That's Because You Haven't Faced Me Yet

Feeling the thunderous cheers and encouragement, a hint of fighting spirit appeared in the eyes of the Fudomine members.

"Actually, what you just said is correct, Yukimura... Seiichi, I've always wanted to fight you, but you seemed afraid and kept avoiding me."

This is actually the first time I've met you all on the field.

Muneyoshi spoke calmly to the blue-purple-haired boy in front of him.

At this moment, their peaceful demeanor completely concealed the sharp edge they had just displayed in exchanging harsh words.

"You've kept us waiting too long... But, Saeki... Muneyoshi, even if your Fudomine were to stand before Rikkai Dai now, it would be futile!"

Yukimura Seiichi's personality is not as introverted and mild-mannered as his appearance suggests; toughness and decisiveness are his Yukimura nature.

Yukimura had extremely high aspirations.

There is a deeply hidden sense of self-importance.

He doesn't like to talk to or pay attention to people he looks down on, so many people find him unpredictable.

His ability to project a gentle demeanor is based on the premise that no one will undermine his sense of superiority.

To put it bluntly, he only cares about his own feelings and doesn't like to be tolerant or understanding of others.

As someone who, like Muneyoshi, embarked on the Mental Power Path, he also shares the same traits as Muneyoshi.

When he actually encounters something and is provoked, he often experiences some abnormal and extreme emotions.

Otherwise, do you really think that depriving someone of their five senses and instilling an aversion to tennis is a normal and easy thing to do?

Muneyoshi only acquired this characteristic after delving deeply into the Path of Darkness.

Yukimura also possesses this quality.

"Rikkai Dai's victory was flawless, and so was mine!"

Muneyoshi smiled upon hearing Yukimura's attitude.

His smile carried an endless chill, and thick, Dark Markings crawled across Muneyoshi's entire pupils, turning his originally brown pupils into a dark, inky black.

Suddenly, beams of dark light shot out from Muneyoshi's pitch-black eyes, emanating an incomparably violent and ruthless aura, like a tangled mass of negative emotions.

The next moment, the entire stadium disappeared from Yukimura Seiichi's sight, as if he had fallen into a dark world with only a few specks of moonlight.

Only at the very top, a pair of sharp, dark eyes were watching him.

"Ha, Child of God, what a grand title! The reason you've been able to win so many matches is because you haven't met me yet!"

The dark and gloomy atmosphere, like a venomous snake, instantly sent chills down Yukimura's spine.

At this moment, Muneyoshi appeared to him like a hunter standing in the darkness, and his target was now on him.

"Hmph! Didn't run into you? Saeki Muneyoshi, you're too arrogant!"

Yukimura hadn't recovered enough to answer. Although Sanada had also noticed Muneyoshi and Yukimura's abnormal behavior, he wasn't on this path and didn't realize the danger involved.

However, Sanada couldn't tolerate Muneyoshi's even more arrogant words.

"It's just a verbal sparring match. We hope you'll still have that same arrogance during the actual game. I'll be waiting for you in singles third place!"

"Heh, Sanada, I'm not usually interested in my defeated opponents. But you're our vice-captain's target, so I won't compete with him for you!"

Muneyoshi stopped paying attention to Yukimura. His initial attempts revealed that Yukimura's mental talent was indeed very strong; even when suddenly attacked, Yukimura was able to quickly calm down and escape.

He truly deserves to be called the most mentally gifted person among this group of junior high school students in the original work.

But...

Seeing Sanada take the lead, Muneyoshi didn't hold back. Instead, he unleashed his full trolling side, patting Tachibana's shoulder and giving him a provocative look.

"You!"

"Sanada..."

Sanada wanted to argue further, but Yukimura, having recovered, calmly stopped him.

Having already experienced Muneyoshi's linguistic prowess, Yukimura didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, because these exchanges were pointless; the key was still their strength on the court.

"However, was that dark world just now... also a use of mental power?"

