The Real Business Has Arrived, I'm Done Playing With You

"Heh heh heh..."

"I'm gonna cripple you!"

The aura radiating from Akutsu Jin became even more terrifying, but unfortunately, it had no effect on Muneyoshi at this moment.

"If you can do it, then try!"

Bang!

Bang!

The match continued. Akutsu Jin's talent was indeed extraordinary. After just a few shots, he began to adapt to the intensity Muneyoshi was applying and started to counterattack.

Moreover, the power and speed of his returns grew stronger and stronger.

However, no matter how he changed or how much he improved, Muneyoshi could still easily return the ball and score.

On the court, Akutsu was provoked by Muneyoshi, his aura growing more violent, like an unparalleled ferocious beast constantly launching attacks.

As his opponent, Muneyoshi was like a seasoned hunter. No matter how the other party resisted, it seemed like he had fallen into a pre-arranged cage.

Furthermore, as Muneyoshi began to reveal his strength, Akutsu found it increasingly difficult to cope, being completely suppressed.

Bang!

Akutsu unleashed another powerful smash, then lowered his body extremely low, adopting a stance reminiscent of the start of a sprint. His expression became more serious than ever before.

Thump!

His superb explosive power was evident at this moment. Akutsu's body moved like a sprinter's start, leaving a blur in his wake.

Sensing Muneyoshi's movements, he calculated the landing spot in advance.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Muneyoshi's lips.

"He fell for it..."

He slightly extended his arm, forcibly changing his hitting style. With his elbow lowered by a few inches, he tilted his racket slightly and struck the tennis ball while it was still in the air.

Pong!

The tennis ball was imparted with a slight underspin and shot directly through Akutsu's legs, landing on the baseline.

Pat!

"3-0."

Muneyoshi uttered the score. His seemingly casual attitude drove Akutsu to the brink of madness.

However, as the match continued, Akutsu's aura grew increasingly subdued.

Although the terrifying aura that permeated the court became denser, he no longer shouted. His pale gold eyes, like those of a demon, were fixed intently on Muneyoshi.

It was as if he were ready to devour him at any moment.

Akutsu, who had regained the serve, showed a different glint in his eyes, as if something new was about to brew.

"Heh heh heh... It's my turn to serve!"

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his pearly white teeth glinted in the sunlight. Akutsu let out a chilling laugh.

Staring intently into Muneyoshi's eyes, the tennis ball in his hand creaked as he squeezed it. Muneyoshi's constant provocation and anger were pushing Akutsu into a fierce evolution.

What had happened in these less than twenty minutes, along with Muneyoshi's half-smirk, had completely ignited the emotions deep within him.

The dangerous aura intensified. He wanted to use his offensive tennis to completely crush this incredibly annoying white-haired brat across from him.

A hazy grey aura suddenly materialized from him, and a violent, ferocious aura filled his entire half of the court, then began to spread towards Muneyoshi's side.

"Hoo... ha..."

With each inhale and exhale, the ferocious aura expanded more intensely.

Finally, under Akutsu's control, the originally scattered aura began to synchronize with his breathing.

As Akutsu exerted control, the aura retracted, converging behind him and around his body into a flickering grey light that enveloped him entirely.

"Damn you, go to hell!"

Without further ado, once all the aura was retracted and his momentum reached its peak, Akutsu casually tossed the ball upwards.

Swish!

"Beautiful!"

Muneyoshi couldn't help but admire Akutsu's ability to continuously learn and evolve under his pressure.

Although Akutsu's movements weren't perfectly standard, he instinctively mobilized the power from all parts of his body.

He truly was a genius!

"Bastard, you're in a match against me, the great me! What are you thinking about, you weirdo?"

Seeing the admiration in Muneyoshi's eyes, the moment the ball was served, a mass of grey energy enveloped it. It slammed into the ground, then bounced irregularly towards Muneyoshi's face.

Muneyoshi shook his head in response.

