Demon King (Part Two)
Bang!
"Japan Team scores, score 40-0."
Thump... boom!
The sound of a heavy object falling rang out again, along with the referee's voice.
"Game, Japan Team Saeki Muneyoshi scores, score 5:3."
Once Saeki Muneyoshi made his move, he showed no mercy. After using his Different Dimension Realm to cover up his opponent's domain, the match was effectively over.
As for the final result of this match?
It all depends on how far Saeki Muneyoshi himself wants to go.
Of course, we can't really underestimate our opponent. Rod Laver's strength is actually quite good. After all, he is a real player who has just entered the Stage Two of the professional game.
If Muneyoshi were to have a real match with him, the game might still have a chance to go on.
However, Muneyoshi didn't want a real, intense match; he just wanted to collect some interest.
Especially when the tennis ball slammed into Rod Laver's jaw, the scales of victory began to tip.
As the game continues, the more attacks Rod Laver faces, the less likely he is to win.
Boom!
Another powerful Topspin sent the bouncing tennis ball flying toward Rod Laver's body once again.
"You damned bastard, you're a follower of Satan! You're a thug! A villain! A murderer! You're a demon who deserves to go to hell!"
The audience outside the arena was shouting and yelling, but the more offensive their insults became, the more violent Muneyoshi's methods became.
"Coach, should we just give up? Our star player is finished; he's almost unconscious..."
In the England players' rest area, some players anxiously asked the coach for instructions, and the England Team's coach was also finding it difficult to make a decision.
After all, conceding defeat in a match is not an honorable thing for aspiring professional players, especially during the period when they are applying to become official professional players.
"Rhode Laver, wake up! Forfeit!"
On the sidelines, Steven Caldwell and others, seeing that the coach was still hesitating, shouted towards the field.
Although Rod Laver has a lot of domineering style as the head coach, that's an internal matter for the England Team.
In this kind of competition, he represents England Team's strongest force, and with the U-17 World Cup this year, Rod Laver is definitely their trump card.
Therefore, regardless of personal feelings towards him, the England players do not want Rod Laver to be destroyed by Saeki Muneyoshi.
The England Team's shouting and yelling had no effect on the Japan Team; they were still huddled together, discussing Muneyoshi's actions.
"Hey, haven't you noticed our young commander yet? Looks like he's not someone to be trifled with!"
"Is Muneyoshi preparing to avenge the boss and Tōno?"
"This is the first time I've seen Muneyoshi like this. Although he was also very assertive before, he rarely used such violent methods!"
"Rarely? Don't you know that Saeki -kun also uses Execution Method?"
"Execution Method? It seems he and Tōno have a really good relationship..."
"I think Muneyoshi did the right thing. As the captain, he should act like one. England treated us like this, so it's only fair that we get our revenge on their captain!"
A group of people discussed it animatedly, but all expressed their support for Muneyoshi's actions.
Most of them were not that close to Muneyoshi.
However, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it; at least in their view, if it were Byōdōin, he would probably do something even more outrageous.
However, a few people who were truly familiar with Saeki Muneyoshi Muneyoshi slightly puzzled by his actions.
For example, Ōmagari Ryūji, Ochi Gekko, Mitsuya Akito, and Mori Juzaburo are the four people who have participated in the Four-Nation Exchange Tournament with Muneyoshi, so they are the most qualified to speak about Muneyoshi's personality changes.
Watching Munehiko's playing style gradually resemble Muneyoshi's on the Byōdōin, Omagari with some emotion, "It seems the injury from the exchange match has had a significant impact on Muneyoshi..."
Ochi Gekko and Mouri nodded in agreement. They had known Muneyoshi since middle school, so they could clearly sense the difference.
However, they only talked in hushed tones, and the situation on the field began to worsen.
"Hey hahaha! Aspiring pro, huh? England's tennis elite, huh!"
Muneyoshi grinned maliciously, and golden light flashed in his hand once more before he swung his racket heavily.
