Horio's Light Ball Shot, The Final Begins
Bang!
The Light Ball Shot returned by Horio left Tokugawa with no time to react.
The tennis ball bounced off the ground and struck the wall behind him, creating a huge dent.
The sunken wall was riddled with countless fragments, and Tokugawa was blown away by the shockwave from the tennis ball.
"Is this all your Light Ball Shot is? Then I'll show you my Light Ball Shot."
Looking at Tokugawa lying on the ground, Horio no longer hesitated.
After Tokugawa struggled to his feet, Horio took out a tennis ball.
The tennis ball suddenly emitted a purple light in Horio's hand, and then Horio threw it.
Using the center of the racket as the contact point, Horio hits the ball.
Seeing this, Tokugawa quickly swung his racket to cut space and create Black Hole.
The Black Hole that appeared blocked Horio's Light Ball Shot, but this time the Black Hole failed.
Under the impact of the purple Light Ball Shot, the Black Hole gradually developed cracks, and finally Shatter like a mirror.
Another gust of air swept by, and Tokugawa was thrown into the air once more.
The wall behind him was breached again, revealing a large, sunken hole.
"That kid can even Light Ball Shot."
"And his Light Ball Shot feels so familiar..."
"I know what you're thinking, and that's what I'm thinking too."
"It seems this young man is about to stir up a storm in the First String and even the world."
Seeing Horio also hit Light Ball Shot, Oni and Irie tacitly chose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, in the control room on the other side, Kurobe stared at the data compiled on the computer screen, lost in thought.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Under Horio's overwhelming offensive, Tokugawa could only passively take the beating.
Before we knew it, the game was over.
"I won! No. 1 in Court No. 1 is mine!"
Horio walked up to Tokugawa, who was lying on the ground, and reached out to help him up.
However, Tokugawa was not appreciative; he couldn't accept the result of his defeat.
"Don't worry, I just want to prove I'm qualified for this position. You'll still be in Order Maintainer at the Training Base."
Shrugging, Horio revealed his purpose.
"My purpose in coming here isn't to take your position, but to seek help from people like you who are capable enough."
After saying that, Horio looked at Oni and Irie to the side.
"Alright, alright, that's enough for now. Now that the match is over, let's get down to business."
At this moment, Saito stepped forward and looked at Horio with a smile.
"This is the person the Head Coach recommended. I think you all recognize his abilities."
"Speak, what is your purpose?"
At this moment, the demon, with a stern face, crossed his arms and looked at Horio.
Horio, without mincing words, directly stated his purpose.
"It's very simple. My purpose in coming here is to have you practice with me using your best skills."
Hearing Horio say that, Oni and Irie were taken aback.
However, since it was an order from Head Coach Mifune, they had no choice but to comply.
As a result, everyone in the U-17 Training Base who caught Horio lined up to compete against Horio.
"The National Tournament finals between Seigaku and Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Junior High are about to begin. Please prepare yourselves."
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and before we knew it, the day of the finals had arrived.
The announcement rang out over the loudspeaker in the stadium, and because it was the final, the stands were completely full.
Players from all the schools showed up to witness whether Rikkai Dai would win their third consecutive championship or Seigaku would make history.
"The match is about to start, why isn't Horio here yet? That guy's always like this."
"Don't worry, don't worry, that kid always only shows up at the crucial moment."
"Even though he's First Singles, he can't be this arrogant. Today is the finals, you know."
In the Seigaku players' waiting area, Oishi and his friends were complaining about Horio.
Little did they know that Horio was also rushing back at the same time, but not by car, but by helicopter.
"The match is about to begin. Please come forward and shake hands."
"Oh no, it's time to go on stage. If Horio isn't here, we'll be exposed when we go on."
"It should be fine. We have just enough people for the match, the referee shouldn't say anything."
"Never mind, let's get on the field first. Hopefully, Horio can get back in time."
The announcement came over the loudspeaker again, and the Seigaku students reluctantly stepped onto the court.
Unlike Seigaku, Rikkai Dai spirit.
"Hopefully we can put on a great match, but it seems like one of you is missing."
At the net, Rikkai Dai's Captain Yukimura Seiichi, and Seigaku's current Captain, Oishi, shook hands in greeting.
Hearing Yukimura say that, Oishi also felt a little embarrassed.
Just as I was about to explain, the sound of a propeller spinning suddenly came from the sky.
A helicopter appeared in the sky and flew towards the stadium.
After reaching the maximum distance, a figure jumped off the helicopter.
"Sorry everyone, I rushed back without stopping."
After landing, the figure spoke to the Seigaku members, then looked up at another person on the helicopter.
Thanks.
"You're welcome. I'm also very interested to see if Seigaku can end Rikkai Dai's three-peat."
Before anyone could reprimand Horio, the voice from the person on the helicopter drew everyone's attention.
"It's Atobe!? Could Horio's long disappearance be related to Atobe?"
This was the only thought that popped into the minds of the Seigaku members. After speaking with Horio, the helicopter left.
"Hey Horio! Today was the finals and you almost missed it!"
"Seriously, do you even care about this?"
"Thank goodness you made it in time, otherwise everyone would have been worried sick."
"Alright everyone, now that Horio has caught up, let's stop talking and focus on preparing for the match."
After Horio's little incident, the competition could continue on both sides.
"To be honest, Rikkai Dai's strength this year is far inferior to that of previous years. If there is any team that can stop them from winning a three-peat, it's only Seigaku."
From the stands, Shiraishi watched the two teams on the field and spoke with a serious expression.
"The two-time champion Rikkai Dai and the rapidly rising Seigaku are truly a rare and perhaps even historic match."
With Seigaku's Tezuka absent and Rikkai Dai's Captain Yukimura returning, this match will be significant regardless of who wins.
Atobe, who had just been on the helicopter, walked out of the passageway and looked at Seigaku's serious and ready atmosphere with an expectant smile on his face.
"The final match between Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Junior High Seigaku Academy is now underway. The first match Third Singles."
"Fuji vs. Niou Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Junior High Seigaku Academy Niou, please prepare."
