Shiraishi Kuranosuke
"Juping!"
Looking at the incredibly familiar Beast Aura emanating from Tachibana Kippei, Chitose revealed a faint smile.
The current Tachibana Kippei is the person I truly know!
"Come on, Kikkari, I've been waiting for you to get serious."
As Chitose finished speaking, the radiance of selflessness that had barely enveloped him expanded again, and a ring of white light surrounded his entire body.
Boom!
On the court, the two began a fierce battle, with Tachibana Kippei unleashing absolute power and delivering a thunderous roar.
A black and red aura completely enveloped the tennis ball.
However, this tennis match did not exceed Chitose's Brilliant Talent calculations. The moment he returned the ball, a cold voice also came out of his mouth.
17 goals!
"It's here! A Brilliant Talent and absolutely amazing preview!"
However, Tachibana Kippei paid no attention to the announcement. Before Chitose could finish speaking, Tachibana Kippei's figure appeared like a ghost at the landing point of the tennis ball.
He stretched his arm to its limit, and the tennis ball dented instantly like soft cotton the moment the racket collided with it.
Boom!
The tennis ball exploded from the racket in an instant, and the black and red Beast Aura completely tore apart the white shockwave that enveloped the ball.
Almost instantly, the tennis ball soared over the net and, like a cannonball, slammed into Chitose's half of the court.
"Well done, that's perfect, Kikkari!"
Chitose took a few quick steps and caught up with the tennis ball.
After adjusting his center of gravity and angle, he knew that Tachibana Kippei's strength exceeded his, so at the moment of receiving the ball, he used his experience to reduce most of the ball's force.
The tennis ball soared high into the air, flying directly over the net like a streak of light, and landed precisely at the angle between the baseline and the sideline on the left side of Tachibana Kippei.
The tennis ball landed!
At the same time, Tachibana Kippei appeared, and as soon as the tennis ball bounced up, he suddenly swung his racket!
"Rampaging Mighty Lion!"
Mental energy and the Beast Aura surged forth and poured into the tennis ball.
The next moment!
The instant Tachibana Kippei struck the ball, a roar like that of a lion suddenly echoed through the court. In Chitose's vision, a ferocious lion suddenly charged towards him!
Boom!
The lion flew straight through the net, its mouth emitting a foul stench, and arrived in the Chitose's half of the field.
"That's the ball!"
Chitose laughed and ran forward, not waiting for the tennis ball to land, but cutting directly into its path.
Surrounded by multicolored light and a white halo, Chitose exuded an unparalleled aura.
His well-trained, resilient muscles suddenly unleashed terrifying power as he met the oncoming tennis ball head-on with his racket.
Boom!
As the tennis ball broke through the net, Tachibana Kippei reappeared at the net.
"Explosive Ball Wild Dance!"
Before the tennis ball even hit the ground, Tachibana Kippei's entire body blazed like fire, veins bulging on his arms as he swung his racket, creating a whooshing sound.
Boom!
A sound like thunder resounded across the court, and the tennis ball instantly transformed into dozens of afterimages as it flew out.
"Kippei, your Explosive Ball Wild Dance has returned to its former glory!"
"Unfortunately, I already saw through this shot!" Chitose Senri's eyes shone with multicolored light.
On the field.
Tachibana Kippei and Chitose continued to rush forward, and each change of position was accompanied by a loud roar.
With their special understanding, the situation on the field became increasingly tense.
30:15.
40:30.
The score between Tachibana Kippei and Chitose Senri went back and forth.
"Rampaging Mighty Lion!"
When Tachibana Kippei unleashed his Rampaging Mighty Lion once again, Chitose's radiance shone even brighter.
"That's the ball!"
A gust of wind suddenly rose from Chitose's body.
Swing!
The tennis ball flew through the net in an instant!
Just as Tachibana Kippei was about to return the ball, it once again disappeared from his Tachibana Kippei face.
"Game! Chitose Senri scores, score 4:3."
"You've indeed become stronger, Chitose!"
Tachibana Kippei's gaze turned incredibly dangerous, and the Beast Aura that had been emanating from his body was completely withdrawn.
An extremely dangerous aura emanated from Tachibana Kippei. At this moment, his aura seemed to solidify into a tangible form, as if he had truly transformed into a lion about to pounce on his opponent.
"Kippei, your aura has become even more terrifying. Have you developed some incredible techniques?"
Chitose's breath hitched, and as the Beast Aura disappeared, he felt a sense of suffocation.
Boom!
With an incredibly terrifying roar, the tennis ball whistled out of Tachibana Kippei's racket and crashed directly into Chitose's half of the court.
