Net King: Black Glory

Chapter 508 Disastrous Failure (Part [-])

The game continued on the court, and this time, Echizen Ryoma adopted more aggressive tactics.

He was seen sliding forward, and when Fukaji's backspin ball just passed the net, he volleyed it.

The tennis ball flying at high speed turned back in an instant and passed straight past Itake Shinji's face.

Seeing this scene, especially when he saw the tennis ball passing through Itake Fukaji's defense and flying into the backcourt, Satoshi Horio, one of the three giants of Seigaku, couldn't help but cheer.

And his two companions were also shouting loudly at this moment.

"Come on Echizen, we should score now!"

however.

Their cheers had not lasted for a second, when midfielder Fukasaki Itake suddenly took two consecutive steps, and his subsequent movements were completely beyond the imagination of the three Horios.

When the tennis ball flew past Shenji's guarding range, he twisted the sole of his left foot, touched the heel of his right foot, and completed a large turn with the help of the inertia of his body.

After turning around, Fukaji's calf suddenly exerted force. After leaving an afterimage in the court, he instantly caught up with the tennis ball that had not yet flown out of the baseline.

The tennis ball that looked like it was about to score was firmly covered by Fukasa's racket.

This time it's not a top-line spin ball, but a bottom-line attack like fishing for the moon in the sea.
  boom!
  The tennis ball passed through Echizen Ryoma's crotch in astonishment and exploded in his backcourt.

"Game, Fudomine Ibu Fukaji scored, losing 4:0."

"This shot is good, but it's still a little trick!"

After fighting back, Ibu Fukaji put away his racket and stood upright in the backcourt, looking at Echizen Ryoma with a stern expression.

"I told you, your tennis balls are of no use to me!"

Shenji's tone was very calm, so calm that he seemed to be stating a fact when he said this.

But it was such plain words that stimulated the proud Echizen Ryoma even more.

Such a scene is like when his toddler was just practicing tennis and playing against his most annoying dad.

That tone of voice that sounded like a statement made his palms clenched tightly on the racket in his hand.

Echizen Ryoma didn't argue too much, he just stared at Ibu Shinji's figure with his sharp sword-like eyes.

……

The atmosphere in the Fudomine area was much more relaxed at the moment. After seeing Ibu Fukasuke scoring so easily, Kamio Akira silently took out his racket and prepared to do some exercise.

According to this progress, he should be on the field soon...

Compared with the silence and relaxation here at Fudo Peak, the Qingxue area is much more lively.

"Echizen didn't even get a point? And he was able to catch up with tennis like that just now?"

Horio Satoshi, who had always been fascinated by Echizen and Seigaku, was a little shaken after seeing Fudomine's strength. He grabbed his hair hard.

"Katsuro, Fudomine...it's so scary! Are all their players monsters of this level?"

As Katsuo Mizuno, who had just come into contact with tennis, he always thought that Echizen Ryoma was the benchmark of genius for him, but what Ibu Fukaji showed was completely beyond his imagination.

Especially the on-the-spot reaction and speed just now were beyond what ordinary people like them could achieve.

"Shenji's character who likes to constantly attack and educate others is exactly the same as Zongyan." Tachibana Juping also shook his head helplessly.

Ever since Saeki Munuhiko began teaching Itake Fukaji how to play tennis, Fukaji began to imitate Munuhiko in every aspect.

In terms of strength, you haven't learned much yet, but your attitude of education and overlooking has already gained the essence of true inheritance.

Of course, if it weren't for last year's competition and growth, it would still be very difficult for Itake Shinji to reach where he is now.

But now, with Itake Shinji's experience and strength, it is not difficult at all to win this round.

As the sky cleared up, some players from other schools came to the sidelines one after another.

Two figures in gray and white uniforms attracted a lot of people's attention.

It was Atobe Keigo and his follower Takahiro Kagachi.

Atobe Keigo looked at Echizen Ryoma who continued to show his strength on the court and Ibu Shinji who was understatement. The expression on his face was not as relaxed as before, but became a little more serious.

In last year's Kanto Competition and National Competition, Itake Fukaji had already demonstrated his talent on the path of spiritual power.

Although he was defeated by Yukimura Seiichi at that time, he was not taken seriously by Atobe.

But after a wave of strengthening in the training camp, his strength has improved again.

Although it was a simple regional preliminaries, Fudoho just wanted to train his troops, but judging from the strength shown now, Fudoho's strength has obviously become stronger this year.

"Ha~ Fudomine...Saeki...you Fudomine are really a good opponent!"

Atobe slightly moved the hair on his forehead with his fingers: "It seems that after we go back, we have to spend the night with Tachibana again, right, Kachi!"

"Yes~"

……

Qingxue's half-court baseline service area.

Echizen Ryoma, who was holding the tennis ball, was in a state of mind at this moment.

After experiencing the lessons of the previous four rounds, Echizen Ryoma, who had an amazing combat IQ, also started his own plan.

At this moment, he clearly knew that Itake Shinji was completely stronger than him.

This is the fourth person who can really suppress him after returning to Neon Yue. If he still sticks to the previous game method, I'm afraid the results of the next two games will not be good.

