Chapter 10 10 The Two Disappeared! The Cycle of Light and Shadow!

Chapter 10 10. The two disappeared! The cycle of light and shadow!

"Bang!"

"Swoosh!"

"Snap!"

"Hoo!"

In the constant confrontation between Shirazu and Aomine, the doubles seemed to have completely turned into a singles mode.

Kagami knew that he could not react faster than Aomine, so he chose to walk behind the baseline and almost gave the entire area to Aomine.

And Kuroko did not make any moves that made him feel present because of his agreement with Shirazu, which led to the scene seeming to have completely turned into a 1V1 between Aomine and Shirazu.

(As expected of Aomine, his eyes certainly could not focus on Chidori all the time, but he felt it with wildness, which was not stressful at all.)

(He could completely catch up with Chidori with his speed advantage.)

This was the number of times he had hit Chidori, but Aomine had already received it very skillfully.

This proved that Aomine had trained his wildness during this period and was not as immature as before.

"Got it!!"

"Bang!"

He hit the ball back with a backhand swing, and it bounced out of the right baseline where Shirazu couldn't catch up.

"1-1!"

Not long after the start, "Chidori" could be declared to be cracked by Aomine.

"Really amazing."

Looking at Aomine's happy expression, Shirazu could only sigh from the bottom of his heart.

Compared to the Kagami who had not awakened his wildness, Aomine was indeed a type that grew faster.

Although Shirazu's Chidori had not reached its limit, there was no obvious effect at present.

"Okay! Shirazu, if you don't come up with other moves, I'm going to win this game!"

As if making a victory declaration, Aomine spoke calmly. He knew that Shirazu still had something to hide, so he would not be too careless.

"Wow, it looks like the winner is decided now."

"I can't even see the path of the ball clearly."

"Chidori has been cracked, which means Shirazu has no advantage at all."

Murasara, Kise, and Midorima are not optimistic about the future development, but Momoi thinks differently. Having been in contact with them since childhood, Momoi knows that Chidori is not Shirazu's only way to score.

He also has a serve called "Rasengan" and a "Bakuryuha" that can crack all returns and double them.

These are very powerful and incomprehensible skills.

"Is it really like this?"

But Akashi's words startled everyone. Midorima frowned, and he immediately felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find it.

……………

"Swoosh!"

"Snap!"

"15-0!"

Catching the ball landing, Akashi declared unceremoniously.

"???"

"What happened?"

Aomine and Kagami were stunned. They stared at the tennis ball rolling on the center line and didn't understand what was going on for a while.

Why did the tennis ball suddenly appear in this position?

They didn't even see who was serving.

"30-0!"

"What's wrong?"

"40-0"

"What on earth is this?!"

"2-1!"

For the next three balls, they had no ability to resist at all. They could only stare and stand there watching the tennis ball suddenly appear and roll on the ground.

"What's going on? Why did the tennis ball appear like a ghost from their side of the court?"

"The tennis ball disappeared?"

"How could such a ridiculous thing happen?"

Kise, Murasakibara, Midorima, and Momoi all stared with wide eyes. As bystanders, they didn't even see the situation in the game clearly.

"Huh?"

"Where did Kuroko go?"

After a long time, Midorima suddenly came to his senses and shouted out of control.

"Right! That person disappeared?"

Kise finally remembered something when he heard Midorima's reminder.

This is obviously a doubles match! Kuroko's serve was undoubtedly the one that was served just now.

But Kuroko's figure was nowhere to be seen. They could only see the tennis ball rolling on the ground.

"Invisible?"

Momoi folded her arms and looked around, very surprised. It was the first time she met such a player.

"His presence is too strong."

"Not only Aomine and Kagami, but even you outside the court only paid attention to Shiratsu and his Chidori."

"Under such a strong attraction, of course you can't see where Tetsu is."

Akagi sat in the referee's seat and was not attracted by Shiratsu's "light".

(Tetsuya was actually on the court all the time.)

Unlike others, Akashi was not confused by appearances.

When everyone looked around, he could see that Kuroko had played an ordinary serve before.

Unfortunately, Aomine and Kagami had no reaction to this.

The same was true for Midorima, Murasakibara, Kise, and Momoi off the court.

(Light and Shadow)

(As expected, the stronger the light, the more it can conceal your existence, allowing you to fully exert the power of "shadow".)

Kuroko was "covered" by Shiratsu, which was the result of Kagami and Aomine not taking Kuroko seriously.