The golden beam struck Rod Laver's abdomen again, and a sharp pain instantly shot through Rod Laver's brain.
In an instant, the pain caused Rod Laver's forehead to break out in a fine layer of white sweat, and his consciousness, which had been somewhat blurred by Muneyoshi's beating, was also stimulated and brought back to its senses by the intense pain.
However, sometimes being clear-headed isn't necessarily a good thing.
The body, which had been in a daze and was still able to hold on, was now experiencing intense physical pain that was frantically stimulating the cerebral cortex after the person regained consciousness.
Rod Laver could no longer bear it and collapsed to his knees on the court.
"Hiss! Cough cough!"
A burly England, utterly disrespectful, clutched his abdomen and groaned in pain on the field.
It's truly heartbreaking to hear and brings tears to the eyes of anyone who listens.
"What's wrong, aspiring pro? Are you going to give up on playing tennis again because of this little collision, just like before?"
Muneyoshi gave a cruel smile, "Stand up! What happened to your aspiring professional tennis player's glory? You're the powerful England, ranked seventh in the world! Come and teach me how to play tennis!"
It seems that Muneyoshi's taunts had an effect, or perhaps it was the honor that prevented Rod Laver from collapsing.
He stood up again, and even managed to launch an attack on Muneyoshi despite the excruciating pain.
"You damned bastard, I'll kill you!"
Rod Laver glared, his eyes bloodshot and contorted with rage.
He didn't care about any honors at that moment; all he wanted was to retaliate fiercely and smash Saeki Muneyoshi's face.
"Oh, ho ho... you're really strong, and your voice is still so powerful. Let's continue!"
Muneyoshi wouldn't let Rod Laver off so easily.
The executions began again...
Muneyoshi dealt with Rod Laver's chaotic attacks with remarkable ease, parrying several times before launching another attack.
This time, Muneyoshi targeted Rod Laver's jaw with a series of attacks. Faced with such blows, even Rod Laver, who had tempered his body to an extremely strong state, could not withstand them at this moment.
He stood hunched over on the field, his body swaying, and his consciousness once again drifted into a daze.
This scene, of course, was also observed by England.
"Coach, Rod Laver is stunned. If this continues, something bad might happen. That guy is here for revenge. It's time to admit defeat."
Russell, who kicked off today's match, also looked serious. Although he had defeated Tōno Atsukyō, it was only for a moment.
Even now, he was filled with apprehension towards Saeki Muneyoshi's method of relentlessly tormenting him without delivering a decisive blow.
"You're aspiring professional player, and you're pretending to be dead?!"
Seeing his opponent fall again, Muneyoshi laughed heartily, and the golden light in his hand reappeared as he prepared to continue attacking Rod Laver.
"A devil! This Japan guy is a devil! Beating someone unconscious and then waking them up—that's lynching Rod Laver!!"
"No, he's not a devil, he's Demon King, he's Demon King from Japan!"
The England spectators watching were shocked by Muneyoshi's cruelty and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Some people mumbled to themselves, and finally broke into a desperate shout.
The England coach, listening to the discussions around him and watching the golden light shine again on the field, knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. He stood up and shouted at Muneyoshi.
"Stop!"
Upon hearing this, Muneyoshi turned his gaze to him, his cold face icy. "What? Is powerful England trying to pull some tricks again?"
"Since that's the case, then let me show you what the price is for daring to engage in such underhanded dealings!"
Looking coldly at England's head coach, Muneyoshi's face was full of ferocity.
Seeing Muneyoshi's firm stance, the England coach felt inexplicably guilty and stammered:
"No... no, we concede, we concede this match!"
"Admit defeat?"
Muneyoshi's violent methods and strength, as well as his care for Tōno Atsukyō and Byōdōin, earned him the recognition of the high school students.
This is one of the reasons why Muneyoshi did this.
After all, as a middle school student, he couldn't lead a group of arrogant high school students without using some tricks to subdue them.
However, he didn't expect that his actions would earn him the nickname "Demon King".
