The Man Named Tezuka Kunimitsu (Part 2)

Sizzle~

The Glowing Flame directly eliminates the outer spin of the tennis ball!

However, under the watchful eyes of the audience, Tezuka stood still, showing no intention of moving.

An invisible crimson storm suddenly formed around him, and an even larger cyclone swirled around his feet.

This scene was, of course, witnessed by Muneyoshi.

"You can even have double spin on a serve?"

However, before Muneyoshi could finish speaking, the tennis ball in the air did not fly towards Tezuka, but bounced out of bounds with a purplish-black light.

Sizzle!

Thump!

Almost simultaneously, the referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium, "Out of bounds! Tezuka Kunimitsu scores! 15-0."

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

"What did you say?!"

Muneyoshi's smiling face froze. Tezuka's calm attitude suddenly stirred a stubbornness in Muneyoshi's heart. Since you think your turtle shell is powerful, then I'll break it for you.

At that moment, Muneyoshi seemed to understand Sanada's mindset somewhat.

Seeing Tezuka so calm in such a moment, one might indeed feel a nameless anger rising within them.

Anyone can talk big. If you think you can do it with your spinning, then you should try it!

"I will, Muneyoshi!"

"Drink it!"

Without hesitation, Tezuka raised his left hand and gently sliced the racket downwards from its highest point once again.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out, and an incredibly complex spin filled the tennis ball, which instantly curved diagonally toward Muneyoshi.

"Trying to get all my balls out of bounds? That's a pipe dream!"

Muneyoshi's expression appeared somewhat ferocious under the interplay of golden light and darkness.

Sizzle!

"Falling Bright!"

Thump!

"Out of bounds, Tezuka Kunimitsu scores, 30:0."

"Candlelight Illumination!"

Boom!

"Out of bounds, game! Tezuka Kunimitsu scores, 2-2."

"Game, out of bounds, Tezuka Kunimitsu scores, 3-3."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"He can actually make spinning so fancy, causing many of Muneyoshi's powerful attacks to go out of bounds at the most dangerous moments! Tezuka Kunimitsu!!!"

The audience was stunned; they had been shocked by far too much today.

"Hmph! You're all celebrating too soon, aren't you? Haven't you noticed? Hmm?"

Suddenly, an arrogant voice interrupted everyone's praise of Tezuka, Atobe Keigo stepped over the crowd to stand at the very front.

"Atobe of the Hyotei Academy."

"Atobe, what did you say you found?"

"Hmph, a bunch of fools. Didn't you notice that after Tezuka said those words, Saeki Muneyoshi hasn't used any other techniques? He's only used the simplest Darkness Shot..."

Atobe glanced disdainfully at the people around him, his head held high:

"Knowing that guy's despicable nature as I do, he's probably aiming to truly break Tezuka's shell, deliberately avoiding other methods to deliver the ultimate nightmare! And his counterattack is already very close to breaking through the Tezuka, isn't it, Kabaji!"

"Yes!"

Atobe's words were a revelation to everyone, and as they paid closer attention to the details of the match, they also began to see the differences in each person's performance.

Despite appearing to be losing points, Saeki Muneyoshi looked relaxed and had very little sweat on his body.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was in the lead, had his arm joints completely red and swollen.

"Tezuka used Tezuka Zone in reverse! The spin in tennis is doubled, and now that he's hitting two types of spin simultaneously, the doubled effect is probably even greater!"

"Having personally experienced the Supreme Domain in the Rikkai Dai region, Yukimura said calmly."

"Yukimura, what do you mean?"

Sanada frowned, as if he had remembered something.

"Tezuka Kunimitsu! He risked everything for Seigaku's victory, for creating a possibility of defeating Saeki Muneyoshi!"

Yukimura nodded in approval. Although he didn't entirely agree with Tezuka's approach, he admired Tezuka's spirit.

Moreover, if he were in Saeki Muneyoshi's shoes, he probably would have done the same.

"Tezuka! Can your arm still hold on?"

Muneyoshi looked at Tezuka and asked a question.

He never imagined he would get to experience Tezuka Kunimitsu all and gambling everything.

This sense of responsibility is familiar to him and makes his teammates trust him greatly.

This is also what makes Tezuka so appealing.

Tezuka glanced at his slightly swollen knees and completely swollen arms, and replied calmly, "Muneyoshi, I will never fall until I defeat you!"

Tezuka's words were cold and domineering, and only he knew how much pressure and motivation Saeki Muneyoshi's presence had given him.

Tezuka, who was proud of himself, witnessed firsthand how Saeki Muneyoshi, who was originally less skilled than him, gradually surpassed him to a point where he was now far ahead of him.

