The Golden Generation Opens

"The department head is invincible."

"Hyotei will win."

"The Department Head is invincible."

At this moment, behind Kannagi Shinichi stood dozens of members of the Hyotei tennis club, shouting in unison. It was abrupt but somewhat awe-inspiring on the court.

"No way, is Shinichi Kannagi the club president of the Hyotei tennis club?"

"Becoming club president in his first year, is the future of Hyotei all riding on him?"

"I'm so envious, becoming department head before even enrolling in school."

"If you had Kannagi Shinichi's skill, you could be the department head too."

The crowd outside the court buzzed with discussion, while on the court, Kannagi Shinichi and Tachibana Kippei had clasped hands.

"Kannagi Shinichi."

"Tachibana Kippei."

"The quarterfinals of the National Elementary School Tennis Tournament are about to begin. Tachibana Kippei vs. Kannagi Shinichi. Tachibana Kippei will serve first."

"Hoo." Tachibana Kippei looked at Kannagi Shinichi opposite him and let out a long breath.

Only when facing him directly did Tachibana Kippei realize how powerful Kannagi Shinichi's aura was, putting immense pressure on him.

But at the same time, he was also excited. It was precisely because such opponents existed that tennis was interesting.

Calming his emotions, Tachibana Kippei tossed the tennis ball high into the air and swung his racket down.

Bang!

The tennis ball turned into a yellow streak of light, like a cannonball, flying towards Kannagi Shinichi's side of the court. This shot was incredibly fast and powerful.

Thump!

Facing the incoming ball, Kannagi Shinichi's expression was calm. Although Tachibana Kippei's serve was of extremely high quality, both its speed and power were far inferior to Kannagi Shinichi's own serve.

He flickered, instantly appearing in front of the tennis ball. His strength, far surpassing that of his peers, created his current powerful explosive force, making his short-distance movement speed incredibly fast.

He swung his racket with force.

Boom!

The speed of the return was slightly faster than Tachibana Kippei's serve, flying towards the opposite court with a powerful roar.

Facing Kannagi Shinichi's return, Tachibana Kippei was fully prepared. He could feel the power of this shot, so he gripped his racket with both hands and returned the ball with all his might.

Perhaps because Kannagi Shinichi's return was too fast, or perhaps because the ball's power was too great, Tachibana Kippei's return was not of high quality.

This gave Kannagi Shinichi the opportunity to unleash his two-handed Thunderclap Eight Trigrams.

He took a step back, gripped his racket with both hands, and assumed a stance. The muscles hidden beneath his clothes instantly tensed.

Before this match, Kannagi Shinichi had never used a special move against his opponents; his physical strength alone was enough to crush them. But this time, facing Tachibana Kippei, Kannagi Shinichi used a special move for the first time in this tournament.

"T-wo... H-and... T-hunderclap... E-ight... T-rigrams...!"

Kannagi Shinichi swung his racket into an afterimage. The tennis ball emitted bursts of thunderous sounds as it flew straight forward.

A distinct wave of air spread outwards along the trajectory of the tennis ball, followed by a thunderous roar that shook the entire court. The thunderous sound even caused temporary discomfort in the ears of many spectators.

He hadn't returned the previous shot; he was blown away entirely by the air pressure from the ball itself.

Tachibana Kippei's eyes were bloodshot, his heart filled with despair. The gap was simply too vast. Was this the man known as "the second legend"?

Tachibana Kippei stood up with a bitter smile. He couldn't even return the opponent's shots. How ignorant had he been before, thinking he could have a good match against this man at the pinnacle of the new era of tennis.

Even though he knew there was no possibility of winning, Tachibana Kippei would never give up. Because giving up would mean abandoning the possibility of continued growth.

"0:15, K-Kannagi Shinichi scores." Even the referee was startled by the shot, his voice trembling as he announced the score.

Hyotei, victory! Captain, victory!

Hyotei, victory! Captain, victory!

