The Test (Conclusion)

Smiling at everyone, Muneyoshi said with some regret, "Ralph, it seems you were right, you really didn't show your true strength in the exchange match against us!"

"If those players had played, the game probably wouldn't have turned out the way it did!"

Muneyoshi wasn't just talking nonsense; the people here are all very strong.

Regardless of whether it's Dudu Aubondo, who is known as the Birdman.

He was still referred to as the doctor, and his deputy was Alan Hopkins.

Even Ralph Reinhardt himself, their strength is such that the Japan Team simply cannot cope with them unless they unleash their true power.

Reinhardt was quite satisfied with his teammates. His gentle gaze swept over them again, and he smiled as he said:

"You're right, Muneyoshi, they are all truly trustworthy teammates!"

"No matter where you are, true teammates are always trustworthy, and these two beside me are definitely trustworthy teammates!"

Along the way, Muneyoshi only brought Keith and Lin Xiu with him and did not take the initiative to introduce them.

One reason was that they couldn't find a suitable topic to start with, and another was that Reinhardt's attention was focused on them at the time.

Another reason is that the other party did not bring it up on their own initiative.

Hearing Ralph's reflections, Muneyoshi felt the time was right and introduced his teammates accordingly.

"Oh?"

Ralph, being such a clever man, immediately understood the unspoken meaning, and his gaze quickly sharpened from gentle to piercing.

He definitely knew about Keith and Lin Xiu, after all, the National Tournament had only been going on for less than two months.

However, because they weren't selected for the exchange competition roster, Reinhardt didn't pay as much attention to them as he did to the other junior high school students.

"Muneyoshi, you've come with me today for more than just a visit, haven't you?"

Reinhardt's gaze swept over Keith and Lin Xiu, finally settling on Muneyoshi's eyes and meeting his gaze.

Muneyoshi smiled slightly, "Ralph, my teammates are very strong. As for not participating in the exchange match, that's for other reasons."

"They're a doubles team, but Keith is incredibly strong in both singles and doubles. If you don't believe me, let my teammates compete against yours!"

Hearing Muneyoshi's high praise for his teammate, Reinhardt finally took them seriously. He turned his head, looked at Dudu beside him, and nodded.

"Hey boy, let me have a competition with you!"

Seeing Keith's indifferent expression, the outgoing Dudu knew exactly how to deal with this kind of personality. He walked straight up to Keith, grabbed him, and headed to the court for a game.

Don't be shy, I'll take you to the court!

Keith turned his gaze to Muneyoshi, Muneyoshi smiled and nodded; this development was not beyond his expectations.

"Let's go take a look together!"

Although Ralph didn't understand why Muneyoshi recommended a teammate to him, if Keith's abilities were really as he described, then it would be a good thing for America.

At least next year's junior high school students won't have to worry anymore.

Originally, America's middle school student was Echizen Ryoma, along with two other nameless extras.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt's smile became even more amiable.

"Boy, you can have the serve. Let me see if your skills are as good as Saeki said!"

Dudu walked to the opposite half of the court from Keith, stood in the baseline area for receiving serves, and squatted down with his knees bent.

Keith knew the other party's strength and didn't think the other party was looking down on him, so he nodded and didn't refuse.

Upon reaching the service court, Keith slapped the tennis ball twice to get a feel for it, then tossed it to his left front, arched his back, jumped, and twisted his body.

Because it was a match to demonstrate his strength to his opponent, Keith went all out from the start.

Bang!

Keith's long, powerful arm slammed down, sending the tennis ball flying and creating a circular shockwave on the racket.

The air currents were like water, and the tennis ball seemed to condense into water in the air. The rising mist seemed to slow down Dudu's reaction, and the tennis ball flew right past his feet.

"Oh! Nice! A very good serve!"

Dudu's eyes lit up. With just one shot, he sensed the difference in Keith. Keith's strength was indeed as Saeki Muneyoshi had said, not bad at all.

Meanwhile, Reinhardt's eyes lit up slightly on the sidelines. He saw things more deeply; although it was just one goal, Keith had shown a path he had never seen before.

"No, it's not that I've never seen this kind of airflow before. Is this another path taken by Saeki Muneyoshi? This is truly rare!"

What others think doesn't affect Keith; he's always fully committed to the game.

