Particle Light Storm

"Hey, I'm about to serve. Are you still going to stand there and daydream?"

Seeing that Kite's gloomy face was gradually becoming somewhat lost and dejected, Horio said rather rudely.

"Stop talking nonsense, just fight however you want."

Kite had probably given up. Despite being ridiculed, he, who always had a high sense of pride, showed no reaction whatsoever.

He glanced at Horio once, then went to his own spot.

Bang!

"Horio scores, 15:0"

Facing Kite whose concentration had waned, Horio simply used a regular serve.

Even with this ordinary serve, the Kite still couldn't receive it.

Seeing Horio walk to the other side to prepare to serve again, Kite also moved his feet mechanically.

Bang!

Horio scores, score 2-4

Bang!

Horio scores, score 3-4

Bang!

Horio scores, score tied 4-4.

"Kite's confidence has been completely shattered."

"This situation would be difficult for anyone to accept."

"Especially for people like Kite, whose pride is so strong that it borders on obsession, it is very difficult to break through their psychological defenses."

But once the psychological defenses are breached, it's like a flood breaking through a dam—irreversible.

After Horio unleashed the Primordial God, he instantly regained the advantage.

They quickly tied the score, and the Kite completely gave up the fight.

"That's really strange."

As the demoralized Kite prepared to serve from the baseline, Horio suddenly spoke.

Are you really stronger now than last time?

"What do you mean..."

"It doesn't mean anything, I just feel that your performance doesn't match reality."

Even in the last match, you weren't this completely lacking in fighting spirit, not even until the very last moment.

Hearing Horio's questioning, Kite was unwilling, but did not react excessively.

Without giving Horio any further thought, he served a normal serve.

Bang!

"Horio scores, 15:0"

Bang!

"Horio scores, 30:0"

Bang!

"Horio scores, 40:0"

Horio kept hitting the tennis balls back to Kite's feet, but Kite missed them all.

"Cheer up, Eishiro!"

"The game isn't over yet, we can't give up now!"

"Go for it, Captain!"

Off the field, seeing Kite completely dejected, the students from Higa Junior High finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"It's no use, that guy is too strong..."

Hearing his fellow club members cheering him on, Kite wanted to live up to their good intentions, but having lost all confidence, he could only let out a sigh.

Bang!

Horio scores, score 5-4

After breaking Kite's serve again, Horio reached match point.

Moreover, with match point and the serve in hand, the situation was extremely favorable for Horio.

At this point, the Kite didn't even bother to prepare a counterattack; he just stood there, racket hanging at his side.

Seeing Kite's expression, Horio knew he had to use reverse psychology.

After dispersing the primordial spirit, Horio tossed the ball up and hit it against the Kite's racket.

In order to bounce the ball back without knocking it off his Kite racket, Horio demonstrated his perfect ball control.

The tennis ball flew towards the Kite, but after bouncing, the Kite still did not react.

Even though the students from Higa Junior High kept calling his name from the sidelines, he ignored them completely.

But just as he was about to give up, he felt the tennis ball being hit through his racket.

"What!? Horio is aiming at Kite's racket..."

"Are you sure there won't be any problems? Hitting such a provocative ball against Kite who has already lost all fighting spirit."

"Perhaps he's trying to provoke Kite."

"Only in this way can a tennis player with a strong sense of self-esteem be rekindled."

The junior high school students who saw the tennis ball bounce off the Kite had some questions about Horio's actions, but none of them expressed dissatisfaction.

The Kite, feeling the racket, looked at Horio, only to be met with Horio's mocking gaze.

Are you mocking me...? I've already given up, why are you still pressing me?

Kite didn't understand why Horio was doing this, but before he could figure it out, Horio's return shot came again.

The tennis ball bounced in the same spot again, then hit the Kite racket and bounced back.

"Horio! You bastard!"

After being tricked by Horio twice in a row, even the most dejected Kite lost his temper.

However, this time Horio didn't use the same return as before, but instead hit a ball with more power.

Bang!

"Horio scores, 15:0"

"Bastard... I'm going to kill you!"

Having been tricked by Horio three times on the same ball, the usually calm and collected Kite's Killing Intent erupted once again.

Compared to before, this time the Killing Intent has created a whirlwind on the field.

Just like the Tezuka Zone, a gray, Killing Intent enveloped the entire half of the court.

Did it erupt after being provoked?

"Such a powerful aura, even stronger than before."

"That aura gave me goosebumps."

"Great Eishiro! Let's start the comeback!"

The Killing Intent emanating from the Kite made the middle school students gasp, but this familiar scene also brought joy to the students of Higa Junior High.

"It seems that it won't be long before another junior high school student will embark on the Asura Divine Path."

"I really don't know why this year's junior high students are so amazing; they're all so talented."

"And it seems like their talent is much stronger than ours this year..."

On the high school team side, after Irie started, Kimijima Ikuto Kaji Futa also sighed.

