On the field, the two sides switched sides. 💘🎈 ♨🐧

The two teams were about to cross at the center line when Ochi Gekko paused as he passed Evangelos.

Ochi Gekko's bangs had been lifted up at some point.

A pair of dark blue eyes, like a full moon, were revealed, and a terrifying yet invisible spiritual force spread from Ochi's body to Gerald's body.

"It looks like there will be a full moon tonight!"

Gallos looked up and instantly his entire field of vision was filled by two pupils. The intense mental pressure made his head spin, and he almost lost his balance.

"What's going on... what was that just now?!"

Gaelos shook his head to shake off the fear in his heart, but when he turned to look at Ochi Gekko's departing figure again, he felt a sense of unease.

"Gailos, what are you standing there for? It's your turn to serve!"

When Heracles saw that Gaelus had stopped and was not moving, he couldn't help but shout.

"Okay... okay!"

Gallos cleared his mind of distractions and stepped to the bottom line.

He gently tapped the tennis ball in his hand twice, then grabbed it and tossed it to the right front.

Bang!

Fluid movements, a perfect jump, and a smash serve using the momentum of a forward lean – this is also the serve that Gallos excels at.

Just as he was overjoyed, thinking he had perfectly displayed all the strength in his body, an unexpected event occurred.

"Serving error!"

A dull thud echoed as Gailos's seemingly perfect serve struck the net squarely, barely clearing it.

"What's this middle school kid doing? He's competing in a world-class tournament and he still manages to misserve?"

The spectators outside the stadium didn't understand what had happened, but in their eyes, such a basic mistake was unacceptable.

Seeing Heracles' questioning gaze, Gaelos immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, senior, I don't know what happened either, but it definitely won't happen again!"

Heracles didn't press Gaelos with words, instead moving to the other side of the attacking third to take his position. 💜💜 👺🐳

In the backcourt, Gaylos took two deep breaths, and then, just as he was about to serve again...

He looked up and met Ochi Gekko's cold, godlike eyes.

In an instant, an overwhelming sense of oppression surged like a river bursting its banks, and fear and pressure filled Gallos's heart.

"Double fault! Japan Team scores, 15-0."

"Double fault! Japan Team scores, 30-0."

"Game, Japan Team scores, score 2-2."

The Greece Team called a timeout.

Arriving at the sidelines, Gaelus's face showed a hint of guilt, and he apologized directly to Zeus.

"Lord Zeus, I performed terribly, I'm so sorry."

His own mistake completely cost him the game, which was a disaster for Garros.

Upon hearing this, Zeus showed little reproach on his face; he simply turned his head slightly.

"Geros, no need to apologize. It wasn't entirely your fault; it was just a psychological tactic used by our opponent."

Furthermore, you need to trust your teammates and not be afraid. This is a best-of-three match, and the first set isn't even over yet. You still have many opportunities to make amends and turn the tide.

For a newcomer who has just entered the third year of junior high school this year, Zeus has bestowed upon him the mercy befitting God King.

Gaelus looked at Zeus's radiant smile and felt an overwhelming sense of admiration and loyalty towards Zeus.

"Lord Zeus, please rest assured, I will overcome this!"

Gaelos's tone was firm, then he looked at Heracles beside him. "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Heracles. I won't let you down again!"

Upon hearing this, Heracles nodded steadily; his robust and muscular physique provided a very reliable sense of security.

Once on the court, the serve changed hands again, this time with Ochi Gekko serving.

Bang!

Ochi showed no mercy, immediately unleashing four Mach Serve serves to take the game.

"His serve speed hasn't slowed down at all..."

Evangelos exhaled a breath of stale air, though with Zeus's help he had overcome his fear. 🎁☟ ♟😾

However, when Ochi Gekko unleashed Mach, his calm and composed aura once again exerted immense pressure on him.

"Hmm, so ordinary methods really don't work?"

Heracles' calm face showed no panic or tension. He crossed his arms and stroked his beard with one hand.

As if he had made a decision, specks of silvery-white light began to gather around his body.

His azure eyes were now shimmering with silver light.

Buzz!

A dazzling silver light rose from Heracles' body.

As the silvery light continued to gather, his eyes turned completely into a dazzling silver, and the surging energy around him caused his soft, bushy beard to tremble gently.

Gaelos, positioned in the backfield, watched Heracles's momentum steadily rise ahead, his expression somewhat dazed. "This is... the Olympia Silver Light!"

"Geros, don't look that person in the eye, or just stand quietly in the corner!"