This ball, when launched, was like Lion King surveying his domain, carrying a domineering and suffocatingly powerful pressure!
What a fantastic back-and-forth battle!
A hint of admiration flashed in Shiraishi's eyes. He greatly admired the two players in the match, whether for their skills, willpower, or tactical acumen.
Every attempt to score a ball conceals a corresponding countermeasure.
"Ju really overcame her inner demons..."
Feeling the activity of Tachibana Kippei's spiritual power, and watching him use Chitose's attack to subtly counterattack, Muneyoshi smiled happily.
Beside him, Hanamura Aoi crossed her arms and didn't answer, but the admiring smile on her face was undisguised.
Bang!
"Game 2, Tachibana Kippei scores, score 4-4."
Bang!
"Game 2, Tachibana Kippei scores, score 5-4."
In just ten minutes, with Tachibana Kippei perfectly mastering the Stage Two of the Path of Breath and unleashing a burst of power that perfectly combined with his mental strength, he won two consecutive rounds and took the match point!
"Whoosh~"
The intense competition made Chitose feel that breathing was becoming very difficult.
Physical strength wasn't his strong suit, but seeing that Tachibana Kippei was still breathing steadily, Chitose's rich experience told him that this was because his training volume was not as high as Tachibana Kippei's.
Especially after Tachibana Kippei unleashed his power, each attack was filled with strength and aura. Not only was the power immense, but the aura would also transform into the shape of a lion, impacting his spirit.
Under such circumstances, his absolute predictions were also disrupted, and the prolonged state of selflessness caused his physical strength to be depleted even faster.
Like a lion about to hunt, Tachibana Kippei had locked onto him firmly.
"It's over!"
Saeki Muneyoshi, observing Chitose's actions, immediately made his absolute prediction.
Bang!
The lion Tachibana Kippei, pounced on its prey at the last moment when it was exhausted, delivering a fatal blow!
"Game, Tachibana Kippei wins, score 6-4."
"Well played!"
"Kippei, you're amazing!"
The two people in front of the net stood still, smiling and extending their hands at the same time.
"How's everything going with you, Coach Watanabe? I have some training suggestions for Chitose."
Hanamura Aoi handed the notebook in her hand to Watanabe Osamu.
"Hmm, I also have some suggestions that might be helpful to Tachibana Kippei!"
Watanabe Osamu Hanamura Aoi the notes he had on Tachibana Kippei's various weaknesses and the corresponding improvement plans.
This was agreed upon before the match; they each kept a record of the other team's players, hoping to discover more of their shortcomings from another perspective.
Ultimately, the two can summarize these improvements, which will also help the team members improve.
Just as they were talking, the second match was about to begin.
"Next up is the second singles match, between Saeki Muneyoshi and Shiraishi Kuranosuke."
"Go, Minister!"
The people of Shitenhoji cheered on their captain.
Meanwhile, the members of Fudomine also cheered for Muneyoshi.
"Saeki Muneyoshi was born in Chiba on May 6th. He graduated from Chiba First Elementary School and is skilled in tennis and kendo..."
You should all be very clear about his strength. He was already terrifying when he challenged us last year, and this year he led Fudomine in the regional preliminaries, the Metropolitan Tournament, and the Kanto Tournament, playing singles.
Apart from Tezuka Kunimitsu against Rikkai Dai's Yukimura Seiichi and Seigaku's Kunimitsu Tezuka, they have won all other matches 6-0, remaining undefeated to date!
Konjiki Koharu pushed up her glasses and, through the lenses that shimmered with an eerie white light, revealed all of Saeki Muneyoshi's information!
"Hiss..."
Such an impressive record made Zaizen Hikaru gasp in surprise.
However, Muneyoshi on the court paid no attention to their discussions. Instead, he calmly watched this peer who had been protected by Hirazeni during his first year and prevented from playing against him.
"Shiraishi Kuranosuke, are you ready this time?!"
Muneyoshi smiled slightly as he looked at Shiraishi Kuranosuke, who was walking out from the opposite side.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time. Please take good care of me, Saeki -kun!"
Despite Muneyoshi's overwhelming aura, Shiraishi's expression remained unchanged, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
When they shook hands, there seemed to be a glint of electricity in Shiraishi's eyes.
"The match begins, with Shiraishi Kuranosuke serving. The first set is over."
With Watanabe Osamu's announcement, the match between Shiraishi and Muneyoshi officially began.
P. S.: I'm not the kind of person who cuts corners to 2,000 words per chapter. I try to write as much as I can, and besides, it's hard to do the work of two or three people in the past.
