"Ah Chun, are you ready with that move?"

"of course."

Snapped.

Another topspin serve.

This time, Momoshiro Takeshi handled the situation even more skillfully.

Just as the ball was returned, Liu Ze raised his hands high in a strange posture, which puzzled many people, but others quickly realized what was going on.

"No, that's the posture for a golf ball!"

"What does he want to do?"

Swish!

A golden light flashed and disappeared.

Laser beam!

Kaoru Kaidou, who was about to continue with his spinning snake shot, suddenly froze and could only rely on instinct to return it. He probably guessed right, and managed to return it awkwardly, but unfortunately, it was a very poor quality high lob.

Tennis, Jun Kisarazu leaps high into the air.

"Will it be a smash, or a dazzling volley?"

Momoshiro Takeshi's mind raced, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Never mind, I'll just guess!

Without hesitation, Momoshiro Takeshi gritted his teeth and charged towards the net.

boo.

Kisarazu Jun spun in the air and hit a short ball as expected. Momoshiro Takeshi was delighted and got into a swinging position to wait for the tennis ball to bounce up.

"It's no use, this isn't some fancy volley."

Aizen said softly, his eyes indifferent.

The moment the ball bounced, Takeshi Momoshiro's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Because the ball... bounced back.

Chapter 43 Doubles Team's Defeat 1/4

The ball bounced back.

Standing at the net and holding the ball, Jun Kisarazu whistled at the dumbfounded Takeshi Momoshiro.

"How about it? Isn't it even more gorgeous now?"

"What, what kind of ball is this..." Momoshiro Takeshi's voice was hoarse, and his previously high morale was instantly shattered.

"A gorgeous... yo-yo."

When he said the name, Kisarazu Jun looked reluctant, and a faint sense of shame made it difficult for him to speak.

Momoshiro Takeshi: "..."

Kaoru Kaidou: "..."

The eyes of Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke on the sidelines were somewhat strange; Kisarazu Jun's moves reminded them of one of their own signature moves.

Of course, they don't think this move is better than theirs, but there are indeed similarities.

"This was accomplished using a slice shot technique. The shot itself isn't difficult; what's truly terrifying is the opponent's ability to maintain balance in the air."

Putting down his notebook, Inui Sadaharu, dressed in a white shirt, solemnly explained to the puzzled crowd around him: "If you're standing on the ground, you can use this move too, but that would be a high lob, which is easier to receive than the Swallow Returns to its Nest. However, when used while jumping, the lob is skipped, resulting in a downward lob. Plus, it forces the opponent to make a psychological decision about whether it's a smash or a short ball, making it even harder to defend against."

"Since it's not too difficult, can we learn it too?" Horio's eyes darted around, seemingly wanting to learn from them.

As soon as he said that, the players on St. Rudolf's side couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... That kid really dares to dream. If Ah Chun's move were so easy to learn, he wouldn't be our ace doubles player."

"Guan Yue said that only the exceptionally talented Chun could master this move, and only an all-around player who has been trained countless times could possibly learn it."

"The prerequisite for completing this move is a brilliant short interception, but we can't even do that."

Horio's face flushed red, but he was powerless to refute her.

Fortunately, Fuji Syusuke stepped in to help him out, smiling as he said, "That's right, the essence of this move is still based on a beautiful short volley. While a beautiful short volley isn't too difficult to receive, its difficulty level is by no means low. It requires excellent hang time, excellent aerial balance, and a very high degree of waist flexibility. Even the slice shot itself requires the use of waist rotation to execute smoothly, so even players with strong hang time and aerial balance can hardly replicate it."

Upon hearing this, Aizen cast an admiring glance at him.

Fuji Syusuke was indeed a true genius, but unfortunately his talent was wasted.

The principle behind this move actually comes from the "Guan Yuechu" table tennis technique. Anyone with a little skill in table tennis can hit a rebounding slice. However, a table tennis table is only so big, and there's simply no space to use it while maintaining a high-speed rally. Moreover, this type of shot can only be accurate against high lobs, making it very impractical in table tennis matches.

Table tennis, also known as table tennis, is a sport where techniques that are not suitable for table tennis are not suitable for tennis. Although the different sizes of the ball and the rackets increase the difficulty of the techniques, they also increase the practicality of the sport.

The principle behind the Zero-Style Chop is the same, but the Zero-Style is too difficult. Even if you know the principle, no one can learn it in the past few days.

Aizen skillfully combined this technique with Kisarazu Jun's strengths, making him a more threatening player than Yanagisawa in doubles once he mastered it. Even though this technique is slightly less technical than Zero Style, it possesses a deceptive quality that Zero Style lacks. Aside from the limitation of only being able to deal with high lobs, it's really hard to say which technique is stronger or weaker in terms of the technique itself.

