Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

"Wait...wait a minute."

Letting the tennis ball fall from the ground at an angle of [-] degrees from the ground at his feet and bounce back behind him, Yukinoshita Yukino dropped her hand holding the racket for the first time and gasped a little.

"Let me take a break first."

"Eh?"

Totsuka Ayaka, who had just won a goal, was obviously a little surprised by the sudden intermission.

One thing to say, although they played for about ten minutes, it was just a practice match after all, and the intensity was not as high as a real game. Up to now, it was just a warm-up for him, so why did he have to play midfield? rest?

"Sorry, actually physical strength is the only thing I don't have much confidence in."

Yukinoshita Yukino picked up the tennis ball that fell on the ground behind her and walked out of the court. She came to the shade of the tree where Qin Ushu and others were watching the game. She leaned against the thick trunk of the big tree and helplessly calmed her breathing.

In fact, her physical fitness is not good, it can even be said to be quite poor. The amount of exercise just now has made her covered in sweat. The breathable and thin sportswear is pulled tightly against the skin by the sweat. Normally, It should be said that it should outline attractive lines.

However, it does not.

Because it's so flat that I can't outline it at all.

"Sorry, hard work."

Seeing the girl's tired look, Totsuka Ayaka couldn't help but apologize.

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. Since I accepted your commission, I will definitely do my best to help."

At this time, the sound of a rusty door shaft turning suddenly came from not far away.

Unlike the badminton court, the tennis court is surrounded by high net walls, and entry and exit are through a net gate that is as high as one person.

Qin Xianshu heard the sound and looked in the direction, his eyebrows raised slightly.

There were quite a few people coming, and the leader was a familiar yellow-haired man.

"Yeshan." Qin Sanshu raised his chin and spoke a little louder.

"Eh? Umbrella Shu? What a coincidence, how could you..."

Hayama Hayato was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted and explained.

"It's like this. Yuiko said she wanted to play tennis, so——"

As his eyes passed over the figures present, his voice gradually dropped, and a slightly embarrassed smile appeared on his handsome face.

"It seems there are a little too many people..."

"Eh? But Hayato, I want to play tennis!"

Seeing that her boyfriend meant to back off, Miura Yuko immediately frowned and urged.

"This..." Hayama Hayato was also a little embarrassed.

He is the kind of good old man who values ​​peace in everything and always wants to solve things to the satisfaction of everyone.

At the moment, one side is urging from his girlfriend, and the other side is that he has the upper hand in terms of first come, first served. The combined pressure from both parties makes Hayama Hayato feel a headache.

But he still tried his best to put on a good-guy smile.

"Then... how about we all play together? A sport like tennis is only fun if everyone plays together!"

"Ok?"

Qin Ushu did not answer immediately, but turned his gaze to Totsuka Ayaka aside.

Totsuka Ayaka herself also looked troubled.

The atmosphere on the court was deadlocked for a moment.

"I reject."

Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth to break the deadlock, he said calmly.

"Totsuka applied for this space from the teacher, so it is not convenient for you to use."

"Application? Why didn't I know there was such a process?"

Miura Yuiko is not as easy to deceive as Yuigahama Yui. She already understood it as soon as she heard the word "application".

"How should I put it...it can't be considered an application..." Totsuka Ayaka hesitated.

Hikigaya Hachiman's words can only be described as half-truths and half-falsehoods. They did apply, but what they applied for was not the field, but the tennis rackets and tennis balls they used.

"Look, I'll just say it~"

Miura Yuko sneered.

"Then I think it's better than this. Let's have a game, and the winner will be eligible to use the venue. How about that?"

"that……"

Hikigaya Hachiman frowned and was about to grit his teeth and speak, when a hand stretched out from behind grabbed his shoulder.

"Okay, since others have challenged us like this, there is no reason why we should not accept it."

Qin Ushu took the tennis racket from Yukinoshita Yukino's hand and rotated it around his wrist like an arm, making a clattering sound in the air.

His movements froze instantly, and he suddenly grasped the tennis racket with one hand, keeping his arm at a straight angle, as if he was drawing a sword to point at the enemy, and his tone was full of joy.

"Stand back, I'm going to start pretending."

Chapter 49 Well Played

"Eh?"

Seeing Qin Ushu holding a tennis racket and walking to the opposite side of herself and others, Miura Yuko was obviously stunned.

Others may not know it clearly, but she knows that this guy has never been interested in tennis. It should be said that he is not interested in any sports that require strenuous exercise and sweating.

Including the free practice tasks assigned by the teacher in the physical education class, they all muddle through. Every time, they were playing enthusiastically there, and then this guy would just enjoy the cool weather and fish around to watch and learn.

You can let such a fish monster take the initiative, unless——

Miura Yuko's eyes naturally fell on Yuigahama Yui, who looked nervous under the shade of a tree.

That's it~

The girl who thought she had seen through everything raised an ambiguous smile like that of a CP leader.

"Okay, how about we play a mixed doubles match first? Hayato and I will team up, and Usama Shu and Yui will team up."

"Eh!?"

When his name was suddenly called, a certain peach-colored dumpling was immediately startled and hurriedly waved his hands.

"I...I definitely can't do it. You also know my tennis level, Yuiko, and I can't compete with you..."

