Holding Nothing Back

As the announcement faded, the singles players from both sides simultaneously arrived at the center of the court.

Saeki Muneyoshi was burly and twice the size of Kite Eishiro, who was slender and tall. He was like a thick wall.

If you look at Muneyoshi from behind, you can't see any shadow of Kite Eishiro at all, as if he completely envelops the other person.

"Your kind of radiance is really annoying."

"You resorted to underhanded tactics right from the start? What's going on? Do you look that fierce?"

Kite spoke in a somewhat puzzling Okinawan slang, his left hand holding a black tennis racket resting on his shoulder.

It seems that this is a way to help him get rid of the psychological shadow that Saeki Muneyoshi has cast on him.

"Are you done talking? The more you say, the more it reveals your fear, Kite. You're already scared before the competition even starts?"

Muneyoshi slightly lifted his eyelids, his hawk-like brown eyes filled with a chilling light, his sharp gaze sweeping over Kite's entire body.

Speaking of which, Kite Eishiro is a character quite different from everyone else.

Based on his actions, the word "two-faced" perfectly describes him.

Especially his performance in the National Tournament or during the U17 Training Camp in the original work.

He left an impression that was both composed and wicked.

He's quite cunning and unpredictable, but at times serious and cautious.

This kind of personality is very similar to the main Japan will; he is a culmination of Japan character traits.

Muneyoshi didn't say anything more to him; with a snap, their hands clasped tightly together.

"For or against?"

Personally, I prefer the opposite.

"Good..."

As Muneyoshi's racket spun on the ground, the game of guessing who would go first began.

A few seconds later, the referee, having received the result, waved his hand toward the Kite.

The Kite, having won the right to serve, smiled and returned to his backcourt.

"The singles match begins, a single set to decide the winner. First, Kite Eishiro from Higa Junior High serves!"

Swish!

With a flick of his Kite, the mustard-yellow ball soared into the air.

Tread!

His body also started moving almost at the same time, bending his knees and pushing off the ground. This movement was without the slightest hesitation, as if he had done it hundreds or thousands of times, flowing smoothly like water.

The explosive power of his entire body was integrated by the tension from the leap as he bounced off his Kite.

"Big Explosion!"

Bang!

No sooner had the referee finished speaking than Kite's slender, wheat-colored arm pressed down, and a resounding thud echoed from the opposite half of the Muneyoshi.

The dappled light and shadow cast by the racket seemed to converge at a single point in the Kite at that moment. After a brief silence, a deafeningly loud sound rang out from his net.

Boom!

Smoke and dust billowed in the air, and a golden streak of light cleaved through the surrounding dust and sped away.

Both are Big Explosion, but in the hands of the Kite and in the hands of the Renji Hitoshi, they are practically two different ball techniques.

Compared to the dispersed power of Renji Hitoshi's shot, Kite's strike concentrated all the light, making the tennis ball seem to transform into a ball of golden light, but it was still a little short.

An ordinary person cannot afford to be distracted in the face of such an attack; it requires both speed and power.

After flying off the Kite racket, it landed at an extremely high speed on the inside corner of Saeki Muneyoshi's receiving area.

Thump!

The tennis ball made a stunning sound as it hit the ground.

This is a serve that lets you tell just by listening to the sound of it—you can tell how heavy and powerful the ball is.

"This pose is the same as the fat guy's at the beginning, is it really that powerful?"

Ishida Tetsu was slightly surprised and looked at the gloomy figure opposite him.

Although Kite Eishiro cleverly took advantage of the time difference in the referee's announcement of the starting lineup, the power of this shot was undeniable.

"This level of force is something that most people's wrists simply cannot withstand."

Looking at the gusts of air surging to both sides, Ibu Shinji's eyes widened.

It's just a pity...

Kite Eishiro encountered their department head.

"He actually managed to figure out some techniques for Sweet Spot Burst through his own exploration..."

Muneyoshi watched the Kite's attack, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Those who can break the Twenty Limit on their own during junior high school are truly not to be underestimated.

Although the sound produced by the Kite striking the ball was not as booming as that of Renji Hitoshi.

However, anyone who truly understands and has ample experience with power bursts can see that the Kite concentrates all its power into a single point for explosive release.

Although this point is not perfect yet, this powerful explosive force combined with the Kite's imperfect Sweet Spot Technique.

