Ochi Gekko

The Neon crowd carried the seriously injured Mutsu brothers off the court..•♫•♬• ❻➈ •♬•♫•.

The situation, which seemed certain to be won, was unexpectedly reversed at the last moment, with the opponent winning two consecutive games.

This was something none of the Japan Team had anticipated, and it was difficult for them to accept.

"These two damned guys, they actually know how to Execution Method?"

"What's their background? Their Execution Method seem even more brutal than Tōno's!"

The Japan Team members were all talking amongst themselves as they looked at the two twin brothers opposite them.

After all, while the technique of Execution Method is not uncommon, not everyone can truly master and specialize in it.

"Mitsuya, do you understand?"

When the others turned their attention to him, Mitsuya nodded.

"Their surname suggests they are descendants of John Charles Stefanopoulos, the master executioner who operated in the shadows during the European revolutions."

"As a real executioner, I heard he once developed 999 real Execution Method."

Mitsuya Akyuu's voice carried an inexplicable emotion and chill, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

"Are you kidding me? 999 kinds! Do these two brothers have some other Execution Method they haven't used yet?"

After the initial shock, everyone fell silent once again.

They initially thought the Mutsu Brothers were confident after seeing their Synchronization, but they were wrong. 🌷🐙 ♪♟

"Ah, everyone! This is the world..."

Sensing that everyone's emotions had been affected, Saeki Muneyoshi, as the commander-in-chief, could no longer turn a blind eye.

He stood up, glanced around at everyone, then lowered his gaze slightly and said in an unusually low voice:

"The cruelty of world competitions is such that if you're not careful, your opponent can seize your weaknesses and plunge you into an abyss of no return. I think everyone should have a deep understanding of this statement by now."

Byōdōin had said similar things to them many times before, but back then he always stood up for them.

And the opponents they face are all players they can handle on their own, and are ranked lower in the world.

But now, as the teams they challenge become stronger, the pressure they feel is increasing.

Whether it was England before or Greece now, they have given them a completely different feeling from other weaker teams.

When Muneyoshi said those words again, they all felt differently than before.

Yes, this is the other side of the world...

The expressions on the faces of the Japan Team members all turned solemn.

Not far away, Byōdōin looked at Muneyoshi with a hint of admiration in his eyes, then closed his eyes and slowly leaned back in his chair.

It seems that he doesn't need to worry about it for now; he should focus on recovering.

"Next, the doubles match between the Japan Team and the Greece Team will begin."

"The Greece team, consisting of Taranta Heracles (senior high school student) and Papadopoulos Evangelos (junior high school student), will face off against the Japan team, consisting of Ochi Gekko (senior high school student) and Mori Juzaburo (first year of high school)!"

"Please welcome both players to the arena. ♚♞ 🐻💝"

Hearing the Greece Team's starting lineup, from the high platform in the distance.

QP opened his notebook and began to write something down.

Even amidst the cacophony of the surroundings, his expression remained unchanged, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

It must be said that he is exactly the same as Polk in this respect, and also exactly the same as Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Perhaps Tezuka will be accepted by Germany in the future; wouldn't his expressionless face be a big plus?

"Both sides have new players, and the Greece Team even has a middle school student. Is this preparation for this year's World Cup?"

"This tall guy from the Japan Team doesn't have many previous records; most of his performance comes from the last World Tournament. Hopefully, he can show something new today..."

After QP recorded the names of the people on both sides, he murmured softly.

→

Although Germany is powerful, it never underestimates any opponent.

One of the reasons they maintain their strength is that they have a thorough understanding of all their opponents, find countermeasures, and then execute them meticulously.

The Germany's rigorous and meticulous nature, and their precise and perfectionist style, are fully displayed in their team.

Although the rules have been drastically changed once again for this World Cup.

But as the reigning champions of Germany Team, QP has the confidence and ability to believe that Germany will remain at the top and achieve an unprecedented tenth consecutive title.

As the announcement ended, the eyes of the surrounding spectators turned to the players walking onto the court.

The members of the Japan Team then noticed something very interesting: the players who came out for the doubles match were all incredibly tall.

At approximately 194 cm tall, Mori Juzaburo is actually the shortest of the four.

Ochi Gekko needs no introduction; he stands at 226cm tall, while the two players on the Greece Team are no less than 200cm tall.

At that height, it's practically a competition for tall people.

If they weren't playing tennis, the four of them could easily form a basketball team and play basketball to their heart's content.

Seeing this combination, the Japan Team, who had already toned down their arrogance, gathered around Mitsuya, asking for information from the other side.

"Mitsuya, do you know those two guys over there?"

Mitsuya adjusted his glasses and said with a serious expression, "Of the Greece Team's pair, apart from that junior high school freshman, Taranta Heracles is quite famous in Europe."

"He had already become a key player for the Greece Team in the last World Cup and had begun to show his talent, becoming the ace player for the Greece Team's doubles;

Based on the information gathered, he is not only incredibly strong, but his serve speed and various techniques are also astonishing. If he were paired with his old partner, he would already be a professional player.

This duo was previously an extremely formidable force throughout Europe, but now that only Heracles remains, it's unclear how much of their potential they can unleash.

After Mitsuya finished speaking, the Japan people looked at each other with a mixture of worry and interest.

In fact, Mitsuya didn't finish his sentence.

In fact, after he collected data on the original Greece Team doubles pair, he astutely realized that the Greece Team doubles pair was actually very difficult to defeat.

Even within the Japan Team, only the combination of Tanegashima and Irie, or Tanegashima and Omagari, would likely have a chance of winning.

Fortunately, one of them reached the age where he could pursue a career as a professional gamer.

Seemingly noticing the worry and relief in Mitsuya's eyes, Saeki Muneyoshi smiled slightly.

He focused his gaze on Ochi Gekko and Mouri, who had just entered the arena, and chuckled softly:

"Their opponents are quite strong, but don't underestimate Ochi- senpai and Mori Juzaburo; their strength is not to be underestimated."

"The Mouri have been fighting against you for so long, I think you should know that very well."

After speaking of Mouri, Muneyoshi shifted his gaze to Ochi Gekko and said calmly:

"As for Ochi- senpai, do you still doubt his strength? And honestly, when it comes to serving, I don't think anyone can compare to Ochi- senpai, besides, he has more than just serving..."

On the court, the two sides shook hands amicably, seemingly unaffected by the previous game.

The two sides then determined which side would win by flipping a coin.

"The match begins, best of three sets, with the Japan team serving first."