"What's the matter~"

As the topic gradually went off the rails, Miura Yuko, who was originally as aggressive as a villain, suddenly became extremely enthusiastic. She activated the skill "The Great Invitation of the King" towards Yui Hama Yui.

"It's just for fun. It's not a formal competition. Friendship comes first and competition comes second. Besides, looking at you guys, you should be practicing with Totsuka-san. That's a good time for us to come and help. There are so many people. It’s so powerful, how about it?”

"I……"

"Okay, then it's decided happily." Qin Sanshu raised his chin and said, "Yuigahama, just stay on the court and leave the rest to me."

"Just stand on the court... So what exactly are we going to do?" Yuigahama Yui took the tennis racket from Totsuka Ayaka with some hesitation.

"You can mix it cold or mixed, it's up to you."

After saying this, Qin Xianshu took the initiative to stand in the front half.

According to the settings in Prince of Tennis, there are two combinations of doubles matches.

One is that each of the two people is in charge of the left and right half of the field, but that requires a relatively high degree of tacit understanding between teammates. Otherwise, it is very likely that a ball will come over and land near the center line, and then the two will They all swung their rackets to catch them, but the rackets started to hit each other.

The other is that the two people are each in charge of the front and rear half of the field. If the ball falls in the front half, the person in the front half will take the ball. If the ball falls in the second half, the person in the back half will catch the ball.

It may sound despicable, but through analysis and judgment, Qin Ushu can conclude that Miura Yuko and Hayama Hayato will at least control most of the ball placement in the first half of the game.

In other words, on the surface this is a mixed doubles match between him and Yuigahama Yui, but in fact it is his own... one-man show!

"Come on~!"

Miura Yuko started to serve. Interestingly, she did not use some advanced serving skills, but honestly threw the ball up and then hit it normally.

Pong!

With the sound of hitting the ball, the yellow-green tennis ball drew a perfect arc in the air, fell over the net to the ground, and bounced up again relying on its own elasticity.

Qin Sanshu waved and greeted him without saying a word.

He swung the racket from bottom to top to shock the incoming ball, and in a move that seemed somewhat awkward to others, he bounced Miura Yuko's straight ball back, taking it to a whole new level.

I saw the tennis ball rising from the ground with the momentum of a rocket. After reaching the highest point, it drew a functional arc that opened downwards and then fell downwards at an almost vertical angle.

"It's actually a high... lob!?" Sho Tobe exclaimed loudly.

The lob is a very common technique in tennis matches. It can make the tennis ball fly very high but at the same time fly forward at a relatively slow speed. If used properly, it can easily force the opponent to chase the ball and thereby disrupt the position. .

But if you don't use it well, it will be a smash...

Qin Xianshu obviously would not make such a stupid mistake.

He controlled the ball's landing point on the edge of the opponent's field, on the side Hayato Hayato was defending, but did not completely press the boundary.

At first glance it looks like a good ball to catch.

But if someone is really naive enough to happily serve as a ball carrier——

boom!

The tennis ball falling from the sky spun at high speed and hit the ground hard. The gravitational potential energy accumulated from falling from high altitude plus the rotational kinetic energy Qin Ushu applied to it at the moment of hitting the ball caused it to bounce to the side the moment it contacted the ground. Get out and fly straight out to the sidelines.

"15 to 0!" Totsuka Ayaka, who replaced Yuigahama Yui as the referee, announced loudly.

Hayama Hayato's movement to catch the ball froze in mid-air, and Miura Yuko even showed an expression of disbelief.

"Isn't it...could this be the legendary Echizen Ryoma's secret technique of outspin serve?!" Sho Tobe was shocked and did not forget to explain on the spot.

"How is it possible? The off-spin serve landed and flew towards the face of the person receiving the ball. It was just an ordinary side-spin ball." Qin Ushu put away his racket with a face full of basics, "I used to play in games. I happened to see this trick in a collection, so I took it out and gave it a try.”

Have seen...

try it...

No one would believe that such a high-level technique could be used perfectly just by seeing it and trying it out.

Except Yukinoshita Yukino.

"It's so careless that you hide your clumsiness."

Miura Yuko picked up the tennis ball from the ground, with a somewhat unconvinced expression on her face.

She threw the ball high into the air like last time, but with a slight tilt in her swing.

The moment the ball was hit, Qin Xianshu, who quickly judged the path of the ball, lowered his body slightly and bolted out like a cheetah, almost reaching the correct landing point before the ball flew over the net.

To others, he seemed to have flashed into the past.

collapse!

The rackets touched each other, and an unusual force came from his wrists, which made Qin Ushu subconsciously turn around in surprise.

If I really had to describe it, it would be like the feeling of a hedgehog balled up against a tennis racket and desperately trying to climb up.

He tried to adjust, but it was too late. The tennis ball bounced directly into the air, was thrown high behind, and finally landed outside the boundary.

"15 to 15!"

"As expected of Yumiko!" Sho Tobe cheered loudly.

"Huhu~ It seems you really can't be careless, you have to be more serious!"

Miura Yuiko, who had won a victory, stroked her golden waves proudly.

On the other side, the person picking up the ball was replaced by Qin Ushu.

He picked up the dropped tennis ball from the ground, looked across the net, and his tone was unexpectedly calm.

"What ball was that just now?"

"Huh? It's nothing~just a simple spin serve." Miura Yuko hummed.

Although she said it was nothing, her raised eyebrows still betrayed her true mood at the moment.
