On Friday, Shuji Tanejima watched the weather forecast on TV and confirmed that it would be a sunny day. He was so excited that everyone in the training camp complained about him.

"Shuji Tanejima, is there something wrong with you? Don't drink my drink. Can't you go buy it yourself?" Toono Atsuki looked at Shuji Tanejima with an irritable look on his face as he rode his car along the road and took away his sports drink.

This guy has already stolen his drink for the third time tonight. As the saying goes, three times is the limit, Tono Atsuki turned around and asked Kimijima Ikuto across from him, "What is this guy so excited about?"

As a negotiation expert in the training camp, Kimijima Ikuto was well aware of the news in the training camp. He stretched out his fingers to adjust his glasses and replied calmly: "I guess he is going out on a date!"

"Date!... Can this guy with a bad temper actually find a girlfriend?" Toono Atsukyo shouted in surprise.

Toono Atsukyo, who had no doubt about Kimijima Ikuto's words, had no idea that Kimijima was lying.

Byodoin Phoenix, who was playing in the nearby stadium, showed no expression when he heard this. He was not familiar with that guy Tanejima.

Soon the news that Shuji Tanejima had a girlfriend spread throughout the entire training camp. Everyone was shocked by this. After all, everyone in the training camp knew about Shuji Tanejima's bad character.

Shuji Tanejima, whose reputation was damaged, didn't care about the discussions about him in the training camp. After taking a shower, he started calling Masaharu Niou.

The phone was picked up by the person on the other end after it rang once, which meant that the person on the other end of the phone was also waiting for his call, which made the curve of Shuji Tanejima's mouth deepen more than a little.

"What is Nioh doing?" Shuji Tanejima spoke first.

"I just took a shower and am reviewing my lessons." Niou Masaharu spoke incoherently as he drank the Chinese medicine that Marui Bunta had given him.

"Little Niou didn't even think of calling me on his own initiative. Don't you miss me?" Tanejima Shuji shamelessly acted coquettishly towards Niou Masaharu.

"Puri, I don't want to delay your training since you're in the training camp." Niou did not directly express his longing for Shuji Taneshima. He still missed Shuji Taneshima very much after seeing Marui and Sanada showing their affection in front of him every day. Saying it directly did not fit in with his awkward personality.

Shuji Tanejima, who knew Masaharu Niou's character, heard what Masaharu Niou did not say. He chuckled, and the slightly magnetic voice entered Masaharu Niou's ears and made the tips of his ears begin to turn red.

The two talked on the phone for nearly half an hour before Shuji Tanejima hung up the phone reluctantly. He would be able to see Xiao Niou tomorrow, so it would be okay to make fewer calls tonight.

With a happy mood, early the next morning, Shujima Tanejima knocked on the doors of Onijūjiro and Irie Kanata.

"Knock, knock, knock." The door opened after the third knock. Kijujiro, in his pajamas, looked at Tanejima Shuji, who was wearing a white sportswear. "It's only six o'clock now."

The ghost tried his best to control his temper. No one would be in a good mood if they were woken up so early in the morning.

Tanejima Shuji ignored Oni's dark face and urged him excitedly, "Hurry up, it will be half past eight when we get to Rikkai University!"

Gui took a deep breath and told himself that he must not provoke Zhongdao. This guy was too difficult to deal with. If he provokes him, he would not be able to train in peace for at least the next month.

After closing the door, he woke up Irie Kanata, and the two of them quickly washed up and left the training camp with Tanejima Shuji.

The regular players of the tennis club, who heard from Marui Bunta that a senior would come to coach the game today, arrived before eight o'clock.

Yukimura Seiichi thought that there was still an hour left, and since there was no point in waiting, he might as well start leading everyone in basic training.

"Next, two people will form a group to complete 100 fixed-point shots and 100 left and right movements of the balls. Bunta and I will demonstrate it to you first." Yukimura Seiichi signaled Marui Bunta to demonstrate it to everyone.

