"Genta looked down at the Sandy Soil under their feet and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't Mr. Mabuchi say earlier that the characteristic of a Red Clay Tennis Court is that the ball has a lot of friction with the Ground when it lands, and the rebound speed of the Ball is slow?""
Come, come, come, tell him, where was the rebound speed of that Ball just now slow?
Conan chuckled dryly in his Heart. In theory, that was right, but Chi Feichei this Fellow... was simply not Human!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Mabuchi Kyohei Expressionless looked at the Ball quickly bouncing away from him.
Chi Feichei Speak Out and Asked, "Still playing?"
Mabuchi Kyohei took a deep breath and Nodded firmly, "Play!"
He was very sure that even if he tried a hundred more times, he still wouldn't be able to receive that Ball from Chi Feichei.
Then, he would make it so that Chi Feichei couldn't receive his Ball either!
From the Trace on the Ground and the Wire Fence, and the State of the Ball landing, it could be seen that the Ball Chi Feichei had hit just now had no Spin.
It was just a Lightning Ball created by excessive Strength.
But as a Professional Player, he understood the Movement Pattern of a Tennis Ball flying out better, and he also understood some profound Skill. Perhaps he could use the Transformation of a Spin Ball to make it so that Chi Feichei couldn't receive his Ball either, and forcefully make it a Draw.
Then he would Take a Gamble, Gambling that Chi Feichei's Skill was not as good as his!
"Bang!"
Mabuchi Kyohei used a Topspin Serve, not only Intending to use a Spin Ball to Suppress Chi Feichei, but also using the characteristic of Sandy Soil being easy for Foot to slip, wanting to make the Landing Point further away and make Chi Feichei run, increasing the Probability of Chi Feichei Mistake.
"Pa!"
The Ball landed for the First Time, and it wasn't close to Chi Feichei. The Spin on the Sand after landing also made the Angle of the Ball bounce off deviate.
Chi Feichei had already moved in front of the Ball. Due To the Ball rotating during Movement, using a normal Return Method might make the Ball fly off to who-knows-where. He also used Skill to receive the Ball, making the Spin Speed of the Tennis Ball flying out a little faster, while the Strength was slightly controlled.
"Bang! Pa! Bang!"
The Ball once again landed at high Speed, flashed past Mabuchi Kyohei's side, bounced up and smashed into the Protective Net.
Chi Feichei: "..."
It seemed that he needed to reduce his Strength a little more.
Mabuchi Kyohei: "..."
Sorry, he still couldn't receive this Ball.
Moreover, the Trajectory of the Ball bouncing after landing, and the Ball that was still spinning after hitting the Protective Net, told him that Chi Feichei wasn't incapable of Spin Ball.
He just didn't use it Before, because he felt it was unnecessary?
(_)
Expression gradually Grievance.
It Seemingly didn't Matter whether he used Spin Skill or not, he couldn't receive the other party's Ball...
Chi Feichei saw Mabuchi Kyohei showing this kind of Expression, and was Speechless in his Heart, "Still playing?"
Although Mabuchi Kyohei's appearance was not bad, he really had no Interest in Men. If a girl showed this Expression, it might be cute, but changing it to a big Man was a bit unbearable to Look at directly, making him want to hit the Ball at Mabuchi Kyohei's Face... No, that wouldn't do. In front of the upright and righteous Elementary School Student, he was Not That Kind Of violent Human.
Mabuchi Kyohei took another deep breath and Nodded, "Continue playing! Play to the End according to the Match Rules."
Although Coach didn't want him to be too competitive and spare no Price for Victory, as a Professional Tennis Player, he still needed to have the necessary Perseverance.
He couldn't do something like leaving in Frustration without finishing the Match.
Next, he would lower his Request. He didn't ask to be able to get a Draw with this Monster anymore, he would try his best to score Points.
In a Tennis Match, Men's singles, except for the Grand Slam Tournament and the Year-End Finals which are best-of-five sets, other Matches are best-of-three sets.
Private Matches are generally played using the best-of-three sets system. What Mabuchi Kyohei said about playing to the End according to the Match Rules meant using this Match Method.