With Yanagisawa and Kisarazu revealing their ultimate moves, the outcome of this match was already predetermined.

Ryuzaki Sumire, who also understood this, looked rather grim.

"Did you do this on purpose?" The old coach looked at Aizen with a murderous glare.

Aizen placed his hands behind the bench, leaned back leisurely, and said, "It's not exactly intentional, but I originally thought they could win without using their full strength. After all, Seigaku doesn't have a mature doubles team besides their golden doubles pair, so it's really unnecessary for our St. Rudolf's ace doubles team to go all out. However, those two have really good mental fortitude, exceeding my first script time and time again. But my script is perfect, so I'm sorry if they try to break my prediction."

"The first script?"

Ryuzaki Sumire's pupils contracted; she clearly understood the deeper meaning behind those words.

This shows that the boy had anticipated and prepared for the current situation. If Atao and Haitang didn't exceed expectations, the story would end under the boy's first script. Conversely, in the current situation, Yanagisawa Shinya and Kisarazu Junya are fully capable of regaining control.

"Laser beam, an evolved version of the golf-style shot, is Rikkai University's Yagyu Hiroshi's signature move. Because we haven't figured out the power generation characteristics of the laser beam itself, we can only modify the golf-style serve. Unfortunately, we don't play golf, so we can only come up with a pseudo-skill. For now, it's not as good as that gentleman Yagyu, but I think it's enough to deal with your Seigaku."

Aizen, his smile unwavering, continued to stab the other in the back.

This sentence doesn't mean that Rikkai's laser beam is particularly powerful, but rather that Ryuzaki Sumire can analyze and copy Rikkai's signature moves almost perfectly, making it even easier for Seigaku to obtain their data.

As an old and shrewd person, Ryuzaki Sumire was perfectly capable of understanding these words, and she secretly gritted her teeth as if she hadn't heard them.

"We, Seigaku, have lost this round, but the match isn't over yet. Since this pair is your ace doubles team, we'll take down doubles one."

"Hehe, let's wait and see."

Aizen smiled calmly, his unassuming demeanor and arrogance forming a stark contrast to Ryuzaki Sumire.

During the match, Momoshiro Takeshi, still unwilling to give up, unleashed another burst of energy, nearly causing Yanagisawa to lose again with the same smash that had previously knocked him unconscious. Fortunately, the week's training had mainly focused on improving his skills, stamina, and reaction time, and he only suffered a minor scrape. However, this only enraged Yanagisawa, who turned around and unleashed a laser beam to finish the game, hitting Momoshiro Takeshi on the forehead at close range and securing the final point.

Perhaps Yanagisawa's strength wasn't strong enough, or perhaps Momoshiro Takeshi's ability to withstand blows was more impressive. The ball that hit him head-on only caused his forehead to swell and he to cry out in pain a couple of times. He wasn't knocked unconscious in the same embarrassing way as Yanagisawa in the original story.

Even so, he still incurred hostility from the Seigaku members.

The St. Rudolphs' regulars looked on with disdain.

Ultimately, it was Yanagisawa who was attacked first. Momoshiro Takeshi dared to say that he had no intention of turning the game around by injuring Yanagisawa in that shot.

However, something unexpected happened in the doubles match 2.

This result did not diminish Aizen's smile, because the one who teamed up with Kindaichiro was not Akazawa Yoshiro, but... Nomura Takuya!

Chapter 44 Singles Battle Against Three Akazawa 2/4

In doubles one, Qingxue won miserably.

Seeing the two people standing in front of him, covered in sweat and looking dejected, Aizen wasn't angry. He still had that confident smile on his face: "Kaneda, you did very well. You almost defeated Seigaku's vice-captain at the last minute. You deserve praise."

Aizen seemed to be completely ignoring Nomura Takuya in his words.

This made Nomura clench his fists, his head bowed, filled with resentment.

He knew that this defeat was entirely his fault.

However, because Kikumaru, who was being targeted, was taking a break, he became overconfident in the two-on-one situation and wasted too much energy. When Kikumaru reappeared, Kikumaru, who was terrible at stamina, drained his energy as well, and both of them lost their ability to move.

Kindaichiro, who has no special moves and relies entirely on teamwork and doubles awareness, has no choice but to have a final one-on-one duel with Oishi Shuichiro.

Despite Kaneda's efforts to drag the match to a tiebreaker in the thirteenth round, he was still defeated by Oishi Shuichiro.

