Chapter 10

~7 min read 1,255 words

The tennis ball crossed the net and flew toward Ryoma Echizen.

Ryoma Echizen quickly locked onto the tennis ball.

But he found that this ball was very ordinary, with no changes at all.

However, he still locked onto it very seriously and swung his racket.

But the moment the racket was about to hit the tennis ball, Ryoma Echizen clearly saw the tennis ball suddenly become like paper.

It dodged his racket in a very strange way!

The next instant, he swung at thin air!

And the tennis ball smashed heavily inside the baseline.

The point was valid.

"40:0!"

This shot left the onlookers puzzled.

Why?

They clearly saw Ryoma Echizen's racket hit the tennis ball.

But they didn't hear the sound of the racket hitting the ball.

And the tennis ball landed behind Ryoma Echizen.

Completely incomprehensible. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

But Ryoma Echizen was different.

He knew the tennis ball hadn't been hit by his racket at all.

Because he possessed super-strong dynamic vision that these onlookers didn't have.

With this dynamic vision, he was very sensitive to moving objects.

So he could see more clearly.

But he also couldn't understand why the tennis ball hit by Kamishiro Aki would automatically avoid his racket.

However, Ryoma Echizen had also deeply realized Kamishiro Aki's strength!

He could no longer look down on Kamishiro Aki.

Or rather, he couldn't afford to look down on him.

At this time, Kamishiro Aki naturally spun his racket and smiled at Ryoma Echizen.

"This move is called the Paper Drawing Curveball."

Paper Drawing Curveball?

Ryoma Echizen remembered this name.

"The tennis ball swings like a paper drawing, so it's called the Paper Drawing Curveball?"

His low mutter was heard by no one.

After Ryoma Echizen was silent for a long while, he said to Kamishiro Aki.

"Hey, my name is Ryoma Echizen, what's yours?"

Ryoma Echizen actually took the initiative to ask for his name.

Kamishiro Aki thought he was a bit cute.

Such a tsundere person also has days like this.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki smiled.

"Kamishiro Aki."

Hearing this name, Ryoma Echizen smiled.

"Kamishiro Aki, no wonder, your racket has a 'God' character on it."

After speaking, Ryoma Echizen spun his racket and then tucked it under his arm.

He said as he walked.

"I'm done playing, that's it for today."

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki was very surprised.

He remembered that Ryoma Echizen wasn't a player who would interrupt a match.

At this time, Ryoma Echizen put his racket into his racket bag.

After putting on his jacket, he said to Kamishiro Aki.

"For private matches like this, it's better if we don't play."

"Since you're from Hyotei, I hope we can decide the winner in a match."

"Don't lose in the regional preliminaries."

After speaking, Ryoma Echizen left the public court.

Kamishiro Aki watched Ryoma Echizen walk away and didn't stop him.

That's true, they would meet sooner or later.

And private matches between their schools.

It would be a loss if someone reported it.

Before a match, private matches are not allowed; once discovered and reported, there's a possibility of losing eligibility for the match.

Kamishiro Aki just wanted to spar with Ryoma Echizen.

He suddenly forgot that he was still wearing his Hyotei uniform.

But this is also fine, it's better to win against him fair and square in a match.

Because this match wasn't an official match judged by the system.

Even if he won, there were no points.

But in that case, Kamishiro Aki had to become a Hyotei regular first.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualification to play.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Aki quickly packed his gear and walked toward home.

Seeing that both of them had left, the others on the public court spontaneously started other matches.

Kamishiro Aki had a very fulfilling day.

Therefore, he slept very soundly.

The next day, he got up early and went to school.

Hyotei's teaching method is very interesting, not rote memorization.

But guided by various relevant examples.

Kamishiro Aki studied very seriously.

Although he wanted to achieve something in his professional tennis career.

He didn't want to fall behind in his academic studies either.

Well-rounded development, right?

The day passed quickly, and it was soon time to leave school.

For others, it was time to go home and play.

But for Kamishiro Aki, it was time for tennis training.

And also part-time work.

Today should count as his first real day of work.

Kamishiro Aki just arrived at the tennis club and changed into his sportswear.

Jirou Akutagawa popped out from somewhere and shouted at Kamishiro Aki.

"Wow!"

Kamishiro Aki was expressionless.

Seeing this, Jirou Akutagawa was very discouraged.

But he quickly adjusted.

He said.

"I didn't expect you to be so calm, even this couldn't scare you."

As he spoke, Jirou Akutagawa put his hand on Kamishiro Aki's shoulder.

It seemed this guy really wanted to get his challenge letter.

Kamishiro Aki still felt it was better to tell him sooner.

He said to Jirou Akutagawa.

"Senior Akutagawa, there's a match this week, right."

Jirou Akutagawa nodded.

"Yeah, it seems we're playing against someone called something-Feng."

"What's wrong?"

He actually asked back, didn't Jirou Akutagawa's brain turn?

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki mentioned it.

"Since there's a match, wouldn't challenge day be canceled?"

Jirou Akutagawa was stunned when he heard this.

Then he suddenly shouted.

"Oh no! I forgot about that rule!"

"What should we do? Doesn't that mean Kamishiro can't play with us?"

"No, what about the duel between you and me?"

Kamishiro Aki spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

"I also want to know what to do."

At this time, Keigo Atobe also changed into his sportswear and walked over. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====

Just happened to hear what they were discussing.

He said.

"This problem is easy to solve."

"Just have Coach Sakaki promote you to a temporary regular."

"Just make up the challenge on the next challenge day."

"But in that case, Kamishiro, you will definitely be questioned by many people, are you willing?"

Can it be done like this?

Hearing him say this, Jirou Akutagawa got excited.

"Great! Kamishiro can play with us!"

"Kamishiro, don't forget our duel!"

Kamishiro Aki nodded.

"Okay, I'll challenge you first on challenge day, Senior Akutagawa, you also need to be prepared."

Seeing Kamishiro Aki agree, Jirou Akutagawa was overjoyed.

At this time, Keigo Atobe said in a teasing tone.

"So, you don't intend to challenge me anymore?"

It was clear he was unhappy.

Kamishiro Aki quickly smiled.

"Not at all, if I can't even defeat Senior Akutagawa, it means my tennis skills still need polishing."

Keigo Atobe could accept this explanation.

At this time, Kamishiro Aki changed the subject and said.

"This match is against Fudomine, right?"

Keigo Atobe nodded.

"That's right, it's against Fudomine, but that's just a third-rate school, it shouldn't be worth worrying about."

Sure enough, hearing Keigo Atobe say this.

Kamishiro Aki already knew why Hyotei would lose to Fudomine.

It turned out to be because they were too arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Because they underestimated the enemy, the personnel arrangements were all done casually.

Fudomine could also be considered a team that made it into the national top eight.

Their strength shouldn't be underestimated.

At least Hyotei at this stage couldn't underestimate this team.

So, Kamishiro Aki had to have a good talk with Keigo Atobe about Fudomine.

He didn't want Hyotei, with him in it, to lose to Fudomine again. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
