Chapter 19: Custom Racket, First Encounter with Echizen Ryoma

Akutagawa Jiro paused briefly before continuing.

"Challenge me first, then challenge Atobe later!"

"Besides, Atobe is different."

As Akutagawa Jiro spoke these words, he glanced toward the direction of Atobe Keigo.

Then, with a Deadpan Expression, he said to Kamishiro Aki.

"Although Atobe lost one set to you today,"

"he did not use his full strength. If you wish to challenge him, you may need some more time."

Seeing Akutagawa Jiro speak so seriously,

Kamishiro Aki felt it improper to refute his good intentions.

In fact, without him saying it, Kamishiro Aki understood as well.

The first match against Atobe Keigo today could not be counted as Atobe Keigo's full strength.

Usually, the first and second matches are both probing rounds for both sides.

In a probing round, it is impossible for the opponent to unleash their full strength.

Kamishiro Aki took Akutagawa Jiro's words to heart.

Afterwards, Kamishiro Aki also underwent Sakaki Taro's physical training.

Having obtained the Six Styles of the Marines, his stamina was by no means an issue.

He completed the physical training smoothly.

He did not even pant, merely sweating a little.

Seeing this, everyone was even more astonished!

"Doesn't this guy Kamishiro Aki get tired?"

Mukaeru Gakuto said while panting and taking deep breaths.

Shishido Ryo nearby was also taking deep breaths to relieve his fatigue.

He also nodded in agreement.

"This stamina is too monstrous!"

Atobe Keigo received Kamishiro Aki's latest status once again.

This stamina was indeed astonishing.

Even he himself needed a moment to recover.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Kamishiro Aki instinctively asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to practice tennis?"

Everyone waved their hands in denial.

What kind of joke is that? Just after running ten kilometers, where would they find the strength to practice tennis?

But what they did not know was that Kamishiro Aki felt nothing at all.

After a brief rest, Sakaki Taro ordered everyone to assemble.

When all the Hyotei club members had assembled, Kamishiro Aki realized that Hyotei actually had so many tennis club members.

At least three hundred!

Compared to other schools, that was several times more!

But unfortunately, the only ones capable of fighting within the entire Hyotei were the regular members.

Those who failed to become regulars were completely unworthy of notice.

However, during matches, the atmosphere was absolutely dialed up!

Among all schools, Hyotei had the largest cheerleading squad!

There were not only tennis club members but also a dedicated female student cheerleading squad.

Kamishiro Aki had only rested for a short while when he heard Sakaki Taro's voice announcing dismissal.

"Good! Today's training ends here. Dismissed."
