Chapter 109: First and Second Updates Players will simultaneously enter the flawless...
The last serve game that could be called a turning point,
Kintaro Toyama resolutely used Yagi Kei's serve, '360-degree Thomas spin, 100% empty-handed catch of the white-knife-the scheming frog touches your belly again, the universe's invincible big bang attack'.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, he made such a choice.
Everyone in Shitenhoji Temple, especially Shiraishi Kuranosuke, felt extremely complicated.
His mumbling to himself was not missed; Chitose Chisato, Koishikawa Kenjiro, and even the others at Shitenhoji Temple heard it all.
Having activated the 'Perfect Perfection', Toyama Kintaro's state has theoretically reached the point of near-perfection.
In this state, no matter what kind of attack he chooses, he can use it to the maximum, no, 120% or even 200%.
But he chose Kei Yagi.
In everyone's eyes, Yagi Kei's strength is unfathomable and as limitless as the ceiling.
"Wrong choice..."
Not just Shiraishi,
Seigakuen and Fudomine, who were watching the match from the sidelines, and Hyotei, who finally arrived late, all uttered this in their hearts.
But this spontaneous action just confirmed Rikkai University's speculation about the situation on the field.
Even if Toyama Kintaro himself doesn't express it, he still seems to have room for improvement and can go one step further.
But in real sense,
"Kin... has completely decided that he can't defeat Yagi-kun..."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke's sigh was like the beating of a drum, striking heavily in the hearts of everyone in Shitenhoji Temple.
Now that Rikkai University is two games ahead, they are facing Yagi Kei, known as the "gatekeeper."
Even with the 'perfect perfection', it still cannot be reversed...
The player looked up and saw that the opposing dungeon boss had copied the player's skills again.
Throw the ball, swing the racket, hit it—
The yellow ball swept with an incomparable momentum, coming at us with more force than any previous ball.
The value is soaring, and the golden legends under the status bar of the copy boss are shining brightly, which is constantly increasing the tail power of this COPY from Yagi Kei's ball.
Even the ball had a subtle change when it was halfway through the attack, and it was even more powerful. Even the referee sitting on the referee chair couldn't help but lean back.
Faintly, the Rikkai players on the sidelines recalled some not-so-wonderful memories of this goal.
“…After this shot, I hope no one will die next…”
Compared to the same thoughts, everyone's faces had complicated expressions.
Although there is no real precedent of death in tennis, and this is just a group of junior high school students playing tennis,
But the one who appears on the field now...is it really not possible?
It is difficult to think in the same frequency as the NPCs, and the player's heart can only fight back.
A reply! All A replies!
Toyama Kintaro fired a shot with such unparalleled force that even the onlookers were terrified, it flew straight towards Yagi Kei.
The black-haired figure held the racket in one hand and faced the opponent head-on without any deviation or avoidance!
"Kyu——!"
The racket and the meteor ball, which was almost a fire tornado, rubbed against each other and struggled, rolling and splashing, and even faint sparks of friction could be seen.
The sizzling sound was like the sound of frying in a hot pan, making people feel a little sad. Just watching this scene made me feel a little uncomfortable.
But Yagi Kei's expression did not change from beginning to end, not even the slightest deviation.
Calm, silent, decisive, without any hesitation, he used his own momentum to suppress the ball, twisting his arm and suddenly striking with his upper arm and half of his body -
'Nothing, nothing, nothing! !'
“——Fight back!”
Kirihara Akaya couldn't help but yelled loudly. Sanada Genichirō didn't scold him, but stood aside with his arms folded, staring straight at the field.
Yagi Kei's special move has been unbreakable by any opponent since it was created.
But now, after being copied by Toyama Kintaro, he was able to crack them one by one, which undoubtedly further proved the terrifying depth of his strength.
The ball was hit back and passed the net in just a moment and arrived in front of Kintaro Toyama.
Compared to the ease and comfort he felt when he had just activated the 'Perfect Perfection' mode, Toyama Kintaro's current state was undoubtedly a bit heavier, and his entire body's energy was constantly being consumed.
