"Yes!"

As Ōmagari Ryūji's temporary partner, Takei Toshio, another player on Court 3, was extremely nervous at this moment.

He had been at the training camp for a long time and was very familiar with the true strength of the First String members. He didn't dare to object to Ōmagari Ryūji's request at all.

Meanwhile, in the small Kurobe room, Saito Itaru, and Takuetsue Ryuji also perked up slightly.

As the coach of mixed training, Takuya has high expectations for Sanada and Akutsu.

Meanwhile, the coaching staff in black on the sidelines, under Kurobe's instructions, were ready, and the data on the computer began to change.

They arranged this Shuffle Match, and they also needed to collect real data on these junior high school students.

Once this match is played, the data on Sanada and Akutsu in the database will definitely be updated.

The middle school students, of course, also had great confidence in the combination of Akutsu and Sanada.

Moreover, seeing this incredibly dreamlike combination, some were even gloating over the high school students on the other side.

However, as the competition began, the expected scenario did not occur. Instead, it shocked the junior high school students in a more bizarre way.

"The match begins! A three-set showdown! Sanada Genichirou vs. Akutsu Jin's serve."

Bang!

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept past Akutsu.

Thump!

The sound of tennis balls hitting the ground and walls was exceptionally loud in the otherwise silent court.

"Game, Ōmagari Ryūji and Takei Toshio's team win, score 6:2."

In the first game, Ōmagari Ryūji won cleanly and decisively, and judging from the game itself, it was a completely one-sided match.

Ōmagari Ryūji completely overwhelmed Sanada and Akutsu by himself.

"Wow, that's amazing Dual Wielding!"

"He actually managed to suppress Akutsu and Sanada all by himself!"

"Is this the true strength of Stadium Number Three?!"

Seeing Sanada and Akutsu also walking back to the rest area looking a little dizzy, the middle school students started discussing among themselves.

Their faces were all solemn, for those present were not just any ordinary people, but the strongest among their middle school students.

But unexpectedly, he was completely overwhelmed when facing that mustachioed man.

The rest area on the sidelines.

"This person's level is completely different from the others."

Akutsu was slightly out of breath, and he narrowed his eyes, which held a hint of heat and excitement.

It's that feeling again, that absolute suppression, that fear that feels like you'll be plunged into the abyss at any moment.

However, compared to Saeki Muneyoshi's dark and unfathomable nature, and Oni Jūjirō's godlike and demonic aura, Ōmagari Ryūji clearly exerted less pressure on him.

Akutsu's excitement stemmed from this: he could use the pressure from the Omagari type of ancient Chinese instrument) to accomplish things he had always wanted to do but hadn't been able to.

Sanada shares a similar personality with him, is the same...

However, Sanada was more angry than Akutsu was excited.

"We absolutely cannot let our guard down like this in the second game Akutsu!"

Sanada pulled down the brim of his hat, concealing his extremely unpleasant facial expression.

After a short break, the second set began.

Sanada, crouching in the back, glared ahead, a dark aura behind him like a tornado enveloping his entire body.

Difficult to know like the shade!

After activating the Difficult to know like the shade, Sanada's concentration increased dramatically.

"Tsk tsk. They're all just fancy-looking gadgets!"

"You guys can't even force me to play a Game 7!"

Upon seeing this, Omagari simply smiled faintly.

Bang!

"Game, Ōmagari Ryūji vs. Takei Toshio, 3:0."

Bang!

Another loud bang.

As he leaped high into the air, Ōmagari Ryūji again changed his swing at the last moment.

A golden streak of light tore through the outer layer of the black tornado and crashed into Sanada's bottom corner.

However, having adapted for so long, Sanada was now gradually able to keep up with his opponent's speed.

"Moving like Thunder!"

The silvery-white electric light shone on the field, but it was intercepted by Omagari's powerful full-court defense just as it leaped over the halfway line.

"Hey, that's a good move, but it's still too slow!"

Tap tap...

Sanada quickly stepped out from the backcourt and blocked the tennis ball once again.

Its speed is like a violent storm!

