Chapter 313

After all, today was meant for relaxation.

Everyone else is playing beach volleyball; if I don't join, I'll seem out of place.

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki nodded.

"I have no problem with that."

After Kamishiro Aki agreed, Kaido Tezuka made another proposal.

"Since this is a friendly match, we shouldn't divide teams by school."

"Therefore, I propose we decide the teams by lottery."

This proposal was indeed good.

After all, it isn't an official match; it's just for fun.

Thus, everyone agreed to the proposal.

Afterwards, Kaido Tezuka prepared the lottery slips.

He then said,

"There are eighteen slips in total here, marked with either A or B."

"It's simple: draw an A for Team A, draw a B for Team B."

Everyone nodded.

The method of drawing lots was indeed simple and blunt.

The reason there are eighteen slips is that Tachibana Kaido did not come today.

He happened to be traveling with his family.

But it's just as well; otherwise, we would have had to leave one spot empty.

Afterwards, Kaido Tezuka brought the slips before Kamishiro Aki.

He then said,

"I made these slips; for fairness, you shuffle them, and then we draw."

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki took the slips directly.

Although made of paper, every single one looked almost identical.

Seeing that Kamishiro Aki was still observing, Kaido Tezuka explained further.

"I measured them with a ruler; every slip is the same size, and the folds are identical."

He actually measured them with a ruler?

Meticulous! Extremely meticulous!

Kamishiro Aki nodded, then he shuffled all the slips.

Immediately after, everyone gathered to draw.

When Inui Junji drew, he even prayed.

"Please let me be paired with Oishi!"

Hearing this, Oishi Shuichiro smiled with great satisfaction.

In contrast, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru were not so pleased.

"Please don't let me be paired with that stinky viper!"

"That's exactly what I should say! If I'm paired with you, the whole team will be dragged down by you!"

The two argued while each taking a slip from Kamishiro Aki's hand.

Momoshiro Takeshi hurriedly opened his.

"It's Team A!"

Seeing this, Kaido Kaoru also opened his slip.

"B! That's great; I'm not paired with you. Just watch me crush you!"

Afterwards, the two started arguing again.

Tezuka Kunimitsu drew one of the only two slips remaining in Kamishiro Aki's hand.

The last remaining slip belonged to Kamishiro Aki's own team.

When Kamishiro Aki opened his.

It was Team B!

All the slips had been drawn.

The team divisions are as follows.

Team A: Echizen Ryoma, Fuji Syusuke, Akutagawa Jirou, Inui Junji, Kawamura Takashi, Momoshiro Takeshi, Kaido Tezuka, Shishido Ryou, Oshitari Yuushi.

Team B: Kamishiro Aki, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Atobe Keigo, Mukahi Gakuto, Houou Choutarou, Kaido Kaoru, Oishi Shuichiro, Hijiri Wakaba.

This team division is outrageous.

Kamishiro Aki, Tezuka Kunimitsu, and Atobe Keigo are all on the same team!

Basically, the tallest players are already on one team.

This isn't tennis; for beach volleyball, height requirements are quite significant.

After the teams were formed, Kaido Tezuka made another proposal.

"For this beach volleyball match, we won't use the standard beach volleyball scoring system."

"Instead, we will calculate scores using the tennis scoring method."

"The match rules are best of five sets."

"Each team will alternate between singles and doubles matches."

"If both the singles and doubles matches are won, that team wins; if one wins and one loses, the final set will feature any combination and continue the match."

Kaido Tezumi briefly explained the rules.

This is good; following tennis scoring rules, everyone is already familiar with them.

After all, some people do not know all the rules of beach volleyball.

Finally, Kaido Tezumi suddenly flashed a sinister smile and said.

"By the way, although this is a friendly match, it is still a competition."

"So the losing team must accept a penalty."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone instantly perked up!

It was not excitement, but panic!

Atobe Keigo's face even turned a bit pale.

He would absolutely never forget the vegetable juice Kaido Tezumi had mixed.

And others had also seen Atobe Keigo drink Kaido's juice; a sense of fear surged in their hearts.

Kikumaru Eiji asked with a trembling voice.

"Could it be..."

Kaido Tezumi nodded and smiled.

"That's right, my new creation!"

"Special sardine sauce!"

Immediately after, he produced a cup of eerie, dark-green drink from who knows where!

The scent wafting through the air alone was enough to make one suffocate!

Smelling that scent, even Tezuka Kunimitsu couldn't help but encourage the members of Team B.

"Everyone, focus completely and go for it!"

"Please, you must win!"

Seeing his determined eyes, Atobe Keigo couldn't help but undermine him and ask.

"Tezuka, you wouldn't dare to drink this cup of sardine sauce, would you?"

Seeing this, Tezuka Kunimitsu spoke with a calm expression.

"No, I just think that since it is a competition, we should focus completely and go for it!"

As he said this, Kamishiro Aki smiled and shook his head.

This was completely a stubborn duck refusing to admit defeat!

However, Kamishiro Aki now had a reason to be certain of victory!

Because he truly did not want to drink this special sardine sauce.

Just from the scent wafting into the air, one could tell this drink was extremely disgusting.
