Chapter 249

Hearing his words, Kamishiro Aki felt an inexplicable sense of gratification.

Moreover, the look in Ryoma Echizen's eyes was different from before.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki smiled.

"What a wonderful look."

It wasn't just Kamishiro Aki who felt this way; everyone else thought so too.

Especially Shusuke Fuji, who squinted his eyes and smiled.

"It seems Ryoma has grown. Perhaps we really do have a chance to fight against Rikkai Dai this time."

Shusuke Fuji's words were ruthlessly cut off by Keigo Atobe.

"Fuji, aren't you being too naive?"

When he said this, Shusuke Fuji looked at Keigo Atobe.

He wanted to know why Keigo Atobe said that.

Seeing this, Keigo Atobe took a sip of an iced drink and explained with a smile.

"Although that brat Ryoma has grown a lot, don't underestimate Rikkai Dai."

"Rikkai Dai has been the national champion for two consecutive years. Don't tell me you don't understand the weight of that."

"Besides, Tezuka is still rehabilitating in Germany. To think of beating Rikkai Dai? Hmph, it's simply a pipe dream."

Keigo Atobe's words were full of mockery; anyone could see that.

Eiji Kikumaru, sitting on the umpire's chair, immediately became displeased.

"Hey! Atobe! Do you think we from Seigaku are easy to bully!?"

Seeing the situation turn sour, Shujiro Oishi quickly stepped in to play peacemaker.

"Eiji, don't get excited."

"Although Atobe's words were a bit radical, they are also the truth."

"Rikkai Dai's strength is indeed very powerful."

Seeing Shujiro Oishi speak up, Sadaharu Inui pushed up his glasses and quickly took over the conversation.

"Mm, Atobe's words were harsh, but bitter medicine cures the disease. We from Seigaku indeed shouldn't be overly arrogant."

You say one thing, I say another; Kamishiro Aki on the court could barely stand listening.

Immediately, he shook his custom racket in his hand and said to everyone.

"Everyone, be quiet. This is a match between me and Ryoma Echizen. Don't bring up Rikkai Dai."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

But then again, talking about Rikkai Dai right now was indeed a bit premature.

Seeing that everyone fell silent, Kamishiro Aki looked at Eiji Kikumaru on the umpire's chair and smiled.

"Senior Kikumaru, let's continue the match."

Seeing this, Eiji Kikumaru put aside his temper and shouted loudly.

"The match continues! The current score is 3:0! Kamishiro Aki from Hyotei is leading."

"The fourth game begins!"

"Kamishiro Aki will serve!"

When Eiji Kikumaru said this sentence, he only then realized that this was Kamishiro Aki's service game.

He couldn't help but glance at Ryoma Echizen.

Everyone else also couldn't help but look at Ryoma Echizen.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ryoma Echizen silently lowered his head and habitually pulled at his cap.

He understood what everyone meant.

This was Kamishiro Aki's service game, which meant Kamishiro Aki would use the Iron Block Serve again.

If Kamishiro Aki didn't make a fault on his serve, this would once again be a service game dominated by him.

So, Ryoma Echizen could only pray for Kamishiro Aki to fault on his serve.

But that was impossible.

At this moment, Kamishiro Aki served.

He tossed the tennis ball into the air, but this time he didn't jump; instead, he waited for the ball to fall.

This made everyone stunned for a moment.

Because this starting stance was not the starting stance of the Iron Block Serve!

It was the starting stance of the Finger Gun Serve!

When everyone thought this, the tennis ball fell directly.

Immediately after, Kamishiro Aki swung his racket fiercely at the tennis ball and shouted.

"Finger Gun Serve!"

"Boom!"

This made everyone feel surprised!

Kamishiro Aki could have used the Iron Block Serve to dominate the service game, but he instead executed the Finger Gun Serve!

Even Ryoma Echizen hadn't expected it.

Therefore, his reaction was half a beat slow.

In the next instant, the tennis ball landed heavily!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball flew right past Ryoma Echizen's side.

After the tennis ball landed, Momoshiro Eiji called out the score.

"15:0!"

Seeing Ryoma Echizen still looking dazed, Kamishiro Aki smiled.

"Ryoma, you're in no state to play against Rikkai!"

"You can't even return my Finger Gun Serve!"

Seeing this, Ryoma Echizen smiled, and the others smiled too.

Anyone could see that Kamishiro Aki was giving Ryoma Echizen a chance.

The Iron Ball Serve is an unsolvable serve; it's normal that Ryoma Echizen couldn't return it.

Now that Kamishiro Aki has voluntarily used the Finger Gun Serve, if he still can't return it, the fault lies with Ryoma Echizen himself.

How could Ryoma Echizen have thought of that?

'First Serve'

8 5 0 2

Nine Six Five Zero One

Seeing this, he immediately activated his single-foot shuffle and said to Kamishiro Aki with a smile.

"Kamishiro, then I will use my full strength to defeat you!"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki flicked his racket and smiled.

"Then let's see if you have the skill!"

After speaking, he tossed the tennis ball straight into the air!

The instant the ball fell, he swung his racket fiercely!

"Finger Gun Serve!"

"Bang!"

In the next instant, the tennis ball crossed the net instantly.

Ryoma Echizen stared fixedly at the tennis ball.

But he still felt this Finger Gun Serve was incredibly fast!

The ball speed must have reached two hundred kilometers per hour.

Ryoma Echizen rushed to the service court immediately; right after, the tennis ball landed instantly!

"Bang!"

The instant the tennis ball bounced up, Ryoma Echizen smiled.

"This is it!"

Immediately, he swung his racket fiercely!
