Defeat Hyotei Academy, Advance to the Finals
"He can actually learn my Wave Shot on the spot!"
During the break, Ishida heard Muneyoshi's explanation, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He learned this move by pestering his older brother, and it was under the dual guidance of Tachibana Kippei and Muneyoshi.
Now that his strength has increased and he has mastered the techniques for explosive power, he is able to unleash such power several times in a single match.
Unexpectedly, this big guy on the other side learned it after only seeing him demonstrate it twice.
The match then continued.
Bang!
Watching Kabaji unleash another Wave Shot on the opposite side, and feeling the terrifying shockwave of the tennis ball bouncing back to his side, a flame rose in Ishida Tetsu's eyes.
Kabaji's counterattack, however, ignited his fighting spirit in his peaceful state of mind.
"Wave Shot, Second Form!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
Ishida Tetsu temporarily forgot Hanamura Aoi's instructions and went to meet Kabaji's Wave Shot.
His arm seemed to swell up again, and immense power gathered once more, which he then used to smash the tennis ball with his racket.
Bang!
The tennis ball, accompanied by a shockwave, emitted a breathtaking white-purple ripple.
"This is even stronger than the Wave Shot from before."
On the sidelines, among the Seigaku spectators, Kan paused for a moment, while beside him, Kawamura Takashi's eyes were also fixed on Ishida Tetsu's movements.
As a fellow power-type fighter, he could clearly feel that Ishida Tetsu's strength had increased.
"Wave Shot..."
As if he had found his direction, Kawamura Takashi meticulously memorized all the preliminary steps of a technique for the first time.
"Heh, Ishida, let them see the results of your training."
Hanamura Aoi rested her chin on one hand, a relaxed smile on her face.
If it's a contest of strength, Ishida Tetsu's strength is no less than anyone else's, especially with the help of the Wave Shot.
Most of the others in Fudomine shared the same idea as her.
Although Hyotei Academy's Kabaji had just mimicked the Wave Shot, which surprised them, they didn't think he could last long, given his knowledge of the Wave Shot's wrist-damaging effects.
However, they clearly underestimated Kabaji Munehiro.
Facing Ishida Tetsu's even more powerful Wave Shot, Kabaji did not dodge and remained in a daze.
However, his eyes were constantly replaying all of Ishida Tetsu's movements.
With a mind as clear and pure as a child's, he quickly and clearly analyzed Ishida Tetsu's actions.
Although it is called the second form of the Wave Shot, the technique and the essence of power generation have not changed.
Bang!
Seeing this, Kabaji faced the incoming ball, swung his racket powerfully with both hands, and almost exactly, the tennis ball bounced back with an astonishing white-purple wave.
"It really is imitating my Wave Shot!"
Ishida Tetsu felt a surge of pride and shouted, "Since that's the case, let's see how many more goals you can last!"
Ha!!!
Ishida Tetsu neither dodged nor evaded, raising his right arm high and abandoning the use of the two-handed Wave Shot to protect his wrists, instead using the more powerful one-handed Wave Shot.
Facing Kabaji's return ball, Ishida Tetsu showed no hesitation. His right arm muscles bulged to their limit as he roared, "Wave Shot, Fifth Form!"
Bang! Boom!
A loud bang as the racket struck the tennis ball echoed throughout the court.
Ishida Tetsu unleashed his full power, bypassing the third and fourth moves in one go, and increasing the power of the Wave Shot by several points.
As he swung his racket, the originally white-purple pillar of light suddenly expanded, forming a fiery red halo around it, with flashes of electricity occasionally appearing.
At that moment, to the onlookers, the power of tennis seemed almost frightening.
Bang!
Bang!
After three consecutive Wave Shot of powerful energy blasts, Ishida Tetsu felt his wrists starting to give way.
Before the competition, Hanamura Aoi had set a maximum limit for him, but he had unknowingly broken that limit.
On the other hand, Kabaji Munehiro seemed tireless, as if he were unaffected by such a powerful attack.
However, compared to the composure of the Hyotei Academy and Fudomine teams, the spectators and players from other schools were getting restless.