Their attention was all on Shiratsu, and Shiratsu was the most dazzling "boy" in the entire court because he continued to play "Chidori".

That abnormal presence maximized Kuroko's "sight guidance".

Only "Shiratsu" was left in their eyes, and Kuroko was active on the court as if he was invisible.

"Damn it! How could this happen?"

Kami and Aomine, who realized it late, only remembered the matter of Kuroko at this moment, and tried hard to capture the Kuroko on the opposite court with their naked eyes.

But no matter how they looked, they could only see Shiratsu.

For some reason, it seemed that their attention could not be diverted from Shiratsu.

"Haaa!"

Kagami was very angry as he hit the ball out in disbelief.

"Hey!"

Shiratsu took a step to the left, revealing the gap in the right court, and then swung the racket with both hands to hit Kagami's serve back.

Then he made a gesture as if he was going to hit "Chidori".

"What do you want to do?"

Although he didn't know why Shiratsu would make a gesture as if he was going to hit "Chidori" after hitting a normal return, Kagami would not show mercy, and swung his arm and hit the ball to an empty area.

But then, he saw a terrifying scene.

In the space without any area, the tennis ball was hit back as if it was touched by something.

"Swoosh!"

The tennis ball hit the handle of Aomine standing in front of the net at a strange speed and bounced back.

The ball bounced back after passing the net just within the range of Shirazu's swing.

"Chidori!"

"Squeak!!"

"Bang!!"

"3-1!"

This time, Aomine didn't have a chance to make up for the Chidori he hit, and could only watch the blue flash that had already landed and bounced up.

The serve was broken, and he and Kagami were stunned.

"Is that... a pass?"

Midorima looked at the situation in the court in surprise. Although it was strange to use the term "pass" in tennis, the phenomenon just now was indeed expressed in this way.

"That's also Tetsuya's technique."

"By observing Shirazu's pre-swing action, and then hitting the ball back to the opponent's handle to bounce it back into Shirazu's swing range."

"In a sense, it can also be called a "pass."

Akagi looked at what was happening on the court with interest and explained.

(Disrupt the opponent's return rhythm, and prepare the swing action in advance, omitting some of the return process.)

(Can they cooperate like this for the first time?)

Honestly speaking, the doubles cooperation between Shirazu and Kuroko exceeded Akashi's imagination.

Even though it was their first doubles match, they had such a high level of tacit understanding.

Bang! !

"4-1!"

"It's over."

Although the game has not reached the end of the match, in Akashi's opinion, Kagami and Aomine have no chance of winning.

When they first stepped into the trap of the combination of light and shadow, they were doomed to lose. Even if they got rid of the influence and found Kuroko later, they would fall into a new trap. Aomine and Kagami cannot break this cycle at present.

"15-0!"

"30-0!"

"40-0!"

"5-1!"

Outside the court, Midorima, Murasakibara, Kise, and Momoi were speechless.

It was a scene they had never expected that Aomine and Kagami, who they had been optimistic about, would be beaten so badly.

It looked like Shiratsu was fighting 1v2 alone, but Kuroko was the most crucial one.

He was hiding in the light called "Shiratsu" and moving in the shadows. It was impossible to catch his figure, which was too much of a disturbance for Aomine and Kagami.

Even Aomine, who had gradually awakened his wildness, could not track Kuroko's trace by intuition.

"Look, I see it!"

Swinging the racket to serve, Kagami was finally able to see Kuroko's figure this time.

The line of sight was guided to the limit!

"There is still a chance!"

After trying to get rid of the high attention on Shiratsu, they finally gradually found Kuroko's existence.

It is difficult for Kuroko to return his serve! They still have room to catch up!

"Is that really the case?"

In response, Akashi smiled inexplicably as he watched Aomine and Kagami struggling to death outside the court.

"Wait!! Kagami!"

"Squeaky!!!"

"15-0!"

But just as Kagami hit the ball in Kuroko's direction, the familiar sound came out, accompanied by lightning and bird calls passing by his feet.

"!?"

"Really? Fake?"

Kise stared blankly at the changing situation on the field, a little incoherent.

Because

This time it was Shiratsu's turn to disappear from everyone's sight.

"30-0!"

"Squeaky!!"

"40-0!"

"Squeaky!!"

"6-1!! Shiratsu and Tetsuya win!"

At the last moment, Aomine and Kagami were like statues, watching the loss of points.

They didn't understand until the end, why did they find Kuroko, but Shiratsu disappeared?

Even "Chidori" disappeared, and only the sound could be heard.
