The Second Target, Dōmoto Shingo
"It seems that after Saeki's defeat, his darkness has become even more dangerous..."
With his remarkable Insight, Irie Kanata was the first to understand what Saeki Muneyoshi had just done, and his words also represented the views of those currently watching the match.
On the court, Natsume Ryūichi took off his badge and reluctantly handed it to Muneyoshi, while he walked off the court dejectedly.
Holding the badge in his hand, Muneyoshi didn't even look at it before putting it directly into his pocket.
At this moment, he turned his gaze to Dōmoto Shingo in the stands.
Seeing Muneyoshi's gaze, Dōmoto Shingo could no longer avoid the fight, and slowly walked down with a racket in his hand.
He was tall and burly, with a cold, expressionless face.
Muneyoshi had already learned about him during the World Tournament.
They follow a path of Power Force and Technique Form, and their mental strength is also considerable.
Although he was stronger, to be honest, he was not as attractive to Muneyoshi as Natsume Ryūichi.
After all, in Japan, there are people stronger than Japan on either of the two paths he has Dōmoto Shingo.
His Technique Form is inferior to Byōdōin Hōō, Power Force is even less than that of Oni Jūjirō, and of course, he is also inferior to Byōdōin Hōō.
You could say he's a weaker version of Byōdōin.
Moreover, it's a weakening in every aspect.
However, he is not strong enough to fight Byōdōin right now, especially since his injuries have not yet healed.
Challenging Dōmoto Shingo can be seen as a warm-up for challenging Byōdōin later.
Dōmoto Shingo, of course, had no idea what Muneyoshi was thinking at that moment, but he disliked the way Saeki Muneyoshi was looking at him.
"I accept your challenge, let's begin!"
Compared to Natsume Ryūichi's relatively amiable demeanor, Dōmoto Shingo's tone was icy cold. After speaking, he turned and walked to the bottom line without any hesitation.
"Muneyoshi really is..."
Tanegashima Shūji looked at Dōmoto Shingo, whose face was cold and whose eyes were flashing with madness, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.
What he feared was not Dōmoto Shingo, but rather that the match was heading in a bad direction.
After all, in Tanegashima Shūji's view, both of the current competitors have a bit of a crazy streak.
By this time, the other challenges had also mostly ended, and the vast majority of the participants had secured their rankings and were heading towards the arena for the match between Muneyoshi and Dōmoto Shingo.
"Looks like our timing is perfect. Saeki Muneyoshi Dōmoto Shingo, this match is going to be interesting!"
Kimijima Ikuto's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"Interesting!"
Seeing that Tōno Atsukyō had actually defeated Natsume Ryūichi Muneyoshi, Dōmoto Shingo's eyes were filled with excitement, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "As expected of someone the boss has his eye on!"
Although he looked down on this group of senior high school students, it didn't mean that all the senior high school students were weak.
Otherwise, given Tōno Atsukyō's personality, he would have executed them long ago.
The reason he restrained himself was because he couldn't beat his opponent.
Although the third-year students will soon be leaving the training camp, no matter what, as long as Domoto and Natsume are still there, they will always be the First String of the representative team, representing the highest combat power in the training camp.
Especially the leading figure in the third grade Dōmoto Shingo.
"This guy actually beat Natsume, and he's not stopping there, he wants to challenge Domoto!"
"Hmph... arrogant brat who doesn't know when to stop, just wait and see what happens!"
The remaining senior students were filled with righteous indignation, eagerly anticipating Dōmoto Shingo teaching Saeki Muneyoshi a lesson.
Muneyoshi was well aware of Dōmoto Shingo's strength, and aside from everything else, Natsume Ryūichi's data was still clearly displayed in his mind.
Natsume Ryūichi: Speed: 4.5, Strength: 4.5, Endurance: 4.5, Technique: 5.5, Spirit: 6; Total of 25 points across all five attributes.
Without the improvement in technology and mental strength, Natsume Ryūichi's five-dimensional data would be almost the same as Tokugawa Kazuya, who received an elite Spain education.
