Prince of Tennis: I, the Son of God, Yukimura Seiichi

Shuji Tanegashima's figure had already reached the mid-court. He slowly raised his arm, placed the racket in front of him, and aimed to slice the tennis ball.

Dong—

The moment the racket hit the tennis ball, a heavy aura instantly spread out from Shuji Tanegashima. The air currents instantly dispersed, and the trees outside the court were constantly blown by the air currents, scattering leaves all over the ground.

In an instant, the air currents dissipated, and everything seemed to return to calm.

However, Shuji Tanegashima's arm didn't tremble in the slightest.

Immediately, Shuji Tanegashima pushed his arm forward, and the tennis ball quickly flew towards Yukimura.

"As expected of a senior, he simply used technique to defuse the attack."

A trace of brilliance appeared in Yukimura's purple eyes. He saw very clearly that Shuji Tanegashima had defused the attack the moment he hit the tennis ball.

Moreover, his aura also changed, like a very calm lake surface.

"Shuji is serious!"

Kazuya Irie said, looking at the serious-faced Shuji Tanegashima.

"If he's not serious, he might lose this match," Jujiro Oni replied.

"Step Moon, the establishment of Ichikizuki..."

However, he felt a strange sense of familiarity with the aura on Yukimura.

Hōōin Byōdōin's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression. It wasn't just Jujiro Oni who felt this way; he felt the same.

"The fluctuations of spiritual power are starting to change."

Kogetsu Ochi thought, staring intently at Yukimura.

Tap tap. Yukimura continuously moved his feet, and his figure instantly appeared at the landing point of the tennis ball.

Only a 'dong' sound was heard, and the tennis ball landed on the ground.

Whoosh. Yukimura raised his arm, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes, and then immediately swung his arm.

The racket struck the tennis ball, and the astonishing air currents spread out again.

"Go back!"

Yukimura murmured, already smashing the tennis ball back.

"As expected, exactly the same as the last ball."

Shuji Tanegashima thought, watching the speeding tennis ball.

Speed, spin, trajectory, exactly the same as the last ball.

Without hesitation, Shuji Tanegashima had already reacted.

Yukimura's gentle voice entered Shuji Tanegashima's ears.

While speaking, Yukimura had already lowered his body, lowered his right-hand racket, and then swung his racket backhand.

Bang. The sound of the ball hitting rang out, and the tennis ball brought up a gust of air, instantly flying out from Shuji Tanegashima's side.

"30:15!"

After scoring, Yukimura's voice rang out again.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable!"

The smiling expression on Shuji Tanegashima's face completely disappeared, replaced by an expression that was even more serious and earnest than before.

Yukimura's movements just now were too fast, so fast that even Shuji Tanegashima didn't react.

"Oni, did you see that?"

Kazuya Irie's eyes revealed a solemn look, with deep contemplation in the depths of his eyes.

He was too familiar with this feeling!

"I saw it."

Jujiro Oni nodded, his tone somewhat grave: "He acted the instant before Shuji could even counterattack."

"This isn't prediction!"

Hōōin Byōdōin already had an answer in his heart, because he knew very well that although predicting the opponent's hitting point was very normal, what Yukimura showed exceeded the scope of prediction. Even he couldn't do this.

"His spiritual power is actually this strong?"

Kogetsu Ochi was also very surprised. He never expected that Yukimura's spiritual power would reach this level.

In the monitoring room.

"Rewind the footage of Yukimura's score just now."

Yukio Kurobe said to the staff.

"Yes!"

The staff immediately retrieved the footage from just now. In slow motion, the three coaches clearly saw what had happened just now.

"Prediction?"

Ryuji Takuetsu said, looking at the slow-motion footage, somewhat uncertainly.

"If this is prediction, then why didn't he predict and score directly before? Why did he wait until now?"

Seiichi Saitō asked in return, and then continued: "Usually, it's normal to judge the opponent's hitting action and the landing point of the ball, but Yukimura-kun's performance is too fast, as if he knew in advance where Tanegashima would hit the tennis ball."

"Not only that, both of them are near the mid-court. Even if they judge the landing point of the tennis ball at this distance, they can't react and score in an instant."

Yukio Kurobe nodded, looking at Yukimura's reaction and movements in the video: "Too fast, it's as if he knew in advance where Tanegashima would hit the tennis ball."

Ryuji Takuetsu fell into deep thought, pondering: "Is this kind of situation possible?"

Seiichi Saitō and Yukio Kurobe were silent.

Indeed, just as Ryuji Takuetsu said, is this kind of situation possible?

On the court.

Shuji Tanegashima turned his head to look at the tennis ball behind him, then looked at Yukimura again.

