Chapter 444

Fuji Syusuke still intended to deliberately create a lob to force Atobe Keigo into hitting a smash.

As long as it was a smash, he had a certain confidence he could use the Grizzly Drop Net.

Thinking this, he immediately acted.

After the tennis ball bounced upon hitting the ground, Fuji Syusuke hit his unique lob again.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball soared high over the net.

But this time, Atobe Keigo did not go to hit a smash.

Instead, he patiently waited for the tennis ball to strike the ground.

"Boom!"

When the tennis ball struck the ground and bounced up.

Atobe Keigo swung his racket again to strike the tennis ball.

"Boom!"

It was another very ordinary return!

The spin was canceled out again.

Seeing this, Fuji Syusuke frowned slightly.

Atobe Keigo actually refused to return his ball.

This made things difficult for him all over again.

He could not play a long rally; his stamina could not withstand the drain.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball fell, and Fuji Syusuke hit a short ball, which he rarely played.

"Bang!"

Seeing this, the entire audience was shocked!

"Fuji actually played a drop shot?"

The Seigaku crowd had not expected it either.

Atobe Keigo was also slightly stunned.

But he still reacted, rushing to run toward the net.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball had already hit the ground, and Atobe Keigo immediately dove out.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball was successfully returned.

The tennis ball was seen bouncing lightly, touching the net, and landing on Fuji Syusuke's court.

Fuji Syusuke wanted to make a return, but the force Atobe Keigo hit with was simply too light.

Causing the tennis ball to lack power; upon the second bounce, it only rose slightly.

"Bang!"

On the second bounce of the tennis ball, Fuji Syusuke did not return the ball.

Seeing this, the referee immediately called the score.

"0:1!"

"Ice Academy takes this game!"

"The second match begins!"

"Fuji Syusuke's service game!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment; Fuji Syusuke actually did not return this ball.

If it were Tezuka Kunimitsu, this ball would definitely have been returned.

"Fuji... did he make a mistake?"

At this moment, Kikumaru Eiji asked.

Upon hearing this question, Qian Zhenzhi adjusted his glasses and presented his analysis.

"No, Fuji himself is not good at playing drop shots."

"Atobe wanted to continue the long rally, but Fuji saw through it, so he deliberately played a drop shot to catch Atobe off guard."

"But he did not expect Atobe's reaction to be so fast."

Hearing this analysis, Kikumaru Eiji understood.

And at this time, Echizen Ryoma arrived at the scene.

Because the situation was different, unlike in the anime.

This time, it was actually Arakawa of Yamabuki Middle School who brought him back.

Not only Arakawa Jin, but also Sanada Genichiro.

No wonder, when the match started, Sanada Genichiro was not seen...

It turns out he went to be a babysitter.

The Seigaku crowd saw that Echizen Ryoma had finally arrived and all rushed to greet him.

"Echizen, you finally came!"

"Shorty, you are late again!"

The crowd wanted to greet him and joke around as usual.

But Echizen Ryoma dodged directly, speaking with a clear, innocent, and silly look in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

What's going on?!

"Little one, stop joking; today is the finals."

"You've already missed one match."

"Let me tell you, Captain Tezuka's match against Kamishiro was absolutely spectacular!"

"Although Captain Tezuka lost, we still witnessed Kamishiro Aki's true strength!"

"His strength has already reached the level of a semi-professional."

Inumaki Eiji's mouth fired off a barrage of words like a machine gun.

This made Echizen Ryoma even more puzzled.

"Tezuka... Kamishiro... who are they?"

Inumaki Eiji wanted to say more but was immediately silenced.

Then he used the back of his hand to feel Echizen Ryoma's forehead.

"Little one, are you okay?"

"Don't scare me!"

Echizen Ryoma said with a slight anger.

"Big brother, can you stop calling me 'little one'? Even though I'm short, I'll grow taller later."

That tone...

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

Is this really Echizen Ryoma?

Where did that arrogant feeling from before go?

Afterwards, the entire Seigaku group turned to look at Aguri Jin 0.2 and said in unison.

"Little one, did he hit you!"

To this, Aguri Jin made a scoffing sound.

"If I had hit him, he wouldn't be lying here; he'd be lying in a hospital."

At this moment, Sanada Genichiro said with a serious expression.

"Echizen has... lost his memory."

Lost his memory?!

"And it's severe; he only recognizes his family. Besides that, he remembers nothing else."

"Not just you and me, but even that he knows how to play tennis."
