The Pirate Ship on the Sea
"This is Byodoin- Otherworld Domain, the pirate ship that conquered the sea."
"Tokugawa's power has been completely suppressed, this is terrible."
Off-site, Byodoin's release of Otherworld Domain made Oni and Irie feel very uneasy.
"Just wait to be destroyed, Tokugawa."
Byodoin finished speaking, he swung his bat and unleashed destruction.
In the Otherworld Domain, destruction is amplified to an even greater extent.
While aboard the pirate ship, Tokugawa was subjected to a relentless attack from World Pirate, Tokugawa could only manage to dodge these attacks with great difficulty.
However, the pirates' attack was too fierce, and eventually, they seized an opening in his back and pierced Tokugawa's body with a sword.
Bang!
Byodoin Score, 15:0
As Tokugawa was stabbed through the body by the pirate, the tennis ball landed and scored a point.
Along with it, Tokugawa's body flew out and fell to the ground.
"Tokugawa, you are indeed very strong, so I must eliminate you."
Tokugawa, the world is a vast place.
Bang!
"Byodoin score, 30:0"
Bang!
Byodoin score: 40-0
Bang!
"Byodoin scores, score 2-1"
After four goals, Tokugawa on the pirate ship was unable to stand up due to the pirates' continuous attacks.
Blood had appeared at the corner of his mouth from the continuous attacks.
"Is this the challenge you risked your life for? It's no different from a year ago."
Looking at Tokugawa lying on the ground, Byodoin's smile had vanished.
After saying this, Byodoin returned to his seat.
Tokugawa also struggled to his feet and managed to serve.
And so, for Tokugawa, even more tragic events were yet to come.
"American Pirates!"
Bang!
"Byodoin scores, score 3-1"
"Spanish Bullfight!"
Bang!
"Byodoin scores, score 4-1"
"Egyptian Phoenix!"
Bang!
"Byodoin scores, score 5-1"
"Wake up! This isn't the time for you to lose consciousness."
When Byodoin scored the fifth point, Byodoin dispelled the Otherworld Domain.
Standing in front of the net, Byodoin looked at Tokugawa, who was lying on the ground with his eyes rolling back, and spoke coldly.
"Hey! Isn't he almost at his limit?!"
"This is already torture, why continue!"
"How ruthless! Was it really necessary to go this far?"
Off the court, the middle school students watching felt sorry for Tokugawa after the three games that had just ended.
At this moment, Atobe appeared in the First String's camp at some unknown time and questioned the situation on the field.
Two years ago, he developed an unusual obsession with victory after a crushing defeat.
To prevent his opponent from getting up, he would humiliate him, shattering his confidence and self-esteem, ultimately forcing him to submit.
This is his Overlord Tennis —a style of tennis that's hard to fight back against once you lose.
"I heard that he used this kind of tennis ball to beat all the foreign players in the world, and those who lost were so desperate that they eventually gave up tennis."
Kimijima Ikuto made no attempt to hide anything from Atobe's questioning.
Moreover, Tanegashima, who was standing nearby, was clearly aware of these matters, so he was quite used to Byodoin's actions.
"Of all those I have defeated, you are the only one who will come back for revenge."
But this isn't a compliment; it's just that I think you're very lucky.
Back then, Oni and Irie saved you, and I didn't completely destroy your heart, which is why I gave you the opportunity for revenge.
But things are different now. If they interfere in this match again, I will destroy them all.
Tokugawa gritted his teeth and propped up his already battered body, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Byodoin.
Tokugawa!
"Don't want!"
At this moment, Oni and Irie the stands had already climbed over the low wall. Seeing that the two were about to enter the stadium, Tokugawa quickly spoke up to stop them.
"The match... is not over yet..."
"You better keep your word, because don't expect to get away unscathed like last time before I send you to hell."
Seeing Tokugawa's unyielding demeanor, Byodoin, though verbally rude, harbored other thoughts.
Tokugawa's power has now reached the realm of another dimension, so Byodoin felt a little pity for Tokugawa.
But Tokugawa's current insistence on sticking to his principles put Byodoin in an awkward position. As the leader of the team, how could Byodoin possibly want to lose face?
Turning back to the baseline, Byodoin used a regular serve to minimize the impact on Tokugawa.
Compared to Light Ball Shot, it's clearly not that serious.
However, even a regular serve from Byodoin is destined to be powerful.
Even though Byodoin's target wasn't Tokugawa was still affected by Byodoin's serve.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
"Byodoin scores, score 6:1, Byodoin wins, overall score 1:1"
Tokugawa!
"Call the medical team immediately!"
Byodoin scored a point with his serve, Tokugawa finally collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.
At this moment, Oni and Irie could no longer hold back and rushed in to hug him. Looking at Tokugawa, who had already lost consciousness, Oni anxiously called for the medical team.
