It was like thinking the opponent was Agumon, but it turned out to be a Tyrannosaurus, and he was just an ordinary Rollermon.

This makes Katsuragi-san a little hurt.

However, he is a person who can remain calm for the sake of the overall situation, so he does his supporting work honestly.

Chapter 129: Double Tennis: Don’t underestimate the experience of playing tennis alone! Next!

Hashimoto plays tennis very fast.

After passing the net, all you can see is a bright yellow shadow.

but.

"bump!"

Ishizaki Daichi is a member of Ryuen's small team.

What Ryuen liked about him was not his brains. Ishizaki, like Ibuki, was the type without brains, but Ishizaki was very loyal, and his fighting ability was recognized by Ryuen.

and so.

Ishizaki gripped the racket and chased the shadow of the flying tennis ball. The moment the ball bounced off the ground, he threw it towards Hashimoto.

however.

Before people could even cheer for such a wonderful catching move, they found that Hashimoto, a student from Class A, jumped up directly, then swung the racket, and this time the ball flew past Ishizaki's side. In other words, the ball that Ishizaki had just caught was actually just a feint, the purpose of which was to lure Ishizaki to one side and then attack the other side.

At this time, Ishizaki was unable to react at all.

Hashimoto also used his brain well.

But this is something Ishizaki doesn't have.

"Hashimoto Katsuragi's team scored a goal!" A first-grade teacher who served as the referee announced the winner of the goal.

It was Hashimoto Katsuragi who scored.

"This tennis skill can already catch up with me." At this time, a boy with black curly hair who looked like a crow tengu walked behind Sakayanagi.

This person usually has little presence in the class and doesn't even say much, but he can see the situation clearly. He became a member of the Sakayanagi faction and chose to join Sakayanagi the day after he entered school.

He is also the most combat-capable member of Class A besides the newly joined Gaoyuan Temple.

It’s a pity that in order to suppress Class B, Kito was assigned to projects related to Shibata and Ishizaki from Class B.

So the 10 project opportunities have been used up.

"Hashimoto-san looks like he's tried hard." Princess Sakayanagi withdrew her gaze and finally sighed as if giving a comment.

"So, Sakayanagi, which side do you think will win?" Kamuro asked.

"Although Hashimoto-san seems to be hiding his abilities, he's very good at tennis."

"But it's a pity," Sakayanagi said. "The other party is also hiding their strength."

The other party is also hiding his strength. Are you referring to Ishizaki Daichi?

indeed.

Ishizaki-san is Ryuuen's confidant, a former delinquent, and also... joined the basketball club shortly after entering school.

In other words, I train every day.

So whether it is explosive power or strength, although he is not as good as Sudo who can hang on the wall, he is not someone who can be defeated easily.

Hashimoto's is very flexible.

but.

"Although I'm not particularly good at tennis," Ishizaki said, "I still remember the rules well."

Ok.

The correct statement is that I can play tennis rather than that I have memorized the rules of tennis.

However, Ishizaki-san and Ibuki-san are similar in that they are the type who don't ask questions after giving an order.

In other words, be willing to work hard.

Then it's reliable.

And now.

"bump!"

Ishizaki-san immediately unleashed his full strength.

First ball, second ball, third ball.

Hashimoto failed to catch three balls in a row, not because he couldn't see the trajectory of the ball, but because... the opponent's strength was too great.

There's no stopping it.

"Jump serve!" And Ishizaki even jumped up.

The yellow-green rolling ball flew directly towards Katsuragi who was behind him, but when Katsuragi tried to catch it, the ball bounced directly towards the protective wire mesh with a swish sound and got stuck there, but the ball was still rolling.

It can be seen how hard and powerful Ishizaki hit this shot.

The students who were originally just watching have stopped talking and are quietly waiting for the situation to develop.

"Very courageous!"

Hashimoto is not stupid either. Ishizaki is very strong, and when Ishizaki has the opportunity to serve, he will try his best to check whether he can receive it. If he can, he will receive it. If not, he will not receive it.

