Xiao Chen and the others were standing outside the tennis club.
There were many people training in the tennis club. Besides the official tennis members, there were also many other players. This surprised Xiao Chen and Liu. They didn't expect the players of Frost King's tennis club to be so hardworking. They were still training so hard on Sunday.
"Akutagawa-kun, today should be Sunday, right? Is your Ice Emperor tennis club training so hard on Sunday?”Xiao Chen asked. This was not a small matter. If the Ice Emperor tennis club was really so hardworking, then they would definitely be the biggest enemy of Lihai University in the Kanto Grand Tournament. They would be a favorable opponent for Lihai University to compete for the championship.
"No, it's never been like this before. It's probably because the Kanto Grand Competition is about to start, so the Minister ordered us to come to school to train on Sunday. However, this is only for official members. There's no mandatory requirement for ordinary members like us.”Akutagawa Tsuro explained.
"I see." Xiao Chen let out a sigh of relief. He thought Frost Monarch had been working so hard all this time, but it turned out that he was just cramming. If that was the case, he didn't need to worry.
"Ci Lang, did you say that the president of your Ice Emperor tennis club is also a first-year student?”said Marui Bunta.
"Yes, his name is Keigo Atobe. Ever since he joined the tennis club, he defeated the seniors in the tennis club and became the head of the tennis club. Now, the facilities of the tennis club are sponsored by the Atobe family.”Akutagawa said.
"To be able to defeat a senior from the tennis club, it seems that this Atobe Keigo's strength cannot be underestimated!”Liu walked to Xiao Chen's side and softly said.
"Yeah, it seems that Frost Monarch is the one we need to pay attention to the most. He might become our biggest enemy.”Xiao Chen also softly agreed.
On the other side, Atobe Keigo, who was training, suddenly stopped. His sharp eyes looked outside the tennis club and he realized that there were a few people he didn't know watching them. He knew one of them as a member of his tennis club, but he had never seen the other three before.
In order to welcome the upcoming Kanto Grand Tournament, he had all the official players train on Sunday in order to win the championship of the Kanto Grand Tournament and prove that he was the new head of the tennis department.
"Who are you? Ah, you're actually sneaking around my tennis club?”Atobe Keigo came to the tennis club and frowned at the people in front of him.
"Director, they are all my friends. They admire our Ice Emperor tennis club, so I brought them here to take a look.”Akutagawa Tsuro immediately went to Atobe Keigo's side and explained.
"I remember that your name is Akutagawa Tsuro, right? Don't you know that the tennis club doesn't allow outsiders to come in? How dare he violate the rules of the tennis club.”Atobe Keigo's expression was very ugly. He had just taken over as the head of the tennis club, and his position was not stable yet. Someone actually violated the rules of the tennis club at this critical moment. Wasn't this looking down on him?
"This Atobe-kun, we didn't seem to have entered your tennis club's inner area. We only looked around the outer area. This isn't considered breaking the rules, right? Atobe-kun, the head of the tennis club, shouldn't be so petty!”Xiao Chen said with a smile. In order not to implicate the "little sheep", he could only do this.
"Who exactly are you?" Atobe looked at Xiao Chen and asked seriously. His cute little face was tense.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. The three of us are students from Lihai University High School. Marui and Akutagawa-kun are good friends.”Xiao Chen said.
"Lihai University Affiliated High School! Are you guys from Lihai University's tennis club too?”Atobe asked seriously. Lihai University had always been the overlord of the Kanto region. They had won the championship of the Kanto competition thirteen times in a row. It could be said that they were the strongest opponents Frost Monarch would ever face.
" I..." Before Xiao Chen could say anything, Marui, who was beside him, had already spoken up.
"We are from Lihai University's tennis club. This is our director and strategist. We came to your school today because Frost King thinks highly of you. Otherwise, we wouldn't even bother to come to a school like Frost King!”Marui Bunta said arrogantly. However, he was not wrong. The Frost King's tennis club was really bad in the past. It had never entered the national competition until three years ago when the tennis club's president, Moonlight Etsuchi, made the Frost King famous in the national competition.
