If his first serve has garnered anyone's attention save his opponent's, Echizen isn't aware of it. All of his focus is on what's inside the singles court boundary. He tosses the ball and serves another twist.
It doesn't go nearly as well this time. With barely enough time for him to register what's happened, Marui has shifted and sent the ball flying past him in a return ace.
"15-All."
Rikkai earns their rep, it seems. After he recovers from the shock of how easily Marui returned that serve, Echizen feels a small thrill inside. This was definitely the right school to come to.
Outwardly unfazed, Echizen adjusts his cap and tries again, more watchful this time for the return serve.
It doesn't seem to help. The return leaves a small skid mark on the court and rattles the fence behind him.
"Akaya's knuckle serve is worse."
That excitement turns into a kernel of aggravation. Bastard...
