Duke Watanabe's Strength

He could see the tennis ball flying towards him, but he couldn't move.

Even though the tennis ball wasn't flying towards him, this unexpected situation still caught him somewhat off guard.

Fortunately, the tennis ball wasn't flying towards him. As the defender positioned in the direction the ball was flying, Mori Juzaburo, like Ochi Moonlight, was unable to move.

But just as the tennis ball was about to pass him, a sound of bones dislocating was heard.

"What? It can dislocate an arm?"

Atobe clearly saw that Mori Juzaburo's right arm was dislocated.

It was precisely because of the dislocated joint that he was able to successfully hit the ball.

Bang!

"First String scores, 15:0"

Click...

After scoring with a return shot, Mori Juzaburo's dislocated arm made a sound again.

When everyone looked over, his arm had miraculously returned to normal.

"That high school student can dislocate his arm at will and then immediately put it back in place."

"This is simply the nemesis of the Atobe Kingdom..."

Mori Juzaburo once again gave the junior high school students a big surprise, and also gave Atobe a big surprise.

"Those two are really pitiful. Mori Juzaburo's two signature moves perfectly countered Atobe Kingdom's Five Senses Deprivation."

"I think even they themselves couldn't have imagined that what repeatedly put them in trouble in this match wasn't Ochi, but Mori."

He uses "sleep" to escape the control of Five Senses Deprivation, and he dislocates his own joints to break the Atobe Kingdom.

With his freakish traits and techniques, Mori Juzaburo completely restrained these two top junior high school students.

Bang!

"First String scores, 30:0"

"Atobe, stop focusing on that person."

If we lose this game, the next game will be that tall guy's serve, and neither of us can afford to lose two games in a row."

"Stop arguing! I have my own plans."

Mori Juzaburo once again used his self-dislocated Atobe's shot aimed at the absolute corner. At this moment, Yukimura, who couldn't stand it anymore, couldn't help but warn Atobe.

At this point, Atobe had completely snapped under the pressure, and his inability to remain calm made him the easiest Atobe for defeat.

Although Atobe yelled at Yukimura, he still did as Yukimura said.

After Ochi Moonlight returned the ball, Atobe activated the Atobe Kingdom, aiming at Ochi Moonlight's absolute blind spot.

Bang!

Junior high school student's score: 15:30

This tactic worked perfectly; Ochi Moonlight couldn't dislocate his joint on his own and could only watch as the tennis ball scored in front of him.

"Your persistence won't get you anywhere; you might as well just admit defeat."

Despite being scored on by Atobe, Ochi Moonlight showed no emotion on his face.

Knowing that Atobe was specifically targeting his absolute blind spot, Ochi Moonlight already had a plan in mind.

After Atobe served again, he didn't return the ball to Atobe, but instead looked at Yukimura.

The two locked eyes and instinctively unleashed their mental power.

However, since they are all experts in mental strength, none of them can gain a significant advantage.

After a brief exchange of mental strength, Ochi Moonlight swung his racket.

"I knew it, you were going to hit the ball to me."

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Yukimura suddenly smiled and then stepped aside.

At that moment, Atobe appeared, a triumphant smile on his lips.

"You've been tricked. Freeze it for me."

As if declaring the outcome of the match, numerous icicles shot out from around Atobe.

When all the icicles were planted in the opposite half of the court, Atobe hit the tennis ball with his racket.

"You just... said someone fell for it."

"What!?"

Frozen in place, Ochi Moonlight looked at Atobe, and only after hearing his words did Atobe react.

Just now, Yukimura's attention was on Ochi Moonlight.

Atobe, however, was in ambush and didn't pay any attention to Mori Juzaburo's movements.

It wasn't until Atobe hit the ball that he realized he had made a mistake.

Just like Atobe Yukimura's plan, Mori Juzaburo also instinctively came behind Ochi Moonlight.

He only revealed himself when Atobe's ball arrived.

Bang!

"First String scores, 40:0"

"Your plan doesn't seem to be working very well."

Having secured the match point, Ochi Moonlight looked at Atobe.

After that incident, Atobe briefly forgot that he shouldn't look Ochi Moonlight in the eye.

Thus, the Mental Assassination was launched again, and Atobe fell for it once more.

He felt as if he had been struck by a force once again, and Atobe, looked as pale as a frost-covered eggplant.

"Is it really over? High school students are definitely stronger than middle school students after all..."

Yukimura noticed the fluctuations in spiritual energy in the air just now.

After confirming that Atobe Yukimura been infected again, Yukimura's competitive spirit for the match diminished.

Puff...

"Mistake"

Puff...

"Two players made a mistake, the First String scored, the score is 6:5."

