I'm in NetKing, and I have a tennis mini-game

Chapter 64 The sense of oppression between the two heroes of Kyushu (1st update)
"Is it him (Mr. X)?"

The moment they saw Ishikawa, Kamio and Ibu from Fudomine, Tachibana outside the stadium, and Izumi and Fukawa as spectators all showed surprised expressions.

"How, how is it possible!"

Kamio and Iwu looked at each other and saw the shock in the other's eyes.

That mysterious and powerful ruler of the street tennis court is actually a member of Ice Emperor?

"Oh?"

When he heard the exclamations of several people, Inoue said in surprise: "Mr. X? Is he the very mysterious master at the nearby street tennis court?"

"Yes."

Qian on the side nodded with a complex expression: "He is very strong, at least as good as the average top Kanto-level player!"

The top Kanto class?
Hearing this, Inoue raised his eyebrows instinctively.

If it were someone else who said this, he might not believe it, but the other person was Gan, a data tennis master recognized within Qingxue.To be recognized by the opponent, this ice emperor player must not be easy!
Whoa!
At this time, Qian flipped through his information book and found the above data about Ishikawa, and continued: "Ishikawa Shin, 12 years old, first grade in the junior high school of Hyotei Academy, and the main candidate of the tennis club."

"It is rumored that he had never practiced tennis before joining the tennis club."

“But in the first match, we defeated the team’s third-year player.”

"In Hyotei's school trials, he defeated Hiyoshi Waka, Shishito Ryo and Ninzu Yushi in succession, becoming the only member of Group D to win all the games."

"Served as the team leader in the regional qualifiers and led the players to the championship."

As Gan spoke, Inoue opened his mouth wider.

"Is this, such an exaggeration?"

He just knew that Ishikawa was quite famous and was a newcomer within Hyotei who could rival Aogaku Echizen Ryoma.

But did not expect.

The opponent actually has a series of such luxurious records.

In comparison, Echizen, who only defeated Haitang and Qian and became the main candidate of Qingxue, was obviously inferior.

but.

Then he thought about Echizen being the son of the legendary samurai, and Inoue regained his confidence in him.

"and."

Turning his eyes, he looked in the direction of Fudomine, the young boy with a short hair and a steady aura and sharp eyes: "I'm afraid Tachibana is not an ordinary character!"

The outcome of this game is still uncertain.

"Ishikawa?"

on the field.

Shishito, who was about to show off his skills, frowned and looked at the young man behind him: "What's going on? Isn't it arranged for me to play singles 3?"

He is the strongest member of the second team, but because of his status as a regular player, Atobe specially selected him to be a member of the first day of the Tokyo Competition.

Because of his special status, Shishido has always been the team's No. 3 singles player this time.

I thought.

After the Ice King was in crisis this time, he was able to show off his skills and let others see the results of his hard training during this period.Who knew that the name that sounded on the radio was not his at all!

"I'm sorry, senior."

Faced with Shishito's question, Ishikawa smiled and explained: "Before the group finals, I found the minister and specifically asked him that I would play the third singles position!"

"Humph!"

heard.

Shido snorted in displeasure and turned to look at Atobe dissatisfied.The latter smiled faintly. From his perspective, it would be the same no matter who played singles 3.

Atobe even thought for a time that Ishikawa couldn't bear the boredom and specifically asked to play in the last game on the first day.

But look now.

In singles 3, the opponent sent a minister-level figure, obviously for the Ice Emperor's list.On Hyokui's side, the stronger Ishikawa was replaced, but the fight went wrong.

but.

Just when Shishito was unhappy and about to leave, Ishikawa, who passed by him, suddenly said: "What's more, this Kyushu duo Tachibana-senpai is not something you can deal with!"

"what?"

When Shishido heard this, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the short-haired boy on the opposite side of the court: "Kyushu Shuangxiong. Tachibana Juping. Is that him?!!"

Swish!
For an instant.

His originally unhappy expression turned into one of deep shock and fear.

Outside the stadium, Atobe's originally calm expression could no longer be maintained.His sharp eyes were locked on Tachibana.

"Kyushu region, the ace of Shishile Middle School?"

In Atobe's sight, Tachibana's figure with black hair and a cropped head gradually overlapped with the figure with long blond hair in his impression.The Hyokui minister suddenly lost his temper and said, "Why did he show up at the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition?"

Whoa! ! !
at the same time.

The entire stadium also fell into a commotion because Tachibana's identity was pointed out by Ishikawa.

"What, what about Kyushu and Lion Music?"

Izumi and Fukawa from Yulin Middle School said with a confused expression: "Tachibana-senpai, isn't he the director of Fudomine?"

Even Kamio, Ibu, Ishida and other Fudomine members looked stunned and confused.

"Well!"

