Chapter 98: It

Kamishiro Aki glanced at the score ahead.

The first match, Doubles 2, was Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru vs. Marui Bunta and Jackal Kuwahara!

The score was 5:7, Rikkai won!

To think they actually dared to arrange Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaido Kaoru as a doubles pair.

Ryuzaki Sumire is truly impulsive; it doesn't look like a coach's arrangement at all.

The second match, Doubles 1, featured Seigaku’s Golden Pair.

Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro.

Kamishiro Aki had thought they might win, but that wasn't the case.

Looking at the score, 5:7!

Then, looking at the opponents, Kamishiro Aki understood.

Rikkai’s Doubles 1 were Yagyu Hiroshi and Nio Masaharu!

Yagyu has the Laser Beam, and Nio can mimic and see through the opponent's habits.

So, it really is quite difficult for Kikumaru Eiji and Oishi Shuichiro to win.

With this, Rikkai got off to a good start at 2:0.

The upcoming Singles 3 is Inui Sadaharu vs. Yanagi Renji!

Both of these guys play data tennis.

They were evenly matched, pushing the score to a tie-break.

In the end, Inui Sadaharu narrowly defeated Yanagi Renji, score 7:6!

After that was the Singles 2 match.

Which is the current one.

Sanada Genichiro vs. Fuji Shusuke.

Kamishiro Aki really hadn't expected this matchup.

If he remembered correctly, according to the anime timeline.

This match should have been Fuji Shusuke vs. Kirihara Akaya.

After thinking for a moment, Kamishiro Aki reached a conclusion.

It must be the butterfly effect caused by his own arrival.

This game is crucial.

If Fuji Shusuke loses, Seigaku will miss out on the champion and runner-up spots of the Kanto Tournament.

Although the top four of the Kanto Tournament all qualify for the National Tournament.

But everyone wants to enter the National Tournament in the best possible position!

Just as Kamishiro Aki was thinking, Atobe Keigo suddenly asked from the side.

"Captain Kamishiro, who do you think will win between the two of them?"

As soon as this question was asked, everyone's gaze turned toward him.

It seems everyone has already come to regard Kamishiro Aki as a true captain.

It wasn't just the Hyotei people who were curious.

Even Seigaku and Rikkai were looking forward to what kind of answer Kamishiro Aki would give.

Atobe Keigo’s voice had actually been quite loud.

Almost the entire venue heard it.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Kamishiro Aki really thought about it seriously.

Whether in the anime or the manga.

Fuji Shusuke and Sanada Genichiro had never faced each other.

Their strength should be about fifty-fifty.

But in the National Tournament, Sanada Genichiro defeated Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Although it was a new technique specifically developed to counter Tezuka Kunimitsu.

It was still a display of strength.

Looking at it from this point, Sanada Genichiro has a slightly higher chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Kamishiro Aki made a bold guess.

He looked at the two on the court and smiled.

"I think both sides are evenly matched, and the situation will go to a tie-break."

"The winner should be Rikkai's Sanada."

After he said this calmly, the Seigaku people were not happy.

Especially Kikumaru Eiji.

He shouted directly.

"How could Fuji possibly lose!"

Kamishiro Aki ignored his roar.

Seeing this, Atobe Keigo smiled.

"Captain Kamishiro, I think Fuji will win."

Kamishiro Aki squinted at Atobe Keigo.

What is this guy trying to pull?

Before he could ask, Atobe Keigo touched his cheek and said.

"Captain Kamishiro, let's make a bet."

A bet!?

Everyone became interested upon hearing this.

To be honest, Kamishiro Aki was also interested.

After all, it adds some stakes.

Just as he wanted to ask what to bet on.

A system notification sounded in Kamishiro Aki's mind!

"Ding! Atobe Keigo has initiated a betting game on the outcome!"

"If you win the bet, you gain three points; if you lose, you lose three points!"

"Host, do you accept this bet?"

Good grief!

Is this a temporary system point mission?

And this time, he could actually gain three points!

But the cost is also quite high; if he loses, he loses three points.

After a moment of hesitation, Kamishiro Aki decided to take the gamble!

If he lost the bet, he would accept it!

Thinking of this, he said to Atobe Keigo.

"Then you're going to lose."

Hearing this, Atobe Keigo laughed.

At the same time, the system notification sounded.

"Host, you have accepted the bet. Good luck!"

At this moment, Atobe Keigo smiled.

"As expected of Captain Kamishiro!"

"If I win, you have to clean the warehouse for a month."

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened!

That’s ruthless!

If three people clean together, it takes an hour even without slacking off.

If one person cleans it, wouldn't that take three hours!?

Ruthless enough!

Seeing this, Kamishiro Aki didn't hold back either.

He revealed a sinister smile and said to Atobe Keigo.

"Fine, but if you, Senior Atobe, lose, you have to drink a cup of vegetable juice specially made by Seigaku’s nutritionist, Inui Sadaharu."

After speaking, he glanced in Inui Sadaharu’s direction.

Kamishiro Aki’s voice was loud, and everyone in the venue heard it.

The Seigaku people were instantly interested.

Especially Inui Sadaharu, who hurriedly walked over with his 'Inui' brand vegetable juice.

He smiled at Kamishiro Aki.

"Kamishiro Aki, you have great taste, actually choosing my special vegetable juice."

"Since it’s the new King of Hyotei, I will respectfully prepare a special vegetable juice for you!"

Everyone from Seigaku was incredibly expectant!

Because they had all drunk Inui Juice, and that taste is unforgettable for a lifetime!

Therefore, they especially hoped Atobe Keigo would experience it too.

The intensity was so terrifying that it wouldn't even matter if Fuji Shusuke lost!

At this moment, the Seigaku crowd looked at Atobe Keigo like hungry wolves looking at a fat sheep.

This made Atobe Keigo feel creeped out, and also a bit bewildered.

Seeing this, he said dismissively.

"It’s just vegetable juice, what’s there to be afraid of? It’s not like I’ve never had vegetable juice before."

When he said this, Kamishiro Aki wanted to laugh.

He was already looking forward to Atobe Keigo’s expression when drinking the Inui Juice.

At this time, the referee was already prepared.

He shouted to the entire venue!

"The Singles 2 match between Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School and Seishun Academy officially begins!"

"Seigaku’s Fuji Shusuke to serve first!"

It was Fuji Shusuke’s serve.

No need to think, Fuji Shusuke would definitely hit a low-altitude serve.

Also known as the Vanishing Serve.

Let’s see how Sanada Genichiro handles it.

Fuji Shusuke, having received the tennis ball, wasn't in a hurry to serve.

He squinted and said to Sanada Genichiro.

"Sanada, how about I just concede?"

"I really want to see Atobe drink the special vegetable juice."

Hearing this, the whole venue was stunned!

Including Kamishiro Aki!

Is he really that casual?

However, everyone knew this was a joke.

But Sanada Genichiro didn't catch it.

He said seriously.

"Fuji, are you trying to run away?"
