"Hey, you're still pretty capable."
"To be able to hit a return shot like that."
Kagami stared at Tachibana who stood up and admired him.
"Pointless struggle"
Midorima took a look at the traces of the landing point and had a different opinion on Tachibana's ball control skills.
He also understood why Atobu valued this person very much.
Obviously, I didn't feel that Ju Juping had any outstanding strength last year.
But now it seems that it is not so useless.
"If you cultivate it."
"I'm afraid it's a little late now."
It is well known that Hyokui has never had a reliable second-in-command.
In the past, Atobe didn't think it was necessary, but that was what he thought when he first entered Hyōtei.
After getting in touch with schools such as Yamabuki, Seigaku, Rikkai University, Shitenhoji Temple, and Teikou, I deeply realized the importance of "talent".
As a last resort, Atobe also wanted to find someone who could take over.
Last year he was able to endure enough, but this year his strength simply cannot catch up.
Hua Di is too direct in playing. Although the style of play he copies is very strong, the upper limit depends on the opponent and the lower limit depends on himself.
Tokugawa's strength meets the conditions, but he can't stay in Hyokui for a long time, so he can't count on it.
Himuro's arrival is an unexpected surprise, but his potential and foundation are still not as good as those of Fuji, Sanada and others.
In other words, Tachibana Juping has the qualifications that Atobe takes a liking to.
I just don’t know how far it can grow.
Through continuous training, Ju Juping has become significantly stronger.
It's a pity that even though he has grown up this year, he still looks too ordinary in front of those monster second-in-commands.
So much so that I wanted to take the last gamble in the showdown with Di Guang in the finals.
See if there can be any transformation.
"Drink!"
Kagami waved his arm and hit the serve, and the turbulent blow flew through the air.
"Aha!"
Tachibana Juping was not afraid, but rushed forward with all his strength, and when the ball bounced, he swung his racket to catch it.
"Uhhhhhh!!"
Wild power continued to explode, and with his arms dangling, he finally hit the serve back.
"The flaws are too obvious."
The way he worked so hard to fight back made his defensive range so obvious.
"Snapped!"
"0-15!"
Himuro looked at the position that was a little far away from the racket, feeling a little reluctant.
Shintaro Midorima's style of play is so amazing that unconventional players simply can't handle it.
"The worst case scenario has occurred, Atobe."
Shinobu stood behind Atobe and said while looking at him whose expression remained unchanged.
"Ah humph, I can't even do this."
"That can only mean nothing more than that."
"What's there to worry about?"
There was no anger or disappointment, but he spoke in an indifferent tone.
His tone seemed arrogant and quibbling, but Renzu knew that he really didn't care.
After all, he had been given opportunities, created places, and attracted people.
We have done enough. If we cannot seize such opportunities, what else can we say?
It is nothing more than a demonstration of "incompetence"
Do you want him, Atobe Keigo, to be the "nanny" so that he can handle everything?
"So, the premise of everything is that they can force out Lord Vulcan's extra-dimensional power."
"With Midorima-kun here, it won't be so easy."
Kuroko did know the difficulties faced by Himuro and Tachibana.
A Vulcan would be fine. If you give it appropriate pressure, you might be able to use it.
But there happens to be a strong Midorima beside him, which will make Kagami feel much less pressure, so that he may not even consider using it.
"boom!!"
"0-30!!"
"boom!"
"0-40!"
"boom!!"
"This round is won by Teiko Kagami and Midorima!"
"score."
"1-4!"
The score is getting wider and wider, and the situation seems to have reached an irreversible point.
"0-15!!"
"0-30!!"
"0-40!!"
"1-5!"
Another game was taken down and the game started to come to an end.
"Everything is over."
Shishido Ryo clenched his fists, knowing that Atobe's idea failed this time.
"No"
"Have you not noticed that that guy Tachibana is actually getting better and better at fighting?"
Yue Ren discovered some details and then spoke.
"Um?"
Looking up again, Shishido Ryo realized that Tachibana's movements seemed even more different?
"A little growth, but not much."
That is the current evaluation of Ju Juping. He has become more proficient in controlling the wildness, so much so that he has managed to hit back and save the ball many times.
Himuro also cooperated appropriately so that the situation would not be one-sided.
