Chapter 43

The tennis ball was hit over in an instant!

The speed was very fast!

Immediately after, the tennis ball landed heavily!

"Boom!"

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro hadn't reacted at all!

And at this time, the tennis ball had already bounced and flown out of the baseline.

Seeing this, the umpire hurriedly called the score.

"15:0!"

So fast!

This was the thought of Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro.

They knew Ohtori Chotaro's heavy serve was fast!

But they hadn't expected it to be this fast!

It was completely different from when watching from the outside court.

However, Ohtori Chotaro's heavy serve wasn't 100% accurate.

Out of four serves, one went out of bounds.

And it was a double fault.

The umpire called the score,

"Double fault!"

"40:15!"

Although it was a double fault,

Ohtori Chotaro had already won three points relying on this heavy serve.

Seeing this, Shishido Ryo laughed,

"It seems your ball control has improved a lot recently; to think three serves in a row were in the court."

Hearing this, Ohtori Chotaro smiled,

"This is all thanks to Kamishiro."

"Because his Finger Pistol serve let me know that my level was still too low."

Hearing this, Shishido Ryo paused and said,

"Ohtori, you're already great."

"That guy Kamishiro's Finger Pistol serve is too monstrous."

"If there's a chance, I must duel him once."

Ohtori Chotaro nodded.

Subsequently, he used the heavy serve again, "One-ball soul!"

This serve was successful!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball landed again at an astonishing speed.

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro were used to this ball speed.

But they just couldn't return it.

This made them very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Oishi Shuichiro said,

"Eiji, it's okay, we'll catch up in the second set."

Kikumaru Eiji nodded.

At this time, the umpire called the score.

"1:0!"

"Change sides."

Seeing this situation, Kamishiro Aki was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that in such a short time, Ohtori Chotaro's ball control technique could improve this much.

But what he didn't know was that this was all because of him.

Ohtori Chotaro was able to improve so fast precisely to catch up with Kamishiro Aki's footsteps.

The subsequent match had a feeling of being evenly matched.

Both sides were Golden Pairs.

Their chemistry went without saying.

They could probably even guess what kind of fart the other side was going to let out.

Now what they had to compete on was the degree of errors.

Whoever made more errors would easily fall into a disadvantage.

Must say, the cheering squad was still useful.

It caused a certain impact on Kikumaru Eiji.

When using the Australian formation, he was prone to distraction and being half a beat slow.

Let me briefly explain the Australian formation.

This formation refers to the two players standing almost in a straight line in front of and behind the net during their service game.

The two players must have full chemistry.

When the opponent receives the ball, they accurately judge the landing point and direction, and the two players shift positions rapidly.

One receives the ball, and the other moves to cover the empty court.

When proficient to a certain degree, it can reach a Golden Formation with no dead angles on the whole court.

But Kikumaru Eiji was affected by the outside of the court.

He was always a bit slow when going to receive the ball.

Therefore, he didn't receive the ball every time.

Gradually, he became a bit restless inside.

"Boom!"

When the tennis ball landed, the umpire called the score,

"3:2!"

"Hyotei is temporarily in the lead!"

Must say, the Golden Pair match was really good to watch.

Very intense.

Kamishiro Aki couldn't make a judgment on who would win or lose now.

Subsequently, this match lasted for nearly an hour!

The score reached 5:5!

Finally reached the set point game.

It looked like both sides had a chance.

But after a long match, Kikumaru Eiji's stamina was almost bottomed out.

And this time, the service right came to Ohtori Chotaro's service game again!

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro were already a bit desperate.

If it were about coordination and playstyle,

they definitely felt they were no weaker than Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Chotaro.

But if it were about serving,

then Ohtori Chotaro was a cut above!

Sure enough!

The final game was successfully taken by Ohtori Chotaro's heavy serve, "One-ball soul"!

"Boom!"

As the tennis ball landed heavily.

The umpire hurriedly called the score.

"6:5!"

"Match over!"

"Hyotei is temporarily in the lead!"

"Score 2:0!"

Hearing this, the Hyotei cheering squad shouted even louder.

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Victory! Victory!"

Shishido Ryo let out a sigh of relief, then smiled at Ohtori Chotaro,

"Ohtori! Well done!"

Ohtori Chotaro was already exhausted at this moment.

He just smiled and didn't speak.

The heavy serve just now actually couldn't reach the regular ball speed of 190 kilometers per hour.

It couldn't even reach 180 kilometers per hour.

But the opponent's stamina was also bottomed out.

Therefore, he luckily won the entire service game.

After catching his breath, Ohtori Chotaro looked at Kamishiro Aki.

If only he had the inexhaustible stamina of Kamishiro Aki.

Kamishiro Aki didn't know what he was thinking.

Kamishiro Aki only knew that he was tired from watching.

He hadn't expected these four to play for so long.

It was already noon.

Subsequently, the organizing committee let the match enter halftime.

After the players finished eating,

the Singles 3 match began.

Originally, this match was Kamishiro Aki's match.

Kamishiro Aki sighed.

It looked like Hyotei was going to win.

And he wouldn't have a chance to play.

Fortunately, there were two points guaranteed.

Otherwise, he would be really unhappy.

Of course, he still had to keep watching.

He still had a possibility of playing.

Hyotei's Singles 3 was Akutagawa Jiro.

And Seigaku's Singles 3 was Echizen Ryoma.

When Echizen Ryoma discovered that the opponent wasn't Kamishiro Aki,

he was a bit bewildered!

Wasn't it agreed that it was Singles 3?

Why didn't Kamishiro Aki play!

When he watched the matches before, Kamishiro Aki was always in the Singles 3 match.

He thought it was the same this time.

As it turned out, it wasn't.

What a pity.

Also feeling it was a pity was Akutagawa Jiro.

He muttered,

"Why send a first-year to play against me."

Echizen Ryoma heard it.

His expression changed.

He swung his racket and pointed at Akutagawa Jiro, saying,

"You on the other side!"

"Don't talk to yourself, you'll only know after we compete!"
