The Prince of Tennis, Talent Replication

Chapter 91

"Bang!"

Fuji Syusuke was slightly surprised, but he returned the ball with a sharp and powerful shot.

"!"

"Look, the attack has reached the other side."

Outside the arena, someone pointed and shouted.

Driven by inertia, Fuji Syusuke remained vigilantly defending the left corner, but unexpectedly, Natsume Tsukiya launched an extremely tricky attack, sending the mayfly-like tennis ball flying to the right corner.

"Zero to fifteen!"

Unable to intercept the ball in time, the point was ultimately lost.

"Fuji-senpai lost the first point right away."

"Natsume Tsuki from Hyotei is indeed not someone who can be easily defeated."

"It's only the first point, Fuji-senpai will definitely catch up."

blah blah blah!

Fuji Syusuke already had a plan in mind and tossed the ball up.

"Bang!"

"Still in the corner!"

Fuji Syusuke was quick-witted and agile, as if he were wearing boots of speed, and chased after them in an instant.

"Bang!"

That was a good save. "Which side will we shoot next?"

Fuji Syusuke stood still, his gaze fixed on Natsume Tsukiya's racket, ready to react immediately to the slightest movement from his opponent.

"It didn't move!"

With the tennis ball almost in front of him, Natsume Tsukiya still hadn't started swinging his racket.

"Bang!"

It finally moved! It's on the right, just as I expected...

Fuji Syusuke instantly rushed to the right.

"Whoosh~"

A smooth beam of light meandered before his eyes, and Fuji Syusuke was suddenly shocked: "What? It actually turned a corner."

With a sudden thud, Fuji Syusuke's sneakers came to a stop, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The crowd outside the arena was already stunned, and then their hearts were filled with excitement.

"That's amazing! That ball seemed to have eyes; it turned on its own halfway through the race."

"Natsume Tsukiya, as expected, is not someone you can just fight casually."

"Even the geniuses of Seigaku can't handle this?"

Fuji Syusuke reacted quickly and caught up in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

This time, there was no time to calculate tricky angles, so they could only rely on their instincts to retaliate against Natsume Tsukiya.

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsukiya casually swung his hand, his counterattack drawing another arc as he veered to the right.

Fuji Syusuke thought to himself that this ball might also deviate midway, and he became more measured in his movements, not daring to rush too aggressively.

"Snapped!"

"Zero to thirty"

The estimate in his mind still affected the speed of chasing the ball, but that was not a reason to lose points. To Fuji Syusuke's surprise, that ball suddenly accelerated at the same position.

Fuji Syusuke looked at Natsume Tsukiya in surprise.

This person in front of me is indeed not someone who can be easily defeated.

Only those who have fought against him truly know how strong this person is.

But those off the field who weren't as perceptive were completely baffled by this play: "Fuji-senpai should have been able to receive that ball, right?"

"The distance between the two lines shouldn't be a problem for Fuji-senpai at his speed. Did he discover something along the way?"

"6

'

Lihai People:

Niou Masaharu: "You all saw it, didn't you?"

"That guy can actually control his speed, what a terrifying ability." Jackal Kuwahara exclaimed in shock.

Genichiro Sanada frowned deeply.

"Oh dear, what a pity."

The expression on Guan Yuechu's face was filled with regret for that last shot, which was vividly displayed in front of Fuji Yumiko.

Fuji Yuta's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. This guy, Kanzuki, is like a completely different person.

"Shusuke..." Fuji Yumiko called out from afar, her voice soft with concern and worry.

"6

'

"Bang!"

Fuji Syusuke has two serve opportunities remaining.

After this attack, he had unleashed 80% of his normal athletic potential.

Natsume Tsukiya retaliated fiercely, his attack still as straight as a ray of light, aimed directly at the bottom line.

Despite Fuji Shusuke pushing him to near the absolute bottom line, it was still the same.

"The Seigaku students actually stepped back so far, leaving the front empty."

"Yes, a good opportunity."

"Attack his frontcourt."

It seems everyone knows that as long as you play in the frontcourt, you can win.

Fuji Syusuke was also uneasy. He was gambling that the other side was living in a world that outsiders could not understand.

When the ball flew over as Fuji Shusuke stood firm at the baseline, he knew he had made the right bet.

At the very least, the opponent must defeat him near the baseline in this match!

That makes things much easier. *Bang!*

Fuji Syusuke stood near the center of the baseline, which was just the right distance from both sides.

There was a lot of discussion off the field, but no matter what, Natsume Tsuki still insisted on hitting the ball to the two corners of the baseline.

Bang!

Fuji Syusuke sprinted to the left, and with a whoosh, the tennis ball traced a long, narrow arc, turning to the right.

