Chapter 25

But Ryoma Echizen was different.

He knew the tennis ball had never actually been struck by his racket.

Because he possessed superhuman dynamic vision that the surrounding spectators lacked.

Under this dynamic vision, he was extremely sensitive to moving objects.

So he could see much more clearly.

But he still could not understand why the tennis ball struck by Kamishiro Aki automatically avoided his racket.

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

He could no longer underestimate Kamishiro Aki.

Or rather, he could not afford to underestimate him.

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

"This move is called Paper-Drawn Smash."

Paper-Drawn Smash?

Ryoma Echizen remembered this name.

"The tennis ball sways like a paper drawing, so it's called Paper-Drawn Smash?"

His low muttering was heard by no one.

After a long silence, Ryoma Echizen spoke to Kamishiro Aki.

"Hey, I'm Ryoma Echizen. What's your name?"

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

Kamishiro Aki found him a bit cute.

Even such a tsundere person has a day like this.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki smiled.

"Kamishiro Aki."

Hearing this name, Ryoma Echizen broke into a smile.

"Kamishiro Aki, no wonder your racket has the character 'Shen' on it."

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

He was seen walking away while saying.

"No more playing. That's it for today."

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki was quite surprised.

He remembered Ryoma Echizen was not the type of player to interrupt a match.

At this moment, Ryoma Echizen put his racket away into his tennis bag.

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

"For private matches like this, we'd better not play."

"Since you are from Hyotei, I hope we decide the winner on the actual court."

"Don't lose in the preliminary regional qualifiers."

After speaking, Ryoma Echizen left this public tennis court.

Kamishiro Aki watched Ryoma Echizen walk away and still did not stop him.

True enough, they would meet sooner or later.

Besides, their schools holding private matches against each other.

If reported, it would be a loss greater than the gain.

On the eve of a tournament, private matches are forbidden; if discovered and reported, one likely faces the possibility of losing qualification for the tournament.

Kamishiro Aki had just wanted to spar with Ryoma Echizen.

He had momentarily forgotten he was still wearing the Hyotei uniform.

But this is for the best; it would be even better to defeat him fairly on the tournament court.

Because this match was not an official match recognized by the System.

Even if he won, there would be no points.

But with this situation, Kamishiro Aki first had to become a regular member of the Hyotei team.

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

Thinking this, Kamishiro Aki quickly finished packing his gear and walked toward home.

Seeing both of them leave, the others at the public tennis court spontaneously started other matches.

All day long, Kamishiro Aki spent his time very fulfillingly.

Therefore, he slept very soundly.

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

Hyotei's teaching method was interesting; it was not rote memorization.

Instead, it used various relevant examples to guide students.

Kamishiro Aki studied very seriously.

Although he wanted to achieve great things on the professional tennis path.

He also did not want to fall behind in his academic subjects.

Comprehensive development, after all.

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

For others, it was time to go home and have fun.

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

At the same time, he worked a part-time job.

Today should count as his first real day on the job.

Kamishiro Aki had just arrived at the tennis club and changed into his sports uniform.

Akutagawa Jiro appeared out of nowhere and shouted at Kamishiro Aki.

"Wow!"

Kamishiro Aki's expression was blank.

Seeing this, Akutagawa Jiro was deeply shaken.

However, he quickly readjusted himself.

He was seen saying.

"I didn't expect you to be so calm; even that couldn't scare you."

As he spoke, Akutagawa Jiro placed his hand on Kamishiro Aki's shoulder.

It seemed this person really wanted to receive his challenge letter.

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

He was seen saying to Akutagawa Jiro.

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

Akutagawa Jiro nodded.

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

"What's wrong?"

He even asked back; did Akutagawa Jiro's brain not catch on?

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki mentioned one thing.

"Since there's a match, then the challenge day will be canceled, won't it?"

Upon hearing this, Akutagawa Jiro froze completely.

Then he suddenly shouted.

"Oh no! I forgot about that rule!"

"So what do we do? Does that mean Kamishiro can't play with us?"

"No, what about the Showdown Between you and me?"

Kamishiro Aki shrugged his hands, expressing helplessness.

"I also want to know what to do."

At this moment, Atobe Keigo, having also changed into his sports uniform, walked over.
