"Ice World!"

"Let me see your blind spot!"

In the next instant, ice pillars appeared again around Fuji Syusuke, falling from the sky.

Finally, only two ice pillars remained unbroken.

Atobe Keigo smiled.

I didn't expect to find Fuji Syusuke's blind spot.

Seeing this, he swung his racket without hesitation!

"Boom!"

The racket smashed hard into the tennis ball.

The tennis ball instantly reached the corner of the baseline on Fuji Syusuke's right side.

"Boom!"

Only when the ball struck there did Fuji Syusuke react.

He ran back in time.

But the ball speed was too fast; he didn't make it.

The tennis ball flew over the baseline and landed on the ground.

Seeing this, the referee quickly called out the score.

"0:15!"

Fuji Syusuke's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He had just realized Atobe Keigo might hit the right side.

But his footwork had been moving toward the left.

When switching, he still wasn't fast enough.

However, he felt he should be able to return Atobe Keigo's next tennis ball.

Afterwards, Atobe Keigo served again.

Before serving, his gaze lingered on Fuji Syusuke for a few more seconds.

Immediately after, he quickly tossed the ball, jumped, and swung his racket to serve.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball struck Fuji Syusuke's service area rapidly.

"Boom!"

As the tennis ball bounced up, Fuji Syusuke immediately returned it.

"Boom!"

This return was quite powerful; the ball speed was even faster than before!

The spin force also doubled compared to the previous return.

The tennis ball flew over the net and smashed hard onto the court.

"Boom!"

But as the tennis ball bounced up, Atobe Keigo immediately realized this ball's spin force was stronger than before.

However, it was still returnable.

At this moment, he activated Ice World again to observe Fuji Syusuke's current blind spot position.

In that instant, only one ice pillar appeared near Fuji Syusuke's left foot.

As long as he hit that position precisely, Fuji Syusuke would be unable to return it.

Even if he wanted to, his body's limitations would prevent him from moving.

After locking onto the position, Atobe Keigo immediately swung his racket!

"Boom!"

The tennis ball instantly headed toward the position he had locked onto.

All eyes in the arena focused on this tennis ball.

They saw the tennis ball lightly brush against the net as it flew over.

But unless one looked closely, it wouldn't be noticeable.

And it was just this slight brush that weakened the tennis ball's spin force a little.

"Boom!"

The tennis ball did not land on the position Atobe Keigo had preset.

Instead, it struck Fuji Syusuke's racket.

At this moment, Atobe Keigo realized Fuji Syusuke hadn't moved at all.

He had merely extended his racket forward by half a racket's length.

Yet the tennis ball struck the racket perfectly.

At first glance, it seemed like a coincidence, but Atobe Keigo could tell from Fuji Syusuke's expression.

This was not a coincidence!

It was carefully designed by Fuji Syusuke!

"Boom!"

After striking the racket, the tennis ball became a short ball.

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo rushed to the net to save the ball.

"Boom!"

Before the tennis ball fell, he managed to catch up.

He dove straight forward, extending his racket, and the racket successfully made contact with the tennis ball.

"Bang!"

The tennis ball bounced up lightly, clearing the net by exactly the distance of three tennis balls.

At that moment, Fuji Shusuke suddenly appeared at the net.

He was seen swinging his racket to aim directly at the tennis ball and smashing it!

The tennis ball slammed hard onto the baseline position behind Atobe Keigo.

Atobe Keigo had not even stood up yet, so naturally, he could not return it.

Only when the Tennis Ball Out of Bounds occurred did the referee announce the score.

"15:15!"

Seeing this, Fuji Shusuke squinted and smiled at Atobe Keigo.

"This is called the Ice-Breaking Smash."

The voice was not loud, but the entire arena heard it!

Good heavens!

What an Ice-Breaking Smash!

The name speaks for itself.

The appearance of the Ice-Breaking Smash meant that Fuji Shusuke had cracked Atobe Keigo's Ice World!

Instantly, the side of the arena supporting Fuji Shusuke erupted in a massive roar!

"Fuji is so strong!"

"So awesome!"

"As expected of the genius Fuji!"

"Fuji, Fuji, the genius Fuji!"

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo merely smiled slightly.

"Fuji, this match has only just begun."

"Moreover, I, the great one, am still leading you by two games."

"Your Ice-Breaking Smash won't last until the end of the match, will it?"

"Fuji, the return shot you just made must have put a huge burden on your arm, right? Huh?"

Upon hearing these words, Fuji Shusuke's pupils contracted slightly.

Clearly, Atobe Keigo had seen through him.