The player paid attention to it, and the title of [Perfect Perfection] in the status bar even seemed a little illusory. After a few more skills, the dungeon BOSS was successfully forced to go to the second stage.
I just don't know if there will be a third section.
Kintaro Toyama took a big step, used the ground to gain leverage to grab himself, and with both hands, he gripped the racket and hit the ball hard.
He couldn't do a one-handed counterattack like Yagi Kei did. The moment the racket hit the net and the tennis ball touched, his whole body tensed up.
Heavy! Too heavy!
Why, why, why on earth could Yagi return such a ball with just one hand—
Countless questions and puzzles filled his heart, but at that moment, Toyama Kintaro gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength with his arms, trying to hit the ball back with all his strength.
The same friction sound rang out from the strings of the racket in his hand. He held on for three, four seconds, but the power of the ball remained undiminished.
Until a certain frame, both hands suddenly felt light and empty.
Bai Shi and the others who happened to witness this scene slowly opened their eyes wide.
This meteor tornado of fire actually broke free from the racket in Xiao Jin's hand, pulling the racket string backward to an unavoidable extent, and finally -
He broke free and got out!
Toyama Kintaro didn't have time to process and retract the force, and he stumbled forward.
When he turned around and looked, he saw a huge hole burned through the center of the racket in his hand!
“…”
“…”
"This kid... is he some kind of racket killer, a professional racket destroyer..."
Bai Shi murmured.
Whether it was him fighting against Yagi Kei, or Atobe Keigo fighting against Yagi Kei, or even Tezuka Kunimitsu, Echizen Ryoma, or even the Rikkai people who practiced with him daily,
Seeing this scene, they all thought of their rackets that were broken in Yagi Kei's hands.
One for use and one for backup is not enough...
“15:0!”
There was a short halftime break after the referee blew the whistle.
Toyama Kintaro went downstairs to change his racket, and Yagi Kei also returned to the Rikkai University side with his racket.
Kirihara Akaya immediately came forward and asked about his well-being, but was pushed away by Marui, "Okay, okay Akaya, be quiet, let Kei rest now."
Even so, the kid standing in front of them didn't even have his hair wet. The only mess on his body was his uniform, which was a little messy from running back and forth hitting the ball.
Compared to Kintaro Toyama who was breathing heavily as soon as he came on the court and started drinking water and putting on a towel, this guy... was only slightly dirty at the corner of his clothes.
Genichirō Sanada watched coldly as everyone showed concern for the younger generation. Liu glanced sideways at the Shitenhoji Temple across the way, and his gaze met that of Kuranosuke Shiraishi, who was looking at him from afar.
The two exchanged glances and turned away.
"It seems that Shitenboji is not going to give up easily." Liu's voice sounded softly.
Sanada didn't say anything, but just slightly pulled his hat, raised his eyes from under the brim and looked at the stadium that was almost smashed into ruins by stray bullets.
"It's really... so unbecoming."
After a short break, the two sides changed sides, with Kei Yagi and Kintaro Toyama standing on the side of Shitenhoji and Rikkai University respectively.
While the people of Rikkai were getting a closer look at Kintaro Toyama who had entered the 'Perfect Match' mode, the people of Shitenhoji were also able to take a closer look at Kei Yagi's data and performance.
The sober golden-haired Koharu made full use of his IQ of 200, narrowed his eyes and stared at the black-haired boy on the field.
"Rikkai University's Yagi-kun..."
"—Toyama Kintaro serves!"
After losing points with COPY's 'butterfly ball' and 'explosive ball', Kintaro Toyama's options are undoubtedly limited.
In addition, his three previous special moves were all rejected by Yagi Kei with an expressionless face. No matter what he tried now, he would definitely be blocked coldly and cruelly.
For a moment, Toyama Kintaro, who was holding the ball, couldn't decide what ball to serve for a long time.
Everyone at Shitenhoji Temple saw this, and Shiraishi Kuranosuke slowly said, "...Xiao Jin,"
"There aren't many choices left for Kintaro to make now." Golden Koharu said calmly.
"Every possible ball path he tried would be hit back at the end, completely crushed. Kintaro has been bound by his own fear."