This ball was several times more powerful and penetrating than Renji Hitoshi's Big Explosion.

As teammates and members of the Kite, they were certainly well aware of this.

"The Minister's Big Bang is the strongest!"

Having regained consciousness, Renji Hitoshi lay on her back watching the game on the field, her small eyes filled with excitement.

Not only him, Higa Junior High at that moment had hope in their eyes.

Everyone at Higa Junior High was craning their necks, quite certain that even if Muneyoshi could catch the ball, it wouldn't be easy.

Tap tap tap!

Saeki Muneyoshi moved.

With each step, a stride forward unfolds, like the flickering of light and shadow.

Then, with a speed imperceptible to ordinary people, it suddenly appeared at the spot where the tennis ball had landed and stopped.

A faint light flashed, and before anyone could see clearly, Muneyoshi had already swung his racket.

This seemingly Big Bang attack was completely ignored by him, and it didn't even cause a ripple in his net.

The misty, dark light dissipated, and everything returned to clarity, but beneath the calm surface, a terrifying golden light lurked, sending chills down one's spine.

The next instant!

Bang! Sizzle...

A dazzling golden light flashed across the net, and the Kite felt his eyes dazzled by the golden light.

An intense sense of danger flashed by, and before he could even register what was happening, the tennis ball had already bounced off and hit the backcourt wall.

Only the spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards from the ground, and the mustard-yellow ball rolling behind him, constantly emitting blue smoke, clearly told him that what had just happened was not a hallucination.

"Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 0-15."

Meanwhile, after the replay, the referee's voice faded.

Only then did the members of Higa Junior High recover from the shock they had just experienced.

Kai Yujiro had been leaning forward against the railing, straightened up, a rare occurrence for him. His carefree, nonchalant smile vanished, and he became serious.

As for the other user of the Big Explosion, Renji Hitoshi was completely stunned. He looked at Saeki Muneyoshi as if he were looking at a monster.

The Kite unleashed Big Bang even more powerful than his own, yet it had absolutely no effect?

Also, what was that thing that guy just attacked?

On the court, Kite Eishiro tightened his grip on his racket; the death-like fear he felt at that moment was no illusion.

"I don't believe you can keep using that trick. Try it again!"

Kite was not intimidated by Muneyoshi's attack. He went to the left service court, and as the tennis ball flew through the air, dust rose again.

A tremendous sound rang out, and a golden streak of light cleaved through the surrounding dust and smoke, speeding away once again.

"Still not giving up?"

Muneyoshi narrowed his eyes, a dazzling golden light flashing within them. He shifted to the side, his left hand making a feint, golden rays swirling around it, while his right hand, holding the racket, swung forward once more.

Bang!

The explosive sound, like a thunderclap, reverberated across the field. Just like the previous goal, the Kite's dangerous aura struck the hearts of the spectators in the frontcourt.

A violent gust of air swept around the racket, but Muneyoshi's figure remained as straight as a pine tree.

In terms of sheer power, the Kite's Big Explosion is nowhere near the top among the opponents he has faced.

Whoosh... Boom!

Muneyoshi unleashed a powerful strike, and the terrifying threat of death struck again. A whooshing sound whistled past Kite's side.

Jump smash serves like the Big Explosion have a major weakness: if the opponent seizes the opportunity, they can launch a quick counterattack.

Therefore, the process of needing to land and stabilize one's body before chasing the ball becomes an undeniable flaw.

A heavy artillery attack based solely on power will indeed be countered by Speed Extreme.

This is also why top players on the World Tournament rarely use this type of serve.

Unless you're Mach like Ochi, your serve is guaranteed to score.

Otherwise, such a serve is unacceptable.

"Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 30:0."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Hirakoba also dropped his playful expression at this moment; it was truly astonishing.

At the same time, the members of Higa Junior High, who had been all smiles and ready to cheer for Kite, fell silent.

The Big Explosion that the Kite's powerful serve was returned without even causing a ripple was somewhat unacceptable to them.

Perhaps the calmest person in all of Higa Junior High was Kite Eishiro.

After all, he had been taught a lesson by Muneyoshi more than a year ago and had witnessed Muneyoshi's formidable strength.

He knew all along that he couldn't defeat Muneyoshi with brute force alone.

"You really show no mercy, but that suits me just the way it is. Since this tactic won't work, then..."
