Chapter 422: Shadows Do Not Lie?

Demi-God Severance?!

What move is this? I've never heard of it.

Another new move by Kamishiro Aki?

Before anyone could think much more, Tennis Already arrived on Tezuka Kunimitsu's court.

"Boom!"

The instant the tennis ball struck the ground, a miraculous scene occurred!

The tennis ball suddenly vanished!

As if it had never existed at all.

Tezuka Kunimitsu quickly looked down at the ground.

"Tennis balls do not vanish; no matter how they move, shadows do not lie."

And the next second, he froze!

The shadow on the ground had disappeared!

"How is this possible?"

Immediately after, Tezuka Kunimitsu heard the sound of the tennis ball whistling past him.

He instantly realized the tennis ball had not truly vanished.

Rather, Kamishiro Aki had used some sort of illusion to make the tennis ball's shadow disappear as well.

Because he had imparted a subtle spin to this shot, the tennis ball was being drawn toward his Tezuka Zone.

But no matter how Tezuka Kunimitsu observed, he could not find where the tennis ball was.

And the next instant, the whistling sound of the tennis ball ceased.

Immediately after, he heard the sound of the tennis ball hitting the ground.

"28 Boom!"

The sound came from behind him.

Tezuka Kunimitsu quickly turned to look.

He saw the tennis ball lying quietly not far from the baseline.

This distance made it seem as though the tennis ball had been drawn by his Tezuka Zone and quietly fallen there.

Seeing the tennis ball appear behind Tezuka Kunimitsu, everyone was stunned!

They had no idea what had happened.

Not to mention them; even Tezuka Kunimitsu did not know what had happened.

Seeing this, the referee paused for a moment before calling out the score.

"15:0!"

At that moment, Kikumaru Eiji shouted to everyone with a shocked expression.

"Did you just see that?"

"The tennis ball vanished! You couldn't even see its shadow!"

Upon hearing this, Taocheng was the first to question it.

"Impossible, right? How could a shadow possibly vanish?"

The moment his words fell, Kikumaru Eiji immediately stepped up to Taocheng.

"A-Tao! You dare question my eyes?!"

"I have the best dynamic vision in all of Seishun Academy!"

"If you still don't believe me, ask the Lilliput!"

Taocheng was directly scared back.

Deep down, he also began to believe what Kikumaru Eiji said.

Afterwards, he turned to look at Echizen Ryoma.

But he discovered that Echizen Ryoma was not there.

Only then did they remember that Echizen Ryoma was still on his way.

"Forgot the Lilliput hasn't arrived yet."

"But my eyes do not lie; the shadow definitely vanished!"

Kikumaru Eiji stated with absolute conviction.

Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and echoed Kikumaru Eiji's words.

"Kikumaru is not wrong; the tennis ball's shadow did vanish in an instant."

"That is why Tezuka failed to grasp the tennis ball's movement in time."

Hearing Inui Sadaharu's explanation, Taocheng nodded as if he understood, though he did not quite.

Afterwards, he asked.

"Then how did Kamishiro make the tennis ball's shadow vanish?"

No one answered, because they did not know how the tennis ball had vanished either.

Although they did not know how Kamishiro Aki had done it.
