Seamless Limit
Bang!
"First String scores, score 5-0"
"The fire of your heart has burned out too, you've lost again, Kintaro."
With the score at 5-0, Kintaro had no chance to continue.
Under the watchful gaze of the demon, Kintaro finally collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on any longer.
"Is it over here? This isn't like Xiao Jin..."
Seeing Kintaro lying on the ground as if he had lost consciousness, Shiraishi, who had only been worried about Kintaro before, now felt a little unwilling.
"Well done, Tooyama Kintaro, keep climbing!"
Before the net, after saying his last words to Kintaro, Oni turned to leave.
Just then, as he turned around, he heard Kintaro's voice.
"Let the excitement subside, let the heartbeat calm down; my heart is pounding and telling its story."
"Little Jin..."
"I didn't expect there to be any surprises waiting for me; this match was absolutely fantastic."
Upon hearing Kintaro's words, Chitose and Horio were watching from the sidelines, felt a familiar power.
"This is so interesting, it's absolutely so interesting!"
That's why I can't stop!
Although Kintaro was panting heavily, his smile was one of extreme excitement.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kintaro's expression suddenly changed, and then a beam of light suddenly appeared on his body.
"This... this guy."
"What's wrong!? What happened?"
The ghost illuminated by the light saw a familiar scene and its expression changed. The middle school students outside the arena were also shocked as they watched Kintaro.
"Xiao Jin, have you finally reached the pinnacle of Heavenly Clothes Seamless?"
"Come on, let's see how far you can push this ghost."
Off the field, Chitose and Horio, who had already sensed the power of selflessness, were both very satisfied to see Kintaro gradually being filled with the power of the Heavenly Clothes Seamless.
When the light faded, a thin layer of light remained on Kintaro's body, with some spots still shimmering.
Kintaro's hair stood up due to the Heavenly Clothes Seamless power, making him look exactly like a Super Saiyan.
As Kintaro tossed the ball up, Oni immediately got ready to catch it.
However, the power of the Heavenly Clothes Seamless was too strong, and this was the first time Kintaro had activated it.
So when Kintaro swung his racket and hit the ball, before the ghost could even react, the tennis ball had already landed and scored a point.
Bang!
"Junior high school students score, 15:0"
"The Seamless Limit, I've always believed that if it were Xiao Jin, he would definitely be able to open that door."
"I can even feel the pure, heartfelt enjoyment of tennis."
Seeing Kintaro reach the legendary level, both Chitose, who had already unleashed his Radiant Talent, and Shiraishi, the tennis bible, were overjoyed for this super rookie from Shitenhoji.
Bang!
"Junior high school students score, 30:0"
"That middle school student actually awakened that power too."
Tokugawa also appeared where Horio and Irie were standing outside the arena.
Upon seeing the familiar power emanating from Kintaro, Tokugawa's expression changed.
"Although that power wasn't as strong as Horio's, it was enough to catch a demon off guard. Is the legendary Heavenly Clothes Seamless really that powerful?"
The power of Heavenly Clothes Seamless demonstrated by Horio when he first came to the training camp.
Moreover, he defeated a group of elite high school students with his Heavenly Clothes Seamless, so Irie has always been very curious about the most mysterious level of this power of selflessness.
"Uncle Ghost, it'll be so boring if we don't fight."
"Hmph, you're right."
On the field, Kintaro looked at the Oni opposite him with a smile.
Upon hearing Kintaro's words, the demon revealed a slight smile.
Bang!
"First String scores, 15:30"
Facing Kintaro's third shot, Oni easily jumped up and returned the ball.
"They fought back!?"
"Doesn't even the Heavenly Clothes Seamless work on him?!"
"How so?"
"No... Xiao Jin, he's smiling."
While the middle school students outside were worried about Kintaro, only Chitose noticed his unusual behavior.
"Uncle Ghost, I'm so excited my scalp is tingling! It's so awesome!"
"Tooyama Kintaro, you really are an incredible guy."
It's my honor to have the opportunity to compete with you, thank you.
On the field, Kintaro felt the increased intensity of the match, and with the newfound power, he became even more passionate.
"No... this feeling is..."
"What's going on with this match? There's actually a surprise in it."
At that moment, Horio and Chitose, who had just noticed Kintaro's unusual behavior, felt a sense of familiarity again.
"Although your strength is not as great as that person's, it is enough for me to take you seriously."
So let's enjoy the game from now on.
Oni raised his fist, and the moment he clenched it toward Kintaro, a blue light appeared that was even more dazzling than the light that Kintaro emitted when he activated the Heavenly Clothes Seamless.
"Ghost... Brother Ghost has also activated the Heavenly Clothes Seamless!?"
"And it seems even stronger than Kintaro's..."
Seeing the light emanating from the demon, Momoshiro and the others felt a weight lift from their shoulders once more.