'Bound', the words came out,
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Qiansui Qianli slowly said: "The ultimate state of selflessness and seamless perfection is to find the original joy of playing tennis and regain the original intention."
"If Kintaro is constrained by his own fear and cannot act freely, even the most perfect plan will not help him in the slightest."
Zaizen's heart tightened, "Then what should I do?!"
“…”
Qiansui Qianli looked at the court and said softly, "You'll have to ask Xiao Jin himself."
As his voice fell,
Toyama Kintaro, who had been struggling on the court for a long time, clenched the tennis ball tightly. The shouts from all around the court, shouting for him to "hit it out" and "give up quickly" mixed together.
The rhythm of letting him win and letting him lose goes up and down,
Moreover, there is the figure that is oppressing me in front of me.
Kei Yagi.
From beginning to end, the insurmountable Kei Yagi.
The light of "Perfect Perfection" dimmed slightly, and the hearts of the people in the Shitianbao Temple tightened, and they couldn't help but lean forward.
"Xiao Jin..."
"Kintaro——"
But, the next second, it seemed as if a decision had finally been made.
Since you can’t surpass it—then challenge it!
Always challenging, always fun!
Toyama Kintaro raised his eyes heavily, and the suppressed expression gradually disappeared, replaced by the frankness and calmness of someone who had found something extremely precious.
A slight "ding" sound passed by my ear.
The player's peripheral vision moved slightly, and the status bar of the opposite copy BOSS lit up again.
[The title of '*** Protagonist' for the dungeon boss, Kintaro Toyama, has been activated!]
[The dungeon boss, Kintaro Toyama, and the new protagonist of this game have recovered! ]
The dungeon boss that entered the second stage suddenly entered the third stage without any warning.
The players were simply stunned.
No, isn't this reasonable?
Is this really okay?? Huh???
Answer me!!
This is more than just the best, it is the best among the best!!
Just one look at the dungeon BOSS's health bar, status bar, and five-dimensional numerical chart from a distance would make any player die.
The players were not allowed to express their complicated emotions at the moment, but the emotions of the other people on the sidelines were all reflected on their faces.
Especially Shitenhoji, after keenly catching the change in Toyama Kintaro's expression, his heart suddenly became quiet for some reason.
As if taking a tranquilizing pill, everyone in Shitenbo Temple was waiting—
'Take this step', 'As long as you can take this step', 'Don't be afraid', 'Don't worry'... These are what they want to say to Toyama Kintaro,
The tennis ball was thrown high up and rolled out an easy arc. Kintaro Toyama grabbed the racket and swung it violently, jumping on the spot and hitting it quickly!
“——empty, empty, empty!!”
It was a goal that was simple and clear without any frills, and it could even be said to be too simple and clear!
But this... was also the first goal!
The yellow ball flew across the court like lightning, heading straight for Yagi Kei on the other side of the net.
It was very fast, without any extra spin or angle, just like the ball that had been hit thousands and thousands of times in training.
Appearing in every corner of the stadium, it is normal.
At this moment, strike straight towards the opponent.
"...'The first ball'?" Inui Sadaharu slowly lowered his glasses.
Yanagi Renji said slowly, "All offensive methods are restricted, and no matter which method is used, it is impossible to achieve the goal, so we should simply abandon everything and use this ball to attack."
"——What a smart choice, Kintaro!" Golden Koharu smiled happily.
"In this way, no matter how dark, heavy, or difficult the enemy is, it will definitely be purified by this 'first ball'!!"
“…”
“BOOM! BANG!!”
The player looked at the ball that came to him in a flash without any embellishment with a big ace, expressionless.
After the fight, I quietly looked down at the BUFF that the opposing dungeon BOSS had applied to me.
['The First Ball': Go home, back to the good old days.]
[Buffs are all weakened, temporary upgrades are all canceled, and there is a high probability of psychological suggestion, causing "crying", "revolving lantern", "childhood memories", and "thinking about life" states]
Oh, so... Is this treating him as some evil villain?
But——that's really embarrassing,
But players never intend to be soft-hearted towards any character in the game.
Moreover, players are just players.
What kind of evil villain is this? It's just a bunch of you dungeon bosses who will cheat at the slightest disagreement! !