"Snapped!"

His ability to control the ball, with its striking point and the ability to create a cross-section between the two lines, greatly surprised Fuji Syusuke.

"That guy, he can control the ball to that extent, he's really something."

Rikkai University's Yagyu Hiroshi exclaimed in surprise.

"Pfft~"

Niou Masaharu scoffed, thinking to himself, "If you'd ever seen him hit water droplets with the tiny mesh of his racket, you wouldn't be surprised by his ball control."

Niou Masaharu recalled that day, then looked at Sanada Genichiro.

Genichiro Sanada only twitched his eyebrows slightly.

"We can catch up."

Fuji Syusuke saw that the ball hit the corner, but he thought he could catch up, and then he heard a loud bang.

Then, with a whoosh.

The ball that hit the ground bounced back in the opposite direction during the brief moment when Fuji Syusuke swung his racket, grazing his nose and flying towards Natsume Tsukiya.

"What?"

His pupils seemed to tremble slightly.

On the opposite side, Natsume Tsuki also reached out and caught the ball that had bounced back from Fuji Syusuke's corner with a "snap".

The scene was completely silent!

The wind blew past Fuji Syusuke's ear, and the shock he felt was beyond words.

"It's... "

'

Momoshiro Takeshi stared at the field and exclaimed in surprise, "One of Fuji-senpai's three types of returns..."

"White whale!!" Kaoru Kaidou added.

"A white whale?" Kikumaru Eiji couldn't believe it.

Inui Sadaharu paused for a moment, first looking at Natsume Tsukiya, then glancing at Fuji Syusuke, before saying, "If you rotate the angle of Natsume Tsukiya's move by ninety degrees, it will fly into the sky, and then it will look similar to Fuji's White Whale. In addition, it will also bounce the ball back to the hand, so you could say it's another White Whale."

"How could this be? How did Natsume Tsukiya from Hyotei High School learn the special skills of our school's seniors?"

Satoshi Horio shouted.

Katsuro Kato: "Is Fuji-senpai's white whale easy to imitate?"

Sadaharu Inui: "Fuji's tennis skills are the kind that are very delicate, just like him. It requires a lot of micro-management with superb control."

"No matter what, that guy always uses up his return ball before Fuji can use White Whale."

"Kawamura Takashi said.

Akira Kamio: "Oh, so it's Fuji's White Whale from Seigaku."

Kippei Tachibana: "It's not that simple. Natsume Tsukiya also used it, so it's clearly a more powerful type..."

'

Outside the arena, there were sounds of surprise, cheers, and praise, but no matter what the sounds were, they could not drown out the voices of Fuji Syusuke.

Although Natsume Tsukiya of Hyotei is not quite as good as his White Whale, the kind of shot he hits is so tricky that you can only understand how difficult it is by playing against him.

A perfectly straight triangle!

Fuji Syusuke felt that the line of motion he was running along was the third side of Natsume Tsukiya's triangle.

Next, arcs were drawn within the triangles, and then a beluga whale-like technique was added to these.

This progressive approach led Fuji Syusuke to feel that he was constantly chasing after Natsume Tsukiya's plans.

This feeling was awful. "What kind of shot will I hit next?" he wondered.

Such a thought flashed into Fuji Syusuke's mind.

Fuji Syusuke raised his head and looked over.

"Zero to forty!"

The referee's clear tone conveyed the judgment he least wanted to hear.

"Tap tap tap~"

Fuji Syusuke kept catching the balls as they bounced down, feeling quite unhappy.

He seemed to have heard someone say that every unique skill is an honor that cannot be taken away from oneself, and his own white whale was no different.

"call out!"

With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the ball into the blue sky.

I really want to see!

"Bang!"

This time, Fuji Syusuke increased his strength even further.

"Look!" Horio Satoshi shouted, pointing at Natsume Tsukiya's movements on the court.

"That posture..."

'

Kaidou Kaoru was suddenly shocked: "Is that my Spiral Serpent Ball?"

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsukiya also flicked his wrist, creating a ramen-like beam of light that circled the referee's high chair and curved into Fuji Syusuke's backcourt.

"It's Kaidou's snake ball."

Fuji Syusuke is fast and rarely has the opportunity to spar with Kaidou Kaoru, but that doesn't mean he can't catch this kind of snake shot.

"Bang!"

Fuji Syusuke's ball bounced off the ground and slammed into Natsume Tsukiya's court.

"Bang!"

Natsume Tsuki also set his sights on the corner of the court.

At that moment, Fuji Syusuke ran a few steps forward and stood near the second line. Natsume Tsukiya's shot just happened to draw an arc in the middle of the court, circling around his body and turning towards the corner.

