Chapter 117 Shrinking Earth Technique
"It seems our opponent has been decided."
Rokkaku Junior High, which had performed reasonably well in the Kanto Tournament, suffered a crushing defeat against Higa, Okinawa.
This incident seemed unbelievable to onlookers.
After all, these are teams that have made it to the national competition. It's not very dignified to be crushed in the match.
"Let's go back."
Atobe Keigo was the first to turn around.
Chinen Hiroshi looked over and said, "Is that our opponent tomorrow?"
"I heard he's the champion of the Kanto Tournament," Shiranui Chimi chimed in.
Eishiro Kito pushed up his glasses. "So what if he's the Kanto Tournament champion? He doesn't have an extra leg. We'll still shut him out tomorrow."
Kai Yujiro said, "Eishiro, you dare to say something like 'scorched earth by Hyotei'?"
While stuffing something into his mouth, Tian Renzhi said, "We've shut out so many people along the way, one more won't make a difference."
000
Those nearby exchanged bewildered glances and whispered among themselves, "They're actually saying they're going to shut out Hyotei in a straight game."
"I've only ever heard of Hyotei shutting out others, never of anyone shutting out Hyotei."
"Higa Junior High is really arrogant."
The people from Higa Middle School gave them menacing looks, and everyone quickly shut their mouths.
"Have you heard? Someone's going to shut us out?"
As the Hyotei group walked along the road, they heard Higa's words.
"That's good."
"I heard that Ryoma Echizen from Seigaku has returned from his match."
"Really? That guy, Tsukiya, actually gave up such a good opportunity."
"However, he probably doesn't need the aura of that sacred place at all..."

"How should we deal with those guys tomorrow...?"
"
The group chatted casually.
After returning to Hyotei, Natsume Tsuki was already at the court.
After each contest, they dispersed and went home.
Before they knew it, the sun was high in the sky the next day, and the Hyotei team arrived at Erena Tennis Park.
"Click click click!"
"Inoue-senpai, it's Hyotei." Shiba Saori pressed the shutter.
Looking over, Inoue Mamoru saw a neat row of people, followed by a group of cheerleaders, walking towards the stadium.
"You feel good today."
As the group approached, Inoue Mamoru greeted them, saying, "Today is going to be another exciting day."
"
"Ah, all the brilliance comes from others."
As Natsume Tsuki walked towards the court, he said, "We're only responsible for cleaning."
"We're only responsible for cleaning?" Saori Shiba asked, puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Inoue Moriichi couldn't understand it either.
Shiba Saori looked around and said, "However, those who came to watch the game today are all schools that don't have any matches."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yuechu's lips twitched. St. Rudolf Academy had been eliminated; there was no more competition...
"Yes, today is the second day of the competition. The seeded teams have had their bye period and are all focused on the competition."
"Inoue Mamoru replied."
"The match between Hyotei Academy and Bija Middle School's singles number three is about to begin. Players from both sides, please prepare."
The announcement came over the loudspeaker.
Yuta Fuji: "Mitsuki, I heard that this tournament will be a rotation between singles and doubles."
"This is unexpected. I wonder if the organizers are trying to guard against Hyotei?"
Miyuki, stroking his chin, said, "In the previous Kanto Tournament, Hyotei's doubles team was undefeated."
"Mitsuki, this is too exaggerated." Fuji Yuuta was dumbfounded.
Kanzuki smiled and said, "That's just a thought. But how will Hyotei deal with Higa Middle School's ability to use the Shrinking Earth technique?"
"Hyotei Academy, Singles No. 3, Hiyoshi Waka."
"The referee announced."
"What?"
Kanzuki was quite surprised, "Hyotei actually sent out a second-year substitute player?"
Inoue Mamoru glanced at the list in his hand and said, "For this match, Hyotei's preliminary round roster does indeed list second-year student Hiyoshi Waka as number three in singles. I don't know what they were thinking."
Saori Shiba: "Can Hiyoshi counter their teleportation technique?"
"That's hard to say," Inoue Mamoru said, puzzled.
Saori Shiba raised a finger and said, "That Higa from Okinawa, everyone knows martial arts, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Inoue Mamoru asked, puzzled.
Shiba Saori placed her fingers in front of her moist red lips and said smugly, "If I remember correctly, that Hiyoshi seems to know ancient martial arts."
"Oh." Inoue Mamoru suddenly remembered and continued, "So, does that mean it's a matter of using force to overcome force?"
"Higa Junior High School, Singles No. 3, Kai Yujiro."
The two stood in the center of the court.