A return shot, when Toyama Kintaro rushed to the landing point and hit it back, the black-haired figure had already flashed to the front of the net.
He jumped high, his figure almost blocking out the sky and the sun,
At that moment, Toyama Kintaro looked up and froze. He seemed to see a black abyss spreading upward from below, enveloping, swallowing, and destroying everything...
The racket hit the ball, followed by a teeth-grinding friction and thumping sound, "Dong, Dong, Dong!!"
The yellow ball rushed towards his face with irresistible force like a mighty army. He was distracted for a moment, and when he regained his composure,
The referee blew the sharp whistle.
“30:0!”
Once again, Kintaro Toyama, who had regained his original intention, was defeated in his own perfect serve game.
“Bang!”
"Bang!"
"Bang--!"
“Boom!!”
The challenger and the challenged finally returned to their respective positions. Shitenhoji looked at the situation on the field. Even though he had many twists and turns in his heart, he accepted the reality without hesitation.
Xiao Jin had tried his best and even regained his original intention for the 'first goal', but even so, he still couldn't score a single point from the kid from Rikkai University.
"Ha ha……"
"...The young are truly formidable, the young are truly formidable."
After accepting the conclusion that the loss was inevitable, Shitenhoji felt much more relaxed and was able to observe, analyze and view Yagi Kei from a more comprehensive perspective.
Whether it is the action of hitting the ball or the judgment of sitting down in an instant when returning the ball,
The key word throughout is "precision".
“…All the information has been collected and processed…”
"Looking at it this way...it's even more like a textbook than Shiraishi..."
Bai Shi laughed out loud, without giving it much thought. He raised his head slightly and looked at the black figure on the court who swung his racket again to return the slice shot from Xiao Jin.
"Really?... More like a textbook than me?"
He lowered his voice, as if he was talking to himself,
"I really want to know this guy's true strength, where exactly is it..."
“Beep!”
"Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji——4:0!"
He once again won the entire serve, and even the situation changed in the next game, with the serve returning to Kei Yagi.
The few people who knew his special skills were secretly thinking in their hearts,
The Butterfly Ball and Big Bang had already been successfully executed in the first two games. So, according to Yagi Kei's habit... the next thing that would happen in this serving game should be...
[Skill: 'You think I know you don't, but I know you don't know. The scheming frog touches your belly again. Super confusing Kaleidoscope.' Click to use - use pause]
[Discontinued]
The player who just raised his hand and clicked the third serve skill glanced at the dungeon BOSS who had entered the third stage.
Although the health bar was reduced to only 1/3, the 5-dimensional image and status bar BUFFs have not disappeared.
Among them, the most eye-catching skills of players are 'Spiritual Gain', 'Control-Immune', and 'Untargetable', which are all skills that are very targeted at spiritual skills.
The third serve skill is to use up all the mental strength, facing the copy boss who is now the "new protagonist of this game",
It's tantamount to a free point question.
At the last minute, the player immediately canceled the use of this skill.
If you don't use this skill, then the player can also use...
Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound and a pop-up window flashed, and it appeared in front of me without any warning.
The unconcerned player glanced at it.
Wait, is this... golden glitter?
Rikkai served the ball, but the black-haired figure standing there holding the ball suddenly stopped moving.
He didn't move. Whether it was Toyama Kintaro across from him or the people at Shitenhoji and Rikkai on both sides, they were all a little confused and vaguely puzzled.
One second, two seconds, three seconds. This time, even the spectators and the referee noticed that something was wrong.
"What happened to that kid??"
"Why are you suddenly not moving?"
"Hey, hey, don't be so dazed at this critical moment!?"
Urging voices came one after another, and in the field, the puzzled Toyama Kintaro tried to get closer to see more clearly.
But as he approached, his momentum suddenly rose, and the sharp instinct of a wild animal was fully activated. Before Toyama Kintaro could react, his body had already quickly retreated.
Shitenhoji Temple, which faced the transformation of Yagi Kei, was the next to be witnessed.
Familiar, even fragmented light that I had just seen not long ago, surrounded me softly and clearly. My smooth and neat hair was slightly lifted, and my clothes were floating automatically without wind.