However, this wasn't strange. The Ice Lord Academy was a noble academy. The students were all from wealthy families. They were all young masters and young ladies. How could they endure such hardship? Playing tennis was very tough.
"Marui, don't say such things again.”Xiao Chen stopped him. Their Li Hai University was not the future king yet, so they did not have the qualifications to say such words.
"Your Lihai University is really arrogant! Did he really think that he had already won the Kanto Grand Competition?”Atobe Keigo suppressed his anger. Marui Bunta's words made him very angry. Tachikai University was indeed very strong, but looking down on them still made him feel very unhappy.
"Atobe-kun, I'm sorry. This child is not sensible. He was just spouting nonsense. Please don't take it to heart.”Xiao Chen apologized to Atobe Keigo. No matter what, they were in the wrong this time, so an apology was only right. Moreover, although they were competitors, there was no need to make enemies with others.
Xiao Chen's apology made Atobe less angry." I accept your apology, but as compensation, you have to compete with me."”Atobe Keigo suddenly challenged Xiao Chen.
"Atobe-kun, this isn't good!" Xiao Chen hesitated. Although he really wanted to fight with Atobe Keigo to see his current strength, it would not be good if news of his teammates competing privately spread.
"Ah, could it be that the head of the tennis department of Lihai University doesn't dare to accept my challenge?”Atobe provoked him.
"Atobe-kun, this is a big problem. However, as the head of the tennis department of Rikai University, I still need to protect the reputation of Rikai University. I accept your challenge. Also, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Xiao Chen, a freshman at Lihai University. I'm currently the head of the tennis department at Lihai University.”Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Liu Lianer, first year of Lihai University, currently serving as the military advisor of Lihai University's tennis department.”Liu Lianer also introduced himself. Since the minister had introduced himself, he naturally had to introduce himself.
"You guys are actually first-year students. That's good. Let me see how strong you are.”When Atobe Keigo heard Xiao Chen and the others 'introduction, he became even more interested. He had never met an expert of his age before.
Since Xiao Chen had agreed to Atobe's challenge, he naturally couldn't go back on his word. The two of them went to the court of the Frost Monarch's tennis club, and their match surprised the players of the Frost Monarch's tennis club.
One of them was the head of the tennis club of Ice Emperor, and the other was the head of the tennis club of Lihai University. The key was that they were both in the first year of junior high school. It was really surprising that they were going to have a match.
On the court, Atobe Keigo's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. The other party was of the same age as him, and he was also the head of the tennis club at Rikai University. To be able to stand out in a strong school like Rikai University and become the head of the tennis club in his first year, his strength was definitely very strong. He might be the strongest opponent he had encountered so far.
"Military advisor, will the minister win?" Marui Bunta looked at the two players on the court and was a little worried.
"Don't worry, the minister will definitely win.”Liu was very calm. He knew Xiao Chen's strength very well. Although he did not know Atobe Keigo's strength, he was very confident in Xiao Chen.
"Heads or tails?" Atobe Keigo had already placed his racket on the ground.
"Tails." Xiao Chen didn't mind and made a random guess.
Atobe spun the racket and finally landed on the ground. The letters on the racket handle were facing down, which meant that it was the opposite side. Xiao Chen had guessed correctly.
"Looks like my luck is pretty good." Xiao Chen said with a smile. The first game was his serve.
Xiao Chen's serve was very ordinary, but the angle was very tricky. He hit it to the corner.
This kind of serve was naturally not difficult for Atobe Keigo. He easily returned Xiao Chen's serve.
Following that, Atobe Keigo finally saw what perfect tennis was. Xiao Chen's serve, catch, and return were all perfect. It was almost like what was recorded in the textbooks. It was clean and neat, without any extra movements. Although it was just the most basic tennis, it gave him a lot of pressure.
Soon, the first round ended. Atobe did not get a single point from Xiao Chen. He could not believe that he would not get a single point.
