SWNOVELXO Chapter 161 The Challenge of ‘Inheritance’
Looking at the unpredictable trajectory of the tennis ball... the junior high school students outside the court invariably turned their attention to the wooden hand. The trajectory of the ball made them feel familiar inexplicably.
Kute, who was being watched by everyone, just silently looked at Byodoin Phoenix who performed this move on the field, his eyes full of desire for this move. He knew very well that his moves only looked similar to the ball played by Byodo-in. If it were really compared to its power, it could be said to be far behind...
"It's one of the moves commonly used by Byodo-in in junior high school!" I haven't seen it for a long time~ Tanejima Shuji was lying lazily on the railing.
“Indian snake charmer!”
Oni Jujiro, who also knew Byodoin's move, said the name of the move in a calm tone. Although Byodoin used this move to score a goal, in fact this move did not have much effect on Tokugawa.
For players of their level, except for the power of another dimension or special moves such as mental power, aura, and moves with unknown power, there is almost no threat... ...They will use these frequently just because these moves are less expensive and burdensome, and sometimes they are quite easy to use.
……
On the court, Tokugawa pursed his lips as he looked at the tennis ball falling on the ground, and then threw the tennis ball upward.
"Bang——" sound.
Accompanied by colorful lights, the tennis ball flew towards the location of Byodoin. And a 'Rainbow Bridge' was left in the sky.
The phantom serve... looks a bit similar to the light shot, but it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the light shot, and it can only be used to serve... Amamiya Lan rubbed his chin, his eyes were slightly dull, as if Was thinking about something.
"Symphony serve... This kind of trick is useless!" Byodoin ran to the predicted landing point to fight back, but what he didn't expect was that he was a step slower.
Looking at the rolling tennis ball, Byodoin's eyes showed a little surprise. Originally seeing Tokugawa assuming the stance of Asura Shinto but failing to use that kind of power, he was somewhat disappointed... He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise...
"It's interesting..." Looking at the tennis ball rolling down to his feet, Byodoin's lips curled up into a smile that didn't contain sarcasm.
Then, he looked up at Tokugawa again, "But...that's it, are you thinking too simply..."
"..." Tokugawa, who was standing opposite Byodo-in, raised his vigilance the moment he raised his head. After discovering that Byodo-in was just asking a casual question, he did not relax. Instead, he still maintained a posture of waiting with both hands clasped. Replied with a firm tone, "Isn't it too simple...you will know later!"
"Ha--really? Then let me see it for you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the tennis ball flew out at lightning speed after contacting the racket in He Tingyuan's hand.
Tokugawa, who was already prepared, also found the right opportunity to fight back.
……
"boom--"
"boom--"
"boom--"
……
Even as the two of them were going back and forth and refusing to give in to each other, the score between the two was constantly rising alternately.
The rising dust and the increasing number of potholes on the field are enough to show how intense the competition between the two is.
……
"Bravo!"
"Is this a competition between the best U-17 players?"
Some people in the middle and lower levels of the junior high school student group couldn't help but whisper.
As the referee announced that the score between the two was 6-6 and entering the tie-break, Oni Jujiro and Irie Kanata's faces outside the court were filled with relief.
"Ghost..." Irie's eyes were full of hope and expectation, "Tokugawa, you can do it!"
"Ah." Oni Jujiro also felt the same way. Looking at the score of 6 to 6 on the field, he couldn't help but admire, "We are already neck and neck! Tokugawa..."
monitoring room
The members of the coaching staff, who had returned indoors before the match between Byodoin and Tokugawa, were surrounding the monitor. They watched the two players' match from all angles through the ubiquitous cameras inside the base.
"Kurobe, Takuhi!" Saito, the spiritual coach, called out to his two colleagues excitedly, "Tokugawa might be able to defeat Byodoin and succeed in taking the No. 1 position!"
"Ahahaha... I feel the same way!" After hearing Saito's words, fitness coach Takuchi, who had the same feeling, gave a unanimous answer.
However, Kurobe, as the head coach, had a different view. He crossed his fingers with his hands, propped his arms on the table, and frowned, "Don't you think this scene in front of you is familiar?"
Hearing Coach Kurobe's question, Coach Saito and Coach Takuze looked at each other in silence for a while, neither of them thought of anything.
Coach Kurobe helplessly raised his forehead and reminded, "The fateful showdown two years ago."
The brain automatically captured the keywords 'two years ago' and 'fateful showdown', and Saito and Takashi fell into thinking.
Not long after, both of them had shocked expressions. They remembered the match between Byodoin and Oni Jujiro when they entered the U-17 training base two years ago.
The same six to six, the same tie-break... I remember that the challenger at that time was Byodoin Phoenix, who had mastered the light ball, and the challenger was the former No. 1 Oni Jujiro...
At that time, after hitting the ball with light at Byodo-in, the glowing ball was intercepted by Oni's racket, but the powerful 'aura' it exuded still left a mark on the wall behind Oni Jujiro. A big hole... Moreover, there were scars on the left side of the ghost's face...
However, it was an intercepted ball after all, so with Oni Jujiro's efforts, the ball was counterattacked. The ball that was hit back not only carried some of the power of the light ball hit by Byodo-in that had not completely dissipated, but also had the power of the 'Kishin' added by Oni Jujiro...
When the ball went down, bright red blood began to flow out from Byodoin's forehead, just like the left side of Oni's face.
……
"That was really a showdown where lives were on the line!" At this point, Coach Kurobe's memory of Byodoin's words of 'life on the line' became clearer in his mind.
Look at today's game again... Coach Kurobe couldn't help but laugh. This is really a kind of inheritance!
The same bet on 'life'...
After Saito and Takuhi had almost exhausted the memories in their minds, Coach Kurobe turned around and looked at them and asked: "Do you really think that after seeing the power of ghosts and gods that day... Will Byodoin Phoenix, which is from another dimension and won No. 1 in the subsequent competition, lose to Tokugawa?"
There was a hint of ridicule in Coach Kurobe's tone, but Coach Saito and Coach Takuze, who had been with him for a long time, immediately heard it. Both of them showed embarrassed expressions, and then couldn't help but cover their faces.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Coach Kurobe had no intention of continuing. He shook his head, then turned around and continued watching the game on the central court.
