It was break time, so the other members of the tennis club gathered around to watch the show. Ryuzaki Sumire said in a deep voice, "I called you all to assemble during the break before the last class today because I need to convey the instructions from the sports department and the school."
Fuji Syusuke and the others clenched their fists secretly, eagerly anticipating what would happen. Ryuzaki Sumire breathed a sigh of relief, took out a document, cleared her throat, and said, "According to information obtained by the sports department, all selected players will participate in a training camp lasting several months! And the official selection of U17 players will take place!"
Momoshiro Takeshi and the others clenched their fists and looked at Ryuzaki Sumire with shining eyes. Ryuzaki Sumire smiled and said, "You should have all received the news from Mr. Shiraha. Next, we will announce the time, the selected team members, and the school's arrangements."
"Selected members: All members of the Seishun Academy Tennis Club!"
"Oh!" xn
The onlookers gasped in surprise, and Momoshiro Takeshi and Fuji Syusuke cheered. Ryuzaki Sumire continued, "This time, I won't be going. There will be a dedicated coaching team there. This training will be completely closed, so you all need to prepare your luggage."

"Yes!"xn
"In addition, starting this afternoon, all of you are free to leave the school. Meet at the entrance of the Seishun Academy at 9:00 AM this Wednesday to go to the training camp. Don't go anywhere for the next two days. Pay attention to your diet to prevent injuries and unnecessary illnesses before the training camp begins."
"Yes!"xn
Ryuzaki Sumire nodded and said, "Alright! Then... dismissed! You can go home after the last class, but of course, you can finish the afternoon classes if you really want."
Shuichiro Oishi raised his hand and said, "Coach Ryuzaki, if we go to the training camp, then the class hours and courses..."
"You don't need to worry about that. You won't miss any of your classes, and all your exams this semester will be graded as excellent. This is also a reward for bringing honor to the school."
"However, regarding the courses, you will need to attend full-time make-up classes after everything is over, and you will also need to study on your own during the week. They will also provide you with academic teachers so that you won't fall behind."
Upon hearing this, Momoshiro Takeshi and the others cheered. They all had subjects they excelled in, but not all subjects were as good as Tezuka's. There were always subjects where they barely passed. This time, they were lucky.
The students around him looked on with envy, and Momoshiro Takeshi and others were also discussing the matter. Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed up his glasses and said to Ryuzaki Sumire beside him in a deep voice, "Coach Ryuzaki."
"Guoguang, these kids are in your hands, Oishi and you. Take them to the world stage."
As Oishi Shuichiro and Tezuka Kunimitsu watched Momoshiro Takeshi and the others walk arm in arm toward the school building, chatting and laughing, a hint of nostalgia flashed in their eyes. This was the battlefield where they had fought for three years.
Tezuka Kunimitsu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said softly, "Coach Ryuzaki, thank you for your guidance over the years."
Shuichiro Oishi nodded repeatedly. This was their last time together in the tennis club. After the training camp came the World Championships, and when they returned to school, they would be preparing for their next academic year. It was time to bring this chapter to a close...

Chapter 389 Mai Sakurajima's Gratitude and Reflections (Please Subscribe~)
"So, this is what Shuchiin is like. Although it looks a bit old-fashioned on the outside, the interior decoration is very luxurious. After all, those who come here are either geniuses or children of officials and merchants. The teaching atmosphere and teaching staff can be said to be the strongest."
Yuno Gasai was standing at the school gate, speaking to Kurome and the others. Akame and the others nodded in agreement. Putting aside Mai Sakurajima's desire to escape the world, their trip to Shuchiin Academy had gone quite smoothly.
Whether it's the learning atmosphere or the internal facilities, Akame, as the older sister, nodded repeatedly in approval. It is indeed a good school and deserves its reputation as a prestigious institution.
"Okay, Yuno, you go to school obediently, we'll go to Totsuki first."
"Oh... Nami-neechan, when you see Sakurajima-senpai, remember to ask me for a megaphone..."