Without much movement, he simply crossed his right leg behind his left and leaned his body slightly. With a diagonal swing of his arm, he powerfully smashed the ball towards the opposite corner.

"The same trick won't work on me!"

Akutsu roared, his running style like that of a track athlete, creating wind beneath his feet as he forcefully caught up to the ball.

Bang!

Muneyoshi's eyebrows twitched. He could truly feel Akutsu's strength constantly changing, and he was somewhat surprised by Akutsu's speed of evolution.

But he could already do this much two years ago!

Tap-tap!

He also took two light steps forward, leaped, and with a gentle swing of his racket, hit a lob towards Akutsu's blind spot.

Akutsu looked up, charged forward again, leaped, and slammed his racket down heavily.

Boom!

The tennis ball shot towards Muneyoshi like a cannonball, the whistling friction sound telling of the ball's power.

"Hmph, finally something decent. I can get a little serious now!"

His knees bent slightly, and a potent mental will emanated from him, like flames rising and spreading across the land, momentarily halting the smash shot for a millisecond.

"Raise Fire to the Heavens!"

Boom!

With an explosive sound, a dazzling burst of fire flashed.

A yellow streak of light, like a meteor, instantly flashed behind Akutsu.

The tennis ball, which Akutsu had smashed towards Muneyoshi's body, flew back with even greater speed and force, with an unparalleled explosive aura, towards Akutsu's back left court.

It left an imprint at Akutsu's feet before flying away again, hitting the wire net behind him.

Screech!

As the tennis ball rolled onto the ground, Akutsu remained frozen, unmoving.

Seeing Akutsu like this, Saeki Muneyoshi felt that at this point, the match had lost all meaning.

Was Akutsu a genius?

Certainly!

But he was still too lacking. Although his physical condition was strong, he hadn't received any proper, systematic tennis training.

Throughout this match, he had relied entirely on experience gained from watching games in informal matches.

He was persisting through sheer innate sharp senses and that terrifying aura.

As he was now, he was simply too weak.

Even with the advantage of his aura, he didn't know how to use it at all.

Although his strength would make him an undisputed starter on any team.

However, in front of Saeki Muneyoshi, who was on the verge of breaking through to the national level and standing on the current top-tier stage of middle school tennis, the gap was too vast.

Muneyoshi's gaze shifted to the corner of his eye, spotting a familiar figure he had been waiting for.

"My real business has arrived. I won't play with you anymore!"

After saying that, he placed his racket on his shoulder and turned to walk towards Tezuka without looking back.

"Are you trying to run away?"

Seeing Saeki Muneyoshi about to leave, Akutsu taunted.

Muneyoshi was momentarily speechless, then turned around and looked at Akutsu coldly, saying:

"Your current strength is too poor, you don't even have basic tennis skills. Why would I run away?"

"If you want to play tennis, you can come find me, and I'll teach you!"

Akutsu, whose aura had already subsided and calmed down, became enraged once more, his expression extremely ferocious.

"Don't you dare run! I told you, don't order me around!"

He tossed the tennis ball in his hand again, a chilling smile on his lips, and forcefully sent the ball towards Muneyoshi's body once more.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his lips.

Sensing the ball's trajectory, Muneyoshi frowned, displeased with Akutsu's method of attacking the body.

Although such methods were common in world tennis and not entirely unacceptable.

However, formal matches in Japan were not like this; this was the style of informal games.

"It looks like I need to teach you properly that tennis is not something used to injure people!"

"Hah, Scorching Sun Burn!"

The muscles in his arm bulged, and his powerful mental energy condensed into a near-physical form at this moment. Akutsu was instantly pulled into a hazy illusion.

He only felt a blinding sun flash, a scorching smell rising in the air, accompanied by a slight burning sensation on his skin, followed by a churning pain in his abdomen.

"Gah~"

Unable to bear the sharp pain in his abdomen, Akutsu vomited directly.
