Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

The difference in skill between the two is probably hard to make up for the huge disadvantage in physical fitness.

Besides…

Based on the time they've spent together, Yukino seriously doubts.

Is the 'slight understanding' that Hoshino says the same as the 'slight understanding' that she understands?

"Are you ready? Totsuka-kun."

Hoshino took a tennis ball from the basket beside the court, patted it twice on the ground with his left hand, his movements appearing extremely skilled.

"I'm ready, Hoshino-kun…"

Before Totsuka Saika could finish speaking, the frivolous smile on Hoshino's face suddenly disappeared.

Replaced by a cold, merciless look.

"Totsuka-kun, when I say ready, I mean are you prepared to bet your life on this match?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Haruna Amano were all stunned when they heard Hoshino say these words so seriously.

Isn't this…

Just playing tennis, is it really necessary!?

Betting your life, what the heck!?

Are you hitting tennis balls or cannonballs!?

Yukinoshita Yukino thought Hoshino was going crazy.

Haruna Amano and Yui Yuigahama, however, had witnessed him fighting evil spirits.

If Hoshino really used his full strength, the speed of the ball he hits…

It probably wouldn't be much different from a cannonball!?

Just then, several people wearing the same school uniform suddenly walked into the court.

"Hey, can we play here too?"

Hearing this familiar line, Hoshino stopped patting the tennis ball and held it in his left hand.

Yukino and the others turned around and saw that the leader of the group was a handsome, sunny-looking boy and a beautiful girl with light golden, fluffy, wavy hair, giving off an air of arrogance.

Totsuka Saika pursed her lips, her voice a little timid and cautious, and said softly.

"That… um… I applied for this court…"

"Eh?"

The girl with light golden, fluffy, wavy hair slowly walked over, her tone sounding a bit sarcastic.

"Since the door is open, then we can play too, or are you saying that only you can play, and we can't?"

"Yumiko, don't say that."

The handsome boy stepped forward, maintaining a proper smile.

"It's more fun when everyone plays together, isn't it?"

Just as Totsuka Saika was about to say something, Hoshino's lazy voice came.

"You guys…"

He directly climbed over the net in the middle and slowly walked up to the boy, smiling as he spoke.

"Where did these small fries come from? Get lost quickly."

Yui Yuigahama, Haruna Amano, and Totsuka Saika were dumbfounded.

Wait, have you always been this aggressive when you talk?

Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't surprised at all.

She could have predicted that Hoshino would react this way.

After all, he's someone who can even talk back to her.

"This…"

Faced with Hoshino's aggressive words, the boy's face visibly stiffened for a moment, and he said awkwardly.

"My name is Hayama Hayato, Hoshino-kun, you may not know me, I am…"

"You are what?"

Before Hayama Hayato could finish speaking, Hoshino interrupted with a smile.

"Are you the top of the grade? Oh, no, that's me."

"Are you the record holder for three events at the school sports meet? Oh, no, that's me too."

"Are you the one who applied to the school today to use this court? Oh, no, that's Totsuka-kun."

These three self-answered questions directly left Hayama Hayato speechless.

Looking at the other party's stiff expression, Hoshino casually waved his hand, as if shooing away a mouse.

"Scram, scram, scram, get out of here quickly."

Seeing Hayama Hayato being shut down to the point of being unable to say a word, Miura Yumiko stepped forward.

She first glanced at Hoshino with a slightly complicated expression, then snorted softly.

"Could it be that Hoshino-kun means that you're so good at everything, so you can openly enjoy special privileges?"

Faced with Miura Yumiko's hidden sarcasm, Hoshino's answer was very straightforward.

"Otherwise what?"

"Ah?"

Looking at Miura Yumiko and Hayama Hayato's unexpected expressions, as well as those friends following them, Hoshino revealed a look as if he were looking at fools, with even a hint of pity in his eyes.

"People who are more outstanding than ordinary people should naturally enjoy more outstanding treatment."

"Do you think that regardless of talent and individual differences, everyone can get completely equal treatment?"

"Wake up, do you think you're playing house?"

