He raised his right leg and it landed on the ground with a "clack". The sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground seemed to fall clearly into everyone's mind for an instant.

The whole movement of Keigo Atobe standing up was elegant and handsome.

He slowly walked out of the shade of the parasol, and gradually revealed his handsome face from the shadows.

"Those who want to have a sweet dream..."

The boy in the Hyotei uniform raised his head, showing his usual proud, firm, confident and decisive look, with a familiar smile on his face.

He raised his right hand and pointed it towards the sky.

"Just follow me, let's go together!!!"

“Aaaaaa——”

"Hyotei, Hyotei, Hyotei..."

The students of Hyotei Academy cheered in unison, rejoicing at the leadership of the king they all respected.

The regular players of Hyotei Tennis Club watched this scene with a smile on their faces.

Suddenly, I realized that three years have passed.

The scene of their first meeting three years ago seemed to reappear in front of Yuushi Oshitari's eyes. The boy was exactly the same as he is now, without any change at all.

It is said that time will make people low-key and calm.

but...

Oshitari Yuushi's expression suddenly became somewhat dazed.

He whispered, "But Atobe seems to be getting greater and greater."

Also more charming.

The charm of a gradually maturing emperor made his followers involuntarily obey his will.

"What are you talking about? Isn't Atobe always like that?"

Xiangri Yueren didn't think so much, "He has always been great, right, Jiro? You think so too?"

"Yeah~ Jiro also likes Atobe-sama very much~"

Akutagawa Jiro answered Gakuto's questions loudly and lively, then looked at the scene over there with a smile on his face and muttered in a low voice: "This is Atobe, this is him."

Atobe looked at the familiar cheers of the crowd in front of him, turned his head and said with emotion, "Haha, it looks like it will be quite lively, Jingguang, Karaji?"

"Of course. Whatever my brother wants to do is naturally gorgeous."

Atobe Kagemitsu put down the juice cup in his hand, and firmly believed in his heart: What could my brother do that would not be magnificent?

Huadi, who was carrying two tennis bags, also nodded to show his agreement: "Yes."

Atobe Keigo tilted his head to look at Kabaji who seemed a little dazed, as he took 0.5 seconds longer than usual to react.

A flash of unknown light flashed across his eyes.

Then he quickly covered it up, without anyone noticing.

He turned to look at Sakaki Taro who was standing with his arms folded behind his back, and asked politely and respectfully,

"Counselor, I'd like to get started right away."

Sakaki Taro nodded, swung his right hand straight out, put his index and middle fingers together, and a low violin-like sound rang out, "Well, let's go."

......

Hyotei Academy, from top to bottom, spent a whole week preparing.

Tennis clubs from all junior high schools in Japan received invitations from Hyotei Academy, inviting everyone to participate in the first junior high school tennis festival hosted by Atobe and held at Hyotei.

The time is set on the weekend.
