Tennis: Big Man In Rikkai, Hands In Pockets

Hyotei tennis club.

Atobe is leading the players who are being selected for the school team to have a pleasant training.

In order to allow the players to have a better practice environment, Atobe even built a summer ice drink bar on the side of the court.

There is a bar staff inside, who specializes in making iced drinks, which is simply inhumane.

"Master Atobe, afternoon tea is ready."

"Ready to share with your friends."

The staff at the bar arranged the exquisite trays neatly.

Each tray is equipped with delicious-looking fruit ice drinks and exquisite cakes and desserts.

"boom!!!"

Atobe used it to thump the flying tennis ball back, with a powerful and powerful landing sound, full of power.

"call"

Atobe let out a long sigh of relief, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.

If you want to improve your tennis level in a short period of time, the best way is to play against strong players.

But what a pity.

Recently, due to preparations for the national competition, the members of Rikkai are very busy.

Even many challengers tacitly agreed not to disturb Rikkai's big training, and Atobe was embarrassed to arrange another exchange match with great fanfare.

Seigaku's Tezuka and Echizen are all gone again.

Among the powerful tennis clubs in the Kanto region, Hyotei is the only one with a full staff.

This is why their Hyotei have been working hard in the tennis department during this time.

"It would be great if there is a stronger opponent, and that move should be able to be completed."

Atobe murmured inwardly.

Turning around, he was about to greet the team members to go to the bar to enjoy afternoon tea.

The intrusion of the two figures attracted their attention.

It was Irie Kanata and Tokugawa Kazuya who had just rushed to Hyotei from Seigaku.

"Excuse me, is Atobe from Hyotei here?"

According to the usual practice, Irie Kanata first announced the name of the main person she was looking for.

At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly, constantly looking at everyone in the court.

When he glanced at Atobe, he obviously lit up and stopped.

at this time.

Atobe was also looking straight at them.

"Hey, you're Tzu, right? See how your aura is different from other people's!"

Irie Kanata pointed to Atobe and asked with a smile.

Atobe looked proud, not very friendly: "I didn't expect you to be quite discerning! What can I do with my uncle?"

"Oh! You guessed it!"

Irie Kanata was overjoyed first, and then extended an invitation to Atobe.

"Student Atobe, I heard that the level of junior high school students is very high recently, which makes us high school students very curious. I want to see how the tennis level of junior high school students is. Could you please choose one between us and you Come to a singles competition?"

"Don't worry, as seniors, we will show mercy."

Irie Kanata pointed to himself and Tokugawa Kazuya, and blinked.

"Okay, how could my uncle refuse the prey that was delivered to your door!"

Atobe agreed without hesitation.

He is worried that he does not have a decent opponent to improve his strength and complete his skills.

Now there are two high school students who came to the door in person, so he has no reason to refuse.

"Then........Which of the two of us does Atobe want to fight?"

Irie Kanata narrowed her eyes and smiled.

present.

Atobe smiled confidently, picked up the racquet, pointed at Irie Kanata and said, "You talk so much, then you will be my opponent!"

"Oh? That's really an honor."

Irie Kanata chuckled, stuck out her tongue, and took out the racquet from her tennis bag.

"But I'm not very good at playing tennis, Atobe should give way!"

"Be merciful!"

"That's no problem at all, I'll let you save it first."

Atobe smiled casually and tossed the tennis ball to Irie Kanata.

The latter took the tennis ball and immediately showed an excited look.

"Thank you, Atobe classmate!"

“I just learned to play tennis, and I am addicted to serve recently!’

"Then.....look at mine! Super serve!!!"

Irie Kanata tossed the tennis ball into the air, and with a light leap, hit the tennis ball.

The whole movement is very slow.

The speed of the tennis ball is also very slow, and the landing point is even more messy, falling on the ground near the center of the court.

That place is extremely easy to be picked up by opponents.

Generally speaking, only novice tennis players who are worried about serving out or failing to serve the net will hit the drop point.

"Boom!!! w.!"

There is no doubt that the ball was easily returned by Atobe, and the return was still in the baseline area of ​​Irie Kanata.

Show off your ball control to perfection.