At this moment, Hayama Hayato and Miura Yumiko finally understood.

What is called dimensional reduction strike.

This is a dimensional reduction strike.

One is the ace of the soccer club, with a handsome appearance.

The other is the core leader of the girls in the class, a beautiful girl with an outstanding appearance.

These two can be said to be the unquestionable 'in-crowd' of Soubu High School.

But…

The top of the grade, a sports genius who broke three school records in his first time participating in the sports meet.

The biggest underworld force in Soubu High, the president of an oversized club who openly occupies the best location and largest activity room.

Someone who slaps others in the corridor at the slightest disagreement, who is said to often molest the homeroom teacher in the office, who has no moral bottom line, and whose style of doing things is unpredictable, Hoshino.

In front of him, the 'in-crowd' was easily shattered.

Miura Yumiko's eyes were filled with inexplicable hostility towards Hoshino, which made him feel a little puzzled.

They're not even in the same class.

Besides, Miura Yumiko isn't a boy, so there can't be a cliché where she likes a girl, who happens to like him.

This hatred is inexplicable.

Noticing Miura Yumiko's gaze, Yui Yuigahama moved closer to Hoshino and lowered her voice.

"Um… Miura-san, wrote you a letter, saying she wanted to get to know you…"

"Oh, is that so."

Hoshino first nodded noncommittally, then looked at Yui Yuigahama, smiling but not quite smiling.

"How do you know what she wrote in the letter?"

"Ah… I…"

Yui Yuigahama was stunned for a moment, stammering and unable to speak.

Actually, every time she received letters from those girls and handed them to Hoshino, she would secretly open them and take a peek at the contents.

"I… I… I looked at them for Futaba and Miko!"

Looking at Yui Yuigahama, who was flustered and blushing, Hoshino nodded, giving a fair evaluation.

"You're still good at shifting the blame."

Seeing Hoshino talking to Yui Yuigahama on his own, completely ignoring her, Miura Yumiko's last bit of self-esteem was also shattered.

She picked up a tennis racket from the side and said angrily.

"Then let's have a match, whoever wins has the right to use this court!"

"Is your brain broken?"

Hoshino glanced at Miura Yumiko and shook his head.

"Didn't I explain it to you very clearly? No matter which angle you look at it from, the right to use this court should be ours, what are you betting with? Trying to get something for nothing? Are you kidding me? Go see a psychiatrist."

Miura Yumiko was speechless.

At this time, Hoshino glanced at Totsuka Saika, who was at a loss beside him, then looked at Hayama Hayato and Miura Yumiko, revealing a meaningful smile.

"However, I'll make an exception today and be merciful, rewarding you with a chance to challenge me."

After saying this, Hoshino walked to the other end of the tennis court.

"Let's start, Totsuka-kun, you be the referee, and you can learn something in passing."

"Um, um, okay, Hoshino-kun."

Seeing Hoshino suddenly agree to the match again, Miura Yumiko didn't understand why, but she couldn't help but show a smile.

In middle school, she was selected to participate in the prefectural tournament.

In the sport of tennis, Miura Yumiko doesn't think she will lose to anyone.

"Hey, you over there."

Hoshino stood at the other end of the court, pointing at Hayama Hayato with the tennis racket in his hand.

"You join in too."

"Eh?"

Hayama Hayato frowned slightly.

"Hoshino-kun, do you want to play against the two of us alone? Isn't that a bit too…"

"Who said I'm alone?"

Hoshino looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Haruna Amano on the sidelines, and finally his gaze stopped on Yui Yuigahama.

"Yui, come on."

Yui Yuigahama looked surprised, hesitating.

"Eh? Me?"

"Of course."

Hoshino looked at Yui Yuigahama and smiled.

"I need you."

These simple four words made Yui Yuigahama's mind go blank, as if she had been hit by a genjutsu, and by the time she reacted, she was already standing next to Hoshino with a tennis racket in her hand.

"OK, let's start then."

Miura Yumiko sized up Yui Yuigahama's grip on the racket and her stance, and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.

Obviously, the other party is an amateur.
