Chapter 91: The Fourth Gate!

~7 min read 1,276 words

Inui Sadaharu's words made Atobe Keigo couldn't help but look at Kamishiro Aki.

Under the observation of his insightful vision.

He indeed discovered that Kamishiro Aki's Sharingan mode was different from before!

Before, there was only one black tomoe.

Now there were two more!

Three-Tomoe Sharingan!?

Although he didn't know what had happened.

But he knew that Kamishiro Aki's current Sharingan mode was definitely stronger than before!

Just then, Inui Sadaharu suddenly understood!

He said.

"Could this be the so-called Limit of Insight!"

Limit of Insight!?

What kind of vocabulary was that?

It was the first time they had heard it.

Even Kamishiro Aki was confused.

Because Inui Sadaharu's voice wasn't quiet.

Kamishiro Aki was just close enough to hear it.

Afterward, Inui Sadaharu continued.

"Atobe, you should know about the State of Self-Actualization, right?"

To this, Atobe Keigo nodded.

He understood things about the realm of domains.

Seeing this, Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses and said.

"Then you should know about the three great gates of the State of Self-Actualization."

"They are Hundred Refinements, Talent, and Heavenly Clothing!"

"But actually, there is a fourth gate."

"And that is Insight!"

"It is said that the eyes of the user who opens the Insight gate will enter a different-colored state for a short time!"

"In the different-colored state, the user's observation power will be several times what it was before!"

"Even more powerful, they can observe the opponent's behavior and actions through the different-colored eyes and achieve real-time one-to-one replication!"

Kamishiro Aki didn't quite understand.

But he was greatly shocked!

Could such a thing really exist in the Prince of Tennis world?

Was there a fourth gate after the State of Self-Actualization?

Kamishiro Aki even doubted whether he had missed something when he watched the anime before.

But what Inui Sadaharu said had similarities with the Sharingan's abilities.

Kamishiro Aki still believed more that Inui Sadaharu was talking nonsense.

But others didn't think so.

They all believed it.

Believed in the so-called fourth great gate of the State of Self-Actualization - the Limit of Insight!

Hmm...

Kamishiro Aki didn't intend to explain either.

Since they all thought so, let them think so.

Echizen Ryoma also heard Inui Sadaharu's explanation.

He was very surprised!

No wonder Kamishiro Aki could use the Zero-Style Drop Shot!

It turned out he had replicated what he had just hit.

He had learned the Zero-Style Drop Shot for a long time, yet it was learned in such a short time.

Seeing this, Echizen Ryoma muttered.

"You're still far from it!"

The second game began.

This game was Kamishiro Aki's serve.

Before Kamishiro Aki served, Fuji Syusuke prepared to observe.

He had already opened his eyes wide, staring at Kamishiro Aki's movements at all times.

He wanted to figure out how the Iron Block Serve was achieved.

Not only him, but others were the same.

Inui Sadaharu was even more serious.

He recorded in his notebook at any time.

Even Atobe Keigo was not surprised.

Although he had seen Kamishiro Aki hit the Iron Block Serve many times.

But he hadn't seen it clearly every time.

This time he must see it clearly!

Afterward, Kamishiro Aki served.

He also noticed the eyes of the people around him on him.

Kamishiro Aki didn't care about their observation.

Because the Iron Block Serve was not a serve that could be performed by observing movements.

Immediately, he tossed the tennis ball up.

Then he leaped lightly and swung his racket violently!

"Iron Block Serve!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew out instantly!

After crossing the net, the tennis ball began to drop sharply with the texture of an iron ball!

"Bang!"

The landing spot of the tennis ball was exactly on the T-line of the service area.

Echizen Ryoma, who was about to come over to receive the ball, was very helpless.

Because the Iron Block Serve didn't bounce after landing.

In other words, this was an unsolvable serve!

As long as Kamishiro Aki could hit the Iron Block Serve in his service game.

No matter who it was, they couldn't receive this serve!

Echizen Ryoma could only hope that Kamishiro Aki would make a mistake.

But his expectation fell through.

This entire game was Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Serve!

And 100% ball control rate!

A dominated service game!

Everyone was surprised!

Kamishiro Aki was much stronger than they had imagined!

At this moment, Kikumaru Eiji was stunned for a moment, then announced the score.

"2:0!"

"Kamishiro Aki takes this game!"

Seeing this, Horio couldn't help but say.

"Echizen won't lose, will he?"

"How could anyone receive such a serve."

"Even Captain Tezuka wouldn't be able to receive it!"

Hearing this, Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes and said.

"Kamishiro Aki's Iron Block Serve is indeed terrifying!"

"The falling tennis ball doesn't bounce at all, leaving the opponent no chance to receive the ball."

"It really is an unsolvable serve!"

"It's not realistic for Echizen to want to win..."

Inui Sadaharu nodded and took over Fuji Syusuke's words.

"Hmm, this kind of serve tests wrist strength very much."

At this moment, Horio asked.

"Is this really a serve that a human can hit? What's the principle behind it?"

To be honest, Sadaharu Inui hadn't seen it clearly either.

If the tennis ball hadn't failed to bounce, he would have thought it was just an ordinary serve!

However, he could deduce the principle.

He spoke up.

"Actually, the principle is quite simple."

"You all know about the Zero-Style Drop Shot, right?"

"I suspect he used the principle of the Zero-Style Drop Shot and fused it into the Iron Block Serve."

"But, when Aki Kamishiro serves, both his posture and his swing are just those of an ordinary serve."

"Still, this kind of serve must have side effects."

"This unreasonable serve, just like the Zero-Style Drop Shot, must place a certain amount of strain on the arm."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

In truth, they also wanted to figure out exactly how Aki Kamishiro hit the Iron Block Serve.

But no matter how they looked at it, it was just an ordinary serving motion and posture.

Even Takahiro Kabaji couldn't replicate the Iron Block Serve.

That was because Aki Kamishiro wasn't using the ball's rotation generated by a swing to complete the technique.

Instead, he was channeling the energy of the Navy Six-Style Iron Block through his own body to the specially made racket.

Then, it was transferred from the special racket onto the tennis ball.

In this way, the tennis ball possessed the texture of an iron block for a brief moment!

The moment it crossed the net, it would plummet sharply!

It's an iron ball, after all; if the force upon landing isn't great, it won't bounce.

Therefore, Aki Kamishiro only needed to control the power and the angle.

But how could anyone else have thought of this?

Thus, no matter how they observed, they couldn't learn it.

Even with Masaharu Niou of Rikkaidai present, he couldn't imitate it.

At this moment, Keigo Atobe smiled.

"I've said it before, Aki Kamishiro is a genius player who surpasses even me."

"This match is a destined crushing defeat for Echizen."

"You guys should be thinking about how to soothe his young heart after the match."

Hearing his words, Shusuke Fuji frowned.

What Keigo Atobe said was indeed true.

However, he didn't believe Ryoma Echizen would lose!

And it was only the third game!

Sadaharu Inui had also said that the Iron Block Serve was a serve that placed high strain on the arm.

Shusuke Fuji didn't think Aki Kamishiro could use the Iron Block Serve for the entire service game!
