Chapter 24: Am I a taunting face?

~7 min read 1,269 words

The so-called street tennis court belongs to public facilities, but because this is a tennis world, it indeed gathered a large number of people.

Because the lights are bright enough, and this street tennis court seems to be quite famous nearby, people with a little strength often choose to show off here, so over time, it started to become lively.

When the sky gradually darkened, Shengzai also discovered that besides him and An, there were many young people who also came for dates, as well as some people playing skateboards.

And the tennis court is right in the middle of this square. It can be said that there are many onlookers, which is indeed a holy place for showing off.

"Is this the hidden dragon and crouching tiger you mentioned? And the people on the court don't look like middle school students at all. Your abacus for collecting information is probably going to fail."

Because An said before that the street tennis court also has masters, Shengzai specifically paid attention to it.

But after a few matches, Shengzai discovered that the level of the people on the court was quite ordinary. He couldn't say completely amateur, he could only say barely passerby level.

However, where there is a place to show off, there is naturally no shortage of protagonists.

Just when Shengzai expressed lack of interest in this and was even preparing to leave, two students, one tall and one short, carrying tennis bags, suddenly came to this tennis court.

Of these two tall and short figures, the short one wore a duck-billed cap, and the tall one had a very conspicuous black hedgehog flat top.

After the two went on the court, relying on serving and returning, they defeated more than a dozen combinations on the court one after another, which can be said to have pulled the attention on the court to the full.

The rule of the street tennis court is one game to decide the winner, the challenger serves, and this court only plays doubles.

And when seeing the two people showing off their power on the court, An was also stunned with wide eyes.

Although she had sworn to Shengzai before that the street tennis court had masters, she herself knew very well that the so-called masters here were not comparable to those tennis famous school players at all.

An used to come to this street tennis court to play often, but for the duo that appeared suddenly today, she didn't know them at all.

"I didn't expect you to guess it right this time, there really are regional tournament players coming here to play tennis."

Prince of Tennis belongs to a long-running anime, Shengzai couldn't remember all the plots, only the general main plot and some more exciting matches.

And when hearing Shengzai's words, An also looked at the former with a question mark face.

"They are the strong enemies of our regional tournament, official members of the Seigaku tennis club."

"The short first-year student wearing a hat is a first-year student of Seigaku, called Echizen Ryoma."

"Don't look at him always using his right hand to play, but actually this guy is left-handed. Although he is not tall, he is particularly good at showing off."

"The hedgehog head one is called Momoshiro Takeshi, a second-year student of Seigaku, good at bullet serves and dunk smashes."

"Explosive power and insight are very strong, but the personality is quite impulsive."

An, who was already confused, was stunned on the spot when she heard Shengzai's revelations.

Because this is too outrageous, not to mention how Shengzai knew the names of the official members of the Seigaku tennis club, what is exaggerated is that Shengzai even knew their personalities and moves so clearly.

If it weren't for the fact that she, Tachibana An, had known Shengzai since the first year and had been in the same class, she would even suspect at this moment that Shengzai was an undercover sent by Seigaku.

"Are they both doubles players of Seigaku?"

Although she didn't know why Shengzai knew so much, as the strong enemy of Fudomine in the regional tournament, An was still quite curious about the two.

"Doubles? No, no, they are both very strong singles players. Seigaku's doubles strength is very weak, and the doubles they formed are even more trashy."

"The reason why it looks strong now is just because the opponents here are too weak."

"If it is really as you said, this street tennis court has slightly stronger doubles players, they should be taught how to behave soon."

Almost at the same time Shengzai's voice fell, a combination named Izumi and Nunokawa appeared on the court as challengers.

Although the strength of Izumi and Nunokawa, in Shengzai's view, was also plain, but as tacit doubles players, they soon discovered the problems between Ryoma and Momoshiro.

So soon, Ryoma and Momoshiro were beaten up by others, and even mocked by others face to face.

"Although their individual strength is very strong, the doubles are a mess."

"Shengzai, did you make a mistake before? Are they really Seigaku's starters? The strength of the regional tournament's first seed, if it is really only this level, it is too disappointing."

Although quite unwilling, they lost, and originally Ryoma and Momoshiro were ready to leave, but when they left the court, the words of a certain girl in the crowd made their footsteps stop at the same time.

Shengzai turned to look at his side helplessly, and a certain girl who was the culprit, at this moment, looked at him and cute stuck out her tongue and said: "It's not easy to meet Seigaku's starters here, don't you want to play against them?"

"Can also collect some of their information, or see their strength?"

Since learning that Ryoma and Momoshiro were Seigaku's starters, An became interested in the two.

However, it is a pity that the rules of the street tennis court are only one game to decide the winner.

Plus the strength of Izumi and Nunokawa, which really couldn't let Seigaku's two exert anything, so An deliberately provoked just now.

"Although I don't know who you are, please take back what you just said." —— Momoshiro Takeshi

"Very daring, if so, do you want to play a game?" —— Echizen Ryoma

Ding, An used provocation on Seigaku first-year Echizen Ryoma and second-year Momoshiro Takeshi.

Ding, the effect is excellent!

If it were other third-year students of Seigaku on the scene, An's provocation just now would probably not have much effect.

However, the target is Seigaku's first and second years, so the effect can only be described as excellent.

Looking at Shengzai who didn't speak, Ryoma and Momoshiro were obviously a bit dissatisfied. Clearly, the one who provoked was Shengzai and the two of them, but now after provoking, the other party didn't dare to fight.

"Did you make a mistake? The one who said you were not good just now was her, not me."

"Even if you want to prove yourself, you should play against her. I am purely a passerby, okay?"

Looking at the two who were emotionally excited, Shengzai was also a bit inexplicable. Clearly, the one who opened the taunt was An, not him. Why did they all come at him? Could it be because he looks stronger?

Shengzai, who didn't want to cause trouble, was just about to slip away, but the girl beside him suddenly hugged his arm and said: "We are both from Fudomine Middle School, and also players of your Seigaku regional tournament."
