Chapter 52
At the same time, Kikumaru Eiji, who was watching from the waiting area, said quickly.
"Fuji was planning to use the Brown Bear Drop just now, right?"
"Why didn't it have any effect!?"
Inui Sadaharu also couldn't help but think.
It wasn't just them.
The Hyotei side was the same.
For example, Oshitari Yuushi.
He was also a genius player who could use the Brown Bear Drop.
Logically speaking, any smash could be neutralized by the Brown Bear Drop.
Even a ball with great force could be hit back.
It was just a matter of consuming a bit more stamina.
There had never been a smash that couldn't be returned with the Brown Bear Drop!
But now, one had appeared!
And it was Kamishiro Aki's smash at that!
Seeing this, although he still didn't understand why.
He couldn't help but feel admiration for Kamishiro Aki once again.
At this moment, Horio saw the dent on the ground from his angle.
Seeing this, he shouted.
"Look, everyone! Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Smash left a dent!"
This was said very loudly, and the whole audience heard it.
Everyone's gaze turned toward it.
When Inui Sadaharu saw the dent on the ground, he suddenly realized!
"So that's it!"
Hearing his words, everyone's gaze turned to him.
Seeing this, he pushed up his glasses and explained.
"I understand now."
"The smash Kamishiro hit exceeded the critical point that Fuji Shusuke could withstand."
"The so-called Brown Bear Drop uses the body's centrifugal force to convert the opponent's force into one's own force and return the tennis ball."
"Therefore, no matter how much force the opponent uses, it will be hit back by the Brown Bear Drop!"
"But there is a prerequisite for this: it must be within Fuji's force threshold."
"Once it exceeds this threshold, the ball cannot be hit back."
At this moment, Echizen Ryoma interrupted Inui Sadaharu's words.
"Inui-senpai, no need to make it so complicated."
"It's nothing more than Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Smash being too powerful."
"Fuji-senpai couldn't convert it into his own force, and that's why the racket slipped out of his control."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu let out a sinister laugh!
"Echizen! It seems the special vegetable juice I gave you has made you much smarter."
"You'll have to drink a lot more later!"
Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma immediately shut his mouth.
This was clearly targeting him.
However, Inui Sadaharu did indeed agree with Echizen Ryoma's words.
It wasn't that the Brown Bear Drop had failed.
It was that Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Smash was too strong.
It had been completely suppressed.
Regarding this matter, the person involved, Fuji Shusuke, had an even deeper insight.
It wasn't that he hadn't executed the Brown Bear Drop.
It was that there was too much force coming from the tennis ball.
Causing the racket to be unable to withstand this pressure and fly away.
If Fuji Shusuke had forced himself to hit this ball back.
He definitely would have been injured.
Seeing this, he looked at Kamishiro Aki again.
This was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered!
Even surpassing Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Kamishiro Aki didn't know what everyone was thinking.
He only knew that this shot was quite successful.
To think it was a ball that even Fuji Shusuke's Brown Bear Drop couldn't return.
Awesome.
However, he couldn't hit this kind of ball too often.
It consumed quite a bit of stamina.
After hitting two Iron Block serves, Kamishiro Aki clearly felt his stamina draining rapidly.
As expected, powerful shots were very stamina-consuming!
Immediately after, it was Fuji Shusuke's turn to serve again.
He still hit a low-altitude serve.
The low-altitude serve required precise ball control.
But it wouldn't consume much stamina.
This, on the contrary, would consume the opponent's stamina.
Therefore, even if it was broken, it could still be used.
"Bang!"
Low-altitude serve successful!
The tennis ball crossed the net quickly!
This ball landed precisely in the service area.
Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki quickly came over to receive the ball.
He still used the half-volley method to break and intercept it.
The moment the tennis ball bounced, he swung his racket violently to drive it!
"Bang!"
After crossing the net, the tennis ball dropped rapidly!
Seeing this, Fuji Shusuke secretly thought, "Oh no!"
"Bad! It's a backspin ball!"
In his urgency, he directly used one of the three great returns!
He was seen swinging his racket, hitting a slice from high to low!
