Yagami vs. Emperor!

"Hello there, little brats. It's a pleasure to meet you all.

My name is Hana, and you can just call me Coach Hana from now on.

Honestly, I didn't really want to come teach you guys, but someone asked me to, so here I am!

I'll be in charge of your training from now on. I hope we can get along well!"

"Please take care of us!"

Seeing that the Hyotei students were very obedient, Hana continued.

"Now, I'll arrange today's specific training schedule! But before that, I need to understand your current situation!

One by one, start by telling me your names. I'll figure out the rest later!

Let's start from the left!"

After she finished speaking, Hana was already holding a notebook in her hand, though no one knew when she had gotten it.

"Coach Hana, my name is Hiyoshi Wakashi!" Hiyoshi Wakashi was already...

"Ooh~~ Coach Hana. My name is Akutagawa Jirou."

One minute later.

Everyone except Chiba Yun Chuan had introduced themselves one by one.

"Alright, let's get to the main topic for today. That's practical combat training!

In a moment, you'll all take turns playing against the little brat Chiba, and the same goes for doubles pairings.

Let's warm up for ten minutes first."

After saying that, she had them start their warm-up run!

"Wow, Atobe looks so cool even when he's running."

"Atobe is really handsome when he runs, look at that stylish middle part!"

"Atobe, I love you!"

"What are you talking about? Yagami is the truly handsome one!"

During the run, the Hyotei regulars started to chat amongst themselves.

"Coach Hana actually called Director Chiba a 'little brat,' that's interesting!" Ootori Choutarou, being a first-year, was the first to gossip.

"The coach just said doubles pairings too, which means President Chiba will be playing singles against doubles? Is that okay?" Oshitari asked from beside him.

"Yeah, won't that be inappropriate?" Shishido Ryo, running next to Chotaro, also voiced his doubt.

"Chotaro, Shishido, Oshitari, what are you doing? Shut up, all of you! Run two extra laps!" Atobe immediately stopped them after they started talking and even punished them.

Hearing Atobe's words, the two of them glared angrily at Chotaro. At this moment, Chotaro, realizing he had caused trouble, sped up and ran further away!

Atobe watched the three of them, shaking his head as he ran.

If this coach dared to arrange it like this, then Chiba Yun Chuan must have the strength for it.

Atobe also understood that Chiba Yun Chuan indeed had the strength for it!

This match must be to test their strength and gather data.

With that thought, Atobe secretly glanced at Chiba Yun Chuan, who was standing with his arms crossed in the distance.

Just how strong is this guy? Even he would have a hard time winning against Oshitari and Gakuto's doubles pairing!

Why does he have such confidence?

Just as Chiba Yun Chuan was watching the team warm up by running, At that moment, a middle-aged reporter was slowly walking around the Hyotei Academy tennis club, observing the environment.

This person was Inoue Mamoru, a reporter from Tennis Weekly!

After walking for a short while, Inoue Mamoru stopped outside the tennis court where the Hyotei regulars trained. He then looked inside. At this moment, all the Hyotei regulars except Chiba Yun Chuan were running.

"As expected of Hyotei, the tennis club is so large and luxurious! And quite a few members too!"

Inoue Mamoru couldn't help but sigh as he walked around Hyotei Academy.

"Look, look, the one running at the very back is Atobe Keigo!"

"Why isn't Director Chiba warming up? What's going on?"

"Go Hyotei! Go Hyotei!"

Hearing the discussions around him, Inoue Mamoru muttered to himself again.

"Are these the Hyotei tennis regulars? Hmm, and who is that?"

As he spoke, he took out his camera and started taking pictures!

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan happened to look over and saw his camera action. Just then, Inoue Mamoru's camera shutter clicked!

He captured a precious, direct photo of Chiba Yun Chuan!

"Wow, Director Yagami is looking this way!"

"So cool, strong and handsome!"

"His aura feels so powerful, I don't even dare to meet Yagami's gaze."

When Chiba Yun Chuan saw who was taking the photo, he knew who it was: Inoue Mamoru, a reporter from Tennis Weekly in The Prince of Tennis. But it seemed to be just him.

It looked like the female reporter Shiba Saori wasn't working with him yet.

But he didn't care.

After all, for him, his interaction with Inoue Mamoru wouldn't be that significant!

After taking the photo, Inoue Mamoru scrutinized Chiba Yun Chuan.

At the same time, he thought to himself:

"To make the Emperor of Hyotei, Atobe Keigo, unable to score even one point, Chiba Yun Chuan, are you really that strong?

I'm really looking forward to it."

Time passed quickly. The warm-up laps for the Hyotei regulars had just finished, and it was time for practice matches!

In fact, the main purpose of the practice matches was to gather data on the current Hyotei regulars and train them to address their weaknesses!

This required someone to test them. Hana could have done it herself, but she refused!

Her reason was that they were too weak, and she didn't want to play.

With no other choice, Chiba Yun Chuan had to step onto the court himself.

"It's finally starting! I can finally see Lord Yagami's true strength!"

"Is it really okay to not warm up?"

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long, please start quickly."

Seeing that they were all ready, Hana picked up the notebook she had prepared and said slowly:

"Next, we will have practice matches. First up, Chiba Yun Chuan versus Atobe Keigo. You will be the referee!"

Hana casually designated a club member to be the referee. In reality, his main job was to record the score, because in her opinion, unless something unexpected happened, all the matches would end 6-0!

However, she had already told Chiba Yun Chuan in advance to push them to their limits!

Hearing Hana's words, Shishido Ryo and the others exclaimed in surprise!

"The first match is against Atobe?" Oshitari, who had witnessed Atobe's crushing defeat up close, was very surprised.

Let alone the other regulars!

Even the members of the tennis club standing nearby were astonished to hear this!

In their eyes, this should have been the last match.

"The first match is already this exciting?"

"I'm so looking forward to it. I wonder if Captain Atobe can win this time."

"Lord Atobe is so cool, and Lord Chiba is also very cool. What should I do?"

At this moment, Chiba Yun Chuan and Atobe had already picked up their rackets and stood on the court. Atobe served first.

"Chiba, although you're strong, I'm not a pushover either. I want to see what your true strength is without your special techniques!"

Although he already knew Chiba Yun Chuan's general strength from yesterday, Atobe still wanted to challenge him!

After all, he had lost inexplicably yesterday, only getting a glimpse of the final shot!

"Atobe, you talk as much as ever. I wish your tennis skills were as good as your talking!"

Flipping his racket in his hand, Chiba Yun Chuan retorted directly at Atobe.
