"Since there's no first sentence, let's stick to the plan we agreed on at the beginning. You go first—"
He hasn't forgotten his initial promise.
Since he has chosen to let each of his teammates fully demonstrate their strength, then Oni Jujiro must become the first person in their team to fully showcase his abilities, proclaiming his power to everyone around him, and securing victory in the first round with an absolute crushing defeat.
Oni Jujiro did not refuse; on the contrary, he was extremely excited. He was an extremely assertive person with a very sharp and violent playing style, like a demon from hell collecting debts in the human world—so terrifying that it haunted people's dreams and filled them with fear at all times…
Demonstrating his strength is something he excels at; there's nothing he can't do now, and nothing he doesn't understand.
"Okay, I'll take the initiative in the front half of the court for the first round. If needed, I might ask for your help. Just give me some support then!"
Of course, it's also possible that Niou's help isn't needed at all, depending on how much of a role the two opponents can play in the match and how strong they are.
If these two cooperate flawlessly and he really can't handle them alone, then he'll need Niou's help. But if they're just ordinary doubles partners without any special skills, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
"good!"
King Ni readily agreed.
It was agreed from the beginning that the first round would be Oni Jujiro's home turf. Naturally, he wouldn't do anything extra, not even utter a single unnecessary word. He would only do what Oni Jujiro asked him to do, and if Oni Jujiro wished, he would be the best partner.
Conversely, if this person doesn't want to, then he will be the most superfluous person on the field.
"Let me start this battle!" Oni Jujiro raised his racket with great confidence, standing before the King of Men like a burly general on the battlefield.
"You two, are you ready? Accept my demonic wrath!" He won't hold back, and any ulterior motives you may have will be futile in his presence.
"So arrogant! I wonder if you even have the strength to be so arrogant. Don't think you can scare us just because you're big!"
The French team values a culture of freedom. Jonard only respects his own seniors; he never listens to others, and anyone who dares to speak to him like that shouldn't be surprised by his sarcastic remarks.
"Then you'll get to experience my tennis!" Oni Jujiro wasn't angry at being refuted. He always preferred to persuade people with reason and use his true skill to shut these guys up.
As for whether he has the ability to shut these guys up? Well, let's just wait and see.
bring it on!
Bang--
The battle began so suddenly, with the Japanese team's first server being Oni-Iro, who was also the main attacker. He didn't hold back at all, hitting the ball down with a rapid, relentless barrage!
On the French team's side, Jonard, who was the one who touched the tennis ball as soon as he went up, directly experienced the powerful arm strength and terrifying attack power of Kijuro.
Bang!
The first ball sent the tennis ball flying with a single impact. He simply couldn't handle the force of Oni Jujiro's shot; this guy wasn't just big and strong, his strength was terrifyingly formidable. It was horrifying—
"Where did these monsters come from? Why are they so terrifying? They look like—"
"Okay, okay, he looks really fierce, he's definitely not your average henchman!"
Edgar, who was standing nearby, said.
He had already figured it out; this guy was no ordinary person. Moreover, even if he couldn't tell, he wouldn't be wrong. This person was none other than Oni Jujiro, who had caused them a great deal of trouble last year. It was just that the junior next to him hadn't seen this guy before, which was why he thought this guy was just someone who looked fierce. In reality, this guy was extremely terrifying.
"This person's overall strength ranks among the top five in the Japanese team," he said.
Moreover, this data is very conservative, yet very accurate, so Japan has really sent out a very tricky person in this round, and the person they are talking about is not just Niou Masaharu.
"What exactly are they trying to do? Putting two people like that in a doubles match, and a doubles match at that, even if they want to win, this isn't the way to do it!"
Jonar clicked his tongue; he hated this nonsensical troop deployment, which completely disrupted everyone's plans and rhythm.
"That's their goal, isn't it? To disrupt our rhythm so they can easily secure the final victory..."
Edgar didn't understand what Niou was trying to do, but he knew that all of Niou's actions were aimed at preventing them from winning the final match.
In the end, as long as they don't win, regardless of Niou's motives, his goal has been achieved, and that's the best outcome.
Niou noticed the gazes coming from the other side, and could only say, "Hey guys, you're really overthinking it. I really didn't mean it that way."
"When will these guys understand that I simply want to play in a competition?"
"Haha, I probably won't really understand it!"
Oni Jujiro chuckled, a rare occurrence for him.
There's no way around it; normal people simply can't understand what Niou is doing.
Who would have thought that this strongest player, who had always held the top spot in singles and protected everyone, actually wanted to play a doubles match to prove his doubles skills? Although rumors had circulated for a long time that Niou was actually better at doubles, no one on the international stage believed that Niou really wanted to play doubles or was truly good at it.
They will only see what they want to see; they will see Niou as an excellent singles player with strong control over the game and his skills in controlling the field.
But they wouldn't know that Ren-ou's greatest strength during his first and second years of high school was actually doubles, and he really wanted to prove his doubles skills in this match.