This was quite a blow to Tezuka, a proud man who had set lofty ambitions since childhood.

Muneyoshi knew Tezuka's personality well, so he just snorted and didn't try to persuade him further.

As his opponent, although I was impressed by his spirit, I didn't think of holding back.

Fudomine's two consecutive championships cannot be stopped by anyone.

All opponents who stand in their way will be wiped out.

The black glory belonging to Fudomine will spread throughout the entire Japan land.

A hint of coldness flashed in Muneyoshi's eyes; he was also getting tired of this kind of entanglement.

Although he thought he could break through Tezuka's Supreme Domain with basic ball skills.

But this was, after all, a world-class skill that had greatly benefited even Jürgen.

Given Muneyoshi's current understanding and foundation in rotation, breaking the barrier under self-imposed limitations would indeed be extremely difficult.

Then let's stop obsessing over finding a solution.

As Tezuka's strongest technique, Muneyoshi deserves his respect.

Upon seeing Tezuka strike that familiar pose again, Muneyoshi's eyes narrowed sharply, and he said calmly, "Tezuka, the path of tennis isn't paved with just one move!"

Swish!

The dark world once again enveloped Tezuka, and surging Dark Wave continued to wash over Tezuka.

Amidst the surging darkness, a nearly full crescent moon appeared above the domain.

A tall, silvery-white figure stood behind Muneyoshi.

Within the Different Dimension field, the rolling moonlight poured down, and "Saeki Muneyoshi's" figure grew enormous. He swung his katana down at Tezuka, and endless shadows began to tear at Tezuka.

As Muneyoshi swung his racket, a clear and loud bang echoed across the court.

Bang!

The interplay of moonlight and light, combined with the power of the Different Dimension Realm, turned the tide of the battle almost entirely in one direction.

"Game, Fudomine Saeki Muneyoshi, the score is 4-3."

Bang!

"Saeki Muneyoshi, 30-0."

Opposite Muneyoshi, the overwhelming pressure made Tezuka's movement even more difficult, and the astonishing destructive power tore his Supreme Domain beyond repair.

More importantly, Tezuka was no longer able to bend his knees and squat.

Bending his knee would cause intense pain, and it seemed as if he could no longer unleash the Supreme Domain; even raising his arm became a luxury.

Tezuka's struggle, barely able to stand or swing his Tezuka, was naturally observed by the Seigaku members.

Tezuka could hear the shouts, encouragement, and worries from the Seigaku members all around him.

However, after Muneyoshi obtained the Different Dimension Realm, these voices became increasingly distant, and were about to completely disappear from Tezuka's consciousness, which had reached its limit, in the next moment.

Sensing Tezuka's danger, Fuji Shusuke, his best friend, suddenly rushed to the very edge of the stands and shouted:

"Tezuka! Have you forgotten your own goal?"

This startled shout rang in Tezuka's ears as he was about to fall into unconsciousness, and in the endless darkness, the voice grew louder and louder.

Tezuka's mind, which was already on the verge of its limit, suddenly focused again. Fuji recalled the vow he made to Fuji under the setting sun to win the national championship.

I recalled my goal of becoming a professional gamer, which I set after returning from Germany.

"Ha, so I'm really that weak? I've become strong to become a professional player. Winning is just a stage on the road. Now even that goal has become a pipe dream?"

Tezuka's mind was in turmoil, and glimmers of light emanated from his heart, gradually dispelling the endless darkness before him.

A figure dressed in black and red striped clothes, with a full head of silver hair, stood opposite him, his eyes silent.

"Saeki... Muneyoshi!"

Suddenly, Tezuka seemed to realize something, and a dazzling light shone brightly around him once again.

The brilliant moonlight was so dazzling that even in broad daylight, it was almost blinding to the eyes of the audience.

What's going on?

"Didn't Saeki Muneyoshi prevent Tezuka from using the Cloudbreak again? How come he's used it again now that the match is almost over?"

"No, something's different. Have you noticed? This time, the Heavenly Tezuka activated seems a little different from before!"

As the light gradually faded, cyan particles of light shimmered around Tezuka, like twinkling starlight surrounding Tezuka.

At the same time, another ray of celestial light that had been suppressed within Tezuka's body was finally able to be activated.

The previously dormant blue light erupted again, pushing away a third of the darkness in Tezuka's half of the arena and driving away most of it once more.

Tezuka truly wrested his half of the field from Muneyoshi.

At that moment, Tezuka's eyes were filled with confidence.

"I need to concentrate fully, Muneyoshi!"