We've reached the opposite service court and are serving again.

This time, Dudu had the experience from the first point and made preparations early.

His body leaned to the right rear, tilting outwards, but he managed to stabilize himself using only his right foot—his balance was simply unparalleled.

Despite his completely unorthodox technique, he tilted his head and returned Keith's serve with a forehand slice.

"Hey boy, you really are pretty strong, just like Saeki said, but that's not enough!"

Dudu was overjoyed at catching the ball when he looked up and realized that Keith had already sprinted to the net.

His return tennis ball had barely cleared the net.

Bang!

Keith came to the net, leaped up expressionlessly, and even a smash seemed to have little effect on him.

His body leaped high and moved with great fluidity, his racket precisely intercepting the incoming tennis ball in mid-air. With a quick glance, he smashed the ball down hard, targeting the gap in Dudu's defense.

The timing of this smash was perfect, and it was also quite powerful. After Dudu's half of the field, it bounced high and flew over the opponent's head by two body lengths before going out of the field.

"Haha! You're quite strong; that ball flew really high!"

Dudu's laughter was full of praise for Keith, but before he finished speaking, he looked up at the tennis ball in the sky. "Too bad it can't stop me, watch this!"

Dudu lowered his center of gravity, swung his arms back while squatting down, and made a high jump motion, raising his heels and touching the ground with his toes.

His powerful and astonishing physical abilities were on full display at this moment.

Dudu's feet seemed to be spring-loaded; the powerful explosive force of his legs instantly lifted him into the air.

That leap was incredibly high!

To Keith's astonishment, Dudu's racket intercepted his smash in mid-air.

Leaning forward, racket down, the tennis ball flashed through the air and shot over Keith's head, piercing his backcourt.

Bingo! 15:0.

Dudu, who had just landed, gave Keith a peace sign, his smile undiminished.

"Such amazing jumping ability, is that why America was able to surpass England!"

Keith's indifferent face showed a flicker of emotion, his heart churning with turmoil.

However, Keith then took a deep breath and swung his racket again.

This time, he didn't hold back and used Universal Gravitation directly.

The sheer power of this move astonished everyone present.

"Nice shot!"

Dudu on the court also expressed his approval of Keith's skill, and then his eyes changed.

If Keith's strength doesn't meet his standards for taking things seriously, he might continue to have fun. But now that Keith has also entered this field, he can't hold back too much.

Dudu stretched his right hand upwards, leaped backwards at a 45-degree angle, and soared high into the air once again.

Boom!

A loud bang echoed through the air as the racket caught the bouncing tennis ball, which, with Dudu's force, crashed down like a meteorite.

"Universal Gravitation!"

Boom!

The air around the tennis ball that was caught in the air mass was completely displaced, leaving only endless air currents that formed a small but powerful air wall, which swept towards Dudu once again like a hurricane tornado.

"Oh! You can actually hit those powerful tennis balls repeatedly!"

"What a wondrous path, and you've traversed it completely! To leave it untouched would be impolite!"

Dudu laughed and jumped up again, drawing his racket behind him before swinging it down heavily.

The mustard-yellow beam of light shone down directly. This time, Keith did not sit idly by and wait to die. He refused to be outdone and once again mustered all his strength to fight Dudu.

The two engaged in a fierce battle over this single ball.

Meanwhile, Ralph, who was watching from the sidelines, had lost all interest in the game and pulled Muneyoshi to a corner.

He began communicating with Muneyoshi.

Just by watching the first few goals, he could roughly determine Keith's ability. With a little more training, he could definitely be used as a starter.

Therefore, he wanted to extradite Keith to America.

Muneyoshi was naturally unwilling to let it happen now.

After all, there are still competitions in the third year. If Keith and Lin Xiu leave, then the strength of Fudomine will be greatly reduced.

The two had a friendly exchange.

In the end, Ralph agreed to Muneyoshi's request that Keith and Lin Xiu go to America after the third-year National Tournament.

And it seems to foreshadow that in the future, he and Tachibana Kippei will probably really meet Keith and Lin Xiu in the World Tournament.

By then, the intensity of the matches will likely be much higher than in regular training sessions.

Of course, it's too early to talk about these things now, since the third grade won't start for a while.