The emerald green energy was enveloped by the black aura, and the dark green stream of light flew back to Ōmagari Ryūji's half of the field.

"Hmm, it's even faster than before!"

"It seems these kids are indeed much stronger than those small fry, but they're still far from it!"

Omagari glanced at Sanada's swing, then quickly started running, reappearing at the landing point of the tennis ball and ready to return the shot.

"I'll show you what true Dual Wielding about!"

Omagari's raised hand delivered Half Volley that created a beautiful arc.

"Heh heh. You better not look down on me! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Seeing Omagari's return, Akutsu leaped up in the frontcourt, his pale aura concentrated into the tennis ball, and an astonishing wave emanated from it.

"Huh? What's this?"

Even Omagari felt a great sense of danger as he faced Akutsu's attack.

"Looks like we need to finish this quickly. These two guys truly live up to Muneyoshi's reputation as geniuses!"

Bang!

"Game, Akutsu Jin. Sanada Genichirou's team, 3:5."

The second game was much more intense than the first.

A major reason for this is that Sanada and Akutsu have begun to adapt to Ōmagari Ryūji's current speed and power.

During their few weeks at the training camp, the two of them improved their skills considerably through continuous matches.

However, they did not complete their transformation, mainly because other ordinary opponents could not put pressure on them, while Oni Jūjirō completely overwhelmed them.

The gap is too large, and there is no fertile ground for transformation.

Now that they've met Ōmagari Ryūji, it's just the right time.

Omagari's strength is definitely greater than theirs, and because of the limitation of the sixth level of strength, they cannot use their full strength to crush them.

This created a sense of urgency for Akutsu and Sanada, a feeling of immense pressure, yet also a feeling that they couldn't be killed instantly.

Under this pressure, as the competition progressed, the two individuals' previously stagnant abilities began to change again.

"Aaaaah, you damn bastard, you single-handedly dominated us for almost two matches!" Akutsu Jin gripped the tennis ball tightly in his hand and growled.

"Now you can just die!" Akutsu Jin gripped the tennis ball tightly in his hand.

Then, pale auras began to contract into Akutsu's body, while at the same time, his spiritual power began to gather in his palm.

The streaks of silvery-white light grew deeper and deeper, gradually turning golden, while occasionally blood-red threads flowed around them.

Sizzle!

Under the spotlight.

Akutsu Jin released his grip, and the racket struck the glowing tennis ball heavily, transforming into a streak of silver and dark gold light that instantly hurtled towards Ōmagari Ryūji.

"This is..."

"What an incredible talent! It seems like no one has ever taught him, has he? He's already grasped the basics of the Shining Shot technique?"

How could such a scene escape Irie Kanata's eyes? His previously smiling face vanished, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

A prototype of the Shining Shot device.

The move that Akutsu Jin used was clearly the most basic stage of the Shining Shot.

Moreover, its colors are very mixed, clearly indicating that they haven't been blended well yet.

"But..."

"Even if it's just Shining Shot, unless it reaches another level, it's nothing to Senior Omagari."

As Irie spoke, Muneyoshi's voice also rang in his ears. Compared to Irie's seriousness, Muneyoshi seemed rather nonchalant.

After all, he knew about Akutsu's talent.

"Very good, it seems my previous intuition was correct!"

"But what can Light Ball of your size do?"

"Savage Tiger!"

The moment Omagari finished speaking, his footsteps instantly appeared at the landing point of the tennis ball!

Boom!

A deafening roar!

The racket in his hand steadily intercepted the tennis ball; this imperfect, Light Ball posed no threat to Omagari.

"Kid! I'm not afraid of even a real Light Ball, let alone your move!"

Omagari let out a sharp shout and swung his thick arm forcefully.

Bang!

The ball exploded with light!

The tennis ball roared past Akutsu Jin, then flew over Sanada Genichirou's defense, and struck a deep crater in the center of their half of the court.

"Game, Ōmagari Ryūji and Takei Toshio's team win, 6:3."

The referee's voice rang out appropriately as the tennis ball flew out of bounds.
