Chapter 94

"3:0!"

"Aki Kamishiro leads temporarily."

After Eiji Kikumaru called the score, he glanced at Ryoma Echizen, who was breathing heavily.

At this moment, Ryoma Echizen was trying hard to adjust his breathing, recovering as much physical strength as possible.

Aki Kamishiro was indeed very strong, worthy of being the person who could defeat Keigo Atobe.

Although Ryoma Echizen didn't really want to admit it, with his current strength, he really couldn't beat Aki Kamishiro.

However, today, because of the duel with Aki Kamishiro, he finally entered the State of Self-Actualization.

This should be the brand-new realm his father, Nanjiro Echizen, mentioned.

After activating the State of Self-Actualization, he felt that his body's functions, strength, and sharpness were all stimulated.

He was almost relying on instinct to receive the incoming tennis ball.

But the price was also quite high; the consumption of physical strength was more than double what it was before.

However, Ryoma Echizen was already very satisfied; being able to activate the State of Self-Actualization today was already the best harvest.

The rest time ended, and the match reached the fourth game.

Although Ryoma Echizen knew that it was impossible to win today.

But that didn't mean he was going to give up the match.

His state of mind now was different from before; even if he knew he would lose, he would persist until the last moment.

Thinking of this, he walked to the baseline, looked at Aki Kamishiro on the opposite side, tightened his cap, and smiled.

"Aki Kamishiro, attack with all your might!"

Hearing his words, Aki Kamishiro felt a strange sense of gratification.

And he looked at Ryoma Echizen differently than before.

Seeing this, Aki Kamishiro smiled.

"That's a really good look in your eyes."

Not only did Aki Kamishiro think so, but others thought so too.

Especially Shusuke Fuji, who squinted and smiled.

"It seems Echizen has grown; perhaps we really have a chance to compete against Rikkaidai this time."

Shusuke Fuji's words were ruthlessly interrupted by Keigo Atobe.

"Fuji, aren't you being too naive?"

When he said this, Shusuke Fuji looked at Keigo Atobe.

He wanted to know why Keigo Atobe said that.

Seeing this, Keigo Atobe took a sip of his iced drink and explained with a smile.

"Although that brat Echizen has grown a lot, don't underestimate Rikkaidai."

"Rikkaidai has won the national championship for two consecutive years; don't tell me you don't understand the value of that."

"What's more, Tezuka is still in Germany for rehabilitation; wanting to beat Rikkaidai, humph, is simply wishful thinking."

Keigo Atobe's words were full of mockery; anyone could see that.

Eiji Kikumaru, sitting on the umpire's chair, was immediately unhappy.

"Hey! Atobe! You think our Seigaku people are easy to bully!?"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ichiro Oishi quickly stepped in as a peacemaker.

"Eiji, don't get excited."

"Although Atobe's words were a bit aggressive, it is a fact."

"Rikkaidai's strength is indeed very powerful."

Seeing Ichiro Oishi step in to speak, Sadaharu Inui pushed up his glasses and quickly took over the conversation.

"Hmm, although Atobe's words are unpleasant, honest advice is hard to hear; we at Seigaku really shouldn't be too arrogant."

With one person saying one thing and another saying another, Aki Kamishiro on the court could hardly listen anymore.

Immediately, he shook the special racket in his hand and said to everyone.

"Be quiet, everyone; this is a match between me and Ryoma Echizen, don't bring up Rikkaidai."

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned.

But it was true; talking about Rikkaidai now was indeed a bit too early.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Aki Kamishiro looked at Eiji Kikumaru on the umpire's chair and smiled.

"Senior Kikumaru, let's continue the match."

Seeing this, Eiji Kikumaru put away his temper and said loudly.

"The match continues! The current score is 3:0! Hyotei's Aki Kamishiro leads."

"The fourth game begins!"

"Aki Kamishiro to serve!"

When Eiji Kikumaru said this, he realized that this game was Aki Kamishiro's service game.

He couldn't help but glance at Ryoma Echizen.

Others also couldn't help but look at Ryoma Echizen.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Ryoma Echizen silently lowered his head and habitually pulled his cap.

He understood what everyone meant.

This was Aki Kamishiro's service game, which meant Aki Kamishiro would still use the Iron Block Serve.

If Aki Kamishiro didn't make a mistake in his serve, this would be another dominated service game.

Therefore, Ryoma Echizen could only pray that Aki Kamishiro would make a mistake.

But that was impossible.

At this moment, Aki Kamishiro served.

He tossed the tennis ball into the air, but this time he didn't jump, but waited for the ball to drop.

This stunned everyone.

Because this starting move was not the starting move for the Iron Block Serve!

It was the starting move for the Finger Pistol Serve!

When everyone thought this, the tennis ball dropped directly.

Immediately after, Aki Kamishiro swung his racket violently at the tennis ball and shouted.

"Finger Pistol Serve!"

"Bang!"

This surprised everyone!

Aki Kamishiro could clearly have used the Iron Block Serve to dominate the service game, but he hit a Finger Pistol Serve instead!

Even Ryoma Echizen didn't expect it.

Therefore, his reaction was half a beat slow.

The next moment, the tennis ball landed heavily!

"Bang!"

The tennis ball flew directly past Ryoma Echizen.

When the tennis ball landed, Eiji Kikumaru called the score.

"15:0!"

Looking at Ryoma Echizen, who was still a bit stunned, Aki Kamishiro smiled.

"Echizen, you can't beat Rikkaidai in this state!"

"You can't even receive my Finger Pistol Serve!"

Seeing this, Ryoma Echizen smiled, and everyone else smiled too.

Anyone could see that Aki Kamishiro was giving Ryoma Echizen a chance!

The Iron Block Serve is an unsolvable serve; it's normal for Ryoma Echizen not to be able to receive it.

But now that Aki Kamishiro had taken the initiative to hit a Finger Pistol Serve, if he still couldn't receive it, then it was Ryoma Echizen's own problem.

How could Ryoma Echizen have thought of this?

8 5 0 2

9 6 5 0 1

Seeing this, he directly activated the one-footed step and said to Aki Kamishiro with a smile.

"Kamishiro, then I will use all my strength to defeat you!"

Hearing this, Aki Kamishiro shook his racket and smiled.

"Then we'll see if you have the ability!"

After speaking, he tossed the tennis ball directly into the air!

As the ball dropped, he swung his racket violently!

"Finger Pistol Serve!"

"Bang!"

The next moment, the tennis ball crossed the net instantly.

Ryoma Echizen stared fixedly at the tennis ball.

But he still felt that this Finger Pistol Serve was so fast!

The ball speed must have reached two hundred kilometers per hour.

Ryoma Echizen hurried to the service area, and immediately after, the tennis ball landed instantly!

"Bang!"

The moment the ball bounced, Ryoma Echizen smiled.

"Right here!"

Immediately, he swung his racket violently!
