The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 83

"Bang!"

A fiercely contested shot drifted out of bounds.

Kikumaru Eiji-Oishi Shuichiro was stunned.

"Game Likai..."

Despite being exhausted, Niou Masaharu still managed to score a beautiful goal.

Yagyu Hiroshi's actions were deeply hurtful and ignited Niou Masaharu's indomitable spirit.

The Seigaku students fell silent.

Both doubles matches ended in defeat. Inoue Mori recalled that Rikkai had also lost both doubles matches between Hyotei and Rikkai.

From this perspective, Seigaku's situation is far from ideal.

They can't even beat Rikkai, let alone Hyotei.

Everyone had the same idea in their minds.

The atmosphere somber, but over there, Genichiro Sanada didn't care about such things.

He stood up abruptly and took off his coat.

"That Sanada, he's stood up."

Satoshi Horio pointed at Sanada and shouted.

"Yes, in the match against Hyotei, Sanada came out as the third singles player and turned the tide."

Kawamura Takashi's tone was somewhat naive, yet it carried a hint of praise.

"Sanada is going to play, what should the coach do?"

Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses.

Fuji Syusuke looked at Echizen Ryoma: "Actually, Echizen really wants to play, doesn't he?"

"I don't care," Ryoma Echizen stubbornly replied.

But who wouldn't want to beat someone who claims to be the number one ranked tennis player in high school?

More importantly, Ryoma Echizen wanted to use this to test his new special move.

"Echizen, what are you waiting for?"

"Ryuzaki Sumire shouted."

Ryoma Echizen paused for a moment, then stood up from his seat with a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Little one, you've really picked a big boss."

Eiji Kikumaru seemed to be in a good mood, at least he had overcome his weaknesses before the finals, and he had gotten to know Shuichiro Oishi better.

"Echizen, you have to win!" Momoshiro raised his fist in encouragement.

"I will not lose."

Ryoma Echizen was extremely confident.

"What is that guy saying?"

"He claims he won't lose to Sanada? Is he really that strong?"

"Ryoma Echizen of Seigaku is even more popular than Natsume Tsukiya of Hyotei, and that's probably not just talk..."

On the Rikkai University side, different opinions about Echizen Ryoma began to emerge.

Genichiro Sanada was already seething with anger, and when he heard Ryoma Echizen's outrageous behavior, his eyes narrowed slightly, and anger surged into his heart.

As the two walked into the center of the field, the onlookers were even more nervous than the players themselves, all showing expressions of intense interest.

I've heard of you.

Genichiro Sanada spoke first. He knew about Ryoma Echizen even earlier than he knew about Tsukiya Natsume. After all, Ryoma Echizen was a rising star in the Kanto region.

"But I've never heard of you before."

Ryoma Echizen said this on purpose.

"That Echizen kid is still provoking Sanada, huh? He's got guts," Momoshiro Takeshi said with a grin.

"Ah Tao!"

Ryuzaki Sumire turned her face towards him, and gave him a reproach.

"I'm sorry!" Momoshiro Takeshi lowered his head.

Which way?

Ryoma Echizen pressed his finger against the bottom of the racket and asked Genichiro Sanada.

"The other side."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"It's a head-on serve, I'll serve." Ryoma Echizen picked up his racket and stood up, staring at Genichiro Sanada.

Do you think you can beat Hyotei?

Genichiro Sanada suddenly asked a question.

"We, Seigaku, will definitely defeat Hyotei and win the Kanto Tournament championship."

Ryoma Echizen turned and took a few steps, then turned back and added, "And I, absolutely cannot lose to anyone."

"Uh~"

Genichiro Sanada was taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's not bad, actually. I hope your strength matches your boasting."

Ryoma Echizen:

'

'

"Tap tap tap!"

Ryoma Echizen pulled his hat down low and juggled the ball.

"It's the right hand." Ryuki Sakuno held her hands together, looking on with a hint of anticipation.

"Did Echizen use that move as soon as he entered the arena?"

Momoshiro Takeshi remarked, "That's really like him."

call out!

The tennis ball was tossed over his head, and Ryoma Echizen jumped up from the spot. The racket swept over his head, and with a thud, the tennis ball spun violently and flew out.

"Here it comes, topspin serve!"

The three extras from Seigaku shouted in unison.

Genichiro Sanada was already in position, completely unafraid of the incoming ball.

"Bang, tsk tsk tsk~"

The tennis ball slammed into the ground, spinning rapidly, and didn't bounce back for a long time.

"Pfft~"

A piercing sound.

The ball suddenly shot towards Genichiro Sanada's face.

"Is this the topspin serve that reporters have been reporting on so much?"

With a thought flashing through his mind, Sanada Genichiro calmly and deftly swung his racket.

