#226 - Negotiations begin
The court.
The baseline.
Tap, tap, tap. Siegfried held a tennis ball in his hand, gently bouncing it on the ground. The rhythmic sound of serving echoed, but he never actually served.
"Serve already!"
Bismark frowned at the net.
Hearing this, Siegfried looked at Bismark with some displeasure and said, "Senior Bismark, please don't order me around."
"Even if it's you, Senior, I won't be happy."
"Hurry up!"
Bismark frowned, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face.
But Siegfried became even more dissatisfied: "Senior, I said!"
Whoosh—in an instant.
Siegfried's arm swung up, and with a displeased expression, he swung his racket in Bismark's direction.
Seeing this.
Some people's expressions changed drastically.
Polk frowned.
Q.P. said calmly, "Polk, even if his strength is good, he can't stay on the German team anymore."
"Yes."
Polk said in a deep voice, "I will handle this matter."
At the same time.
Bismark's eyes narrowed.
On the opposite side.
Kimijima Ikuto watched this scene with a playful smile and thought to himself, "Negotiation... successful!"
Immediately, his expression became serious.
He took a step, directly reaching the hitting point, and with force in his arm, he swung his racket the moment the tennis ball bounced!
Bang! The moment the tennis ball touched the racket, a powerful burst of force was generated, sending it flying out like a sharp blade.
Kimijima Ikuto's tennis ball power isn't considered strong on the world stage.
But it's not weak either.
At that moment, as the tennis ball flew.
Kimijima Ikuto directly swapped positions with Kirihara Akaya, moving to the net while Kirihara covered the baseline.
As he rushed towards the net.
Bismark felt a sense of unease.
They definitely have some kind of strategy!
I need to be careful!
But Siegfried remained disdainful.
Standing at the hitting point, the strength in his arm suddenly increased, and he charged up to swing his racket the moment the tennis ball bounced!
The explosive sound of the racket colliding with the tennis ball echoed, and it flew towards the opponent's court like an arrow shot from a bow.
At this moment, the tennis ball flew towards the baseline.
Just as Kirihara Akaya was about to return the shot, he saw Kimijima Ikuto's expression.
In an instant, it seemed like he understood many things.
He pretended to swing, but was actually a step slow.
Subsequently, the tennis ball flew out of the court and crashed into the wall.
"15:0!"
The referee's voice immediately rang out.
"Siegfried!"
"Bismark!"
"King Germany!"
Instantly, overwhelming cheers and applause filled the entire court.
While cheering for the German team, they were also cheering for the two players.
At this moment.
"As expected of the German team, even the new players are so powerful."
Kimijima Ikuto said with a face full of smiles, "What was that ball you used just now? Can you show it to me one more time?"
"Hmph! You're not qualified!"
Siegfried looked at Kimijima Ikuto with disdain.
"Is that so? That's a shame then."
Kimijima Ikuto didn't mind and continued to switch positions with Kirihara Akaya.
Siegfried snorted unhappily and continued to serve.
The tennis ball was tossed high into the air, and at the moment it fell, his eyes darkened: "This kind of trash! Can't even receive my most basic serve! Why does the King Germany team have to compete with this kind of trash team!"
"Just lose the match with a trembling heart!"
In that instant, Siegfried swung his racket!
A piercing explosive sound instantly rang out, and the tennis ball had already passed through the net!
At this moment!
"Where are you hitting the ball!?"
Bismark suddenly shouted.
Hearing this, Siegfried was taken aback and looked towards the service point.
This is!
The tennis ball was currently flying directly towards the baseline where Kimijima Ikuto was located.
Kimijima Ikuto could return the tennis ball without even needing to move.
"Hmph, even so, they won't be able to receive it!"
Siegfried said unhappily, hearing Bismark's words.
They couldn't even receive the previous ball. This ball's power and speed are even greater than before. How could Kimijima Ikuto possibly receive it!
"It's starting, Senior Kimijima's negotiation."
Inside the resting room, Yukimura looked at the screen and said calmly.
"I didn't expect such a simple negotiation to turn the opponent into this."
Irie Kanata smiled slightly and said, "It seems this new player on the German team is a bit too arrogant."
"This arrogance is the reason he will fail."
Mitsuya Akuto pushed up his glasses: "Although the current impact isn't great, the effect will increase as the match continues."
"Moreover, Kimijima's negotiation has only just begun."
Tono Atsukyo said, looking at Kimijima Ikuto.
Tono Atsukyo, who has been playing doubles with Kimijima Ikuto for so long, knows this.
This level doesn't even count as Kimijima Ikuto's negotiation.
Once the bargaining chips have accumulated to a certain point.
This trade will be established.
At that time, all that will need to be repaid is a heavy defeat.
On the court.
Kimijima Ikuto's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his body turned slightly, and he hit the tennis ball the moment it bounced.
Bang! The tennis ball flew towards the opponent's court with a slight spin.
Just then.
Kimijima Ikuto and Kirihara Akaya switched positions again.
Bismark's expression changed: "Siegfried, what are they planning!"
But Siegfried didn't react at all.
"That's why! You seniors are too cautious!"
After saying that, he quickly moved to the hitting point and swung his racket at the tennis ball!
An even stronger ball than before flew to the baseline where Kirihara Akaya was located.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Siegfried's face.
It's that trash again.
He couldn't even receive the previous ball.
There's no way he can receive this ball either!
This point is ours!
Just at this moment.
Kirihara Akaya acted.
The moment he saw Kimijima Ikuto nod slightly, his figure darted out like a cheetah.
He leaped up the moment the tennis ball bounced, and smashed it down when the tennis ball rebounded to its highest point!
Bang! The deafening sound of the hit suddenly rose, and the tennis ball transformed into a powerful cannonball, bursting out!
It directly pierced through to the opponent's undefended baseline!
Subsequently, the tennis ball slammed into the ground, leaving a mark, and flew out of the court!
"15:15!"
The referee announced.
At this moment, Siegfried's expression immediately showed disgust and disdain.
This kind of team actually dared to return this ball?!
He's just a player from a weak team that's about to be at the bottom!
I will definitely make them pay the price!
"Calm down, the opponent is strong!"
Bismark saw Siegfried's expression and immediately came over to say.
But Siegfried couldn't listen to anything at this moment.
"I'm going to kill them!"
Siegfried said fiercely before returning to the baseline.
At this moment, Kimijima Ikuto chuckled and looked at Siegfried.
"Siegfried, you're very strong. You're the only one carrying the doubles match this time."