"They're doomed. This has become their match point."

"From a 3-1 lead to being overtaken by their opponent, although so much time has passed, the difficulty involved doesn't seem that great for the two high school students."

"I think the outcome of this match is already decided. That tall guy's serve is practically a sure thing for him."

Bang!

"The First String scores, making the score 7:5, and the First String wins."

The score was 2-0, with the First String team emerging victorious in the first round of the junior high First String reshuffle match.

The high school students won the first round of the match, as declared by the referee.

Despite the presence of two top-tier junior high school students, Atobe and Yukimura, the junior high school students still lost the match.

This was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the junior high school students, and the students on the sidelines fell silent for a moment.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

Did I overuse my joint while sleeping...?

On the field, after the game ended, Mori Juzaburo also woke up from his sleep.

But when he woke up, he felt not the joy of victory, but the pain caused by the side effects of using the self-dislocation technique.

"No matter what, we still lost, but next time I'll take it all back with interest."

Looking up at Ochi Moonlight, who still had a cold expression, Atobe's tone was very displeased.

"To be able to dislocate my shoulder like this even after I'm asleep, you guys are really strong. I hope we can fight again next time!"

Ochi Moonlight was not talkative, but Mori Juzaburo was very enthusiastic beside him.

Clutching his right arm, he praised Atobe and Yukimura before returning to the sidelines with Ochi Moonlight.

"Next up is the second round of the U-17 team vs. junior high school students reshuffle battle. The U-17 team is sending out Duke Watanabe."

"Let me handle this one. Let's have a duel between men."

Shortly after the first round ended, another announcement came over the loudspeaker.

Seeing Duke's burly figure stand up on the other side of the First String, Ishida Gin followed closely behind.

Because Kabaji and Kawamura, both power-type fighters, defeated the second-string players, he, being a power-type fighter himself, naturally wouldn't let Duke off the hook.

Seeing the power emanating from Duke, the other middle school students naturally wouldn't compete with Ishida Gin for the prize.

Are you the strongest among junior high school students?

I don't know if I'm first, but I'm definitely second among junior high school students.

Standing at the net, after hearing Duke's words, Ishida Gin wasn't entirely sure about his ranking.

Because he couldn't be sure if he could surpass Horio in strength, even though he was much more muscular than Horio.

"Then I'll just have to make do."

Ishida Gin's words did not disappoint Duke, because for Duke, no matter how powerful Ishida Gin was, he would not pose any threat to him.

"The match begins, with junior high student Ishida serving."

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Ishida Gin tensed up his arms.

"First Style Wave Ball!"

Ishida Gin tossed the ball up and used the Wave Ball right from the start.

The tennis ball flew towards Duke with a strong shockwave, but Duke remained calm upon seeing it.

Then, turn your body to the side and swing your racket to hit the Wave Ball.

Bang!

"First String scores, 15:0"

Ishida Gin's first Wave Ball had absolutely no effect on Duke; Duke simply swung his racket and returned it.

Furthermore, the force of the returning tennis ball was stronger than Ishida Gin's Wave Ball, and Ishida Gin couldn't react in time and his racket was knocked away.

"Is this all you've got? Your power is far too weak."

After this period of training at the training camp, Ishida Gin's physical strength has also been greatly improved.

Although he originally possessed 108 types of Wave Ball, he could only hit a little over half of them.

But now he can use it freely.

"Since that's the case, then let me show you the power of my complete 108-style Wave Ball."

Upon being mocked by Duke, Ishida Gin's resolute face couldn't help but show a hint of anger.

"Tenth Style Wave Ball!"

From the first ball, which was just the first Wave Ball, to the second ball, Ishida Gin directly increased the power to the tenth style.

The fluctuations on the tennis ball were even more terrifying, a scene that moved even the other First String players.

"That level of gravity serve is quite impressive for a middle school student. Perhaps with a few more years of training in high school, he could really become a world-class player like Duke."

"Even if he has that potential, so what? He's no match for Duke right now. This game isn't even as suspenseful as the last one."

Hearing Kimijima Ikuto's evaluation of Ishida Gin, Tono Atsukyo was quite disdainful.

As Tono Atsukyo said, although Ishida Gin's Tenth Wave Ball was powerful, Duke did not react in any special way, just like with the first ball.

He swung the racket as if facing a normal serve.

Bang!

"They were driven back!"

"Damn it, even the Tenth Style Wave Ball can't make a difference to the opponent."

"Is he really that much stronger than Ishida!?"

Seeing that Ishida Gin's attack had failed, the middle school students who knew him were horrified.

"The tenth move isn't working on you either, so let me make it a bit more difficult for you."
