The youth tennis competition has begun, and Kirihara and Sakamoto easily defeated the 16-year-old high school students on the opposite side and advanced.

After advancing, there were several more matches in the afternoon, and Echizen Ryoma also easily defeated his opponents.

"What's going on? Why are there so many little brats aged 12 or 13 causing trouble in the 16-year-old group this time?"

"There was a 12-year-old primary school student. I saw his match. He was very short. It must be because his opponent was too weak."

"Two players from the Rikkai National Junior High School tennis club are participating in the competition. They are from the school that won the national junior high school men's tennis championship for two consecutive years. These two kids are quite capable, so we need to pay attention to them."

Karasuma Gaki and his companions passed by the group of people who were discussing this. Kirihara heard others discussing that he had some strength, and he curled his lips. "Hmph, I'll let you know my strength this afternoon!"

Passing by the self-service beverage machine, he saw Echizen Ryoma bending over to get a drink from the exit. Karasuma Gaki walked up to him and greeted him, "Ryoma."

Echizen Ryoma turned around. He couldn't remember what his name was, "Senior."

"My name is Karasuma Gaki, this is Yukimura Seiichi, Kirihara Akaya, and Sakamoto, we are from the Rikkai University Tennis Club." Karasuma Gaki used his social skills to introduce several people.

Yukimura raised his eyebrows slightly. It was a familiar scene. The last time Yuan was so enthusiastic was when they just met. He took a step forward and took the initiative to say, "Little brother, do you want to go to dinner together? It's my treat."

Karasuma Gaki was slightly stunned. When did Aichi become so proactive?

Echizen Ryoma would never refuse an invitation to dinner from his senior, "Thank you, Yukimura-senpai."

"Minister Yukimura!" Kirihara heard that it was the minister's treat, so he jumped to Yukimura's side, hugged Yukimura's arms and acted like a spoiled child, "I want to eat ramen!"

"What about Sakamoto? What do you want to eat?" Yukimura smiled and let Kirihara hold his arm and walk away.

"Anything is fine with me." Sakamoto is not picky about food.

"Where is the little brother?" Yukimura turned and asked Ryoma Echizen who was following behind him.

"Ramen is okay, thank you senior." Yukimura-senpai was so gentle, he thanked him again. Rikkai University seemed to be pretty good too, and the senior would accompany the junior to participate in the competition and help with warm-up.

"Hey! Little brat!" Several people were suddenly stopped by three high school students. They turned around and saw that it was the high school student who was swinging the racket on the train in the morning. He was pointing the racket at Kirihara and looking at Ryoma. These two little brats embarrassed him on the train.

Looking at the taller Karasuma Gaki, he decided to point his finger at the short guy in the hat. He moved his racket towards Ryoma and lifted up Ryoma's hat with the racket. "Kid, I'm the seeded player in the under-16 category and the recognized favorite to win. It's a hundred years too early for you to teach me how to hold the racket!"

Longma raised his head with an unruly look in his eyes. He stared at the high school student who was talking nonsense without saying a word. The high school student couldn't help but get annoyed, "What are you looking at? Huh? You self-righteous guy!"

As he said that, he swung the racket at Longma. Longma showed no fear and continued to stare at him. The racket stopped in front of him.

A girl with double pigtails in the distance saw this scene and couldn't help but cover her face and let out a short scream.

The girl let go of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the high school student didn't really hit anyone with the racket. The people in the distance didn't move and looked calm and composed. She couldn't help but run forward.

"Sasabe, it's time for us to go." The classmate following Sasabe spoke up. There was a competition in the afternoon, so it was time to eat, rest for a while and then continue preparing.

Sasabe glared at a few people fiercely, put away his racket and turned around. An arrogant voice came from behind him, "Hey, have you learned how to hold the racket? I think, let me teach you how to play tennis today."

Seeing Ryoma provoking Sasabe, Kirihara stepped forward and hugged Ryoma, joining the provocative team. The high school student just pointed at him and said, "Big brother, do you want to compete with us?"

Kirihara is actually a very polite child. Even when he is provoking others, he will still politely call them "big brother".

Ryoma turned his head to look at Kirihara who was hugging him, and shrugged his shoulders. Seeing that Kirihara didn't respond, he sighed helplessly. It seemed that this senior was a little insensitive.

"Akaya." Yukimura's light voice came from behind. Kirihara froze. They at Rikkai University did not allow private competitions, and he had forgotten about it again. He let go of Ryoma's hand and retreated behind Yukimura.

Seeing Longma turned his head and looked at him puzzledly, he raised his little fist to cheer him on, "I'm cheering for you. Our school does not allow private competitions."

"Tsk—" Karasuma Gaki laughed out loud at Kirihara's silly look.

"You bunch of little brats!" Sasabe turned around with an unpleasant look on his face. These little brats kept provoking him and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Arriving at an empty court nearby, Sasabe and Ryoma stood on the court, and Kirihara volunteered to be the referee.

The girl also came over and stood at the edge of the court to watch.

"Single-leg small steps." Kirihara sat on the referee's chair, watching Ryoma's steps. This kid should have a pretty good basic.

Sasabe was full of contempt for the smaller elementary school student, and when Ryoma scored with a drive, he turned to explain to his classmates, "I was just lax for a moment."
