Chapter 29: Hyotei vs Yamabuki

A week passed very quickly.

Finally, it was Saturday.

The day Hyotei played against Yamabuki Middle School.

Previously, Seigaku played against St. Rudolph.

Seigaku won, and St. Rudolph entered the losers' bracket.

Similarly, in the match between Hyotei and Fudomine, Fudomine entered the losers' bracket.

Currently, the top four of the Metropolitan Tournament were Seigaku, Yamabuki, Hyotei, and Ginka.

This weekend was the round-robin for the top four.

In other words, after playing Yamabuki, the next opponent would be Seigaku.

As for Ginka, even if Sakaki Taro sent the second team, no, the third team, they would still win.

And now, Kamishiro Aki had arrived early.

He came very quickly today.

But still not as fast as Keigo Atobe.

Yushi Oshitari was the same.

This week, these two had almost stayed together.

Like conjoined twins.

Kamishiro Aki was originally a paid sparring partner, but in the end, Kamishiro Aki didn't have him spar.

But that was fine too.

Kamishiro Aki had spent this week very easily and comfortably.

Just guiding the regular members during club training after school and acting as a sparring partner.

Easily earning a daily salary of 100,000 yen, it couldn't be better!

And it was paid daily.

Calculating it, Kamishiro Aki had nearly a million in his account (not much, just about 50,000 Chinese yuan).

At this time, Keigo Atobe greeted him.

"Kamishiro, you're also very early this time."

Kamishiro Aki nodded.

At the same time, another person arrived.

Unexpectedly, it was Ryo Shishido, who had cut his hair short.

If following the anime's timeline, Ryo Shishido should have cut his hair short only by the Kanto Tournament.

But now he had already cut his hair as a vow early on.

It seemed that Kamishiro Aki's arrival had already affected the original timeline.

It could be considered a butterfly effect.

But none of this was important.

As long as he could play tennis in a match, Kamishiro Aki didn't care much about what he had affected.

Seeing it was still early, Kamishiro Aki greeted Keigo Atobe and went to buy a drink.

Although it was early, it was already unbearably hot.

If he didn't drink something cool, it was really uncomfortable.

At this time, he happened to run into Ryoma Echizen, who had also come to buy juice.

At the same time, he saw the injuries on his body.

Good guy.

Needless to say, it must have been that guy Jin Akutsu who did it.

Seeing he couldn't beat him, he turned to bully people from Seigaku.

It seemed that Kamishiro Aki's existence only affected those around him.

Like Ryoma Echizen, who was destined to be beaten, could only be beaten.

But it looked like the injuries were almost healed.

At this time, Jin Akutsu happened to pass by.

He glanced over here and showed a wicked smile.

As if enjoying his record.

But when he saw Kamishiro Aki was also there, he left without looking back.

Kamishiro Aki was also a bit surprised.

That shouldn't be, he only kicked him twice, he shouldn't be that scared.

And at this time, Ryoma Echizen took the initiative to greet him.

"Morning."

Kamishiro Aki nodded and replied.

"Morning."

Then Ryoma Echizen put in a 100-yen coin and chose a bottle of juice.

Following that, the juice fell down with a clatter.

He picked it up, took a sip, and asked Kamishiro Aki, who was operating the vending machine.

"Did that guy go looking for you too?"

Kamishiro Aki chose a bottle of iced cola.

"Clatter!"

He picked it up, opened it, took a sip, nodded, and said.

"Yeah, but I kicked him twice."

Seeing this, Ryoma Echizen looked at Kamishiro Aki blankly for a moment, then took another sip of juice.

Immediately, he said.

"You're not bad, I really envy your height."

"That guy is really reckless."

Ryoma Echizen was only 1.5 meters tall.

Encountering the 1.8-meter Jin Akutsu, there was indeed no suspense.

Even if Ryoma Echizen was injured to protect someone.

But if it were a one-on-one, Ryoma Echizen's physique was completely no match for Jin Akutsu.

At this time, a girl with double braids ran over here.

Kamishiro Aki recognized her at a glance.

It was Sakuno Ryuzaki.

Coming along with her was Tomoka Osakada.

When Sakuno Ryuzaki saw Ryoma Echizen, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she said to Ryoma Echizen in a soft voice.

"Ryoma, Captain Tezuka wants you to go back and report."

Seeing this, Ryoma Echizen nodded.

"Okay, going back now."

Immediately, he turned to Kamishiro Aki and said.

"Kamishiro, see you on the court."

Kamishiro Aki shook the iced cola in his hand and smiled.

"See you on the court."

Afterwards, Kamishiro Aki also turned and walked toward the Hyotei Academy reporting area.

At the same time, Tomoka Osakada stood frozen on the spot, looking at Kamishiro Aki's back and acting like a fan.

"So handsome!"

"He must be Kamishiro Aki!"

"How can he be so handsome!"

Kamishiro Aki felt Tomoka Osakada staring at him.

He got goosebumps all over.

So, he quickened his pace and returned to the reporting area.

At the same time, all the regular members of Hyotei had arrived!

He returned just in time.

Seeing Kamishiro Aki return, Sakaki Taro said to the staff.

"Hyotei Academy reporting."

Immediately, he took out a form and said.

"This is the lineup sheet."

Kamishiro Aki was right next to him.

He glanced at it slightly.

Doubles 2, Ryo Shishido and Chotaro Ohtori!

Doubles 1, Jiro Akutagawa and Gakuto Mukahi!

Singles 3, Kamishiro Aki!

Singles 2, Yushi Oshitari!

Singles 1, Munehiro Kabaji!

This lineup surprised Kamishiro Aki a bit.

Unexpectedly, Keigo Atobe wasn't sent to play.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki looked at Keigo Atobe.

Keigo Atobe also noticed.

He explained.

"I won't be playing in this match."

"So you guys have to find a way to win the match."

But soon, Kamishiro Aki understood.

The reason Keigo Atobe wasn't playing was simple.

It was nothing more than wanting to save more energy to face Kunimitsu Tezuka with full force!

But he didn't know if Seigaku would let him have his wish.

Reporting ended.

Sakaki Taro led all the Hyotei Academy regulars into the waiting area.

And as soon as they entered, the Hyotei cheerleading squad shouted as usual.

"Hyotei! Hyotei!"

"Victory! Victory!"

Sure enough, having a cheerleading squad is different.

Morale is still very important.

At this time, Kamishiro Aki noticed Jin Akutsu's gaze.

When he looked over.

Jin Akutsu made a throat-slitting gesture at Kamishiro Aki.

Seeing him like this, he must have accepted the challenge.

In other words, Jin Akutsu would face Kamishiro Aki directly in the Singles 3 position.

Kamishiro Aki certainly couldn't let Jin Akutsu be so arrogant.

He naturally had to fight back.

He made a thumbs-down gesture at Jin Akutsu and then a throat-slitting gesture!

It could be considered a return gift!

Afterwards, Jin Akutsu didn't make any other moves but just kept staring at Kamishiro Aki.

At this time, the referee shouted.

"The match between Hyotei Academy and Yamabuki Middle School officially begins!"

"Will the Doubles 2 players from both sides please get ready!"