Everyone's eyes twitched. After calling Yuno Gasai back to class, Nami and the others left Shuchiin. Tina clicked her tongue and said, "That Sakurajima-san, she probably hasn't given up on life yet."
"Let's go check out the coffee shop!"
"Okay!" xn
When everyone arrived at the coffee shop, they saw Mai Sakurajima sitting in a corner, stirring a cup of coffee with a spoon in her hand. However, she was staring blankly at the messy latte art with a blank look in her eyes. There was also a megaphone next to her. Nami and the others felt a little embarrassed. This girl has it tough.
"Um... Ms. Sakurajima?"
Sakurajima Mai turned her head blankly, and only after seeing Nami and the others did she breathe a sigh of relief and say, "Nami-san, you're done shopping...?"
"Um... well, Sakurajima-san, are you alright? You... seem to be having trouble getting over this. But don't worry, Yuno will probably get nagged by Lucy and the others when she gets home today. She was just trying to help you, although her method... well... wasn't very tactful."
Mai Sakurajima sighed and said, "I know. From the initial frustration and dissatisfaction that made me want to escape life, to the freedom and novelty of being forgotten, to the fear and loneliness that followed, and now, a few months have felt like decades. My mentality is not as strong as steel, but it is certainly not that fragile."
"That's true. After all, this can be considered a kind of rebirth for you. You were forgotten by the whole world, and then you reappeared in the eyes of the whole world."
"Hmm... To be honest, I'm definitely ashamed. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to my teachers when I get back to school, or how I'm going to face my classmates' questions and stares. But this is also real proof that I've returned to this world, so I still want to thank Yuno."
Nami sighed and said, "Gin and you, the mentality of the two of you will definitely be terrifying in the future. By the way, we're about to head to Totsuki now. Let's have lunch together afterwards. Haven't you always been curious about our family and our husbands?"
"Um... sorry to bother you."
"It's alright, it's alright. I thought you would try to make excuses."
"It's unrealistic, because I was already planning to visit the store, and I'm also curious about Yuno's family, so I have no reason not to go. Besides, if I don't go today, Yuno... um..."
Upon hearing this, even Najenda's eyes twitched. She could already imagine how cunning Yuno Gasai would be, and Mai Sakurajima might actually burst into tears.
"That's settled then. I've already paid for your meal. Let's go."
"Eh?"
"Consider it an apology from the older sister on behalf of the younger sister..."
Sakurajima Mai coughed lightly but didn't say anything. Clearly, she didn't want to recall that scene. Since Yuno Gasai wasn't there, and Nami and the others were very kind to Sakurajima Mai and easy to talk to, Sakurajima Mai quickly calmed down.
"By the way, Ms. Sakurajima, are you still planning to continue being an actress?"
Mai Sakurajima sighed and said, "Yes, I plan to face my life head-on, but I will still uphold my principles. I will..."
"Then come work for our company."
"Your family...company?"
Do you know Golden Entertainment?
Mai Sakurajima nodded and said, "Of course I know, it's one of the best and largest entertainment companies in Japan. Wait, you're not going to say..."
"Yes! Rino is one of our sisters. We talked to her about you before. Considering you've been out of the spotlight for so long, and suddenly disappeared from the public eye for so long, she worried that you might be marginalized or dissatisfied with resource allocation. So she directly said that she would welcome you to audition and join the team."
Sakurajima Mai said with some surprise, "You guys..."
"Yuno, she's always remembered you. Don't let her somewhat cunning nature and lack of expressiveness fool you; she values her friends and family more than her own life."
Mai Sakurajima felt a warmth in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's absolutely impossible for me not to be tempted, and it would seem hypocritical to refuse. Thank you... However... I need to talk to my mother about this."
"Of course, you should definitely tell your parents about this."
"It's not what you think. My mother is also my manager...she...she will definitely let me join..."
