However, they were well aware of the terror of a bullet serve with a ball speed approaching 180km/h, and they also knew what Chen Anxia's shutout of Kaido Kaoru meant.
However, due to insufficient information, they were unable to determine whether what the player said was true, nor could they know whether Kaido Kaoru, who was defeated by Chen Anxia, had used his full strength.
If so, then Chen Anxia, this first-year student, is truly remarkable and could very well become an obstacle to Fudomine's dominance of the nation...
Thinking this, Tachibana Yoshihira summoned his younger sister, Tachibana An, wanting her to go to Seigaku to find out what was going on.
As for why we should send Tachibana An, it's because girls have a natural advantage in some things, especially cute and pretty girls.
Yamabuki Middle School.
After learning about Seigaku's King, Sengoku Kiyosumi became curious and wanted to find some time to go to Seigaku to find out.
Besides Sengoku Kiyosumi, Seigaku's King also attracted another person...
No, it should be the attention of a monster.
This monster is Akutsu Jin.
A sickly smile crept across Akutsu Jin's face as he muttered, "I wonder if this Seigaku King can take a beating..."
Lihai University Affiliated High School.
A player who had just joined the tennis club asked Yanagi Renji, who was in charge of information and data within the team, out of curiosity.
When Yanagi Renji learned that Seigaku's King was there, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
According to the information and data collected by Renji Yanagi, there is indeed someone in the Seigaku Tennis Club who holds the title of King.
That person was Tezuka Kunimitsu, the captain of Seigaku.
Besides Kunimitsu Tezuka, there are two other recognized Kings in the junior high school tennis world of Japan: Genichiro Sanada, the vice-captain of Rikkai University, and Keigo Atobe, the captain of Hyotei Academy.
The three of them, holding the titles of Emperor, King, and Sovereign respectively, are the undisputed three kings of junior high school tennis in the island nation, and three insurmountable mountains.
And now, this first-year student from Seigaku, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, dares to call himself "King." What does this mean...?
......
Chapter 252 The Strange Change, the Figure in My Mind!
Player World, scene of the girls' high school (middle school) tennis exchange match.
Emi Mihara, who once cheered for Chen Anxia at the Kakizaka Tennis Garden, is now warming up for the upcoming match.
The inter-school exchange competition consists of 5 matches, using a best-of-three format, including two doubles matches and three singles matches.
Not long ago, Emi Mihara's school lost the first doubles match, and the second doubles match is currently underway with the outcome still unknown.
Emi Mihara is number 3 in singles.
This means that if Emi Mihara's school loses another doubles match, then Emi Mihara's match will determine whether her school stays or leaves in this inter-school exchange competition.
Emi Mihara was well aware of this, so even though her teammates didn't put any pressure on her, she still felt an indescribable pressure.
The pressure made Emi Mihara restless and uneasy, and she couldn't even do her warm-up exercises properly.
After some time, Mihara Emi heard her captain's voice in her ear, "Emi, your match is about to start, let's go to the court."
Upon hearing this, Emi Mihara was startled, and then took several deep breaths, trying to calm her anxious heart.
Soon, Emi Mihara discovered that her anxious and uneasy heart could not be calmed at all.
Left with no other choice, Emi Mihara gritted her teeth and walked toward the court.
Regardless, I still have to participate in the competition.
The minister was aware of Mihara Emi's current state, and as she passed by, he reached out and gently patted her shoulder, smiling as he said, "We won the second doubles match, so don't feel any pressure and go for it. I'm here for you."
A moment later, Emi Mihara, who was already on the court, was playing the coin toss game with her opponent.
Emi Mihara now knows that the key to victory or defeat does not lie with her.
This alleviated Mihara Emi's anxiety, but it did not completely eliminate it.
This is normal, after all, this is Emi Mihara's first official competition, and the surrounding stands are full of spectators.
Under such circumstances, Emi Mihara, who had never experienced the baptism of competition, simply could not maintain a calm mindset.
Just as Mihara Emi was quietly adjusting her mindset, she heard her opponent's voice say, "I heard that you were brought in to make up the numbers."
Before Mihara Emi could react, her opponent continued, "If you ask me, you might as well just admit defeat. It turns out that Mizuki, who is number 3 in singles, has never beaten me, let alone you."
"If you choose to continue the competition, you are not only wasting our time, but also humiliating yourself."
"Let me make it clear beforehand, I absolutely will not hold back. If you compete against me, I will definitely make you look very embarrassed..."
The opponent originally thought he could persuade Mihara Emi to back down with words, but he did not expect that his actions would instead arouse Mihara Emi's fighting spirit.
Without the slightest hesitation, Mihara Emi, seeing her opponent's unpleasant expression, directly expressed her determination to continue the match.
The result of the coin toss was quickly announced: the first game was Emi Mihara's serve.