"Snapped!"

"Zero to fifteen!"

Ryoma Echizen always uses his outside spin serve to show off his strength. This was his way of intimidating Ryoma. However, before he could even finish feeling smug, Genichiro Sanada slammed a ball into the court and whizzed past.

He was momentarily stunned.

"So strong!"

Everyone gasped in astonishment: "His topspin serve has absolutely no effect on him."

"Bang!"

After failing with his first shot, Ryoma Echizen immediately launched a second topspin shot to the face.

"Bang!"

Genichiro Sanada retaliated and scored another point: "It's the same no matter how many times you come."

"Bang!"

This time, Ryoma Echizen no longer insisted on topspin serves, and instead rushed to the net after serving.

"Bang!"

"It's a short interception!"

Shouting from the sidelines.

"!"

"Zero to forty!"

"It's completely ineffective. Is this the Sanada style of Rikkai University?"

"Bang! Rikkai's Oo Sanada, score 1-0!"

In the first game, Ryoma Echizen didn't gain any advantage, but he remained completely calm, knowing that this was just the beginning.

"Tap tap tap!"

Genichiro Sanada suddenly grabbed the bouncing tennis ball, glanced at Ryoma Echizen, and thought to himself, "I'll personally verify whether you're really as Tezuka said."

"Bang!"

Genichiro Sanada's serve wasn't his full potential, but it was significantly faster than a normal serve.

Ryoma Echizen was no ordinary player either. His short legs allowed him to run extremely fast, and with his basic one-legged shuffling steps, he caught up in an instant. Despite his small stature, his racket-swinging motion made Sakuno Ryuki blush.

"Bang!"

The two fought fiercely.

"Fifteen to zero!"

"Thirty to zero!"

"40 to 0!"

6

Game Tachikai Ohsanada, the score is two to zero! "

Ryoma Echizen's eyes revealed confusion.

"This won't work, Echizen. If we keep playing like this, we'll never beat Sanada."

"Wow, they're amazing. No wonder they're the three giants of Rikkai University."

"However, Echizen still seems to be smiling."

Ryoma Echizen's momentary confusion turned into a smile, and he felt an unwavering belief in victory.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two players fiercely exchanged dozens of balls.

"Game Tatekai Ohsanada, the score is three to zero!"

This caused quite a stir among the Seigaku members.

Satoshi Horio clutched his head in frustration: "This is no good! Echizen is completely outmatched by him!"

Takashi Kawamura: "Between Rikkai's Sanada and Hyotei's Natsume Tsukiya, who is stronger?"

"Of course..." Momoshiro Takeshi wanted to say it was Sanada, but hesitated. He wasn't sure, after all, they were both there during the match against Kirihara Akaya, and Natsume Tsukiya's strength was terrifying. Fuji Syusuke: "I'd also like to try my hand at the singles number one spot in the Kanto Tournament finals. I wonder if Echizen would agree?"

Inui Sadaharu: "Fuji, you still remember that incident."

Eiji Kikumaru: "Fuji, you really love your younger brother."

Fuji Syusuke smiled: "I just really want to try fighting him."

"Bang!"

The ball hurtled out.

Genichiro Sanada is very dissatisfied with Ryoma Echizen in his current state. If it were a match, it would be fine, but this is not the case.

He had pinned all his hopes on this school.

Defeat Natsume Tsukiya.

Anyone can do it.

At least before they meet in the national tournament, Genichiro Sanada really wants Tsuki Natsume to taste defeat as well.

What do you mean by "treating all opponents equally and shutting them out"?

Sanada felt indignant at the thought and immediately retorted sarcastically to Echizen Ryoma, "The pillar of Seigaku!"

"Uh~"

Ryoma Echizen was taken aback. He valued Kunimitsu Tezuka highly, and only he understood the weight of those words.

Unexpectedly, these words came from Sanada of Rikkai University.

"Can this really be the backbone of Seigaku?"

Genichiro Sanada's brows furrowed with anger as he loudly questioned him.

"ah!"

Ryoma Echizen suddenly galloped forward.

The resentment in his heart surged to its peak.

"Bang!"

Ryoma Echizen suddenly burst into action, scoring a goal into Sanada's field.

Sanada turned his head and frowned slightly.

'

Echizen Ryu began to become fierce.

Genichiro Sanada's anger was also at its peak. He stretched out his racket and suddenly became full of wolfish momentum.

"Did you feel it? Something has passed away."

The Seigaku students were suddenly startled.

Genichiro Sanada struck with overwhelming force, his voice like a sharp crack against cold metal.

"Bang!"

A cloud of dust.

Ryoma Echizen was still moving forward when his attention was drawn to the explosion behind him. He stumbled a few steps before stopping, his heart suddenly pounding with fear.

