Seeing the Seigaku team all rushing towards Akutsu, Keith glanced at them indifferently, without any expression.

He's been through a lot like this before.

If it weren't for Akutsu's previous actions, he probably would have slightly avoided attacking the opponent's body.

"Tezuka, we have to stop this match! That Keith on the other side is terrifying!"

Fuji watched as Akutsu was sent flying, his face filled with disbelief.

The demeanor and expression of Keith's attack just now were so similar to those of Saeki Muneyoshi.

Although Keith's overall mental suppression was far inferior to that of Saeki Muneyoshi, he was far stronger than the others.

Both of them are beyond the National Level that junior high school students are supposed to be at.

Tezuka was also staring intently at Keith's figure, his Brilliant Talent mind constantly simulating the attack.

But no matter how he simulated it, he still didn't have a good way to deal with this move at the moment.

Indeed, as Fuji said, the other party has also exceeded the boundaries of the nation, at least in terms of attack, it has exceeded the level of the nation.

"Alright, Fuji, we're prepared to forfeit..."

"Tezuka, Fuji, are you two kidding me? You want me to forfeit?"

Akutsu had suffered multiple injuries from the fall, struggled to his feet, spitting out bloody phlegm, his eyes filled with a dangerous glint.

"Unless I die on the field, you are not allowed to forfeit!"

Looking in the direction of Tezuka and Fuji, Akutsu said viciously.

"Akutsu..."

"Akutsu, your body..."

"Akutsu!!"

The members of Seigaku were extremely worried about Akutsu's injuries.

But Akutsu didn't appreciate it and rudely pushed everyone away. "Get out of my way, the match isn't over yet!"

Seeing Akutsu persist in the match despite his injuries, Keith suddenly felt that he understood the guy in front of him a little better.

He then glanced back at Saeki Muneyoshi in the players' area.

Akutsu's reaction just now was strikingly similar to the way he had reacted when he first met this guy.

His light blue eyes remained fixed on Akutsu's face, the tennis ball in his hand squeaking as he squeezed it hard.

"What, is this all there is to it?"

Seemingly sensing Keith's hesitation, Akutsu smiled again.

He wanted to provoke Keith, and it wasn't just Keith who noticed the personality similarities in Akutsu.

Akutsu also saw in Keith a true reflection of someone who could rival Saeki Muneyoshi.

This made him ecstatic, as he had never been able to see Saeki Muneyoshi's back in the road.

"What an arrogant fool!"

Akutsu's words instantly reignited the anger that had been extinguished in Keith.

However, at this moment, Akutsu's personality, which was similar to that of Saeki Muneyoshi, was revealed once again, and he seemed to see the shadow of Saeki Muneyoshi.

They were all so arrogant and conceited, so utterly overbearing!

Although he came to Fudomine, the person he most wanted to defeat was none other than Saeki Muneyoshi.

"Drink it!"

The aura surrounding Keith suddenly surged, then quickly gathered on the tennis ball in his hand.

The deep blue light it emitted was exceptionally dazzling.

Bang!

Akutsu flew out again!

"Game 3, singles match won by Fudomine Keith, score 6-3."

After the match ended, neither Keith nor Akutsu shook hands. Keith glanced at Akutsu, who was covered in bruises, and then prepared to pack up and leave.

"Wait a minute... what's the name of this move?"

Akutsu's voice came from behind, Keith paused.

"Universal Gravitation!"

"Universal Gravitation... Keith!"

Atobe's expression turned cold; Keith Fudomine had once again raised the level of threat he perceived him to.

Such attacks were seen far more clearly by his astonishing eyesight than by ordinary people.

Is it above all others nationwide?

At this moment, everyone who entered or learned about the national situation felt the same voice echoing in their hearts.

"Just you wait, I'll catch up quickly!"

Fudomine's training area.

"How about it, Keith? Akutsu from Seigaku is quite a tough opponent, isn't he!"

Muneyoshi smiled and handed Keith a towel.

"Yes, Akutsu is a very good opponent."

Keith took the towel and nodded. Akutsu was not only physically outstanding, but his speed, strength, endurance, and mental strength were also among the best of his peers.

However, seeing Muneyoshi's smiling face, Keith wiped the sweat from his forehead, changed the subject, and said:

"However, more than them, I actually want to defeat you, Muneyoshi!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Saeki Muneyoshi, whose smile widened even further.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you after this Kanto Tournament is over!"

"Hmph, you better not lose the next match!"

After saying that, Keith didn't wait for Muneyoshi's reply and went straight to his seat.

Ten minutes later.

"Next, the Singles 2 match will begin, featuring Saeki Muneyoshi from Fudomine Junior High against Tezuka Kunimitsu from Seishun Seigaku."

