smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am no longer the person I was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I will play this match seriously and beat you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Echizen Ryoma recover his state, the Seigaku crowd felt happy for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ryuzaki Sumire also smiled with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kikumaru Eiji hurriedly came over and pressed Echizen Ryoma's head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Little one, it's great that you've recovered your state!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You have to play well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although it's just a friendly match, you can't lose to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was already used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterward, the match between Echizen Ryoma and Kamishiro Aki officially began!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although it was a friendly match, Echizen Ryoma was incredibly serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had talked to his father, Echizen Nanjiro, once before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wanting to win wasn't just about pursuing victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But about understanding why one plays tennis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only by figuring this out could one enter a brand-new realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma had been looking for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His mindset was now different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if he suffered a setback, he would accept it bravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Holding this attitude, Echizen Ryoma stepped onto the court to face Kamishiro Aki with his racket.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This match was refereed by Kikumaru Eiji.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because his dynamic vision was the best in Seigaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Originally, they wanted Atobe Keigo to be the referee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Lord Atobe wanted to sit under the parasol to watch the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Kamishiro Aki had a choice, he would also want to sit under the parasol to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because it was really quite hot today.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kikumaru Eiji shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then the friendly match, Seigaku first-year Echizen Ryoma vs. Hyotei first-year Kamishiro Aki, officially begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This time, we will follow international standards to toss a coin to choose sides and serve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, the two came to the middle of the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kikumaru Eiji was in charge of hosting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tossing a coin to choose sides and serve was an international standard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Previous tournaments and the current Kanto Tournament hadn't used this method.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But once they entered the national tournament, this method was used.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They needed to adapt to it in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji asked Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heads or tails?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'll choose tails this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He tossed the coin into the air and slapped it with his palm the moment it fell!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When his palm opened, the coin showed a head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Which was heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji's mouth curled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, he asked Echizen Ryoma.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Little one, do you want to choose to serve or choose sides?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Senior Kikumaru, I told you not to call me little one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I choose to serve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji tossed the tennis ball to Echizen Ryoma and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Okay, little one, catch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma felt helpless, then caught the tennis ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kamishiro Aki asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh, you're serving, it won't be a Twist Serve again, will it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Telling you in advance, the Twist Serve is already useless against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You should change to another serve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Echizen Ryoma was stunned for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because he really hadn't invented any powerful serves yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The only one he knew was the Twist Serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, his personality wouldn't let him listen to Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The more you said that, the more he wanted to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sure enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Kamishiro Aki saw Echizen Ryoma holding the racket in his right hand, he knew he wanted to hit a Twist Serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma was really stubborn!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Since that was the case, Kamishiro Aki planned to beat him until he was convinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, not by playing violent tennis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki didn't like playing violent tennis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He only played violent tennis against opponents who liked to play violent tennis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Like Akutsu Jin, Kamishiro Reiji, and Kirihara Akaya, whom he might face in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, if Kirihara Akaya didn't intend to play violent tennis, Kamishiro Aki would still treat him normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Echizen Ryoma served!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He tossed the tennis ball into the air, then leaped lightly, following through with his swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Horio shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It appeared! The Twist Serve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, the tennis ball crossed the net in an instant and landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the ball landed, it flew directly toward the right angle of the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki returned it easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The moment the ball crossed the net, it suddenly dropped and landed in the corner in front of the net.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Echizen Ryoma reacted, he didn't keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji hurriedly announced the score.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"15:0!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma muttered in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So it really doesn't work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Kamishiro Aki flicked his racket and smiled at Echizen Ryoma.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I told you the Twist Serve is useless against me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You're still far from it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as these words were out, Echizen Ryoma was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His favorite catchphrase.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was actually said by Kamishiro Aki in this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, he had a thought in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was to beat Kamishiro Aki and say to him: \"You're still far from it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, he had to use all his strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Echizen Ryoma switched his racket to his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing his appearance, Kamishiro Aki prepared to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finally getting serious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki wanted to see just how strong the protagonist of Prince of Tennis could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately, Echizen Ryoma served!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was a normal serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki could return it even more easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The moment the ball crossed the net, Echizen Ryoma slid over!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He sprang up!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, he swung his racket violently and slammed it into the tennis ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this moment, Echizen Ryoma shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Twist Serve!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to reach this ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Echizen Ryoma's opponent was Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He used his Shave footwork to move to the landing spot of the tennis ball!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, he swung his racket violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Paper Drawing Smash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The moment the ball crossed the net, Echizen Ryoma's reaction speed was astonishing, and he instinctively swung his racket!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When his racket was about to touch the ball, the tennis ball suddenly became like a paper drawing and dodged his racket!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tennis ball landed beside him and bounced twice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-15T23:08:58.537Z","2026-06-17T08:47:10.337Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","2054ad7de5e4b13155fe54b391ca44dad590aa5dc8a0df5f126a0aecb6a40d7e","tennis-emperor-starting-with-the-six-powers-chapter-90","tennis-emperor-starting-with-the-six-powers-chapter-88",229,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftennis-emperor-starting-with-the-six-powers-cover.jpg"]
