Chapter 115: Lying Flat? No, the Possibility of Autonomous Training

Kurobe asked humbly: "Then how do you think it should be improved?"

Takahashi hurriedly said: "Improve? I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. After all, those are the results of long-term investigation and research by internationally renowned experts."

"As a mere junior high school student, I dare not question these experts."

"However, I feel that for some players, they could be allowed to manage their own training volume."

Kurobe repeated Takahashi's words, saying: "Manage it yourself?"

Takahashi smiled mysteriously and said: "Yes. Take myself as an example. I have been in the Training Camp for several days, and I am able to complete all the training on time and in full, but I feel that this training has extremely limited benefits for improving my strength."

"On the contrary, I have a set of training routines that are very suitable for me. Through this set of training of my own, I can continuously improve and touch the gates of the Asura Divine Path."

"Look, is it possible to give a small number of people some special treatment and let them decide their own training volume? Of course, most people cannot do this and still need the scientific and reasonable methods of the Training Camp."

Looking at the smile on Takahashi's face, Kurobe felt something was a bit strange.

But the fact that Takahashi could open the Asura Divine Path at the age of a first-year junior high student was an ironclad, indisputable fact.

Kurobe felt a bit lost.

"I have to discuss this matter with the Head Coach."

Kurobe finally said.

Seeing Kurobe's words gradually softening, Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt as if he saw a beautiful tomorrow beckoning to him.

As for how the Asura Divine Path was opened.

Takahashi had indeed never lost a match so far, not even a single small game.

Let alone multiple tragic defeats.

But just because Takahashi had never failed did not mean the Idle Character had never failed.

From the moment the Idle Character started practicing the Serve, it experienced countless failures.

Moreover, the training was 24 hours a day, racing against time without interruption, for as long as half a year.

There was not a single second of rest; it was all spent grinding tennis techniques.

During this period, it experienced countless failures and setbacks.

If the resentment of the Idle Character could be materialized, Takahashi's entire 10-meter radius would likely be filled with the Idle Character's resentment.

So Takahashi understood very well that with the Idle Character's training intensity and time, it was simply impossible to derive happiness from tennis.

He could not play happy tennis like Echizen Ryoma.

The Idle Character would never allow it.

However, the Idle Character did touch upon the other realm, the Asura Divine Path, very quickly.

After all, the Idle Character practiced tennis regardless of life or death.

To the Idle Character, wasn't this a living hell?

It had lived in hell for many years, so opening the Asura Divine Path was a logical outcome.

However, it was true that one must battle against World Level experts to successfully trigger Takahashi's own Other-dimensional Domain technique.

Although Takahashi had already stepped into the threshold of the World Level before and learned the Light Strike, he did not have a profound understanding of the Asura Divine Path.

The battle with Tokugawa made Takahashi instantly understand the exquisite nature of the Other-dimensional Domain.

Because of his own massive accumulation, Takahashi was able to develop the Absolute Equilibrium technique in an instant.

He was also able to have an epiphany on how to develop his own Other-dimensional Domain technique within the Asura Divine Path.

An epiphany, it really could be described as an epiphany!

The moment Tokugawa used the Black Hole, Takahashi felt as if he had been enlightened, and many thoughts instantly flooded into his brain.

In today's battle with Oni Jujiro, Takahashi saw the phantom of the Ghost God, and inspiration instantly burst forth in his mind.

That was Taotie, one of the four great fierce beasts in the Dragon Kingdom's mythology and legends that he knew of in his past life.

Subsequently, Takahashi put this idea into practice, and it was indeed a success.

It was just that Takahashi was using an Other-dimensional Domain technique for the first time, so he could not use it freely yet; he used a bit too much force, causing Oni to be stimulated and faint, unable to fight again, thus successfully winning this match.

……

At night.

In the Monitoring Room.

"Hey, is that Kurobe? When will that junior high student be sent to the Back Mountain? I am very interested in him."

Mifune General Coach's voice came from Kurobe's phone.

"Takahashi might not be able to go to the Back Mountain. The one who lost the match today was Oni."

Kurobe said to the phone, while reporting the events of the day to Mifune one by one.

"What? Asura Divine Path? Taotie?"

Mifune's incredibly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

Kurobe couldn't help but move the phone away from his ear, waiting for Mifune to calm down before continuing to report the match situation.

"Finally, there is one more thing. Takahashi feels that the Training Camp's training has little effect on him, and he is applying for autonomous training."

Although Kurobe felt this was ridiculous, Takahashi could step into the Asura Divine Path in his first year of junior high. Unlike Byodoin Houou, Tokugawa Kazuya, and others who opened that door with the help of Coach Mifune.

So he felt that Takahashi's words were credible.

For this reason, he even specifically called the Rikkaidai Tennis Club in the afternoon to communicate with Vice Captain Sanada.

He learned that Takahashi joined the Tennis Club with zero experience and defeated the Vice Captain and Captain in less than half a year, becoming the new generation Captain.

Moreover, Takahashi's training at Rikkai had always been decided by himself, and he did not participate in unified group training.

After this call ended, Kurobe felt even more incredulous.

It had been less than half a year since Takahashi joined the Tennis Club, and he had actually stepped into the Asura Divine Path?

Back then, Byodoin spent a full year in the Back Mountain of the Training Camp following Coach Mifune's training before he could open this gate leading to hell.

Yet Takahashi, without anyone's help, and even without a single defeat, was able to touch that gate on his own.

Kurobe felt as if his worldview, built over more than a decade as a coach, was about to be shattered.

If his worldview is shattered, then let it be! He can piece it back together and keep using it!

But all of the above fully proves that Takahashi is a genius, a peerless genius.

Kurobe knows that geniuses cannot be cultivated in the way of ordinary people; that would extinguish their talent.

So, after much thought, Kurobe finally decided to report this matter to the Head Coach and let him make the decision.

Mifune pondered for a moment and said, "..."

The next morning.

The routine training had just ended when Kurobe found Takahashi at Court 16.

"With your strength, you could completely stay on Court 1, so why do you always stay on Court 16?"

Kurobe asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Court 16 and I have a bond."

Takahashi answered with a straight face.

"Besides, the strength of Oni Jujiro is far above that of Tokugawa Kazuya, doesn't he also stay on Court 5?"

Takahashi asked in return.

Kurobe had black lines on his face and said, "Then you just stay on Court 16! You really don't learn anything good, only learning bad habits every day."

"Back to the point, I have conveyed your wish for independent training to the Head Coach."

"The Head Coach said he wants to conduct an assessment of you to see if you have the ability for independent training; if you pass the assessment, then your training will be up to you from now on, and our coaching staff will not interfere."

"The content of the assessment is to defeat Tanegashima Shuji, and you are not allowed to use your dimensional phantom—Taotie."