At this time, Qian, who had recovered from the shock, said in a solemn tone: "Ju Juping, the ace player of Shishi Le Middle School in Kyushu. Last year, under the leadership of him and another Kyushu double hero Chitose, Shishi Le won the national championship. Ranking in the semi-finals!”

"Yes."

Inoue next to him also reacted at this time. He sighed in his heart that he could not recognize the other person. At the same time, he nodded heavily and said: "He is a top player who can be ranked at the forefront of the country in the true sense!"

A top player in the country?
National level? ! !
all of a sudden.

The surrounding audience looked at Tachibana with extremely shocked eyes.

That's a national level!
In the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, the only two people who could win this title were Hyotei's Atobe and Seigaku's Tezuka who was recognized as a professional player!

"Oops, Hyokui is going to lose!"

After some viewers who supported Hyokui reacted, their faces suddenly became nervous.

Yes!

The voices of these people immediately woke up the others.

At this time, the Ice King was not in the same state as when the game started, but had already lost two games in a row.

If they lose this game again, they will only be in the top eight and miss the championship of the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition!
"Tachibana is really good at calculating."

Unable to maintain his composure, Atobe clenched his fists with his hands.

He knew that he had been tricked by the other party.

Without any intention of calculating, Hyotei completely fell into the trap of Fudo Peak.

hateful!

If he had known that the opponent was that Tachibana, he would never have arranged the lineup and so on like this! !
Sudden.

Like thinking of something.

Atobe suddenly looked at the figure walking calmly towards the net on the edge of the court.

Ishikawa!

He was the one who revealed Ju's identity just now!
This kid actually knew Tachibana's identity a long time ago? ! !
Think of this.

Atobe couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, and an uncertain light flashed deep in his eyes: "So, did he take the initiative to ask to play the 3rd position in singles?"

now.

Atobe suddenly couldn't see through the appointed successor.

before the net.

After shaking hands.

Ishikawa and Tachibana looked at each other.

at this time.

In his sight.

A line of message suddenly appeared.

[Jujuping (boss): Lv47]

Different from other people's data information, the minister of Fudo Peak in front of him has a red name.

Boss level player!

"Are you the Ice Emperor's strongest newcomer?"

Tachibana looked at his opponent, smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are very courageous. I just don't know how capable you are!"

Even though he knew his identity, he actively asked to be adjusted to the singles 3 position.Either he is reckless and arrogant, or he has absolute confidence in his own strength.

Tachibana is curious.

Does the boy in front of him, who is rumored to be the strongest newcomer in Tokyo along with Aigaku's Echizen Ryoma, live up to his reputation?

"It's an honor for me to compete with my seniors."

Facing this national-level master, Ishikawa smiled and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Senior, please give me some advice for the competition later."

"it is good!"

Tachibana, who has a bold personality, laughed and nodded.

immediately.

The two guessed the front and back of the letters, decided on the order of serving, and retreated to positions on both sides of the baseline of the court.

"The singles 3 match begins."

"One set determines the outcome."

The referee on the high chair, after confirming the status of both sides, his eyes fell on Tachibana: "Fudomine Tachibana serves, the game is over!"

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Bottom line.Tachibana slapped the tennis ball at a fast pace. He raised his head and his eyes fell on his opponent: "Are you ready, Hyokui's newcomer?"

call!
immediately.

He saw Tachibana throwing the tennis ball into the air, standing on tiptoes, stretching his body, swinging the racket to the highest point and then pressing it down hard.

Bang!
A crisp sound.

The powerful serve shot out, and in an instant, it landed near the outer corner of the service line on Ishikawa's right.

"nice shot!"

Seeing this, Inoue couldn't help but nodded in approval.

The man next to him also nodded secretly.

Although Tachibana's serve does not have any sharp spin, it undoubtedly embodies speed and accuracy very well.

An ordinary player would probably not be able to react.

Bang!
but.

Before those who reacted slower could recover, the tennis ball was blocked by another racket.

"Such reaction speed!"

On the side of Fudo Peak, Ishida, Sakurai and others frowned slightly.

"It seems that this first-year Ice Emperor does have some abilities."

heard.

Kamio and Iwu looked at each other and saw the embarrassment and helplessness in each other's eyes.

Forget about others, how could the two of them not know how strong this new Ice Emperor is.

A month and a half ago.

Even if the two of them worked together, they would be beaten to the left and right by the other side, and they would be in a miserable state.

now.

Seeing Ishikawa blocking Tachibana's serve head-on, the two of them clenched their fists involuntarily.

"Tachibana-senpai will definitely win!"

Although they don't know what the two heroes of Kyushu represent.

But deep down in my heart, I still firmly believe that Tachibana, who has led them all the way through all the obstacles and made Fudomine from an unknown small team to the quarterfinals of the Metropolitan Competition, will definitely win!
"good."

Seeing Ishikawa return his serve, Tachibana nodded slightly: "The reaction ability is passed. Next, let me see your speed."