So although there would be losses, his physical energy was not consumed much.

Simultaneously.

It's not just one team that serves.

So he can also get the chance to serve.

And Ishizaki has no brains.

Therefore, he often uses tactics such as deliberately embarrassing Ishizaki or making fake moves to gain points.

And in such a tense situation.

Both sides won one game each.

It was the third round, the one that would decide the outcome.

"Hashimoto and Katsuragi's team gets 1 point!" said the referee.

And now, the serving party fell to Hachiman and his team.

"I really want to win by continuing this momentum, but something's been wrong with you since the beginning!"

Standing on the same court as Ishizaki, and being a careful person, Hikigaya would of course notice Ishizaki's condition, which was a bit strenuous. Also, he was holding the racket with both hands.

These are areas that require attention.

"I hate to admit it, but my strength has decreased a bit, and my right hand just cramped up... But if I could rest for a while..."

"Um..." Ishizaki was a little out of breath.

Doubles tennis matches are played in a best-of-three format.

7 balls in a game.

The first one to score 7 goals wins the game. If you win the second game directly, it will naturally be the easiest.

But the current situation is that Hashimoto got the serve and deliberately teased Ishizaki, so Ishizaki was fooled into running all over the court, which was very tiring.

Ishizaki's physical strength is not weak, but he also needs time to rest.

But this kind of game doesn't have a halftime break, so it's really disadvantageous for him. Especially with the cramps... Once this happens, it takes at least 10 minutes to recover.

And now.

"Group B has concluded its matches, with the winners being Komiyama and Maori."

That was the winner of Ryuuen's class.

"Group C has concluded its competition. The winners are the Utsunomiya and Daizo teams."

But this is a first-year team, among whom Utsunomiya Riku is currently a student in Class B of the first grade. Hachiman has checked his OA data, and found that his physical fitness is rated A.

With Ishizaki's current strength, he cannot completely defeat the opponent.

of course.

Rather than defeating Utsunomiya Riku, we now have to consider defeating Hashimoto first.

Hashimoto was very mean and kept deliberately draining Ishizaki's energy, not even giving him time to relax.

Then.

This is the only way I can do.

"Next, let's change positions." Hachiman said.

"Huh?" Ishizaki seemed stunned.

"Like I said, I'm pretty good at playing tennis. And I can play alone. So, you go to the back, rest, and wait for your body to recover," said Hikigaya.

but.

“…”A man was playing tennis.

How to play tennis alone?

"This is probably about when I was playing tennis in physical education class and couldn't find my teammates, so I learned the skill of playing tennis alone."

At this time, a girl with straight black hair and over-the-knee socks appeared in the audience.

Oh no, the other person is a girl who looks like a flower on the mountain top.

This is Yukino Yukinoshita from Class A, first grade.

To Sakayanagi, this is her junior schoolmate, but also... she could be her love rival.

of course.

Yukinoshita-san doesn't think so.

"Hikigaya-senpai and I have some similar auras, so I deduced this."

So, you used to play tennis alone?

"..." I unexpectedly learned about the troubled past of this beautiful schoolmate. No wonder she seemed a bit distant.

"Yes, it seems that his junior high school life was not happy." President Sakayanagi said.

In fact, I was recalling the dark history of the girl that Hikigaya-san mentioned when he first confessed his love to her.

From what he said, we can know that the girl who confessed her love did not have a deep impression of him, which means that Hikigaya might have been just a nobody in the class in the past.

Not conspicuous.

just.

Even though he was isolated and couldn't find any teammates in physical education class, Hikigaya didn't cry. Instead, he stubbornly played tennis by himself.

It's so cute.

It makes people want to love a little.

Think so.

Sakayanagi's gaze swept across the audience, then she looked towards Kamuro.

Kamuro noticed her look.

But she found that Sakayanagi seemed to be signaling her to look at her phone.

Look at your phone.

Did you send any information?

[I'll record the information of those who cheered for Hikigaya-san later.] by Arisu Sakayanagi.

"..." by Kamuro.
