Jiro Akutagawa was so happy that he even used his usual interjections.

He ran to the rest area, waved in Sasuke's direction, and then sat down next to Atobe.

But the reason he was so excited was not because he beat Rikkai, but because he hit a few more balls than Oshitari.

Following Jiro to the rest area, Shinobu shrugged to indicate his innocence, then sat down to wait for the next match.

"Your members are quite interesting."

Yukimura Seiichi's smile faded for a moment, then he smiled even more broadly again.

Their seniors from Rikkai University really did lose terribly.

"So we didn't waste this training period, but our teamwork is practically zero..."

Sasuke looked at Gakuto Mukahi, who was handing the cake to Jiro. It seemed that some of the original teamwork training was still needed.

"The Great Niou Masaharu, Yanagi Renji!"

The second match begins, and this time both teams are first-year students.

The combination of Takiginosuke and Shishido Ryo is relatively better, but their opponents are very tough.

Whether it's Renji Yanagi's data-driven tennis or Masaharu Niou's rudimentary ability to imitate, both can disrupt the little bit of chemistry that Taki and Shishido have recently honed.

"Your seniors from Rikkai University are really pathetic."

As Sasuke watched the doubles score climb higher and higher, he felt sorry for the older players once again.

Although they knew it was part of the world's setting, there were just too many geniuses in Atobe and Yukimura's year, so most of the upperclassmen could only become stepping stones time and time again.

"At least we still have three regular players left. Your seniors at Hyotei are the ones who are really in a bad situation."

After looking at the regulars of Hyotei, Yukimura Seiichi found it strange that Sasuke could say something like sympathizing with their Rikkai University seniors.

The fact that the entire first-year students of Hyotei are the biggest blow to the upperclassmen must be this.

"There's nothing we can do, our first-year students are just stronger."

Hyotei also rose to power through sheer strength, and Sasuke didn't see anything wrong with that.

Rikkai University wins 6-1, tying the series 1-1.

The referee announced the result, and the two Hyotei players, who had only scored 1 point, left the court dejectedly.

They only managed to win one game at the very beginning, and then they were constantly being pressured by their opponents.

"Watch the upcoming matches closely."

Atobe looked at the two who had lost with a cold gaze, but he didn't say anything about what went wrong at that moment.

Although he felt that the two players' teamwork was full of flaws, there were still matches to be played.

"Sasuke thinks who would win in a one-on-three fight."

Yukimura waved to Niou and Yanagi, who had won the match, and then continued to chat with Sasuke about the next match.

Although the score is currently 1-1, Yukimura is very confident about the upcoming singles match 3 and singles match 2.

If Rikkai wins consecutive victories, it will be a victory for them.

"These two are about the same, it just depends on who has better reflexes and endurance."

Sasuke watched as Gakuto and Bunta Marui left the arena and could guess what the next two singles matches would be like.

Winning or losing is possible, and it will definitely be a close, back-and-forth battle with a close score.

Not only the two red-haired boys who have already left the game, but also Atobe and Sanada, who are in singles second place.

"Sasuke, look at that ball, it's amazing! How did he do that?"

Not long after the competition started, Jiro Akutagawa saw Bunta Marui walking the tightrope and became very active.

After greeting Atobe, he ran over to Sasuke, practically asking Sasuke if he knew how to play that kind of ball.

"He is Marui Bunta, a technical player. Jiro can go and talk to him after his match."

Seeing Akutagawa Jiro's bright eyes, Sasuke didn't explain much about Marui Bunta's ball skills.

After all, they are opponents. It would be really excessive to analyze their skills too much in front of them.

Moreover, he remembered that Jiro Akutagawa and Bunta Marui would be friends.

At times like these, creating opportunities for them to play together is the best approach.

"Is it really okay? Isn't that too reckless? That tennis ball he just played was really amazing..."

Jiro Akutagawa was unusually conflicted.

"Perhaps you could bring a gift, but I don't know what he likes."

In order to create an opportunity for Jiro, Sasuke looked at Yukimura and asked him for a hint.

"Bunta likes to eat desserts."

Since that's been said, Yukimura naturally played along and started talking about some of Marui Bunta's hobbies.

Moreover, this is no secret.

It's an open secret in Rikkai University's tennis club that Marui Bunta, who is usually quite composed, can't resist desserts.

"I understand, I'll go find Atobe!"

Upon discovering that the person he wanted to meet shared the same hobbies, Jiro Akutagawa excitedly jumped up and ran to Atobe to explain the situation. Shortly after, a servant brought over a cake.

"Is this how the regular players at Hyotei are usually?"

Yukimura Seiichi's attention was divided into two parts: watching the game while also observing Akutagawa Jiro.