"Hey, did you hit this ball for a long time?"
"It's almost seven or eight minutes, right?"
"It's a bit incredible."
Kise thought for a long time but couldn't figure out why the ball was deadlocked for so long.
If he were to hit the ball according to Midorima's luck, it wouldn't be like this.
"Leo"
(Leo people will cause occasional entanglement with you today)
(But it’s nothing to worry about, since there won’t be any losses.)
His eyelids twitched, what should Midorima say?
All I can say is that the description is too real.
The ball he hit was almost always hit back by Ju Juping.
It's okay for Himuro, he will be very effective and score points, but Tachibana can miraculously come back without any problems.
"Drink!!"
After struggling to hit the ball back, Ju Juping had never felt that he was in such good condition today.
Little did he know, he had begun to understand the power of the wild and began to use it skillfully.
"Roar!!"
As if responding to his activity, the lion began to roar.
"Well!?"
The moment he caught the ball, Vulcan felt a sense of weakness, but in the end he hit the ball with brute force.
"Wild intimidation?"
That was undoubtedly Tachibana's lion characteristic. It had not been used before because it didn't work for him and Midorima at all.
But now he can temporarily make Vulcan feel weak, which is enough to prove that he is strong again.
"Then, I'm going to be serious!"
The tiger's roar echoed within his body, and Vulcan knew that "it" couldn't bear this suppressed humiliation.
"Roar!!"
"Kaka!!"
Red and white arrogance erupted from his body, and with the sky-shaking roar, just the air flow emitted could crack the surrounding walls.
The power of another dimension was finally revealed, and people saw the illusory sacred gesture.
"Is that the other-dimensional incarnation of the little Vulcan?"
"Oh wow, it's so powerful!!"
Kise's eyes were shining, and he looked excitedly at the huge figure that appeared.
"Mom, there is a big tiger on the court!"
"It's still white!"
"This junior high school student actually has the power of another dimension?"
"That's just like the real thing!"
Standing behind the God of Fire, the majestic figure of the sacred beast appears in the field of vision.
White tiger!
(Wild. No.)
(Is that a further path?)
(This is what Atobe wants me to know!)
From the moment he faced Vulcan's other-dimensional incarnation, Tachibana already understood the cause and effect.
Midorima did not choose to catch the ball that came back, but gave it to Kagami who was ready to go.
"I have to be serious!"
"boom!!"
As if he was deaf, the moment Vulcan swung the ball, the impact was so strong that no one could hear the sound.
When they reacted, they could only see the bodies of Tachibana Juping and Himuro being blown away on both sides of the court.
Where the tennis ball fell, a terrifying hole appeared. The hole completely swallowed up half of the court, as if it had been chewed by something.
"This time"
"Do we have to change venues?"
"Not expected."
"Yes, Birch."
"Oh!"
That obviously made it impossible for the game to proceed normally, but Atobe and Akashi had already expected this.
After all, this was not the first time that Vulcan's power from another dimension had been demonstrated, so they were somewhat prepared.
"Due to an accident at the venue, the game will be temporarily suspended."
Even if Vulcan's score is declared valid, it will still stop the game for a while.
Then, amid the noise of the crowd, maintenance workers brought the tools prepared in advance to fill in and repair.
"I think I hit him too hard."
In excitement, he struck out that blow. Although the "holy beast" would not hurt anyone according to his own wishes, the powerful impact still sent Himuro and Tachibana flying away. It looked like a bitten stadium. It's even more horrifying.
"It's really scary."
“I can’t handle feeling normal.”
Kise felt that it would be difficult to catch such a ball even with sweet spot skills.
In other words, the racket may not be able to withstand the destructive power and impact of this scale.
It is even possible that the hand will become useless.
"But, that also has a limit for you."
“Exerting explosive power beyond your body is always going to hurt.”
"So you better not get too carried away."
The coat had been draped over the shoulders at some point, and Ura Akashi appeared, looking at Kagami and reminding him.
"Hey, of course I know!"
Touching his arm, Vulcan naturally wouldn't do anything stupid.
He knows better than anyone how many times he can withstand such a performance.
"Depending on the situation, Senior Vulcan can win without using so much strength."
Aida Reiko observed the explosive increase in power and said excitedly with stars in her eyes.