"They really are the strongest in Okinawa; the provocation tactic always works so well."

On the field, Horio felt the power emanating from Kite and was quite certain of it.

It wasn't because of its overwhelming power, but because the quality of its Killing Intent was exceptional.

If Kite can successfully enter the Asura Divine Path, he will be able to rise to the top of the junior high school students in a short period of time.

Are you hesitating?

Because of Horio's pause, Kite's Killing Intent words reached Horio's ears.

Kite glanced at Kite, the tennis ball in Horio left hand emitting a purple glow.

After releasing his grip, Horio downwards and struck.

The tennis ball streaked through the air in purple light, then swept across the net and into the Killing Intent's range.

The Ground Shrinking Technique was used, Kite's figure disappeared.

The next second he appeared at the baseline, then struck the tennis ball with a racket radiating a Killing Intent.

The racket hit the tennis ball, unleashing a purple shockwave.

The air currents surged against the Killing Intent, and a scene of purple and gray battling it out appeared on the court, with the racket face as the dividing line.

However, as the Kite exerted its strength, the Killing Intent gradually gained the upper hand.

After neutralizing the purple light on the tennis ball, Kite returned Horio's Light Ball Shot.

"Eishiro sent that glowing ball back!"

"That's so cool, Captain."

Kai and the others cheered after simply hitting the Light Ball Shot.

"Now is not the time for you to be happy."

Horio immediately spoke up to bring them to their senses, and then swung his racket.

The Genesis Aura enveloped the racket, swallowing the Killing Intent emanating from the tennis ball.

The Genesis Aura was infused into the tennis ball, and Horio's return shot Shatter the Kite.

Having experienced the Shatter Kite, he immediately mobilized his Killing Intent, concentrating it on his arm and racket when returning the ball.

The tennis ball once again hurtled into the Killing Intent zone, and the Kite's return shot was already in play.

As the tennis ball was blocked by the racket, the Genesis Aura enveloped the Kite's arm.

At the same time, the Killing Intent gathered on the arm by the Kite began to fight against the Genesis Aura, and the result was predictable.

The overwhelming Killing Intent gathered by the Kite only lasted for less than a second before that familiar pain shot through his arm.

Bang!

"Horio scores, 30:0"

Kite reluctantly let go of his racket, and Horio won another point. The angry Kite suddenly calmed down.

He turned to look at Horio, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"It seems we have no choice but to use that move to have even the slightest chance."

He then picked up his racket and returned to his position, ready to receive the ball.

Without hesitation, Horio unleashed Light Ball Shot.

The tennis ball flew towards the Kite like a shooting star, directly entering the Killing Intent zone.

"That's the ball!"

Big Explosion Fan Shi Qian!

When the Kite shouted "Big Explosion Fan Shi Qian!", everyone in the audience, whether from Higa Junior High or elsewhere, immediately perked up.

As the Light Ball Shot flew towards him again, the muscles in his Kite the racket suddenly tensed.

A gray, Killing Intent swirled around it, almost solidifying into a tangible form.

The Kite swung the ball at the moment the tennis ball bounced off.

The purple light vanished rapidly, and the Kite's Killing Intent enveloped the ball.

Then, as if a small mushroom cloud appeared on the racket, the tennis ball flew out.

The instant the tennis ball left the racket, a gray viper appeared in the air.

Its movement was so elusive that its grey shadow almost covered the entire field.

"Is this the Big Explosion Fan Shi Qian?! I didn't know that combining these two moves would be this powerful."

"Indeed, compared to a standalone Big Bang or Great Fan Shi Qian, this move has undergone a complete qualitative change."

"But to execute this move, Kite's arm will likely be unusable."

Off the field, Atobe felt a chill run down his spine at Kite's all-out attack.

Wherever the tennis ball flew, it was infected by Killing Intent.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was filled with Killing Intent, and it was no longer just the Kite's half of the court.

Even the previously clean and tidy Horio side was now filled with Killing Intent.

"This is what it feels like to be surrounded by Killing Intent. Other middle school students probably wouldn't even have the strength to resist."

At this moment, Horio seemed to be in an environment where he could be killed at any moment. The air around him was filled with Killing Intent, and it subconsciously made people feel that danger was lurking everywhere.

Just then, amidst the overwhelming Killing Intent, a tennis ball suddenly darted out.

Kite's ultimate move finally appeared: a tennis ball aimed directly at Horio's body.

Upon seeing this, Horio twisted his body, and purple lightning appeared on his left hand.

"Be prepared for revenge again, Kite!"

Purple lightning instantly enveloped the tennis ball, and then Horio swung his racket at the ball, which was enveloped in the Genesis Aura.

"Particle Light Storm!"

Horio unleashed his enhanced version of the Light Ball Shot, but he aimed precisely at the foot of Kite.

Whether he catches it or not, the game will end after this ball.
