Chapter 22: Sorry, Senior Jiro, this ball is still mine!

He had never seen such a request.

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro served!

"Bang!"

"Finger-Gun Serve!"

Immediately, the ball crossed the net at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, Jiro Akutagawa moved.

He ran quickly toward the landing spot of the ball.

"I see it!"

"I can receive this ball!"

Jiro Akutagawa swung his racket quickly with an excited face!

Whew!

Although he swung and missed, the distance between the racket and the ball was only about one or two ball-widths.

Everyone was stunned!

Including Aki Kamishiro.

He hadn't expected Jiro Akutagawa’s reaction to actually keep up.

As expected of Hyotei’s second-strongest player.

At this moment, Jiro Akutagawa said with frustration.

"What a pity, just a little bit off, I’ll definitely receive the next one!"

Immediately, the umpire announced the score.

"40:0!"

Hearing this score, Jiro Akutagawa wanted to receive the next ball even more.

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro prepared slightly and then served.

"Bang!"

"Finger-Gun Serve!"

The ball crossed the net again at an astonishing speed.

But Jiro Akutagawa had already adapted to such a fast ball speed.

He could gradually see the ball.

At the same time, he could roughly predict the landing spot of the ball.

When he saw the ball, he was overjoyed.

"I see you!"

Immediately, the ball landed.

"Bang!"

Following closely behind was Jiro Akutagawa’s swinging racket.

"Bang!"

He hit it!

But because the ball speed was too fast, it was hard to control.

It flew directly to the side.

The ball flew past the umpire’s hair.

"Whew!"

The umpire was startled!

Looking at the falling ball, he stammered out the score.

"1... 1:0!"

"The challenger Aki Kamishiro is temporarily in the lead!"

The fact that Jiro Akutagawa could receive this ball stunned everyone!

Yuushi Oshitari couldn't help but say.

"I can't believe it! This guy Jiro actually has such a fast reaction speed!"

"Atobe, did he have such a fast reaction when he played against you?"

Seeing this, Keigo Atobe shook his head.

"No, when I played against Jiro, that guy just wanted to finish early and go to sleep."

"Maybe it’s because he’s interested in Kamishiro."

"Or maybe, he really wanted to receive the Finger-Gun Serve, and thus unleashed the potential within his body."

"Perhaps Aki Kamishiro has a way to make Jiro reach the Awakening State."

Awakening State?

Hearing this term, Yuushi Oshitari couldn't help but ask.

"Atobe, what do you mean by the Awakening State you just mentioned?"

Seeing this, Keigo Atobe took a sip of his drink and said.

"Jiro has three states."

"One is his usual dazed state, ready to sleep at any time."

"The second is like this, awake, in a state where he can play tennis."

"And the last one, which is the Awakening State!"

"In the Awakening State, he becomes very excited! His overall strength will be twice as strong as it is now!"

Hearing this, Yuushi Oshitari was somewhat shocked.

Because he had never seen Jiro Akutagawa’s Awakening State.

It made him doubt whether his own strength was enough to awaken Jiro Akutagawa.

Keigo Atobe didn't know what Yuushi Oshitari was thinking.

He still couldn't figure it out.

Jiro Akutagawa could actually receive Aki Kamishiro’s Finger-Gun Serve even in this normal state.

"It seems this guy Jiro’s strength has grown again."

At the same time, he was also thinking, if it were him, could he receive it?

It made him regret pausing the match with Aki Kamishiro earlier.

He should have finished the match with Aki Kamishiro no matter what.

Even if he were punished by Taro Sakaki, it wouldn't matter.

Thinking about it now, it was really a pity!

However, the match against Aki Kamishiro wouldn't be long in coming.

Actually, the most surprised one was Aki Kamishiro.

He saw that Jiro Akutagawa had already adapted to his fifty percent strength Finger-Gun Serve.

So this Finger-Gun Serve used sixty percent strength.

That is, a super-fast ball speed of 230 kilometers per hour!

As a result, it was actually caught up to by Jiro Akutagawa!

And he even hit it!

Sure enough, one cannot underestimate this person.

Jiro Akutagawa’s potential was definitely not as simple as what was seen in the anime.

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro didn't hold back anymore.

At this time, Jiro Akutagawa ran directly toward Aki Kamishiro.

"Kamishiro! Let’s continue, you shouldn't be tired, right?"

Good grief!

No resting?

Although Aki Kamishiro wasn't tired, he at least needed to drink some water.

Seeing this, he smiled.

"Senior Jiro, wait for me, I’ll drink some water."

Hearing this, Jiro Akutagawa finally realized.

"Oh right, come to think of it, I’m a bit thirsty too."

"Then let’s continue after we drink some water!"

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro had no choice but to nod.

There was really no helping him.

This guy Jiro Akutagawa, no one was like him.

Getting so excited just from playing a game of tennis.

But it was fine, Aki Kamishiro wasn't tired anyway.

After the two finished drinking water, the second match started immediately.

The umpire said.

"Match continues!"

"This game will be served by Senior Jiro Akutagawa."

Aki Kamishiro remembered Jiro Akutagawa’s moves.

There was a move called High-Speed Net-Rush.

It was to rush to the middle of the net immediately after serving.

It looked simple, but in fact, this serve had a great deal of depth.

Without waiting for Aki Kamishiro to think too much, Jiro Akutagawa started serving!

He tossed the ball into the air, then Jiro Akutagawa leaped up and swung his racket.

"Bang!"

Jump Serve!

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro quickly observed the rotation angle of the ball.

Sure enough!

Although it looked like a very ordinary serve.

But with this rotation angle, as long as Aki Kamishiro received the ball, it would definitely be a low ball.

Therefore, Jiro Akutagawa could run to the middle of the net without any worries.

"Bang!"

When the ball landed and bounced, the rotation angle remained the same.

After Aki Kamishiro received the ball, it indeed became a low ball.

At this moment, he found that Jiro Akutagawa had already run to the net to wait.

Seeing the ball flying over, Jiro Akutagawa smiled excitedly.

"Sorry, Kamishiro, I’m going to take this point!"

Following that, Jiro Akutagawa swung his racket violently and hit the ball to Aki Kamishiro’s diagonal area.

The distance was very long!

It was impossible to receive it no matter what.

Just when Jiro Akutagawa thought Aki Kamishiro couldn't receive this ball.

Aki Kamishiro’s next move shocked everyone!

Aki Kamishiro disappeared directly from where he was!

The next instant, he suddenly appeared on the other side of the court!

The ball had just landed.

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro easily hit a lob.

Immediately, he smiled at Jiro Akutagawa.

"Sorry, Senior Jiro, this ball is still mine!"
