Sanada walked into the tournament ground and glanced around. Quite a number of players and supporters were already there, and he could recognize quite a number of familiar faces. There was the ever-egoistic Atobe, and of course, Kabaji. Kikumaru Eiji from Seigaku was also there, and next to him stood Tezuka. Sanada arched an eyebrow. So both of his greatest rivals were here. Tezuka, watch out. If I ever do play against you, i will crush you. Atobe.. hmph. you can't even do anything when faced with my Zan(mountain). Seishun Gakuen's Kunimitsu Tezuka and Hyotei Gakuen's Keigo Atobe, one of us will emerge as the champion to our three-way rivalry.He strided towards the registering booth. "Sanada Genichirou. Rikkai Dai Fuzoku" The man at the booth pointed to the registering board. "You're number 4," he said. Sanada stared at the green board, and his pair of sharp eyes quickly spotted his slot.. 2nd Match::(no3&4)Tezuka (Seishun Gakuen) vs. Sanada Genichirou (Rikkai Daigaku Fuzoku) So it begins, eh? Tezuka, with this match, we shall decide who's the stronger of us two. Come with me with all you've got. This will be an interesting match.

So it begins...Tezuka takes off his jacket and walks to court. Picking up his mizuno pro light he gives a glance at Sanada who is stretching.
3 years worth of work seperate us from that last match doesn't it... And just like back then I will defeat you...
Striding over to the net he calls to sanada: "Rough or smooth?"
And so the match will begin...

Sanada strided towards Court A, narrowing his eyes at Tezuka. His rival was already in the court, stretching and doing some warm-ups. It has been three years since we last played against each other. In these three years, I have greatly improved my tennis techniques. Why, you may even be surprised that my FuuRinKaZan has evolved. You may also have improved, but this time, i WILL defeat you. Three years ago, you utterly defeated me. Since that day, I have longed to play against you again, to see the bitter taste of defeat evident in your eyes.Sanada put his tennis bag on a wooden bench, and took out his Babolat (VS Drive) racket. His unzipped his RikkaiDai jacket and began stretching. It was a cold day, he needed to warm up his muscles if he were to play a good match with all he has got. As crisp, cool air blew against his face, even the usually stern and serious Sanada let his lips form a slight smile. He had been waiting for this day for 3 years, and it's finally here.
Sanada looked up, to find Tezuka standing on the other side of the net. "Smooth," he replied. Tezuka's racket spun a few times, and landed with an inverted "T". So it isn't my service game, it's Tezuka's. Sanada turned around and walked to the base line and got into the receiving position. After three years, the match begins.
OOC: Can we have it that this match is happening before the Nationals? Since I assumed that Tezuka hasn't seen Sanada's FuuRinKaInZanRai.

Tezuka dribbled the ball a few times before catching it."3 years of hard work isn't going to waste... I will win!!!"
And he tosses the ball and in the blink of an eye he delivers his topspin, no-touch service ace. He aims the shot in sanda's backhand zone.
"Will you be able to get that sanda?"
admin said:
15-0 the referee announced."Is that all you've got? If that is so, I may have overestimated you. It seems like you have not improved much over these three years" Sanada stared at Tezuka, straight in the eye. He turned, and with his back facing Tezuka, said in a determined tone, "I will defeat you". Sanada walked back to the base line and got ready to receive.
It seems that I don't have to go easy on Tezuka. Since he started the match at full power, I shall not hold back either.
Sanada narrowed his eyes, focusing on Tezuka as he watched him serve.
shiraishi said:
This was not going to be an ordinary point... Tezuka knew from the look on Sanada's face."Very well I guess Tezuka zone will have to wait he'll have to deal with the drop shot first."
Tezuka places a no touch service ace in the right corner.
admin said:
30-love, The referee announced. Tezuka's serve has greatly improved since the last time we met. Both the power and accuracy are far beyond any of the rivals I've met. Sanada adjusted his cap as he heard fangirls and Eiji cheering Tezuka on in the spectator stands. He held his racket with both hands, crouched down and focused on the ball once again. If Tezuka thinks that he can take his service game with only aces, he's dead wrong.
I will break him in this set.
shiraishi said:
non rpg: Sorry about the long awaited reply. ;DHmm he looks more determined with every point will I be able to just cruise through?
Tezuka looked hard on Sanada's face before deciding his next strategy... This wasn't going to be any regular game...
Tezuka puts up a no touch service ace and immediately activates his tezuka zone.
Non rpg: oh and I think I might be using muga no kyochi in this match.

An ace, it was not. Sanada did a swift pull-back, anticipating the neon-yellow ball. He sent it straight towards the right corner, which if not for the Tezuka zone, would have been a return ace. Sanada watched as the ball's path curved towards Tezuka, almost as if the spin he placed on it had been nullified. Tch, the Tezuka Zone. He used it so early in the showdown - why, the match had just begun. Had he some ulterior motive? Show me all you've got, if you do so otherwise, you may regret. I've found a way to counter Tezuka zone. However unlike Tezuka, Sanada refused to show his deck in the earlier points of the match. No, he would save it for later.
"Game won by Tezuka, 1-0," the referee announced.

I see what your doing sanada...Tezuka now awaited the serve that was to come.
Maybe you don't want to show your true colors but that doesn't mean you'll hold back... Are you going to use it? The invisible serve?
As the ball was thrown in the air tezuka soon had his answer.
admin said:
OOC: Can we follow the manga chain of events for this match, which would mean that Sanada has the FuuRinKaInZanRai instead of the invisible serve.Sanada bounced the tennis ball, as he got into his serving position. He thrust the ball into the air, and with a powerful swing from his dominant hand, sent the ball curving towards the left, an angle where he knew it would be hard for Tezuka to return. After displaying such skill, both in terms of speed and accuracy, Sanada did not hesitate to get ready to return.
He was dealing with the Tezuka Zone, after all. The Tezuka Zone that he would eventually break. The great Sanada Genichirou had found a way to nullify the spin on the ball caused by Tezuka Zone.
shiraishi said:
OOC: Well there's no harm in doing both right? I mean we've seen them done separately so it'll be more interesting if it's done in one match. Tezuka returned the serve and immediately the ball's spin was increased.
I'll have to hold Tezuka Zone for this game if I'm to win.
OOC: Okay, so that means that Sanada will also have the advantage of the invisible swing/serve then. ^_^
Sanada looked at the swirling vortex engulfing Tezuka. No doubt, Tezuka was determined to break his service game using Tezuka Zone. Though Sanada had wanted to hold back, he knew it was impossible to keep his service game unless he unleashed FuuRinKaInZanRai upon Tezuka. As he saw Tezuka return his shot effortlessly, he pulled back his racket and got into a stance - the stance in which he was going to perform his 'invisible swing'.
The point is, if I use my 'invisible swing', even if the spin of Tezuka Zone is not nullified, he would not react in time to return the shot. Even if the ball undoubtedly curves towards him, would he be able to see the ball in time? If he could not see me swing my racket, what are the chances that he'll actually grasp the perfect timing as to when to hit the ball?
