I can't tell whether it's admiration or regret, or something else.

Atobe Keigo felt that his emotions were very complicated and difficult to describe in words.

He was a little annoyed. "Later, I gradually realized that I didn't recognize Tezuka's passion for betting on Seigaku... As a result, you probably saw that even though I won that game, in the end, I still couldn't surpass him."

He looked at the court in front of him, pushed open the door, and said with a firmer tone, "That's why, when that guy fully recovers and returns to the court, I must be the first one to knock him down."

“And now is that time.”

"I will definitely surpass him completely this time!"

"I'm sorry, Atobe, but what you think of Tezuka is none of my business."

Something flashed in Sanada Genichirō's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice, "Only the strongest can stand at the top, it's that simple."

"Heh~ That's why I have to settle the score with you first."

Atobe Keigo stood across the net and said, "It won't be fun if we don't do this. You serve first. Let's start."

Boom~Boom~

The sound of a tennis ball bouncing on the ground rang out~

“Stop!”

Just as Sanada was about to serve, a third person's voice rang out, interrupting the momentum between the two.

"I can't let you compete, Atobe, go back and practice."

The woman standing at the entrance of the stadium had burgundy curly hair and wore gentle glasses. She was Coach Huacun.

She first stopped Atobe, then looked at Sanada.

"The same goes for you, Sanada. You have to follow the curriculum given by Supervisor Sakaki."

Before Atobe could speak, another voice joined in.

"I guess it's okay, Coach Huacun."

Huacun was startled and turned to look over with an expression of disbelief: "Director Sakaki?"

Her tone was somewhat doubtful.

Taro Sakaki stood outside the court and watched quietly. He glanced at Sanada and Atobe and said, "Let them fight."

Huacun still disagreed and hesitated, "But they are from different groups..."

Taro Sakaki remained undeterred. "This is a good opportunity to observe their strength."

Seeing that the other party was very determined, my refusal was useless.

Huacun shrugged and gave up struggling, "I understand."

She said meaningfully, "Since you are replacing Coach Ryuki as the head coach, then I will listen to you in everything."

Sakaki Taro turned to look at her, "Are you mocking me?"

Huacun rolled his eyes secretly.

Do you know this?

He raised his head and smiled again, "No, I dare not ridicule you."

Yes, that's it! Dare!

Instead, no! Yes!

Inui Sadaharu, who was standing by, had also stood outside the court without him noticing when. "Atobe and Sanada, are they going to play?"

"Coach Huacun, everyone has finished their warm-up exercises,"

Wakato Hiroshi and Kamishiro Reiji from the Hanamura Group came over and were a little surprised to see the two people fighting in the arena.

"No way, Atobe and Sanada are going to compete?"

Huacun said unhappily, "You don't need to care about other people's affairs. Just continue practicing according to the agreed plan."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

You two can only follow your coach's orders and return to your own court, even though you are very curious about the match between Atobe and Sanada.

Taichi Dan, who was a volunteer for this training camp, accidentally discovered the duel between the two and hurried to the training ground of the Ryuuzaki group.

Because it is some distance away from this remote stadium, no one from that group has noticed that the game is going on here.

"Oh no, this is terrible. This is huge news. Atobe and Sanada are fighting on the field over there."
