Early mornings at school are always loud and energetic, but this law doesn't seem to work very well for someone returning from the United States.

Sakura looked at Echizen who was sleeping soundly with jet lag next to her, and smiled, and there was some obscure light in her quiet eyes.

"Sakura, the ranking match of your tennis club starts today, right?"

Xiao Pengxiang turned around with great interest, glanced at Echizen lying on the table from the corner of her eye, and deliberately lowered her voice.

"I heard that Echizen was also included in the team. Is it true?"

"Um,"

Ying Nai's mind moved slightly, and she turned her head to look out the window, "It's true."

"Wow! Awesome!"

Xiaopengxiang's eyes lit up, and the bell rang at the right time, but she had to turn around with her mouth pursed as she wanted to say more.

Sakura looked out of the window alone, just separated by a layer of glass, as if two worlds coexisted with noise and silence.

After a long time, she sighed softly, and turned her eyes back to her slightly trembling hands, which was the restlessness in her heart.

Last night's dream was filled with the endless darkness, some vague and trivial lights and shadows, and even some cheers and applause that made her feel familiar from the bottom of her heart.Involuntarily closing her palms together, Sakura clenched her hands tightly, only feeling that the rough calluses on her fingertips were slightly hot, burning into her heart uncontrollably...

In the tennis club.

"Hey, look, there is a first-year student in the participating club!"

"Really, did I make a mistake!"

"How can there be a first-year student!"

As soon as the news spread that there was an extra first-year student participating in the school's main selection ranking competition, it caused an explosion in the tennis club. Almost everyone rushed to the bulletin board to identify the true and false, whispering endlessly.

"That Echizen, the one who fought with Arai yesterday, right?"

"It's him, he looks pretty strong. But anyway, he's only a first-year student, so how could he be ranked?"

"I heard that he came back from the United States, it's really cool!"

"It's really the first case. I don't know how many things like this will happen in the future!"...

Sakura leaned on the fence outside the court, turned her eyes sideways, and everyone's doubts and comments fell into her ears verbatim.

The black racket stood beside her legs, and a sad atmosphere gradually diffused around her. No one saw the sadness in Sakurano's lowered eyes unconsciously, aching faintly.

"Give you."

A bottle of water was handed to Sakurano, and she raised her head in surprise, facing Joe Etsuzen's expressionless face.

But the look of awkwardness in his eyes was extremely obvious, Sakura pursed her lips, took the water bottle with a smile, and felt that the headache that suddenly ached just now was better.

"Are you concerned about what those people said?" Echizen leaned down beside Sakurano, paused and said, "They were talking about me, not you."

"Huh? No, it's just a headache."

Sakura was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile on her face, "Is Echizen worried about me?"

Hearing this, Echizen's expression froze suddenly, and he pressed down the brim of his hat in a concealed manner, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger, "I just, think, the feeling you give me is a little familiar."

With downcast eyes, he didn't know that his few words made waves in the eyes of the girl next to him. Sakura stood up straight in a daze, the smile on his face was slightly restrained, so that he calmed down, and Echizen, who had just raised his head, When he focused his eyes, he was stunned by this extremely gorgeous smile. This feeling was so familiar.

"Hey! Echizen!"

The sudden greeting completely destroyed the strange atmosphere between the two, Sakurano and Echizen followed the prestige, just in time to meet Taocheng who was walking towards them.

"Senior." Nodding to Echizen's title, Momoshiro shifted his gaze to Sakurano who was beside him, while embracing Echizen's shoulders, he shook his hand at Sakurano, with a clear smile, "You are Ryuzaki, right? I'm Takeshi Momoshiro, your senior."

"Senior Taocheng."

Sakura bowed politely, "I'm Sakura Ryuzaki, please give me your advice."

"Tsk tsk, look at how polite they are! Look at you again, your eyes have grown to the sky!"

