A Similar Turn of Events

"Game, Tanegashima Shūji, 6-0!"

"The singles match 3 is over. Tanegashima Shūji wins on Court 3 with a score of 6-3, 6-0!"

As the junior high school students lifted the exhausted Tezuka Kunimitsu off the court, the referee then announced loudly.

Tezuka Kunimitsu's crushing defeat silenced the previously confident middle school students.

It's worth noting that it was Tezuka Kunimitsu who was lifted off the court.

Which middle school student who comes here doesn't know how powerful Tezuka Kunimitsu is?

But even such a player, who could be considered one of the strongest among their junior high school students, was surprisingly unable to put up much of a fight when facing Tanegashima Shūji.

This was unacceptable to the group of middle school students who had always been victorious.

"It seems that Stadium 3 is far stronger than we imagined!"

In the players' area of Court 5, Yukimura Seiichi looked grave, and the people around him were also filled with vigilance.

"Tch, let me see their strength. Sanada, let's go!"

Akutsu stood up, picked up his racket, and walked towards the court. Behind him, Sanada Genichirou also picked up his racket and followed.

Although Tezuka suffered a crushing defeat, it didn't intimidate them; instead, it fueled their fighting spirit against the high school students on Court 3.

On the sidelines, the middle school students fell silent, while the high school students cheered. Only a very few people noticed the change in Tezuka just now.

These people, of course, are Oni Jūjirō, Tanegashima Shūji, Irie Kanata, Ōmagari Ryūji, and Ochi Gekko, who are closer to the court.

Their senses were incredibly sharp; although Tezuka's brilliance hadn't fully manifested and hadn't had a chance to bloom, it was extinguished by Tanegashima.

But that essence is absolutely real.

Tezuka Kunimitsu took the most solid step on the path of selflessness.

Meanwhile, in the stands, Saeki Muneyoshi and Tokugawa Kazuya also noticed the change in Tezuka at the very last moment.

Compared to the joy in Saeki Muneyoshi's eyes, Tokugawa Kazuya, who was standing next to him, was somewhat shocked.

His eyes widened in shock.

What they considered impossible actually happened to Tezuka Kunimitsu.

He glanced at Saeki Muneyoshi beside him with disbelief. "Muneyoshi, was all of this within your expectations?"

Muneyoshi smiled slightly but did not reply.

Moreover, his gaze was not on Tezuka at this moment, but was fixed on Tanegashima Shūji.

If you look closely, you can see a glint of something sinister constantly flashing in his eyes.

Muneyoshi wasn't surprised that Tezuka possessed such talent; what concerned him more was Tanegashima's performance.

He was currently carefully recalling all of Tanegashima Shūji's hitting techniques.

This was the first time he had witnessed him take action since last year's World Tournament.

In addition to his innate wrist talent, which he had always used, Muneyoshi also discovered...

The speed aspect, which was originally a weakness of the Tanegashima and could be used as a breakthrough point, has now reached a world-class level.

However, Tanegashima did not pursue Speed Extreme.

He entered this path more passively than actively, in order to minimize his weaknesses.

Moreover, from a normal perspective, Tanegashima Shūji's tennis wasn't actually as fast as it appeared to be from players with Speed Extreme.

"Is it that little throwing motion he makes every time he swings his racket?" Muneyoshi's eyes lit up, as if he had figured out Tanegashima's method.

"Senior Tanegashima really has some ideas. From the very beginning, he combined two or three paths."

By imbuing the tennis ball with the power of nothingness through a flick of the wrist, and then striking it with absolute speed, each ordinary return gives the illusion of a time lag.

Although Muneyoshi understood the secret behind Tanegashima's methods, he couldn't learn them; this was Tanegashima's own path.

It belongs solely to him.

"So, does that mean the other types of 'nothingness' on Tanegashima are also under development or being perfected?"

Thinking of this, Muneyoshi looked down at the white-haired figure and suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Already Extinguished Nothing, Unborn Nothing mutual non-existence, and Will Not Be Nothing!

Muneyoshi, thinking about the abilities that Tanegashima Shūji would possess in the future, once again felt the slowness of his own strength improvement.

While Muneyoshi was deep in thought, the game on the field continued.

The second match was a doubles game.

For the junior high school students on Court 5, the dream team of Akutsu Jin and Sanada Genichirou was sent out.

Upon seeing the figure with a white headscarf and a small mustache emerging from the No. 3 court, Muneyoshi knew that the person had already gone far away.

With Ōmagari Ryūji's strength, even if he only used six-tenths of his power, Sanada and Akutsu would not be his match.

He only needs one person to suppress Sanada and Akutsu.

Moreover, such a showdown would have happened in the third year of school in the original timeline; it's just happening earlier now.

Moreover, it was during his match against Ōmagari Ryūji that Sanada mastered the Black Dragon First Slash.

I wonder if Sanada will succeed today...

Thinking of this, and seeing that Omagari looked listless, Muneyoshi jumped down from the stands and walked towards the rest area of Stadium No. 3.

"Senior Omagari, you'd better cheer up! This match is all up to you!"

Saeki Muneyoshi approached Omagari from a short distance away, smiled, and handed him another racket before speaking.

"Muneyoshi, please spare me."

Omagari, who originally wanted to slack off, knew that he couldn't go back on his promise after seeing Muneyoshi's expression.

"Senior Omagari, you promised me!"

"Alright, fine, I'll play with these kids for a bit! It'll loosen up my muscles!"

Omagari scratched his head, took the racket Muneyoshi handed him, and with two rackets in his hands, a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't underestimate these junior high school students. They are all quite strong. If you underestimate them, you'll suffer a great loss, Omagari!"

At this moment, Irie to the side, also said with a smile.

"Hmph, Irie, whether they're strong or not, I'll personally verify it!"

Omagari has a clear standard in mind regarding whether someone is qualified to be his opponent, and if the other party does not meet his requirements, he will have his own way of dealing with it.

On the field, Sanada and Akutsu stood side by side in the frontcourt.

"Sanada! The other guy seems pretty strong."

Akutsu naturally gleaned information from the reactions of the surrounding high school students when they saw Ōmagari Ryūji enter the arena.

"Hmph, they're just opponents, no matter how strong they are. Let's crush them, Akutsu!"

Sanada's brows furrowed with menace; the brutal training at the camp made Sanada appear even more sinister.

Please give me your guidance!

Please give me your guidance!

At the net, Ōmagari Ryūji calmly shook hands with Sanada.

"Hey, what's up with you middle schoolers? This training camp isn't a daycare. These losers are utterly useless; we actually got you guys onto court number five."

"You!"

Omagari's dismissive attitude ignited Sanada and Akutsu's anger, and they said coldly, "We'll use tennis to change your mind!"

Omagari glanced at them indifferently, held his racket with both hands, and went to the baseline. "Hey, all you do is serve and receive, then just retreat!"

"Yes!"