"Please welcome both players to the arena!"

After the referee announced the teams, a huge commotion erupted in the arena.

"What... it's a table like this?"

Tachibana Kippei's expression first changed, then he glanced meaningfully at the Seigaku players' area opposite him.

However, upon closer examination, it's not difficult to understand.

After witnessing Saeki Muneyoshi's true strength in a Rikkai Dai, Seigaku would never place Tezuka as their Singles 1.

"However, Coach Hanamura was right on the uptake, perfectly guessing what that old woman from Seigaku was thinking."

Tachibana Kippei glanced around and noticed that Coach Ryuzaki's expression on the sidelines wasn't too good, so he smiled slightly.

Seigaku's expression also changed drastically. Anyone who knows Saeki Muneyoshi's name knows his previous record, especially after yesterday's match against the Child of God, Yukimura Seiichi.

In the junior high school tennis circle, practically everyone knows about it.

Fudomine, he has never lost a single match. Moreover, except for the match against Yukimura Seiichi, he has never lost a single point against any other opponent, winning all of them 6-0.

His unfathomable skill and destructive tennis have led many to speculate that his opponent's ability has long surpassed the junior high school level.

Furthermore, in the recently concluded singles third match, Keith Fudomine also demonstrated strength surpassing that of top National Level.

This has caused many people to start having doubts.

Fudomine's singles team has probably surpassed Rikkai Dai's, making them the most terrifying singles team in the junior high school world.

Before yesterday, many schools still had doubts about whether others could defeat Saeki Muneyoshi.

Now, they've practically forgotten about that idea.

This time, Tezuka Kunimitsu will be facing such a person, even though the Seigaku team members usually trust Tezuka.

However, at this point, they couldn't be sure if their minister could actually defeat Saeki Muneyoshi.

Fuji's eyes were now fully open, and his expression, usually gentle, had become extremely serious.

Looking at Tezuka's tall and straight back, his heart trembled slightly.

As for Akutsu, after receiving a simple bandage, he returned to the sidelines.

His defeat to Keith left him with numerous wounds and bruises, and even the muscles in his arms became red and swollen.

But Keith also brought Akutsu a new level of tennis excitement.

To gain a deeper understanding of this level of skill, he was determined to watch the entire match despite his severe injury.

As the broadcast faded, Muneyoshi and Tezuka stepped onto the court with steady steps.

"Tezuka, I've finally run into you. This time, I've come to keep our promise!"

Arriving at the net, Saeki Muneyoshi extended a hand and smiled gently.

"Muneyoshi, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Let's give it our all!"

Tezuka also extended one hand and shook hands tightly with Saeki Muneyoshi, the emotion in his eyes also different from usual.

Compared to other students in junior high, Tezuka was probably the one who knew best how terrifying Saeki Muneyoshi's growth had been.

From initially competing against him to ultimately being defeated by him, both of them were eventually sidelined in the regional preliminaries.

It can be said that, apart from their different personalities, the two had almost identical experiences in the early stages of their lives.

The turning point came at that time. In fact, after seeing Muneyoshi easily defeat Akutsu in the previous regional preliminaries, Tezuka had taken the time to learn about Saeki Muneyoshi's experiences over the past year.

Although he wasn't entirely clear on most of it, what had been revealed was enough to surprise and inspire Tezuka.

Tezuka, who had always aimed to become a professional player, suddenly realized that Saeki Muneyoshi had already surpassed him in this regard.

This was a greater shock to Tezuka than anything else.

Therefore, he was eager to have a match with Muneyoshi.

What he wanted to confirm was just how big the gap was between himself and the world's best players...

Muneyoshi's view on Tezuka is different from others. After all, whether in the original work or in reality today, the name of this man itself represents a kind of expectation.

Even Saeki Muneyoshi himself didn't know how strong Tezuka now, because of him, everything had changed.

But no matter what, the burning passion in his heart would not deceive him; Muneyoshi also longed to fight Tezuka!

And defeat the man who had once brought him defeat.

Please give me your guidance!

Please give me your guidance!

Aside from the initial pleasantries, the two didn't say much, because the agreement was made by both parties, and they were simply fulfilling that agreement.

However, for the spectators at the stadium, both players are undefeated to this day.

They believed it would be a fierce match between the two sides.

Moreover, it Metropolitan Tournament.

Riding the wave of their winning streak, whether Fudomine can exact revenge on Seigaku will be a major point of discussion.

P. S.: "The promised dream match has finally come true. More than 300 chapters have passed since I first lost to Tezuka. Please vote with monthly tickets!"

Although I've already completely dominated in this "Dream Come True" competition, I'll still try to write it in a more engaging way.
