed up his glasses and smiled.

"I think you are overthinking it; other schools don't have a wealthy sponsor like you."

"As for whether to give a raise, it's up to you; it's not me paying the salary."

This remark left Atobe Keigo speechless.

Just at this moment, Ibu Shinji planned to serve.

This time he used an ordinary serve!

He wanted to verify one thing.

He wanted to see how Kamishiro Aki could hit the so-called Tempest Wave Ball without using the up and down spin ball method.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball successfully crossed the net and landed.

Seeing the rotation direction of the ball, Kamishiro Aki immediately knew what Ibu Shinji wanted to do.

He didn't take it to heart either.

Since Ibu Shinji wanted to see, let him study it.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki transmitted the ripple of the Tempest Kick to the racket and slammed it heavily into the tennis ball!

"Bang!"

The next instant, the tennis ball was directly endowed with the ripple of the Tempest Kick and hit back!

The tennis ball successfully crossed the net!

Ibu Shinji looked carefully many times, but this ball was just an ordinary return!

Could it be that Kamishiro Aki didn't intend to use the Tempest Wave Ball anymore?

He held this question, received the tennis ball, and hit it to the corner.

Regardless of whether it was a Tempest Wave Ball or not, he had to play the match seriously.

And at this time, Ibu Shinji saw Kamishiro Aki go to receive the ball.

But the ball Kamishiro Aki hit back was again that kind of super slow ball!

That is, the kind that even a five-year-old child could receive!

Seeing this, he suddenly realized that what he had just received was the so-called Tempest Wave Ball!

As expected!

Of course, when he was about to receive the ball, he discovered that his arm couldn't move again.

Ibu Shinji was directly frozen in place!

"How is this possible?"

"Can temporary paralysis be achieved without the up and down spin ball method?"

"What is the principle of this?"

"Could it really be as he said, my cognition is too narrow?"

……

Ibu Shinji started muttering again.

But this time, he was constantly asking himself.

The umpire didn't care about this; he only cared about calling the score.

"2:0!"

"Hyotei Academy player Kamishiro Aki is temporarily in the lead!"

Not only was Ibu Shinji very concerned about this ball, but others were also very concerned.

Kikumaru Eiji shouted out.

"How did this guy do it!?"

"The ball just now should have been an ordinary ball, but why couldn't Fudomine’s Ibu Shinji move?"

His question, no one could answer him.

Even Inui Sadaharu shook his head.

"Completely unable to see; I previously thought he used a method similar to Ibu Shinji’s for temporary paralysis."

"But it seems that’s not the case."

"Kamishiro Aki didn't even do up and down spin balls, just an ordinary return."

After hearing him finish, everyone was even more concerned.

Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji hurriedly asked Echizen Ryoma.

"Shorty, your dynamic vision is the best, did you see anything?"

Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma nodded.

"Hmm, I saw his racket vibrate several times before he swung it."

Once these words were out, everyone was stunned for a moment.

They seemed to have only focused on the rotation direction of the tennis ball all along.

Completely failing to focus their attention on the racket!

So, the method of hitting the Tempest Wave Ball was because of the racket?

But now it was already break time.

Echizen Ryoma’s conjecture couldn't be verified either.

They could only wait for the break time to end.

It was the first time they felt that the break time was so long.

Finally, the break time ended.

Kamishiro Aki and Ibu Shinji returned to the court again.

Everyone kept their attention on Kamishiro Aki’s racket.

But they seemed to have forgotten one thing.

This game was Kamishiro Aki’s service game! ===== CHAPTER 46 =====
