The Deceiver's Lair

All members of the tennis club will always remember that moment when they saw the girl who openly challenged Sanada—Asahi Towa, standing on the court.

I thought this guy was going to die.

She stood on the court, fiddled with the net cable in a relaxed manner, and grinned at Sanada who was standing on the opposite court.

How familiar this scene is! One can't help but think of a certain freshman who just entered school a year ago who was the leader of the sea and so arrogantly challenged Sanada, and it turned out to be a tragedy.

"By the way, Sanada, Uncle Yamamoto asked me to say hello to you for him."

Sanada, who was already sternly waiting, was taken aback for a moment, recalling the Uncle Yamamoto that Shitatowa was talking about, and nodded to her.

"and also."

She paused. "Uncle wants me to try my best to beat you." Towa raised his purple tennis racket at Sanada, exuding a confident demeanor. "In order not to insult tennis, let's all do our best!"

For a moment, Sanada acted so directly and boldly. Although Sanada felt that Towa was overreaching, he didn't dislike her serious and respectful attitude towards things. Her eyes were fixed and sharp as a blade.

"I won't show mercy."

Everyone on the tennis court looked at Towa with an expression of "Are you an idiot? ==", except for the other main candidates, they were more interested in how many minutes Asahi Towa could last.

"Looks like it's going to be a good game."

Yukimura returned his arms to his chest, looked at the two people on the field, and spoke with high-spirited confidence.

"Then, the match begins, with Asahi serving."

Shihe put away her smile, her expression was serious and focused, completely different from usual, but she didn't look nervous, as if she had adjusted herself to the best state, she threw the ball high and hit it out.

She didn't have any skills in her serve, and Sanada naturally responded simply and easily. In fact, there was no special technique in Towa's tennis, so as Sanada continued to score, the people on the tennis court were not surprised at all. It's just that many people put irony on her arrogant remarks just now.

However, the candidates are different.

"Lenji, what do you think?" Yukimura narrowed his eyes slightly, but still had a smile on his face, and asked Liu who was beside him.

"Every shot is very close to the bottom line, and he is good at hitting people's dead corners." Liu, who kept making records, paused for a moment, and then added. "The area where Genichiro is not good at returning is 100%, very good ball control."

Liu Sheng adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, as usual he couldn't see his eyes clearly behind the mirror, but he could feel his focused gaze.

"Well, although it doesn't look like there are any gorgeous skills, her shot is very precise, as if everything is controlled by her, which will bring great psychological pressure to ordinary people."

"Although she is not as good as Sanada, the women's net department is definitely not her opponent." Kuwahara was left in a drop of cold sweat. "Is she really just a beginner?"

Of course, Sanada himself noticed it, and was really surprised by her talent, but it was not enough to be his opponent, so Sanada decided to use a unique move directly to end this disparity in strength as soon as possible.

"Ah! It's the aggression of Fenghuohuo Forest!" Surprised all around.

Shihe was completely unable to fight against Fenghuolin, and could only watch helplessly as the balls brushed against each other and scored.

Kirihara looked at the scene that was almost similar to that year, and his heart was turbulent.

"I really can't see that her physical strength is better than mine."

With the return of the ball and the passing of the round, Marui's eyes widened in surprise. Sanada was usually relaxed because he was in training, but Shijuwa didn't even catch his breath.

What a physical strength! Even Kuwahara nodded sympathetically.

"I didn't expect him to be quite skilled." Seeing Towa's unexpected performance, Nioh was stunned for a while, and then laughed casually, with a deep light in his eyes.

"Game Sanada, FiveGamesToLove."

Shihe breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up straight in a leisurely manner. This kind of exercise was nothing to her, and the training with Li Baoen before was terrible.

"If Sanada-kun wins the next round, it will be a set!" Towa smiled slightly. "Then I'll get the promised ball in the next game!"

What a bold statement!

Everyone thought so, even Sanada was no exception. He frowned a little unhappy, and then served the ball. He wanted to see if she had that ability!

It was exactly the same as before.

Just kidding?

Sanada thought so. After hitting the ball, he turned around and suddenly found a change.

Juwa held his hands high in front of his eyes, the hand holding the racket was in front, and the other hand was at the side. Nioh, who was familiar with shooting games, knew that this posture was like shooting.

Then, everyone saw only a momentary afterimage like a fire. Sanada was still staring at Towa in a daze. The floor was slightly cracked.

It seemed as if she could smell smoke and gunpowder, judging from her barely moving condition, he knew that this counterattack was extremely fast!

Seeing the position of the ball, Towa gave a smug smile.

"A trip to the Santu River──sniping."

Dumbfounded, it took a long time for the second-year team member who was the referee to announce the ten-draw score, and the entire tennis club suddenly erupted into an uproar.

Shihe breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bright smile: "Fortunately, this trick works, I bet everything on this ball."

Sanada's eyes widened in surprise, and then gradually calmed down.

"Well, this trick is very powerful."

"Indeed, if you heard me right, Asahi-san's move is called 'sniping', right?" Then Yukimura and the main candidates gathered together.

"I asked my governess to teach me this trick."

As soon as Liu heard this, he immediately started writing quickly.

"I really want to meet him if I have the chance, but Asahi-san who only took three days to practice to this level is also very good!" Yukimura looked at her meaningfully. "In every way."

At this time, Shihe suddenly looked into the distance. "No, it's all because my teacher is an omnipotent person who can make you die once and then go to hell to make you die again..."

0.o

What's with that messy metaphor!? And what's with your expression!?

The members of the Rikkai Tennis Club showed indescribable expressions for a moment.

"Since the appointment is made, our tennis club will never miss the appointment."

Yukimura approves Towa's club application form. "Please give me your advice in the future, Manager Asahi."

"Okay, please teach me more."

Juhe bowed his body, his gaze rested on Nioh, and Nioh was watching her at the same time, and the depths of the eyes of both of them were burning with raging fire.

Successfully joined the club, Yes! Next is your death!

↑This is Shihe's distorted thoughts hidden under his smile.

The next good show will start, I will definitely be good, good, close, photo, you!

↑This is Nioh's sinister idea hidden under his smile.

The author has something to say: small postscript:

Kirihara: "Senior sister, let's compete with me too!" (Excited)

Towa: "Oh~~Sorry, I refuse." (I think it's troublesome)

Kirihara: "Please fight with me, please, please!" (gritting teeth)

Towa: "...Okay! If your English can beat mine." (Show hands)

Kirihara: "..." (an arrow hit the heart)
