Chapter 157: Kintaro VS Oni

Inside the Monitoring Room.

Kurobe took a sip of coffee and said, "One really cannot underestimate the strength of this group of middle schoolers; they have already successfully eliminated 30 high schoolers."

"Huh, one of them actually went to challenge Oni?"

Upon hearing this, Saito rubbed his forehead and said, "Among all the middle schoolers, the ones I am most concerned about are the players from Rikkai."

"But except for one who ran off, the rest have all stayed on Court 16."

"Moreover, that group of high schoolers sees Takahashi as the Captain of Rikkai, so they didn't even let the Rikkai team members take the most basic assessment for entering the U17, wasting the effort I spent specifically increasing the difficulty of their assessment."

"They really are a bunch of guys who bully the weak and fear the strong."

"It has resulted in me still being unable to see the true strength of the Rikkai team members even now!"

Upon hearing about Rikkai and Takahashi, Kurobe's eyelid twitched, and he said, "Takahashi is considered a hegemon even among that group of high schoolers!"

"Which high schooler would dare to go and look for trouble with Takahashi now?"

"We can only wait for the random matches to study the strength of the Rikkai group."

Court 5.

The match currently taking place on the court is between Oni Jujiro and Toyama Kintaro.

"It seems Kirihara did not challenge in order."

Yanagi Renji said.

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi turned his head to look and discovered that the group from Rikkai had walked over.

"Kintaro is challenging Court 5."

"Which court have you all challenged up to? Why haven't we seen you?"

Shiraishi asked.

"We are on Court 16."

Yukimura replied.

Shiraishi looked at them with some curiosity.

With the strength of their Shitenhoji, they had been challenging their way up smoothly; the even more powerful Rikkai should be challenging even faster, right!

Why are they all huddled together on the weakest Court 16?

Although he felt very puzzled, Shiraishi did not show it on his face and asked with a smile, "Then why are you here?"

Yukimura said, "To find Kirihara."

Just as they were chatting, the match on the court had also begun.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball turned into a yellow streak of light, flying back and forth in the air.

Kintaro suddenly leaped upward with force, his agile body performing several consecutive somersaults in the air.

"Cosmic Thunderbolt Invincible Big Wheel Mountain Storm!"

Following that, he slammed his racket down hard at the tennis ball!

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the violent sound of the strike, the court even kicked up billowing smoke.

Chitose said, "This is Kintaro's special move; it is even more dangerous than Ishida Gin's One Hundred and Eight Style Wave Ball."

"The high schooler on the other side is likely going to lose."

However.

Just as Chitose finished speaking, Oni ran forward a few steps, swung his racket, and successfully returned the tennis ball.

"This guy! He actually returned it so easily."

Chitose was somewhat surprised.

"His level is completely different from the high schoolers we encountered before."

Oshitari Kenya was somewhat shocked.

"That is a good thing; look at Kintaro's expression, he is enjoying this match."

"Only when facing such a powerful opponent can Kintaro's strength be thoroughly unleashed."

"Sure enough, we didn't come to the wrong place."

Shiraishi said with satisfaction.

"Although Toyama Kintaro's movements look messy and without any method, his style of play is natural and self-contained."

"Not only is his stamina extraordinary, but his senses are also very sharp!"

"His athletic talent is extremely powerful!"

Takahashi could not help but praise.

"That goes without saying; Kintaro can be called the strongest of our Shitenhoji."

Hearing the praise from Rikkai Captain Takahashi, Shiraishi felt very proud.

"Bang!"

Oni leaped with force, pulling his body back to the limit, and swung his arm violently at the tennis ball while holding the racket with both hands.

"Heavyweight Vertical Center of Gravity Jump Shot!"

"Bang!"

The tennis ball headed toward Kintaro, carrying a black-red aura.

The high schoolers on the sidelines were discussing it heatedly.

"Brother Oni once used this move to make our hands go numb."

"If that middle schooler takes this move, his hands will definitely lose all sensation."

However.

Kintaro on the court became increasingly happy and said, "I'm just waiting for your stronger moves."

"Next up is my ultimate move—the Universe Super Invincible Thunderbolt Big Wheel Mountain Storm."

Oni asked, "How is this different from the move just now?"

Kintaro said, "It has the word 'super' added to it."

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a violent sound of hitting the ball, the tennis ball pierced across the court and landed heavily behind Oni.

"Kintaro, well done!"

"Let's take this game in one go!"

Shiraishi encouraged.

"I didn't expect Kintaro to be able to control the rhythm of the match even when facing a high schooler; it's truly remarkable!"

Marui said.

"Not necessarily!"

Takahashi said.

"What?"

Shiraishi and the others were somewhat puzzled.

"Toyama Kintaro's attacks are quite good, but he had to use all his strength just to barely win 1 point."

"Look, Toyama is already drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, but his opponent Oni, although he has also broken a sweat, is still breathing steadily."

"I suspect this high schooler hasn't even unleashed his true strength yet."

Yukimura explained.

Sure enough, Oni on the court spoke up.

"Is your strength only this much? You've disappointed me too much!"

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

The sound of the ball being hit and the sound of the tennis ball landing rang out almost simultaneously.

"This ball, so fast!"

"Even I couldn't react at all!"

Shiraishi's face was filled with shock!

"Bang!"

Oni leaped upward and swung his tennis racket with force.

Seeing Oni in the same posture, Kintaro said, "Is it the Heavyweight Vertical Center of Gravity Jump Shot again?"

Oni said in a deep voice, "It is the Heavyweight Tomahawk Smash!"

Just as Oni's words fell, Kintaro, who was in the air, was struck by the tennis ball.

Both he and his racket were knocked to the ground!

"Since you felt that the previous move didn't have enough weight, then I'll raise it another level to defeat you."

Oni held his tennis racket with both hands, looked at the fallen Kintaro, and said slowly.

"Kintaro!"

Shiraishi called out worriedly.

"Don't worry, Oni controlled his power."

"Although Kintaro fell to the ground, he isn't seriously injured!"

Takahashi said.

"How is this high schooler so powerful? He's completely on a different level from the other high schoolers."

Chitose was somewhat shocked.

As a member of Shitenhoji, he understood Kintaro's innate monstrous strength very well.

He didn't expect that someone could actually crush Kintaro in terms of power.

"You all should have done a little homework before challenging the high schoolers!"

"Oni Jujiro, the undisputed boss of Court 5."

"He is also known as the Gatekeeper of Hell, because as long as he is there, the boss of Court 5 will never change."

"He has also shattered the dreams of those from lower courts wanting to be promoted to Court 5 countless times in team matches and random matches."

Takahashi explained.

"And unfortunately, Oni is also a power-type player. In terms of power, Oni can completely crush Kintaro."

"However, don't worry! Oni hasn't even used half of his own strength in this match yet."

Takahashi continued.

"What? Less than half his strength?"

Shiraishi was very shocked.

"That goes without saying! This group of middle schoolers actually wants to challenge Brother Oni; it's simply overestimating their own capabilities!"

"They have no idea how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!"

"Hahaha!"

Off to the side, two unknown high schoolers began to gloat triumphantly.

Takahashi slanted his eyes and said, "Why are you two slacking off here? Get to training at once!"

Hearing this, the two high schoolers immediately reined in the arrogant smiles on their faces, stood straight, and respectfully said to Takahashi, "Yes! Yes!"

At this moment, Oishi's anxious voice came from afar.

"Students from Rikkai! Something has happened to Kirihara at Court 1! You all need to go take a look!"
