28. Kase and Akaji!
19:30
Tokyo Station...
"Sorry, did you wait a long time?"
"No, I just arrived."
Momoi looked at Bai Jin, who was constantly picking the ball with his racket, waved his hand and leaned over to speak.
Seeing Momoi coming, Shiratsu stopped what he was doing, and at the same time tucked the tennis ball into his trouser pocket and clamped the racket under his armpit.
Momoi who came out this time wore a well-fitting sportswear instead of the school uniform he had always wore, tied a ponytail, and wore a hat on his head, which looked very lively and cute.
On the other hand, Bai Jin is the team uniform and jacket of the Diguang tennis club that he has been wearing.
For him, there probably is no more comfortable clothes than this.
The two of them then began to walk towards the bustling neighborhood.
There was still some time left before the movie they wanted to see, and the two of them were just walking around the mall and the streets.
"Look at the time, the match agreed between Huang Se-kun and Akaji-kun is about to start."
Glancing at the clock on the side of the road, Momoi glanced at Shiratsu and said.
19:55
"Almost."
Hearing Momoi mention this, Bai Jin also remembered it, but he was not interested in it.
"Xiaobai, you really don't seem to care at all."
"Obviously, Xiaohuang has a lot of potential now."
Twisting around in front of Bai Jin, with his hands behind his back, Momoi stared at Bai Jin's eyes and spoke.
"Potential is potential, not the same as current strength."
"You also know that Kase will definitely not be Akaji's opponent right now."
Shaking his head, it's not that Huang Se can't do it, but his opponent is Akaji, which means that Huang Se can't win.
"Maybe, he's working hard."
"If he can really imitate it to a deeper level, it is possible to surpass Akaji-kun."
Thinking of Huang Se's performance during these times, Momoi couldn't help but be pleased.
Although he was a layman at first, that hard work and talent were definitely not fake.
"Beyond Akaji... Is it? ”
Hearing Momoi's praise of Huang Se, Shiratsu repeated a sentence and did not rush to refute.
Momoi's understanding of Akaji only exists where it manifests.
However, it is no wonder, because when Akaji really showed his strength, Momoi did not observe it.
But Bai Jin is very clear ...
Akaji not only holds the Eye of the Selfless and the Emperor, but even owns the Zone.
It's a pity that Akaji's grip on his own abilities has been cracked.
Zone and the Eye of the Emperor are exclusive to Richiji, and the Selfless Realm is exclusive to Omote Chiji.
Neither side has crossed the line with each other, and in Bai Jin's opinion, it is the different characteristics of the two personalities.
Maybe one day when the two become one, Akaji will be able to play "full strength" in the true sense.
Just like he did in the anime.
However, even so, today's Akaji is not something that Kase can handle.
Huang Se's foundation is there, and the potential is not fully developed, and the strength is too average.
If his ceiling is just a flawless imitation, it is simply a few minutes of war.
And it is impossible for tennis to solve the opponent in a few minutes when it encounters a strong opponent, let alone the subsequent World Championship or the BO3 format.
If you can only rise for a few minutes and fall to the ground, you can't be called a strong person at all, because you can't win the game...
And now Huang Se, he can't even imitate his Chidori and Spiral Pill, obviously the initial "realm" is very high, but he doesn't seem to be able to understand the mystery at all.
The reason why Akaji wants to propose training with Huang Se, Shiratsu can guess a little.
…………
"You're here early."
Akaji watched Huang Se arrive at the reserved stadium early and wait, and couldn't help but speak.
"Because the thought of going to fight Akaji Koji makes me excited."
Huang Se tightened the racket in his hand, and his tone was full of excitement.
Who doesn't know that Akaji has the least shots in the school, and it's almost a rare thing to want to fight him.
Although Bai Jin is also very powerful, everyone is used to fighting with him, and there is no overreaction.
Akaji was the only one, and they had less contact on the court.
But judging from other people's mouths and performances, Akaji's toughness is definitely not weaker than Shiratsu.
"Da..."
Akaji turned his head to look at the person sitting in the referee's chair, as if there was no surprise.
"Huh? I'm thinking you're going to be short of referees, so don't get me wrong. ”
Midorima didn't reveal his thoughts of watching the battle at all, but said with an expression of "don't get me wrong".
"Really, this guy Green Boy obviously cares in his heart, so he has to make a look of indifference."
Purple Hara stood outside the stadium eating a snack and shook his head as he looked at Midorima, who was sitting in the referee's seat.
"That's what I'm saying, I just want to watch the game up close, and I'm so unfrank."
The god of fire, Kuroko, and Aomine also stood beside him, looking at the field and speaking.
Although it was just an ordinary team practice match, everyone valued each other.
No matter how they look at it, they can always learn something or a long insight from it.
As a result, it has grown faster...
"Let's get started."
Before coming to the venue, Akaji and Kase had already warmed up, so there was no such thing as warming up on the spot.
(Hey...) )
Kase walked outside the baseline and picked up the tennis ball in his hand and hit the ground a few times, while staring at Akaji.
I saw that Akaji maintained an indifferent expression and waited for the serve.
"Hah!"
Raising the racket in his hand, he swung the racket violently, and the ball quickly passed through the net and landed on the halfway line and bounced up.
Akaji just took a step forward and struck the ball back in a sideways position.
The landing point of this ball happened to be on the bottom line in the opposite direction that Huang Se should not have reached.
"Whew!"
Seeing the ball bounce up on the edge of the limit of the right area, Huang Se's expression suddenly became cold, and his temperament also changed.
He ran at a blistering pace, easily intercepting the ball and hitting it back.
"Smack!"
“15-0!”
The ball was based on the opposite position, but instead landed on the edge of Akaji's area and bounced.
Midorima looked at Akaji, who was not moving, and declared the score.
"How's that!"
After winning a ball, Huang Se recovered from that "cold" state again, and asked Akaji excitedly.
"Sure enough, the speed is the same as Daiki."
"Go on, Ryota."
"Hey, then I'm going to keep going!"
"Hah!"
Sending the ball out, Akaji chased the ball over and easily hit a lob ball, causing Kase to jump high.
"Smack!"
With a violent swing sound, with a whistling sound, the tennis ball slammed into Akaji's back and bounced.
“30-0!”
First Aomine, this time it's Vulcan...
Today, Kase is becoming more and more adept at imitating their movements and "characteristics".
