On the spacious tennis court, a group of teenagers in gray and white sportswear are training enthusiastically.

At the front of the team, a tall purple-gray boy stood with his hands on his hips, staring at the players in training with sharp eyes and constantly correcting their wrong swinging postures.

At this time, a boy with glasses and a slightly darker blue complexion walked into the stadium holding a newspaper and walked up to Keigo Atobe.

"Hey, Minister, have you read the latest issue of Tennis Monthly?" A deep Kansai accent sounded.

Atobe Keigo's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm, "Why is it a famous magazine? I don't have time to care about those gossips."

Oshitari Yuushi held his forehead, accustomed to his minister's arrogance. He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, saying, "He is quite famous in the tennis world, but you should be very interested in the above report."

Yuushi Oshitari pointed out a paragraph in the report as if he was enjoying a good show: "This reporter said that compared to Hyotei where all the seniors resigned, Rikkai University, which smoothly handed over power, did not lose its reputation as the overlord of Kanto. It defended its leading position in the regional qualifiers with an absolute victory."

After hearing what Oshitari Yuushi said, Atobe Keigo's demeanor suddenly changed, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

"I didn't know that Rikkai University had the audacity to use Hyotei as their stepping stone!"

Having known about this magazine beforehand, Yuushi Oshizuka smiled playfully, his eyes behind the lenses slightly darkened as he explained:

"Rikkai University is our long-term practice match opponent. They would not bother to do such a thing. I guess that reporter's subjective conjecture is just that."

Upon hearing this, Keigo Atobe sneered, "Tennis Monthly?" He would remember this newspaper.

Yuushi Oshitari pushed his glasses up, gave a fake smile and asked Keigo Atobe, "So, are you ready for the practice match this weekend?"

Atobe Keigo looked at the fake-smiling Oshitari with disdain and said speechlessly: "Of course, I have already arranged it, you better not let me down when the time comes!"

Oshitari Yuushi smiled playfully and said, "The overlord of Kanto? Let him see his strength."

Jiro Akutagawa and Taketo Mukai, who learned from Keigo Atobe that they would be playing against Rikkai University at the weekend, excitedly made an appointment with Bunta Marui to eat cake together after the game.

"So, when did Benta hook up with Hyotei's little sheep?"

Niou Masaharu looked at the three little animals hugging each other affectionately with confusion. How come he remembered that Benta had not met Akutagawa Jiro at that time?

"It was probably when he went to Tokyo to sign the contract, and Bunta helped Akutagawa-kun and Mukai-kun solve a problem, and the three of them got to know each other."

Genichirō Sanada glanced at Niou Masaharu and spoke calmly.

Niou Masaharu looked at the slightly boastful Sanada Genichirō speechlessly. Even if you are close to Xiaozhu, you are still just a teammate. What are you proud of?

Two groups of people stood at the golden gate of Ice Emperor, watching the three people embrace each other passionately.

Rikkai University was not surprised by Marui Bunta's ability to make friends, as the lively and cheerful red-haired piglet was unlikely to cause dislike among others.

However, before Keigo Atobe could open his mouth to threaten the Kaidai, the atmosphere was ruined by two little animals in the team.

"Oshitari, go and bring those two guys back to me!" Atobe Keigo said gritting his teeth, covering his forehead.

This guy Jiro Akutagawa once said that the minister was the best person in the world, but now when he sees his good friend, he sticks to him and forgets about him.

Don't take anything this guy says seriously!

Perhaps it was because he was always alone in the UK, and after returning to his country, it was rare to find someone who was not afraid of his temper and kept sticking to him, so Atobe Keigo was particularly tolerant of Akutagawa Jiro.

Seeing his little animal opening its soft belly to others, Keigo Atobe couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Marui Fumita, who was sensitive to mental power, accurately captured Keigo Atobe's emotional fluctuations. He did not expect that this young master had started to have different thoughts about his fans so early.

He looked at Akutagawa Jiro, who was struggling hard after being grabbed by the collar by Ozuki Yuushi, and couldn't help but mourn for a second for the young master's bumpy love life.

This guy Jiro, if Master Atobe doesn't play it straight, he will never be able to understand what the eldest master is thinking.

001 reminds the host who is watching the show to remember to complete today's task.

"Host, don't forget that you have to win all the games in this practice match."

"But I don't know if I can play. We've been drawing lots lately."

After knowing that the system reward this time was another stamina bottle, Marui Bunta didn't want to play the game anymore.

The system’s recent rewards are not very good, and there are really not many benefits for a nascent system.

After hearing Marui Bunta's thoughts, 001 added guiltily: "As long as the final result is a total victory, that's fine."

