Pressure

Bang!

Bang!

Boom!

"The Thirty-Seventh Wave Shot, Haa!"

"It's no use, Ishida- kun. If your strongest power is only this Thirty-Seventh Form, then the match is over!"

Bang!

"Saeki Muneyoshi, you want to end this? No way! The Forty-Second Wave Shot!"

Ishida Gin unleashed an even greater power, firing a more potent Wave Shot.

"Ishida -kun, that's not bad, but keep it up. You're far from strong enough to defeat me."

Muneyoshi once again steadily caught Ishida Gin's Wave Shot with the center of his racket.

However, the powerful force continued to shake his racket, and with his wrist constantly dissipating the force, the tennis ball was hit back once again.

Furthermore, through constant use of the Wave Shot in combat, this direct and brute force collision ignited his own recklessness, and Muneyoshi began to understand the Wave Shot.

The Wave Shot is a special move that Ishida Gin developed himself, concentrating and doubling its power. Once the trick is found, Muneyoshi, who has the Sweet Spot Technique, can easily imitate it.

Therefore, Muneyoshi returned the ball with Wave Shot as well, and the power of this ball reached or exceeded the 42nd style that Ishida Gin had just mentioned.

"What!"

"He actually hit Wave Shot too!"

"How is that possible!"

Ishida Gin didn't care about the astonishment of the crowd outside the court. He was much more accepting of Muneyoshi's ability to hit the Wave Shot than the others.

Only those who have faced Muneyoshi can truly understand the overwhelming, suffocating power that feels like an abyss.

"Saeki Muneyoshi, the Wave Shot is something I developed myself. There are only seventy-two variations in total. If you can handle it, then there's no point in continuing the match..."

Upon hearing this, even Muneyoshi, who knew Ishida Gin very well, couldn't help but look at him sideways. He hadn't expected that Ishida Gin, who was only a first-year student, had already mastered the Wave Shot technique to the 72nd style.

Although a more powerful Wave Shot, which is a fusion of the 108 styles, has not yet been developed, it is still beyond our current capabilities.

However, even with today's power levels, such pure strength fighters are not so easy to deal with.

Although he appears capable of returning the opponent's tennis balls, he is well aware of his own limitations.

Without the constant help of Sweet Spot Hit Technique to deflect the force, he would have been sent flying long ago, and even then, his wrist was already feeling its limit.

Moreover, although it's the same Wave Shot, the effect is completely different when Ishida Gin catches it.

Although Ishida hasn't fully mastered the Sweet Spot Technique, he does have a unique skill that Wave Ball Nullification, allowing him to easily deflect all the force of any Wave Shot.

Although there is a limit to the Wave Ball Nullification, Muneyoshi certainly cannot reach that limit by simply hitting the Wave Shot at this moment.

Despite the subtle but noticeable Wave Shot from the constant barrage of ricochets, his wrist became somewhat red and swollen.

Compared to athletes who excel in technique or speed, these pure power athletes are not so easy to deal with when they go head-to-head.

Boom!

Ishida Gin caught Muneyoshi's Wave Shot, flicked his wrist, and the force on the ball instantly dissipated.

"Wave Shot, Sixty Styles."

Having already revealed his true strength, Ishida Gin no longer held back, displaying his Wave Shot debuffing technique while simultaneously increasing his power.

Although he had sensed Saeki Muneyoshi's strength, he felt that he would not lose to anyone, not even Saeki Muneyoshi, in terms of physical strength.

"Drink it!"

Dust billowed across the court as Muneyoshi used the center of his racket to receive the ball, the veins on his wrist bulging, but he persisted.

The racket kept shaking to dissipate the force, and finally, the 60th Wave Shot was caught with one hand.

However, he also sensed that he had reached the limit of his current strength.

Feeling a slight soreness in his wrist, Muneyoshi knew that he was no match for Ishida Gin in terms of strength alone.

Fortunately, he has now gotten what he wanted.

Once he retrieves the Fluorescent Flame Seed, it won't be long before his power breaks through again.

Suck--

Call--

Muneyoshi took a deep breath, a glint of malice appearing in his eyes.

"Ishida, stop holding back! Use your full power! The next ball won't be a simple catch for me!"

Actually, Ishida Gin was also nearing his limit. Although the power of the Wave Shot increased further back in the chain, they also caused more damage to his arm.

Even with his exceptional talent and unwavering dedication to honing his skills, Ishida Gin dared not use it too many times.

If used improperly, your arm will be ruined.

After all, he's only in first grade.

However, he accepted Muneyoshi's request.

"Saeki Muneyoshi, as you wish."

"Wave Shot, Seventy-Second Form!"

Power-type players usually have a fiery temper. Even the kind-hearted Kawamura in the original work is more passionate than anyone else when he picks up a racket.

Having played against Ishida Gin for so long, and being constantly provoked like this, even Muneyoshi's usually calm face showed a hint of anger.

He unleashed the strongest 72-style Wave Shot he could currently execute.

Unfortunately, for Muneyoshi, who abandoned head-on confrontations and instead used Darkness Shot, there was no need for him to learn the technique of Wave Ball Nullification.

Although the power of the Shining Shot, which is as outwardly apparent as Meteor Strike, is much more restrained, darkness is much more subtle.

But this overwhelming sense of destruction could easily overwhelm the tiny firefly of the Wave Shot.

Swish!

Muneyoshi reached out and found a ball of what looked like a black, Glowing Flame burning in his palm, followed by a surge of dark energy within his body.

A flash of dark light enveloped the tennis ball.

But in an instant, all the darkness vanished, absorbed into the tennis ball.

The black light rose like flames, making the tennis ball seem to be burning.

On the sidelines of the court.

The onlookers were also filled with astonishment.

The feeling of being swallowed by endless darkness they had just experienced sent chills down their spines, and now the sensation of the burning tennis ball made them feel incredibly uneasy.

"Danger!!"

"Get out of the way, Ishida!"

Watanabe Osamu was the first to react and reminded Ishida, who was in the middle of the field.

But Muneyoshi didn't give them any chance to catch their breath.

Blazing Sun Burn - Dark Fluorescent Flame!

The Dark Fluorescent Flame was used to unleash Blazing Sun Burn, which also served to completely detonate the Fluorescent Flame Seed within the opponent's body and then retract it.

Muneyoshi's two ball skills combined perfectly at this moment.

"Boom!"

Muneyoshi's powerful counterattack shattered Ishida's Wave Shot instantly, though it was then struck back with even greater force.

"Don't answer!!!"

"Drink it!!!"

Upon seeing Muneyoshi's shot, Ishida Gin's eyes widened in anger. Holding his racket with both hands, he ignored Watanabe Osamu's advice and tried to return the ball.

But the moment he received the ball, Ishida Gin felt a powerful force coming from the racket face.

The tennis ball then wobbled on the racket face, tearing the net to shreds. In less than three seconds, Ishida Gin could no longer hold on, and his hands loosened, sending the racket flying.

The tennis ball broke free of the racket's constraints and slammed heavily onto the dirt ground.

This created a hole the size of a bowl on what was originally a smooth tennis court opposite.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on everyone's foreheads. If Ishida Gin hadn't caught that ball, any one of them would have been finished.

Even Ishida was now collapsed on the ground.

"Ah Yin!"

"Ishida!"

The members of Shitenhoji all entered the area and helped Ishida Gin up. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he had no injuries.

But seeing that swollen, red arm, the tattered racket, and the tennis ball deeply embedded in the crater...

Everyone felt a deep sense of pressure.

This guy from Kyoto is a monster!

P. S.: Goodnight, back to work tomorrow~
