In the stands.
Seeing two German players in a row follow such ultimate paths had even Echizen Nanjirō turning his attention to them.
Although he had once reached that realm himself, it had been many years since he had seen it again.
"Ultimate Light..."
Looking at QP, now completely enveloped in white light, he spoke a few syllables, clearly stating the true name of the Light of Restraint.
On the court.
Bathed in dazzling light, QP lowered his gaze to the tennis ball in his hand.
Boom!
No one saw how he moved. In an instant, he had struck a powerful serve.
The ball streaked like a beam of light, leaving a dazzling mustard-yellow afterimage in the air.
Muneyoshi's steps faltered. His right leg, already stepping forward, came to an abrupt stop as he twisted to the left.
Thwack!
Even though the ball's path had been a blur to him, he still managed to return it with a curving backhand drive.
The ball became an arc of black-and-gold blade-light.
Chaotic Flower Burial!
Tap, tap...
His rapid footsteps almost completely overlapped, and the moment Muneyoshi returned the ball, Ultimate Light was already at the net.
"Too slow."
QP's ice-cold voice rang out from the other side again.
His gaze, veiled by Cloudbreak, watched Muneyoshi's movements coldly, as if in slow motion.
Saeki Muneyoshi had indeed shown astonishing growth and strength, but by QP's calculations, he should have been about his equal.
And although Muneyoshi had just forced him to awaken true Cloudbreak, the two games they had played had still gone according to his expectations.
But now that he had entered this state, none of that mattered anymore.
Echizen Nanjirō had once reached this realm, and now QP had reached it too. That made him the new Tennis God!
Boom!
