Doubles 2

On the court, Kamio Akira and Ishida Tetsu, exhausted both physically and mentally, were helped off the court by Tachibana Kippei. 😾🐺 ൠ✌

"Coach, Muneyoshi, I told you I would win, and this time I kept my word!"

He helped Tachibana Kippei sit down, and when he looked up, he saw Hanamura Aoi and Saeki Muneyoshi walking over, and he grinned.

"Ju, you're really going too far! This is just a singles match!"

Hanamura Aoi showed no joy at Tachibana Kippei's victory, after all, Fudomine was clearly the stronger side in terms of strength compared to the Hyotei Academy.

You don't need to spell "Tachibana Kippei" like that.

"The coach is right, Tachibana. Your move is far from perfect. Forcing it will only cause injury and severely damage your future!"

Muneyoshi also solemnly accepted Hanamura Aoi's words and spoke very seriously.

"Of course, I also know that tennis only shines brighter when it comes to collisions, so... Tachibana, I respect your choice!"

"Get some rest first. Also, do not use this move until your physical fitness has improved further!"

Seeing that Tachibana Kippei was exhausted, Muneyoshi and Hanamura Aoi exchanged a glance but said nothing more.

However, Muneyoshi set a limitation for this move.

"Thank you, Muneyoshi!"

Tachibana Kippei knew, of course, that this was for his own good, so he forced a smile and closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, Atobe was receiving guidance from Sakaki Tarou.

"Atobe, it must feel terrible to have victory snatched away when you were so sure of it, right?"

"Yes, Coach!"

"You were certain to win this match, but your improved skills blinded you to your arrogance, preventing you from noticing your opponent's progress!"

Sakaki Tarou's expression was icy as he pointed out Atobe's problem without any mercy:

"You thought you were stronger than Tachibana Kippei, and that if it went to a tiebreaker, you would definitely win. But you never imagined that Tachibana Kippei wouldn't give you that chance at all!"

"In terms of decisiveness and ruthlessness, you are far inferior to him!"

"Think about it carefully. I hope you won't lose the next game!"

"I'm sorry, Coach!"

Atobe returned to the Hyotei Academy's rest area, filled with intense self-dissatisfaction.

The image of Tachibana Kippei's reckless decisiveness in scoring that final goal kept flashing through his mind.

"Tachibana Kippei... I've really been outdone this time!"

Just as Atobe was contemplating life, Tachibana Kippei was resting with his eyes closed.

The doubles match 2 has begun.

Fudomine's side sent Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou, Fudomine sent Keith and Lin Xiu...

"Ha! Hyotei Academy."

Before going on stage, Keith glanced at the Hyotei Academy team.

Keith's fighting spirit was stronger than ever before after the Tachibana Kippei match, and he also felt dissatisfied with the slow pace of his own improvement.

Having spent a year and fully understanding Hyotei Academy's strength, Keith naturally understood Hyotei Academy's intention in arranging the formation this way.

They definitely want to bet on three singles matches, plus a doubles match and another singles match.

But now the dream of winning three singles matches has been shattered.

"Damn it, how did Keith and Lin Xiu end up in doubles match two? We have to do our best, Chotaro!"

Shishido Ryo Shishido's expression darkened as he watched Keith and Lin Xiu enter the arena. Hyotei Academy's original plan was to secure victories in singles match three and doubles match two.

Even if he lost to Saeki Muneyoshi in singles match 2, he would still lose to Munehiko Saeki in doubles match 1.

They could also request another Singles 1, preparing to Oshitari Yushi against Ibu Shinji.

However, the loss in singles match three shattered all of that, and they also miscalculated the lineup for doubles match two.

"Fudomine has a 100% chance of winning this match."

Inui Sadaharu adjusted his glasses. Hyotei Academy's doubles team was undoubtedly strong, but compared to Keith and Lin Xiu, they still had a long way to go.

"Senior Akan, are those two from Fudomine also very strong?"

Echizen Ryoma, standing beside him, was quite surprised to hear that Inui Sadaharu was so certain of Fudomine's victory.