"What did he just do?"

The Seigaku members were stunned into silence.

"I can't see the swing!"

"The invisible swing!"

"It's too fast, my eyes can't keep up with his speed." Kikumaru Eiji rubbed his eyes.

"But why does he look unhappy even after scoring?" Takashi Kawamura asked.

Everyone was confused.

Genichiro Sanada's expression was extremely cold and stern.

"Ryoma Echizen, this match should have been played in front of everyone."

With a deep sense of resentment, Sanada Genichiro said, "The team that should be standing opposite you is Rikkai. Let me end this match today..."

"

Genichiro Sanada couldn't stand the fact that Rikkai was defeated by Hyotei. Group A, the "group of death," consists of Rikkai, Fudomine, Yamabuki, and Hyotei, which is better than Group B. The match between Group A and Group B will definitely be between the top teams from both sides.

Rikkai University should be number one in Area A, and they should defeat Seigaku to win the championship.

Who knew that Hyotei would interfere?

Sanada held high hopes for Seigaku. If Seigaku defeated Hyotei, whether through sheer skill or sheer luck, and Rikkai defeated Seigaku before the tournament, it would be a victory for them in this Kanto Tournament...

He naturally couldn't share this thought with anyone.

Therefore, Genichiro Sanada is determined to win the match against Ryoma Echizen.

"Bang bang bang!"

The same moves were used repeatedly.

The attack left Echizen Ryoma completely dumbfounded.

"What kind of arrangements are being made?"

Gradually, Ryoma Echizen began to adapt.

"Found it!"

"Bang!"

"Echizen, you still can't score."

"What? He broke my swing, which I couldn't see?"

Genichiro Sanada was both surprised and delighted.

This guy might actually be a match for us.

"what!"

Genichiro Sanada shouted, "Stop joking!!"

"Bang!"

'

Game Rikai Ohsanada, the score is four to zero! "

Ryoma Echizen kept up with Sanada's pace very well, but failed to score any points.

Genichiro Sanada went even further in the next game.

"If I'm going to play tennis, I won't lose to anyone."

Ryoma Echizen roared and leaped into the air. Beside him, a sudden whirlwind appeared in Sanada's eyes, his pupils dilating instantly: "How is this possible?"

"Fifteen to zero!"

"Score."

"Wow, that's amazing! What's that move called?"

'

"A tornado smash?"

"You're amazing, Echizen! Keep it up!"

"Ah~~"

Ryoma Echizen unleashed his signature Tornado Smash, a technique he had mastered in just a few days, and swung it out with a sudden burst of power.

"Thirty to zero!"

"Thirty to fifteen!"

Genichiro Sanada was also unwilling to admit defeat.

He used an invisible tennis ball.

"My God, what kind of move did that guy just use?"

"That kind of team won without even seeing the ball."

"I remember Natsume Tsukiya used it during his fight against Kirihara Akaya, didn't he?!"

"It seems so!"

"However, the two are different..."

'

"How are things? Will you lose?" Sumire Ryuzaki asked during a break.

"I'll lose, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Another invisible swing!"

"Rikkai's three-peat was flawless."

Genichiro Sanada held firm to his belief: defeating Seigaku would make him the champion.

"Bang!"

Ryoma Echizen is even more ferocious.

Neither of them would give in.

"I remember this is a practice match, right?" Kikumaru Eiji said.

"Echizen and Sanada are both very serious."

"These two are really fiercer than ever before."

"What?! I was actually suppressed?" Sanada Genichiro was suddenly shocked. "I was actually suppressed by that guy."

"Stop joking!"

Rikkai had just lost to Hyotei, and if he were to lose to Seigaku today, he would truly lose face. So, he angrily swung his racket and charged forward.

"Match over! Seigaku Echizen wins, score 7-5!"

Genichiro Sanada, stunned by the final shot, froze on the court, momentarily speechless: "How is this possible?!"

"That's great, Echizen, you're amazing."

"Echizen actually defeated Sanada, who was ranked number one in junior high school. That's amazing."

"I knew that kid could do it."

"It made us worry for nothing."

"Sanada-kun, thank you for inspiring our team's confidence."

Ryuzaki Sumire had a big smile on her face.

This match was far more important to Seigaku than any so-called training camp.

"Please don't be so polite."

Genichiro Sanada was very uncomfortable. He had come looking for a good time, but Ryoma Echizen had only made him more annoyed.

However, there were also some positive aspects: the various shortcomings of Seigaku after the training camp were all exposed in the match against Rikkai.

This means that they can quickly correct their mistakes and face Hyotei Academy with a completely new attitude.

After a moment's thought, Genichiro Sanada realized that if that were the case, then all his efforts would not have been in vain!
