Chapter 60: Kirihara's Biggest Problem

"Light Strike?"

Kirihara repeated loudly.

"It really is descriptive; the entire tennis ball is covered in golden light!"

"The power is also truly astonishing! To think it could smash a pit into the solid concrete ground."

Takahashi interrupted Kirihara, saying: "No, this is not yet the final form of the Light Strike."

The final form of the Light Strike has power even greater than today's!

Takahashi added silently in his heart.

After the battle with Yukimura, Takahashi had already touched the edge of World Level strength.

He had gained some understanding of the Super Sweet Spot.

But he could not yet apply it with ease.

To hit this Light Strike, the most important thing is to find three areas.

Namely, the area on the tennis racket that first makes contact with the ball, the area on the racket that can exert the greatest power with the least amount of force, and the area on the racket that causes the least damage to the arm when receiving a ball.

When these three areas are made to overlap into one, the tennis ball hit from this area is a Light Strike.

Currently, Takahashi can only make these three areas overlap to some extent, but there are still parts that do not align.

Plus, just now, in order to control the landing position of the ball so as not to truly injure Kirihara and the other, Takahashi had weakened the power on the ball.

Therefore, the Light Strike just now was not the complete version.

The power of the complete version will be even greater and more terrifying.

Of course, to hit the complete version of the Light Strike, his strength still needs to continue to improve!

The "revolution" has not yet ended, the Idle Character still needs to work hard!

When Kirihara heard that this was not yet the final version of the Light Strike, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

This master is just too terrifying!

He has only been in contact with tennis for how long, yet he can hit a tennis ball with such destructive power.

And he actually said this isn't the final form.

It's too outrageous!

He has studied tennis for so many years, and at most, he can only control the ball to hit a person's body.

He thought his way of playing tennis was already very violent, but the tennis ball the master hit smashed a pit into the ground.

If a ball like that hit a person, would that person even have their life left?

Even if they were still alive, they would be severely injured!

Compared to the master's violent tennis, his own bit of violence is simply a drop in the bucket!

I don't know how far the master's strength exceeds that of the Three Giants.

To be able to take him as a master, I am truly clever!

This is truly the wisest decision he has ever made!

"Master, then look, if I practice hard, how many years will it take for me to hit a ball like this?"

Kirihara asked full of hope.

Takahashi turned his head and glanced at Kirihara.

Turning his head back, he said indifferently:

"The Light Strike is not your current goal."

"Do you know what your biggest problem is right now?"

Kirihara was stunned and said: "Biggest problem? Do I have any problems?"

This sentence really confused Kirihara.

Although Kirihara's strength at Rikkai cannot compare to the Three Giants, compared to others, he is still a cut above.

Especially among the second-years, he is the most dazzling existence.

Otherwise, how could he have become the ace of the second-years and been noticed by the Three Giants!

But since the master said so, there must be his reasons.

Could it be that there is really some major problem with the tennis he plays?

Kirihara looked at Takahashi with a face full of confusion and anticipation.

Takahashi took out his phone, checked the time, and said to Kirihara:

"I remember that the Regular Members have a high-tech practice room specifically for tennis."

"Tomorrow morning, I will wait for you there!"

Why tomorrow?

Kirihara really wanted to ask, but the words reached his lips, and he held them back in time.

He thought about it again.

The master first pointed out that he had a problem, and instead of giving him the answer directly, he let him use his own brain to think.

The master must hope that he can find the problem himself.

If he really can't find it, the master will then step in to tell him.

He must not let down the master's painstaking efforts!

"I understand!"

Kirihara replied, feigning depth.

Takahashi glanced at him suspiciously.

But there was still half an hour before the anime was set to air.

Takahashi was very anxious; he had no time to ponder Kirihara's words and left straight away.

……

The next day.

Rikkaidai Tennis Club.

Takahashi arrived at the office with his backpack on his back.

He saw that Kirihara was already waiting outside the office, holding breakfast and a drink in his hands as usual.

Takahashi took the breakfast handed over by Kirihara and enjoyed it very much.

Having a lackey following him around, those days were truly great!

This is what you call living!

After finishing breakfast, the two of them arrived at the training room.

This was a special training room, allowed only for use by Rikkaidai Tennis Club Regular Members, and it was equipped with various high-tech training devices inside.

As soon as he walked into the training room, Kirihara couldn't wait to ask Takahashi: "Master, you said I have a problem. I thought about it and pondered it repeatedly at home last night, but I couldn't find the problem."

Takahashi walked to one side of the indoor tennis Court, picked up a tennis racket, and said to Kirihara: "You, hit a ball here!"

Kirihara looked in the direction where Takahashi was; it turned out that the screen on the left side of this tennis court could reflect the speed of the tennis ball in real time.

Not understanding the Master's meaning, Kirihara still did as he was told.

"Bang!"

The screen also displayed the value: 185km/h.

As a second-year student, being able to hit a ball at such a speed, Kirihara was very satisfied with his performance.

However, Takahashi shook his head.

He was seen holding the tennis racket in his hand and tossing the tennis ball into the air.

"Bang!"

"Snap!"

The sound of the tennis ball leaving the racket, and the sound of the tennis ball landing.

The two sounds rang out almost simultaneously, without distinction of order.

Kirihara looked at the number on the screen in shock.

230km/h!!!

He rubbed his eyes, afraid that he had seen it wrong.

He looked again, and it was still this number.

"This..."

Kirihara was so surprised he didn't know what to say.

He knew the Master was very formidable, but he didn't expect the Master to be this formidable!

No, "formidable" couldn't even describe it!

A monster!

A freak!

"Your limit is also more than 185km/h; in your Demon State, you should also have a Serve speed of around 195km/h."

Takahashi put down the tennis racket in his hand and said to Kirihara.

"Yes, Master!"

"Master, your eye for detail is truly good; your accuracy is almost catching up to Yanagi Renji, who specializes in collecting data."

Kirihara exclaimed in admiration.

"This is your problem."

Takahashi looked at Kirihara and said.

"What do you mean?"

The sudden turn in the topic made Kirihara feel a bit at a loss.

"Since you can hit a ball speed of around 195km/h, why is it only 185km/h at the start?"

Takahashi said.

"Upon entering the Demon State, my power and speed both increase significantly!"

Kirihara replied.

"But in the Demon State, your physical stamina is consumed more, your endurance is worse, and your spirit is manic and irritable; you are staying on the edge of losing self-control."

Takahashi said.

"Right."

Kirihara was greatly shocked inside; how long had Takahashi been with him, yet he could see the weaknesses of himself in the Demonization state at a glance.

"You know that your strength will increase significantly after Demonization, so you have gradually and unconsciously become dependent on your Demonization."

"Akutsu is not hard to deal with, yet you stubbornly dragged it out until after you Demonized to be able to defeat the opponent!"

"This is your biggest problem!"

Takahashi said calmly.