Nami and the others looked at Sakurajima Mai with some curiosity, feeling that things weren't so simple. After exchanging glances, Nami coughed lightly and said, "That makes sense too. However, Ms. Sakurajima, if you join Golden Entertainment, they will definitely assign you a dedicated manager."
Mai Sakurajima paused for a moment, then glanced at Nami with some surprise. Did they feel that they didn't get along well with their mother, which is why they said such a thing?
"I..."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Anyway, you have to go to the restaurant for dinner today, right? Yuno definitely won't let you go. You can rest at the restaurant today. By the way, your family won't say anything. You can also have a video call with Rino to meet her. After that, just let them handle the negotiations."
Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips, and after a long while, she let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "With family like yours, it's no wonder Yuno found salvation..."
"Huh? Ah! The tram's here! Let's go!"

Chapter 390 Karina's Three Conditions, The Mad Tesoro (Please Subscribe~)
Just as Nami and the others were heading towards Shuchiin, Karina stopped at the entrance of an alley in a tavern on the other side, sighed, and said, "Come out, I knew you must have followed me."
Upon hearing this, a sexy woman with brown skin stepped out from the side. It was Bakara. Bakara was not surprised. She simply put one hand on her hip and the other hanging by her side and said with a smile, "Miss Karina is finally back."
Karina turned around and said with a hint of helplessness, "I knew when I left that Tesoro would find me when I came back. Did he send you to capture me?"
"Arrest? Of course not, Miss Karina, you don't need to test me. The two you left with that day were both high-ranking naval officers: Vice Admiral Momousagi and Tina Kuroko, and another one... a gentleman who shocked the whole world..."
"so?"
"So this level is not something the Golden City can handle. Moreover, Lord Tesoro is very curious about and admires that gentleman. He specifically instructed me to invite you to chat when Miss Karina returns. From now on, you, including Miss Karina, will be the most distinguished guests of the Golden City."
Karina narrowed her eyes, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You made a wise choice."
Bakara smiled and stepped aside, saying, "Well then, Miss Karina, please... The best chef in the Golden City has been preparing this lunch for hours, and Lord Tesoro is waiting for you."
Karina wasn't scared. Lucifer and the others had left her defensive magic, so running away would have been too easy for her. Besides, she had guessed this would happen when she arrived.
Tesoro was looking at a photograph, seemingly lost in thought, when he suddenly heard footsteps. He looked up and saw Karina and Baccarat walk in.
Tesoro also stood up and said with a smile, "Isn't this Miss Karina? It's been a long time..."
Karina sighed and said in a deep voice, "Just say what you have to say. I came back for this very reason. If you have nothing to say, I will leave tonight."
"Hahaha! No wonder you can thrive in the Golden City. I really underestimated you before. But you're different from those old foxes like Doflamingo. It's rare to have such a straightforward chat. Please sit down. You are the star of this feast today."
Karina glanced at the table full of delicious food, smacked her lips, and without saying a word, found a seat and sat down. It is worth mentioning that Bakara personally pulled out a chair for her, a treatment that could be said to be equivalent to that of Tesoro.
Karina is not just a songstress; she is also a secretary in this golden city. However, her position is delicate—not as high as Baccarat's, but certainly not low either.
Bakara stood to the side and personally poured Karina a glass of wine before pouring one for Tezzolo. Karina crossed her arms and said, "Just say what you want to say."
"Good, very good. As expected of that gentleman's friend, you are indeed extraordinary. Then I will get straight to the point. Who is that gentleman?"
"I bet you still have questions like what he does, where he is, where I went, and what his relationship is with Gion-nee and Tina-nee, right?"
"Smart, but you don't need to worry about anything. That gentleman can easily kill CP0 guards and defeat heroes Garp and Akainu without using Devil Fruit abilities or any weapons. I still admit that I am far from being his match."
Karina didn't say anything, just took a sip of her drink and started eating with her cutlery. Tesoro, on the other hand, was watching with a smile, twirling the ring on his hand. He was eager to get to know Bai Yu, and he knew that Karina would most likely say that she was just thinking about what conditions to ask for.
