Absolute Domination, A Shadow in the Dark

That's it!

"Kamio, show them your strongest speed!" In the Fudomine contestant tunnel, Makihara Shuichi stared intently at Kamio Akira in the arena.

Among all the players at Fudomine.

Among their classmates, Kamio Akira and Makihara Shuichi had arguably the best relationship besides Ibu Shinji!

Besides Tachibana Kippei guiding his training, his most frequent practice partner was Makihara Shuichi.

Moreover, he had witnessed Oshitari Kenya's speed during the previous training camp.

The speed contest between Kamio Akira and Oshitari Kenya never stopped from that moment on.

"Oshitari Kenya, you won't score!"

Just as the tennis ball was about to fly out of bounds, Kamio Akira made a diving tackle and intercepted it.

With a crisp snap and the sound of him crashing to the ground, the tennis ball bounced back.

"Well done, Kamio!"

Upon seeing Kamio Akira save the ball, Sakurai Masaya and the others cheered excitedly for Kamio Akira.

However, before Sakurai and the others could even finish cheering!

"Ah Tie, let me see how far your Wave Shot has progressed! Wave Shot, Tenth Form!"

A loud bang, accompanied by Ishida Gin's furious roar, resounded throughout!

The tennis ball exploded and bounced in Fudomine's half of the court, its extremely powerful force slamming heavily onto Ishida Tetsu's racket. With the added force, it broke free from the Ishida Tetsu's restraints.

The tennis ball bounced out of bounds.

"Shitenhoji Ishida Gin and Oshitari Kenya score, making the score 15-0."

"It's here! Ishida Gin's original Wave Shot!"

Staring at the white ball mark that stretched across almost the entire half of Fudomine's court, the faces of all the spectators watching from the sidelines were filled with utter shock.

"Elder brother!"

Ishida Tetsu, gripping his racket tightly, stared intently at Ishida Gin across from him. His voice was low and menacing. "Since you want to see what I'm capable of, then I'll make my move!"

"Come on, Atie, if you can break through my defenses, you'll have graduated!"

As the match unfolded, Kamio Akira and Oshitari Kenya engaged in a duel at the net, while the Ishida brothers in the backcourt battled for strength.

Bang!

Suddenly, just as the tennis ball flew over the net, Oshitari Kenya appeared at the net again and delivered another powerful smash to end the score.

"Shitenhoji Ishida Gin and Oshitari Kenya scored, making the score 40-30."

The score in the first game was so close that it made everyone on the sidelines realize just how similar the doubles pair of Shitenhoji and Fudomine were.

They are almost complete mirror images, both combining power and speed.

Ishida Tetsu possesses strength, but Ishida Gin is even stronger, and Oshitari Kenya Kamio Akira's super speed is no less impressive than Oshitari Kenya's.

Therefore, only after stepping onto the field and truly putting on a show of strength in an official match can one truly succeed.

Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu finally understood just how powerful Shitenhoji truly was.

"Kamio!"

"This is only the first game; the match has only just begun!"

Sensing that Kamio Akira's mind was somewhat disturbed, Ishida Tetsu's voice immediately rang in Kamio Akira's ears from the backstage.

"Um!"

"I understand, Atie! I'm just about to pick up the pace!"

Upon hearing Ishida Tetsu's words, Kamio Akira smiled brightly, then bowed again, assuming a ready-to-attack stance.

"Okay, let's continue!"

The tacit understanding developed through continuous matches means that although the two can no longer communicate perfectly, they can at least quickly understand each other's thoughts. Ishida Tetsu knows that it's time to get serious.

"Um?"

"Gin, it seems my attack hasn't broken Fudomine's momentum yet!" Oshitari Kenya's gaze swept over Ishida Tetsu and the other man.

With his keen reflexes, he immediately noticed the change in the two men.

"It seems that Kamio and Atetsu are also preparing to unleash their true power. In that case!"

"Then let me show you what true despair is! Gin, your Wave Shot is something Tetsuya can't compare to!" Oshitari Kenya's eyes shone with a peculiar light.

The game continues.

Bang!

After readjusting his rhythm, Oshitari Kenya once again tossed the tennis ball into the air, maintaining his stance and delivering a high-speed serve.

At that moment, on the opposite side of the court, Kamio Akira, who was positioned to receive the ball, leaned forward two steps and easily caught it.

Then, Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu began to switch positions with perfect understanding.

"They've even managed to set up a doubles formation; it seems they're improving quite quickly!"

Seeing the actions of the Fudomine duo, Oshitari Kenya immediately followed suit, rushing towards the front and completely ignoring Kamio Akira's counterattack.

The actions on both sides now seemed to be a true mirror image.

"What?"

When he saw that Oshitari Kenya had simply let the ball go, Kamio Akira couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

It can be said that Oshitari Kenya had completely anticipated the reactions of Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu.

