Chapter 13: The Strong and the Genius
Putting aside his original contempt, Oshitari Yuushi's attitude became extremely serious.
Having graduated from the famous Dotonbori Daini Elementary School in Kansai, Yuushi Oshitari can be called an absolute genius.
Especially in tennis, his unparalleled sense of the ball and his delicate and cautious skills make him stand out among his peers.
Later, due to his father's work, he transferred to Tokyo. After hearing that the tennis club of Hyotei Junior High School was very strong, he naturally chose Hyotei.
When he first came to Hyotei, he had to admit that in terms of the size of the tennis team, it was indeed a strong tennis school.
However, when he applied for admission, he was extremely disappointed by the quality of the tennis club's regular players.
Is this the former top four team in the country?
At that time, he even regretted joining Hyotei.
Fortunately, Atobe appeared later. This was the first time he saw such a strong peer.
The changes in Hyotei changed his mind, and made him, who was originally cold on the outside but warm on the inside, full of expectations.
And before facing Kamijoube, he didn't want to lose to anyone.
There was a quick gleam in Oshitari's eyes.
boom!
The tennis ball was tossed gently.
A sharp ray of light shot out directly at an extremely fast speed.
"Game, Oshitari Yuushi, 15-15."
A standard super-high-speed serve score.
This is a flat shot that is served quickly with a short throw.
In order to reach the speed of Yuushi Oshitari just now, one must have strong wrist strength to make this flat shot have such speed.
"How about it."
Looking at the unresponsive Uesugi Yu, Oshitari's eyes flashed and a smile crossed his lips.
This ball was a powerful counterattack against Uesugi Yuu who knocked his racket away.
He was telling Uesugi Yu that he was just careless with the first ball and that his strength was more than that.
Is it a provocation?
Uesugi Yuu naturally understood what Oshitari meant, but he wanted to laugh inside.
As expected, the Kansai Wolf is still just a little wolf. It is really interesting to see how eager it is to prove itself.
He didn't catch the ball, not because he couldn't, but because he also wanted to see what Oshitari looked like when he was serious.
Speaking of which, Oshitari's super high-speed serve is pretty good, but it is far inferior to Inui's waterfall serve in the future, not to mention that Uesugi Yu has already seen the sixth-level Mach serve.
Shangshan You suddenly realized that he was already accustomed to the third grade appearance of these people in his previous memory. Now when he faced the "young" version of them, he suddenly felt a lot more evil.
But this time he still held back, his face still looking serious.
"Keep going, Oshitari-san!"
Shang Shanyou's words sounded indifferently, as if this serve had no effect on him at all.
Oshitari felt startled and subconsciously pushed up his glasses.
“That doesn’t waver in any way.”
He suddenly realized that there was a reason why Shangshan You had such strength.
Then he stopped talking nonsense.
Boom!
With a twist of his wrist, he delivered another serve at the same super high speed.
However, the next moment.
This is……
When Oshitari took a glance, he saw that Ueyama Yuu was already at the landing point.
Boom!
Yu Kamishima used a powerful backhand to pull the ball to the baseline on the other side of Oshitari.
Step…Step…
Boom!
Boom!
The two began to pull each other back and forth.
“So intense!”
…
“So strong…”
The members watching around were all amazed at the wonderful duel between the two.
Only then did they realize that the strength of these two people was many times stronger than the day before, or in other words, they didn't need to use their full strength at the beginning.
Atobe saw it particularly clearly from the sidelines. The two players had a solid foundation in tennis, and even he couldn't find much fault with it.
One ball... Two balls...
It was just one point, but neither of them had the slightest intention of giving it to the other.
Tap tap...
After receiving the ball from the other side of the court again, Oshitari suddenly frowned.
Something seems wrong.
He was startled and looked at Shangshan You opposite him.
He found that Shangshan You seemed to have not moved for a long time, and he was the only one being moved back and forth by him from the baseline.
After realizing this, his face turned grim after he caught the ball again.
Damn it!
How is this going .
In an instant, his breathing rhythm was disrupted and he was scored by Uesugi Yu with a precise baseline ball.
"Game, Kamisama Yuu, 30-15."
Oshitari stood where he was, quietly adjusting his disordered breathing, looking at Kamisama Yuu who had a cunning smile on his face opposite him, and suddenly he felt like he was meeting this person for the first time.
“This way of rotating the ball is really cool.”
Uesugi Yuu stopped pretending at this time and looked at Oshitari opposite him with a smile.
"It seems that he noticed it."
Yu Uesugi used a castrated version of Tezuka's territory, and by continuously hitting the ball up and down from the baseline, he felt the feeling of Tezuka bullying him.
Although his imitation was poor and he couldn't even stay still, with his current foundation, he could easily control Oshitari's ball to hit the center area.
That's why, in Oshitari 's eyes, it seemed as if Uesugi Yu hadn't moved left or right.
However, this technique can only be used to bully those who encounter it for the first time. If the opponent understands it, it will be of no use.
After all, he is not Tezuka, who has studied the technique of rotation to the extreme and formed a field that can absorb the ball.
soon.
After Oshitari calmed down and thought about it, he figured out what trick Kamishima Yuu had just used.
"Spin, left and right, up and down?"
Oshitari felt a chill in his heart when he thought about the ball's path being controlled by him .
He took a deep look at Shangshan You, who looked like a completely different person.
