The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Have you been secretly practicing tennis lately?"

Since it's about being lazy, the power of ball control naturally won't be as precise.

Zaimokuza has already picked up the ball several times, but Hachiman Hikigaya hasn't lost a single point from the beginning.

"How could that be? I'm very busy too, where would I find the time to practice tennis?"

Shrugging, Hachiman Hikigaya rejected the theory of a wooden base.

His time is already fully booked at noon, afternoon, and evening, so how could he possibly have time to train tennis?

"Besides, the midterm exams are next week. Even if I want to do special training, I should wait until after the exams, right?"

Midterm exams?!

Timber's body stiffened instantly, but the tennis ball still flew past him.

With a thud, the timber stand knelt down on the ground.

"I forgot about this, now we're doomed..."

"It's not a big deal, is it?"

"How is that possible? This is a very serious problem!"

Seeing that Hachiman Hikigaya still didn't understand the consequences of failing the exam, Zaimokuza, while crying, explained to him the consequences of failing the exam.

"You'll have to attend tutoring classes every afternoon until you pass the make-up exam before they'll let you go!"

"If I fail the exam, my novel will be permanently discontinued!"

"Then study hard and try to pass the exam!"

What you said makes a lot of sense, but it's as good as saying nothing at all.

Zaimokuza looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with a resentful gaze.

If he could pass the exam simply by studying hard, would he be in such a hurry?

and,

"Weren't we discussing Miura apologizing to you?! Why did we have to bring up final exams?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻!"

"You changed the subject first, so you can't blame me."

Hachiman Hikigaya wore an innocent expression.

"Is this my fault?!"

Gripping his racket tightly, Zaimokuza focused intently on hitting Hachiman Hikigaya with his most prized shot.

The tennis ball was hit back like a cannonball, making a whistling sound.

However, just as the tennis ball passed over the net, the bottom of the ball was grazed.

In an instant, the tennis ball that was originally flying towards Hachiman Hikigaya changed direction and was hit to the side.

What was originally just a normal mishit became a shock when, following the direction the tennis ball had flown, they saw a petite figure crouching directly in front of it, instantly putting their relaxed hearts on edge.

"Ruined......"

Clutching his head, Zai Muzuo couldn't bear to watch what was about to happen.

Regardless of whether the ball hit that person or not, his reputation in the class will drop another level.

Hachiman Hikigaya rushed towards the figure.

"It's him?"

As he drew closer, Hachiman Hikigaya recognized the person as Saika Totsuka and a look of surprise crossed his face.

Why is he not playing tennis? What is he doing next to them?

However, now was clearly not a good time to ask questions. Before the tennis ball arrived, Hachiman Hikigaya rushed to Totsuka Saika, then turned and hit the tennis ball back with a powerful shot.

"Okay, great!"

Totsuka Saika only felt a blur in front of him before Hikigaya Hachiman teleported from the court to his side and hit the ball back, a ball that seemed impossible to catch.

Immediately, a look of admiration appeared on his face.

"Well, it's nothing special... By the way, are you alright?"

Even though he knew Totsuka Saika was a man, Hachiman Hikigaya was surprised to find himself somewhat excited when he saw Saika looking at him with adoration.

"It's okay, I'm a guy, getting hit by the ball won't hurt me at all!"

As she spoke, seemingly to increase the credibility of her words, Totsuka Saika bent her arm and made a muscle-flexing motion.

It's completely unconvincing! And why make such a cute gesture?!

Hachiman Hikigaya felt as if his mind was being subjected to a tremendous shock.

He covered his eyes with his hands, repeatedly telling himself that the guy in front of him was a man, a boy...

Hmm, it seems like it's not unacceptable for men to do it abroad either?

Strange pieces of knowledge suddenly flashed through my mind.

Hachiman Hikigaya immediately grabbed the nearby guardrail and rammed into it.

Chapter 123 Totsuka Saika's Invitation

"Um, are you okay?"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly ram into the fence like a madman, Totsuka Saika asked with a worried expression.

"He's fine, he's just feeling quite down and conflicted right now..."

While the two were talking, Zaimokuza, who had walked over from the other end of the court, rubbed his eyes and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya with a pitying gaze.

Another disappointed person has been added to the world.

"Disappointed, why?"

Completely unable to understand what Zaimuzu was saying, the culprit tilted his head in confusion, a cute, troubled expression on his face.

"puff!"

Zaimokuza felt his blood rushing to his head, and then he rushed to Hachiman Hikigaya's side to join him in crashing into the railing.

A few minutes later.

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now..."

Having steadied his nearly crumbling faith, Hachiman Hikigaya calmly began chatting with Saika Totsuka.

"It's okay, after all, when we first met, almost everyone thought I was a girl..."

After saying that, a hint of shyness flashed across Totsuka Saika's face.

It seemed that this was quite embarrassing for him.

"I think God played a pretty big joke when He created you!"

Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly said something nonsensical with a serious expression.

"Eh?"

"It's nothing, I was just acting crazy. Please forget what I just said."

"By the way, why did Totsuka-san come to watch us play basketball all by himself?"

Looking at Totsuka Saika, who was all alone in front of him, Hikigaya Hachiman was completely baffled.

The location that I and the timber pedestal chose was very remote.

If Totsuka Saika hadn't intentionally come here, she would never have reached this place.

"Actually, I'm the captain of our school's tennis team..."

When asked about the reason by Hachiman Hikigaya, Saika Totsuka seemed a little embarrassed.

"Because the third-year students are about to enter higher grades, the tennis club's current strength..."

At this point, a hint of disappointment flashed across Totsuka Ayaka's face.

Last year, the Soubu High School tennis team won third place in the county-level competition. However, after he became the captain this year, the team's strength has rapidly declined, and last month they didn't even qualify for the district-level competition.

Shaking her head to shake off the shadow of failure, Totsuka Saika looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with a hint of anticipation on her face.

"I just watched you play tennis, Hachiman, and you're amazing! So, could you please join the tennis club?"

"Huh?!" x2

Upon hearing Totsuka Saika's request, Hikigaya Hachiman and Zaimokuza Yoshiteru both exclaimed in surprise.

"Is there anything strange?"

Seeing the surprised looks on the two people in front of her, Totsuka Saika couldn't understand why they were reacting this way.

"No, no, no, are you sure you're not joking? You're letting this guy play tennis?"

Before Hachiman Hikigaya could speak, Zaimokuza next to him was already clutching his stomach and laughing.

Let's imagine.

Under the bright sunshine, amidst the cheers of the crowd, Hachiman Hikigaya slowly walked onto the court, revealing his deadpan eyes, and then began to sweat and unleash his youthful energy on the field...

"puff...."

Timber couldn't hold it in any longer, so he lay down on the ground and started rolling around.

"Hey!"

Seeing Zaimokuza rolling around in front of him and Totsuka Saika without any regard for his image, Hachiman Hikigaya's forehead creased with a swastika.

If Totsuka Saika hadn't been right in front of him, he would have definitely given this guy another set of stretching exercises.

"Sorry, Totsuka-san, I already have a club."

Although looking at Totsuka Saika's face, Hikigaya Hachiman really couldn't bear to refuse her request.

Unfortunately, Hachiman Hikigaya had no intention of spending his time on tennis.

And if he were to defect from the Service Club, Shizuka Hiratsuka and Yukinoshita would definitely kill him, right?