She had never seen such growth.
It's like jumping from 1 to 10
It was so intense that I couldn't use words to describe my feelings at that time.
"Atobu hired people quickly."
“The damaged venue was repaired immediately”
"What department is that?"
I finally understood why the entrance to the venue was so huge. It turned out to be to facilitate transport vehicles to come in directly.
"This venue also has a part of the Atobe Foundation's investment."
"For them, even a snow-capped mountain can be built in one night."
"Not to mention fixing the potholes in just half the stadium."
Omo Akashi covered the surface again, and then issued an explanation.
Most spectators have never seen a situation where the stadium was destroyed due to excessive force and the game was suspended.
This first meeting was full of fun and conversation.
"What's wrong? I saw that power."
"Have you lost the courage to face it?"
Ignoring Himuro who was resting, he looked at Tachibana who was sitting silently next to him, Atobe laughed and said sarcastically.
"No, quite the opposite."
“It’s so powerful to know where the wild ends.”
"I am very happy."
My whole body was shaking, but it was not fear, but trembling with expectation for the future.
Although I had seen Vulcan's extra-dimensional power once, I was not in the field to face such power at that time, so I didn't experience it deeply.
But now, he understands
Only by facing that "fear" can we have a new future.
"Since he can transform from a beast into a holy beast."
"Then it's time for you to find your own path."
"Lions and tigers have always been the dominant animals in nature."
"Even though there may be differences between us, the starting point of wildness is the same."
Atobe looked at Tachibana who still had not lost his fighting spirit and knew that the arrangement of the competition was successful this time.
"You should be lucky to be in Kanto, Tachibana."
“Otherwise, I’ll be stuck in an environment like Kansai.”
“There’s always only that limit to what you can achieve.”
Although there was some "regional blackness" in his words, Tachibana Juping also knew that what Atobe said was correct.
Only by experiencing it personally on both sides can you know where the gap comes from.
Environmental factors can create different talents.
"Haha. Have I been forgotten?"
Seeing Atobe and Tachibana talking there, Himuro smiled awkwardly and said.
"Isn't the bait well made?"
“It’s important to have the lion and the tiger fight.”
"As a tool man, he is quite good. I am very satisfied."
Highlighting a "ruthless" statement, Atobe demonstrated his "king"-like approach.
"Forget it, I won't joke with you."
"Vulcan can become so much stronger, although he does have talents that surpass your essence."
"But it's not impossible for you to catch up."
With no intention of continuing to "pretend", Atobe waved his hand and said seriously.
"Um?"
"Zone will definitely not accept you."
"Then try your best to seek a state of selflessness."
"Well"
"Drink!!"
"Roar!!"
The venue only took more than ten minutes to be repaired, and Vulcan said he would do what he could.
"boom!!!"
"It exploded again!!!"
"Is this location safe?"
"Shouldn't this call the police?"
Even though the extra-dimensional power that blasted out was not as brutal and violent as it was at first, it was still shocking.
The greatly improved burst is enough for Vulcan to deal with all enemies.
It's not just an increase in strength. It includes jumping ability, body sensitivity, swing speed, etc.
That all changed dramatically, making Vulcan become "Superman".
He even had the "illusion" that he could beat ten Qingfeng.
This is the confidence that another dimension brings him
"Uhhhhh!!"
The racket had long been smashed to pieces, but Tachibana tried to catch the ball.
It was not an exaggeration to think that he would be beaten to death, but as if a lion appeared, even though he was injured, it did not hurt his roots.
"boom!!"
The figure rising from the sky made the final smash here.
"White Tiger Smash!!"
"Ouch!!"
"Boom!!"
The diffuse smoke and dust showed the harsh impact. It was not known how many times Himuro had been thrown out by the air pressure bomb. He lay on the ground and didn't want to wake up.
"it is finally over."
"This bait is really a waste."
Lying on the ground and looking at the blue sky, he smiled bitterly.
Being involved in something is too graphic.
In the fight between tiger and lion, he is really insignificant.
"competition is over!!"
"This set is won by Teiko Kagami and Midorima!!"
"score."
"1-6!!"
ps:
It’s been a long time since I’ve added an update, but it’s still a great chapter.