He took a deep breath.
The game isn't over yet.
Boom!
This time, Oshitari's serve was very ordinary.
whoosh!
However, what responded to him was a yellow afterimage.
Uesugi Yuu’s counterattack…
He didn't see clearly!
"G...game, Kamisama Yuu, 40-15." Even the referee hesitated for a moment before announcing.
this……
Oshitari's expression became completely stiff.
He looked at the chuckling boy opposite him with some disbelief.
Uesugi Yuu's return was even faster than his super-fast serve...
The return is faster than the serve...
How strong is he...
At this moment, Inuzaka's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
The members outside the venue also looked confused.
What just happened!
It felt like the ball returned to Oshitari-san's side with just a "whoosh".
Kaida Shin clenched his fists tightly when he saw this scene. He found that the freshmen in the tennis club were probably more terrifying than he thought.
And Atobe, who had been watching the match between the two silently, now had a gleam of light in his eyes.
He looked at the young man with a warm smile on the field with sharp and serious eyes.
Shang Shanyou looked at the people who were shocked by him, and didn't care at all, as if the ball just now was not hit by him.
"Oshitari-san, keep going!"
Uesugi Yuu's nonchalant attitude brought him back to his senses.
Oshitari lowered his head and looked at the tennis ball tightly grasped in his left hand.
After a moment, the fire in his eyes grew brighter.
come on!
Oshitari's cold-outward but warm-hearted character was aroused, and he became full of fighting spirit.
pity.
Fighting spirit cannot make up for the gap in strength, and Uesugi Yu scored another point with a simple flat hit.
"Game, Kamishima Yuu, score 1-0."
Transition from offense to defense.
It was Yu Uesugi's turn to serve.
Snapped!
Snapped!
…
After symbolically tapping the ball on the ground twice, Shangshanyou looked at Inuzaki Issho who had a very serious expression.
Look carefully, Oshitsuka, this is the gap between you and me now.
All Collection: Breathing of Water...
Throw the tennis ball high up, bend your legs and bend your body backward at an exaggerated angle.
The strong body that has been cultivated through years of practice and training is fully revealed at this moment, and the body exposed outside is all long and perfect muscles.
Type 8: Takitsubo!
Boom!
A muffled sound.
The moment the tennis ball shot out, Oshitari's body froze in place.
This is……
A roaring column of water fell from the sky, and he was like a lone sail in the ocean, drifting with the waves.
"Snapped!"
The surging water column hit him hard, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
"15-0."
…
"Huh...Huh...this kind of serve..."
Oshitari opened his eyes, panting, and found that there was no water column, only a yellow tennis ball lying quietly at his feet.
He looked at Ueyama Yuu opposite him with a look of shock, and the hand holding the racket couldn't help but tremble.
Everyone outside the court was puzzled again. It was obvious that Ueyama Yu's serve was not particularly fast, so why didn't Oshitari move at all?
No, it can even be said that the moment the ball hit the ground, Oshitari closed his eyes.
Atobe frowned and thought for a while, and found that he couldn't understand it either. Was there anything special about Kamisama Yu's serve?
He kept this doubt deep in his heart.
As for Uesugi Yu's serve, it was naturally created by him by combining Water Breathing·Eighth Form.
This was a serve that combined a breathing method with mental will. He didn't use his full strength, but only gave Oshitari this kind of mental oppression. Naturally, other people couldn't see the reason.
The game continues.
After Uesugi Yu demonstrated this serve, Oshitari seemed to have suffered a blow.
The fighting spirit that had been burning was completely extinguished.
And the game naturally turned to one side.
"2-0"
…
"4-0"
"Ueyama Yuu scores, game, Ueyama Yuu, 6-0."
"The game is over, Uesugi Yuu wins!"
Oshitari was sweating all over, breathing heavily and in a daze.
Oshitari-san, Oshitari-san!
He didn't come to his senses until someone called his name.
Looking at Yu Uesugi who was already in front of the net, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
"I thought he was just an ordinary opponent, but I didn't expect that I was so ignorant."
He walked forward with mixed feelings and shook hands with Shangshan You.
"An excellent game, Oshitari-san."
Uesugi Yuu had a friendly smile on his face and looked very harmless.
Wonderful?
Oshitari forced himself to hold back the breath in his chest.
It looked like Shangshanyou was mocking him for overestimating his own abilities.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Shangshanyou stopped him.
"Oshitari-san, do you know the difference between a genius and a strong person?"
Inuzuka was stunned by Kamishima Yu's words. He turned around and looked at Kamishima Yu with some confusion, with doubts in his eyes.
Without waiting for Oshitari to answer, Uesugi Yuu continued, "Genius, that's just a title given to him after a strong person recognizes him."
"Rather than being a genius, Oshitari-kun should become a strong man as soon as possible, otherwise you can only look at the backs of me and Atobe and be called a genius under our light."
At this moment Shang Shanyou restrained the smile on his face and gave no warnings or lessons.
He just stated the fact very calmly, which was cruel and true.
Oshitari Yuushi is like Fuji of Seigaku, they are both too bound by the shackles of "genius".
After saying that, Uesugi Yuu regained his smile and said, "I look forward to having a good fight with Oshitari-san next time."
Then Uesugi Yuu left the scene directly, leaving Oshitari who was still thinking about his life.