"Hey, you'd better just be my defeated foe. What Kanto Tournament champion?"
Kai Yujiro was very disdainful.
Hiyoshi's gaze sharpened slightly. Ignoring his words, he coldly replied, "The other side."
"On the other hand, I'm used to being the villain."
As soon as Kai Yujiro finished speaking, Hiyoshi Wakashi's racket began to spin rapidly.
"Hyotei Academy's Hiyoshi Waka's serve."
After the referee finished speaking, Kai Yujiro wanted to say something, but Hiyoshi Waka had already walked back, which made him very angry.
"Just you wait, just you wait, I'll deal with you properly."
Kai Yujiro walked back, his heart filled with resentment.
"Tap tap tap!"
Hiyoshi was standing in the backcourt, dribbling the ball.
Ryo Mido: "I think I've been practicing the most guitar lately."
Gakuto Mukahi: "That's right, that guy's like he's possessed, practicing from morning till night every day. I heard he even got asked by the teacher to be supervised by the club president because he was dozing off in class..."
"
"Bang!"
These days, Hijiki has been trapped in a state of demonic sealing. He feels like a large water tank that can never be filled, always in a state of thirst. Even though he is already very powerful and has made the fastest progress, he is still not satisfied.
Physically, he had to pull rubber tires every day, run back and forth, do pull-ups, and swing his racket...
Technically, he constantly asked Natsume Tsukiya for guidance, and in terms of speed, he continuously received Chotaro Ootori's serves.
"Snapped!"
The high shot went straight through and exploded at Kai Yujiro's feet.
"Fifteen to zero!"
"What?"
An inexplicable aura swept over from the opposite side, and Kai Yujiro instantly felt a terrifying pressure unlike any opponent he had ever faced before.
"Oh?"
Chinen Hiroshi: "What kind of serve did that guy use?"
Rin Hirakoba: "I'd heard before that the champion team of the Kanto Tournament won by speed, and now it seems that's true."
Eishiro Kite remained silent, but also looked towards Hyotei.
Tian Renzhihui said with a hearty bite, "Don't worry, any serve will be fine as long as Kai uses the short-range technique."
"Kanzuki?" Fuji Yuuta's tone was somewhat surprised.
Guan Yuechu: "I really didn't expect that the guy who's always been on the bench would end up like this."
Saori Shiba took a photo and commented, "It looks like Hyotei is in good shape."
"Yes." Inoue Mamoru secretly praised Natsume Tsukiya.
"Tap tap tap~"
This time, Kai Yujiro improved his concentration.
"!"
"Thirty to zero."
"Can't get through?"
Kai Yujiro simply couldn't believe it.
Hiyoshi raised his head and glanced at the other side. Just as the minister said, the so-called shrinking ground method uses the illusion of the human eye to stay in a certain position. It is aimed at the kind of return ball with a time gap. As long as you serve at an extremely high speed, the opponent will not be able to react at all, and then it is nothing.
"Bang!"
If Hijiki sends it out again.
"Forty to zero."
"Bang!"
"6
"Game score: 1-0."
The referee's announcement poured cold water on the hopes of the Higa team from Okinawa.
"A serve that scores? I can't believe it."
"I heard that Hyotei won the Kanto Tournament by using their super-fast serves to ensure they didn't lose any points in their service games."
"If you don't lose your service game, doesn't that mean you'll never lose?"
"It looks like it's true."
People in Higa started having existential crises, considering that Higa Junior High had won every game all the way to the national tournament.
Kito Eishiro glanced sideways and secretly analyzed, "I won't lose if I guarantee my serve. I didn't expect someone to think the same way as me. That person must be Natsume Tsukiya."
Higa Junior High School's achievement in reaching this point is entirely due to the efforts of Eishiro Kite.
The national competition has hundreds of participating schools, but only a handful make it this far.
However, Higa still dominated Kyushu.
Unlike others, Eishiro Kidate grasped the key characteristic of tennis: as long as you hold your serve, you won't lose!
So he taught each of his team members the short-range technique and his unique serve.
He had always taken pride in this idea, but he never expected to meet someone who shared the same thoughts. It was hard not to be shocked.
"Bang!"
When it was Kai Yujiro's turn to serve, he was surprised by his opponent's incredibly fast serve, but he remained calm and confident that he could hold his serve.
"Bang!"
Hiyoshi hits the ball over.
As if standing on a skateboard and keeping his body still, Kai Yujiro instantly arrived in front of the court.
"He's ahead."
"Score!"
"That Shrinking Earth Technique is indeed an extraordinary movement technique."
