Shūji Tanegashima in Prince of Tennis

Chapter 12 : One ball

“Irie, let me tell you about the current situation in the tennis club.”

“In our tennis club, the minister and I have the most rights, the Date boy, and the partner is the second. The remaining three are selected. Akasaka Tanaka and Ike Inoue are a pair of doubles. They are as old as the partner. The rest Gokisuke is a single player, but not very good. You may even beat him now.”

On the side of the road, Shūji talked about electing seven people.

“Will this Gokisuke become my competitor?” Irie was a little puzzled. “But, how do I remember that the tennis match is eight people?”

“You stupid, seven main players, one substitute, what is the substitute? The substitute has no chance to play.”

Shūji glanced at Irie with an idiot look, and then explained.

“Oh.”

Irie nodded, got it.

“That’s it, he is the singles in the team, you are also the main singles, there will be a conflict of interests between the two of you.”

Shūji smiled lightly.

In the struggle for interests, the stronger side has the advantage.

As for Irie’s loss, he doesn’t believe it.

“I see… how is his strength?”

Irie gritted her teeth slightly, seeming to be free.

“Speaking of which you may not believe it, your strength for one night is about the same as him.”

Shūji smiled.

Although Irie is acting as a beginner, his eyesight and nerve response cannot be concealed. Based on these two points, plus his physique, it is not a problem to beat Gokisuke.

Maybe physique is enough.

The two said and entered the school.

“It’s Senior Shūji.”

“How handsome.”

As soon as Shūji entered the school, a girl nearby greeted him, and Shūji responded with a chuckle.

“Classmate Xiu, you are really welcome.”

Approaching the tennis club, Irie exclaimed when seeing no one nearby.

“You too, there were many girls who greeted you just now.”

“It’s still not as good as you.”

“Don’t say that, I just play tennis well and look a little more handsome…”

Hearing that, there were several black lines on Irie’s forehead, but they couldn’t refute it.

Shūji is indeed long.

“Here, isn’t the ghost gone?”

Shūji saw all the people in the ministry, but the ghost was absent.

The ghost is a member of the study committee, and sometimes it is normal to practice early without coming in the first time.

Shūji took Irie into the tennis club and clapped his hands, “Assemble!”

“Deputy Minister!”

Seeing him coming, the third graders put down their practice and came to Shūji.

One group for the first grade and one group for the second and third grades.

Everyone respectfully looked at the angular Tanegashima Shūji and the slightly restrained Irie behind them, faintly guessing what.

The deputy minister is serious, mostly because of this person.

“Everyone, I want to announce one thing!”

Seeing everyone calm down, Shūji said in a deep voice, “Behind me is Irie Kanata. He is good. Starting today, I will be the eighth place.”

What?

Everyone’s eyes shrank, and there was an indescribable shock between their eyebrows.

Relations?

Everyone frowned when they saw Irie’s face.

This person doesn’t look like a master at all.

Therefore, only related parties can explain.

“No comments?”

Shūji smiled and groaned.

“I have an opinion.”

Chosen Wuguisuke raised his hand, his thin eyebrows were narrow, and he said coldly: “Vice Minister, with all due respect, are you not so good?”

In the past, he was the number two person in the ministry, but since Shūji came, all this has changed.

But still acceptable.

After all, it is still a regular election, and there is still a chance to play. But if Irie is selected and Shūji favors the opponent, doesn’t he even have the chance to play?

A tennis club is selected by eight, but the last one is usually a substitute.

This is about self-interest, and Gokisuke couldn’t hold back his breath.

“Oh? You said.”

Shūji smiled knowingly.

Five Ghosts frowned and said coldly: “match, as long as he can beat me, I agree with him as the main election.”

The eyes of everyone flashed with surprise.

“Can.”

Tanegashima Shūji put his hand in his pocket and nodded in response. He turned his head and encouraged Irie: “Irie, don’t lose.”

“…Um.”

Irie’s face was slightly unnatural, giving people the feeling of riding a tiger.

Everyone shook their heads.

Shūji smiled. After he came, he changed the rules of the ministry. For example… the first grade can only pick up the ball and change it to be able to go to the top, but Okayama Oku is not very strong, so the election is still the same.

That’s why… these people are just surprised by Irie’s coming.

“Five Ghosts!”

Tanegashima Shūji looked at the tall and thin back of the other person, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

After months of observation, the opponent has a strong sense of competition. This is a good thing, but if the strength is not enough, the heart… it’s not bad.

Compared to the original Seigaku, the first grade Tezuka faced in the upper grades, their school was much gentler.

Thoughts flew, and the match on court had already begun.

Date boy and Banli also walked to Tanegashima Shūji.

The man was surprised: “Shūji, can that Irie do it?”

“Can.”

Tanegashima Shūji nodded, and the other party played it again, it was impossible that even Gokisuke could not defeat it.

“But Deputy Minister, I see him nervously and his steps are slightly disordered. Is it really okay?”

Ban Li is also a beautiful way.

Worried about Irie, and even more worried about Shūji being beaten in the face.

After all, the person he was sure of couldn’t even defeat Gokisuke, and he would only be embarrassed.

However, Tanegashima Shūji smiled deeply, leaving the two of them confused and decided to watch.

“One ball!”

Five Ghosts said coldly.

Irie nodded, the restraint on his face was a lot less than before, but it was faint.

“Humph!”

Gokisuke snorted in his heart, how can such a person be the official election of Okayama? How strong can it be?

“Serve for you.”

With a thought, Gokisuke is no longer interested in the other party, and is extremely disappointed in Tanegashima Shūji.

Unexpectedly, this usually very skinny deputy minister also got involved in such things as related households. *
