EVOLUTION

I hit it as it slightly curves to the right hand side, he hits it back to me and I was already prepared for my counter, and I'm gonna improve the speed cause 'Velocity=intensity', I guess?.

The ball came as I moved back slightly like I was doing back step on my toes which made movement easier and i play it high, it was like a lob but it wasn't and the guy returns it back to me. I locked my eyes with his as I smashed facing his face.

"Kaneki missed the ball!!"

Misdirection, something that has been on my mind but it's not something that can be used all the time cause if it's used more than two times in a roll the other party could get used to it and even see through it and it becomes completely useless.

I pretended to be about to smash it straight at him but instead it was just an act as I sent it to the right with a curve. But it came with a little setback, since I didn't properly get a clean view about where I was aiming at, it went out of bounds, but still it is enough.

The match continues, the ball came to my side but I hit it to the left, he counters it and I also counter it, during all this time I am looking for a chance to use misdirection but I want him to get caught up deeply in the flow that he will forget about such a thing. But here, something unexpected happens. I counter the ball back to him but for the first time since the match started he held the racket with both of his hands, he jumped up slightly while rotating like a whirlpool for almost a second while high and released him self as he hits the ball. I moved towards the ball but I couldn't get it as it hit the tip of my racket and bounced away.

"Everything is starting to turn Luke warm so I'm gonna handle it now, since I'm bored".

After I tried calming myself, it was my service. I jumped back a-little as if about fall on back on the floor and when almost in the middle of it I threw the ball upward as I smashed it with my racket upward into the sky. it was a Shot Volley, Only this time it went really high up that you won't be able to see it even if you did look up but even if you do, by the time you see it, it would have already been too close. I stood my ground after that service and all that was left to do is to wait for it to land cause I am very confident it will land on his court.

There it is, it's already falling down, all that's left to do is wait and see where it lands, It should be impossible to get i—

"H-HOW?!!"

I exclaimed out as what I saw just now was insane, he actually caught it...but it wasn't like that, in the first place he wasn't even looking at the ball. it was like he was concentrating on something. And he just moved his hands towards that direction where the ball landed after it had bounced and hits it towards my court.

No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No way No!!!...

No no no no no no no, FUCK NO!!...it could have been just Been a stroke of luck on his part, right?. But is that kind of luck real, God it's giving me doubts ARGH!!.

"Like I said before, everything is begining to look Lukewarm, by now you should understand your place shouldn't you?...don't waste any more of my time and just quit here".

He's right, before someone Is able to know where something like that was, it's insane...it was like he could sense it and his speed was also insane, was it just reflexes?, is he just like me and Hayami, ARGH!!, I have so many questions popping up, just who is this guy, to be able to produce so much skill with no drive at all.

It's like he's telling hard workers that they are just wasting their time and efforts cause only natural talent overcomes all. No!!...I won't quit I've already resolved my self and have come this far, I won't walk away with my tail in-between my leg, just because I have notice our difference in capabilities.

He's a human just like me, if he is able to achieve this then I will be able to as well, They say everyone has their own specific time when their talent blossom but screw that I don't have that time to wait for mine. I must defeat him before the game sets, NO!!, I will defeat him and prove myself to Hayami-Senpai who believes in me.

Think Think Think Think Think THINK!!!, what can you do against him, his defense sure Is as solid as a rock, So what can a person like me do to break a rock THINK!! AKASUKI!!.

Misdirection? it is a solid one but it's not something that can be used all the time but at-least 2 to 3 times in a match at maximum, but that is only on someone who can be easily distracted or works only on reflexes, will it work on him?, I don't know he seems like the kind of person who thinks and acts at the same time. I don't need any half ass answer before I resume I do not need some thing with seems, I want some with at-least a 90% chance of success against him at least.

Wait I've been looking at this from my perspective lets try Changing perspective with someone who should be able to go head to head against him and what that person will do HAYAMI-SENPAI!!. Yes from what I could notice in their conversation they had respect for each other so I should assume either Hayami Is ahead or are competing on equal footing with each other. Alright so Hayami, if I was her what will I do?. Wait, ARGH!!...I haven't even seen Senpai play tennis before. The one against Sasuke was ping pong and there was nothing special there she was just playing fast.

Ok so Speed right sounds promising but I still don't feel it well, I need something with a stronger counter to him, something that will assure my victory.

A way against him, a way to control his movement, see his movement predict his movemen—Wait... THAT'S IT!!, if I can predict his movement and also misdirecting him with Speed which will make it harder for him to concentrate and he will also lose his footing. Yes, this should be enough having three moves against him, One move has two back up stored, now let's see... Speed?, my Speed is on par with his I think, Misdirecting him is easy since I've done it before. But the problem is Prediction. but how will I be able to predict his movement?, 'FORESIGHT!!!' Ah...but how did that girl explain it agaaaiiiiin ummmm...ahhh. I think she called it the ability to predict what an individual will do by studying their movement and action.

Alright looking at this guy I've been playing with him from sometime now, he is the type that doesn't force himself on offence but just defence except that time he held his racket with both of his hand, but that was only possible due to reduction in the speed of the ball. Hmm...I see, this should work on him.

"What's with that smirk on your face, you've been muttering to your self for sometime now"

"Sorry if I took your time, but my answer is no I won't admit defeat when it hasn't been decided yet, so let's have some fun now huh"

"Hmph, how Lukewarm"

Keeping up a poker face, I look at him with eyes filled with determination, I don't know if my poker face is good or bad, but right now I feel like I'm in a situation between life and death but I still face forward not slowing down.

Growth is a natural factor of every human being no all living things experience growth so it's needed as one advances in life, but I'm not a normal human I'm a Deviant which means my growth should exceed that of every ordinary human.

I don't want to be in the same category as that of a normal Deviant either. I'm going to control my growth and create a path meant for me and a future that I desire, normally my motto is that 'future matters takes care of it self in the future', but no i will create a future I want and seize it, I do not know if I will now be able to go against that Untouchable but I think I am nearing, so in order to verify that I am really growing I have to break this tall wall in between me and my next level and that wall is non other than Kaneki Senpai.

We walked away from where we were close to the net and walked back to our positions after our little conversation just now. Now what to do?, I'm not sure if I will be able to think of the next move while playing cause I am going to be predicting for the first time in my life so its now or never.

His strong point in his play in his defence, which is him always cathing the ball and returning it successfully, but in order to break that barrier I will need to think of some way to turn the game on him, by taking away that defence of his but how?. THINK AKASUKI THINK!!, you only have one head just as everyone who is a winner, so come up with something.

If only I were able to turn him from a defensive player to an offensive player, it should work but how to turn him from the defence to the offence? I will have to pressure him the same way he did to me and the only way is to.....
