Chapter 37: Ganya Bandai

Sadaharu Inui paused slightly and said.

“Our eyes have already become accustomed to Kamishiro Aki’s Finger Pistol Serve.”

“So there will be fatigue.”

“No, to be precise, it should be a kind of cognitive inertia.”

“We subconsciously think that Kamishiro Aki’s next ball will also be a Finger Pistol Serve.”

“As a result, he hit an Iron Block Serve.”

“I think Jin Akutsu is the same as us.”

“They all feel this ball is very slow and should be a normal serve.”

“But this is a misconception!”

“Actually, Kamishiro Aki’s Iron Block Serve is not slow at all!”

“It’s even much faster than the normal version of the Finger Pistol Serve.”

After saying so much in one breath, Sadaharu Inui pushed his glasses, relaxed slightly, and said again.

“But Jin Akutsu will feel this ball is very ordinary, so he used relative force to receive the ball.”

“When he discovered this ball was an Iron Block Serve, it was already too late.”

Hearing this analysis, everyone nodded in recognition.

But Eiji Kikumaru still had questions.

“That’s not right, Inui, you said so much, but you still haven’t hit the point.”

“I was asking whether Kamishiro Aki’s Iron Block Serve is stronger or Kawamura’s Burning Serve is stronger.”

“Why have you been explaining the reason why that guy Akutsu couldn’t receive the Iron Block Serve?”

Hearing this, Ryoma Echizen couldn’t help but say.

“Kikumaru-senpai, you really are slow.”

“Inui-senpai just said that this Iron Block Serve is faster than the normal Finger Pistol Serve.”

“If that’s the case, the Iron Block Serve has both speed and power, so it must be stronger than Kawamura-senpai’s Burning Serve!”

Hearing this, Sadaharu Inui couldn’t help but nod.

That was exactly what he meant.

Others also nodded.

Seeing this, Eiji Kikumaru felt somewhat embarrassed.

Was he the only one who didn’t react?

No, he must find someone to be a cushion.

Then, he cast his gaze toward Shuichiro Oishi on the side.

He asked Shuichiro Oishi.

“Oishi, you didn’t understand just now either, right?”

Seeing this, Shuichiro Oishi shook his head and said.

“No, I saw it from the beginning, although I feel a bit sorry for Kawamura.” ===== CHAPTER 91 =====

Hearing this, Eiji Kikumaru shouted helplessly.

“Oishi!”

Shuichiro Oishi looked confused; did he say something wrong?

At this moment, Eiji Kikumaru looked toward Takashi Kawamura again.

Without waiting for him to ask, Takashi Kawamura answered him directly.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, it seems the Iron Block Serve is indeed a bit stronger than my Burning Serve.”

To this, Eiji Kikumaru didn’t quite agree.

He quickly handed the racket to Takashi Kawamura.

The next instant, Takashi Kawamura became a different person.

“Party time!”

“Come on! Come on!”

“What garbage Iron Block Serve! My Burning Serve is definitely stronger!”

Seeing this, Eiji Kikumaru was very happy.

But everyone else felt helpless.

Kamishiro Aki heard the noise over there.

However, he didn’t hear clearly what they were discussing.

Even with the physical enhancement of the Six Powers, his hearing wasn’t exaggerated enough to hear sounds from that far away.

Now it was break time.

He actually felt it was okay.

He had sweated a little.

His stamina had only been consumed by about ten percent.

Playing the whole match with full strength would definitely be no problem.

But the situation on Jin Akutsu’s side didn’t seem to be like this.

Although the first game was a warm-up and didn’t consume much stamina.

But in the second game’s confrontation.

Jin Akutsu received the ball using his instincts.

The consumption of stamina must have been much more than Kamishiro Aki’s.

Then, he took a big gulp of mineral water.

At this moment, Yamabuki Middle School’s coach, Ganya Bandai, came over and asked.

“How is it? Akutsu.”

“Is tennis interesting?”

Hearing this question, Jin Akutsu threw the unfinished water bottle onto the ground.

The water in the bottle flowed out instantly.

Then, he glared at Ganya Bandai and shouted.

“Stinky old man! Don’t bother me! You want to suffer again, right? Huh!?”

Hearing his roar, Ganya Bandai was already used to it.

He even sat down beside Jin Akutsu.

Then he said with a smile.

“Kamishiro Aki is very strong, isn’t he.”

“If you want to defeat him, relying only on your physical fitness is definitely not enough.”

“Do you want to hear my suggestion?”

After he finished asking, Jin Akutsu didn’t speak.

Seeing this, Ganya Bandai smiled.

This meant Jin Akutsu agreed.

Then, he began to speak.

Seeing that Ganya Bandai had already started coaching Jin Akutsu.

Kamishiro Aki drank some mineral water.

At this moment, Taro Sakaki walked over.

But he didn’t come over to coach like Ganya Bandai.

Instead, he said to Kamishiro Aki.

“Kamishiro, well played!”

“But I have a question to ask you.”

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki nodded and replied.

“Coach, please ask.”

Taro Sakaki sat down and asked.

“I saw you had a serve just now, and the jump height was very high.”

“Why is that?”

Kamishiro Aki didn’t expect Taro Sakaki to ask this question.

Indeed, one shouldn’t jump very high when serving.

Because that would give the opponent more reaction time.

But if one wanted to use the MAX version of the Finger Pistol Serve, it had to be that high.

Kamishiro Aki had experimented.

The ball speed of the full-strength Finger Pistol Serve hit with a normal jump was 240 kilometers per hour.

And the ball speed of the full-strength Finger Pistol Serve hit with a super jump was 242 kilometers per hour!

The racket swung with the sharp downward force of the body was more powerful than a normal serve.

Although it only increased the speed by 2 kilometers per hour, an average person couldn’t react to it.

But who knew Jin Akutsu would receive his serve like a wild beast.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Aki explained it to Taro Sakaki exactly as it was.

After getting this explanation, Taro Sakaki also had new insights into the serve.

And at this moment, the break time was over.

The umpire quickly shouted.

“Break over, match continues!”

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki returned to the baseline.

At the same time, Jin Akutsu also returned to the court.

Kamishiro Aki noticed that Jin Akutsu’s eyes were different!

Compared to before, he was now more like a wolf!

It was the look of someone staring at prey!

The umpire shouted.

“Singles 3, third game of the match begins!”

“Jin Akutsu from Yamabuki Middle School to serve!” ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