"Wow!! Atobe, what a perfect ball control!!"

Irie Kanata's eyes widened with a surprised expression.

However.

Atobe sneered.

"Hmph, don't pretend, your tennis skills should be on display.

"My uncle promised to compete with you, but he didn't come here specifically to play house with you."

"The level of high school students...is it more than that?"

As Atobe said, he put his finger between his eyes, and looked at Irie Kanata through the gap between his fingers.

"Your muscles, body movements, reaction habits, eye state, and overall coordination of movements are not at all like a novice who has just learned to play tennis."

"Do you think you can convince me that you are a novice with just a few words?"

"It's too small to look down on my uncle."

Atobe analyzed Irie Kanata's various playing habits very thoroughly, and dismantled the case on the spot.

"Hehe, it seems that Atobe's insight is really sharp, you can tell that I'm pretending with just one shot.

Irie Kanata gave a surprised expression.

"Okay, now that I've been seen through, then I have to work harder!!"

"Be careful, this serve is completely different!"

Irie Kanata raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and threw the tennis ball again with the same movement.

But this time.

His movements are very smooth and especially light.

"boom!!!"

There was a bang.

The tennis ball landed at Atobe's feet in an instant, and there was no time for Atobe to fight back.

It is a contactless ACE serve!

"So fast!!!"

"This shot is almost faster than Chotaro's [Heavy Cannon Serve]. An ordinary serve can reach this speed. Is this a high school student?"

Mingo Ryo was surprised by this ball.

Being used to Otori Cyotaroh's [Heavy Cannon serve], he knows that the speed of this ball is definitely not much different from that of the Heavy Cannon serve!

"Look at the muscles in his arms when he was serving, they are all strong muscles."

"After all, he is a high school student, so he has an absolute advantage physically."

Oshitari Yuushi sets his sights on Irie Kanata's muscles.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

indeed.

The physical gap between high school students and junior high school students is definitely a point that cannot be ignored.

but.

Even an ordinary high school student might not be able to type out a serve at this speed, right?

This gentle document wearing glasses looks a bit weak on the outside, but he is able to play such a powerful serve?

"Yes, that's what it looks like!"

"Just show off your high school student's full standard."

Atobe was not intimidated by this serve, and was even very excited in his tone.

He's enjoying a good match right now.

Only in this way can he progress faster!

"Then...... Atobe, I'll attack with all my might without hesitation!"

Irie Kanata showed a pleasant smile and picked up the tennis ball again.

"boom!!!"

"XI, 30-15!!"

"boom!!!"

"XI, 40-15!!"

"boom!!!"

"Irie won the game!!! 1-0."

Irie Kanata is easy.

He successfully won his own serve round without wasting much effort.

subsequently.

Came to Atobe's serve bureau.

Atobe smiled confidently.

"I want to thank you...your serve just now really benefited me a lot."

"The swing of the arms and the strength of the waist and abdomen have added a lot of inspiration to me, so that I can complete this ball."

"Let me show you my grandpa's gorgeous new skills!"

"Shua!!!"

Atobe tossed the tennis ball upwards, lowered his body as far as possible, and his pupils revealed colorful phantom lights.

Muscle strength, swing!!

"boom!!!"

The tennis ball flies across the net with a strong right spin that looks like a normal side spin serve.

However, after landing, the tennis ball did not bounce, but fled away tightly against the ground.

"Shua.....․唰...․...唰..."

"boom!!!!"

The tennis ball went straight to the wall of the backcourt, and flew up along the 90-degree right-angled wall.

"15-0,"

Atobe opened his mouth and said the score himself, and smiled triumphantly.

"How is it? My uncle's 【Tannhauser serve】is gorgeous enough."

Opposite the court.

Irie Kanata was still standing in the court blankly, showing a state of being too late to react.

It wasn't until after listening to Atobe's words that he came back to his senses.

Surprised on the face: "There is such a strange serve......"

His eyes were full of surprise, and it didn't look like he was pretending.

"It seems that junior high school students' tennis is still interesting!"

"Hmph, there are so many interesting things."

"Just show it to my uncle!"

"boom!!!"

"Waltz towards destruction!!!"

"Atobe won the game, 2-1!!!"