"Their opponent is still too inexperienced; they actually thought they could beat us, Higa, just by serving."
Higa Junior High School has attracted a lot of enthusiastic fans this time, who are very arrogant and armed with martial arts skills.
Despite the ridicule, Hiyoshi Waka remained calm.
"Bang!"
Kai Yujiro aimed at Hiyoshi Waka's back, grinned, and suddenly swung his sword.
The counterattack can happen in an instant.
Kai Yujiro predicted a 100% chance of scoring, and with enough time for his opponent to turn around, he relaxed.
"call out!"
Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Hiyoshi Wakashi's entire body flashed outside the boundary line. At first glance, it seemed that he had been waiting there all along and had never moved.
"How is that possible? He clearly..." Kai Yujiro was dumbfounded.
"Smack!"
Hiyoshi gave Kai Yujiro no time to react, shooting a straight fiber optic cable into the corner of the court.
"As expected, apart from their captain, none of them can use the left and right shrinking technique."
"Zero to fifteen!"
The crowd outside the venue was astonished.
"How is that possible?"
"Hey, wasn't he in front just now?"
"That's right, it's not an illusion, it's right in front of me."
Saori Shiba: "Who's that, Inoue-senpai?"
"Oh?" Inoue Mamoru was shocked.
Guan Yuechu asked in astonishment, "Um, could it also be the Shrinking Earth Technique?"
His glance startled everyone.
"What?! Hiyoshi of Hyotei also knows the Shrinking Earth Technique?"
Higa and his companions were even more confused.
"How could that be? Don't be ridiculous."
"That's right, besides us from Higa, Okinawa, who else knows the Shrinking Earth Technique? It can't be anyone else."
Eishiro Kite's expression was solemn.
Shrinking Earth Technique was his signature skill, yet someone managed to learn it so easily?
Eishiro Kite was furious. Yes, furious. His pride and joy had been so easily taken away by his opponent.
What was taken away was not a skill, but his confidence.
"You brat, don't get too cocky."
Kai Yujiro was filled with anger this time, and the power of his serve was imbued with rage.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
'
The two exchanged blows for several rounds.
"Behold my pirate horn!!"
Kai Yujiro gripped his racket in reverse, met the incoming ball head-on, and unleashed a streak of light.
Hiyoshi jumped to one side.
Kai Yujiro smiled, and the ball suddenly veered off course, flying to the other side—this was his signature move, Pirate's Horn!
call out!
Hiyoshi Wakashi's figure flashed again, and he actually shifted to the side.
"Bang!"
"Zero to thirty!"
"How...how is this possible?"
Kai Yujiro's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Kite Eishiro outside the arena, his eyes filled with doubt.
Eishiro Kite gripped the railing tighter and tighter—
What exactly is going on?
It's one thing that it can move forward and backward, but that thing can even move sideways?
Doesn't that instantly eliminate your advantage?
"I heard that guy is still a substitute?" Tian Renzhihui said.
"Shut up!" Eishiro Kite snapped angrily.
"!"
"Bang!"
"Zero to forty!"
"They actually made it to match point by using high-speed serves and the short-range shot."
Saori Shiba kept pressing the shutter buttons on her camera, then looked up and said:
. . . . .
"Five to zero! If we win this game, we'll have a shutout!"
"Snapped!"
Kai Yujiro actually threw his racket away.
"oh!"
The crowd outside the arena was taken aback.
"Sorry, I couldn't hold it."
Kai Yujiro chuckled, but inwardly he was furious; that guy had actually used the Shrinking Earth Technique to dodge.
"Accept divine punishment."
Hiyoshi said, "The Azure Dragon governs war, the White Tiger governs slaughter! Autumn Punishment!"
"!"
The ball was hit like a tiger descending a mountain.
The ball, bouncing wildly, suddenly flew towards Kai Yujiro.
"puff!"
Unable to avoid it in time.
Kai Yujiro was hit squarely in the face by a ball, flew backward, and his hat rolled to the side.
"Match over! Hyotei Hiyoshi wins, score 6-0!"
The referee announced.
Everyone was quite surprised.
"That guy from Hyotei is terrifying."
"Kai has been subjected to divine punishment."
"It seems like the other person is not someone to be trifled with."
"However, six to zero is just too embarrassing."
Has this ever happened before?
"No, right?"
The high spirits of Ichibiga Junior High School were shattered.
"Damn it."

Kai Yujiro touched his bleeding nose and shouted angrily.
Eishiro Kite pounded on the railing. "Those guys..."
