Chapter 128 Tennis 16
The next time Keigo Atobe met Sana Kurikawa was on the school golf course.
As Tokyo's premier academy for the elite, Hyotei Academy naturally boasts a full-scale golf course, boasting 18 holes, complete with tees, fairways, rough, greens, bunkers, a pool, and caddies. Atobe Keigo was quite pleased with Hyotei's golf course.
But there was this guy who looked like he was going to destroy the court.
The girl, dressed in a light blue polo top and white sports skirt, caught the attention of almost everyone in the room. The fitted dress hugged her slender figure, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail behind a white golf cap. It was a very standard golf outfit, and quite gorgeous.
But her ball skills don't seem to have anything to do with glamour.
When she hit the first shot, Kurikawa Sana's movements were standard, graceful and powerful.
Atobe Keigo was silent for a moment. He stared at her intently, because he thought he was going to see a very standard hole-in-one—
With such standard and perfect movements, her golf skills were so superb that nothing could escape Keigo Atobe's amazing observation skills.
But the other party is Kurikawa Sana, who is always beyond his perception and he can never predict what surprising actions she will take.
The girl swung the club with great force - a large piece of soil on the grass was dug up by her, and flew out in a beautiful parabola, and finally with a "click", it was accurately transplanted to the distance.
Atobe Keigo: “…”
Others watching: “…”
A confused expression appeared on the pretty face of the black-haired girl. She murmured doubtfully, "Eh? Strange, is it really because I haven't played in too long?..."
There were members of the Kurikawa fan club in the stadium. After a brief moment of surprise, they quickly distributed tea and snacks to the people around them, saying, "Please have some snacks," "Please forget about Mr. Kurikawa's mistake just now," and "It was just an accidental phenomenon"!
Atobe Keigo closed his eyes.
Just based on her looks, she already has a fan club in Hyotei that's as powerful as him, and everyone is so crazy about her. One has to admit, this guy's appearance is indeed stunningly gorgeous.
When he opened his eyes again, Keigo Atobe saw Sana Kurikawa swinging the second club.
This time, in addition to digging up the second piece of soil, she also directly knocked the golf ball basket next to it away! Dozens of white golf balls instantly flew out like flowers from the sky, and several of them fell accurately into the hole -
“………”
There was a silent silence.
Atobe Keigo raised his hand and rubbed his philtrum with a headache.
Is this guy planning to destroy the golf course? Is she hoeing the ground or playing golf? She's a good plowman, but if she keeps this up, all of Bingdi's acres will be flattened.
After another round of astonishment, the members of Kurikawa's fan club closed their mouths in surprise and began to applaud.
"As expected of Lord Kurikawa, he scored four goals in one go!"
"Others can only score one goal at a time, but Sana-san can score four goals at once! Who else can do that?"
Even Hyotei's golf teacher only sighed slightly, stepped forward and lovingly touched the black-haired girl's white cap, and said patiently: "You played very well, and your posture is very standard. It's just that you were a little greedy on the second shot, hitting so many balls at once. Don't do that next time."
Atobe Keigo: “…”
?
He slowly formed a question mark in his mind.
Huh? Aren't you guys being a little too indulgent with her?
Of course you can only play one ball at a time. Golf is not billiards, how can you clear the table with one shot?
Atobe Keigo twitched the corners of his mouth.
Facing this guy named Kurikawa Sana, he almost became a complainer.
…
The other side.
Kurikawa Sana observed Atobe Keigo out of the corner of her eye without making any expression.
This was a bit unexpected for her. She had been worried that her two mediocre shots wouldn't match the young master's aesthetic, and would cause him to lose favor. She hadn't expected that to happen at all. Atobe seemed quite kind, with none of the bad habits that some students from aristocratic schools have, like discriminating against and looking down on others who weren't good at aristocratic sports.
Just like the Hyotei-themed dance a few days ago, when she was dancing with Oshitari, she saw Atobe Keigo not far away, his gaze piercing, and yet her favorability didn't drop. Today was even more exaggerated, not only did it not drop, but it actually increased by four points.
What's the pattern here? She scored four goals, so she gained four points of favorability?
system:【………】
System: [You scored four goals, so I added four points to your favorability. What kind of brain circuit is this? Strictly speaking, those four goals you just scored didn't go in at all. But what's wrong with you today? You're a very good golfer, aren't you?]
Kurikawa Sana: [Maybe it's because I've been possessed by O'Neal, Leon, and Federer in succession. My strength and speed are completely different from before. I couldn't control the power at once, but the next shot won't be like that... Hmm? But how did you know I'm a good golfer, system?]