After all, they had fought against the Hyotei Academy before and were well aware of Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou's strength; those two had defeated the Seigaku Golden Pair.

"Echizen, Keith, and Lin Xiu's combination is not only strong in doubles, but also unmatched in singles. Watch closely!"

Gan didn't explain further, but instead turned to a new page and began recording the data.

"High-speed flame particles!"

Lin Xiu's voice rang out, and a crimson light flashed in his eyes, like a flame burning fiercely.

Bang!

The tennis ball, delivered at an incredibly high speed, hurtled towards the Hyotei Academy's court with dazzling brilliance.

Bang!

To the astonishment of the Hyotei Academy players, Lin Xiu easily scored with his serve.

Four consecutive serves secured the first game.

The match then came to the Hyotei Academy's Ohtori Choutarou's serve.

"One... ball... enters... the... soul!"

Standing on the service line, Chotaro shouted each word clearly. Although he thought the two from Fudomine were monsters, he had no other thoughts in his mind.

He was certainly confident in his serve, but faced with such a hit, the cold-faced Keith showed no mercy.

He continuously unleashed his unique technique Airflow Storm.

Chotaro's serve was returned by him with even faster and stronger speed.

The powerful blast wave sent Hyotei Academy's receiver flying.

"Cough cough."

Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou struggled to their feet. Although they knew their opponent was strong, they hadn't expected the difference in strength to be so great.

Although the situation has completely turned in Fudomine, Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou will not give up.

Even if we lose, we cannot lose face for the Hyotei Academy.

Bang!

Bang!

"Hmph! A futile struggle! Just finish them off, Xiu!"

A chill flashed in Keith's eyes as he thought of Tachibana Kippei once again.

Against Atobe Keigo, Tachibana Kippei could go even further under pressure, while his own opponent was simply too weak!

"Then let's call it a day. Just be mindful of your behavior!"

Lin Xiu nodded in response. As a friend, he was well aware of Keith's thoughts at that moment.

Seeing that Tachibana Kippei had made further progress while he was still standing still, he probably already wanted to go back and fight Saeki Muneyoshi.

With Lin Xiu's support, Keith's movements became even more unrestrained. He straddled the ground with both feet, stomping heavily on it, as if he were stomping on the hearts of the Hyotei Academy members.

"Universal Gravitation!"

Boom!

The air is romantic and swirling, like water flowing through the air.

As Keith swung his racket, the resulting air burst sent Shishido Ryo and Ohtori Choutarou, who had only managed to get into position, flying through the air and crashing to the ground once again.

"Referee! In this round, we..."

Seeing this, Sakaki Tarou on the sidelines sighed and prepared to forfeit the game.

"Coach! We can still play. If we give up now, how can we improve in the future!"

Shishido Ryo was getting anxious. Although there was a significant gap between him and Keith, he didn't want to admit defeat.

"Okay... but you must be careful not to push yourself. If there is a risk of injury, I reserve the right to forfeit. Don't forget, the Kanto Tournament is still waiting for us!"

Sakaki Tarou nodded. He didn't try to persuade them further, and after guessing Shishido Ryo's thoughts, he expressed his support for them.

However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Even though Keith intentionally controlled his power, Fudomine still easily won this round.

Leading 2-0 in the overall score.

"This guy's strength is also..."

After witnessing Fudomine's true strength, Echizen Ryoma's shock never ceased.

"Akan, Fudomine are already this strong, then what about their club leader?"

"That guy? He's the number one tennis player in junior high school."

When Echizen asked about Muneyoshi, Miki didn't hide anything and told him directly, after all, Saeki Muneyoshi's existence was the real boss standing between the junior high schools.

This is a problem that all schools find extremely troublesome, yet they are unable to solve it.

However, he was busy updating Keith and Lin Xiu's data at the moment and did not see the increasingly fervent light in Echizen Ryoma's eyes after he heard him say that Saeki Muneyoshi was the number one student in the middle school.

"The number one... someone even more powerful than the minister... I really want to fight him..."
