Saeki Muneyoshi and Rokkaku Middle School

Kurikawa Park Gardens.

On the way, the group from Fudomine happened to run into the group from Rokkaku Middle School who were coming from the other direction.

"Old Man, I look forward to your guidance this time!"

Muneyoshi politely Old Man to Rokkaku's coach.

Although he wasn't at his school, his father had taught him a great deal, so Muneyoshi always held his Old Man in high esteem.

The Old Man knelt behind the Rokkaku group, seemingly never showing his legs. His long, thin white beard twitched, and although he looked old and frail, he appeared to be in good spirits.

Upon hearing this, the Old Man opened his cloudy eyes, looked at Saeki Muneyoshi with a smile, and then said calmly.

"Muneyoshi, it seems you've made another breakthrough! Truly remarkable, a hero indeed emerges from among the young! Even Nanjirou at your age didn't possess your strength."

"Old Man, you flatter me. I dare not compare myself to the legendary Nanjirou."

Muneyoshi smiled and bowed again. Having known his father for so long, he understood his Old Man's personality very well; he didn't praise people casually, but he was also very reserved.

Muneyoshi's humble attitude made his Old Man nod in approval. He had thought that Muneyoshi's breakthrough, with the dark side once again overpowering the spiritual side, would make him manic again.

Surprisingly, that didn't happen.

For Muneyoshi to possess such strength at his age and still maintain such a humble attitude requires not only exceptional mental cultivation but also his inherent qualities.

This made the Old Man's opinion of Muneyoshi even higher.

"Nanjirou should be back soon. I can write a letter and introduce you to him."

Old Man suddenly spoke up.

"Is Natsuechi -Echizen Nanjirō- senpai going back to Japan?"

Although Muneyoshi wasn't entirely sure when Nanjirou returned to Japan, it was definitely before Ryoma's return; judging by the timeline, it was probably around this time.

"That guy."

The Old Man fell silent as he spoke. Muneyoshi looked up and saw that his Old Man was clearly lost in memories.

After a long silence, the Old Man sighed softly, "I'm sorry, Muneyoshi, as people get older, they always start thinking about the past."

You're too kind.

Muneyoshi smiled slightly, guessing that his Old Man was thinking about some things that happened with Nanjirou back then.

Just like Mifune Nyudo, he also had some complaints about Nanjirou's sudden disappearance, which caused the Japan tennis world to fall into a 20-year slump.

"Let's go, the competition is about to start. I hope to see a great performance from you today!"

"They're here! The Fudomine people are here!"

"It's actually Saeki Muneyoshi! Has he rejoined the team?"

As Fudomine's distinctive team uniform, unlike any other team's, appeared in the park, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Leading the procession was Saeki Muneyoshi, a man with a smile on his face and an air of unwavering confidence that made it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

This year marks Saeki Muneyoshi's second year at junior high school, and also Fudomine's first year of fame. He aims to leave his mark on Fudomine's history and the world of Japan high school tennis in Japan.

The constant stares from the surrounding crowd did not affect the state of mind of the Fudomine members.

Upon arriving at the registration desk, Muneyoshi handed over the list of participants for this round, and was then led by staff to the venue for today's competition.

"Muneyoshi, I knew you wouldn't miss the match against us!"

The handsome Saeki Kojiro has become even more dashing since entering his second year of high school. At this moment, he has changed from his usual gentle and warm temperament to a sharp and edgy one.

"Kojiro, you can talk to me when you get closer!"

After hugging his cousin, Muneyoshi retorted mercilessly.

"Don't worry, that's natural."

Saeki Kojiro shrugged. Although victory seemed hopeless, their Rokkaku tennis team was known for its boldness. As long as there was no regret in their hearts, it would be a wonderful match.

"The National Tournament group stage is about to begin, with the doubles match between Fudomine Junior High and Rokkaku Middle School. Players, please come to the stage."

Not long after, the referee's voice came through the loudspeaker.

This also marks the official start of the second round of the group stage of this National Tournament.

Please give me your guidance!

Please give me your guidance!

At the net, Kamio Akira Ishida Tetsu, Kuroba Harukaze Amene Hikaru hands in a very friendly manner.

Because of Muneyoshi's relationship with Saeki, the two teams have a good relationship and know each other.

Kuroba is already a second-year student, while Amene Hikaru, like Kamio and Ishida, is a first-year student who just joined Rokkaku Middle School this year.

"The match begins, a decisive set, Rokkaku Middle School Amene Hikaru's serve."

As the referee, who had climbed onto the high chair, announced the start of the match, the spectators outside the arena immediately fell silent.

"Alright! I've finally met Fudomine, Saeki. Let me show you what I'm made of!"

Although he was only a first-grader and it was his first time participating in National Tournament, Amene Hikaru did not show any particular emotion on his face;

But his increasingly violently beating heart and gushing blood transmitted his growing agitation to every strand of his hair.

Only those very familiar with Amene Hikaru knew that he was extremely excited at this moment.

As the only freshman in Rokkaku Middle School, and also the only freshman in Rokkaku Middle School in the future.

In the original work, Amene Hikaru's talent was actually the strongest at Rokkaku Middle School.

After all, he single-handedly stormed into the Hyotei Academy, achieving the remarkable feat of defeating a hundred people single-handedly with an undefeated record.

He is the only Chinese player in the Prince of Tennis world to achieve this feat, which is why he has received numerous challenges since the National Tournament!

This demonstrates not only his formidable strength, but also his exceptional stamina, as well as his considerable power and spirit, aside from his slightly inferior speed.

If it weren't for Muneyoshi's intervention, Kojiro might not even be as good as him now.

His partner, Kuroba Harukaze, was the same.

It can be said that they are the strongest doubles team at Rokkaku Middle School, and one of the few in the original work who will be able to enter the training camp in the future.

During the time Muneyoshi spent training with his Old Man in Chiba, besides Kojiro, Amene Hikaru also bothered him quite a bit.

Muneyoshi knew their strength better than anyone, which was why he insisted on having Kamio and Ishida in the doubles match 2.

Kamio and Ishida have experienced so many defeats before. Now, they are facing another group of opponents of similar strength. If they can overcome them, they might really undergo a transformation.

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"
