Chapter 180: Takahashi, the Nemesis of Peerless Perfection

On the court.

"The exceptionally complex super-spin on the tennis ball is consuming its kinetic energy to a great extent, which is why the ball cannot clear the net."

"To deal with this move, you only need to neutralize all the spin on the tennis ball."

Watching his partner Oomagari's slightly furrowed brows, Takahashi spoke up to offer a hint.

"Neutralize such complex spin entirely?"

"That kind of thing can only be done by Tanegashima's Mu!"

Oomagari said with some hesitation.

"See the spin on the tennis ball clearly, then apply a completely opposite spin."

Takahashi said.

Seeing the troubled look on Oomagari's face, Takahashi continued:

"You don't have to cancel it out completely; you only need to ensure the spin on the tennis ball doesn't consume all its kinetic energy, allowing the ball to clear the net to score."

The look on Oomagari's face became even uglier, and he said, "Cancel out part of the spin to make the ball clear the net—isn't that even more difficult than canceling it out entirely?"

Takahashi was stunned upon hearing this!

After a pause, Takahashi continued, "This is doubles; if you really can't deal with this move, then target Kintaro for your next attacks!"

Oomagari nodded.

"Boom!"

"Super Invincible Absolutely Delicious Great Wheel Mountain Storm!"

Kintaro shouted while nimbly tumbling in the air.

Oomagari moved to the left and successfully returned the ball at the baseline.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of ball striking, the tennis ball flew back and forth in the air.

"This Kintaro is adapting very quickly; it's only been a few rallies, and he's already able to trade shots with Oomagari for this long."

Irie praised.

Hearing Irie's words, a faint, barely perceptible smile flashed across Oni's face.

"This child Kintaro has quite remarkable talent and potential!"

"He should be the person closest to the limit of Peerless Perfection among the middle schoolers!"

"Hahaha!"

"Uncle with the beard, playing tennis with you is just too fun!"

"Super Million-Ton Fantasy Deluxe Volcanic Eruption Ball!"

Kintaro's excited voice came over.

"Hey, hey, hey! Another Power Ball?"

"Spare me!"

Oomagari's helpless voice rang out.

At the same time, Oomagari's figure moved rapidly to the right, successfully returning the tennis ball to Kintaro's blind spot.

"Thud!"

The heavy sound of the tennis ball reached Fuji's ears.

Can he still perfectly control the trajectory of such a powerful, heavy ball?

Oomagari's defensive ability is truly formidable!

It seems only the Hecatoncheir's Gatekeeper can score perfectly!

I must find a way to make a move; I cannot let the opponent focus only on Kintaro.

However, under Oomagari's exquisite control, Fuji had no chance to return the ball at all.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"1-1!"

"Takahashi and Oomagari pair scores!"

Kintaro suddenly knelt on the ground, gasping for air, with beads of sweat rolling down his face.

At this moment, he was exhausted from constantly tumbling in the air and hitting Power Balls.

Oishi, who was watching the match, saw this scene and said, "This high schooler Oomagari has such great stamina; he actually exhausted Kintaro's stamina first."

Shiraishi looked at Kintaro lying on the ground and said in disbelief, "Is he giving up just like this?"

"That really isn't Kintaro's style."

Oomagari, on the court, twirled the tennis racket in his hands and said, "That's one down! One more to go!"

A low voice came from Kintaro, who was lying on the ground.

"My excitement cannot be calmed, my heartbeat cannot be stilled!"

"The heart in my chest is thumping, it is speaking, it is telling me, it is too fun!"

"Playing tennis is truly too fun, so I simply cannot stop!"

"I truly love the sport of tennis too much!"

When he reached the final sentence, Kintaro's voice gradually rose, and he stood up once again, looking at Oomagari with a firm and fiery gaze.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A dazzling light suddenly erupted outward from Kintaro's body.

This light was so brilliant and eye-catching, like a small sun, that the spectators could not help but raise their hands to cover their eyes.

"This guy..."

Oomagari watched the scene unfolding on Kintaro, dumbfounded.

"What is this? Could it be..."

Oshitari Kenya was almost stunned.

"Kintaro, he has finally opened the Ten-i Muhou no Kiwami!"

Chitose Senri was shocked, with a mix of surprise and gratification.

"I have always firmly believed that Kintaro is the person closest to Peerless Perfection!"

"Enjoying tennis, loving tennis—this most pure emotion has always been deep within Kintaro's heart!"

Shiraishi said excitedly.

On the other side, the 1st String's rest area.

"Toyama Kintaro, what an incredible guy, to actually be able to open the Ten-i Muhou no Kiwami at a time like this."

Irie could not help but exclaim.

"This year's middle schoolers really cannot be underestimated!"

Byodoin, sitting to the side, spoke up, and as he spoke, he cast his gaze toward Oni Jujiro.

On the court.

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

Oomagari stood where he was, while the tennis ball had already landed behind him.

"15-0!"

"Fuji and Kintaro pair scores!"

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

"30-0!"

"Fuji and Kintaro pair scores!"

"Can't reach it?"

"Suppressed by that radiance?"

Takahashi watched Oomagari's clearly slowed movements and muttered to himself.

"Mustache Uncle, if we don't play, the match will be boring!"

Kintaro's bright voice rang out.

"This Serve is a bit troublesome!"

Beads of cold sweat dripped down Oomagari's face.

"Bang!"

"I'm taking back the tennis racket!"

Oomagari only felt the tennis racket in his left hand being snatched away by a force.

Immediately following, "Thud!"

The sound of the tennis ball landing heavily rang out.

Chitose widened his eyes, looking in disbelief at the tennis ball that had landed in the empty space between Fuji and Kintaro.

"Even Kintaro, who is in the Ten-i Muhou no Kiwami, couldn't react in time to this ball?"

Chitose cast his gaze toward Takahashi Yanichi, who had hit this ball.

"Didn't Takahashi just say he wasn't playing anymore?"

"Why did he make a move again!"

Momoshiro was very surprised.

"No, to be precise, what Takahashi said just now was to take a rest."

"After all, this is a doubles match; there is no problem with him making a move to return this ball."

Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses and said.

"Thud!"

"30-30!"

"Takahashi and Oomagari pair scores!"

Just as Inui and Momoshiro were speaking, Takahashi scored directly again by returning the Serve!

"Another return point; does Peerless Perfection have no effect on Takahashi at all?"

Shiraishi exclaimed.

"This scene..."

"This scene is just like a repeat of the Kanto Tournament match against Echizen!"

"It is practically identical!"

Cold sweat kept breaking out on Oishi's forehead.

"For Takahashi, Peerless Perfection is useless."

"Even though Kintaro has increased his strength through Peerless Perfection, this added strength still cannot make up for the gap between him and Takahashi."

Yukimura said indifferently.

"Echizen, Tezuka, plus Kintaro who is on the court right now!"

"Three Peerless Perfections, and yet none of them can do anything to Takahashi!"

"Takahashi is practically the nemesis of Peerless Perfection!"

Atobe concluded.
