The Man Named Tezuka Kunimitsu (Part 2)

Zzt—

Glowing Flame directly nullified the outer spin on the ball!

Yet under the spectators' watchful eyes, Tezuka stood where he was, showing no intention of moving.

A crimson storm took shape around him, an even larger vortex swirling up from his feet.

Muneyoshi of course saw it all.

"Even a serve can have double spin?"

But before Muneyoshi could finish speaking, the ball in the air didn't fly toward Tezuka. Instead, it shot out of bounds with a purple-black glow.

Zzt!

Thud!

Almost at the same time, the referee's voice rang across the court. "Out! Tezuka Kunimitsu scores. 15–0."

After scoring, Tezuka raised his head and glanced at Muneyoshi before calmly saying, "If it's a ball I can't return, then I'll simply try not to return it!"

"What did you say?!"

The smile vanished from Muneyoshi's face. Tezuka's calm attitude suddenly stirred up a stubborn defiance in him. If you think your shell is so strong, then I'll break it and show you.

At that moment, Muneyoshi felt he understood Sanada's mindset a little.

Facing a Tezuka who remained calm at every turn really could make your blood boil.

"Anyone can talk big. If you think you can do it with your spin, then go ahead and try!"

"I will, Muneyoshi!"

"Hyah!"

Without hesitation, Tezuka raised his left hand and lightly sliced down with his racket from its highest point once more.

Thwack!

A dull impact rang out. The ball was laden with incredibly complex spin, and in the blink of an eye, it curved diagonally toward Muneyoshi.

"You think you can make every one of my shots go out? Keep dreaming!"

The interplay of golden light and darkness gave Muneyoshi's expression a savage edge.

Zzt!

"Falling Star!"

Thud!

"Out! Tezuka Kunimitsu scores. 30–0."

"Candlelight Illumination!"

Boom!

"Out! Game,