It only then realized that due to complaints from its former host, many of its benefits had been cancelled, resulting in no rewards for the host now.

Sooner or later, it will teach that ungrateful villain a lesson!

"I'm sorry for the delay. Please allow me to lead everyone from Rikkai University to the tennis club."

Yuushi Oshitari, who had always served as the second-in-command of Hyotei, looked at the silent Atobe Keigo and had no choice but to bring the people from Rikkai University to the stadium first.

Yukimura Seiichi nodded in agreement. He also wanted to finish this practice match quickly and return to Rikkai University for training.

Although it was a practice match, the generous Mr. Atobe still prepared a separate lounge for Rikkai University.

In the lounge, Yanagi pulls out a notebook to share information about Hyotei.

"According to the investigation, most of Hyotei's regular players are first-year players, including the captain Atobe Keigo, Oshitari Yuushi, Mukai Taketo, Akutagawa Jiro, Shishido Ryo, and Taki Oginosuke. All of them are first-year players."

"Kurosawa Yōta is a sophomore. As soon as Atobe Keigo entered Hyotei, he challenged the tennis club. After winning the match, he kicked out all the third-year players who didn't obey his discipline. Now he has the final say in the tennis club."

"Oh, then this Atobe-kun is quite courageous. These borers should be removed."

Sho Nozawa leaned on Miyazaki Taichi's shoulder, smiling in a casual and unrestrained manner. He had long been fed up with the group of young masters in Hyotei.

Although Atobe Keigo is also very arrogant, he has good manners and will not do anything to embarrass others unless they provoke him.

Unlike those trash who looked down on others in the past.

"So, they are all first-year captains, who is more powerful?" Maori was a little curious about this. In the club, Yukimura Seiichi was the most difficult person to deal with.

Before the regional trials, Rikkai University held the second regular trials, and Mori Jusaburo and Yukimura Seiichi were placed in the same group.

Then he experienced the legendary yips, and from then on he took his training more seriously.

He didn't want to be caught by the minister and forced to compete.

"Since Mori-senpai is so curious, then arrange for me and Atobe-kun to be together."

Seiichi Yukimura is very fond of the members of the tennis club, and he will definitely satisfy this small request.

"Hehe, thank you, Minister!" Maori Jusaburo touched his cheek. Why did he feel so happy even though he was spoiled by his junior? Obviously, I am the senior!

"Then let's draw lots to decide the rest. This will be a good opportunity to check if everyone's doubles skills have improved."

Yukimura Seiichi, who likes to beat around the bush and increase training, took this opportunity to reorganize several seniors who had relaxed their training due to the regional qualifiers.

Marui Bunta saw through Yukimura's thoughts and cooperated with Nioh to use some tricks to put Ida Jōji and Nozawa Sho, who had been lax in training recently, into the same group.

Hideo Sakurai, whose strength has not improved much, was assigned to a group with Taichi Miyazaki.

These two seniors are training seriously, but their strength has increased too slowly recently. I guess they have reached a bottleneck.

It's a good opportunity to use Hyotei's first-year students to stimulate them and see if they can help them overcome their difficulties.

Rikkai University arranged this practice match with ease, but the atmosphere at Hyotei was very tense.

After collecting information on Rikkai University members in advance and learning from Jiro Akutagawa and Takehime Mukai that Marui Bunta's teammates were quite strong, Keigo Atobe had a premonition that Hyotei had a low chance of winning this practice match.

But retreating without a fight was not his style, he could only let Hyotei benefit as much as possible from this practice match.

For example, he wanted to find out the strength and personnel arrangement of Rikkai University, but Mr. Atobe never thought of that. People in Rikkai University don't like to play by the rules.

So when he saw the list of contestants, Atobe Keigo felt a surge of anger for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

"So this is how you treat this competition, huh? Are you teasing me?" Atobe Keigo's tone was cold, and his sea-blue pupils had no warmth at all.

"Why, Atobe-kun doesn't have the confidence to beat me, or does Atobe-kun not believe that his teammates have the strength of the national level?"

Yukimura Seiichi is very familiar with the concept of trash talking before the game. There is no member of Rikkai University who doesn't talk trash before the game.

The members of Rikkai University also stood behind Yukimura Seiichi to cheer him on, and Genichirō Sanada even released cold air to threaten Hyotei's men.

"Don't be angry, Atobe. Bunta and the others' matches have always been decided by drawing lots." Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two teams, Akutagawa Jiro stepped over to Atobe, took his hand and said coquettishly.

Atobe Keigo was like a punctured balloon, deflated instantly, and his expression was no longer stern.

Forget it, since it is a routine operation of Rikkai University, he won't bother with them.
