Wimbledon

As one of the world's four major tennis meccas, Wimbledon's fame is beyond question.

Muneyoshi, who is still a junior high school student, never expected that he would have the opportunity to play at Wimbledon so soon.

Although it was just a simple points-based competition.

After all, if you're aiming for a professional career, Wimbledon is a tournament you definitely need to conquer.

What surprised Muneyoshi was that this was too early, since the original work didn't describe this aspect at all, nor did it describe the England national team.

Aside from knowing that the future middle school students in England were all Atobe's friends, Muneyoshi knew nothing else.

Before coming here today, he also made a special contact with Keith and Lin Xiu in Japan.

They were all very excited when they heard that Muneyoshi was going to play against England at Wimbledon.

As Keith expelled from England, Keith was always thinking of revenge against England.

However, Muneyoshi refused when Keith Muneyoshi his help to get revenge.

Keith's moment of revenge should be carried out by him personally.

What Muneyoshi is doing today is simply to remove some obstacles and collect some interest.

This was because a major news story broke before the match: Japan's captain, Byōdōin Hōō, was violently injured.

Both the World Tennis Association and the England Tennis Association attach great importance to this points challenge tournament.

The England Tennis Association even issued a formal statement strongly condemning those lurking in the shadows.

Since it was confirmed that Byōdōin's injury was indeed too severe to play in this qualifying tournament, the Japan Team was given very thorough arrangements in all aspects for this qualifying tournament.

Along the way, no one showed any excitement or enthusiasm as they gazed at the exotic scenery outside the window; all their expressions were solemn.

The bus took everyone to the destination of this competition, Wimbledon Centre Stadium.

As the Japan Team entered the stadium, they saw that a considerable number of people had already gathered there, mostly media and staff, along with a few scattered spectators around the stadium.

"This is Wimbledon's Centre Court..."

Muneyoshi tightened his grip on the tennis bag on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and even someone as calm as him couldn't help but feel a little emotional at this moment, given the professional tennis court.

"I didn't expect England U17 to choose this venue for their match. Are they trying to put some pressure on us?"

Kiriya glanced around, gave a cold snort, and made no attempt to hide his hostility towards England.

"This is, after all, the holy land of tennis, where countless legends have been born. To play here and defeat England is enough to keep one awake with excitement."

Kaji Fūta also very excited.

These high school students from Japan, standing here now, seem to be able to feel the heroic figures of their predecessors who left their legends here in the past.

In an instant, excitement filled my heart, and even the gloom brought by Byōdōin's injury faded away.

"Muneyoshi, we absolutely must win this points match against England!"

Tōno Atsukyō Tono chuckled and then made a bold statement.

His eyes scanned the England around him, his gaze filled with a dangerous, bloodthirsty light.

In his quest for revenge for his boss, he no longer cared about any rules or regulations.

He only wanted to use his own Execution Method to thoroughly punish his opponents.

"Don't worry, Tōno- senpai, this victory will definitely be ours!"

Saeki Muneyoshi nodded.

"Muneyoshi is right!"

"Hey, you little rascal, you're starting to look more and more like a commander!"

"I never expected this, Muneyoshi, that you actually went this far!"

Hearing Muneyoshi's confident words, Ōmagari Ryūji, Ochi Gekko, and Mori Juzaburo also placed their trust in Muneyoshi.

"Oh"

Kimijima Ikuto pushed up his glasses and watched the scene with a smile. Now was not the best time for him to initiate negotiations.

Actually, he was quite surprised when he heard that the coaching staff was planning to arrange for Saeki Muneyoshi as a Byōdōin not long ago.

Although when the Four-Nation Exchange Tournament ended, Omagari and others said that Muneyoshi's strength was very strong.

But he never expected that she would become so powerful as to temporarily Byōdōin.

This kid, who's only in middle school, has already reached the world's top stage so quickly!

Kimijima Ikuto's eyes flickered, still harboring a skeptical attitude towards Muneyoshi's strength.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing!

However, he did not take the initiative to bring it up, since the other party was arranged by the coaching staff. If Muneyoshi could not take on the important task, then his negotiation would have a stage to play.

Therefore, Kimijima Ikuto also has high expectations for this points tournament.

Muneyoshi was well aware that since he had been parachuted in, there would definitely be people who wouldn't submit to him.

However, he didn't care; after all, tennis is about skill.

These guys follow Byōdōin, and maintaining their ambition is also a way for them to improve their strength and not limit themselves.

At 10:00 AM, the England U17 team, led by their captain Rod Laver, took to the pitch.

Rod Laver, England's U17 star player who recently turned professional.

He is very famous in England and somewhat well-known in Europe, although not as famous as Amadeus of Switzerland or Reinhardt, who defeated him before.

But they are also a formidable opponent.

Across the court, separated from them by a basketball net, stood the members of the Japan Team led by Muneyoshi.

"Hmph! Prepare for the cruelest execution, England!"

Upon seeing the England players, Tōno Atsukyō's demeanor became even more arrogant, his eyes filled with danger. However, none of the England players reacted to this threat.

To these arrogant guys, the Japan Team without Byōdōin was like a toothless kitten, posing little threat whatsoever.

"Hey, you yellow-skinned monkey, you're in doubles, right? I'll take you on and see if your tennis balls are as strong as you boast!"

England's starting doubles pair, Russell, chuckled, seemingly convinced that Tono was the Tōno for them.

His attitude actually reflects England's relaxed mindset at this moment.

"What? After Byōdōin got injured, the leader of the Japan Team is a kid? Does this mean your Japan Team is planning to forfeit today's match?"

England Team's star player Rod Laver's gaze lingered on Duke for a long time before finally settling on the "slender" figure beside him.

In his view, the only Japan Team who can challenge him now is former France's King of Destruction Duke Watanabe.

As for Saeki Muneyoshi, he immediately recognized him the moment he saw him.

Known as the strongest genius of the Japan Team, and one of the strongest junior high school students in the world.

Despite his various titles and impressive record, he is not yet worthy of Rod Laver's full attention.

Although they had heard that the other side had demonstrated Stage Two strength in the Four-Nation Exchange Tournament against America, they scoffed at it.

After all, Rod Laver, who has only just entered this field, is well aware of how difficult this level is.

In his view, how could Saeki Muneyoshi, who is only a junior high school student, possibly be capable of this?

Moreover, his opponent in the Four-Nation Exchange Tournament was actually an unknown Japanese person.

They fought a bloody battle, resulting in mutual destruction!

That's it?

This is supposed to be a Stage Two area?

That's utterly absurd.

If Saeki Muneyoshi had defeated Reinhardt, he might have been more wary, and he might have believed the rumors about his Stage Two strength to some extent.

But now...

In their eyes, the Japan Team was the perfect stepping stone to wash away their defeat in the invitational tournament.

Previously, in the invitational tournament, they lost to the Japan Team by just one point.

Although the invitational tournament does not count towards the overall points, this defeat is still a disgrace for the proud British Empire.

Moreover, the match in which they lost happened to be the one against Byōdōin.

Now that Byōdōin is gone, dealing with the Japan Team should be a piece of cake.

P. S.: "Please vote with monthly tickets!"

Original storylines within a fixed framework are difficult to write; it requires racking your brains and is very slow.

Of course, I know it's easy to write a story about middle school students, but there's not much improvement in that area right now. If I just stay in middle school, my strength probably won't improve much by then. So I'm starting the planned expedition, which will involve fighting some strong teams that won't appear again in the future.

After returning from the expedition, they were usually in the Semifinals of Metropolitan Tournament or the Kanto Tournament.