The seniors who originally thought batting practice was boring exclaimed when they saw the two's textbook batting postures.

The batting training arranged by Marui Bunta includes 20 forehand and backhand balls, four groups of 20 diagonal balls, one forehand and one backhand side ball, and five groups of 20 long balls.

These two trainings are mainly to enhance the awareness of returning to the position and practice footwork. After a whole set of training, only Sanada and Niou can achieve the agile and graceful footwork like Yukimura and Marui.

"Senior Ida, it will be more comfortable if you raise your right hand 10 degrees to receive the ball." Ida Jōji corrected his batting posture according to Yukimura Seiichi's instructions and found that his hand finally felt no awkwardness when he received the ball.

It turns out that it is useful. Looking at the talented junior students, Iida Jōji realized the gap between people.

"Originally, this training was done with a ball serving machine, but the tennis club hasn't purchased one yet. Once we win the Kanto Championship, everyone in the tennis club will do 1000-ball training on Monday."

Yukimura Seiichi ignored the pale faces of his seniors and continued speaking.

The problem with not having a coach is that there is no one to teach the members the correct playing posture. These seniors all have more or less irregular playing habits in their playing postures. It won't be noticeable in a short period of time, but over time it will affect the body and cause muscle fatigue.

When Shuji Tanejima arrived at the tennis club, everyone was still training hard and sweating.

"What do you think? My junior classmates are pretty good, aren't they?" Shujima said proudly to Onijūjiro and Irie Kanata while pointing at the crowd that was concentrating on their studies.

After observing for a while, the two found that the junior students of Zhongdao were conducting basic batting training, and their postures were pretty good.

"Not bad. It seems that you have a solid grasp of the basics." Irie Kanata was a good-tempered man. Knowing that Tanejima Shuji was showing off, he immediately praised him.

Onijushirou was speechless. He could only see that he had a good foundation. What was Zhongdao so proud of?

"Little Niou, long time no see!" Shuji Tanejima took Niou, who had already finished his training, into his arms and placed his head on Niou Masaharu's head.

"Piyo, I'm hot, go away from me!" Niou Masaharu shook his shoulders and tried to get Shuji Tanejima off him.

"No, little Niou didn't even say he missed me." Tanejima Shuji leaned on Niou Masaharu, holding Niou Masaharu tightly with his hands.

Marui Bunta looked at Niou Masaharu jokingly, "Hey, Tanejima-senpai is here to visit you!"

How dare you criticize me? Put down the cup of Sanada's water in your hand first! Niou Masaharu stared at the black cup in Marui Bunta's hand with the same mockery.

Marui Bunta, who didn't want to die together with Niou Masaharu, stopped teasing Niou. He looked at Onijūjiro and Irie Kanata who were watching Taneshima Shuji with magical animals. He didn't expect that Taneshima-senpai would actually find a sparring partner for them.

"Hey, let's draw lots. The first four are Oni's opponents, the middle five are mine, and the last four are Kanada's."

Shuji Tanejima was the first to put his hand into the lottery box. He had gotten used to the idea of ​​tricking his friends. Look, Jujiro Oni and Kanata Irie didn't react at all?

The good-tempered Irie Kanata said that since he had seen the gossip about Tanedashima Shuji, he would not care about Tanedashima using them as tools.

Shuji Tanejima drew Seiichi Yukimura, Jōji Iida, Jackal Kuwahara, Hideo Sakurai, and Hisaburo Mori.

Onijujiro drew Marui Bunta, Nozawa Sho, Hasegawa Kaede, and Yanagi Renji.

Irie played many draws, including Genichiro Sanada, Taichi Miyazaki, Masaharu Nio, and Masaharu Fukuyama.

Shujima Teshima and Kanata Irie were very satisfied with the draw. Jujiro Oni had a blank expression on his face and his thoughts were unknown. It was just a game, and he didn't have much expectations for these junior high school boys.