"I never expected that a truly awakened demon would also reach that realm. It seems his strength has increased dramatically again."
"With the Asura Divine Path and the power of selflessness, even if the demons can't defeat Byodoin now, they won't be defeated by Byodoin either."
Sensing the Heavenly Clothes Seamless that the demon had activated, Horio hadn't expected that the demon could reach this level on its first activation.
"Demon... I wonder how powerful you've become now. I really look forward to another match with you..."
The demons' outburst made Byodoin feel threatened and in danger, but his innate desire for power made him even more eager to fight the demons.
"I'm going to go for it, you old ghost, I won't hold back."
"Of course!"
On the field, the match between Oni and Kintaro continues.
The intensity of their fight increased until the pace became so fast that it exceeded the visual tolerance of the audience.
"Brother Gui... he's been used to Heavenly Clothes Seamless from the very beginning."
"No... I think he was inspired by the battle with Toyama."
"I've regained the power I'd forgotten, and the goals I once had."
Momoshiro subconsciously felt that the demon's ability to skillfully wield the power of Heavenly Clothes Seamless meant that the demon had already opened the third door to this state of State of Selflessness.
However, Fuji was standing to the side, saw it more clearly, since he himself had had a similar experience.
"So it was inspired by Kintaro. I think he also competed against Momoshiro before."
"That was at most just an encouragement match."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't drag me into this."
"Anyway, that boy's expression was quite interesting."
Kintaro inspired the demon, which made Shiraishi very proud.
Thinking back to the previous competition between Momoshiro and Oni, Shiraishi felt even more proud.
At this moment, Oshitari Kenya, who was also a member of Shitenhoji, Oshitari Kenya spoke up to tease Momoshiro, which made Momoshiro feel a little embarrassed.
Only Yukimura, observing Kintaro's smile, seemed to envy this pure enjoyment of tennis.
Bang!
"The First String scores, making the score 6-1, and the First String wins."
With a total score of 2-0, the First String emerged victorious in the fourth round of the reshuffling battle between the First String and the junior high school students.
After several rounds of Heavenly Clothes Seamless play between the two players, Oni ultimately emerged victorious.
Of the four rounds of matches that have concluded, the junior high school team has only won one.
"Huh!? Is it over already?"
I wanted to keep playing, it's such a pity!
Upon hearing the referee announce the end of the match, Kintaro, who had been thoroughly enjoying the game, was momentarily unable to accept it.
He rested his hands on his knees, his tone filled with regret.
The middle school students in the audience burst into laughter at Kintaro's embarrassing situation.
"Uncle Ghost, let's continue the game after the shuffling is over!"
It's such a shame to end it like this; I'm not satisfied."
"Tooyama Kintaro, keep climbing, and one day you'll surpass me."
The demon ignored Kintaro's persistent entreaties.
Instead, she encouraged Kintaro again, and seeing the smile on the demon's face, Kintaro smiled back.
And so, after the two of them left the net, they put away the Heavenly Clothes Seamless together.
"Useless! Even with that 'Heavenly Clothes Seamless' activated, they still haven't defeated that guy."
On the sidelines, Akutsu watched Oni and Kintaro walk off the field, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"I'll take one spot for this next match; you guys can try to grab the other one yourselves."
Akutsu may have had his chance to play stolen by Kintaro, as he secured a spot before the fifth round even began after the fourth.
Regardless of what others thought, Akutsu grabbed his racket and went onto the court.
"In that case, I'll take the last spot."
After Akutsu got up and walked onto the field, Sanada also stood up.
Seeing that it was Sanada, the others had no objections.
Firstly, Sanada's skill level certainly qualified him to play, and secondly, they didn't really want to team up with Akutsu for doubles.
And so, before the fifth round even began, the junior high school students had already decided on their lineup.
"Oh? It seems the junior high students are quite confident; they've already sent their representatives before we even decided on who would represent them."
"But at this point, what personnel arrangements can we make? All that's left are Byodoin, Tanegashima, Kiriya, and Omagari."
Seeing Akutsu and Sanada already waiting on the field, Mori Juzaburo and Kiriya of the First String were somewhat surprised.
"So, which two people should be the next to deal with those two middle school students?"
"Tanegashima, it's your turn to shine. Let me see how much you've improved in training camp."
Upon hearing what Kiriya said, Byodoin immediately requested Tanegashima.
"Well, I didn't expect to have to play, so I guess I'll have to do it reluctantly."
But who should I choose to go with...? Ryuji, you'll go with me.
"Alright, since it was your request, I have no choice but to agree."
Tanegashima, who had been called out by Byodoin, stretched and lazily looked at Ohmeguro Ryuji, who was sitting at the back.
Ohmeguro Ryuji also stood up lazily, picked up his racket, and followed Tanegashima onto the court.
