Assassin Makes Their Move
The first game ended quickly, leaving some viewers who had expected a fierce battle between the two teams' captains to be somewhat disappointed.
Judging from the result of the first game, it was clear to everyone that there was a huge gap between Kite and Saeki Muneyoshi.
At this moment, many people thought of Saeki Muneyoshi's previous rivals.
Most of them were department heads from various schools, but these department heads, who were considered to be from National Level strong schools and were ranked in different tiers by many people, gradually became equal to Saeki Muneyoshi.
It seemed as if all of them had become equal in strength in front of Saeki Muneyoshi.
The same was true for Kite after the change of scenes; the physical pain and mental pressure continued to erode him, making it difficult for him to concentrate.
In the second game, it was Saeki Muneyoshi's turn to serve, and he certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
Swish!
With a flick of his wrist, Saeki Muneyoshi tossed the tennis ball overhead, then took a step, bent his knees, and launched himself into the air, smashing the ball down with his raised racket.
Bang!
In the blink of an eye, the tennis ball leaped and moved, already reaching the Kite's backhand area.
"ACE, Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 15-0."
Taking advantage of the momentary lapse in concentration in Kite, Saeki Muneyoshi scored directly with his serve.
"Kite, you dare to get distracted while competing with me?"
"We can't keep thinking about the first game. If we don't concentrate, we probably won't have a chance at all!"
Kite didn't answer, but instead patted his cheeks and squatted down on the left side near the bottom corner.
"You recovered pretty quickly, well then, I'll continue!"
Saeki Muneyoshi tossed the ball high into the air again, bent his knees, arched his back, and slammed it down with his arm.
Tennis balls travel very fast.
Although it was just an ordinary Aerial High Volley, in Muneyoshi's hands it possessed astonishing speed and terrifying power.
The ball went directly into the left side of the Kite, and bounced up towards his backhand return area.
However, for Kite, whose mind was completely focused, this ball was within reach.
Bang!
The racket hits the tennis ball.
Kite's wrist suddenly trembled, and the power contained in the tennis ball burst forth.
"It's so heavy?"
His expression suddenly changed, and the elation he felt from catching up with the tennis ball in the face of Muneyoshi's serve vanished without a trace at that moment.
The Kite reacted quickly, gripping the racket with both hands, trying to use his right foot for support, twisting his waist to generate power, and then returning the ball.
However.
Clatter
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the dark blue tennis racket in his hand was shaken and fell to the ground.
The minister actually had his racket knocked away by a single blow?
Seeing that Kite's racket was knocked out of his hand when he returned Saeki Muneyoshi's serve, the Higa Junior High team members were completely speechless and fell silent.
As bystanders, they couldn't possibly feel the power of that serve. Although it looked strong, it couldn't possibly be that powerful, could it?
Kite Eishiro loosened his wrists slightly before turning around to pick up his racket that had fallen to the ground.
Because he had his back turned, Muneyoshi was unaware that the emotions swirling in Kite's eyes were growing increasingly cold and sinister.
He is the Okinawan assassin, Kite Eishiro.
If he were to be so easily defeated, then his journey leading Higa Junior High to this point would be over.
"I am Kite Eishiro, who will use any means necessary to achieve victory!"
Only the right methods can inspire awe.
Then, for the next few balls, he still didn't understand the mystery behind them.
Compared to Muneyoshi's other ball skills, this shot can be summed up in one word: sinking!
Especially when he tried to fight back, the mustard tennis ball in the net seemed to turn into a lead ball.
No amount of Power and Technique can shake it.
Bang!
"Saeki Muneyoshi scores, 40-0."
Bang!
"Game Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi wins this game, 2-0!"
In just a few minutes.
Saeki Muneyoshi easily held his serve.
His nonchalant demeanor dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the students in Higa Junior High.
"This kind of pressure is exactly the same as when I faced him directly back then. Could it be that I haven't made any progress at all in the past year?"
"Since conventional methods aren't working, then..."
Kite Eishiro gently lifted the left side of his glasses frame with the back of his right hand.
"Is Eishiro about to make his move? His eyes have changed!"
Hirakoba and Kai, who were familiar with the Kite, saw his solemn expression, as if he had completely transformed into an "assassin," and already knew what was about to happen.
On the service line.
Kite Eishiro gripped the tennis ball tightly in his arm, the sweat from his palms already soaking the ball.
After suffering two crushing defeats.
Saeki Muneyoshi has once again left a psychological scar on his mind. He is very familiar with this kind of situation, having experienced it earlier last year as well.
However, he was weaker that time.
Swish!
After glancing at Saeki Muneyoshi on the opposite court, Kite tossed the tennis ball into the air and then unleashed a powerful jumping swing!
Unleashing another Big Explosion.
Boom!
A flash of light from the ball!
The tennis ball, carrying tremendous force, struck Muneyoshi directly in the cheek.
Bang!
Facing the incoming tennis ball, Muneyoshi's expression remained unchanged. Without moving, he simply swung his racket and intercepted the ball right in front of his face.
"Oh!"
Seeing the Kite's attack, Muneyoshi almost laughed out of anger.
Although he knew that Higa Junior High's ruthless practices were largely due to Kite, he still didn't expect them to be so blatant.
"Serving error!"
"Higa Junior High's Kite Eishiro, serve again! Hopefully, you won't make that dangerous move again next time!"
The referee on the platform gave Kite a deep look and issued him a warning.
What?!
"My player just has terrible ball control, and there's no rule against service errors in the game!"
Seeing that the Kite was starting to use his methods, Saotome Harumi had been frowning the whole time, suddenly broke into a smile. Upon hearing the referee's warning, she even started to provoke the referee.
"If you're still afraid of getting injured during a match, then I suggest you give up on the match as soon as possible!"
Saotome Harumi completely ignored the referee's warning and even made a series of outrageous remarks to Muneyoshi.
"Tennis is not a child's game!"
"Eishiro!"
"Don't make a mistake on the next point! Otherwise, the opponent will score directly, since a game is only four points!"
After provoking the referee and Muneyoshi, Saotome Harumi gave an order to Kite, her voice filled with malice.
Four points, one service fault.
Saotome Harumi was telling Kite Eishiro Saeki Muneyoshi the remaining seven balls.
"I don't need your interference!"
However, Kite did not appreciate Saotome Harumi's "kindness" and silently walked to the service line.
"Hateful!"
"That guy from Higa Junior High is doing this on purpose!"
Upon hearing the conversation between Saotome Harumi and the other person, the Fudomine players on the sidelines shouted angrily.
Not only them, but the audience outside the venue also found the actions of these students from Higa Junior High extremely distasteful.
However, if Saotome Harumi were to take such matters to heart, she wouldn't have instructed Kite Eishiro to quickly injure Saeki Muneyoshi.
This is perfectly normal for Higa Junior High.
Kite Eishiro has been limiting his teammates' performance and has been holding back until now, which Saotome believes has already caused him to miss many opportunities.