"Bang!"
Seeing this, Horio shouted!
"It's here! Fuji-senpai's Swallow Return!"
The tennis ball crossed the net in an instant!
Kamishiro Aki was slightly stunned!
This ball was actually hit back!
He remembered that the principle of the Swallow Return was to use topspin, plus the rotational force of a slice to execute it!
His ball was a backspin ball!
However, there was no time to think about that.
Once this ball dropped, it would be impossible to receive.
Seeing this, he quickly used the Shave footwork to receive the ball.
Just as the tennis ball was about to drop, Kamishiro Aki successfully received the ball!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball was bounced over the net.
And at this time, Fuji Shusuke had already arrived at the net!
Immediately, he said to Kamishiro Aki.
"You were careless!"
Immediately after, Fuji Shusuke smashed the tennis ball that had just crossed the net!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball slammed heavily into the ground in an instant.
Seeing this, Fuji Shusuke smiled.
"It looks like I've taken this point."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fuji Shusuke saw the corners of Kamishiro Aki's mouth lift slightly.
Immediately after, Kamishiro Aki quickly chased after the tennis ball that was bouncing toward the sky.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt that it was impossible to receive.
Just at this moment, Kamishiro Aki's legs exploded with powerful force.
Immediately after, he leaped up!
His whole body left the ground by more than three meters!
(This can be referenced by the distance soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo's super-high jumping header leaves the ground.)
Everyone was stunned!
Is this still a first-year student!?
What amazing jumping ability!
It's too ridiculous!
Not only that, Kamishiro Aki had already started swinging his racket!
"Bang!"
"Moon-Treading Smash!"
The tennis ball was hit by the racket!
He caught it!?
And it was a smash!
Seeing this, Fuji Shusuke quickly moved to counter this ball!
"Bang!"
But the speed of this ball was extremely fast!
Fuji Shusuke hadn't even reacted before the tennis ball slammed into the ground.
As a result, he had no way to use the Brown Bear Drop to return it.
Without waiting for him to think too much.
The tennis ball was already flying toward the sky.
Fuji Shusuke quickly swung his racket!
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
But the force of Kamishiro Aki's smash was quite large!
Fuji Shusuke's racket was knocked away again!
Moreover, the speed of the tennis ball did not decrease.
It flew directly out of the protective net.
Watching the tennis ball fly away, the umpire quickly called the score.
"2:0!"
"Hyotei's Kamishiro Aki scores!"
Immediately, Kamishiro Aki landed.
He was seen saying to Fuji Shusuke.
"That move just now is called the Moon-Treading Smash!"
Fuji Shusuke was slightly stunned, and his expression began to become incomparably serious.
Because Kamishiro Aki was truly very strong!
At this moment, he very much wanted to defeat such a powerful opponent!
At this time, the Hyotei cheerleading squad shouted again!
"Hyotei! Hyotei!"
"Must win! Must win!"
"Kamishiro! Kamishiro!"
"Eternal glory!"
Hearing this shouting, Kikumaru Eiji fell into melancholy.
"No way, how is that first-year so strong!"
"Even Fuji is no match for him!"
"Two of the three great return shots have already been broken."
Seeing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu couldn't help but say.
"No need to worry."
"Fuji, he has a way to deal with it."
"Besides, it's windy today."
Tezuka Kunimitsu's words left Kikumaru Eiji very confused.
What does that have to do with anything?
Immediately, he remembered!
He was seen saying happily.
"Wind!?"
"Right! It's windy today!"
"That means Fuji will use that move!"
Seeing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded.
Seeing their conversation, Echizen Ryoma was confused.
What does that have to do with anything?
So what if it's windy?
Seeing Echizen Ryoma's confusion.
Kikumaru Eiji smiled.
"Little guy, you probably haven't seen it before."
"You'll know in a moment."
"Fuji will definitely use that move!"
Although he didn't understand, since he said so.
Echizen Ryoma could only watch on.
The break time was over.
The umpire shouted.
"Match continues!"
"Kamishiro Aki to serve!"