Simple, clear, clean and concise,
His entire existence became extremely vivid, a bold stroke of color.
Just standing there quietly, the momentum is fully spread out, surging endlessly like the waves of the sea, and the faint stardust accompanies the silence and ups and downs of the sea of stars.
The slightly closed eyes opened again, and the dark and empty bottom of the eyes was still like an endless abyss.
“This, this is…”
"No, no, this is... the ultimate in perfection!"
Thousands of years and thousands of miles have lost their voices,
The three doors that thousands of people had been desperately pursuing were opened so easily.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke had already guessed it in his heart, and vaguely felt that he had passed the three doors, but now that he actually saw Yagi Kei enter the "Perfect Perfection", he was still greatly shocked.
Rikkai Ohba was also surprised by this, but unlike Shitenhoji, he was not worried or anything like that.
As they got to know their younger generation better, everyone could not help but realize that:
If the only drawback of 'Perfect Perfection' is the double consumption of stamina,
So, facing Yagi Kei, whose stamina is limitless and almost inhuman... wouldn't that mean his only weakness has been solved?!
So that means...
For Yagi Kei, 'the ultimate in seamlessness' is essentially a permanent state that can be activated at any time!
After realizing this, Genichirō Sanada couldn't help but clench his fists.
A huge pressure descended upon my heart. It was simply too fast... The speed at which the younger generation was evolving was simply too fast.
Even if they tried their best to catch up, it seemed that they could not...
The player clicks on the pop-up window that pops up the Golden Legend [Perfect Perfection] skill.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, you have successfully entered the ultimate level of perfection! ]
The players waited and waited, and the players waited again.
After waiting for a while, nothing seemed to change except for a pop-up notification.
Looking at the status bar again, the five-dimensional graph seemed to have changed slightly, and the skill icon also glowed faintly.
Having no idea about this, the player decided to try A first to test the waters.
After a brief pause, facing the gazes of the audience, some surprised, some expectant, some fearful, and some puzzled, the black figure standing there finally moved.
"How will he attack?"
"I'll bet on the butterfly ball!"
"No, no, no, the butterfly ball is a thing of the past. If we're going to bet, we'll definitely bet on that move that hasn't been used yet—"
Hold the ball, throw it up, bend your knees, jump, swing the racket——
“——empty, empty, empty, empty!!”
The empty sound the moment the ball was released was incredibly loud!
The yellow ball only appeared on the racket for a moment, and in the next frame it suddenly shot out at the speed of sound. The speed of the ball was so fast that everyone's eyes were still fixed on the racket.
But the sound of "bang!" that followed immediately attracted everyone's attention.
A hole suddenly appeared beside Kintaro Toyama, who was rooted to the spot holding his racket!
“…”
“…”
"Am I... hallucinating... or am I hallucinating? Am I hallucinating or hearing things...?"
Confused, bewildered, not knowing where I am,
And, shocking.
The referee didn't even have time to blow the whistle, and watched the ball fall into the hole.
Although in this situation, a replay is usually requested to confirm whether the score is correct, the hole where the ball landed is convincing and the evidence is solid.
The referee held the whistle for a long time, and finally put it close to his mouth.
“Beep!”
“15:0!”
"...This is the 'first shot'..."
Golden Xiaochun's voice trembled. Compared with Toyama Kintaro's 'first ball',
A world of difference... absolutely, a world of difference.
The player who hit the ball, Kei Yagi, turned his racket, slowly raised his eyelids, and looked directly at Kintaro Toyama who was just across the net.
One ball,
“30:0!”
Two balls,
“40:0!”
Three balls,
“5:0!”
Ball after ball, shot after shot,
The player only used the simplest swing and hit, and successfully drove the opponent on the other side of the field to run for his life.
One-sided crushing and playing,
The same 'perfect perfection', the same 'first ball',
Same... but different ending,
Just because of Kei Yagi.
“Beep beep!”
"Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji - S2 Singles 2, final score 6:0!"
"Rikkai University vs. Shitenhoji, 3:0——"
"Rikkai University—Advance to the finals!!"