Fuji Syusuke was exceptionally fast this time. No matter what, he couldn't let the so-called fake White Whale reappear, otherwise it might cause suspicion that he was imitating Natsume Tsukiya. Not everyone knows that the White Whale is his special move.

"ah!"

Fuji Syusuke is really going all out this time.

"Snap!" A sound was heard.

Fuji Syusuke stretched out his racket towards the ball.

I can receive it!

"call out!"

"What?"

Fuji Syusuke could clearly see that the ball was just a hair's breadth away from hitting the racket; it had almost grazed the racket face.

"Look, it's flying back!"

Someone shouted from outside the field.

Fuji Syusuke immediately adjusted his body and looked at the ball. He saw that after leaving Fuji Syusuke's racket, the ball circled the baseline in the back half of the court, made a large arc, flew from under the referee's chair, and flew back to Natsume Tsukiya's court.

"Snapped!"

It hit the ground, bounced up, and landed in Natsume Tsukiya's hand.

"What?"

Even Fuji Syusuke was shocked.

He has always boasted that his ball skills are second to none.

'

The entire audience was stunned.

"That's... a snake whale?"

Satoshi Horio looked on in surprise and stammered.

"A snake whale??"

The Seigaku students all turned to Horio Satoshi.

"Seniors..." Horio Satoshi huddled up.

Takeshi Momoshiro: "What snake-whale?"

Satoshi Horio then said, "Fuji-senpai's white whale, plus Kaidou-senpai's snake ball..."

'

"A snake whale?!"

Everyone was startled.

"That guy actually managed to combine Fuji-senpai's White Whale and Viper's Spiral Serpent Ball into one ball."

Momoshiro Takeshi looked surprised, but also somewhat unwilling.

"That guy is really something else." - Takashi Kawamura

"Hey, did you hear? That ball we just played was called something like 'Snake Whale'."

"What snake whale?"

"That's right, snakes and whales."

"This move looks pretty good."

The noise spread throughout the surroundings, and the name "Snake Whale" quickly resounded throughout the entire venue.

"Brother, that guy is really tough," Fuji Yuta reminded himself.

Guan Yuechu: "That guy is definitely not to be underestimated."

Yumiko Fuji: "I didn't expect that even Shusuke couldn't do anything about him."

Guan Yuechu quickly chimed in, "Actually, if Shusuke gets serious, he does have a chance. This is only the first round."

Yumiko Fuji didn't reply, and instead looked towards Tsukiya Natsume.

"Game: Hyotei Natsume, Score 0 to 1!"

"Let's switch venues!"

"6

It was only then that Fuji Syusuke came to his senses.

"That's a cool move."

"Hey, that last shot, you first used that Spin Snake Shot, then it was returned, and then you used the Spin Snake Whale, and finally the ball returned to your hand, right?"

"So, does that mean the ball flew around in a circle?"

"That Natsume Tsukiya is really something else. No wonder Hyotei was able to defeat Rikkai High School."

Amidst a cacophony of voices, Fuji Syusuke only heard that he had lost his serve.

Losing a service game is a serious matter for an average player.

Because the opponent might serve unexpectedly, scoring directly and widening the score gap.

However, Fuji Syusuke didn't seem to care much about it.

He stood in front of Ryuzaki Sumire.

"How was it? The opponent is pretty strong, isn't he?"

Ryuzaki Sumire glanced at Natsume Tsukiya and asked.

"Yes, it's very strong," Fuji Syusuke said with a forced smile.

Ryuzaki Sumire was silent for a moment, then asked, "Can you handle it?"

"OK."

Fuji Syusuke smiled.

"Please invite both players to enter the arena."

They've already started urging us.

As Ryuzaki Sumire watched Fuji Syusuke enter the arena, her brow furrowed slightly. In fact, in all her time teaching Seigaku, she had never seen Fuji Syusuke so serious...

However, she couldn't do anything to alleviate this burden.

They didn't even offer a single suggestion.

She had clearly seen the match just now; the opponent was able to combine two of her team members' signature techniques, which showed that the Seigaku team members were under a lot of pressure.

Furthermore, if this were an ordinary match, Fuji Syusuke might have fared better, but this match is the decisive battle for the Kanto Tournament championship.

Seigaku desperately needs this championship. Just as Oishi said before the tournament started, Seigaku must defeat Hyotei and win the Kanto Tournament!

"Natsume Tsukiya!"

"Natsume Tsukiya!"

"Natsume, I love you!"

The shouts from the sidelines were very loud.

Natsume Tsukiya grabbed the ball; it was his serve!