After arriving at the service area, Emi Mihara took out a tennis ball and started hitting it.
As she practiced, Emi Mihara kept reflecting on the techniques of the bullet serve, her efforts over the past week, and the feel and touch of the ball when she executed it...
The next moment, Mihara Emi tossed the tennis ball high into the air, then let out a sharp cry and slammed her racket down on the falling ball.
Putting everything else aside, Emi Mihara's serving posture and momentum alone were enough to catch the eye of many viewers.
Even Mihara Emi's opponents were taken aback by her demeanor and aura, and were momentarily stunned.
It was this slight lapse in concentration that caused her to miss the best opportunity to receive the ball.
boom!
After the sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground rang out, the referee's voice followed, "Fault! Serve out of bounds!"
Seeing this, the opponent, who had been stunned, came to his senses and, while inexplicably relieved, couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile on his face.
In her view, this is Emi Mihara's true strength.
At the same time, she was also thinking about how to retaliate in a way that would make Mihara Emi even more embarrassed.
The audience members in the spectator area also whispered among themselves upon seeing this.
In their view, Emi Mihara, who makes service errors, must not be very good.
As for their posture and imposing manner just now, they subconsciously ignored it.
On the sidelines, Mihara Emi's teammates didn't show much emotion, because they all knew Mihara Emi's strength, so they didn't show any surprise at Mihara Emi's serve error.
Only the minister, noticing Mihara Emi's slightly furrowed brow and solemn expression, murmured, "Was Emi's posture and aura just now really a coincidence?"
In the room, Emi Mihara was unaware of the opinions and thoughts of others.
At this moment, Emi Mihara was still immersed in her memories, still searching for the feel and touch of the ball when she hit the bullet serve.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Anxia's image suddenly appeared in Mihara Emi's mind.
Under Mihara Emi's gaze, Chen Anxia in her mind slowly assumed the posture of a bullet serve.
Instinctively, Emi Mihara's body also adopted the posture of serving a bullet.
At this moment, Emi Mihara's image and Chen Anxia's image in her mind seemed to overlap, and even Emi Mihara exuded a unique aura from Chen Anxia.
The next moment, as Chen Anxia in her mind hit the bullet serve, Mihara Emi in reality also hit the bullet serve.
A golden beam of light suddenly burst forth and shot straight toward the opponent's arena.
boom!
After the sound of a tennis ball hitting the ground, an eerie silence fell over the scene.
Meanwhile, Emi Mihara's opponent was showing an extremely shocked expression, with disbelief flashing in his eyes.
She saw the ball, but her body couldn't react in time.
It wasn't just Emi Mihara's opponents, but also their teammates on the sidelines.
In particular, Emi Mihara's teammates all showed expressions of disbelief.
They couldn't believe that Emi Mihara, who was just a tennis novice, could hit such a terrifying serve.
Seriously, is it really possible for a middle school student to produce a serve with such incredible speed?
Meanwhile, on the court, Emi Mihara's face showed a hint of disbelief.
Because that last shot still exceeded the limits that Emi Mihara had practiced before, reaching a height that Emi Mihara could never have imagined.
Emi Mihara didn't know why this was happening, but she knew that this strange change was probably related to the image of Chen Anxia that appeared in her mind.
Chen Anxia, who was in the world of "The Prince of Tennis" at the time, naturally did not expect that such a strange change would occur in the players.
If Chen Anxia could know this, he could imagine the frenzy this anomaly would trigger among the players...
......
Chapter 253 A clean sheet? Momoshiro Takeshi's seriousness!
The world of The Prince of Tennis.
After his match against Kaidou Kaoru, Chen Anxia had earned the respect of the ordinary members of the Seigaku Tennis Club with his own strength.
Therefore, although Chen Anxia was only a first-year student, the ordinary second- and third-year students did not dare to treat Chen Anxia as a first-year student at all.
In their hearts, they already regarded Chen Anxia as a regular member of the Seigaku team.
Moreover, for some reason, they always subconsciously lowered their posture in front of Chen Anxia, not daring to put on airs as seniors or elders, and sometimes even felt restrained and nervous.
This situation is just like facing Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Under these circumstances, the other first-year students, including Ryoma Echizen, could only pick up balls and do basic tennis training during club activities, while only Anxia Chen was able to stand on the court.
Apart from that, after learning of Chen Anxia's strength, the only ones still willing to spar with him were the regular members of Seigaku.
As for the players, since they are first-year students, they cannot play on the court; they can only pick up balls and do basic tennis training on the sidelines.
The reason they were able to play against Chen Anxia was because they hadn't joined the club yet.
Now that they have joined the club, they naturally have to abide by the tennis club's rules and regulations.
At this moment, Momoshiro Takeshi, whose foot injury had just healed, was sparring with Chen Anxia on the field.
