Chapter 137 Chapter 137...
After talking with Oda Sakunosuke, Yuyin resolved a worry and thought she could continue to watch the game with peace of mind. However, for some reason, she had a vague feeling of unease in her heart that she couldn't shake off.
She didn't have the ability to predict the future like Oda Sakunosuke, but her years of experience in dangerous work had made her intuitive warnings exceptionally sharp.
Whenever this warning appears, it often means that she is facing a difficult crisis.
Could it be the attack on the psychic that Ango-san had warned her about earlier? Or was it the last time she was operating in Yokohama, where she had revealed her whereabouts to the enemy without realizing it?
Yuyin was immersed in her own thoughts when suddenly a burst of loud cheers broke out in her ears.
"The winner is Hyotei! The winner is Hyotei!"
Occasionally, there were some screams of "Atobe-sama~". She looked up and saw that it was Atobe Keigo who had won the last game neatly. He stood in the middle of the court, waving his hand casually with high spirits. Yuyin felt that the people in the cheering group around her were very excited, screaming and cheering non-stop.
Across from him, Kadowaki Satoru, the club's leader, wore a sullen expression, gripping his racket tightly with a look of deep resignation. But sports are like that; strength speaks for itself. Even if he tried his best, simply to ensure his club's defeat wasn't too humiliating, he still couldn't mount a truly effective resistance against Atobe's icy torrent of attacks.
Kadowaki Satoru vaguely recalled the draw on the eve of the tournament. At that time, he had mocked Tezuka Kunimitsu and was severely criticized by Atobe Keigo who was sitting nearby. At that time, he was still very dissatisfied. After knowing that the result of the draw would soon determine the showdown with Hyotei, Kadowaki Satoru wanted to find a chance to embarrass Hyotei. The best result would be to let Hyotei turn pale at the hands of their Maku no Fuji.
But now he was the one who looked so pale, he couldn't even win a single game.
Was he too weak? ...No, it was Atobe Keigo who had grown stronger. He had become even more powerful than he had seen last year.
What kind of monsters are there in Kanto!
Kadowaki Satoru couldn't help but grit his teeth and think.
Now, apart from Muzhiteng’s own players and cheerleaders, no one will pay attention to him anymore.
Saionji Tamane's gaze only gave a slight glance to Atobe's opponent, and then fell on Atobe. Just at that moment, Atobe Keigo also had the same idea and cast his gaze towards her. When their eyes met in the air, they couldn't help but smile at each other. Tamane waved to him, and was truly happy for his victory.
Although she had no idea what the upcoming danger was, at that moment, she was in such a sea of joy that all her worries and sorrows floated away like clouds, leaving only ease and comfort in her heart.

All the Hyotei team members were very happy after winning the battle again. According to Keigo Atobe's usual style, he would definitely reward everyone with a good meal. However, the schedule of the national tournament was very tight, and there was another competition on the second day. And Hyotei's opponent in this round was the strongest opponent in the national tournament so far, the champion of the Kansai Tournament - Shitenhoji!
"I didn't expect Makinoto to be so weak. I thought the runner-up of the Kansai Tournament was so powerful! Now, it seems that Shitenhoji, who defeated Makinoto, isn't that powerful after all~"
With his hands behind his head, Mukaito excitedly spoke to his partner, oh, now it should be his former partner Oshitari. Because of the overwhelming victory today, he felt a little proud and began to doubt the strength of Shitenhoji.
"Yueren..."
Just as Oshitari was about to tell him off for being so cocky, Atobe Keigo and Saionji Tameon, standing nearby, had already taken in Taketo's words. Atobe frowned, "Taketo! Have you forgotten the lesson from our previous battle with Fudomine? Makufuji is Makufuji, and Shitenhoji is Shitenhoji. Just because Makufuji is weaker this year doesn't mean Shitenhoji is easy to deal with. You must not be careless. You must participate in every match with the conviction that you will give your all and win."
"Yes, yes..." Mukai Taketo was suddenly called out by Atobe. He felt a little aggrieved at first, but seeing Atobe emphasize the matter very seriously, he couldn't help but straighten his attitude. "I understand. I will definitely not be careless tomorrow. Just watch my performance!"
Oshitari Yuushi had been planning to use the information he'd gotten from his cousin as an example to urge Takeru to pay more attention, but now that Atobe had taken the lead and become the villain, he changed his tone and said softly, "You're not the only one who thinks Makinofuji is too weak, Takeru. I felt the same way during today's match."