And each Bet Match has six Games. The Victory Request for a single Bet Match is that the Point Difference is at least two Games.
In Other Words, the score to End each Bet Match could be 4:6, 3:6, etc., but it couldn't be an Ending score of 5:6 where the Point Difference was less than 2. If it was a 6:6 Draw, then a Tie-break Game was needed to see which side reached the seventh Point First. The person who reached the seventh Point First would win that Bet Match.
And each small Game is composed of 4 Points, but the Scoring System is not 1 Point, 2 Points, 3 Points, 4 Points, but the First Time scoring is 15 Points, the Second Time scoring is 30 Points, the Third Time scoring is 40 Points, and finally getting another 1 Point counts as winning.
A very strange Scoring System.
Small Games also follow the Rule of 'at least two Point Difference to win'. If it's 40:40 Draw, even if one side wins the fourth 1 Point next Time, they won't win directly. The scoreboard will use 'AD' to indicate 'leading', and they have to win another Point for this Game to be considered won.
"Bang!"
"Pa!"
The sound of Tennis Ball Blow was constantly heard on the court, demonstrating the Charm of Strength.
The score was also constantly advancing.
"15:0..."
"30:0..."
"40:0..."
...
Soon, the First Game ended.
"Exchange Station?" Chi Feichei Asked.
There is a Rule in formal Tennis Matches that after the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and other odd-numbered Games in each Bet Match, and when the sum of the Games between the two sides at the End of each Bet Match is an odd number, the two sides Exchange Station.
Mabuchi Kyohei Nodded silently and Exchanged Station with Chi Feichei.
The Match continued.
Chi Feichei smoothly won 6 Games First, the score Point Difference was greater than 2, and the First Bet Match ended.
Ayumi put her Hands in front of her Skirt Hem, her Fingers tightly pinched together, watching Mabuchi Kyohei's Eyes gradually become watery.
Mabuchi Kyohei used all kinds of Methods when Serving, trying to score Points, but unfortunately Chi Feichei could Return them all.
And Chi Feichei's Serve was much simpler, and it was difficult for Mabuchi Kyohei to hold on to Return for a Rally.
The whole Situation was Just Like an Adult beating Children, relying on their own Physical Advantage, completely unreasonable.
With Chi Feichei's Ability to mobilize the Strength around his Body, choosing the best Method of exerting Strength had almost become a Habit. It was difficult to restrain Oneself even if he wanted to hold back. Coupled with his terrifying Arm Strength now, even if he didn't talk about Skill or Tactics, and restrained his Strength, he could still make it difficult for Mabuchi Kyohei to Handle.
In the End, Chi Feichei still forcefully restrained his Method of exerting Strength and Strength, and let Mabuchi Kyohei score twice, and had two more Rallies with Mabuchi Kyohei with give and take.
Until the End, Mabuchi Kyohei was still Stunned.
Although Chi Feichei took care of his Face and didn't let him get 'bald-headed', thinking about the two Points he let him score at the End, he was still so sad.
_
Expression gradually Grievance.
In This Situation, it Seemingly didn't Matter whether Chi Feichei let him or not, he was Grievance!
Chi Feichei saw Mabuchi Kyohei showing this kind of Expression again, and forcefully endured the Impulse to smash the Racket over.
As a Professional Player, could he not show this kind of Expression of a young lady being bullied? Could he maintain the demeanor of a Professional Player?
But it Seemingly was a bit too much, so should he Comfort him?
Mabuchi Kyohei was still quite nice. After the Last Time Matters ended, he took the Initiative to come to Find People again Before this Competition, which could be considered conveying the Goodwill of 'making Friends', and this Personality of his was also quite comfortable to get along with.
However, Chi Feichei suddenly Realized of a Famous Detective hugging his Head and rolling around in his Car, and decisively gave up the Idea of Comfort.
He didn't quite Understand the Mentality of exploding after being Comforted, so Never Mind.
He could shift the Responsibility—who asked Mabuchi Kyohei to insist on comparing Tennis?
If he was Find People to team up to play Basketball, the Request for Strength wouldn't be that high, and if he Tested his Team Cooperation Ability, Mabuchi Kyohei Probably wouldn't lose.
