Kite's Execution Method
Everything around the stadium made no difference to Muneyoshi.
After all, he's someone who's seen the World Tournament; this kind of scene is insignificant to him.
He was currently imparting his insights and experience on key points for world-class competitions to the people around him.
"The biggest difference between the World Tournament and our usual matches is that it's not a single game that decides the outcome, so managing your energy is especially important."
When it comes to physical strength, he suffered quite a bit in that area during his first year.
"When you encounter an opponent, you need to understand their style from the very beginning, quickly grasp their weaknesses, or find points that can be exploited."
"If you lack confidence in your own physical strength, or don't understand the extent of your opponent's stamina, dragging the game into a prolonged match is extremely unwise."
"Never underestimate any opponent on the World Tournament stage!"
As Muneyoshi shared his experience with them, the middle school students around them nodded from time to time. When Muneyoshi mentioned physical strength, he even glanced at Atobe.
Of everyone here, besides him, Atobe is currently the strongest in terms of physical strength.
We are not afraid even if we get bogged down in a protracted war.
However, for others, playing one game might not be a problem, and they can adapt to playing two games, but it's hard to say what will happen when they play the third game.
Especially when all three sets were very close.
Muneyoshi was also giving them a heads-up.
"The doubles match between the South Africa team and the Japan team will now begin."
"The Japan team, consisting of Hirazeni (first year of high school) and Hara Tetsuya (third year of junior high school), will face off against the South Africa team, consisting of Lloyd Harris (second year of high school) and Becker (third year of junior high school)."
"Please bring both players to the stage."
"Wow, it's Minister Hirazeni and Minister Hara Tetsuya!"
"Really?!"
"The ministerial team from Shitenhoji?!"
"Come on!"
The people from Shitenhoji in the surrounding stands gasped in surprise when they saw the contestant's name.
Their voices attracted the attention of other schools in the area, and other contestants also learned about this former captain duo from Shitenhoji.
"Hirazeni, Minister Hara Tetsuya and Minister Hara Tetsuya!"
In the rest area, Shiraishi Kuranosuke looked both excited and worried. To see the two department heads appear together again felt like a dream come true for him.
But that's also because of the strength of the opposing team.
"Oh my, Shiraishi, you're now the head of Shitenhoji!"
"Don't worry, Shiraishi, our original comedy duo will definitely shoot right through their hearts!"
It's the same recipe and flavor; when he's with familiar people, Hirazeni reverts to his playful personality.
However, their antics and laughter did not dispel the gloom in the hearts of the high school students.
Lloyd Harris, the number two player on the South Africa team, was originally one of the players leading the South Africa team.
They already knew this information before the match, but they didn't know the exact level of their opponent's strength.
"I hope both of them can perform well..."
Even these junior high school students were silently praying in their hearts.
However, their prayers seemed to be of little use, and in less than an hour, Hirazeni and Hara Tetsuya were defeated.
"South Africa wins the game, 6-1."
"In the first round of the Four-Nation Exchange Tournament, the South Africa team won the doubles match between the South Africa and Japan teams with a score of 6-3, 6-1, maintaining a perfect record of two wins and no losses."
Although the Japan Team lost, the audience still applauded them.
"With one win and one loss, South Africa's third singles player is a high school student, and they've just had a junior high school student on the field. So, they'll need at least two more junior high school students in their remaining matches."
"Since their captain isn't playing, then middle school students will definitely be playing in the next singles match 2 and doubles match 1. This is our chance!"
Saeki Muneyoshi gathered the two doubles players who were originally on Court 3 together with Kite and Tezuka.
The doubles team wasn't very strong, so Muneyoshi had the lowest expectations for them. He was more inclined to trust Kite and Tezuka than them.
"Kite, are you confident you can beat him in the next match?"
Muneyoshi turned his gaze to Kite Eishiro. After a month of training at the training camp, Kite's aura was much stronger than when he first entered the camp.
Although the relationship between the two was certainly not friendly, it was even fraught with conflict.
However, since they don't mention it to each other, given Kite's personality, he will definitely keep all of this to himself and only rebel when his strength is enough to threaten Muneyoshi.
Muneyoshi didn't seem to care about this.
They're all young people; it would be abnormal for them to be all together peacefully.
Seeing the gazes of those around him and the scrutinizing look in Muneyoshi's eyes, Kite coldly snorted, "I won't need you to tell me!"
After saying that, he picked up his racket and walked towards the court.
"The second singles match will now begin, featuring Kite Eishiro (second-year national team player) from the Japan team versus Anderson (third-year national team player) from the South Africa team."