Heracles smiled slightly. Although his words sounded hurtful, their powerful spiritual influence gently soothed Gaelus, erasing the fear in his heart once again.

"Leave the rest to me!"

The fifth game was Garros's serve. As his fear resurfaced, the Silver Light temporarily shielded him from Ochi's assassination attempt.

This allowed him to serve a complete game, but in this state, he was clearly no Ochi, who had entered Sleep State and unleashed his full potential.

After repeated struggles, even Heracles, who had activated his Silver Light, was no match for the overwhelming force.

Like Mouri, Gallos also had his serve broken.

Bang!

"Game Japan Team scores, score 3-2."

The sixth game was Heracles' serve. He had a smile on his face, and his Silver Light shone brightly, showing no signs of tension despite being at a disadvantage.

He seemed very relaxed.

Although Ochi Gekko and Mori Juzaburo's partnership seems like a perfect match, it's not without its weaknesses.

Moreover, the Mental Assassination that Galos suffered was not yet fatal; with Galos actively defending him, he had not completely lost his fighting ability.

Heracles gripped the tennis ball tightly in his left hand and tossed it forward.

"Naive Tail!"

Heracles roared, and a loud bang came from his racket.

Although Mouri was Sleep State, his reactions and perceptions were at their highest level in this state.

Without any hesitation, relying on his senses and muscle memory, he subconsciously moved his feet, appearing just before the tennis ball landed with only a slight movement.

And the racket met the bouncing tennis ball perfectly.

A slight smile played at the corners of Heracles's lips.

"Naive Tail isn't just about spinning; it can also have power!"

The Silver Light that had been swirling within the tennis ball suddenly burst forth.

Boom!

The seemingly weak sidespin shot suddenly bounced high on the clay.

However, Mouri's Sleep State enhanced his senses, allowing him to barely react in this critical moment.

Mouri gently rotated his wrist, adjusting the racket head to ensure the racket struck the tennis ball at the optimal hitting point.

However, even with such technological assistance, the inherent gap and the immense power enhanced by the Silver Light remain.

It still travels from the racket to his wrist and the space between his thumb and forefinger.

Mouri couldn't help but loosen his grip, and the racket was instantly swept away by the tennis ball and flew out of bounds.

"Mouri, don't open your eyes! Watch out for that guy over there, we'll take the next point back!"

Looking at Mouri whose racket had been knocked away, Ochi said in a deep voice.

"I know, Ochi- senpai!"

Mouri nodded. Although he had encountered many masters since the start of the expedition, he still couldn't help but get excited whenever he met a completely different master.

Heracles chuckled softly and drew the paddle behind him again.

"Naive Tail!"

Ochi Gekko's gaze sharpened, and he sprinted towards the spot where the tennis ball had landed.

"If it's just a slight change in strength, it won't be difficult for me!"

The tennis ball fell to the ground before Ochi's eyes.

However, the next second, the Silver Light erupted again, but this time it was not power, but speed.

A beam of light flew past Ochi's cheek, the resulting shockwave making his hair fly back and his cheek sting.

"It's even changing... Is this the Silver Light...?"

Ochi was silent for a moment, then pondered for a while and realized that although the speed and power of the opponent's serve were not very high at the beginning, the change began after the ball landed.

That must be the wonderful use of the Silver Light.

You should know that the venue they are playing on today is one of the most rare clay courts in the world!

On clay courts, the friction between the ball and the ground is greater than on hard courts, so the ball bounces at a slower speed than on other surfaces.

Even Ochi himself could sense that the power of his Mach was actually weakened slightly.

However, the fact that the opponent can still make such a change indicates that their Silver Light is particularly well-suited to clay courts.

"Hehe!"

Heracles smiled and took another tennis ball from his pocket.

The Silver Light surrounding him became even more dazzling!

"I won this round, Naive Tail!"

It's not really about buffing Heracles; it's that the original portrayal of the Greece Team was terrible, and the match design was unreasonable. They even had Oishi up with Ochi —what could Ochi possibly do? Lower Ochi's margin for error? Or was he just there for laughs?

Furthermore, Heracles' character design is problematic. He actually feels guilty for hitting someone with a tennis ball, which is ridiculous. After all, after that game, Execution Method, all sorts of cruel punishments. Why doesn't he feel guilty?

So I think Konomi didn't really intend to portray the Greece Team properly, making their loss too hasty.

Zeus is supposed to be able to dominate the Tanegashima in the early game, but he won with just a bottle cap. It's really speechless.

Therefore, I made further modifications to the fan-made content and settings, without mindlessly weakening the high school students.

In my opinion, Heracles and Ochi at full power should be on the same level.