"This man is indeed very strong, but for a tennis player, he is too gentle."
That's why I wanted to test him last night. Although I didn't expect things to go wrong, it turns out that being too gentle is his fatal flaw.
Looking at Tokugawa lying on the ground being examined by the medical team, Byodoin unconsciously moved his arm.
He was clearly thinking about what happened last night, and what the others didn't know was...
At this Byodoin, Byodoin's arm was already aching from Tokugawa's earlier outburst.
"How is he? Is his condition okay?"
On the court, Horio walked over at that moment.
Looking at Tokugawa, whose lips were still wet with blood, Horio turned his gaze to the medical team members who were examining Tokugawa.
"The situation is not good; he needs to go to the treatment room now."
"Then let's do as you say and take him to the treatment room."
After examining Tokugawa, the medical staff gave him their advice.
Without any hesitation, the demon immediately ordered the demon to take Tokugawa away.
"No... it's not over yet..."
Just as the medical staff were preparing to lift Tokugawa onto the stretcher, Tokugawa suddenly woke up.
"Tokugawa, the current situation no longer allows you to continue..."
"It's alright! I've already said I've staked my life on this match."
The guy I'd rather die to defeat is right in front of me now, and I'm not going to let this end here.
A strong will enabled Tokugawa to stand up again and walk to the bottom line on his own.
"Give me your all; this is the beginning of your evolutionary journey."
Seeing that Tokugawa insisted on continuing, Horio did not try to dissuade him.
He turned to look at Byodoin, his pupils turning purple-gold.
With the Radiant Talent, which also possessed the Eye of Shattering Delusions, Horio noticed the abnormality in Byodoin's arm.
After glancing at Tokugawa again, Horio already had a picture in his mind of the battle between the two.
"Let's go, let him complete his mission."
Even if you try to stop them, it's useless; this match is their destiny battle.
Having seen all this clearly, Horio spoke to the hesitant Oni and Irie, as well as the somewhat bewildered medical staff.
Upon hearing Horio's words, Oni and Irie hesitated for a moment before walking off the court with grim expressions.
Seeing this, the medical staff carried the stretcher away, and the match resumed.
"Just a little longer... just a little longer, and I'll succeed..."
At the baseline, Tokugawa struggled to retrieve a tennis ball.
"This is ridiculous... I've already given it my all just by standing up..."
He said he would fight to the death to defeat him; we all know his personality.
So all we can do is witness it to the end, no matter the outcome. That's all we can do.
On the sidelines, Irie, walking off the field, couldn't help but feel worried as she looked at Tokugawa, who seemed on the verge of collapsing.
Although the demon beside him was similar to Irie, his tough-guy style allowed him to sense Tokugawa's unwavering resolve.
"You could have just fallen down in an ugly way like you did just now, but instead you had to get up."
"I've already said it, I'll give my life in this battle!"
On the field, Byodoin looked at the wounded Tokugawa opposite him with a very serious expression.
However, Tokugawa seemed to be allergic to anything Byodoin said; despite his initial weakness, he managed to serve out of sheer anger.
"Fine, then I'll make you completely unusable."
Seeing that Tokugawa still had the strength to hit a shot that was beyond normal, Byodoin swung his racket back without hesitation.
Bang!
Byodoin Score, 15:0
Even Byodoin's ordinary return was too much for Tokugawa to handle; the racket he swung with all his might was knocked away the instant it touched the tennis ball.
Tokugawa remained silent, picked up his racket, and delivered a weak and feeble serve.
Byodoin swung his racket to return the shot, but this time Tokugawa gripped the racket with both hands.
Although the tennis ball didn't fly away after contacting the racket, the situation wasn't much better.
Tokugawa's hands were trembling, and his clenched teeth testified to his helplessness.
Bang!
"Byodoin score, 30:0"
Although Tokugawa's racket wasn't immediately knocked away after he used both hands, it only lasted a few seconds.
Ultimately, the racket held in both hands was knocked away, and Tokugawa's body fell backward.
The field was filled with dust, burying the fallen Tokugawa.
"Is it over...?"
"Perhaps this is the best ending."
On the sidelines, Oni and Irie were in no hurry to go on the field.
After Tokugawa fell again, the two only hoped that the match would end there.
But things didn't go as the two of them wished. Coughing sounds came from the smoke and dust as Tokugawa staggered back to the bottom line.
Bang!
Byodoin score: 40-0
"Is this the skill level of a world-class player...? Completely different from the high school students I've seen before."
"The damage was indeed too great..."
"If this continues, Tokugawa -kun's life will be in danger."
Compared to the previous shot, this time Tokugawa was hit so hard he slammed into the wall at the edge of the court.