Touching his chin, Taocheng patted Echizen's shoulder unceremoniously and jokingly, his tone was surprisingly familiar, "Today's ranking match, you have to work hard! Senior, I'm waiting to see you make a big fight!"

Taocheng's loud voice attracted everyone's attention, he came here specially to cheer up Echizen, and then he left his back amidst the shouts of the main candidates, and left gracefully.

"I also feel like I have known Echizen before."

Sakura also looked at Echizen who was still standing in front of her, and said softly, "Echizen... Ryoma, come on."

Staring blankly at the back of Sakurano who turned to leave after speaking earnestly, Echigo held the pat and tightened his heart inexplicably.

Twilight is approaching, standing in front of the scoreboard, Sakura squinted her eyes and pursed her lips as she looked at the game records that filled most of the game.

"Ryuzaki-san,"

Hearing her own name, Sakura turned around and met her shiny...glasses, "You can just call me Sakura, Senpai."

"Sakura, I noticed that you watched almost every match of the main draw, and made some records, didn't you?"

Following Ganxing's gaze, Sakura looked down at the notebook in her hand, "Oh, I wrote some unconsciously."

"Is it data?" Seeing Qian who seemed very interested, Sakura smiled and shook her finger slightly, "It doesn't count."

"Uh... so."

Gan pushed his glasses, turned sideways, "Next is Tezuka's match, do you want to go and see the strength of the head of the Youth Academy?"

"Oh, the chance of me going is of course 100% as the senior thinks..."

Smiling narrowly, Sakura shrugged, and walked towards the court together with some careless ones.

"I heard from grandma that Minister Tezuka's dominant hand was injured. What kind of injury was it?"

"Well, a year ago, his arm was swung hard by a racket, and then he practiced too much, which caused the old injury to recur,"

Gan's voice is very flat but he can still hear his faint regret, "So I have been recuperating all the time." "That's it."

The game has been going on for a while, Sakura is observing carefully, staring at the reliable figure like a pillar in the field and said softly, "Rigorous...serious...skillful, and has a heart that loves tennis."

Hearing this, Gan looked a little surprised, but saw Ying Nao's soft and tender side face under the twilight.

"He must be a good leader, and he must be the support for Qingxue to move forward."

"Yes! He is the pillar of Qingxue!"

Qian's tone was firm, implying an incomparable trust in that person on the field.

As the game drew to a close, cheers and shouts rang in the ears of the two of them. Together they looked at Tezuka walking out of the court steadily, with thoughts and warmth in their hearts.

"Hey!" "Burning!"...

There was a commotion and a sound not far away, which attracted everyone's attention.

"It should be the first year of that genius!"

Gan Wu said to himself, Tezuka who had finished the game and Sakurano who was smiling walked by him, he nodded and followed, "I'll go and save his data too."

Slowly walking into the arena, lowering the brim of his hat, a ray of warlike excitement flashed in Echizen's eyes.

"Kawamura, it's your turn to play."

Oishi, who had finished the game, approached and reminded Kawamura who seemed to be still not in the state.

"Huh? Oh."

Kawamura smiled naively, and walked into the court in a daze, forgetting to pick up his racket.

Taocheng outside the court laughed "hehe", grabbed the racket and threw it towards Kawamura, "Kawamura! Your racket!"

"Oh! Thanks!"

As soon as he grabbed the racket, Kawamura's expression instantly cheered up, and he looked at Echizen with fiery eyes, "Burning! Comeon! I want to beat you! Boy!"

The sudden roar surprised Echizen on the opposite side. Sakurano, who saw Kawamura's game for the first time outside the court, was also a little surprised. Then she stood in front of the net with her chest crossed and looked at the court in a leisurely manner.

"Winning or losing is determined by a set. In the first game, Kawamura will serve!"

"Comeon! Feel my burning!"

Kawamura swung his racket with extreme excitement, and a serve flew towards Echichi, who was calm and unhurried, with a fierce style of play.

