Kamishiro Aki thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was important now was that he needed to go to a tennis club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to incorporate Thunder Breathing into his serves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could master this, perhaps he could hit a ball speed exceeding the Mach serve!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Kamishiro Aki thought about it, the more excited he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He practiced at the tennis club all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he skillfully applied Thunder Breathing to his serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, Kamishiro Aki slept very soundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, he got up early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because today was the match against Seigaku.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were two matches today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were happening simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was Yamabuki Middle School and Ginka Middle

definitely win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginka Middle School was no match at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was the match everyone was watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seishun Academy versus Hyotei Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki arrived at the venue early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he discovered that he was actually the first one there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Atobe Keigo and Oshitari Yuushi hadn't arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, he decided to go buy an iced cola to quench his thirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was still early in the morning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the weather was already very hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he went to buy the iced cola, he saw Akutsu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Akutsu Jin also saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Akutsu Jin walked straight toward Kamishiro Aki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he didn't know what Akutsu Jin wanted to do,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki wasn't afraid at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to fighting, he couldn't beat him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to playing, it was the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for a sneak attack, that was even more impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Kamishiro Aki could think much, Akutsu Jin was already in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't speak, but silently took out a 100-yen coin and put it into the vending machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose a chestnut-flavored soda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soda can fell, and he bent down to pick it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin opened the can, took a sip, and said to Kamishiro Aki,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kamishiro Aki, losing to you yesterday was because I underestimated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But today, I will definitely beat

today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about it carefully, this guy didn't even want to learn tennis techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly pay attention to the tournament structure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki took a sip of iced cola and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akutsu, I think you've got it wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today's matches are only Hyotei vs. Seigaku and you guys, Yamabuki vs. Ginka Middle School.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is no match between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Akutsu Jin, who was just about to take a sip of soda, froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Kamishiro Aki with an expression of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki said again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be that old man Bandai who lied to you again, saying there was a match, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Akutsu Jin suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he downed the soda and crushed the can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression also became terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That damn old man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare he lie to me! I'm going to make him suffer later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, he started walking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped there wouldn't be any casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he felt he should intervene a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the one who reminded Akutsu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Akutsu Jin really went to beat up Bandai Ganya, he wouldn't be able to stay out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said to Akutsu Jin,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really want to play me again, then participate in the Kanto Tournament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't get eliminated, we will face each other again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My position is still Singles 3.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the same time, I hope you learn more tennis techniques.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although your athletic ability is formidable, tennis is not a sport you can win just by speed and power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, without waiting for Akutsu Jin's reply, Kamishiro Aki walked toward the reporting area without looking back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Kamishiro Aki's departing back,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin fell into deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that he seemed to have really started to like tennis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Dan Taichi ran over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akutsu-senpai, so you were here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coach Bandai is looking for you, it seems like something urgent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Akutsu Jin remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That old man Bandai Ganya had lied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to go back and settle the score with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself as he walked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kamishiro Aki, then we'll see each other at the Kanto Tournament!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Dan Taichi hurriedly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Akutsu-senpai, what were you just talking about with Kamishiro Aki?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem very happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Akutsu Jin was very unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared directly at Dan Taichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You brat, don't worry about so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don't follow me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dan Taichi nodded and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay! Akutsu-senpai!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still followed behind Akutsu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutsu Jin just glanced at him and didn't say anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, Kamishiro Aki had already returned to the reporting area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he found that he had actually become the last one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good grief!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can these people teleport?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only went to buy a bottle of iced cola, and they had already arrived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Atobe Keigo teased,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, it seems our ace is going to have to clean the warehouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really something to look forward to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamishiro Aki was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy Atobe Keigo, after getting familiar, was really not polite to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Akutagawa Jiro laughed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kamishiro, it's good that you're here to keep me company!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akutagawa Jiro was actually late?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was entirely possible; with his constitution of not being able to wake up even when sleeping, he could even fall asleep while walking on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Akutagawa Jiro said again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Atobe, he's with us too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki rolled his eyes at Atobe Keigo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain Atobe, so you were late too.