Although Muneyoshi did not fulfill his promise to Medrano during his trip to Spain, he did have frequent exchanges with Tokugawa during the period when Tokugawa was depressed.
Tokugawa Kazuya's five-dimensional data is 4.5 in total, which is 22.5.
Comprehensive and balanced development is the biggest characteristic of elite education in Europe. It is precisely because of this that Tokugawa was so badly beaten by Byōdōin after arriving at the training camp.
Unlike Dōmoto Shingo, who was once number one, he has a naturally aloof personality.
His own strength also surpasses that of Natsume Ryūichi.
After his defeat at Byōdōin, he became even more taciturn. After undergoing rigorous training in the back mountains, he regained the number two badge.
Compared to others, he had an extraordinary obsession with securing a spot on the U-17 first team.
Dōmoto Shingo was also one of the best senior students. If it weren't for the dazzling performances of Byōdōin Hōō and Oni Jūjirō, he wouldn't be so unknown now.
On the court, Dōmoto Shingo gave Muneyoshi a cold look. Muneyoshi gestured for the ball to be decided, and Shingo said directly, "You serve first!"
Muneyoshi nodded and readily accepted.
After arriving at the baseline service area, Muneyoshi took out a tennis ball, held the racket in his right hand, and gently tapped the ball with his left hand.
Snap... Snap... Snap...
After pressing the tennis ball lightly a few times, Muneyoshi raised his brown eyes and tossed the ball upwards.
"Senior, they're coming!"
Bang!
A flash of dark light, and a clanging sound like a sword being drawn seemed to echo across the court. With a swing that was barely visible to the naked eye, the tennis ball flew straight to the opposite half of the court.
However, this was no challenge for Dōmoto Shingo. His eyesight was amazing, and his speed was also good. In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the landing point of the tennis ball and got into position to hit it.
"This shot is more than just fast!"
As soon as Muneyoshi finished speaking, Dōmoto Shingo suddenly noticed a black sphere spinning around the tennis ball in front of him.
Swish!
As soon as the racket was swung, Dōmoto Shingo felt the impact. He followed the momentum of the shot and tried to return the ball.
However, the next second, as the racket was lowered, there was another very clear sound of the ball hitting the ground, but Dōmoto Shingo's swing was already over.
The real tennis ball was hit high out of bounds.
"Out of bounds, Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 15-0."
What was that just now?
"Although it's fast, Domoto shouldn't be unable to catch it!"
"It's still a super out-of-bounds zone! Did Domoto make a mistake?"
Dōmoto Shingo ignored the others' comments. He raised his hand to look at the racket in his hand, his expression unchanged.
What's this called?
"Darkness Twin Stars, a clever serving technique!"
Upon hearing this, Dōmoto Shingo nodded. "That's indeed a minor trick. Continue!"
Hearing Dōmoto Shingo's words, Muneyoshi did not argue. Once the principle was understood, the Gemini fighting style was indeed a minor trick, even after he used Dark Enhancement.
He didn't expect this serve to work miracles...
"The Darkness Twin Stars!"
Bang!
The tennis ball flew out of Muneyoshi's hand once again, and the two orbs, one black and one yellow, landed in the opponent's half of the court as they spun around.
This time, Dōmoto Shingo stayed at the baseline, his eyes fixed on the tennis ball.
Suddenly, just as the tennis ball hit the ground, Dōmoto Shingo unleashed astonishing speed, disappearing from his spot in a flash.
At the same time, the muscles in his arm bulged, and he swung his racket forward with a sudden gust of wind, slowing down the speed of the tennis ball.
Then came another powerful swing, unleashing a torrent of force from the racket.
A loud bang.
The black ball of light was directly shattered, and a tennis ball was spinning continuously on his racket face.
"Caught it!"
With just one glance, I understood the principle behind this ball.
Compared to others who use techniques to break through, Dōmoto Shingo clearly more fond of power.
The touch from the racket made it very easy to return the tennis ball.
