Chapter 34
However, the ball speed of Kamishiro Aki’s Lightning Serve was just as fast!
Keigo Atobe sighed from the sidelines.
“Kamishiro Aki, just how many trump cards do you still have hidden away?”
“It’s truly something to look forward to.”
At this moment, the umpire returned.
He announced:
“The result is valid! Point to Kamishiro Aki!”
“40:0!” ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
Although everyone knew this would be the result.
They still found it shocking.
Who would have thought such a ball could be seen in a middle school match?
Fortunately, the league had prepared high-speed cameras in advance.
Otherwise, this ball would have been truly difficult to judge.
Subsequently, the umpire signaled for the match to continue.
Seeing this, Jin Akutsu caught the tennis ball thrown by a staff member.
Immediately after, he served without a word!
“Bang!”
Another serve with immense destructive power.
Seeing this, Ganya Bandai muttered to himself.
“It seems Akutsu is starting to get serious.”
“Akutsu, can you win? I’m very much looking forward to it!”
He had sought out Jin Akutsu in the first place because he valued his excellent athletic cells.
At the same time, he knew Jin Akutsu was different from others.
He was the type who was difficult to discipline.
Jin Akutsu had even hit Ganya Bandai several times when he lost interest.
But Ganya Bandai never gave up.
Because he knew that although this card, Jin Akutsu, was hard to control.
If Jin Akutsu became interested in tennis because of this.
Then he would become Yamabuki Middle School’s greatest trump card.
Of course, these were just Ganya Bandai’s visions.
How the situation would develop remained to be seen after this match.
Winning or losing was not the point; Ganya Bandai no longer considered that the primary goal.
He wanted to figure out Jin Akutsu’s view on tennis.
At this moment, the ball had already crossed the net.
Jin Akutsu had never been this serious; he stared fixedly at Kamishiro Aki’s movements.
Because he felt Kamishiro Aki would use the Lightning Serve again.
But he did not.
Kamishiro Aki simply hit a basic return shot.
Seeing this, Jin Akutsu was somewhat surprised.
He didn’t understand why Kamishiro Aki stopped using the Lightning Serve.
At this moment, the ball landed.
Jin Akutsu rushed to receive it.
Just as his racket was about to touch the ball, the ball suddenly twisted like paper.
And immediately evaded his racket!
“Bang!”
After the ball landed, the umpire immediately called the score.
“1:0!”
“Change sides!”
This was the Paper Drawing Serve!
Jin Akutsu had heard of it.
But he had never seen it.
Now, it was his first time seeing it.
It was exactly the same as a normal ball!
He had just carefully and seriously watched Kamishiro Aki’s movements.
He had assumed it was just a normal return.
Seeing this, Jin Akutsu became even more interested.
He suddenly started laughing.
“Hahaha!”
“Tennis is really interesting. Kamishiro Aki, it seems I underestimated you!”
Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki was somewhat surprised.
A person like Jin Akutsu would actually take the initiative to show weakness?
That was truly strange.
Could he have been subdued by his own Thunder Breathing, First Form: Lightning Serve?
When changing sides, the two passed each other.
Jin Akutsu widened his eyes and laughed.
“Next game, I’ll show you what real athletic cells are!”
“At the same time, I will also crack your Lightning Serve and Paper Drawing Serve!”
To this, Kamishiro Aki did not speak.
He just smiled.
Kamishiro Aki could understand cracking his Paper Drawing Serve.
But as for cracking his Lightning Serve.
Kamishiro Aki felt it was impossible for Jin Akutsu.
That previous ball was only the first ball of actual combat.
Which was also the worst ball.
If Kamishiro Aki used the Lightning Serve later, it wouldn’t just be about fast movements.
He would also increase the ball speed.
Only then would the Lightning Serve be truly complete.
Of course, how could Jin Akutsu know what Kamishiro Aki was thinking.
He twisted his waist and then stretched his body.
Because he had underestimated Kamishiro Aki, he hadn’t warmed up before the match.
The running just now counted as his warm-up.
Only now was he beginning to enter his state.
Subsequently, the break ended, and the umpire said.
“Match continues!”
“Kamishiro Aki from Hyotei Academy to serve!”
The Seigaku group watching the match quickly stared at Kamishiro Aki’s movements.
This was Kamishiro Aki’s service game.
Whenever it was his service game, the Finger Pistol Serve would definitely appear. ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
Therefore, this was the best time for them, Seigaku, to observe the Finger Pistol Serve.
Shusuke Fuji even opened his eyes to observe.
Moreover, they were once again outside the protective net opposite Kamishiro Aki.
This was Sadaharu Inui’s suggestion.
When he knew the first game was Jin Akutsu’s serve, he suggested going to the opposite side of Jin Akutsu.
It seemed like he was observing Jin Akutsu.
But in reality, he was observing Kamishiro Aki’s Finger Pistol Serve!
Kamishiro Aki couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched them being so serious.
Although he was already used to so many people watching.
After all, the Hyotei cheering squad had hundreds of people.
But being stared at by that group from Seigaku still felt a bit strange.
Kamishiro Aki adjusted slightly.
Immediately, he tossed the tennis ball up!
Then he leaped up and swung his racket heavily at the same time!
“Bang!”
“Finger Pistol Serve!”
The ball crossed the net in an instant and landed in a flash!
“Bang!”
Only when the ball landed did Jin Akutsu react!
This ball was so fast!
It didn’t give him time to think.
Jin Akutsu’s body moved instinctively.
The ball bounced to a height almost above his head before Jin Akutsu arrived.
An average person would not have been able to receive this ball.
At this moment, Jin Akutsu was seen rushing directly outside the baseline!
Then he made a sharp turn and jumped suddenly.
Racket held high!
And the racket just happened to touch the ball.
Seeing this, he slammed the ball back!
“Bang!”
But at this time, Kamishiro Aki had already been waiting at the net for a long time.
Jin Akutsu thought to himself, “Not good!”
Landing on the ground, he ran straight toward the net!
At this moment, the ball had already crossed the net, and Kamishiro Aki glanced toward the diagonal.
Jin Akutsu’s keen observation immediately noticed it.
He slammed on the brakes and, the moment Kamishiro Aki hit the ball, he ran toward the diagonal area!
“Bang!”
After Kamishiro Aki swung his racket, he saw Jin Akutsu was already heading to the landing spot.
And at this moment, Kamishiro Aki smiled.
Then, he controlled the force of his racket.
The racket just lightly tapped the ball.
The ball gently crossed the net.
The moment the ball crossed the net, Jin Akutsu knew he had been tricked!
He rushed toward the net.
His whole body lunged forward, and his racket reached out.
The ball successfully touched the racket and bounced up.
But this ball did not cross the net.
Seeing this, the umpire immediately called the score.
“15:0!” ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
