Chapter 165 Tennis 53
The young man with short purple-gray hair and the black-haired girl danced together in the center of the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention. Their extremely authoritative looks, figures, temperaments, and dance moves all made them look a perfect match.
The haute couture gowns and formal attire, coupled with the luxurious scene that perfectly suits their temperament, combined with their superior family background, make them look more compatible while also creating a stronger sense of distance.
It's so inaccessible.
Just like the prince and princess in a fairy tale, living in a noble and luxurious castle, they are a match made in heaven, and no one else can approach them.
"No matter how many times I see it, I feel that Atobe and Kurikawa are really a perfect match." Kikumaru Eiji looked at the direction of the dance floor and couldn't help but sigh.
The taciturn Kaidou Kaoru also hissed in agreement, "Indeed."
Momoshiro Takeshi immediately looked at Echizen Ryoma, who indeed looked unhappy with a frown on his face.
...I knew this guy was definitely unhappy!
Taocheng Wu was delighted and asked with a smile: "Echizen, what do you want to say?"
The dark green-haired boy curled his lips, "He and Sana-senpai are not a good match at all."
Last time, Momoshiro Takeshi asked him what kind of person he thought was a good match for Sana-senpai, and the guy immediately blew up and listed a bunch of his own characteristics. This time, Momoshiro Takeshi simply changed the question: "Then tell me, what is it about Atobe that is not a good match for Sana-senpai?"
Echizen Ryoma deadpanned, "Monkey Mountain King is purple from head to toe today, like an eggplant. How can an eggplant and Sana-senpai be a good match?"
Everyone: “…”
The seniors of Seigakuen fell into silence.
…Someone please keep an eye on Echizen's mouth? It feels like he'd become poisoned just by licking his lips!
Wait, did they see it wrong?
Why does it seem like this guy is walking straight towards Kurikawa Sana?
Atobe, who presided over this grand banquet, was right in front of everyone! What was this kid trying to do? Provoking Atobe right in front of him? —
"What is this kid Echizen trying to do?" Momoshiro Takeshi was stunned. "Could it be that he also wants to invite Sana-senpai to dance with him?"
Kaidou Xun hissed again, "I feel like Echizen's small steps on one foot will damage Kurikawa-san's skirt."
Taocheng Wu: “…”
Kikumaru Eiji took a deep breath and said, "No, what if he wants to tell Atobe, 'You're dressed like a giant eggplant today'? It's not impossible!"
Momoshiro Takeshi: “…Indeed.”
Oishi Shuichiro's eyebrows twitched with fear. After Tezuka went abroad, he was under great pressure as the vice-captain. "...No, don't do that—"
At that time, the boy with a arrogant look on his face had already gone to the center of the dance floor and stood in front of Kurikawa Sana. The hearts of the people in Qingxue were so nervous that they were in their throats.
Just when everyone thought he was going to invite Kurikawa Sana to dance, or to have a fight with Atobe Keigo, Echizen Ryoma spoke up -
"Sana-senpai, it's time to fulfill the promise you made to me."
……Um?
What agreement?!
Not only were the seniors at Seigaku shocked, but Kurikawa Sana was also stunned.
Atobe Keigo looked at Echizen Ryoma with a scrutinizing gaze, and the other members of Hyotei and the Rikkai group also looked over at him.
"You promised me before, Sana-senpai."
Echizen Ryoma stared at her with his piercing amber cat eyes and said word by word, "Play a game of ball with me."
…

The banquet had not yet ended, but a large number of guests had already left the ball and gathered in the same place without prior arrangement.
A tennis court on the deck of a cruise ship.
The girl who had just been invited by the eldest son of the Atobe Group to dance the first opening dance was stunningly beautiful and impressive. From then on, every move of the girl was extremely eye-catching.
Including the moment she took off her luxurious silver-purple evening dress, put on a simple tennis skirt suit, and came to the tennis court.
Is the game about to start?
As a post-dinner pastime, a wonderful tennis match between young men and women seemed quite appropriate. Standing on the second floor, the directors of the Atobe Foundation and their guests swirled their red wine glasses, chuckling with teasing smiles.
The one who was obviously going to fight against the girl was a handsome and unruly young man with short dark green hair. His amber cat eyes were full of excitement as he looked at the other party.
The regular players from Seigaku, Hyotei, and Rikkai University were all in their respective seats, quietly waiting for the game to begin.
As dusk fell, the sky turned a highly saturated deep blue, stretching as far as the eye could see with no visible boundaries.
Looking out, the only thing visible was the cruise ship Atobe sailing on the sea. The pale green tennis court drifted in the deep, endless blue.
Ryoma Echizen tightened his grip on the racket in his hand and looked up at the sky above the sea.
It was a rare "blues moment".
The "blue hour" is a beautiful sight that appears briefly when the sun's altitude is between -4° and -6°. It only exists for about 20 minutes before sunrise and after sunset. It is short and rare.
Just as he had been looking forward to for a long time, this contest with senior Sana was hard-won.
Echizen Ryoma raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
It’s really nice to play a long-awaited game of ball with the person you love under such a perfect blue sky.
"Sana-senpai," he called out, "Please come at me with all your might."
Kurikawa Sana nodded, gripped her racket tightly and took a fighting stance, "Okay, Echizen-kun."
She knew Ryoma Echizen's strength, which was extremely amazing.
Kurikawa Sana was pondering the most appropriate level of reaction. Echizen was a confident and assertive person. If the score was too far off, would there be a risk of losing favorability? And there were so many capture targets watching...
system:【……? 】
The system couldn't help but remind him: [Well, these concerns should be dealt with after you can truly defeat Echizen Ryoma.]
Kurikawa Sana: [? ? ? 】
Hmm? What is the system saying?
Even if Federer is possessed, can he still not beat him?
But soon, Kurikawa Sana discovered that what the system said was true.
"Nobody beats me in tennis."——Ryoma Echizen suddenly spoke in English.
Then, the next second, his whole body radiated colorful light and aura, shining brightly.
That’s right, it’s the rainbow light in the physical sense, visible to the naked eye.
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
What's this? ? ?
