up his mind to train his stamina properly.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(That's all!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back to the present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Akutagawa Jiro was being pointed at by Echizen Ryoma's racket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll only know after we compete!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Akutagawa Jiro smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good momentum, it seems you shouldn't be weak either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's start!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he walked toward the middle of the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma also walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides shook hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While shaking hands, Echizen Ryoma asked again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why isn't Kamishiro Aki in this match?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Akutagawa Jiro scratched his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know either, the coach arranged it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Akutagawa Jiro was simple, he wasn't stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't fall for such an obvious fishing for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma had no choice but to return to the baseline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the umpire said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Singles 3 match officially begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first serve is by Seishun Academy's Echizen Ryoma!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma pinched his cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Akutagawa Jiro,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro just got into position and didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he felt that a first-year shouldn't be able to hit any good balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous matches, Seigaku always finished playing first and then came to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Akutagawa Jiro had no chance to see Echizen Ryoma's match at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he didn't know Echizen Ryoma's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even if he really went to watch the match, this guy Akutagawa Jiro would probably be sleeping anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Echizen Ryoma took the tennis ball thrown by the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He played with the tennis ball a little before tossing it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he jumped up and swung his racket rapidly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Kamishiro Aki noticed that this serve was a very ordinary serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Echizen Ryoma was left-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he used his full strength, he should be holding the racket with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Echizen Ryoma was holding the racket with his right hand now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he was testing Akutagawa Jiro's strength,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or he was looking down on Akutagawa Jiro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Kamishiro Aki felt it should be the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guy like Echizen Ryoma, who liked to show off, couldn't help but look down on his opponent and be arrogant at the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro returned this kind of ordinary serve very easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Echizen Ryoma didn't receive this ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body didn't move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tennis ball flew out, he tightened his cap again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of Akutagawa Jiro's return was very fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Echizen Ryoma really went to receive it, he might not have been able to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he simply didn't receive it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this game was a probing game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he thought it was fine to lose one or two points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The umpire called the score,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"15:0!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next three balls, Echizen Ryoma used ordinary serves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro hurriedly went to receive them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as they played, he also lost interest a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Echizen Ryoma was too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the tennis ball landed, the umpire hurriedly called the score.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"1:0!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akutagawa Jiro scores first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Change sides.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All taken by Akutagawa Jiro's fast counter-attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki didn't think Echizen Ryoma couldn't receive them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just deliberately didn't receive them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the early-stage Echizen Ryoma was still too conceited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just happened not to be Singles 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Kamishiro Aki would have taught him a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second game began, and it was Akutagawa Jiro's serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His balls were all ordinary serves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma was still holding the racket with his right hand at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like he still wanted to test the power of his right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Akutagawa Jiro wasn't that easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the current Echizen Ryoma didn't use his left hand, he definitely couldn't play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tennis ball landed, and Echizen Ryoma hurriedly chased after the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the ball speed was fast, he was just a little bit away from catching up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the umpire called the score,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"2:0!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akutagawa Jiro scores!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji said anxiously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the little guy doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why isn't he using his left hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, they couldn't help but look at Tezuka Kunimitsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu crossed his arms and said faintly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't look at me, focus on the match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Fuji Syusuke asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to ask, what are you left-handers thinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you all have to wait until the end to use your left hand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fuji Syusuke ask, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Akutagawa Jiro, who was almost falling asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know what Echizen is thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if it were me, I would use my right hand to probe in the first game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the second game, I would use my right hand to defend or attack with full strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I could win both games, I would still use my right hand in the third game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because for such an opponent, using the right hand is completely enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only in critical games would I use my left hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only can it catch the opponent off guard, but it can also unleash my true strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare to hear Tezuka Kunimitsu say so much at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they also understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like Echizen Ryoma was probably thinking the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Akutagawa Jiro still looked like he hadn't woken up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really couldn't raise any interest in the current Echizen Ryoma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third game began, and Akutagawa Jiro yawned and walked to the baseline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to take a nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, there were two more people behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't matter if he lost this match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Echizen Ryoma moved his racket to his left hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki shouted at Akutagawa Jiro,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiro! Wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opponent is about to serve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he heard Kamishiro Aki's voice, Akutagawa Jiro woke up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Echizen Ryoma served!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the tennis ball into the air and jumped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twist Serve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma was going to hit a Twist Serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Akutagawa Jiro was still in this sleepy state,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would definitely be hit in the face by the tennis ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kamishiro Aki didn't shout again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the umpire had already started paying attention to this side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he shouted again, he would be given a yellow card warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest was up to Akutagawa Jiro himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the tennis ball crossed the net rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro, who was already a bit awake, hurriedly went to receive the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tennis ball landed heavily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro hurriedly swung his racket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bounce angle of the tennis ball was different from an ordinary serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tennis ball flew straight toward Akutagawa Jiro's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Akutagawa Jiro woke up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body instinctively leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tennis ball flew high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Akutagawa Jiro woke up completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he suddenly looked excited!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he ran to Kamishiro Aki and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kamishiro!