Yukimura suppressed the negative emotions surging within him and gave Saeki Muneyoshi a meaningful look.

Then Yukimura led Rikkai Dai's group past Fudomine.

"I'm really looking forward to playing against you, Saeki Muneyoshi!"

"Me too... Child of God... Yukimura Seiichi..."

With a smirk, Muneyoshi brought up the nickname "Child of God" again, his words incredibly flippant, as if he were addressing Yukimura with a sincere respect.

However, when these repeated words reached the ears of the Rikkai Dai, coupled with Muneyoshi's attitude, they could easily see that this was mockery and provocation.

Ten minutes later.

"Keep it up!"

Yukimura looked at Jack Sanohara and Marui Bunta and encouraged them with a gentle expression.

Upon hearing this, the two immediately stood up straight, especially Kuwa, whose face became serious. "Minister, we will bring victory back!"

Jack Sanohara's appearance was very conspicuous in the crowd. He was of mixed Japanese and Brazilian descent, with dark brown skin all over his body.

You could also consider him an international student.

"Um."

Seeing their determination, Yukimura smiled and said nothing more.

Marui Bunta, standing to the side, appeared much calmer, casually twirling a racket in his hand.

Snap!

"Let's go, Jack."

Marui gently blew on the bubble gum in his mouth, called out softly to Jack Sanohara, and walked towards the court first.

"The second doubles match will now begin, featuring Kamio Akira Ishida Tetsu from Fudomine Junior High against Marui Bunta and Jack Sanohara from Rikkai University Rikkai Dai Affiliated Middle School."

"Please have both players come forward."

"Looks like I was right!"

As the referee announced the list of players, Rikkai Dai's Yanagi Renji squinted and glanced at Fudomine's coaching bench.

However, Hanamura Aoi had anticipated this situation, so he didn't show much surprise.

No matter how Fudomine arranges their lineup, Rikkai Dai's powerful doubles team will always encounter one of them.

The best outcome would be for Kamio and Ishida to run into Marui Bunta.

"The trio of Kamio, Ishida, and Rikkai Dai has excellent teamwork and chemistry, and they've already played in the National Tournament for a year. You definitely can't match them in that respect."

Seeing that the two seemed unconvinced by her words of encouragement, Hanamura Aoi didn't correct them. As if she hadn't noticed, she smiled slightly and continued:

"But you also have your own strengths, and I hope you can find them through this match!"

Go!

"Yes, Coach!"

The proud Kamio couldn't stand the coach's belief that he and Ishida were doomed to lose. He patted his teammate beside him, his face grim.

"Ishida, we must show the coach that her thinking is wrong!"

"That's right, Kamio!"

Honest man Ishida was also touched by Hanamura Aoi's slightly belittling attitude. He wasn't angry at Hanamura Aoi, but at himself and the other duo.

As a boy entering puberty, he naturally has an impulsive personality, and what he can't stand the most is being looked down upon, especially by a beautiful female coach.

Hanamura Aoi leaned lazily against the coach's bench, her eyes darting around as she glanced at the two who had become indignant because of her few casual words.

She chuckled, her smile quite alluring.

This is also one of the advantages of being a female coach.

However, Hanamura Aoi also knew that even if the two of them were inspired to fight, it would still be difficult to win this match.

Both players came to the net and began to choose their service games.

"Positive or negative."

"Just."

Looks like we're in luck.

Marui Bunta, who got to serve first, looked at Kamio and Ishida on the other side and gave a slight smile.

Neither of them spoke; instead, they went straight to the baseline and waited quietly for Rikkai Dai's serve.

Seeing that both players were ready, the referee's voice rang out again.

"The second doubles match begins. At the end of the first set, Rikkai Dai's Marui Bunta and Jack Sanohara serve first."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Jack Sanohara was already gently tapping the tennis ball. He glanced at Kamio and Ishida standing at the baseline on the opposite side and let out a soft shout:

"Then, let's begin, Fukuro? Tetsuya!"