"boom!!!"

"Atobe wins the game, 3-1!!!"

"boom!!!"

"Atobe wins the game, 4-1!!!"

As soon as Atobe turned to the offensive, he launched a more violent attack, and the score gradually widened the gap.

"This guy, Atobe, beat a high school student? Is it true?"

Xiang Ri couldn't believe it.

"Hehe, don't forget, Atobe is also a top player at the national level. Compared with ordinary high school students, he is still very good, but compared with those monsters who are bigger than Rikkai, he doesn't think he is strong.

Oshitari Yuushi explained.

"However, there are high school students who want to come and inspect our junior high school student's website.

Don’t you think it’s a bit strange about the level of tennis? What does the level of junior high school students have to do with them?”

Otori Cyotaroh asked questions.

"Just after the Kanto Tournament, tennis reports about Shen Liming, a middle school student, spread all over Japan, and it was inevitable that high school students would see it."

If I were a high school student, and seeing a junior high school tennis player being so concerned and praised by others, I would also want to find out the truth, which is reasonable. "

Oshitari Yuushi spread his hands.

Everyone felt that what he said made sense, so they continued to look at the court.

"The competition should be over soon... That high school student looks very tired, and his physical strength is not good enough."

Xiang Ri laughed indifferently.

"boom!!!"

A tennis ball did inadvertently land behind Atobe.

Atobe glanced back at the tennis ball curiously.

"Heh, good luck, can this be hit by your blind cat meeting a dead mouse..."

It's not that Atobe underestimates the enemy.

At this moment, Irie Kanata is already sweating profusely, her eyes are tired, and she seems to be about to collapse soon.

Rather than believing that Irie Kanata had the will to return the shot, it's more reasonable to attribute him to luck.

However.

In the next few innings.

Such scenes of "a blind cat meeting a dead mouse" seem to be becoming more frequent.

"boom!!!"

"This round was won by Irie Kanata!"

"2-4!"

"Oh? You are so lucky to clean a tennis ball, and it actually rolled over to my side."

"boom!!!"

"This round was won by Irie Kanata!"

"3-4!"

"Hmm... just happened to be blown into the boundary by the wind... It should have been outside the boundary..."

"boom!!!"

"This round was won by Irie Kanata!!"

"4-4!"

"Huh?!! The score was tied?!"

Atobe was shocked when he heard the score.

Unknowingly.

He actually let the opponent win three small rounds in a row.

"This guy...was just pretending?"

Atobe's gaze became sharp, and he looked at Irie Bondo on the opposite court.

The latter realized that he had been discovered, so he couldn't help but straighten his waist.

"Oh, my acting skills are too bad? I was discovered by (Zhao) so early.

"Then let's not act."

The corners of Irie Kanata's mouth raised slightly, and she reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Breathing is also adjusted.

In an instant, his face was not red and his heart was not panting, and he looked like he was fine.

"Could it be?!!! That guy just pretended everything?"

Xiang Ri's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

They can't see it at all.

The other party's sweat, panting, stumbling steps, and even the sore arm that can't be lifted, all look real.

After a long time, did the other party act from the beginning to the end???!!

"This guy, a high school student, did he just play tricks on Atobe?"

Everyone in Hyotei looked at Irie Kanata on the court.

For a while, I felt a little scary.

Unfathomable.

I thought that the level of high school students was nothing more than that, but it turned out that they were the ones who were careless in the end.

"boom!!!"

"competition is over!"

"This round was won by Irie Kanata!"

"The score is 6-4."

"Give it up."

Irie Kanata spoke slowly by herself, announcing the result of the game, and gestured "yeah" to Atobe who was so tired on the court.

"Let's go, Tokugawa, another mission is completed."

We are talking.

Irie Kanata packs her tennis bag and prepares to leave Hyotei with Irie Kanata.

"Don't be too complacent!"

"The tennis level of junior high school students is not just like this!"

"If you meet Shen Liming who is older than Rikkai! You will know the real level of middle school tennis!"

Xiang Ri said to Irie Kanata with an unconvinced face.

As someone who fell into the fall when he first saw Shen Liming, Shen Liming was the first thing he thought of at this moment.
