The Clash

"Seigaku Kawamura scores, 15:30"

The tennis ball landed, and the referee's call brought everyone back to reality.

"Because the two of them were so fiercely opposed, they forgot that the game had only just begun..."

"I can't believe it's only been three balls; it feels like ages."

"Yes, in a normal match, they only need one goal to score."

"It's fair to say that in these three balls, both sides have used up all the Wave Ball they would need for an entire match..."

"At this point in the competition, regardless of who wins in the end, it will be a match without controversy."

Shitenhoji and the Seigaku team had already let go of their obsession with winning or losing the match, because the two players on the court had given them such a profound shock.

The people of Shitenhoji were amazed by Kawamura's relentless counterattacks, while Seigaku was stunned by Ishida's ever-increasing power in his returns.

"I think the game will end within three goals. Their arms, wrists, and even shoulders can't hold up for much longer."

Within three goals, whoever gives up first loses the match.

Horio carefully observed the two players on the field, clearly seeing the condition of their arms, wrists, and shoulder muscles.

"The racket gave out at this crucial moment. Looks like we can't afford to delay any longer; we need to resolve this decisively."

Looking at the racket with a hole in it, Ishida's brows furrowed.

"Great! Come on, come on! I'm not afraid!"

Kawamura's emotions immediately soared when he saw that he had finally scored.

However, the pain in his hand, which was wielding the racket, was becoming increasingly noticeable.

On the fourth point, Ishida, determined to end the battle quickly, served a slightly weaker Wave Serve than Kawamura's Charging Wave Ball serve just now.

Kawamura didn't hesitate for long. He squatted slightly with his right leg and stretched his left leg back, charging up his Charging Wave Ball once more.

Bang!

"The same force as the last ball, have you already run out of tricks?! Thirty-fifth move, Wave Ball!"

Ishida saw that Kawamura hadn't increased his power, so he hit Wave Ball that was two moves higher.

"No... If we add any more power, I'll injure my wrist. The match has only just begun..."

Kawamura was clearly aware of the condition of his upper right body, and at this moment he needed to make a decision.

In that moment of hesitation, the best opportunity to gather strength was missed.

By the time he realized what was happening, the tennis ball had already flown over the net.

It was too late for him to gather his strength, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the ball.

But the result was obvious: lacking strength, he not only had his racket knocked away, but he was also sent flying.

"Shitenhoji Ishida scores, 40:15"

"Aron!"

Are you alright, Aron?

"How are you? Are you alright?!"

"Kawamura -Senpai!"

Seeing Kawamura fly backward, the Seigaku members immediately tensed up.

"It's alright everyone, I was just spacing out, don't worry."

Kawamura got up from the ground and smiled at everyone.

Despite what Kawamura said, others could still tell that the ball had caused Kawamura considerable harm.

"That ball was so powerful it wasn't easy to digest... Luckily it was Kawamura- Senpai; if it had been anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to get up."

Aside from the two players on the field, Horio knew better than anyone the power of Ishida's Thirty-Fifth Wave Ball.

Kawamura, who had been in excellent spirits, was somewhat hunched over after enduring that ball. Although he managed to get up, his body was now hunched over.

"This should be the turning point of the match. Kawamura's hesitation just now directly ruined what was originally a close contest."

"Now, not only are his wrists affected, but his entire physical function is also impacted. It looks like Ah Yin will be able to win the match smoothly."

Shiraishi and Oshitari also noticed something about Kawamura, but their words did not improve Watanabe Shu's expression on the Coach bench.

"Will it go smoothly? That's still a question. That Kawamura seems to be quite a stubborn person..."

Clearly, Watanabe Shu is still not optimistic about the current situation of the match. Since no overwhelming advantage has emerged, the match could end in any way.

"Is this the end for you?"

On the court, Ishida was also paying close attention to Kawamura's situation. As his opponent, gaining an advantage should have been a cause for celebration.

However, by this time, Kawamura had become a close friend in Ishida's heart. Even if he won, Ishida wouldn't be happy if he couldn't play a game with his close friend to his heart's content.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but Ishida's serve was still powerful, and the tennis ball flew out with the power of the 35th Wave Ball.

"Ah Yin! Stop hitting such powerful shots all the time! Your opponent has reached their limit, so tone it down a bit!"

Seeing that Ishida on the court was still choosing this serve, Shiraishi on the sidelines finally couldn't help but speak up and advise him.

However, just like Coach Ryuzaki Kawamura, Ishida seemed unable to hear what his teammates were saying at this moment.

Just as Shiraishi was speaking, Kawamura, who was opposite Ishida, unexpectedly made another sprint.

This time, the Seigaku members didn't say a word; they knew that even if they did, Kawamura wouldn't listen.

"This should be Kawamura -Senpai's limit. If the opponent can continue after this, then we'll have to rely on Oishi- Senpai and Kikumaru- Senpai for the rest of the game."

Horio, his eyes flashing with a purple-gold light, withdrew his attention and then spoke to the Golden Pair beside him.

Horio not only saw Kawamura's situation, but he also saw Ishida's situation clearly with Horio Eye of Shattering Delusions.

If Ishida had chosen not to return the ball that Kawamura hit, he would have only lost that one point.

What Kawamura lost was the victory of the entire match.

But for power-type athletes, how could they possibly run away?

After Kawamura unleashed his most terrifying Charging Wave Ball to date, Ishida no longer cared about his hand, which was already nearing its limit.

"The Thirty-Eighth Style Wave Ball!"

Ishida's energetic voice rang out from the court, and everyone's attention, which had been focused on the tennis ball, turned to him.

This was a pivotal moment; if Ishida hadn't returned the ball, his hand would have truly reached its limit.

If they were to fight back, given Kawamura's personality, he would definitely retaliate at all costs.

In this situation, Kawamura would definitely be hit out of bounds again by Ishida's return shot, and his entire right hand would lose its ability to play.

In an instant, the tennis ball was in front of Ishida.