Taketo Mukaihi jumped up and down, "Is that so? Yushi, you think so too, right?" His point of view was recognized by Inuzaka, and his tail almost stood up again.
However, Oshitari Yuushi changed the subject and said, "But after thinking about it carefully, maybe the reason is not that Makinoto is too weak, but that we are too strong."
"Huh? Are we too strong?" Xiangri Yueren was puzzled.
"Yes, we're too strong." Ozuki Yuushi nodded, "Or rather, we've become much stronger. I felt it during today's match, and I felt it even more deeply when reviewing the match and watching you guys. It's not that Makinoto is too weak, it's that we've surpassed our past selves."
Having said that, he paused, pushed his glasses, and turned to look at Saionji Tamon who was walking beside Atobe: "For this matter, I would like to thank our manager, Saionji."
"Eh? Me?" Yuyin was suddenly called out, pointed at herself, and quickly waved her hands, "I didn't do anything..."
She couldn't even play tennis, let alone make any significant contribution to the tennis club.
Shishido Ryo, who had been relatively silent both inside and outside the arena, suddenly spoke up, "Manager, there's no need to be so modest. Our improvement is largely due to the special training you arranged."
Shishido Ryo is the most diligent and hardworking person in Hyotei's training. He has the most say in the training results. He usually doesn't like to talk much, but since Oshitari has brought up this matter, he will not be stingy with his words.
"Yes, yes! Although those trainings were terrible..." Houchotaro nodded in agreement with his senior, his eyes sparkling, "But the effect is indeed there. My serve feels better today! This is all thanks to Manager Saionji!"
"Everyone...you're making me feel a little embarrassed." Yuyin lowered her head shyly. She felt a little embarrassed by the continuous praise from so many people.
At the beginning, her identity as the manager of the tennis club was just a shield, a reasonable excuse to the outside world for why she stayed with Atobe. Later, since she was already in this position, she felt embarrassed to do nothing but protect Atobe, so she also hoped to contribute to the tennis club to the best of her ability in her position.
"Yuyin has indeed contributed a lot to our tennis club. You should not let her down. In tomorrow's match, you must give your all seriously. Do you understand?" Atobe mobilized.
Everyone agreed and then got on the special bus waiting for them on the roadside. The bus would take the starters back to their homes. They had to recuperate tonight and recover the strength consumed in today's game so that they could face tomorrow's strong opponents with the best spirit.
Atobe Keigo couldn't help but shake his head, turning to complain to Yuyin, "These guys, if you don't pay attention, they'll get carried away. Tomorrow we have to fight Shitenhoji."
Although Atobe Keigo is proud, he is not so arrogant that he looks down on others. He respects and values every strong opponent. Shiraishi Kuranosuke, whom he may face tomorrow, is such an enemy that he dare not underestimate, even though he is confident that he will be the winner.
Atobe's gaze fell on Yuyin's profile. He would never lose in front of her!
"We just won the game and everyone is so happy. Yue Ren still knows the importance of things and won't be careless." Yu Yin defended Yue Ren. Seeing that the driver of the Atobe family had already driven the car nearby, she quickly said, "Let's go home too."
When Atobe heard her habitually use the word "go home", he couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, "Yeah, let's go home." He opened the car door for Yuyin like a gentleman.
As Yuyin took a step, she felt a vibration in her pocket, and then heard the ringtone of the special ringtone she had set.
She frowned, clasped her hands together and said to Atobe, "Sorry, I have something to do and need to leave for a while..."
Atobe understood and let her deal with her own affairs first without caring.
Yuyin walked quickly to a less crowded place and answered the phone: "Mr. Ango."
"Saionji, the situation has changed," Sakaguchi Ango said, his anxiety evident in his voice. "I need you here. I need you to come to Yokohama. Please."
Yuyin was silent for a while, looking back at the luxury car parked not far away and the tall figure of the young man standing beside the luxury car. She thought about how important tomorrow's game was and how much Jingwu hoped that she could be there to witness it and cheer him on.
"Mr. Ango, I originally agreed that I would rest for a while after helping you last time. You can't go back on your word, can you?"
Sakaguchi Ango sighed. "If I had any other choice, I wouldn't bother you. The suspect in the attack and murder of the psychic I mentioned to you earlier has been identified... It's Shibusawa Tatsuhiko."
Yuyin's eyes widened slightly: "Shibusawa Ryuhiko? He's not..."
"Yes, but he reappeared," Sakaguchi Ango said bitterly. After all, this matter was originally a mess caused by the top management of the Special Ability Special Agent Department. "Apart from Dazai, the only person I can think of who can deal with him is you."
