Chapter 158 Seeking Change
Facing Sanada, who was surrounded by a black and unknown aura, Taneshima, who looked a little more serious, took the racket and easily returned Sanada's shot.
Sanada had a surprised expression on his face as the ball that was able to score consecutively in the hands of Ryuji Oguri was easily knocked back by Shuji Tanejima.
Looking at the surprised expressions of the two junior high school students on the field, Oni Jujiro explained expressionlessly, "Taneshima's 'no' is a special skill that can turn all moves into nothingness..."
"Will all the moves be turned into nothingness?" Sanada murmured to himself, clenching the racket with both hands, and said firmly, "I... will definitely tear him to pieces!"
Saying this, Sanada swung the racket and served again.
"boom--"
The yellow ball was easily blocked by Taneshima using 'no'.
Seeing this, Niou leaned against Yagyu outside the court and said lazily, "At that time, Irie-senpai seemed to have said that Tanejima-senpai had the talent of being able to quickly respond to the information detected through vision to his wrist..."
Hearing Niou's words, a white light flashed on Yagyu's lenses. He nodded imperceptibly, and then showed a look of understanding.
Sanada on the court saw that after Taneshima successfully resisted his attack, he predicted the landing point of the tennis ball when he hit back. At this time, he was trying hard to run to the position he predicted.
Unfortunately, as Taneshima said "Nothing is gone", the tennis ball gently fell in front of Sanada.
At this time, Oni Jujiro outside the court said meaningfully at a volume that Sanada and Akutsu could hear, "He is the only person I cannot defeat in this training camp..."
Oni Jujiro's words put more pressure on Sanada and Akutsu, but neither of them was easily overwhelmed by pressure. With these pressures, the two of them became more and more courageous.
Unfortunately, even so, they couldn't score from Taneshima.
"I won't lose~" Zaneshima stuck out his tongue, his eyes full of cunning.
Seeing the familiar lazy temperament permeating Taneshima... Sanada couldn't help but clenched his fists.
As if he suddenly became interested in Sanada, he walked to the edge of the net and exchanged some rock-paper-scissors words with Sanada. Of course, Sanada... didn't win a single game. After that, Taneshima started to 'test' Sanada again. responsiveness.
In the meantime, Taneshima stretched out a finger and muttered "face...", and Sanada... seemed to be controlled. Whichever way Taneshima's finger pointed, his eyes turned to that direction.
"Yeah, yeah~ This game doesn't let you follow my fingers with your eyes..." Taneshima said somewhat helplessly, but his tone was also full of teasing.
Sanada, on the other hand, couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or some other reason, his face turned red. Of course he knows that this friendship requires that the eyes and fingers are in the opposite direction...
Kirihara outside the court couldn't help but sigh when he saw Sanada's performance, "Deputy Minister Sanada... is so weak..."
On the court, Sanada was so angry that he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said dryly, "We are still playing!!!"
However, Taneshima looked indifferent and said casually, "You can't even beat me in rock, paper, scissors... let alone tennis."
After hearing Taneshima's words, Akutsu couldn't help but push Sanada away. He walked straight to the net and said, "Let me compete!"
"Oh~ It looks like we have something fun again~" The curve of the corner of Zaneshima's mouth widened.
The same process as before with Sanada, it was rock, paper, scissors first, and as expected, Akutsu still lost to Tanejima.
However, in the next game, Akutsu restrained his instinctive reaction, so Taneshima did not win, and of course Akutsu did not win.
Seeing this, Taneshima was very interested and wanted to play a few more rounds to see if it was luck or something else... Unfortunately, Omagari Ryuji stopped Taneshima's idea directly.
"Please stop it a little bit!" Daqu Ryuji looked calm, but his words contained a hint of gritted teeth.
"Hey~" Taneshima looked at Daqu and sighed, then returned to his seriousness and said to Akutsu, "You can be proud, you are the only person I have not defeated in this game~"
Hearing this, Akutsu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "I didn't win either, did I?!"
"Huh?" Taneshima looked up at Akutsu and Sanada behind him.
At this time, Akutsu's voice happened to be heard, "But, we will not lose..."
When Taneshima looked over, Akutsu and Sanada had a good understanding of each other and showed a faint smile.
Soon, after stopping the non-tennis-related games, the game continued.
Neither Sanada's counterattack nor Akutsu's counterattack could break Tanejima's defense. Facing Tanegashima's counterattack...Akutsu tried to counterattack again and again, but almost every time he missed the ball. He threw himself on the ground again and again because he wanted to successfully counterattack Tanegashima's ball.
"I can't touch the ball at all..."
I don’t know who sighed like this outside the court.
Hearing this, Zaneshima said as if this was normal, "Isn't it natural? I made them fall out of reach..."
Sanada, who was standing in the second half, also rarely said to Akutsu in a teasing tone, "It's completely out of reach..."
"You're so noisy!" Akutsu got up from the ground, "Next time, I will get closer to them little by little!"
……
In the next game, Omagari served, and then Sanada counterattacked with a black dragon chop. After that, Tanejima used "Kisu Mu" to intercept Sanada's attack and hit the ball back. Finally, Akutsu threw himself on the ground because he couldn't reach the ball... …
again and again.
The distance between Akutsu and the ball is also slowly getting closer.
95cm
……
75cm
……
While Akutsu was trying his best to hit back Tanegashima's ball, Sanada was also thinking about how to change the direction of the tennis ball a few more times...
When Akutsu finally touched the ball, Sanada was also 'lucky' to hit the ball that changed directions multiple times.
The ball was scored smoothly.
Irie, who was outside the court, thought that Tanejima would have difficulty coping with Sanada's upgraded moves, but what he didn't expect was that Sanada only hit this shot by chance.
In the following games, Sanada kept thinking about the feeling of that shot, hoping that he could master the relevant skills as soon as possible. Unfortunately, perhaps because he was too impatient to eat hot tofu, he did not hit the same shot again in this game...
Outside the court, Yukimura, who was watching the doubles match, also guessed Sanada's intention to play doubles and find Akutsu as his partner.
Sanada is a typical tennis player who advocates "frontal attack", "uprightness" and "straight forward". He has always been imprisoned within the rules of tennis common sense. What he needs most now is someone like Akutsu Tennis that is unconstrained and unconstrained by common sense...
"The same goes for Akutsu..." Sengoku Seijun, who had heard the discussion by Tatekai Dai and his group, put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "For Akutsu now, what he needs most is someone like Sanada who dares to face the situation. The tennis match...that's why I accepted Sanada's invitation..." Sengoku Kiyoshi focused his attention on Akutsu who was running hard to hit the ball on the court, and couldn't help but show some concern in his eyes.
