#127 - My evolution has never stopped.
Keigo Atobe's eyes narrowed!
"So fast!!"
Yushi Oshitari couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The speed of the return alone was faster than Keigo Atobe's serve!
"Is this the power of the Child of God?"
The Hyotei members' expressions turned somewhat serious.
Kunikazu Tezuka watched Keigo Atobe on the court, a thoughtful look on his face.
On the court, Keigo Atobe's eyes flashed with intense fighting spirit. He stomped forcefully on the ground, the muscle power in his calf exploding instantly.
Swift as a flashing cheetah, Keigo Atobe darted out almost instantaneously.
The Rikkaidai members paused slightly as they saw this.
To be honest, Keigo Atobe's performance surprised them greatly.
Not only that, but compared to last year—Keigo Atobe's strength had become even greater.
Keigo Atobe on the court had already caught up to the tennis ball. His entire body suddenly stalled, displaying perfect balance. His arm exploded with astonishing power, heavily swinging at the tennis ball!
Bang! The dull sound of the racket hitting the tennis ball echoed across the court.
The powerful force caused the strings in the racket to sink inward…
Seiichi Yukimura's purple eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
"Go back where you belong, damn it!!"
Keigo Atobe roared, his arm exerting force, instantly striking the tennis ball out.
Whoosh! A wisp of green smoke filled the air as the tennis ball transformed into a cannonball.
"The power, speed, and spin are all strong."
Seiichi said softly, his gentle voice reaching Keigo Atobe's ears, "But—it's not enough."
As soon as Seiichi finished speaking, Keigo Atobe's expression changed slightly.
A piercing sound that hurt the eardrums suddenly rang out. The tennis ball, carrying an astonishing spin, pierced through the court almost instantly.
Keigo Atobe's eyes constricted sharply, his body reacting instantly—
"Seiichi takes this point!"
Genichiro Sanada, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said.
After the tennis ball passed over the net, it flew past Keigo Atobe's side at lightning speed.
The sound of the tennis ball landing rang out, and then it quickly shot out of the baseline.
"0:15!!"
The referee's voice announcing the score rang out.
Kintaro Kamio's expression became serious, and his gaze towards Seiichi also carried a hint of gravity.
"Child of God, Seiichi Yukimura!!!"
Ever since Seiichi stood on the U-17 World Cup stage, Kintaro had known about him.
And the terrifying strength and talent that Seiichi displayed were the most genius he had ever seen.
As for the legendary Samurai?
Even the Samurai, when he was young, was not as strong as Seiichi!
Kintaro was certain of this.
"Atobe, this match—will be of great help to you!!"
Kintaro thought as he watched Keigo Atobe on the court.
On the court.
Keigo Atobe looked at the mark of the ball beside him, his face serious.
Even though he had reacted, he still couldn't keep up with the speed of the tennis ball.
Too fast!
Fast to the point of being a limit!
"This is even more interesting!!!"
Keigo Atobe's eyes revealed excitement, and the speed of his blood flow gradually accelerated.
"Keigo Atobe!"
Mamoru Inoue's eyes on the outside of the court revealed a thoughtful look.
When Keigo Atobe had just transferred to Hyotei, he had gone to interview him. At that time, Keigo Atobe was still a first-year, and he had defeated the entire Hyotei tennis club.
From that time on, Keigo Atobe became the captain of the Hyotei tennis club.
It was just that Mamoru Inoue had not expected Rikkaidai to be so terrifying a year ago!
Three first-years had suppressed the entire middle school tennis world to the point where they couldn't lift their heads!
The Rikkaidai Big Three!
In last year's national tournament, Keigo Atobe lost to Seiichi!
But… Seiichi this year was too strong!
The title of Child of God alone was enough to shock countless tennis players in the world.
"That tennis reporter—seems very interesting?"
Itaru Saito noticed Mamoru Inoue and said with interest.
"He seems to know a lot about the middle school tennis world?"
Ryuji Tsubaki looked at Mamoru Inoue and raised his eyebrows.
Yukio Kurobe only glanced at him indifferently before withdrawing his gaze.
On the court.
Keigo Atobe once again tossed the tennis ball in his hand.
At the instant when the tennis ball reached its highest point and was about to fall, he exerted force in his legs and leaped up.
Holding the racket tightly in his right hand, he aimed at the tennis ball and swung the racket fiercely!
Bang! The racket struck the tennis ball, and the sound of the ball being hit suddenly rang out, a sharp sound of tearing through the air.
Whoosh! A wisp of green smoke rose behind the tennis ball's trajectory, the speed even faster than the previous ball!!
In an instant, the tennis ball had already flown over the net and landed in Seiichi's half of the court.
Seiichi looked at Keigo Atobe's serve, his purple eyes flashing slightly.
Immediately, he took a step, and his figure had already disappeared from where he stood.
When Seiichi's figure reappeared, he had already arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball.
Thud! The sound of the tennis ball landing rang out, and a cloud of dust instantly filled the air.
Seiichi raised the racket in his hand, aimed at the tennis ball, and swung his backhand.
Immediately, a crisp sound reached everyone's ears, and the tennis ball transformed into a stream of light, quickly flying over the net.
On the opposite side, Keigo Atobe quickly ran towards the landing point of the tennis ball after Seiichi hit the tennis ball back.
"His speed—"
Renji Yanagi frowned.
"His observational skills!!"
Genichiro said in a deep voice, "His observational skills are stronger than dynamic vision!"
"So that's how it is—"
Renji Yanagi's eyes revealed a hint of understanding after hearing Genichiro's words.
Keigo Atobe's observational skills had already surpassed the range of dynamic vision, allowing him to clearly see the opponent's weaknesses, even slight discomfort in the arm, and then launch a strong attack!
"No wonder he has such a fast reaction speed."
Akaya Kirihara's expression was grave. He also had dynamic vision, but even so, he couldn't keep up with the speed of those two people on the court.
The gap in strength was instantly revealed.
At this time.
Keigo Atobe had already arrived at the net, instantly raising the racket in his hand, aiming at the tennis ball, and immediately swinging the racket.
Seiichi's eyes, like amethyst, revealed a hint of surprise after seeing Keigo Atobe's movements.
The next moment, his figure had already disappeared from where he stood, quickly running towards the net.
"I'll see how you return this ball, damn it!!"
Keigo Atobe's eyes flashed with brilliance after seeing Seiichi's movements.
Immediately after, he turned the racket in his hand and quickly aimed at the tennis ball, suddenly flicking it up!
Swish! The tennis ball flew high into the air, carrying a spin, instantly falling towards Seiichi's baseline!
"It's a lob!!"
Yushi Oshitari shouted subconsciously.