Bakara wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that every time Karina took a sip, she would immediately refill the glass. At this moment, the secretary of the Golden City was like Karina's maid.
After taking a few bites, Karina wiped her mouth and said, "The taste is so-so. My palate has really become too picky."
"Oh? Not satisfied?"
"Of course not. This meal is top-notch by local standards, but the food I've had lately has been much more delicious."
"It seems Miss Karina is planning to say something."
Karina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Three conditions."
"what?"
"I want three Devil Fruits, not Zoan types, but high-level Paramecia or Logia types."
Tesoro didn't say anything, just smiled and twirled the gold ring in his hand. Karina continued, "Secondly, I need information about the underworld. Any information I want to know, if you can't find it out or don't know it, that's fine too."
"Third, collect all the gold dust from everyone!"
Tesoro laughed and said, "Hahaha... As expected, you didn't come back without a purpose. Intelligence, good! No problem! Devil Fruits... three? Not many! But the third one... do you know what you're talking about?"
As Karina cut the steak on her plate, she said softly, "In return, you will get the answers to the questions mentioned above. Don't speak yet. In addition, you will receive a message that the whole world is suppressing, and I can take you to see him and tell you some things about him."
117 "Something the whole world is suppressing?"
"That's right...it's related to the Celestial Dragons."
Tesoro narrowed his eyes, twirled the ring, and after a moment of silence, said, "Sounds good, but..."
"What if I told you that the Celestial Dragons are going to be wiped out?"

Baccarat smashed the bottle in her hand to the ground, her face filled with disbelief. Tesoro also crushed the gold ring on his finger, his pupils shrinking as he stared at Karina in disbelief.
Karina remained silent, quietly enjoying her food. For a moment, the atmosphere was eerily calm. Tesoro swallowed hard, his eyes filled with disbelief. At that moment, his ears started ringing again.
His mind was filled with a smiling face through tears, his body was burning with the pain of being branded with a hot iron, and he heard cries and cheers all around him. In the end, only a few words remained in his mind: Celestial Dragons, extermination.
Tesoro was trembling all over, his breathing became heavy, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his hands were clenched tightly. Bakara came to her senses and wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
After a long while, Tesoro finally raised his head, his eyes filled with madness and resentment, his lips curled up in a wild grin, veins bulging on his forehead, and he said almost word by word, "Deal...with!"

Chapter 391 Tesoro's Surprise, Karina's Invitation (Please Subscribe~)
In the room, Bakara stood quietly, while Tezzolo stared at Karina with clenched fists, his eyes filled with madness. Karina sighed and rummaged through her bag, pulling out a cell phone.
After searching for a while under their watchful eyes, he found a video and then looked up, saying, "In that case, I will naturally keep my promise and answer the questions you want to ask first."
"His name is Bai Yu. He is the manager of a restaurant, but his skills are unmatched in the world. His cooking skills and overall abilities are unparalleled. He has a great personality, is warm and considerate to his friends, thoughtful, multi-talented, and has a strong sense of family and responsibility."
Bakara paused for a moment, somewhat surprised, and said, "I knew he would be very strong, but... how could such a powerful person run a restaurant? And be so gentle and considerate at that..."
"However, that is the truth. These are two of your questions: what is his name and what does he do? Gion and Tina have great respect for Mr. Shiraha and have feelings of admiration for him. Tina is currently staying at Mr. Shiraha's shop, while Gion is with Nami's sister in Cocoyasi Village."
"Vice Admiral Momousagi and Tina Kuroko actually both like the same man? But if what you said before is true, no normal woman would be immune to attraction to a man like that. However..."
Karina said casually, "I know what you're trying to say. Neither of them intended to win over Mr. Bai Yu, and they couldn't possibly do so anyway. Besides, the fact that these two are so free is related to the news that the Navy and those Celestial Dragons are desperately trying to suppress it."