If it was playing table tennis, his Strength might be too much and he might shoot Oneself in the Foot, and instead not play well, but he was also not bad at playing table tennis, and it was not certain who would win or lose.
After All, table tennis was what he played from childhood in his Previous Life, adapting to various harsh Condition such as brick Table, Book pile Table, Cardboard playing, Wooden Board playing, brick Racket playing...
The inside and outside of the court were silent for a Moment. Mabuchi Kyohei recovered and felt that it was a Pity that Chi Feichei didn't play in Competitions, but when he Thought of Coach Dong Tian Yue's Attitude, it was inconvenient to directly Ask Chi Feichei to play in Competitions. He Stepped Forward and said implicitly, "Actually, Coach Dong Tian's Intention is not to oppose you playing Professional Matches, Just..."
"Don't overthink it," Chi Feichei Understood the Real Intention Mabuchi Kyohei wanted to express, "I have no Interest in playing Professional Competition."
Mabuchi Kyohei: "..."
(_)
Even if Chi Feichei Oneself didn't have that Interest, he still felt it was a Pity not to see Chi Feichei on the Competition field.
No Matter how he Thought about it, it was a Pity...
Gradually Grievance.
Chi Feichei shifted his Line of Sight and Looked Towards the Junior Detective League watching the Excitement at the edge of the court. If he continued to Look, he was worried that he would really make a violent Action like 'Racket slapping Face'. With a Cold Face, he reminded the five Kid, "Training!"
Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi Subconsciously stood up straight, "Uh... Yes!"
Conan and Haibara Ai's Hearts also tightened, and then they were Speechless.
Just won against a Professional Player, could Chi Feichei show a little bit of Happy Expression?
Suddenly being so fierce, Just Like being provoked by someone, it was very scary...
Okay, okay, they would continue Training, okay?
When the Junior Detective League was Training, Chi Feichei watched for a while, picked up a Tennis Ball, and Looked Towards Mabuchi Kyohei, "Mabuchi, Look."
Mabuchi Kyohei Looked Towards Chi Feichei in Doubt.
Chi Feichei tossed the Tennis Ball and hit it using a Slice Serve Method, with very light Strength.
Slice Serve is to hit the Ball from the upper right to the lower left. The Ball Speed is Fast, and the Serve hit rate is also High. Many athletes in Various Countries are accustomed to Slice Serve.
The Ball that Chi Feichei served was not considered Fast Ball Speed, even quite Slow, completely violating the characteristics of Slice Serve, and the Flight Path of the Ball also revealed a trace of weirdness. The Landing Point and bounce Method after crossing the Net were even more beyond Mabuchi Kyohei's Expectation.
After Mabuchi Kyohei finished Watching, he Looked at Chi Feichei in a Stunned manner.
If he was standing on the opposite side of the court, facing this Serve, First of all, the Ball Speed would completely exceed his Expectation and make his Pace lose control. And even if he stabilized, the Landing Point and bounce Method of the Ball that he couldn't Guess at all would also make him run in the wrong Direction or Distance, and he wouldn't be able to receive this Ball.
"Bring the Strength upwards a A Bit." Chi Feichei didn't take the Tennis Ball again, but Just used a very Slow Speed to Swing the Racket in the air, letting Mabuchi Kyohei see clearly the subtle Action of his Body and Arm when Serving.
These subtle Actions were also the Core of Skill.
Mabuchi Kyohei Looked at it twice, followed suit and imitated it, slowly Feeling the Difference between this Serving Style and normal Serving Style.
Chi Feichei corrected it a few times, and after Confirming that Mabuchi Kyohei had remembered the Key Points, he calmly reminded, "Don't practice anymore, you have a Competition Tomorrow, it's too late to practice and learn, it will instead Impact your State. There's no other Shortcut, practice more, Find Feeling Oneself, and you can Adjust appropriately according to your own Feeling."
(End of Chapter)
Come, come, come, tell him, where was the rebound speed of that Ball just now slow?
Conan chuckled dryly in his Heart. In theory, that was right, but Chi Feichei this Fellow... was simply not Human!
