Chapter 7: Kamishiro Aki vs. Atobe Keigo! (Begging for flowers and evaluation votes!)

It was Atobe Keigo's words that left everyone stunned.

They never expected Atobe Keigo to actually accept Kamishiro Aki's challenge.

But thinking it over, if Atobe Keigo dared not accept a first-year's challenge,

it would sound bad if it got out.

At that moment, Atobe Keigo walked down to the court.

Then he smiled at Kamishiro Aki and said,

"I won't take off my jacket; let's just play a simple game."

"If you can win even one point from me in this game, you win."

That was indeed something Atobe Keigo would say.

But Kamishiro Aki did not accept.

He simply shook his head and said,

"Captain Atobe, please play seriously with me. Moreover, I have come with a purpose."

Atobe Keigo did not take Kamishiro Aki's words to heart.

He smiled and said,

"Since you are challenging, win a game against me first before saying such things."

That was indeed the truth.

Afterwards, a second-year student came to the sideline as the referee and shouted loudly,

"This match is a challenge match."

"The challenger is a first-year..."

Immediately after, he glanced at Kamishiro Aki.

Clearly, he did not know Kamishiro Aki's name.

Kamishiro Aki understood at once; he flicked his racket and said,

"First-year, Kamishiro Aki."

Seeing this, the referee nodded and continued,

"The challenger is the first-year Kamishiro Aki, and he is challenging Captain Atobe!"

"Captain Atobe will serve first!"

Hearing this, Kamishiro Aki quickly prepared himself.

He remembered that Atobe Keigo's serve was not very fierce.

Atobe Keigo's specialty was his return shots.

However, he did have a signature serve technique.

But at this stage, he had not yet learned it.

At that moment, Atobe Keigo smiled and said,

"Kamishiro Aki, is it? Let's see if you can return my serve!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he tossed the tennis ball into the air.

Immediately after, he leaped up suddenly and swung his racket.

Bang!

The tennis ball crossed the net in an instant!

Truly a player who could fight Tezuka Kunimitsu to a standstill.

Even with a normal serve, the speed was incredibly fast!

If it were the Kamishiro Aki from before, he might not have been able to return it.

But now he had acquired the Rokushiki.

His physique had also improved.

His reaction speed was the same!

The instant the tennis ball hit the ground, Kamishiro Aki was already in front of it, waiting.

It was as if he had predicted the ball's landing spot in advance.

He swung his racket and returned the tennis ball.

Bang!

The instant Atobe Keigo landed, the tennis ball had already crossed the net.

By the time he tried to return it, it was too late.

It was a cross-court shot!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The tennis ball bounced slightly and rolled to the edge of the safety net.

Everyone in the arena froze.

"This Kamishiro Aki actually won a point against Captain Atobe!?"

"My god! Am I seeing things!"

"Coincidence! It must be a coincidence!"

Although some questioned it,

the person involved, Atobe Keigo, knew the truth clearly.

Kamishiro Aki's shot just now was very fast!

He had reacted in time, but he had underestimated his opponent.

He failed to catch Kamishiro Aki's ball.

Seeing this, he laughed.

"Hahaha! Kamishiro Aki, it seems you do have some strength after all."

"In that case, I, the great one, will take this match seriously."

"I'll go change into my sports uniform; you can use that time to warm up some more."

Upon hearing these words, everyone gasped in shock once more!

"So that last shot wasn't a coincidence!"

"Captain Atobe is getting serious; Kamishiro Aki is doomed!"

The topic of discussion grew increasingly complex.

Yet Atobe Keigo did not stop them.

While he went to change, Kamishiro Aki sat in his seat and waited.

Though the crowd discussed things on the sidelines, no one came to disturb him.

He also knew others did not believe in his strength.

After all, what could a first-year student possibly achieve?

But what they did not know was that Kamishiro Aki had come with the resolve to defeat Atobe Keigo.

As long as he could defeat Atobe Keigo, he could bring up the matter of the practice fee.