Looking at the ball flying towards him, Echizen frowned imperceptibly, and his voice was not too loud, just enough for everyone in the audience to hear, "Is Qingxue's tennis club only so capable?"

"boom!"

Kawamura didn't even see Echizen's racket swing, and the counterattack had already passed by his side accurately and fiercely, and he didn't even have time to move.

"15-0."

"Good guy! Are the current first graders so arrogant?"

Taocheng grinned at Echizen on the field, and said awkwardly, "Although it does have a bit of momentum."

"Hiss... Compared to you, a one-legged violent man, it's naturally much better!"

Haitang on the side has always been at odds with him, and took the opportunity to attack Taocheng, who injured his left foot due to the game. "What?! Violent man?!" Taocheng was furious immediately, "Damn Viper! Are you sure you're not talking about yourself?!"

"It's you! One-legged violent man!"

"Okay, okay. Stop arguing!"

Dashi hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over, but the two fought against each other, so they couldn't listen.

At that time, just after the game ended, Tezuka, who came to watch the match, saw the noisy two people with a single glance, and his aura suddenly brightened, "Taocheng, Kaitang disrupted the order of the game field, punished, and ran ten laps around the field! Go now!"

"No way! Minister, I still have injuries on my feet."

Taocheng's appeal only resulted in a more tragic ending. "Taocheng, add another five laps!"

... Everyone turned their sympathetic gazes to the two who were saddened and ran away, but Gan still muttered to Echizen on the field, "Kawamura has just reached [-]% of his strength, so words like this will undoubtedly arouse his anger. "

Hearing the dry muttering, Sakura smiled slightly, and the silhouette of the rebellious young man on the field was reflected in his eyes.

"Arrogant boy! You will pay for your words!"

Sure enough, Kawamura became irritable, glaring at Echizen, clapping his hands tighter and tighter, "I'm going to crush you!"

"come!"

The corner of Echizen's mouth raised a provocative arc, and his tone seemed dismissive, "If you have the ability, come and beat me."

"you!"

Kawamura couldn't control it any longer, he tossed the ball high in his hand, jumped up, swung his racket vigorously, and shot the ball with terrifying force towards Echizen who was waiting on the opposite side.

"Eighty percent, eighty percent power!"

Pushing the glasses dryly, "Can Echizen stand it?"

Facing the forehand, he hit Echizen's racquet net with full force, and the huge impact brought him back a step. After a stalemate for a few seconds, he raised his left hand together and hit back hard.

"15-15."

The return ball missed the net, hit the net and fell, tying the score.

"It still doesn't work."

I made a note in the notes, and my tone was not fluctuating, "I still have some disadvantages against a powerful golfer like Kamikawa." "Take another ball from me!"

With the same strength, Echizen's pupils shrank slightly, he walked quickly to the net, leaped forward, and volleyed in the air.

At the moment of stagnation in the air, Echizen struggled to stop the serve, gritted his teeth, and held his left hand, and returned to Kawamura's midfielder for a moment.

"boom!"

Although he didn't expect the ball to be hit back, Kawamura caught the ball back immediately and raised his hand to hit it.

Echizen could only watch helplessly in the air as the ball hit his own midfield, causing a cloud of dust.

"30-15."

"Catch it."

Although Echizen still lost the point in the end, his performance in catching Kawamura's [-]% strength still surprised the few people watching the battle. He moved slightly and quickly recorded the data, "Is the adaptability to strength so strong?" .”

"1-0"

Just as Echizen gradually began to adapt to Kawamura's [-]% strength and began to return the ball, the sudden increased strength of Kawamura caught him off guard and lost the first game.

"call."

Echizen patted his racket, and the lowered brim of his hat covered his extremely bright eyes, the excitement and fighting spirit hidden in them were almost dazzling.

"Good! You managed to get me excited!"

Echizen raised his head, stared directly at Kawamura opposite him with bright eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed startling confidence and arrogance, "However, that's all. You are still far behind!"
