#121 - Zero serve
“That's not the Selfless State.”
Yanagi Renji said, "The Selfless State requires a lot of stamina. Tezuka Kunimitsu is well aware of this. Entering the Selfless State again in this situation would be very unwise."
“Moreover, Tezuka Kunimitsu naturally understands this principle.”
These words made the Rikkaidai members' eyes change slightly.
What exactly will Tezuka Kunimitsu do?
On the court.
Tezuka Kunimitsu held the tennis ball in his hand, gently bouncing it on the ground a few times.
Yukimura looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu's actions, a trace of a different color appearing in his purple pupils.
Suddenly, Tezuka Kunimitsu tossed the tennis ball high into the air.
Bang! The instant the tennis ball fell, Tezuka Kunimitsu immediately swung his racket.
An extremely strong spin erupted instantly, and a wisp of blue smoke visible to the naked eye appeared in the air.
Just as the tennis ball passed over the net, it quickly landed.
“Zero-Shiki Serve??"
“That middle school student actually knows the Zero-Shiki Serve??"
“How is that possible!!”
“How can he know that kind of professional-level serve!”
All the tennis reporters were stunned.
The Zero-Shiki Serve can be said to be the closest thing to an unsolvable serve. This kind of serve is very rare even in professional matches.
The Zero-Shiki Serve puts a very heavy burden on one's arm. Constantly using the Zero-Shiki Serve will cause the arm bones to wear down to the point where one can no longer play tennis.
“Zero-Shiki Serve…”
Yukimura revealed a hint of a smile in his purple eyes: "As expected, you have already learned it."
“However, there is no such thing as an unsolvable serve in this world.”
“Even the Zero-Shiki Serve can be returned.”
Rikkaidai vs. Seigaku, third match, the score of Singles 3 is 4:0!
Fifth game, Tezuka Kunimitsu's serve!
Currently, Tezuka Kunimitsu relies on the Zero-Shiki Serve to gain a point, 15:0!
The Zero-Shiki Serve that Tezuka Kunimitsu hit made everyone around him fall into deep thought.
That was a serve comparable to a professional player!
“Even if it's the Zero-Shiki Serve, his opponent is the Child of God!”
‘Yes, if the Child of God wasn't a middle school student now, but a high school student, he probably would have already entered the professional world, right?’
“With the Child of God's talent entering the professional world—I'm afraid even people like Medanoré wouldn't be his opponents.”
Although some tennis reporters were surprised that Tezuka Kunimitsu hit the Zero-Shiki Serve, they didn't think Yukimura would lose.
Yukimura Seiichi defeated Leopold Camus in the U-17 World Cup!
He is also the world's only world-class middle school student!
The world's strongest middle school student!
Even Germany's Q.P. admits that he is not as good as Yukimura, so it can be seen that they simply don't believe that Yukimura will lose this match to Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Professional-level Zero-Shiki Serve?
In Yukimura's eyes, it might be the same as an ordinary serve.
“Go! Captain!!”
In the Seigaku team, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaidoh Kaoru shouted.
Oishi Syuichiro, Fuji Syusuke, Inui Sadaharu, Kikumaru Eiji, and others had extremely serious expressions. They clenched their hands tightly, staring at Yukimura on the court without blinking.
The next moment, he flicked his arm and tossed the tennis ball high into the air again.
“Zero-Shiki Serve!”
Everyone in Rikkaidai's eyes narrowed after seeing Tezuka Kunimitsu's action.
Bang! The instant the racket hit the tennis ball, a crisp hitting sound suddenly rang out.
The tennis ball carried an astonishing spin, drawing a trajectory in the air before heavily landing on the ground.
However, just when everyone thought this ball was about to score a point.
A figure appeared in front of the tennis ball.
“Does he want to return the Zero-Shiki Serve?”
Seeing Yukimura's actions, Fuji Syusuke couldn't help but think: “Can the Zero-Shiki Serve be returned so easily?”
Yukimura had a gentle smile on his face, the tip of the racket in his hand touching the ground, and then, at the instant the tennis ball was about to roll back, Yukimura pushed his arm forward.
Whoosh! The tennis ball was instantly lifted into the air.
“He returned it!!”
Kirihara Akaya shouted excitedly. Although he had never seen a real professional match, he was very clear about the power of the Zero-Shiki Serve.
Now that this basically unsolvable serve was actually returned by the captain, even if the opponent was stronger, it would be impossible to win this match!
Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't show any surprise on his face, as if he had expected Yukimura to return the Zero-Shiki Serve, his body instantly reacted, and he took a step towards the tennis ball's direction.
At the same time, the racket in his hand unfolded, and he immediately swung the racket when the tennis ball passed over the net!
Dong! The sound of the racket colliding with the tennis ball rang out, and the muffled sound spread towards the surroundings.
The next second, Tezuka Kunimitsu had already hit the tennis ball back.
Yukimura chuckled, a gentle smile on his face, looking very calm.
“Tezuka, too slow—”
After saying that, Yukimura had already caught up with the tennis ball.
Bang! The sound of the ball being hit rang out, and the tennis ball pierced through the court like an arrow, bringing with it a sharp airflow, and then quickly passed by Tezuka Kunimitsu's side.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression changed, wanting to counterattack, but his body instantly stiffened in place.
“15:15!”
Then, the referee's voice rang out again.
“He scored a point?”
Kikumaru Eiji widened his eyes and shouted in surprise: “What just happened?”
“The Zero-Shiki Serve was returned.”
Oishi Syuichiro said in a deep voice: “Even this kind of serve can't score a point from that person's hands?”
“The gap is too big—”
Fuji Syusuke sighed and said.
Many tennis reporters around were not surprised at all. On the contrary, they had long expected this scene.
“Even the Zero-Shiki Serve can't get a point from the Child of God's hands!”
“Yes, the Child of God is too strong!!”
“The two people are completely from different dimensions.”
The tennis reporters sighed one after another.
But the match on the court was still continuing.
The overall score is 4:0, and the current score between the two is 15:15!
As long as Rikkaidai wins this Singles 1, then Rikkaidai will advance to the Kanto Tournament finals.
As for who will advance, the many spectators around already have the answer in their hearts.
Rikkaidai cannot lose!
On the court.
Tezuka Kunimitsu took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state.
Yukimura had a calm expression, with a faint gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, looking very calm.
“The match isn't over yet!”
Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes narrowed, and then he directly tossed the tennis ball high into the air.
Bang! The sound of the ball being hit rang out, quickly falling towards Yukimura's court.
Since he knew that the Zero-Shiki Serve couldn't score a point, then he wouldn't use the Zero-Shiki Serve. Moreover, the Zero-Shiki Serve also put a burden on his arm.