Bang!
Immediately.

As he approached the tennis ball, he raised his racket and hit the tennis ball straight to the outside corner of Ishikawa's backhand side with a wide angle backhand.

One after another, he hit two different outside corners in succession. Tachibana's ball control ability is extremely shocking!

"Is this national-level strength?"

Seeing that the tennis ball was almost pressed against the intersection of the two boundaries, Inoue's heart skipped a beat: "Such a tricky attack, shouldn't it be possible for Ishikawa?"

however.

He didn't finish his sentence.

Ishikawa's figure suddenly appeared near the landing point of the tennis ball.

"So fast?!!"

Other spectators were also shocked.

"coming."

Seeing Ishikawa approaching the tennis ball and taking a hitting posture, he narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "It's the same when I compete with him. He can always take action in advance."

but.

Gan observed very carefully.

The opponent did not use any technique similar to Echizen's small steps.

This is also what puzzles Miki the most. Ishikawa, who is obviously not very fast, can move in such a short time.

Bang!
At this time.

Tachibana attacked the other side again, braced himself, and carefully observed Ishikawa's response from an outsider's perspective.

"Is he predicting this in advance?!"

When he saw clearly the timing of Ishikawa's activation, Qian was shocked.

Start early!

And that’s even while competing against a national-level player like Tachibana!

Isn't this person too brave?
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In several consecutive rounds of duel, Ishikawa acted like this, and he was stunned.

"interesting."

Tachibana, who also discovered Ishikawa's action pattern, had a flash of admiration in his eyes: "Since you are following me, let me speed up the pace a little!"

Bang!
Thoughts turned.

Tachibana's hitting speed and force suddenly increased a lot.

Tread! !
Ishikawa reacted quickly and blocked the tennis ball back.

Bang!
On the opposite side, Tachibana hit the tennis ball over again without thinking at all.

When Ishikawa fought back, Tachibana repeated the same action.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
on the field.

Tachibana's movements became faster and faster, and his attacks became more fierce. Everyone outside the stadium was shocked.

"This feeling of oppression!!"

Shishido, who put himself into the role of Ishikawa, gradually turned pale after feeling Tachibana's accelerating and storm-like offensive momentum.

He thought of himself.

If Ishikawa hadn't replaced him just now, he would have been beaten so hard by such a strong attack at this time, right?

Looking back at Ishikawa.

Although at a disadvantage, the defense can be said to be watertight.No matter how Tachibana attacks, he can deflect the tennis ball back.

"This kid's resilience is even better than I thought."

Tachibana, who kept attacking but failed to break through, looked calm and composed.

Clearly, he wasn't taking the game seriously at all.

For a national-level master like Tachibana, it takes real skill to deal with a newcomer like the Ice King.If this spreads out, his good friend will definitely laugh at him.

"However, since you can hold on until now, I might as well be a little more serious."

Thoughts turn.

Tachibana's body suddenly activated and jumped out like a cheetah.Approaching the tennis ball, he raised the racket without saying a word, and when the tennis ball hit the ground and bounced, he hit it hard.

boom!
A bang.

The tennis ball flew out at an astonishing speed.

"This half volley!!!"

Outside the stadium, Shishido's eyes widened suddenly.

too fast!
No matter whether it was the timing of the opponent's attack, the burst of action, or the speed and force of the hit, there was no problem at all.

If it were Shishido himself, even after more than a month of intensive practice, he would never be able to hit such a ball.

"Is this the top player in Kyushu?"

Seeing the trajectory of the tennis ball that was so fast that only an afterimage was left, Shishido was extremely shocked.

Not just him, but everyone else too.

Seeing Tachibana's sharp half-volley, they all agreed that this ball would definitely score.

That newcomer of the Ice Emperor is absolutely unstoppable!
The only possible variable is that Tachibana's ball control is reduced and mistakes occur because Tachibana moves too quickly.

Bang.

next moment.

Tennis lands.

People with excellent eyesight like Atobe and Gan all saw the traces pressing on the inside of the bottom line.

within bounds.

Fighting back works!

Think about it, how could a national-level player like Tachibana make mistakes in this kind of competition.

"It seems that I am overthinking it."

Looking at the tennis ball that bounced up quickly after landing, a wry smile appeared on Qian's face: "No matter how powerful that person is, he has no chance of winning against a truly top player, right?!"

But the next moment.

Qian's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Swish!
I saw a silvery luster suddenly appearing in front of the tennis ball's impact point.Immediately afterwards, the silver light quickly moved up and wrapped the tennis ball that had just bounced.

Bang!
A crisp sound.

The pale yellow light shot out again.

With a snap, the tennis ball hit Tachibana's backhand, but the opponent didn't even react.

Look at the landing point again.

Surprisingly, it is also within the bounds.

all of a sudden.

The entire stadium suddenly became quiet.
