Omagari and Kaji

Meanwhile, the expressions of the Japan Team members on the sidelines changed.

They just suffered an injury at Byōdōin; if Tōno were to be crippled as well, the situation would be dire.

"Ahhh... uh..."

Tōno Atsukyō curled up on the ground, clutching his knee with both hands.

His knees were twisted abnormally at that moment.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans streamed down his forehead, and the hairband that had been holding his long hair in place had fallen to the ground. Tōno's groans were now muffled by pain.

"Tōno!"

"Tōno!"

"Tōno, Tōno, are you alright?!"

Not only was Kimijima worried inside the arena, but the Japan fans outside were also shocked. Kiriya was even more alarmed and jumped over the fence.

If Muneyoshi hadn't pulled him out in time, he probably would have run onto the field.

This practice is against the rules in official competitions.

After a timely assessment of the injury, staff determined that Tōno Atsukyō was no longer able to participate in the match.

The referee then immediately announced:

"In the World Ranking Round Robin match between Japan Team and England, the doubles team 2 has been cancelled due to Japan Team Tōno Atsukyō being unable to continue the match!"

England wins the doubles match 2!

Damn it!

"Those two guys!"

England!

This result enraged everyone on the Japan Team, especially since they had just experienced the attack on Byōdōin when they arrived in England.

At that moment, the opponent did it again on the court, Tōno Atsukyō's knee.

Such an injury will probably take several months to fully heal.

This is a devastating blow to the Japan Team, who are away on a long-distance trip.

Muneyoshi was also furious at this moment, after all, he had just been parachuted in to lead the team, and this was the scene that had happened.

That's practically slapping him in the face!

If he cannot handle this matter perfectly today, or get revenge for Tōno Atsukyō, then he, as the team leader, will definitely not be able to control this group of arrogant and fierce soldiers.

However, this tit-for-tat style of competition is nothing new to Muneyoshi.

The purplish-black halo in his eyes dimmed, and his pupils returned to normal.

"But what a coincidence! It's also a knee!"

After suppressing his anger, Muneyoshi regained his composure and muttered to himself about the location of Tōno Atsukyō's injury.

In the original work, Tōno also injured his knee during an expedition to Europe, which left him vulnerable.

During his interaction with a middle school student, he was hit on the knee by Kite, triggering his inner fears.

However, thanks to Muneyoshi's butterfly wings, everyone's strength has improved somewhat, and Tōno was not injured.

But unexpectedly, all of this still couldn't be avoided.

The injury, which was thought to be healed, has been delayed in an even more violent way until the current match against England.

"U-17 World Cup Round-Robin Tournament, Japan Team vs. England Team, Match 2, Doubles-on-One, now begins!"

"The Japan Team, consisting of Ōmagari Ryūji Kaji Fūta, will face off against the England Team, consisting of Gordon Grear and Grant Smith."

"Please bring your players to the stage!"

A passionate voice came over the loudspeaker, and even Muneyoshi and the others could hear the cheerful emotion in the speaker's tone.

It seems the first victory made these British guys very happy.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

"Kill them! Beat them to a pulp!"

"England! England!"

The violent outcome of the first match heightened the emotions of the surrounding spectators, who clamored to teach Muneyoshi and his group a lesson once again.

Such overwhelming cheers put a lot of pressure on everyone.

"Senior Omagari, Senior Kaji, be careful, and teach them a lesson!"

Seeing the two preparing to go on stage, Muneyoshi gave them a few words of advice in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Muneyoshi, we won't let them get away with this!"

Kaji Fūta, having not interacted much with Muneyoshi, merely nodded, while Omagari, no longer displaying his usual laziness, spoke with great enthusiasm.

However, when they stepped onto the pitch, the boos they heard were a stark contrast to the cheers they had received for England earlier.

This difference still made Kaji and Omagari unhappy.

"Heh, Ryuji, it seems our opponents, our England 'friends,' are getting too cocky. Even if it weren't for the boss and Tōno, we should give them a good beating."

Kaji pushed the stray hairs from his forehead back, speaking in a gentle tone, yet radiating a chilling aura.

"I understand what you mean, Kaji. Go ahead and charge in boldly, leave the rest to me!"

Omagari stroked the two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth, and his resolute face gave Kaji Fūta great confidence.

He and Omagari had been friends since middle school, and their friendship deepened after entering the training camp because of Tanegashima Shūji's decision not to participate in the expedition.

He often substitutes for Tanegashima to form doubles with Omagari.

Although Kaji knew that his own strength, when paired with Omagari, was definitely not as good as Tanegashima's when paired with Omagari.

But so what?

That's enough to deal with those two from England!

"Tch! Two Japanese monkeys!"

Gordon Grear looked at his two opponents, who were a head shorter than him, and sneered.

"Don't be careless or underestimate your opponent, Grear."

Although the victory in the previous game greatly dampened the arrogance of the Japan Team.

However, Grant Smith did not believe that the two of them could win the match without any obstacles.

After all, Ōmagari Ryūji's doubles skills have been demonstrated in so many overseas tournaments, and he is not an absolute unknown.

Therefore, the naturally cautious Grant still offered a word of advice, as it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Hearing his teammate's cowardice, Grear curled his lip in disdain and said nothing more.

However, his disdainful expression and discriminatory actions were all too obvious.

"Hmph! Kaji, let's crush them!"

Omagari snorted coldly.

Without much conversation, the two sides began guessing who would go first. After the game, the referee climbed onto a high chair and waved towards the Japan Team's side, saying:

"The match begins, a three-set match to decide the winner, with Japan Team's Kaji Fūta serving first."

"Let me show you my power! First Style: Base Cyclone!"

Kaji Fūta a light tap of his fingertips, Kajikata gently lifted the tennis ball, swung the racket, and stirred up gusts of air.

Bang!

The speed of a tennis ball is astonishing, but what's even more surprising is the wave of air it creates after leaving the racket.

The air currents swirled around the tennis ball, like a spiral, or like the initial stage of a whirlwind.

But no matter how you look at it, it's clear that the power and speed of this shot were terrifying.

Boom!

The moment the tennis ball hit the ground, it was as if a hurricane swept across the court, and the dust kicked up filled England Team's half of the field.

"Speed Extreme!! And its power is even more than the ordinary Speed Extreme, it even has the beginnings of Technique Form?! What a powerful serve."

Many members of the England Team had a change of expression.

They weren't blind; Kaji Fūta's serve was very powerful, and he wasn't someone you could easily defeat.

Seeing the panicked look on the other side, Ōmagari Ryūji, who was crouching in front, smiled slightly. He also had great confidence in Kaji's strength.

So what if England Team is ranked seventh in the world?

Since the other side has already made their move, let them be the ones to defeat them.