This powerful and terrifying exchange of blows sent chills down the spines of many who watched.
If such a force were to strike them, could they withstand it?
Many people were terrified by this and there was much discussion about it.
Meanwhile, in the rest area of Fudomine, Muneyoshi frowned slightly, squinting at Kabaji's arm.
"He's still holding on? Hasn't he reached Kabaji's limit yet...?"
He was mentally prepared for this situation from the moment he learned that the opposing singles number two was Kabaji Munehiro.
However, considering the training Ishida Tetsu underwent, along with the techniques he taught him regarding explosive power, the current Ishida Tetsu is much stronger than he was in the original work.
Although his potential is still not very high, he can handle most people without any problems.
Even so, Muneyoshi still didn't expect Kabaji to be able to hold out for so long.
No wonder it's one of the biggest problems in junior high school.
Ishida Tetsu is already barely holding on. For the sake of the upcoming matches and the future of his wrist, he can't continue playing like this.
Seeing that Ishida Tetsu was looking at him, Muneyoshi did not hesitate and made a gesture.
If you can't win by brute force, then you have to outsmart them.
Instead of directly confronting the Wave Shot that Kabaji was launching, he made full use of his other skills.
However, Ishida Tetsu did not think so.
He knew, of course, that Muneyoshi's opinion was correct, and that it was also for the sake of his own wrist and tennis career, so he wanted to abide by it.
But he absolutely had to take that last shot!
The Wave Shot was created by his brother, and even Silver couldn't use it indefinitely, let alone an imitator.
Moreover, as the true inheritor of the Wave Shot, he would retreat immediately if faced with such an imitator.
He was unwilling to accept it!
"Minister!!!"
Ishida Tetsu roared, and his aura surged once again.
Bang!
"Wave Shot, Seventh Form!"
Facing the incoming ball, Ishida Tetsu let out a roar, his arm trembled slightly, and a sharp pain instantly spread through him.
Even with the power techniques taught by Muneyoshi, he had reached his limit by continuously unleashing Wave Shot.
However, he endured the excruciating pain and returned the ball.
"Muneyoshi, Ishida has reached his limit."
Ishida Tetsu's reaction, of course, did not escape the notice of Muneyoshi and Tachibana Kippei, who were familiar with the Wave Shot.
Tachibana Kippei had studied the Wave Shot carefully during training and was able to hit it, so his understanding was deeper.
"Tachibana, I know, let's just forfeit this game... We can't let Ishida's tennis career be ruined here!"
Muneyoshi sensed Ishida's will and understood why he went against his own wishes and forced Ishida to hit the Wave Shot again.
But as a minister, he couldn't just watch his players get ruined in a single match.
While pondering, Muneyoshi walked towards Hanamura Aoi...
However, this was the halfway point for the Hyotei Academy.
Kabaji Munehiro remained silent.
Bang!
Kabaji's arm was bulging with veins, and a look of pain appeared on his face. His arm was trembling violently as he tried to retaliate against Ishida's attack.
But the next moment...
Clatter
His return attempt failed, the racket hit the ground, and his arm could no longer support the weight.
"The Kabaji can't take it anymore..."
Seeing this, Muneyoshi, who was about to discuss abstaining from the game with Hanamura Aoi, had a glint in his eyes.
"Game 1, Fudomine Ishida Tetsu scores, score 4-3."
"Kabaji!"
Kabaji's situation caused the Hyotei Academy members' expressions to change drastically, Atobe's eyes also showed a trace of worry and lingering fear.
He hadn't expected his opponent's moves to accumulate in this way.
This kind of situation is extremely damaging to the wrist.
"Coach, let's forfeit."
It seemed that the fighting in Kabaji could not continue, Atobe quickly looked at Sakaki Tarou.
Coach Sakaki glanced sideways at Hanamura Aoi on the next coaching bench and nodded slightly.
"Referee, we forfeit this round!"
"In the second singles match, Fudomine won due to the Hyotei Academy's forfeit."
"In the Semifinals of the Metropolitan Tournament, Fudomine faced Hyotei Academy, and Fudomine ultimately won, with a score of 3-1."
