The Beast Aura Combination

"Whoosh!"

Although he had won the Singles 2 match, Fuji wasn't Echizen. He didn't make a grand declaration after clinching the match.

He merely swept his eyes calmly over the surroundings, then let his gaze settle on Muneyoshi.

Though Fuji had won, after learning the strength of both teams' players, he understood that the matches still to come were Seigaku's most important ones.

He and Akutsu had already played, while Tachibana and Muneyoshi were still waiting in reserve.

The spectators familiar with both teams' strength understood this perfectly well, too.

Though Fuji Shusuke had stepped up and won, giving Seigaku match point first, overall, aside from Seigaku's own supporters, the other spectators didn't believe Seigaku could turn the match around.

Even though Tezuka Kunimitsu still seemed to guarantee Seigaku one "victory."

Because they all knew that although Fudomine was behind, its aces, Tachibana Kippei and Saeki Muneyoshi, had yet to take the court.

Besides the two of them, Kamio Akira was also a formidable player.

"Thanks for the effort, Fuji..."

As Fuji came off the court, Oishi Shuichiro and the others hurried to bring him a towel and some water.

"Mm! Thanks, Oishi!"

Fuji took the towel and water, glanced at Tezuka without saying anything, then sat down in his seat. With the towel draped over his shoulders, he raised his head and gazed at the sky!

On the other side, in Fudomine's area, Ibu Shinji left the court with a gloomy, dejected air and quietly sat alone in a corner.

After the match, the air around the defeated Ibu Shinji had grown much heavier.

He'd lost again.

Ever since he'd faced Fuji Shusuke in last year's preliminaries, he hadn't won against any of the top teams.

Yukimura Seiichi, Fuji Shusuke, Oshitari Yushi, Mori Juzaburo...

Keith, Tachibana Kippei...
