'Eh, I didn't know Syu-kun can also use this technique, looks like I need to be a little serious now' said Rumika mentally

"30-15," said the referee

"I didn't expect Fuji will reveal one of his Triple Counters, in this match, that means Rumika is a great challenge for Fuji" said Oishi

'Hmm.. Triple Counters, eh.. I can't wait to return them all but first I need to make Syu-kun to reveal all of them' said Rumika mentally

"Tsubame Gaeshi" said Fuji

Fuji utilizes his opponent's top spin by returning the ball with an extreme slice that doubles the amount of spin. The slice combines with the top spin and causes the ball to dip toward the ground and continue rolling across the court without a bounce.

'Another familiar technique, looks like I need to break those returns later. Hmm, that's two of The Triple Counters, only one left.' said Rumika mentally

'I already know how to return that shot' said Rumika mentally