The score is now 30:15, Yukimura is in the lead.

"Really—."

Shuji Tanegashima shook his head and chuckled. This was the first time he had played against Yukimura and been so suppressed. After taking a deep look at Yukimura, Shuji Tanegashima returned to the baseline.

Pressure!

Shuji Tanegashima felt pressure from Yukimura.

The match continued, Yukimura serving.

Baseline, Yukimura held the tennis ball in his hand, then tossed the tennis ball up. The sound of the ball hitting rang out, and the tennis ball flew out in a flash.

The tennis ball was attached with strong spin, bringing up bursts of air-piercing sounds.

Shuji Tanegashima's expression was solemn, and his figure had already caught up with the tennis ball. After the tennis ball landed and bounced, he instantly hit the tennis ball back.

Tap tap. Yukimura's purple hair fluttered, and the jacket on his shoulders rustled. His figure had already reached the landing point of the tennis ball, and he immediately swung his racket.

Bang. The sound of the racket colliding with the tennis ball was transmitted, and the tennis ball flew out like an arrow leaving the string. The air currents in the air were instantly split apart.

Amazing spin appeared again!

Shuji Tanegashima didn't hesitate and stepped forward again.

A thick cloud of dust spread again, and the air currents of the entire court became chaotic, forming sharp gusts of air.

A tearing sound came from the air, and the tennis ball flew out with a white vortex of air.

At the same time, that purple figure appeared again in Shuji Tanegashima's eyes.

"Is it the same as just now?"

Shuji Tanegashima's eyes narrowed slightly, and the racket in his hand had already been raised.

Ishida... Before the tennis ball even had a landing point, Yukimura hit it back.

"Want to score using the same method?"

Shuji Tanegashima's expression paused. At the instant the tennis ball was about to fly out from his side, the racket in his hand instantly changed the direction of the hit.

Dong—

In an instant, Shuji Tanegashima caught the tennis ball from behind, and then ripples spread out.

Like ripples on a calm lake surface, with Shuji Tanegashima as the center, the ripples constantly spread out to the surroundings. Tap tap tap—

The tennis ball landed beside Yukimura's feet without warning, making a bouncing sound.

"30:30!"

A smile appeared on Shuji Tanegashima's face as he said to Yukimura.

Yukimura looked at the tennis ball at his feet, his purple pupils shrinking slightly.

"It's coming!"

Kazuya Irie said: "Shuji's Mu!"

To turn all of the opponent's moves into nothing, this is Shuji Tanegashima's Annihilation!

"Annihilation..." Jujiro Oni looked at Kazuya Irie, a solemn look in his eyes. He had fought against Kazuya Irie before, and even he had no way to break through Shuji Tanegashima's Annihilation.

No one knew this better than Jujiro Oni.

"Is this Annihilation?"

Hōōin Byōdōin thought, looking at Shuji Tanegashima.

"A very strong ability."

Kogetsu Ochi's voice was still calm. Even though Annihilation was very strong, Kogetsu Ochi's gaze was always on Yukimura.

When Shuji Tanegashima used Annihilation just now, Kogetsu Ochi saw Yukimura move a little. To put it in one sentence, his eyes saw it, but his body couldn't act, or rather, he didn't have time to act.

Kogetsu Ochi saw Yukimura's movements just now, and he had already thought of it.

"Senior's ability is really amazing."

Yukimura looked at Shuji Tanegashima on the other side and praised him. Shuji Tanegashima shrugged his shoulders and squinted his eyes as he said: "Your ability is also very strong. That kind of speed of prediction is also one of your abilities, right?"

Although Yukimura didn't use any flashy techniques, his own strength was very strong.

Or rather, Yukimura didn't need those flashy techniques at all. Like Sanada's Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Yin, Thunder Mysteries, these techniques were like chicken ribs to Yukimura, without any effect.

Yukimura himself could return these techniques, and with even greater power.

If Yukimura wanted to practice, it would be no exaggeration to say that he could learn any technique.

"You could say that."

Yukimura nodded when he heard Shuji Tanegashima's words.

"So that's how it is?"

A gleam of light appeared in Shuji Tanegashima's eyes after hearing Yukimura's admission.

"Is this his ability?"

Hōōin Byōdōin, Jujiro Oni, Kazuya Irie, and Kogetsu Ochi began to think, what kind of ability could achieve this speed of prediction?

"I'm going to serve, Senior."

Yukimura held the tennis ball in his hand, tapped it on the ground, and said to Shuji Tanegashima.

"Come on!"

Shuji Tanegashima lowered his center of gravity, his expression returning to seriousness and earnestness.
