Beginner-Level Players Are Easy Pickings
Swish!
Bang!
The robust physique honed on the beaches of Chiba Prefecture gave Amene Hikaru, a first-year student, extraordinary strength.
Moreover, with the help of Old Man's specially made racket, this shot was several times more powerful than one hit from an ordinary racket.
However, it did not exceed the capture limit of the Fudomine duo's vision.
Kamio Akira's feet moved quickly forward; the landing point of the ball was very easy for him to calculate.
Tap tap tap!
With a sudden stride, the explosive speed caused Kamio Akira's figure to disappear instantly.
Then it suddenly appeared at the landing point of the tennis ball.
With a powerful stomp of his right foot, Kamio to a halt as he swung his arms out with tremendous force from his waist and abdomen.
Thump!
The tennis ball made a dull thud as it hit the racket.
Call out!
The sound of the tennis ball cutting through the air rang out, and Kamio the ball back into the no-man's-land to the left of Rokkaku.
"Let me do it, Tiangen!"
Kuroba Harukaze, who was already impatient, shouted and rushed forward.
Like Higa Junior High, Rokkaku's team uniform is not the usual short-sleeved one, but a vest with the cuffs removed.
This effect is also intended to highlight the robust physique of Chiba Rokkaku's men.
Every contestant from Rokkaku Middle School possesses a high strength attribute, and their arm muscles are exceptionally solid; Kuroba Harukaze is no exception.
Bang!
The muscular build gleamed with a bronze glow in the sunlight, and the incredible power unleashed during the movement caused the tennis ball to deform violently.
"You actually want to fight me by strength! Then I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing that his opponent's two consecutive attacks were both powerful counterattacks was a very rare occurrence for Ishida.
However, this was exactly what he wanted to do; the muscles in his arms were even more muscular than those of Kuroba Harukaze and Amene Hikaru from Rokkaku Middle School.
However, this made Kamio Akira stand out from the rest of them...
"Gale Fan!"
With a loud bang, Ishida unleashed a powerful smash, the intense Topspin whistling as it hurtled towards Rokkaku Middle School's court.
"Explosive Strike!"
Rokkaku Middle School, of course, knew about Fudomine beforehand, and they also knew that Ishida was a power forward.
This was exactly what they wanted to see. Kuroba Harukaze laughed as he caught up with the tennis ball, his arm muscles bulging as he forcefully pulled it back.
"Wow, that's intense! Is this what a power-based battle in the Kanto region looks like?!"
Many viewers from other places were seeing this for the first time and were quite shocked. After all, they were all junior high school students, so why were these people so different?
Everyone present knew about the game; just by listening, they could tell from the sound of the ball hitting the shuttlecock that the force of the shot was extraordinary.
For many ordinary people, throwing a few powerful punches at once or twice might not be a problem.
But these players kept hitting it during the match, and they just couldn't do it anymore.
Is this the level of the top four teams and the strongest teams in Kanto?
Inoue Mamoru picked up his camera and took a few photos. Hearing the surrounding chatter, he shook his head.
Rokkaku Middle School High School is certainly not bad, after all, they are the number one seed in the prefectural tournament, but they have no chance of winning against Fudomine now.
Although the game seems evenly matched right now, Fudomine is basically relying on Ishida Tetsu to receive the ball, meaning he's single-handedly holding off both opponents.
However, this back-and-forth seemed to have annoyed Ishida Tetsu.
The moment Amene Hikaru returned the ball, Ishida Tetsu's body slammed into the tennis ball like a ferocious beast, his center of gravity lowered and his arm suddenly bulged high!
The instant the tennis ball bounced back, Ishida Tetsu slammed his racket down onto the ball!
First Style Wave Shot!
Bang!
With Ishida Tetsu's swing, a terrifying roar erupted instantly. A ring of white air burst forth from the surface of the tennis ball, instantly creating a fierce gust of wind in mid-air!
Boom!
The tennis ball, carrying terrifying power, struck the court behind Kuroba Harukaze in an instant.
The tennis ball slammed heavily onto the court, deforming violently under the force, before crashing into the net behind it with a screeching sound.
"Fudomine scores, 15-0."
The referee blew his whistle and announced the score.
"This guy's strength more than doubled instantly!"
Kuroba Harukaze turned her neck somewhat stiffly.
Even when Ishida Tetsu tried to return the Wave Shot, he couldn't completely keep up with its trajectory.
"So this is what it feels like to directly withstand Wave Shot..."
"Although this power is not as strong as that of Ishida Gin from Shitenhoji, its threat level is even more terrifying than what the recording brought!"
Kuroba Harukaze felt her mouth was a little dry.
"It's alright, Senior Kuroba. He can't land many attacks like that, and I refuse to believe I can't retaliate at all! I'll give it a try!"
Amene Hikaru had no concept of fear; on the contrary, his fighting spirit only intensified.
When the tennis ball came to Ishida Tetsu, the muscles in his right hand bulged, and he slammed his racket down on the ball!
As the tennis ball rubbed against the air, a terrifying roar once again echoed throughout the entire court!
Boom!
The Wave Shot, like a missile, exploded directly between Amene Hikaru and Kuroba Harukaze!
Snap Whoosh
"Fudomine scores, 40:30."
Under Ishida Gin's relentless and terrifying onslaught of Wave Shot, Ishida Tetsu single-handedly won the last point of the first game's Rokkaku service game!
It's about to break the ace.
"According to the previous recording!"
"Isn't there a limit to the number of times this guy can use the Wave Shot?"
Amene Hikaru looked at Ishida Tetsu in the arena and said with a solemn expression, "He's actually using so many Wave Shot in one go."
"Doesn't he plan to save some attempts for later matches?"
Ishida Tetsu's unusual behavior caught Amane's attention.
During the pre-match preparation, Rokkaku had already thoroughly studied all the players from Fudomine.
Their videos were watched over and over again.
That's how competitions are; the stronger a team is, the more teams will study it, and at that point, even the smallest flaw will be magnified to the extreme.
Only by constantly surpassing your previous self can you avoid being targeted.
This is why winning consecutive championships in sports is so difficult; usually, three consecutive championships is a huge hurdle, and nine consecutive world championships like in the world of Prince of Tennis are truly outrageous.
This is why when other people talk about the kings of Kanto, Rikkai Dai is the first one that comes to mind.
Because he achieved a fourteen-consecutive-championship streak.
The game on the field continued, much to the bewilderment of the two players from Rokkaku Middle School.
The other figures in the stands noticed something amiss.
"Ah Yin, Ah Tie is almost catching up to you, his older brother!"
Shiraishi smiled and looked at the big guy beside him. At this moment, Ishida Gin also squinted his eyes, his gaze fixed on his younger brother.
"A-Tie has indeed improved. He can now hit these basic, Wave Shot without causing too much damage to his wrist."
"It must have been Saeki who taught him the power generation techniques. Going to Tokyo was definitely the right decision!"
"As for surpassing me, that's probably a bit difficult. He can only hit the first twenty Wave Shot at most right now, while I've already developed 108."
"Hey Gintoki, is it really necessary? You've developed so many variations on just one Hadouken Wave Shot..."
Just as Ishida Gin was about to tell Shiraishi about the difference, Ishida Tetsu shouted from the sidelines.
"Hmph, you could counter the first move Wave Shot, then the third move will do!"
Boom!
A more powerful Wave Shot shattered the defense of both Kuroba Harukaze, securing a decisive victory in the first game.
"Game! Fudomine Ishida Tetsu and Kamio Akira, score 1-0."
