Nagoya Seidoku

Soon after Muneyoshi left, Seigaku quickly wrapped up the remaining two matches.

In the second doubles match, Oishi and Kikumaru didn't activate Synchronization, but still defeated their opponents 6–1.

In Singles 1, Momoshiro Takeshi got drawn into a fierce struggle with Renji Hitoshi, but still won 6–3.

Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Shusuke didn't play in Seigaku's match against Higa Junior High.

Apart from Fudomine and Seigaku, several other powerhouse tennis schools—including Rikkai Dai, Shitenhoji, Yamabuki, and Nagoya Seidoku—also defeated their opponents and secured places in the National Tournament quarterfinals.

She would gather information on Fudomine's opponent in the next round.

"The upcoming match is between Kanto representatives Fudomine Junior High and Chubu representatives Nagoya Seidoku!"

"Will the players from both teams please enter the court!"

At the tournament announcer's call, the players from Fudomine and Nagoya Seidoku entered the court, led by their respective coaches.

"Please play your best!"

"Please play your best~"

Nagoya Seidoku's coach looked at Hanamura Aoi and the others across the court with undisguised contempt.
