Chapter 92: Ryoma Echizen enters the State of Self-Actualization
Subsequently, the third game began.
It was Ryoma Echizen's turn to serve.
He was highly focused now.
He no longer viewed this match as a practice match.
In his eyes, any match against Aki Kamishiro was an official match!
And he had to use his full strength to even have a chance of beating Aki Kamishiro!
Other than that, it was impossible!
It was precisely because he thought this way that Aki Kamishiro received a system notification in his mind.
"Ding! Hello, Host. Your opponent, Ryoma Echizen, considers this an official match."
"If you can win this match, you will receive one point."
Hearing this, the corners of Aki Kamishiro's mouth curled up slightly.
This was what he had been looking forward to.
It had come true after all.
Although it was only one point.
But even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small.
Besides, Ryoma Echizen's current strength really wasn't much.
It would be too easy for Aki Kamishiro to beat him.
Unless he could enter the State of Self-Actualization in this match, he wouldn't have the ability to compete with Aki Kamishiro.
At this moment, Ryoma Echizen took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and glanced at Aki Kamishiro.
He smiled at Aki Kamishiro.
"Playing tennis with you is really interesting."
"However, I'm getting serious now!"
"I will return your shots with all my might!"
"And, I will win this match!"
To this, Aki Kamishiro laughed.
"Don't talk big; win a point off me before you start bragging."
Hearing this, Ryoma Echizen pulled down his cap.
He knew that whatever he said now was useless.
Therefore, he had to win a point!
Immediately, Ryoma Echizen tossed the tennis ball into the air.
He then jumped up lightly and swung his racket!
"Bang!"
The angle of his swing this time was very wide!
The power had increased significantly.
The tennis ball flew directly over the net and landed precisely in the service box.
Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro hurried over.
He used the Brown Bear Drop again!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball flew rapidly toward the sky.
It traced a perfect parabola in the air.
The ball landed precisely toward the baseline.
Ryoma Echizen had long guessed that Aki Kamishiro would hit it like this; as soon as he ran onto the court, he rushed toward the baseline!
The moment the tennis ball was about to land, Ryoma Echizen caught up.
He swung his racket violently!
"Bang!"
He aimed for the corner of Aki Kamishiro's baseline.
But Aki Kamishiro didn't give him the chance.
As soon as the ball crossed the net, Aki Kamishiro appeared there.
He looked with a smile at Ryoma Echizen, who was running toward him.
He then touched the ball with his racket held horizontally.
"Ping!"
"Zero-Style Drop Shot!"
The tennis ball flew gently over the net.
Ryoma Echizen thought to himself, "Oh no!"
Once the Zero-Style Drop Shot lands, there's no chance!
Seeing this, he didn't care about getting hurt.
He dove directly, using his body's momentum to slide!
The moment the tennis ball was about to land, his racket arrived!
"Ping!"
A crisp sound of contact echoed.
The tennis ball bounced up!
But it didn't cross the net.
The ball hit the net and dropped.
"Swish!"
Ryoma Echizen was stunned for a moment.
Although he felt it was a pity, he saw hope!
Because he had returned this shot!
Even if it didn't cross the net.
But Horio, who was watching from the sidelines, didn't think so.
He sighed.
"Hey! What a pity! It actually hit the net!"
"If he had been a little faster, he could have returned that ball."
"Seriously, what is Echizen doing?"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.
At this time, Sadaharu Inui pushed up his glasses and said.
"It's already a miracle that Echizen could reach that ball."
"Even if it didn't cross the net, it has greatly boosted his confidence."
"Horio, watch the match quietly and don't interfere with them."
Seeing this, Horio quickly shut his mouth.
At this moment, Keigo Atobe said with a smile.
"Is that brat who's howling also from your tennis club?"
When asked this, Ichiro Oishi scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He really wanted to say he didn't know Horio.
At this time, Eiji Kikumaru, who had come back to his senses, quickly called out the score.
"15:0!"
He also felt sorry for Ryoma Echizen.
But he didn't say it out loud.
Because it's easy to distract the players.
But Ryoma Echizen was now completely in the zone.
No matter what the outside world said, it wouldn't distract him.
His eyes had begun to look different.
It was Ryoma Echizen's turn to serve again.
He gripped the tennis ball, applied spin, and let it drop naturally.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone was shocked!
Even Shusuke Fuji opened his eyes!
"This move is the Vanishing Serve!"
That's right, this was the serve Ryoma Echizen was going to hit!
The tennis ball spun as it fell, and he swung his racket from top to bottom!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball crossed the net instantly!
The moment the ball landed and bounced, it began to shake violently.
But this was only in the eyes of ordinary people.
Aki Kamishiro had his Sharingan activated.
In front of the Sharingan's powerful observation, no amount of shaking was useful.
He swung his racket violently toward where the ball was about to pass!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball hit his racket precisely!
Shusuke Fuji was stunned!
Aki Kamishiro was truly strong!
He returned the ball without any effort at all.
Subsequently, he saw that Ryoma Echizen was not surprised at all.
Ryoma Echizen began to run forward!
He then slid and launched himself!
"Twist Serve!"
"Bang!"
The tennis ball was blasted back by him.
Aki Kamishiro was slightly stunned.
Because Ryoma Echizen's strength was much stronger than just a moment ago.
Was he about to enter the State of Self-Actualization?
Before he could think more, the tennis ball had already landed.
Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro quickly used the Paper Art Drop Shot!
"Bang!"
The ball crossed the net, and Ryoma Echizen's racket swung over quickly!
The speed was very fast!
But this was the Paper Art Drop Shot!
The tennis ball dodged immediately when the racket was about to make contact.
But Aki Kamishiro couldn't be careless.
Because Ryoma Echizen seemed to be entering the State of Self-Actualization.
Just as he thought this, Ryoma Echizen instinctively turned and swung his racket to hit the ball!
"Bang!"
The tennis ball was hit back!
Sure enough, he was really about to enter the State of Self-Actualization.
His reaction speed was much faster than before.
Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro had to get serious too.
He swung his racket toward the tennis ball that was about to land!
"Bang!"
"Swallow Return!"
The tennis ball was hit back rapidly!
The ball flew directly past Ryoma Echizen and landed on the ground.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
After the ball landed, it flew at a low altitude!
When everyone saw that this move was the Swallow Return, they knew Ryoma Echizen had lost this point.
