"Xingyan, look, you're famous!"

During Hyotei's morning office hours, Yue Ren came running over with a bunch of magazines and opened them one by one for Xing Yan to read.

These are all sports magazines, so naturally there are sports advertisements.

Among these, some advertisements are extremely conspicuous.

A sporty boy, sunny and handsome, gentle and cute, arrogant and persistent...

In short, today's editions of sports magazines are all filled with different advertisements from several companies.

Moreover, the main spokesperson for the advertisements is the same.

"Not bad, now he is not just our Hyotei's Xingyan, but has become a national sports idol star."

Oshitari picked up an advertisement and took a look at it, and suddenly a look of gloating appeared in his eyes.

Becoming an idol star with such endorsements is completely different from being followed by only a few tennis fans before.

...

...

It is very likely that you will be asked for autographs when walking on the street, or even beauties of all ages may try to scam you.

As for the possible dangers...

Generally speaking, it would be good enough if Xingyan doesn't create danger to others.

Although this child looks cute and handsome, he is actually extremely dangerous.

"Don't run around alone anymore..."

After completing basic training, Atobe walked back, glanced at the magazine, and then looked at Xingyan who was completely unaware of the trouble, reminding him that it was time to start paying attention.

I thought it was just a simple commercial endorsement, but I never thought it would be hyped up to such a high level.

As expected, I had underestimated Advisor Sakaki's plan. Are these bigwigs behind the scenes really planning to let Star Flame soar into the sky like a rocket?

"Yeah, don't run around."

Xing Yan nodded obediently. He didn't usually run around. Even when he went to Echizen's house, he was picked up by the driver. He never went out for a stroll by himself.

"Minister, someone is here to see Xingyan, from Rikkai University..."

A member of the tennis club ran over, his eyes lit up when he saw Atobe, and he quickly reported the situation.

People from Rikkai University appeared in Hyotei, and they came for Xingyan. This is no small matter.

"What's the situation at Rikkai University, Xingyan, are you familiar with them?"

Oshitari looked at Xingyan, then turned his gaze to the others.

He has known Xingyan for a relatively short time, but some people have watched Xingyan grow up and should know this information.

“No.”

Xingyan was very sure that he really didn't know anyone from Rikkai University.

The only time someone from Rikkai University showed up was at the youth competition. At that time, Sanada, who had not yet entered Rikkai University, signed up to participate, but for some unknown reason he withdrew midway.

I've never met him, so of course I don't know him.

"Deputy Minister, please don't be angry. I just accidentally got lost. I really was lost. Please help me take a leave. Please, please..."

Just when everyone was confused, a black curly-haired boy wearing Rikkai University uniform and carrying a tennis bag walked outside the tennis court while talking on the phone.

"Just one person?"

Shishido Ryo stood up and was about to go out to find out what this guy from Rikkai University was doing here.

"I think I figured out why..."

Xingyan looked at the curly-haired Rikkai University regular player outside the court, and didn't think it was strange that this guy would appear in Hyotei.

A guy who often falls asleep in the car, likes to run around when he gets lost, and always finds reasons to provoke others...

Kirihara Akaya, a kelp-headed boy who can turn into a demon.

"Xingyan, do you know what he is here for?"

Shishido Ryo stopped and looked at Xingyan. He now had some guesses. Could it be that he really knew her?

Although Xingyan said that he didn't know anyone from Rikkai University, they seemed to have forgotten that Xingyan had never seen the regular candidates from Rikkai University. Even if he knew someone who was at Rikkai University, he wouldn't know!

"Didn't he just say that he was lost..."

Xingyan smiled and shook his head, walked out of the tennis court and came in front of Kirihara Akaya.

I guess no one would believe this excuse of getting lost, but...

Kirihara Akaya of Rikkai University really has the attribute of getting lost.

"Do I need to take you back to Rikkai University?"

Standing in front of Kirihara Akaya, Xingyan showed a smile that was definitely gentle, and asked after the other party hung up the phone.

"Ah? Um... No, no need, I... I'm here to look for someone..."

Kirihara Akari was also frightened by someone suddenly approaching so close that he took a few steps back. After seeing Xingyan's gentle smile, his face turned pale and then red, and he was so embarrassed that he almost turned around and ran away.

He explained haltingly, and then thought that he seemed to be looking for someone, so he toughened his tone a little.

But it was only a little bit, and it was obvious that the momentum was still being suppressed.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? I know everyone in the tennis club. I can help you find that person."

Xingyan looked at Kirihara Akaya who was lowering his head, then turned around and raised an eyebrow at the curious Hyotei people, asking them not to disturb them at this time.

It's so fun to bully a little devil like him.

Probably, it's much more fun than when Atobe made Kaidou Kaoru of Qingxue blush with just one sentence.

"I'm looking for Uchiha Xingyan. I have something to ask him..."

Kirihara Akaya's face turned red. Just when he was about to raise his head to act tougher, a hand pressed on his head.

"What do you want to do with him? Do you want a challenge or an autograph?"

Xingyan is now very aware of himself as a star. He puts his hand on Kirihara Akaya's head. He knows that the boy didn't recognize him just now, so he just keeps on maintaining his attitude.

"Of course I am... I want both the challenge and the autograph!"

Kirihara Akaya was really rude, and had no intention of making a choice at this time.

"So do you want to get the autograph first, or challenge first?"

Trying not to laugh out loud, Xingyan continued to ask.

He really thought this guy was quite interesting, so he decided to tease him for a while. After all, there was no one in their Ice Emperor that he could bully like this.

"What's the difference?"

He couldn't even raise his head. Although Kirihara Akaya liked to get angry and provoke, he was still quite sensitive to danger.

Perhaps it was because he was trained by Sanada's iron fist. After he felt that the force on his head was not something he could break free of, he became much more obedient.

"If you compete first, you might have to walk in and be sent home lying down, and then you won't have a chance to ask for an autograph."

Xingyan thought about it and told him what the biggest difference would be.

"Then you need to sign first and write a blessing message, is that okay?"

The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and Kirihara Akaya then frankly admitted that he actually came just for the autograph.

"Sure, what do you want to write?"

Letting go, Xingyan asked Kirihara Akaya to find the items he wanted to sign.

As for the greetings...

Probably about winning the championship or something like that, but he might not necessarily write that kind of words, after all, the championship belongs to Hyotei.

"Just write it on the back of this, and write 'I wish you a speedy recovery'..."

Kirihara Akaya rummaged through his tennis bag and pulled out a photo frame.

Inside the photo frame is a picture of Rikkai University winning the championship last year, with all of their regular players from Rikkai University.

He came here with such important items to them, so this time he really wasn't lost.

Moreover, the reason for coming to Hyotei was just to ask for a blessing for Yukimura who was in the hospital?
