"Illusion? It seems it's not just simple imitation."
Irie Kanata's multi-mirrored eyes held a hint of a smile as he said, "This Niou's ability is very special. If it were just imitation, he wouldn't be able to use abilities like Domain and Sensory Deprivation, but Niou's ability can have a slight effect, proving that Niou can make the illusion even stronger in the future. I'm a little excited."
"I've already thought of many combinations."
Kimijima Ikuto pushed up his glasses: "If he were to play doubles, he should be able to exert a great advantage."
"Yeah, this Niou's ability is very special."
Taneshima Shuji shrugged: "But that's all there is to it. It's still useless in front of my Mu."
In the end.
Only three middle school students remained who had not challenged a First-Year.
Sanada Genichirou!
Tezuka Kunimitsu!
Akutsu Jin!
Yes!
The last ones were these three!
With the three remaining, Tezuka Kunimitsu was the first to step forward.
Under everyone's gaze, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked towards Irie Kanata.
"Oh, it's finally your turn, Irie."
Taneshima Shuji said slowly, looking at Tezuka Kunimitsu's gaze towards Irie Kanata.
"Yeah, it seems that's how it is."
Irie Kanata stood up, pushed up his glasses, and wore a smile on his face.
"Senior Irie, don't forget the plan."
Yukimura smiled, his face revealing no emotions.
But Irie Kanata knew that this was a reminder not to act like he had before.
"I know."
Irie Kanata picked up his racket, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Court.
Taneshima Shuji and Tezuka Kunimitsu faced each other at the net.
"Yukimura said that you are very strong, be sure to do your best."
Although Irie Kanata's eyes were full of coldness, he had a faint smile on his face.
"Even without Senior's words, I intend to do so."
Tezuka Kunimitsu said indifferently without any expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tezuka Kunimitsu's whole body began to emit colorful light, and then, like an explosion, it enveloped the entire court.
After that, the colorful light gradually returned to Tezuka Kunimitsu's body, and then Tezuka Kunimitsu was enveloped by the colorful light.
"Pinnacle of Perfection?!"
Surprise appeared in Irie Kanata's eyes.
All the middle school students were also stunned.
"He entered the Pinnacle of Perfection state from the beginning?"
Fuji Syusuke looked at the dazzling light on Tezuka Kunimitsu's body, and surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Captain should be planning to go all out."
Kaido Kaoru pushed up his glasses and said: "Indeed, this will give him an advantage from the start!"
"It seems he has learned from the previous lessons."
Yukimura said slightly after seeing this.
But at this moment.
Irie Kanata's 'shock' suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu with a wicked smile:
"Just kidding."
Then he returned to the baseline.
Leaving only Tezuka Kunimitsu in shock after seeing that expression.
"Could it be that the Pinnacle of Perfection has no effect in front of the First-Years?"
Irie Kanata teased Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was stunned: "Is this what you're thinking inside?"
"I can tell you, it's useful, but at least you can't do it now."
Subsequently.
The match between the two began!
"Match start, one game match, Tezuka Kunimitsu's serve!"
Kurobe Yukio announced.
Baseline.
"Senior, please."
Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Irie Kanata with a serious expression.
As he spoke, Tezuka Kunimitsu gently patted the tennis ball on the ground a few times, then quickly raised his arm, and the tennis ball went out from Tezuka Kunimitsu's fingertips into the high sky.
The arm is perpendicular upwards, leaps up, and quickly swings the racket!
Textbook serve!
Bang! The collision between the racket and the tennis ball, the crisp hitting sound immediately sounded!
The tennis ball rushed towards Irie Kanata's reverse direction with a powerful spin!
"This kind of spin?"
Seeing this, Irie Kanata's eyes under the mirror surface quickly contracted at this moment.
This ball!
Irie Kanata has experienced it!
"Zero-Shiki Serve? Is it possible?"
Irie Kanata quickly said in his heart, and at this moment.
The tennis ball has come to Irie Kanata's court with a high-speed spin!
Green smoke accompanied by dust drifted away, and then there was a burst of intense rotation.
Subsequently.
Under everyone's gaze, the tennis ball quickly rolled back.
It didn't bounce!
This is indeed a Zero-Shiki Serve!
"15:0!"
Kurobe Yukio announced.
Suddenly, the expressions of the middle school students became faintly excited.
"As expected, it should be like this! Captain's judgment is correct!"
Kikumaru Eiji said with a somewhat certain tone.
"Kikumaru, don't be too happy too early."
Kaido Kaoru's glasses reflected light, and his expression was serious: "Don't forget that Irie Kanata's favorite thing is acting."
"Indeed."
Fuji Syusuke squinted his eyes and stared at Irie Kanata.
The middle school students are just happy that this ball is very beautiful.
They also understand very well that Irie Kanata may be acting again.
On the court.
"It's actually a Zero-Shiki Serve?"
Irie Kanata looked at Tezuka Kunimitsu anxiously with a worried expression and asked: "Tezuka, such a powerful serve must have very serious side effects, right? Is it okay to serve like this from the start?"
"Thank you, Senior, for your concern."
Hearing this, Tezuka still looked at Irie Kanata without expression: "However, I have my own plans."
"Is that so?"
Irie Kanata smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.
Subsequently.
Tezuka Kunimitsu looked serious, he was not affected by Irie Kanata, and continued to serve.
The speed is extremely fast, without any pause, completely unaffected in the slightest.
Then.
"30:0!"
"40:0!"
Three consecutive balls were all Zero-Shiki Serves.
The whole process took less than a minute.
Tezuka Kunimitsu always kept his expression calm and looked at Irie Kanata.
And Irie Kanata always maintained a smile, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Immediately.
Tezuka Kunimitsu continued to serve.
Bang! The sound of explosion sounded, and the tennis ball turned into a stream of light and quickly rushed out!
The tennis ball carried an amazing spin, rippling a wisp of green smoke, and rushed towards Irie Kanata after drawing a sharp arc in the air.
"Still a Zero-Shiki Serve?"
Seeing this, a hint of excitement appeared in Irie Kanata's eyes. The previous words did not have any impact on Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Or is it.
Under the Pinnacle of Perfection, Tezuka Kunimitsu can ignore the side effects of the Zero-Shiki Serve.
Irie Kanata is not so simple to let these few balls go, he wants to see how strong Tezuka Kunimitsu's mental strength is.
This is when Irie Kanata has not yet discovered that his 'bad' habit has come out.
In order to obtain the opponent's rhythm, he will hold back in some matches, so as to truly capture the other party's heart. And the current Irie Kanata himself has not discovered it.
