instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone thought Kamishiro Aki wouldn’t be able to receive it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki was seen jumping up suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they seemed to see Kamishiro Aki step on the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki went a bit higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he swung his racket violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shouted loudly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moon-Stepping Smash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball slammed into Jin Akutsu’s baseline at a very astonishing speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball flew directly outside the protective net!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Akutsu still wanted to chase the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t catch up to this ball at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the umpire immediately called the score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“40:15!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another point won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he was going to lose this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that Jin Akutsu was still very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was actually able to play to this extent with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki wouldn’t underestimate Jin Akutsu anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Kamishiro Aki started to get serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Akutsu’s wild beast playing style was completely impossible to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the next ball was won by Kamishiro Aki again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ball landed heavily behind Jin Akutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The umpire called the score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“3:0!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Change sides!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the break, Jin Akutsu was already panting heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had been chasing the ball desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he couldn’t catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still kept chasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was playing tennis entirely based on speed and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ganya Bandai also gave up providing suggestions to Jin Akutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he didn’t want Jin Akutsu to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that would have the opposite effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now for this match, he no longer cared about winning or losing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Jin Akutsu was interested in tennis, then this match was a victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Break over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Akutsu and Kamishiro Aki returned to the court again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This game was Kamishiro Aki’s service game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki naturally used the Finger Pistol Serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time Kamishiro Aki used Thunder Breathing when serving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball speed directly exceeded 245 kilometers per hour!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Akutsu couldn’t receive it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still didn’t give up, chasing the ball very desperately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell many times during the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still couldn’t receive Kamishiro Aki’s Finger Pistol Serve combined with Thunder Breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kamishiro Aki had gains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Thunder Breathing with the Finger Pistol Serve was just a whim he had just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because it was his first time using it, he was still a bit unfamiliar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he practiced more, he would definitely be able to increase the serve speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki won the fourth game directly with the Thunder Breathing version of the Finger Pistol Serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The umpire was seen shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“4:0!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the break, Jin Akutsu was sweating profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was panting non-stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison, Kamishiro Aki wasn’t as bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he also consumed a lot of stamina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t panting like Jin Akutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the fifth game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Akutsu’s stamina could no longer keep up with Kamishiro Aki’s ball speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Kamishiro Aki won the fifth game easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth game was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the last tennis ball landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the umpire quickly called the score!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“6:0!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Match over!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This match is won by Kamishiro Aki!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The match between Yamabuki Middle School and Hyotei Academy ends here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The final score is 3:0!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hyotei Academy wins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki let out a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was finally over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected playing against Akutsu Jin to be so exhausting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That guy chased after the tennis ball as if his life depended on it, just to win the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a wild beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could properly practice tennis technique,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was truly possible he might have defeated Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment, Akutsu Jin was still sprawled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, in order to reach that final ball,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he had completely disregarded his own safety, throwing his body hard onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki still respected this kind of fearless spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because if it were him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if a ball were truly impossible to reach, he would let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki looked at the prone Akutsu Jin and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're very impressive; to be able to play like this after only having been in contact with the sport for a week.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In our next duel, I hope you won't get bageled by me again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kamishiro Aki's words were sharp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this was indeed a way to encourage Akutsu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after losing his match against Echizen Ryoma, he had left the Yamabuki Middle School tennis club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Kamishiro Aki saying this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin actually didn't want to leave the Yamabuki tennis club anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to practice tennis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to beat Kamishiro Aki!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared viciously at Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he struggled to climb to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted the dirt off his body and then, with a wicked grin, said to Kamishiro Aki,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat! Your tongue is truly venomous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really want to punch you in the face to vent the anger in my heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin's words made the umpire swallow hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing that Akutsu Jin made no further moves, he didn't say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki knew Akutsu Jin wouldn't actually do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if he did, he couldn't beat Kamishiro Aki anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the players from both sides went onto the court for a friendly handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin and Kamishiro Aki had the most \"friendly and kind\" handshake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very kind; both of them were putting in effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Akutsu Jin's face turned purple from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bandai Ganya thought it was just from Akutsu Jin's fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides left the court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Sengoku Kiyosumi of Yamabuki sighed and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, looks like today wasn't my lucky day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't get to hit a single ball, unlucky Sengoku!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After self-deprecatingly saying this, he glanced at Kamishiro Aki's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just him; the Seigaku cheering squad was also watching Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This match had left a deep impression on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inui Sadaharu had thought Akutsu Jin would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected Kamishiro Aki to win instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was an absolute blowout of 6:0.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuji Syusuke was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also previously thought Akutsu Jin would win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, he couldn't help but say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we absolutely cannot underestimate Kamishiro Aki as an opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His stamina is bottomless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Inui Sadaharu couldn't help but nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he pushed up his glasses and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looked like Akutsu was constantly chasing the ball and consuming stamina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in reality, Kamishiro Aki returning those power shots from Akutsu was just as stamina-consuming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet even so, Kamishiro Aki still looked very relaxed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His data is terrifyingly high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he paused slightly, then looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among them, several data points have already surpassed Tezuka.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kikumaru Eiji was very curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to come over and sneak a peek at Inui Sadaharu's notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was filled with dense data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even deduced Kamishiro Aki's serve speed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he couldn't help but read it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Approximately 240 kilometers per hour!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this number, everyone was shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This serve speed had already reached a professional level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they also had to marvel at Akutsu Jin's astonishing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think he was actually able to return a Finger Pistol serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were marveling, Inui Sadaharu silently closed his notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Captain Tezuka could play against Kamishiro Aki, I should be able to get the data I want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm really looking forward to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words also caused everyone to nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also really wanted to see the battle between Kamishiro Aki and Tezuka Kunimitsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention them being expectant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tezuka Kunimitsu himself was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't know if he could beat Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he was no longer at his peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seigaku was still discussing Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kamishiro Aki was completely unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already on the shuttle bus back to Hyotei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he received a system notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host!