The Hyotei club members below the stands had flushed faces as they roared loudly after witnessing that shot. This was their new Hyotei captain, Kannagi Shinichi, a man who stood on the court like a god.

The spectators below looked at the figure standing on the court in disbelief, murmuring continuously.

"Hey, hey, this is terrifying. No one could return that shot."

"Monster. Kannagi Shinichi is a monster."

"If that shot hit someone, they'd definitely die."

Shishido Ryo and Mukahi Gakuto, watching from the stands, also saw that shot.

Shock. That was the only word to describe their state of mind at that moment.

Kannagi Shinichi was unbelievably strong. Their eyes were filled with fervor.

"Shishido, let's join the Hyotei tennis club together when we get to middle school," Mukahi Gakuto said to Shishido Ryo, but his gaze was fixed on Kannagi Shinichi on the court nearby, not even looking at his friend Akutagawa Jirou.

"Okay." Shishido Ryo nodded coolly, but his eyes were burning with passion as he looked at Kannagi Shinichi's figure.

Sakaki Taro, sitting by the side of the court, ignored the surrounding discussions about Kannagi Shinichi. He was unfazed by the power of Kannagi Shinichi's move.

After all, he had witnessed Kannagi Shinichi's true skills, those that were like a god or a demon.

At this moment, he was very satisfied with Kannagi Shinichi and also very glad that he had brought him to Hyotei.

The commotion outside the court continued, but the match on the court had already resumed, with the tennis ball flying back and forth across the court.

"0:30, Kannagi Shinichi scores!"

"0:40, Kannagi Shinichi scores!"

"Game, 1:0, Kannagi Shinichi leads."

Bang!

Another Thunderclap Eight Trigrams with both hands.

"Game, 4:0, Kannagi Shinichi leads."

Bang!

"Game, 5:0, Kannagi Shinichi leads."

"Match end, 6:0, Kannagi Shinichi wins."

Although Tachibana Kippei was strong, just one step away from reaching the national level, he had encountered Kannagi Shinichi.

Therefore, there was no suspense in the match outcome. Kannagi Shinichi didn't lose a single point throughout the entire match, sweeping Tachibana Kippei 6:0.

Ever since his Five-Dimensional Power broke through 7, Kannagi Shinichi knew that among his peers, he was already an invincible existence.

"Hiss, I can't believe Tachibana Kippei, who hadn't lost a single point in his previous matches, didn't score a single point in this one."

"I originally thought this match would be evenly matched, but I didn't expect it to end in a sweep."

"It's not that Tachibana Kippei wasn't strong enough, it's that Kannagi Shinichi is too strong. I'm afraid no one his age can be his opponent." On the stands, Coach Bandou of Yamabuki Middle School looked at Kannagi Shinichi with great admiration.

Beside him, Seigaku's coach Ryuzaki Sumire looked at Kannagi Shinichi on the court with a complex expression, murmuring, "If only he could join Seigaku."

After saying that, she looked at Sakaki Taro, who was wearing a brown-red suit by the side of the court, her eyes filled with envy.

On the court, Kannagi Shinichi walked to the net with his racket and extended his hand. "Although I won this match, you played very well."

"Really?" Tachibana Kippei smiled wryly and extended his hand, his eyes a little dim.

Since he started playing tennis, he had never imagined that the difference in skill between him and another person would be so vast.

"Don't feel resentful. After all, losing to me is nothing to be ashamed of. Moreover, out of respect for you, I used my signature technique. You're the first person in this tournament that I've actively used my special move against."

"I guess I am quite honored." The dimness on Tachibana Kippei's face disappeared, replaced by a slight smile. He shook Kannagi Shinichi's hand.

The two of them smiled at each other after their conversation and then walked off the court.

This match took a very short time, only ten minutes. Kannagi Shinichi thought his match time was short enough, but there was one person who finished even faster than him.

This person was not Sanada Genichiro, nor Yukimura Seiichi.

It was Sengoku Kiyosumi, who kept saying "lucky" there.
