Chapter 91

Hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji could only let out a helpless shout.

"Oishi!"

Oishi Shuichiro looked completely baffled — had he said something wrong?

At that moment, Kikumaru Eiji turned his gaze toward Kawamura Takashi.

Before he could ask, Kawamura Takashi answered him directly.

"Although I hate to admit it, it does seem like the Iron Wall serve is a little stronger than my Burning serve."

Hearing this, Kikumaru Eiji didn't quite agree.

He hurriedly handed the racket to Kawamura Takashi.

The next instant, Kawamura Takashi became a completely different person.

"Partytime!"

"Come on! Come on!"

"What kind of garbage Iron Wall serve! It's definitely my Burning serve that's stronger!"

Seeing this, Kikumaru Eiji was very happy.

But everyone else expressed helplessness.

Kamishiro Aki heard the noisy chatter from over there.

However, he couldn't make out what they were discussing.

Even with the physical enhancement from the Navy Six Styles, his hearing wasn't exaggerated enough to pick up sounds from that far away.

It was currently a break.

He felt it was still manageable.

He'd only broken a slight sweat.

His stamina had only been depleted by around ten percent.

Playing the whole match at full strength would definitely be no problem.

But the situation on Atobe Keigo's side didn't seem to be the same.

Although the first match had just been a warm-up and hadn't cost much stamina.

But in the second match's showdown.

Atobe Keigo had been returning balls purely on instinct.

His stamina consumption was definitely far, far greater than Kamishiro Aki's.

Immediately, he took a fierce gulp of mineral water.

At that moment, the coach of Yamabuki Junior High, Banda Ken'ya, came over and asked.

"How's it going, Atobe?"

"Isn't tennis fun?"

Hearing this question, Atobe Keigo hurled the half-finished water bottle straight onto the ground.

The water inside the bottle spilled out instantly.

Immediately, he glared at Banda Ken'ya and shouted.

"Stinky old man! Stop bothering me! You asking for a beating, huh! Huh!?"

Hearing his roar, Banda Ken'ya was already long past being surprised.

He even sat down right next to Atobe Keigo.

Then he said with a smile.

"Kamishiro Aki is pretty strong, isn't he."

"If you want to beat him, your physical conditioning alone definitely won't be enough."

"How about listening to my advice?"

After he finished asking, Atobe Keigo said nothing.

Seeing this, Banda Ken'ya smiled.

That meant Atobe Keigo had agreed.

Immediately, he began to speak.

Seeing that Banda Ken'ya had already started giving Atobe Keigo guidance over there.

Kamishiro Aki took a sip of mineral water.

At that moment, Sakaki Tarou walked over.

But unlike Banda Ken'ya, he didn't come over to coach.

Instead, he said to Kamishiro Aki.

"Kamishiro, nicely played!"

"But I have a question for you."

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki nodded and replied.

"Coach, go ahead and ask."

Sakaki Tarou sat down and asked.

"I noticed one of your serves just now had a very high jump."

"Why was that?"

Kamishiro Aki hadn't expected Sakaki Tarou to ask this question.

Indeed, one shouldn't jump very high when serving.

Because doing so gives the opponent more time to react.

But to execute the MAX version of the Finger Shot serve, the ball had to be tossed this high.

Kamishiro Aki had tested it.

The ball speed of the full-power Finger Shot serve from a normal jump was 240 kilometers per hour.

And the ball speed of the full-power Finger Shot serve from a super jump was 242 kilometers per hour!

The racket swung during the body's sharp forward drop carried more power than a normal serve.

Although the speed only increased by 2 kilometers per hour, an ordinary person could not possibly react to it.

But who could have expected Atobe Keigo—no, wait—Ajiatsuka Jin to receive his serve like a wild beast.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Aki explained everything to Sakaki Taro exactly as it was.

After receiving this explanation, Sakaki Taro gained new insight into the serve.

And at this moment, the break time ended.

The referee hurriedly shouted.

"Break over, match continues!"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki returned to the baseline.

At the same time, Ajiatsuka Jin also returned to the court.

Kamishiro Aki noticed that the look in Ajiatsuka Jin's eyes had changed!

Compared to before, he now looked more like a wolf!

It was the gaze of a predator eyeing its prey!

The referee shouted.

"Singles Three, Game Three, match begins!"

"Ajiatsuka Jin of Yamabuki Middle School will serve!"
