“15——15”
“Hmph, as expected, it’s really terrible. But such little tricks are of no use to me at all!”
Watching Sasaki serve the ball high into the net again, Koyachi was not affected by Sasaki’s previous tactics and once again hit a high ball back.
“Idiot, any ball I judge as valid would be considered out of bounds.”
Seeing that Koyachi still managed to hit a high ball, Sasaki couldn’t help but curse inwardly, calling him an idiot. After all, in Sasaki’s opinion, no matter whether the ball was within the boundaries or not, it would still be declared out of bounds.
However, what followed next was a slap in Sasaki’s face.
“What? What’s going on here? Could really be a primary school student who hit such a ball?”
At that moment, the ball hit by Koyachi actually stayed right at the baseline, instead of bouncing away as usual.
“Good! He used a high ball with reverse spin to make it stop at the baseline. Truly impressive!”
Coach Ryuzaki was after all a famous tennis coach. To others, Koyachi’s move might have seemed incredible, but Coach Ryuzaki understood the principle behind it.
“Hey, that ball should definitely be in, right?”
Koyachi pointed his racket at Sasaki with a defiant look on his face, thinking to himself: You think such little tricks can stump me? Don’t be ridiculous!
“Damn!!!”
——————
Bang! Koyachi won this game.
Bang! Koyachi won this game.
Bang! Koyachi won this game.
The match continued, but it looked as if Koyachi was just bullying Sasaki, as Sasaki hardly had any chance to connect any shots except for his serves!
“Damn it, I can’t catch it at all!”
As the match neared its end, facing one of Koyachi’s high balls, Sasaki tried to catch it but found he couldn’t.
But as he jumped into the air, seeing Koyachi below, Sasaki’s anger boiled over, and he simply smashed his racket towards Koyachi.
“Die! You’re too arrogant.”
However, Sasaki didn’t realize that Koyachi, being a time traveler, was already prepared for such despicable tactics. So, Koyachi easily dodged Sasaki’s attack.
Although the racket didn’t hit Koyachi, the anger in Koyachi’s heart towards Sasaki’s shameful behavior was completely ignited.
“Sorry, sorry, my racket slipped accidentally. Hmph.”
Seeing that Koyachi managed to dodge, Sasaki couldn’t help but marvel at Koyachi’s good luck.
“Your grip on the racket is terrible. Really terrible. From now on, I’ll teach you how to play tennis properly!”
Giving Sasaki a cold look without any further complaints, Koyachi immediately returned to the service line.
“Haha, it seems Ryoma is finally taking it seriously!”
Seeing that familiar look in Koyachi’s eyes, Coach Ryuzaki couldn’t help but exclaim with excitement.
That look in Koyachi’s eyes was one that Coach Ryuzaki had often seen on Koyachi Nanjirou’s face before.
Bang! Bang!
Koyachi stood behind the service line, continuously hitting the ball into the ground.
“Hmph, you’re clearly scared to death. Come on, hit me then!”
Sasaki’s heart was filled with unease, and without realizing it, he blurted out these words in an attempt to appear tough.
As soon as Sasaki finished speaking, Koyama threw the ball high into the air, then jumped up as well, swinging his racket upwards and hitting the ball towards the upper right corner.
“Bang!”
The tennis ball appeared at Sasaki’s feet at incredible speed, then bounced back to the ground and headed straight for his face. After hitting his face, it even continued to spin before finally landing!
Ah!
With a scream, Sasaki fell to the ground, covering his face in pain!
“Hmph, that was a special backspin serve I prepared just for you. Seems it worked well, didn’t it?” Koyama thought to himself as he watched Sasaki fall to the ground, covering his face.
Backspin serves do indeed fly towards a player’s face because of their sideways spin, but in reality, it’s possible not to get hit by such a ball if one doesn’t try to catch it.
However, to ensure that the ball would hit Sasaki’s face, Koyama had intentionally increased the spin, making sure it would definitely land there.
“40-0! Koyama’s match-winning point!”
“What was that just now?”
“Did grandma’s ball just change direction?”
“Backspin serve… Could that really be a backspin serve?”
Questions and exclamations rang out continuously. Both Sasaki himself, his classmates, as well as coach Ryuzaki and Sakura, were all stunned by Koyama’s shot.
“Last ball… Die!”
Ignoring the exclamations from those watching, Koyama, now standing up again, raised his racket and launched another backspin serve towards Sasaki.
The ball reached Sasaki’s feet at a speed beyond what most people could catch, then bounced back off the ground and hit him in the face once more!
“Ah!”
Sasaki tried to dodge, but the ball was too fast. He only managed to slightly turn his face, and the ball hit him hard in the face, causing him to lose consciousness from the intense pain.
“Match over! Koyama wins! Score: 6-0!”
“Hmph, useless!”
Without even wanting to shake hands with anyone, after the referee announced the end of the match, Koyama said hello to coach Ryuzaki, took Sakura’s coat, and left without looking back.
It wasn’t that Koyama didn’t want to spend more time with Sakura; it was just that it was already too late at this hour.
Koyama, who had just returned to the city, wasn’t very familiar with the area, so it would be bad if he missed the last train home. Watching Koyama’s figure gradually fade into the distance, coach Ryuzaki couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Koyama Ryuma is a really formidable guy. From now on, things are going to get very interesting!”