He soon discovered that when Jiro Akutagawa said he wanted to be friends with Bunta, the Hyotei players acted as if something major had happened.

Some offered suggestions, some handed him his coat, and others analyzed Bunta's personality...

Even Taki and Shishido, who were feeling down after their earlier loss, joined in, seemingly having completely forgotten how badly they had fared...

.

Chapter 44 revealed Yanagi Renji's notebook.

“Others may not receive this treatment, but Cilang is an exception.”

Sasuke looked at the rest area and directly pointed out Jiro's special status at Hyotei.

In the beginning, although Jiro was very popular, he was not yet the kind of person that everyone cared about.

Then some things happened, and that's how it turned out.

That was a week after Hyotei started school. Sasuke was in the tennis club office that day adjusting the training plan for the following week. By the time he received the message, Atobe and the others had already brought Jiro over.

A few students from Hyotei University couldn't stand the tennis club and felt that it shouldn't occupy so many resources, so they tricked Jiro into going to the rooftop after class.

During training, Jiro was nowhere to be found, and no one answered the phone. It was only after Atobe checked the surveillance footage that they were able to locate him.

Although no one was injured, the threats and intimidation used by those people greatly frightened Jiro.

After sending the student to the tennis club office, Keigo Atobe, representing the student body, added several new campus management regulations, and the student who caused the disturbance was expelled.

After several days of hypnotherapy by Sasuke, Jiro gradually returned to normal.

However, everyone in the tennis club still felt that Jiro was being targeted because of the tennis club, so they would take care of him whenever they had the chance.

However, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the cause of this incident again, let alone tell anyone.

"The way you Hyotei's regular players get along is truly enviable..."

Niou Masaharu let out an exaggerated sigh and found a seat to sit down to the side and behind Yukimura.

"Could it be that the Rikkai University regulars aren't getting along well?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow at Yukimura, curious about how this con artist from Rikkai University dared to imply in front of the club captain that the atmosphere in the Rikkai tennis club was unpleasant.

"As long as the minister doesn't always have that chilling smile, the deputy minister doesn't resort to harsh words and iron fists, and Liu isn't constantly recording where things went wrong... most of the time, it's quite pleasant."

Niou Masaharu's smile became increasingly forced, but he still managed to voice some of his complaints.

Although he knew he would be remembered by the minister, the deputy minister, and Liu, who was always elusive and recorded a lot of unknown information.

"It seems that Niou has a lot of grievances against us. This is truly heartbreaking!"

Yukimura Seiichi's smile was incredibly radiant, a smile that was originally like a blooming lily, but now resembled a spider lily, its beauty masking the gates of hell...

"Seiichi, this isn't a good thing to do. How can you make your team members afraid? Our Hyotei regulars have never felt this way before..."

Upon seeing Yukimura's eerie smile, Sasuke felt a moment of sympathy for Niou Masaharu and the other Rikkai regulars.

However, with the opportunity right in front of him, how could he not take the chance to strike back? He hadn't forgotten that this guy had just been watching his misfortune.

"Sakaki Sasuke, 13 years old, 171cm tall, regular player for Hyotei Tennis Club, the true coach and training recorder of the regular players for Hyotei Tennis Club, the uncrowned king of Hyotei Tennis Club, every time he participates in tennis training, he sends the opponent to the infirmary, and there is a 93% chance that the opponent will faint and be forced to leave the court..."

With his eyes closed, Yanagi Renji, who still had his sister's hairstyle, appeared behind the two of them, holding the notebook in his hand and reading out the information about Sasuke.

"There's far too little data about me. You can ask Seiichi or Genichiro. While their information isn't entirely accurate either, it's always closer to the truth than what you've recorded so far."

Sasuke, who had been sitting next to Yukimura, appeared next to Renji Yanagi and ran his fingers over the data records in his notebook.

These five dimensions and the records of his ball skills are too weak. How could he only meet the standards of an ordinary adult athlete?

"I'm very sorry, I will try my best to collect accurate data."

Renji Yanagi closed the notebook in his hand, took a few steps back, looked at Sasuke, and apologized very seriously.

He must have misremembered. The speed just now was like teleportation; how could it possibly be the recorded value?

All the data is incorrect; he will rewrite it later.

"Such speed, Sasuke-kun... are you sure you're just playing tennis?"

Niou Masaharu raised his head blankly; he seemed to have just seen a fleeting shadow...

"If the speed isn't fast enough, I won't be able to see those information records."

Sasuke had always been curious about the notebooks of Renji Yanagi from Rikkai University and Sadaharu Inui from Seigaku, and now that he saw them, he was certain that the notebooks were filled with all sorts of information.

This data series is truly remarkable; recording so much information and then extracting and organizing the useful parts...

"It's a tiebreaker now. Sasuke, can you tell who has a better chance of winning?"