"Oh, so it's Eishiro who's playing singles second place. He's doing a great job!"
"Go, Minister!"
Upon seeing Kite's appearance, the students of Higa Junior High, led by Hirakoba Rin, began to cheer him on.
The Kite in the field naturally heard these cheers as well. Seeing the entire field filled with a dense crowd, a surge of pride welled up in his heart.
"A world-class competition, huh? That sounds really good..."
Arriving at the net, Kite looked at the big guy and strong physique on the opposite side of the court and couldn't help but gently push up his glasses.
A hint of danger flashed in his eyes. Such excellent material would be a great thing to use to refine his newly learned Execution Style fighting technique.
Anderson, on the other side, also noticed the unfriendly look. He snorted softly; they were both middle school students, and he was even older than the other.
Therefore, he is very confident about this match.
The two players guessed which team would finish first, giving South Africa the right to start.
Reaching the baseline, Anderson gripped the bouncing ball with his broad hands and tossed it high into the air.
Boom!
A terrifying sound, like a cannonball firing, suddenly exploded in the venue. The next second, an orange ball appeared in the Kite's half of the court.
The tennis ball forcefully tore through the air in its path, creating a surging shockwave. This terrifying power seemed even more dangerous than the Big Explosion he unleashed at the National Tournament.
"Heh heh, a big guy who only knows brute force is useless."
Kite Eishiro sneered inwardly. He had seen and fought many fighters who relied purely on strength in the training camp, and he already had a plan in mind.
With a quick Shrinking Ground Technique, instantly arriving at the landing point of the tennis ball. Gripping his racket with both hands, he swung it fiercely at the point where the ball bounced.
"This kind of powerful tennis can be neutralized by using the sweet spot..."
The thought flashed through my mind: Sweet Spot Technique was one of the biggest gains for these junior high school students from this training camp.
It is remarkably effective whether you are dealing with or hitting a powerful tennis ball.
However, the very next second, the instant the tennis ball hit the racket, his previously confident and composed expression suddenly changed drastically.
Boom!
Snap~
At the last moment, Kite dodged to the side, and a dull thud came from the wall behind him. The ball sent his racket flying far away.
A few beads of cold sweat trickled down his temples, Kite glared at the big guy across the court with a gloomy expression.
He hadn't expected that this big guy's attack wasn't just about power, but also included other variations in force; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to knock the racket away from his hands.
"Hmph, it seems Kite I said before. No opponent in the World Championship should be underestimated. It seems he's been having too much luck lately..."
In the rest area on the sidelines, Muneyoshi frowned when he saw this problem occur with the very first ball.
"They were indeed a bit too arrogant, and the other side took advantage of their weakness!"
Tezuka nodded in support, but they didn't panic; Kite's strength was far more than that.
Meanwhile, Anderson, on the opposite side of the court, sneered when he saw Kite's gloomy face.
At that moment, his nervousness towards the Japan Team lessened considerably.
Anderson serves again from the left service court.
This time, Kite learned his lesson and bent over in a half-squat, his posture clearly much more serious than before.
Toss the ball, jump, generate power, and prepare to shoot.
With a light step, a powerful burst of force poured out from Anderson's arm.
With a loud bang, another explosion rang out.
Bang!
The ball was heading straight for the inside corner where the Kite could receive the serve.
It remains an overwhelmingly powerful offensive force.
With the first ball setting the stage, Anderson was very confident, and the Kite's physique couldn't defend against his serve.
However, just as he was feeling smug, he heard a whoosh and a roar from the opposite side. At the same time, the tennis ball that had landed in the Kite's half of the court suddenly turned into a golden light and appeared in front of him.
"What are you so smug about? Execution Method — the Great Explosion Strike!"
Thump!
The tennis ball bounced back and landed with a tremendous thud, but before Anderson could react, it was already hurtling straight toward his stomach.
"What?"
Anderson, who had casually assumed a defensive stance, paused for a moment, then looked up and saw the dangerous and malicious expression on the face of Kite Eishiro.
"This guy, he actually plays such dangerous tennis..."
A flicker of panic crossed Anderson's eyes, and he raised his racket to block the ball in front of him.
However, the next second, the Big Explosion impact slammed heavily onto the racket. The racket couldn't stop it at all, and the tennis ball bounced off the racket, heading straight for Anderson's stomach.
"Ah..."
A barely audible sound rang out, and Anderson gritted his teeth. The match between the two had entered its most intense phase from the very beginning.
At that moment, even the air on the field seemed to become scorching hot.