The system was silent for a moment before responding: [In your basketball club application submitted in Act 1, you wrote that you were good at golf, right?]
The memory was a bit fuzzy, and Kurikawa Sana was a little unsure: "Really? I don't think I wrote about it. I only remember skiing and equestrianism..."
Is it an illusion?
It wasn't the first time, but she felt like the system knew her very well, as if it had known her for a long time.
"Kurikawa, you try the last shot." The coach's words interrupted her thoughts.
"Okay." Kurikawa Sana came back to her senses and stared intently at the white ball on the green grass.
Relax, your previous skills and feel are still there, control your strength, control your body, and get that feeling back.
Let muscle memory control your body and swing out——
…
Atobe Keigo frowned as he watched Kurikawa Sana's last ball.
Ready to hoe the fields again?
But this time, her movements were even more graceful, standard and impeccable than any time before.
Atobe Keigo's pupils shrank slightly.
The black-haired girl swung the club with all her might, making a crisp sound that broke through the air. Throughout the entire swing, the girl kept her left arm straight, as if in a textbook, her back leaning forward, her head still, using the power of her chest rotation to drive the backswing.
The perfect combination of visual effects and power aesthetics is pleasing to the eyes.
The little white ball drew an extremely beautiful trajectory among the green shade and blue sky, and then it went into the hole with one stroke.
500 yards, hole-in-one.
A ball with a probability of one in 1 million to one in 6 million, an albatross.
It was definitely not a goal that could be achieved by luck, it was a result of unquestionable strength.
The entire audience fell into silence again, but this time the silence was due to the shock of the girl's almost show-off-like strength.
After a long while.
The stadium was like waking up from a dream, and burst into warm applause and cheers!
"Am I seeing this right? This is amazing!"
"That's amazing, as expected of Kurikawa-san!!"
"Did anyone capture that shot? Albatross! Even if you have to use a satellite, you have to capture that shot from Ms. Sana!"
…
The sounds around were noisy and chaotic.
Atobe Keigo curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and he stopped walking away, then sat back down with his arms folded.
Oh.
That's right, isn't it?
This is how it should be if you have magnificent strength, you should show it without reservation.
Make people worship, admire, and bow down to you.
[Atobe Keigo, Favorability +10. ]
[Current total favorability of Atobe Keigo: 7.]
Kurikawa Sana was giving a red envelope to her caddie for a hole-in-one: "...?!"
Um? ! !
Atobe's favorability rating...is positive!
It wasn’t easy, it was so difficult. Finally, she raised the favorability of a potential target from negative to positive!
His favorability increased by 10 points all at once. Did she hit him somewhere with that shot just now?
Could it be that... he really enjoys showing off his strength and slapping everyone in the face?
Maybe it was true. If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have heard that when Keigo Atobe, a freshman, just entered the school, he snapped his fingers in the auditorium in front of all the teachers and students and said, "From now on, I am the king of this school!"
This statement, which was so arrogant that it would make even the most socially anxious tremble, was justified by his own strength. At the time, Keigo Atobe, a freshman, single-handedly challenged the entire tennis club, remaining undefeated and conquering everyone with his strength.
Kurikawa Sana's hands were shaking with excitement.
So that's how it is... I seem to have discovered the pattern behind the increase in Atobe's favorability!
Seeing her hands shaking like this, the caddy thought she was worried about giving too much money, and said a little embarrassedly: "It doesn't take so much..."
…
Atobe Keigo, who was not far away, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the thickness of the red envelope she gave.
Ah, you know a lot about this, too. You'll give your caddie a red envelope after hitting a hole-in-one.
If you have the ability, be generous enough to the people around you. The same is true for Atobe Keigo. This guy is quite gorgeous in this respect.
[Atobe Keigo, Favorability +3. ]
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
Hmm? The favorability has increased to 10, what has touched the young master?
I understand. The young master also likes to watch people spend money like water.
"No, that's not the case." Kurikawa Sana trembled and gave another stack, feeling ecstatic inside.
You like gorgeous things, right?
In an instant, memories of the previous world flooded into Kurikawa Sana's mind - the shocked and stunned expressions of everyone and their surging favorability after she displayed her amazing volleyball skills were still vivid in her mind.
It’s decided.
Kurikawa Sana took a deep breath.
It’s better to do it today than to wait for another day. She will go to challenge the Hyotei Tennis Club soon!