"Hey, Fudomine!"

"Take a good look at Gintoki's true terror!" As Kamio Akira continued to ponder, Oshitari Kenya 'Kamio Akira voice rang in his ears.

"That is..."

Kamio Akira's gaze swept over them.

A muscular figure blocked the tennis ball.

"Excuse me, Atie, let me test you. If you're still like before, you won't pass my test!"

He took two steps forward; Ishida Gin's clumsy body moved slowly, but it was enough to deal with such an attack.

As the tennis ball flew towards him, Ishida Gin uttered a Buddhist chant.

Raise your right arm and swing it!

The muscles on Ishida Gin's arms were layered and twisted, bulging and grotesque like those of a demon.

"Thirtieth Style: Wave Shot!"

Boom!

As Ishida Gin swung his racket, the tennis ball tore through the air, creating a huge white shockwave that resembled a missile flashing with golden lightning, hurtling towards Fudomine's half of the court!

"This is an even more terrifying power -Wave Shot than Atie..."

Upon seeing Ishida Gin's Wave Shot, Kamio Akira's face showed a look of shock.

Even someone who frequently witnessed Ishida Tetsu's Wave Shot had never experienced such terror.

This Wave Shot of power!

Can Ishida Tetsu catch it?

At this moment, Kamio Akira's will seemed to waver somewhat.

"Kamio, get out of the way! I'll take this ball!"

Ishida Tetsu roared and chased after the tennis ball as it landed!

As he spoke, Ishida Tetsu stepped forward with his left foot, while the muscles in his right hand swelled and squeezed, becoming so taut they were almost twisted into a single strand.

As he watched the ball approach, he unleashed all his power, swinging his racket swiftly behind him. The collision of the tennis ball and the racket produced a dull thud.

"Wave Shot - Burst Shatter!"

However!

The instant the racket and tennis ball collide!

The terrifying power of the Wave Shot that Ishida Gin hit tore through Ishida Tetsu's racket and then slammed into the wall of the stands behind Fudomine!

Smoke and fire everywhere!

As the smoke cleared, the tennis ball was deeply embedded in the iron net, and several small stones emerged from the cracks in the ground.

"Game, Shitenhoji scores, score 1:0."

As soon as the referee blew his whistle, the spectators outside the stadium erupted in a huge cheer; they were completely stunned by what they had just witnessed.

Meanwhile, several black-clad figures mingled among the audience were constantly recording various data.

"Ishida Gin's Wave Shot is way more powerful than Ishida Tetsu's?"

"Besides Saeki Muneyoshi, there's actually a junior high school student who can crack the ground with a tennis ball?!"

"It seems that this fighter from Shitenhoji is quite talented in the pure strength path!"

They were all wearing the same uniform, as if they came from the same organization.

And it wasn't just them; several other figures wearing black hoods, with glimpses of blond hair that contrasted sharply with the Japan, were also constantly recording various data.

Just as Mifune Nyudo said, starting from the National Tournament, many tentacles from all over the world have already reached out to Japan.

"What terrifying power!"

"It seems there's still a significant gap between Ishida Tetsu and Ishida Gin. Even when Ishida Tetsu Wave Shot his full power with the Hadouken, it still doesn't reach the level of the Thirty Style..."

Looking at the somewhat messy stadium, Saeki Muneyoshi couldn't help but shake his head.

This match was completely dominated by Watanabe Osamu. Now, both Oshitari Kenya and Ishida Gin are completely superior to Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu in every aspect.

This absolute difference in strength and speed means that, without other means to compensate, the opponent's attacks would be completely unbearable.

"Wave Shot Technique 45!"

Boom!

"Game, the Shitenhoji Oshitari Kenya and Ishida Gin pairing win, score 6-1."

"Ah Tie, well done! I hope your Wave Shot will be even better this time next year!"

"Of course, brother!"

At the net, the Ishida brothers shook hands again, and Ishida Gin encouraged his younger brother.

Compared to the brotherly affection between the two men, the relationship between Kamio Akira and Oshitari Kenya was more intense.

"Hey, Kamio, I won again this time!"

"Hmph, don't be so smug. I'll definitely win next time, and today we Fudomine, will win too!"

The two parted on bad terms, and Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu silently walked off the court.

"Ah Tie, next time my speed will definitely not lose to Oshitari Kenya. You also need to keep working hard; the Wave Shot is your specialty!"

"Don't worry, Kamio, I won't give up either. After all, the Wave Shot is a technique that my brother created. Just because I can't beat him now doesn't mean I can't in the future!"

Upon hearing Kamio Akira's words, Ishida Tetsu nodded, his face showing no disappointment but rather a strong fighting spirit.

After all, in Ishida Tetsu's eyes...

Besides Saeki Muneyoshi and Tachibana Kippei, Ishida Gin is the player he should learn from the most.
