Tennis: One look can subdue me, one sword can break the clothes of heaven!

boom!

It was like a flash of purple lightning.

Third-year student Taku Kimura had just taken one step when the ball bounced out of bounds.

He was a little confused for a moment.

I've been playing tennis for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Throughout the game, except for the serve, I didn't even touch the ball. I just watched the ball fly past me!

"Game! Oreki Yuu scores! The score is 6:0!"

As the referee's voice fell, the culprit from the opposite side walked up, smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

"Senior, I'm grateful for your kindness."

Taku Kimura pulled up a somewhat ugly smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.

He is considered an old member of the tennis club, but today a freshman shaved his head. If he were to tell others about this, he would probably be doomed for the rest of his life...

Who is this guy and why is he so powerful?

In fact, he was not the only one who had this idea. Everyone in Group B who had fought against him felt the same way.

This ordinary-looking boy has a ghostly serve.

Just relying on this super fast serve, they swept the games in their half of the zone and were unbeatable!

Privately, some people have given him a nickname, the ghost boy!

It means, the mysterious boy who has mastered the ghostly serve!

Oreki Yu himself didn't care about this. It was just a code name. Let them call it whatever they want. It wouldn't bother him anyway.

So far, 15 small games have been played.

Currently he has a perfect record, accumulating 15 points and ranking first in the group.

This score has actually secured his qualification for the group stage. As far as he knows, most people in Group B have less than 10 points. Currently, there is only one person who can keep up with him.

And this person...

“Oreki-san, are you done too?”

The captain let out a hearty laugh, and it was clear who the person was.

Oreki Yu looked at Marui with a half-smile on his face.

"Yeah, it's almost your turn next."

Marui chuckled and said:

"Confident Oreki-san, are you ready to be defeated by this genius?"

"Who gave you the confidence to talk to me like that?"

"Hey, are you still pretending? But don't worry, when I win the next game, we'll have the same score!"

Marui now has 14 points in total and is the only one who can possibly catch up with Oreki Yuu.

So far, the two of them have not met each other, so there is a high probability that they will meet in the next game.

"How about a bet?"

Seeing that this guy was being stubborn, Oreki Yu suddenly asked.

"What bet?"

"If I win, you'll pay for my lunches next week. If you win, I'll pay for your snacks next week."

When Marui heard that all snacks were included, his eyes lit up, but he did not agree right away.

“Oreki-san, you are too insidious. I won’t be fooled! And my pocket money is enough for me to spend, so there is no need to be greedy.”

"Why, are you afraid of losing?"

Oreki Yuu gave him a look of contempt.

Marui quickly puffed up his face and said unconvincedly:

"I've never lost since I was a kid!"

"Then why don't you dare to bet with me? You must be scared!"

"You...Okay! Let's gamble, but don't cry if you lose."

"It's still unclear who will be crying."

“…We’ll see!”

Marui snorted coldly and made up his mind to teach Oreki Yuu a lesson.

Oreki Yusuke has already started calculating how much food money he can save next week...

Soon, the group round-robin continued.

Just as Oreki Yu expected, his opponent this time was Marui.

In fact, with their outstanding scores, they have already qualified, it’s just a matter of first and second place.

“Oreki-san, just come at me. Others may be afraid of you, but I am not!”

Once on the court, Marui was like a different person, extremely focused and staring at him.

Such a serious look was very different from his previous dozen games. Oreki Yu probably understood it very well in his heart. Although he didn't admit it, he knew that he was extraordinary, so he focused all the time from the beginning.

But...some gaps cannot be overcome just by being serious!

"Well, you better pay attention."

Oreki Yu took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

Then he threw the ball with one hand and swung the racket in the air.

boom!

With a muffled sound, a flash of purple lightning seemed to appear instantly.

The next moment, he had already arrived on the ground behind Marui!

Even though Marui knew that the ball was going very fast, he was still caught off guard.

'game! Oreki Yu! 15:0! '

Marui came back to his senses slightly, glanced sideways at the tennis ball behind him, and the hand holding the racket couldn't help but increase the strength.

"It's really fast..."

This quick serve from Oreki Yu was not the first time he had seen it.

He has been using this ball in the previous interview and other games in the group stage.

So far, no one seems to be able to take it back...

Thinking of this, he continued to stay focused and prepared to receive the ball.

Seeing his focused expression, Oreki Yu couldn't help but smile:

"Why, sweaty? Don't forget lunch next week."

Marui: "..."

The ball flew out of Oreki's hand again, and then turned into a purple electric light!

boom!

'game! Oreki Yu! 30:0! '

boom!

'game! Oreki Yu! 40:0! '

After three consecutive serves, Marui didn't move, but just stared at him closely.

Upon seeing this, Oreki Yu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Still watching? Interesting..."

boom!

The next moment, the serve slipped out of his hands again.

And at this moment, Marui took a sudden step forward.

There was no hesitation in his movements, and he rushed out the moment Oreki Yu served the ball.

It was this reaction speed, which was half a beat faster, that allowed Marui to successfully catch up with the ball!

boom!

There was a loud slapping sound and the ball was pulled back!

only.....

Oreki Yuu looked at the tennis ball flying in the sky, not knowing where it was going, and complained:

"Are you playing baseball?"

Marui was speechless for a moment.

I used too much force...

He was so eager to catch up with the ball that he neglected the strength in his hands...

It seems that if you want to hit this ball back, you need to find the right position...

In the first game, Oreki Yuu won quickly.

In the second game, it was Marui's turn to serve.

Marui originally wanted to find an opportunity to use his secret technique to get a point back from Oreki Yu, but Oreki Yu seemed to see through this and kept hitting long balls, suppressing him near the baseline.

"Damn it, I can't use volleys or short balls..."

boom!

A precise diagonal ball fell, and Oreki Yu scored again.

'Game! Oreki Yuu scores, the score is 2:0!'

"Eh, that's it? Marui, weren't you very confident before?"

Oreki Yu said with a grin.

When Marui heard this, a number popped up on his forehead.

What a damned fellow Oreki Yuu!

"Don't be too happy too soon!"

"Don't cry if you lose later."

"you......"

Marui gas knot.

Oreki Yusuke found it funny.

I didn't expect this guy to have such a stubborn side.

He liked to see this guy clearly wanting to beat him up but being unable to do anything about it.

Marui in the original work never had the chance to show this kind of expression!
