Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“Your ESP Society… is quite famous in our school.”

Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.

“Probably not for a good reputation, right? But whatever, tell me about your request.”

“Yes, okay.”

Totsuka Saika said softly.

“Actually, the content of my request is to ask you to help me improve my tennis skills. If I don't become stronger in the tennis club now… I'm afraid I won't even be able to get the qualification to participate in the national competition…”

“I see.”

Yui Yuigahama nodded, then looked slightly puzzled.

“But… does our school have a girls' tennis club?”

“Eh?”

Totsuka Saika was stunned.

Yozora and Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yui Yuigahama together, and then said in unison.

“He is a boy.”

“Eh?”

This time it was Yui Yuigahama and Amano Hina's turn to be dumbfounded.

“Ah? A boy?”

Yui Yuigahama and Amano Hina carefully looked at Totsuka Saika in front of them.

Fair and smooth skin, delicate and lovely face, slender limbs, and a girlish blush on his face.

This can be a boy!?

Totsuka Saika smiled embarrassedly and said softly.

“I… am indeed a boy.”

“Okay, this question is not important.”

Yozora stood up directly and said slowly.

“Let's go, play tennis.”

Yui Yuigahama looked puzzled.

“Ah? Just that simple? Can you play tennis?”

“Ho, I'm too good at it.”

Seeing Yozora's confident look, Totsuka Saika couldn't help but curiously ask.

“Yozora-san, can you really play tennis?”

“Of course.”

Yozora said solemnly.

“Have you ever heard of Zero Serve, Flying Swallow Returns to Nest, Wave Ball, Black Hole, Tornado Destroys Parking Lot?”

“Uh…”

Totsuka Saika said cautiously.

“Isn't the last one a bit exaggerated?”

“Not exaggerated, you'll know when you see it, let's go.”

Yozora walked towards the outside of the activity room and said lightly.

“Tennis is not that simple of a sport.”

“Today, we will not only compete, but also fight to the death.”

Twenty minutes later.

“Eh… why do we have to change into sportswear too?”

The sunshine in June was exceptionally hot, making Yui Yuigahama feel a little overwhelmed.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was also wearing sportswear, said calmly.

“Totsuka-san requested our entire club, so we all have to take it seriously.”

“I see…”

Seeing Yui Yuigahama looking hesitant and somewhat dim, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't hide anything and went straight to the point.

“Yui-san, you should have more confidence in your abilities.”

“Simply catering to others is not a way to solve problems.”

Yui Yuigahama was stunned when she heard this, forced a smile, and shook her head.

“I… I'm not catering to others.”

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded noncommittally.

“Since you say so, then forget it.”

Yukino Yukinoshita never pretends.

In contrast to her, Yui Yuigahama is always hiding her true thoughts.

With Yukino's insight, she can naturally detect this.

But…

Just like when she first wanted to form a club, as she said to Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Yukino will only lend a helping hand to those who seek help and want to get out of trouble.

She doesn't know what Yui Yuigahama is struggling with and confused about, but since the other party didn't take the initiative to say it, then forget it.

At this time, Totsuka Saika and Yozora finally arrived at the tennis court.

What Yukino and others didn't expect was that Yozora was still wearing his usual school uniform and didn't change into sportswear.

“Yozora-san.”

Yukino, who had just said that she would take the request seriously, frowned slightly when she saw Yozora's dress and casually waved the tennis racket, as if she was playing around.

“Can you please be serious? Maybe it seems boring to you, but this is very important to the client.”

Yozora casually waved the tennis racket in his hand, causing a burst of air, and replied with a smile.

“I'm already very serious.”

“Hmph.”

Yukino snorted lightly and didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but looked at Totsuka Saika, took out her phone, and handed it over.

“Totsuka-san, this is a special training plan I made for you to improve your physical fitness.”

Totsuka Saika took the phone and glanced at it, then raised his head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita, looking slightly surprised.

“Yuki… Yukinoshita-san, this professional and detailed training plan… did you just come up with it?”

“Yes.”

Yukino had a calm expression on her face, as if this was nothing at all.

“I used to practice Aikido, and I also have some understanding of the theory of sports and competitions.”

After saying this, Yukino couldn't help but turn her gaze to Yozora. Although she wanted to make her tone as calm as possible, she couldn't help but add a bit of provocation when she spoke.

“So, Yozora-san, what kind of help are you going to provide to Totsuka-san?”

From a certain point of view, Yukino is actually very similar to her sister Haruno.

Usually, you may not be able to see it, and you may even feel that the difference in personality between the two is so great that they don't seem like sisters at all.

But when it comes to competitiveness, Yukino and Haruno are surprisingly consistent.

She doesn't seem so competitive, but it actually depends on the person.

Obviously.

Yozora has become a target in Yukino Yukinoshita's heart that she wants to defeat, even more so than her sister Haruno.

“My help?”

Yozora put the tennis racket on his shoulder with one hand, and said with a chuckle.

“What I am going to provide to Totsuka-san is a unique, something only I can do, a huge test of psychology and spirit for a tennis player, which can be called a cruel trial for the soul!”

“What are you talking about…”

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could finish complaining, she saw the light of excitement flashing in Totsuka Saika's eyes, and nodded repeatedly.

“Yozora-san, is there really such a trial? Please teach me!”

Yukino Yukinoshita: “…”

So, the rigorous training plan that she had spent so much effort to come up with was not as good as Yozora's Chuunibyou declaration just now in Totsuka Saika's eyes?

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who has a calm temperament, couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration at this moment.

“Yukinoshita-san, this is what you don't understand.”

Yozora said slowly with a serious look.

“Even professional athletes can only perform up to 40% of their usual training level in a competition.”

“And for high school club members like Totsuka-san who have not undergone professional training, the strength they can exert in the competition may not even reach 20% of their usual level.”

“Do you know why?”

Yukino said that she had studied some things about professional sports competitions before, which was obviously not a lie.

Hearing Yozora's question, she immediately replied.

“It's the psychological factors that are interfering and affecting the athlete's performance, right?”

“That's right, that's exactly it.”

Yozora nodded, then continued.

“But, psychological tension is not only a negative impact sometimes, but it may also allow athletes to perform at a higher level in the competition. We generally call this state the zone.”

Hearing this word, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly and asked suspiciously.

“Zone…? Why have I never heard of it?”

Yozora showed a smile.

“You're right if you haven't heard of it, because I just made it up.”

Yukino Yukinoshita looked speechless.

“Can you please be serious?”

“I'm very serious.”

As Yozora spoke, he walked to the other end of the tennis court.

“Come on, Totsuka-san, accept the most rigorous soul trial of your life!”

Totsuka Saika looked nervous, clenched the tennis racket in his hand, nodded, and said seriously.

“Okay, Yozora-san! I will do my best!”

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly.

Why is the atmosphere inexplicably ignited?

But…

Yukino looked at Yozora standing at the other end of the tennis court, thinking that with the physical fitness he showed at the sports meet, which could break three Soubu High School records, even if he was not proficient in tennis skills, it should not be a problem to defeat Totsuka Saika, who is very slender and weak.

After all, Totsuka Saika is just a high school tennis club member, not a professional athlete.
