Before I knew it, it was less than a week before the national competition started.

While each school is actively preparing for war, some schools will also go to other schools to collect some intelligence.

Naturally, everyone will not welcome these people.

For example, Lehigh University, which has won the national championship for two consecutive years, many people from outside the school have tried to sneak into Lehigh University to collect intelligence in the past few days, but they have been blocked by the guards of Lehigh University.

However, Yamabuki obviously does not have the awareness of this aspect, and does not guard it as tightly as Tatekai Dai, so these tasks fall on the tennis club members themselves.

"Bang!"

"roll!"

Seeing the fierce eyes of the player in front of him, the dangerous aura exuding from his body, and the extremely powerful tennis ball that just flew past his ears, the person who came to inquire about the information unconsciously began to tremble in his legs.

, eyes evasive and frightened, lips trembling: "Yes...I'm sorry!!!!!"

"Hello!"

Just when he turned around and was about to run away, the gloomy voice behind him made his body tremble and he stood still.

"And...what else..."

"Take this piece of garbage away from you."

Not interested in listening to the nonsense of the person in front of him, the player pointed at the pile of equipment on the ground.

The man was stunned for a moment, then he took two steps cautiously, took his telescope, camera, notebook, water bottle, etc. into his arms and ran away without even packing them.

"cut."

Akutsu snorted disdainfully, and then walked to the edge of the rooftop of the teaching building with a calm expression. Looking down from here, he could just see the training situation on the tennis court.

First, he glanced around the corners of the tennis club with arrogant eyes, confirming that the guy just now was the last fish to slip through the net. Akutsu walked towards the stairs unhurriedly, and lightly picked up the tennis balls on the ground with his racket.

, then put it in his pocket, put the racket in his arm, and left the rooftop.

"Oh, Brother Akutsu is back."

Looking at Akutsu who had returned from hiding his skills and fame, Kintaro Toyama shouted heartily: "Thank you for your hard work, little brother Akutsu."

Other members of the tennis club also expressed their gratitude to Akutsu.

Some of the people who come here to inquire about information are technical professionals, while others are just plain thick-skinned. Even if they are discovered, they will look like a piece of meat. Therefore, at this time, it is time for Akutsu to appear.

That aura of being ready to take action in the next second can really scare away many people.

Akutsu did not respond coldly to the thanksgivings around him, but quietly walked to the side and stood there.

Kentaro Minami said to Mikiya Banda at this time: "Oban, it's time to let the school manage it. There are really too many people coming to observe recently."

There's nothing we can do about it. This year's Yamabuki not only has a major change in personnel, but also has less information than the previous one. It also defeated Rikkai University. Naturally, those schools couldn't sit still and wanted to investigate.

Bantian Miki also nodded.

"Well, I understand."

"Ah, really, it feels so uncomfortable to be secretly photographed. It feels like an animal being observed."

Kintaro Toyama put his hands behind his head and complained. Others felt the same way. Now they have to pay attention to their actions even when drinking water. If they are photographed ugly, they will be embarrassed and thrown out of school.

"Oh, I really envy the chief."

Kintaro Toyama's eyes showed a hint of envy and helplessness, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and said lightly.

"Soji, where have you gone?"

...

“Bang bang bang bang bang!”

A stone wall that is not very smooth and flat is suffering from the brilliance of tennis balls.

In the distance, Iridou Mifune, who was drinking a small drink, looked at Souji Hata who was training hard with his eyes casually.

Can he hit five balls in such a short time? This kid can do it!

Although the ability to hit five balls at one time is nothing compared to those who came to the mountain to train in the past, and even belongs to the middle and lower class, but...

Those guys weren't made with a cross racket!

Those guys at the back, who hit seven, eight or nine balls at once, could only do it with their own rackets.

And the current Hatada Souji is still using the unique cross racket.

As if he had found a great treasure, Souji Hatada's love for the cross racket far exceeded Mifune's expectations. Originally, he had wanted to secretly find a chance to hide Soji Souji's racket.

Well, he really hid it, but Soji Hata seemed to pretend that he didn't notice it, which made him very uncomfortable.

There is an inexplicable feeling of shame.

Later, he still felt it was boring, so he secretly put Souji Hatada's racket back far away.

But at that time, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and glanced at Bantian Souji's racket. Good guy, he was shocked after just one look at that racket. His huge body carried an incomparable momentum, like a black bear charging, and ran towards Bantian.

In front of Souji, he held up his racket and roared: "Kid! Why is this racket in your hand?"

"My mother-in-law gave it to me!"

...

"Boy! Did you know that your racket disappeared before!!!!"

"It's gone? Didn't you help me keep it?"

...

"Kid! You should treat this racket well!!!"

"I take good care of myself."

...

That day, Souji Hatada's training volume doubled again.

Really, why did I suddenly get excited that day? After all, it is just a racket.

Feeling a little regretful about his hasty behavior at that time, Mifune thought that Souji Hata must have influenced him.

Originally, with his identity, vision and experience, he wouldn't be so excited when he saw that racket, but...

I am an old man, why do you kid!!!

Thinking of this, Mifune felt unhappy again. After taking two sips of wine, he felt relieved a lot, and his eyes towards Souji Hatada became a little more pleasing to the eye.

Who knows that this wine was specially brought to him from the training camp by Soji Bantian?

It seems that this boy is quite clever. He went and got it himself before I even asked for it. But it is strange how he knew that way.

Mifune Iridou may never know that Hata Souji's other identity is an adventurer.

...

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

Well, one more sound.

Mifune's ears twitched, and he looked at Souji Hata, who was training opposite the mountain wall, and found that the number of tennis balls had increased at some point.

Have you been able to hit six goals in a row?

Irido Mifune watched Souji Hatada gradually adapt to the six-ball streak, and took a calm look on his drink.

This wine tastes good.

...

"Boy, how long do you have until you get down the mountain?"

During lunch, Mifune asked casually.

Soji Hata thought for a while while spinning the leg of lamb on the torch.

"About five or six days."

The leg of lamb was sent from the training camp. The sound of sizzling oil and the irresistible smell of the meat made Soji Matada always worried that he would attract wild beasts from the forest.

You have to eat quickly for a while.

"Well, you kid, work harder for me these days, and I will give you a test when the time comes."

test?

Souji Hatada was stunned.

"If it can't be completed..."

Mifune smiled sadly.

"Actually, it's okay not to go to the national competition, which is like playing house."

Looking at the unabashedly threatening smile, Hata Souji was not too angry. Firstly, he was confident in his own strength, and secondly, he just accidentally hit Mifune Iridou's leg in the face.

It was just an unintentional mistake, how could it be considered angry?

"Kid! Do you want to burn me to death?!!!!"

"I just want you to have a taste first."

“Add some pepper!”
