Europe

"Muneyoshi, Muneyoshi, snap out of it! We're almost in Spain!"

A gentle voice sounded in Muneyoshi's ear, trying to wake him up, but seeing that Muneyoshi still didn't respond, Saeki Kanna patted his shoulder again.

As a mother, Saeki Kanna is somewhat worried about the changes in her son.

It is said that changes in children cannot be hidden from their parents, and even though Muneyoshi is usually very mature, he hides it very well.

But ever since that night three days ago when he returned home to Tokyo, Muneyoshi seemed to have suffered a huge blow.

He became somewhat absent-minded and often spaced out.

But whenever Muneyoshi was asked what had happened, he would always change the subject and refuse to tell the truth.

Kannai was extremely worried, especially since, for some reason, strangers had been frequently contacting her home by phone lately.

Their words implied a desire for Saeki Muneyoshi to train at their club.

Not only Kannai, but even Muneyoshi was extremely annoyed by the harassment.

Left with no other choice, Kannai contacted her husband, Muneyoshi's father, who was on a business trip in Spain, to explain the situation.

After making inquiries from various sources, he quickly understood the reason.

It turns out that Muneyoshi's tennis skills and talent have been discovered, and everyone wants to poach him.

Knowing this, Kannai was finally relieved.

After all, Muneyoshi is now entering puberty, and she is afraid that her somewhat violent son might have offended some social forces and been led astray.

Meanwhile, having learned of Muneyoshi's abilities, Saeki's father thought for a moment and then had Kannai take Muneyoshi, who was on leave from school, to Spain.

He has already used his connections to find a good club in Spain.

Since Muneyoshi has shown great tennis talent, his father should definitely provide him with a better platform.

The tennis atmosphere and training standards in Spain, and indeed throughout Europe, are far superior to those in Japan today.

When Muneyoshi heard the news, he only thought about it briefly before agreeing.

Now his mind is in turmoil. After receiving guidance from Byōdōin, Muneyoshi realizes the huge gap between them and has completely overturned his original plans.

He even lost interest in watching the Kanto Tournament.

He was more interested in seeing what European tennis was like now than the Japan high school students he had already played against.

So after packing everything up, Muneyoshi and his mother Kannai, boarded a plane to Spain.

The pat on the shoulder finally pulled Muneyoshi back from his wandering thoughts, and the light in his eyes quickly returned. He looked up and met Kannai's worried gaze.

Seeing this, Muneyoshi scratched his head and laughed:

"Mother, don't worry, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some things, and I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Seeing that the worry in his mother Kannai's eyes had not completely disappeared, Muneyoshi took his mother's hand and conveyed his apology.

The game against Byōdōin Hōō at the temple, a match that served as a valuable lesson, benefited him greatly, and he had been replaying it in his mind for the past two days.

Although it's a coaching session, since it's a competition, I'll definitely give it my all.

The result, of course, was utterly tragic.

Aside from the initial serve and the point won using the "Die Ming" technique, Byōdōin failed to score a single point after he became serious.

Especially after Muneyoshi unleashed the Falling Light technique and scored points, the aura of his Path of Darkness seemed to enrage Byōdōin.

This caused his already fragile barrier to be pierced directly.

The appearance of that skeletal pirate phantom rendered the rest of the match meaningless.

Of course, Muneyoshi was still very excited, after all, this was his first time directly facing the power of another dimension.

His mental strength is his forte, so he also has a great deal of experience in sensing and constructing environments.

However, compared to the superficial spiritual realm he constructed by combining mental power and the effects of darkness, this was far more effective.

The mental illusion that entered Different Dimension was like a solid iron hammer, smashing his newly constructed technique to pieces.

The golden light, radiating an astonishing destructive aura, the pirate figure wielding a knife, the indistinct, unformed sailing ships on the vast sea, and the lightning tearing through the sky, all illuminated his face with exceptional clarity.

During those exchanges, Muneyoshi felt waves of terrifying mental pressure emanating from that small tennis ball.

Byōdōin gets really serious, the power he unleashes, whether it's the Shining Shot or anything else, is truly terrifying.

Under that immense pressure, the light tore everything apart, and his darkness, torn apart by the light, seemed to become flickering dark spots.

Especially on the last ball, he could feel that under the stimulation of the darkness, Byōdōin's Shining Shot had improved even further.

This pinned his body firmly to the spot on the court, making it difficult for him to move even slightly.

If darkness hadn't already been incorporated into his system and he hadn't truly grasped its essence, he might have been directly obliterated and prevented from continuing his research on the Path of Darkness.

Byōdōin's personality was revealed at that moment; he was too domineering.

Especially after entering the Different Dimension Realm, his mental strength increased rapidly, and his five-dimensional data continued to grow.

"This is probably not even his full strength."

Looking at the illusory, yet not truly solidified, five-dimensional image in his mind, even Muneyoshi felt somewhat suffocated.

Speed 5, Skill 7, Strength 7, Stamina 5.5, Spirit 7 -11 -(13)(?)

The total is 31.5 - 35.5 (?).

Continuously strengthening...

These five-dimensional attributes are ten points stronger than Muneyoshi's, and that's not even the limit.

As far as Muneyoshi knows, Byōdōin's spiritual power will experience another surge after he progresses to the Alaya Consciousness.

Moreover, simply looking at the five-dimensional attributes of Byōdōin now.

He has reached the level of a true professional player.

Not the so-called U-17 world-class level, but the true adult professional level.

With his skill level, he could easily become a professional player if he were in one of the world's top four countries.

Unfortunately, he's in Japan.

In the world of sports, a crucial factor in distinguishing the skill level of professional players is whether their five core attributes reach a value of 30.

Because many states can enhance one's own strength.

For example, the Light of Restraint, or various fields, etc.

However, very few people, like Byōdōin, can reach the level of a professional player based on their basic five attributes.

They are basically all the main leaders and deputy leaders of a country, representing a team.

And today's Japan should have two such figures...

Byōdōin Hōō and Oni Jūjirō, and now the France's King of Destruction Duke Watanabe.

Shuji Tanegashima Shūji.

In that sense, with so many geniuses emerging at the same time, Japan is indeed at the forefront of an era.

As the plane docked at the terminal, Muneyoshi emptied his mind of all emotions, slung his golf bag over his shoulder, grabbed his luggage, and walked out with his mother.

"Spain, here I come!"

After taking a few breaths, Muneyoshi didn't feel much freedom. He and his mother walked out of the airport, where his father had already sent someone to pick them up.

As for tourism and scenery, he wasn't particularly curious. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be staying here for a few more months.

He has plenty of time.
