One of the countless ice pillars surrounding Tezuka suddenly shattered.
Tezuka's movements were stiff; even in his state of egolessness, he couldn't move an inch.
"1-0, St. Rudolph scores."
As the referee announced the verdict, the crowd snapped out of their daze, most of them looking bewildered.
Was this shot special?
It's just a normal fast serve, why doesn't Tezuka move at all?
“It’s a blind spot,” Inui Sadaharu said in a dry voice.
"Ah, what a terrible fellow."
Fuji Syusuke opened his eyes and looked at "Kanjuu Hajime" with a complicated expression.
In this game, who outsmarted whom?
The state of selflessness is indeed very strong, but blind spots are not something that can be easily eliminated.
If Tezuka were given enough time, Fuji Syusuke believed he could overcome his weaknesses and find a way to compensate within a few games, but by the time the tiebreaker came, neither time nor information was available.
"Dead, blind spot? Is it even possible to do something like that?" Kikumaru looked at the two of them in astonishment.
“Yes, Hyotei’s captain, Atobe Keigo, can see his opponent’s weaknesses with his eyesight. With that person’s talent, it’s only a matter of time before he sees through someone’s blind spots.” Inui Sadaharu gave an example directly, and then said in a heavy tone, “I just didn’t expect that this Mizuki Hajime could do something like that. He’s a really frightening guy.”
With his strategic intelligence tennis, data tennis that rivals his own, Tezuka's defensive chopping skills, and Atobe Keigo's keen eye, these elements combined are enough to make him a top-tier national-level player.
Even though... there is still a slight gap in physical fitness.
"Wow, Mizuki actually had such a hidden method?" Yanagisawa exclaimed in amazement upon hearing the explanation from Seigaku.
"As expected of Mizuki, even we can't fathom his strength." Akazawa Yoshiro breathed a sigh of relief.
He shared similar thoughts with Fuji Syusuke. The state of egolessness is terrifying, and it would be very insidious to scheme against Mizuki at this time. But he didn't expect Mizuki to be even more insidious than him... well, to be a bit more cunning.
This "world of ice" may not be stronger than the "state of selflessness," but under the same conditions, the former can almost overwhelm the latter in a short period of time.
Aizen, who could roughly understand what others were thinking, chuckled to himself.
Good heavens, if Mizuki were this strong, he wouldn't have been so easily defeated by Fuji Syusuke.
In fact, the world of ice was an unexpected creation for Aizen as well.
Upon arriving in this world, although he wasn't particularly interested in a sports anime given his current level, he wasn't worried about figuring out some special techniques since he had come to a world he used to enjoy. However, he discovered that he couldn't create anything like the state of selflessness or the annihilation of the five senses, let alone things like black holes or the Asura Shinto at the U17 level.
He couldn't experience the idealistic state of selflessness, and he had no theoretical basis to refer to for more fantastical abilities like extinguishing the five senses.
In the end, he could only focus his attention on purely technical skills.
Although those moves were extremely unscientific in my previous life, in this world, knowing the so-called "principles" still allows me to execute them.
In this regard, Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke are undoubtedly the best.
As a result, Aizen copied most of their purely technical moves, but these skills were clearly not enough to secure a victory over Tezuka as planned.
Just as he was preparing to replicate techniques like the Wave Ball and Round Table Smash, he suddenly thought of another national-level player, Atobe.
Although Mizuki's eyesight is not as good as Atobe's, that doesn't mean Aizen's eyesight is inferior to Atobe's.
Dynamic vision is dynamic vision, and eyepower is eyepower; they are not entirely the same thing.
In fact, Aizen's eyesight, at the peak of his Shinigami level, far surpassed that of Atobe, a mere mortal, only limited by Kanzuki's visual abilities. So he tried combining his eyesight with data tennis, and the result was... an ice world!
Before we could even coordinate, the Ice World move was born naturally.
Although her eyesight is a weakness, her vision makes up for it greatly. After all, Guan Yuechu's eyes are only not exceptionally good, and she has no disability or defect in her eyes.
When he focused on giving full play to his eyesight, the world of ice was born.
However, Aizen couldn't copy the Atobe Kingdom's design; it required much higher eyesight, and Kanzuki's basic requirements didn't even meet the minimum standards.
However, for Aizen, defeating Tezuka was enough.
Because his current data is like this.
Kanzuki Aizome and Ikumu
Strength: A+
Talent: D
Talent: A
Abilities: Intelligence Tennis A, Data Tennis S, Close-Angle Shot B, Zero-Style Chop A, Zero-Style Serve S, Triple Return B, Phoenix Returns to Nest A, Kirin Landing A, White Dragon A+, Hundred-Armed Giant's Guardian S, Vanishing Serve C, Topspin Serve D, Tannhäuser Serve A+~S, Ice World S+...
Next come various lower-level ball skills, such as the snake shot and the vertical jump shot.
Even if Tezuka didn't play at the current pace, in his opinion, just one of these techniques, Hundred-Armed Giant's Protection, would be enough to secure a three- to four-round victory. After all, even Shiraishi, with his perfect fundamentals, took so long to break through it. No matter how strong Tezuka Kunimitsu's chopping technique was, it was impossible for him to break through it in a short time. Including Ice World, he was guaranteed to win no matter how he played.
