Singles 2 (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
"Rikkai Dai actually lost in singles match three, does that mean the outcome of this match is already decided?"
Is Rikkai Dai finally going to lose its title as the king of the Kanto region?
"It might not be without suspense!"
"The next players from Rikkai Dai to compete are Mori Juzaburo and Yukimura Seiichi, the 'Child of God'!"
"It's unclear who will go first, but the fact that Fudomine and Rikkai Dai have reached this level means that the second singles match is extremely important for both of them."
"That's right. Whether Fudomine decides to finish off their opponent here, or Rikkai Dai wants to even the score again, the second singles match is equally important. This match is truly exciting."
"I never imagined Fudomine could push Rikkai Dai to this extent..."
"I really miss it. Ever since Rikkai Dai won the National Tournament last year, the Child of God, 'Yukimura Seiichi, hasn't played a single match. I wonder if he'll even get to play today..."
Although the referee has not yet announced Fudomine's starting player, Rikkai Dai's two remaining singles players are not easy to deal with.
"Who's Fudomine? It should be their manager, right?"
"I still hope the match goes the full way. For Rikkai Dai, if Fudomine this time, the match will likely be over by singles round two."
"If not, then this match will definitely go to Singles 1."
"Fudomine has actually pushed Rikkai Dai to the brink of collapse. Regardless of the outcome, this will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the Kanto region!"
"I still can't believe how exciting the match between Fudomine and Rikkai Dai was. It was definitely worth the trip today."
The spectators outside the stadium started discussing and talking amongst themselves.
Fudomine's training area.
"Muneyoshi, this time, I didn't lose again..."
Tachibana Kippei, who had been lifted off the stage, struggled to his feet, glanced at Muneyoshi, and said with a resolute look in his eyes.
This was the second time he had faced such a tough match; he was so close to losing again, but thankfully he held on.
The loss to Akutsu in the final of the Metropolitan Tournament made Tachibana Kippei feel extremely guilty, to the point that he became obsessed with training.
Today, I was almost pushed to the Tachibana Kippei by Sanada again, which reminded me of my crushing defeat in the Metropolitan Tournament.
That resentment and anger ultimately propelled him to unleash a devastating blow in that instant, and it was also the source of his strength that allowed him to hold on.
"Vice Minister, that shot of yours was absolutely amazing! You have to teach me when you get better. Anyway, we still have the Minister to play, we're sure to win!"
Kamio standing nearby, immediately pestered Tachibana Kippei, wanting him to teach him his secret techniques.
"That's right, Vice Minister, you actually defeated the Emperor of Rikkai Dai! That's amazing!"
The first-graders showed awe towards oranges.
At this moment, Tachibana Kippei paid no attention to their flattery and stared straight at Muneyoshi.
"Yes, Orange, you've won a crucial game for us. We're guaranteed to win today's match."
Muneyoshi gently patted Tachibana's shoulder, a warm smile on his face.
"After the match, let's have a good get-together. Hopefully, the guilt you feel has subsided by then."
Rikkai Dai's Sanada is a formidable opponent, and your strength is roughly equal. If you fight him to the very end, I won't be surprised who wins or loses.
Speaking of this, Muneyoshi's tone became somewhat excited as he recalled the move that Tachibana Kippei had unleashed.
"More important than that, I think you should focus on perfecting your signature move. The next tournament is the National Tournament, and your opponents certainly won't be standing still. I hope you'll be even stronger by then!"
"Don't worry, Muneyoshi, I will!"
After saying that, Tachibana Kippei lay down. He was exhausted and had only been able to keep going by sheer willpower.
Tachibana Kippei won, and the decision of whether they won or lost now rested in Saeki Muneyoshi's own hands.
This feeling made everyone at Fudomine feel very at ease, but Muneyoshi himself was not smug.
The match is not over yet, and the next match is singles second.
"The rest of the match is up to you, Shinji!" Muneyoshi said with a smile, looking at Ibu Shinji, whose face was filled with excitement.
"Um!"
Ibu Shinji nodded.
Fudomine is just one step away from the finals of the Kanto Tournament, and Ibu Shinji is well aware of the pressure he is under.
As a first-grader, he felt the immense pressure almost suffocating him, but after taking a few deep breaths, he quickly regained his composure.
The opportunity to overthrow the king of Kanto is about to fall into the hands of Ibu Shinji.
At this moment, it wasn't just him; all the spectators outside the arena were probably anticipating this event.
"Thank you for your hard work, Muneyoshi!"
At this moment, Hanamura Aoi also came over. Seeing that Muneyoshi had arranged everything, she smiled and said to Muneyoshi.
There was no worry about the upcoming match in their eyes.
On the other side.
In the rest area of Rikkai Dai.
"I'm sorry, Yukimura, I'm so sorry everyone..."
After a short rest, stimulated by the wet towel, Sanada finally woke up. He was pale, his knees were swollen and red, and he looked somewhat listless, but he still apologized.
"It's alright, Sanada!"
"You should get some rest, Sanada!"
"Leave the rest of the matches to us."
Niou Masaharu, who was also injured, said in a deep voice, "We still have Yukimura and Mouri- senpai!"
Yukimura Seiichi also noticed that Sanada was still clutching his abdomen from time to time.
In the previous match, when Tachibana Kippei unleashed his full power, the damage to Sanada didn't seem significant, but the pain he felt was considerable.
"Next time, I won't lose to him. I will definitely win back at the National Tournament!" Sanada Genichirou's eyes were like knives as he stared intently at Yukimura Seiichi, saying each word clearly.
"Well, you can settle your score with him at the National Tournament!"
Yukimura glanced at Sanada and smiled.
"Our Vice-Captain Sanada, you should get some rest!"
At this moment, Mouri had warmed up a bit, walked over. He still had a nonchalant look on his face, but he was much more serious now.
"And our Yukimura, leave the rest of the matches to me!"
"Mouri -senpai! I'm counting on you for the second singles match!"
Yukimura Seiichi also stood up, his expression extremely solemn as he spoke to Mori Juzaburo.
Only if Mouri wins will the game return to his hands.
"Leave it to me! I won't lose!"
Picking up his racket, Mori Juzaburo crossed his arms over his neck and lazily walked towards the court.
Upon hearing Mori Juzaburo's words, Yukimura seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Having spent so much time together, Yukimura had gained a good understanding of Mori Juzaburo's personality.
Despite being down 2-1 in the series, Mouri's decisions and his formidable strength proved to be very reliable.