Therefore, he had to make huge changes.

Da da…

The thoughts in his mind did not affect the movements of Echizen Ryoma's hands. After gently tapping the tennis ball twice, he threw the ball and set the racket, condensing all his strength to hit the tennis ball towards Fukaji's receiving area. boom!
  The tennis ball drew a sharp arc in the sky above the court. After landing with a dull sound, it accurately hit the inner corner of Fukaji's receiving line.

"Well, you're actually not serving or hitting the net anymore. Are you going to try to find a flaw by pulling on it?"

Itake Shinji narrowed his eyes. His rich experience allowed him to estimate Echizen Ryoma's plan very closely.

"However, if you think that pulling the baseline is easy, you are totally wrong. I will not slow down the pace of the game. Just numb your hands."

After judging Echizen Ryoma's intentions, Shenji struck decisively.

……

The pace under his feet kept starting, leaving an afterimage on the court and disappearing at the bottom line.

His constantly running body brought up gusts of strong wind, blowing the black Fudomine team uniform that wrapped his body tightly to his body.

The two sides launched a tense and anxious battle on the bottom line, middle line, and frontcourt.

After Itake Fukaji gained the upper hand, he refused to give in and continued to hit the tennis ball with topspin and backspin.

Every time the tennis ball bounced back, Ibu Fukaji's figure appeared in time at the landing point of the tennis ball.

boom!
  Hit the racket hard, or chip it hard!
  Tennis balls flashed in the sky above the court, giving Ryoma extremely strong pressure.

Qingxue's rest area.

Fuji looked at Echizen Ryoma who seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and the worry on his face became more and more serious.

Everyone in Qingxue still liked this little guy, but seeing Ryoma struggling on the court at this moment, Fuji was a little worried.

I was worried that Echizen Ryoma would be overwhelmed by the pressure of this kind of competition.

After all, he is only in the first grade.

"Tezuka! Echizen... shouldn't be a problem, right?"

When in doubt, ask Tezuka. This is a good habit that Fuji has developed over a long period of time.

However, Tezuka did not reply to him this time. His sharp eagle-like eyes were watching Ryoma's every move.

Not getting a reply from Tezuka, Fuji didn't think there was any problem.

But Takeshi Momoro on the other side said to him in a deep voice:
  "Fuji-senpai, that guy Echizen, never knows what pressure is. Look at Echizen's expression, he looks like he's not affected in any way!"

"That guy should still be enjoying this kind of stressful competition...hiss..." Kaoru Kaido is someone who has competed with Echizen Ryoma and is very envious of his mentality.

"Ok!"

"Kaido, Momojo, what you said is right. I should be like you and believe in Echizen." After hearing the words of the two juniors, Fuji Shusuke also said with a smile.

Although Fuji knew that Echizen had little chance of winning, he could see that when Echizen faced a strong enemy, he still kept taking out new things from his arsenal to deal with it.

He still felt very happy.

"Is this a small one-legged step? Yes, is Ryoma doing it in response to Shenji's increasingly fast and fierce attacks?"

After exposing the basic steps of one foot, Echizen Ryoma took a little more initiative in the pull from both sides.

After trying his best, he finally scored a point and avoided the embarrassment of having his head shaved.

Of course, Echizen Ryoma didn't think so. He thought this was the prelude to his counterattack.

but.

"However, if this continues, another temporary paralysis ability of Ibu Shinji will appear... How can you deal with it? Echizen!"

Seeing Echizen's performance, Fuji still had a smile on his face, but his squinted eyes were already half-open.

……

"You are really strong. I am getting more and more excited to face off against an opponent like you!"

As everyone in Seigaku expected, feeling the increasingly powerful suppression exerted by Ibu Shinji on him, Echizen Ryoma was not afraid, but instead became more and more excited.

He bent his knees slightly, lowered his center of gravity, and continued to use basic steps on one foot.

Keep the rhythm of your actions initiated.

"Aha!"

boom!
  Catching up with Fukaji's topspin shot again, Echizen Ryoma roared and pulled the tennis ball back. The sound of the impact caused by the collision between the racket and the tennis ball was extremely clear.

The speed of the tennis ball is also very fast, and Echizen Ryoma's strong control of the ball allows him to accurately press the tennis ball on the left boundary of Fukaji's half.

"Can you guarantee your control of the ball until the end of the game?"

Shinji's eyes flashed with light, and a cold voice came out of his mouth again: "It's a pity that it's over. Just let your hand become paralyzed!"

boom!
  Watching the tennis ball flying towards him, Echizen Ryoma's steps were fast as he insisted on taking small steps on one foot. He stepped on his toes and then immediately turned to appear in front of the path of the tennis ball's flight.

However, when he just made the movement of swinging the racket, his left arm was instantly paralyzed, as if he had lost consciousness, and it stopped there in a daze.

Boom!
  The tennis ball passed directly through Echizen Ryoma's body, landed on the baseline, and then flew out.

"Game, Fudomine Ibu Fukaji scores, the score is 5-1."

　When I was still at work after five o'clock yesterday afternoon, the editor contacted me and said: I am going to be on the vane again.
