Chapter 6

Getting riled up by it as she doesn't like moving too much Aki decided to try volleying it but with the power difference and ball speed, she decided to back off to the baseline.

Using that chance Soji hits another cross-shot to his right with a narrower angle scoring him a point.

"40-love"

Hitting the serve wide, Aki has to move outside of the court to reach it giving him the chance to hit it at an open space, thus scoring a point.

"Game"

"In the second and third serve. It seems that Aki is starting to get used to it."He thought while they are having a break.

After switching sides, Aki began to serve.

Although Aki's serve is slower than his, Soji had a hard time returning it because of the spins and placements making him commit errors.

And even if he returns it, Aki just hits the ball to where he has a hard time getting it thus killing his power, because she keeps the ball to low for his liking.

Aki keeps on dong it while moving to the net and making the ball go where Soji can't reach thus making her keep her serving game.

"I should mind my shot placement and positioning a little better next time."

Since it is his turn to serve he again hits it wide making Aki move too much to her right side of the court, so she hits a cross-shot to where he is so she can buy more time.

Seeing Aki going to her left, Soji hits it down the line so she continues her movement.

With Aki hitting it down the line to his right, he again hits it down the line to Aki's previous position so coming back Aki places her shot near the net.

But because she hits a little too high it gives Soji enough time to react to shot a slightly narrow cross-shot bouncing off to the outside.

While Aki is hitting the ball back Soji moves up to volley and hits the ball to the open space earning him a point.

"15-love"

Soji hits his serve with a weaker bounce so Aki has to move up a bit to the net with Soji moving up with her for a successful serve and volley scoring him another point.

"30-love"

Hitting it a little bit inside Aki manages to return it perfectly so Soji tries to make her move around the court again.

But seeing her try to move as he is making his shot he decided to try another down the line shot while Aki is moving to her right but miss.

"30-15"

He again serves the ball wide, after Aki returns the ball he hits it down the line to Aki's right side 3 times then hits a cross-shot towards Aki's left but misjudged the force causing it to go out.

"30-30"

Serving the ball wide again, he tries to win it by hitting it down the line near Aki's left corner baseline but Aki managed to return to his left side so he aims at the serving box to his right for his next shot.

Since the ball bounce low, Aki is forced to the net returning a weak ball, seeing that he hits a powered flat shot to her left making him score.

"40-30"

Serving the ball inside Aki manage to return it to the center mark with Soji aiming towards Aki's right-side corner with her returning it with a lob.

Seeing that Aki is in the back Soji aims for the server box on Aki's right side with her running toward it and managing to return it.