Aizen didn't say a word to Nomura until the two left.

Of course, this was a gesture he deliberately made.

Because his "script" and "prediction" for this match were both correct, it was only Nomura's mistake that caused the perfect script to go wrong. If he hadn't reacted at all, something would have been wrong.

This is an experiment by Aizen, an experiment about system tasks.

His script never went wrong, including the defeats of Nomura and Kaneda, which were all within his expectations.

The system gave him a beginner's task, but he didn't think that a task about acting was as simple as defeating Seigaku.

Actually, defeating Seigaku doesn't require that much trouble.

Following the original storyline, in doubles match two, Yanagisawa was warned to be careful of Momoshiro Takeshi in advance. Doubles match one was already a sure win, and then he personally went into singles match three, which ended the game.

This world has no time travelers, no reincarnated individuals, and it's not a fantasy or martial arts world; it has a background setting where a powerful monster possesses another's body.

In a world where everything except tennis is based on ordinary technology, anyone tasked with this mission, provided they paid even a little attention to the information about Mizuki, would be safe from being suspected of having problems with Mizuki. With their foresight and intelligence advantage, any transmigrator could easily complete this beginner's task.

This might actually be a reward task similar to a beginner's skill development task. So how is the task rating calculated?

Based on the reasonableness of the period during which the role was played?

I'm sorry, but please forgive Aizen for not believing me.

If the system hadn't encountered any unexpected problems, during Aizen's initial period when he had nothing, the difficulty of the "Pan Feng" and "Bon Clay" missions—whether it was defeating Hua Xiong, overcoming Sanji, or escaping Impel Down—was far greater than that of St. Rudolf and Seigaku.

In other words, in terms of the difficulty of the task, Guan Yuechu is inherently superior to the other two.

Therefore, there is only one possibility: a comprehensive calculation of task evaluation and completion rate, with little difference among the three tasks.

The "Observe the Moon" task is easy, which means that getting a high score on the "Observe the Moon" task is more difficult than the other two.

But no matter how you look at it, playing a transvestite and a battlefield general is more difficult than playing a student.

However, this is merely Aizen's speculation. Perhaps the other two's missions don't require combat; their objectives might simply be to prevent them from fighting Hua Xiong, or to avoid giving themselves away during the Baroque Works meeting. This is uncertain, so Aizen needs to experiment.

Given that he didn't excessively conceal his true nature, and even deliberately didn't perform perfectly, can he still receive high praise?

Therefore, Aizen wanted to try to make some small moves in the competition for the mission objective.

For example... to reasonably cause one of your own pairs to lose, without raising suspicion of a problem with their ability.

To put it simply, it's another interpretation of "actor," a term from a past life game.

The premise that St. Rudolf is better than Seigaku is that he is guaranteed not to fail. So, under this premise, adding more scenes without making people suspect him will increase the mission score.

It seems to be going very smoothly.

No one believed that Nomura and Kaneda's defeats were his fault.

This was something Aizen had planned and arranged long ago.

While these kids trained by him might not be able to dominate the country immediately, they are certainly not weak in terms of strength.

With his intelligence data, all he needs to do is have Nomura and Kaneda play doubles second, and Jun and Yanagisawa play doubles first, and they can easily win both doubles matches.

First of all, there is a gap in strength between the two teams in doubles.

Nomura and Kaneda both have a C-level individual ability, while Seigaku has two B-level abilities.

While Kaneda achieved an A in doubles ability, Seigaku had two A's, so Nomura's B was clearly a drag on the team.

A national-level gold-level doubles team versus a pair that still lags behind in both teamwork and skill—the gap between the two sides is quite obvious. Coupled with Nomura's smug and overconfident personality, even knowing their opponent's weaknesses, Aizen had already anticipated that Seigaku would turn the tables on him.

"Is it because of the protagonist's halo?"

Aizen, a smile on his face, murmured to himself.

However, others might not see it that way on the surface.

The Golden Doubles team became recognized as national-level players in their second year. Unlike Momoshiro Takeshi and his two rookies, they wouldn't try to master any powerful moves on the spot.

Although they were at a disadvantage, Seigaku's players started playing unpredictably. However, no matter how much trouble the Golden Doubles team caused, their fundamental abilities remained unchanged. Their weaknesses were still the same, and if they could maintain their rhythm, Seigaku would still lose.

The script for Doubles 1 itself was not wrong; it was a treasure trove for defeating the Golden Doubles. However, when Akazawa was replaced by Nomura, Nomura was bound to do something unexpected, making defeat inevitable.

If Aizen had actually won the doubles match, there wouldn't have been any real loss for him.