Aizen's current strategy is to make the match as difficult and complicated as possible, so that no one would doubt that he narrowly defeated his opponent in the end.
Everything is going according to plan.
Tezuka, in his state of selflessness, is constantly being scored on in the world of ice. Note: In the tiebreaker, the serve alternates, with A serving first, then B serving two, then A serving two, and so on, with each subsequent serve being two.
2-0
2-1
3-1
4-1
4-2
4-3
Even as he realized the situation was dire, Tezuka Kunimitsu maintained a cold expression. He simply forced himself to use the Zero-Shiki serve to create an opportunity for himself, his reddened elbows proving that his arm was already overloaded.
"Tezuka!"
"That's really persistent."
Upon noticing a subtle change in the white light emanating from Tezuka Kunimitsu, Aizen sighed inwardly before continuing to score two more points with his serve.
"6-3, St. Rudolph scores."
But the game is about to end with the next ball.
With that in mind, it was another simple and straightforward serve.
Just as the ball was about to break the scattered icicles, they all suddenly shattered automatically in an instant.
Snapped!
They fought back.
Aizen paused for a moment, then hit the ball back.
"To unleash the full potential of one's talent, one must operate the brain at its fastest speed to make up for all weaknesses in the shortest possible time."
However, Aizen was only slightly surprised before he raised his racket and moved forward when Tezuka hit the ball back again.
Immediately afterwards, all anyone saw was the ball rolling on the racket face, then the racket flipped over and rolled again.
"this!"
Shusuke Fuji's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
Aizen, who could roughly guess Fuji Syusuke's mindset, revealed a slightly mischievous smile and then hit the ball hard using both sides of the racket.
Without even glancing at the final result, Aizen picked up the paddle, turned, and walked towards the door.
pat.
The ball hit the net and slowly landed.
"7-5, St. Rudolph scores."
"7-6, St. Rudolph Moonwatch wins!"
"Ding! Newbie quest completed by defeating Seigaku. Score as follows."
"Acting skills rating: 83 points."
Hidden Score Added as follows
"Losing the doubles match result in a penalty of 5 points."
"The score is 5 points for losing the singles game."
"A narrow victory in the singles game, adding 10 points."
Overall score: 103 points, rating: S!
"Actor Points Awarded: 5100 points".
"Immersion level: 71%, three random abilities will be available, and you can choose one to acquire."
Chapter 55 This time, it's really goodbye. 3/6
really.
Aizen paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He didn't put in as much effort in playing Guan Yuechu; instead, he played it more casually, yet his overall score still exceeded the highest possible score.
In other words, he was right. The essence of the system is not just about achieving a goal without being suspected, but about getting points for doing anything reasonable, even if it is not the truth, around that goal.
As for why he didn't just ask his "partners"...
I'm sorry, but he doesn't completely trust the system. Cooperation is only a last resort and doesn't mean he will give it his full trust.
He prefers to try things out himself rather than asking questions.
The answer was as expected.
Previously, it was said that the highest "Best Actor" value for the mission was 5,000 points, but now it has been reduced to 5,100. This clearly says something.
"Mission complete. Should I go back immediately?" Aizen asked, realizing he hadn't returned right away.
"Completing the task allows you to remain for a certain period of time; the current limit is one hour."
"enough."
After confirming the answer, Aizen wanted to complete the experiment he most wanted to do.
Aizen completely ignored the announcement that St. Rudolf had won and advanced.
Noticing Mizuki's absent-mindedness, Fuji Yuuta suppressed his faint smile and asked him with a puzzled look, "Mitsuki, aren't you happy that you won the match?"
"No, I was just thinking about something. Besides, wasn't the answer already decided?"
Aizen replied with his usual smile, then smiled at everyone and said, "I have some personal matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. May you all have great success in your military endeavors."
After saying that, Aizen didn't offer any further explanation and left the arena first.
The laughter of Saint Rudolf and the others, who were cheering and celebrating, suddenly stopped, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with Mizuki?"
"What did he mean by his last words? Could it be that he wants to transfer schools?"
"I don't think so, we beat Seigaku."
"I don't know, let's ask again in a couple of days."
On his way out, Aizen was stopped by a middle-aged man and a young woman.
Aizen recognized the person upon seeing their appearance.
Isn't that Inoue Mamoru and Shiba Saori, who just watched the entire match between the two schools?
"Hello, Mizuki-san. I'm a reporter from Tennis Weekly, I..."
"I'm sorry. I have things to do right now. If you have any questions, please come back in a few days."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Aizen politely declined.
Seeing his attitude, Inoue Mamoru was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
After Aizen had been gone for a while, Shiba Saori said with a mix of complaint and interest, "Such a disrespectful attitude, what a handsome young man with a strong personality."
"Let's go now, we'll go to St. Rudolph for the interview in a few days."
"I can't believe it," said Mamoru Inoue, who was wearing a camera. He shook his head.
