Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

"Is he hiding out of fear? Hahaha, that's really embarrassing, don't you think, Hayase?"

A high school student put his arm around the neck of the person next to him and made a joke.

"Huh? Why have you guys been acting so weird these past two days? Especially today, you didn't even want to watch the game. Aren't you curious about what that middle school kid looked like when he got defeated?"

The three shook their heads.

If possible, please let them run, thank you!

Others also pointed at the three of them and said that they were weird and a joke, and that you wouldn’t want to watch the game even if you had experienced it.

Beads of sweat appeared on the three men's foreheads. They just hoped that the middle school student wouldn't notice them.

Coach Saito, who had been keeping an eye on Long Ge's movements in the monitoring room, was getting anxious as he saw that the game was about to begin but she hadn't come out of the dormitory yet.

How can this kid be so careless? Doesn’t he know there’s a competition today?

It shouldn't be, but the possibility cannot be ruled out. He picked up a loudspeaker and ran out.

"Bang!"

There was a crisp sound of knocking on the door.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Coach Saito came out with his head covered and holding a loud speaker.

"Um, Irie, you guys are a little familiar with Echizen, give her a call. She might not know there's a match today. No one probably informed her yesterday."

what?

It turns out that I wasn't preparing, I just didn't know!

"call out--"

"Wuhu~ It's fun! Hey? What are you all doing here? There are so many people, it's so lively!"

Long Ge appeared on the stage in front of everyone's surprised gazes, riding the electric balance bike borrowed from Zhongdao.

Rujiang, who was about to call Long Ge, was a little shocked to see Long Ge suddenly appear.

"Echizen? Why are you here? No, why are you here just now?"

Long Ge, who had no idea of the situation, jumped off the balance bike and put his hands on his hips.

"I just came out and ran into Tanejima-senpai. He told me to hurry to the main court because there are so many people! Whose game is it today?"

Long Ge looked at the main stadium where almost half of the high school students from the training camp had come.

"Why didn't anyone tell me? I got up so early to get the best seat. You guys are so mean! But Senior Tanejima was really kind enough to lend me his balance bike, hehe."

"Take a good look at whose game this is."

Ghost Boss gestured to Long Ge to look at the monitor.

It was clearly written that Ryuka Echizen vs. Kenta Saotome.

Long Ge rubbed her eyes uncertainly. Was she seeing things?

Pointing at the name on the monitor, "Hey. Irie-san, ghost boss, there's someone in the training camp with the same name as me."

"There's only one person named Echizen in this training camp."

so...

Long Ge, who was originally uncertain, covered his mouth in surprise when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth could not be lowered.

I was so excited that I forgot to hide myself, like a child who got a new toy.

She didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so she won't be polite.

She couldn't guarantee what the training camp would be like afterwards.

"If you don't go on, your preliminary round will be forfeited."

Irie kindly reminded.

"Ah! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Someone lend me a racket, please!"

Long Ge couldn't wait any longer. He had been in the training camp for five days, and apart from acting out a play with senior Rujiang yesterday, he hadn't had a proper game yet.

"I thought I would have to wait a long time for the competition. Thank you so much, Boss Ghost, for speaking up for me. I'm so lucky that the competition can be held so soon. I've been bored to death these past few days."

Long Ge stepped onto the court.

"Next, Echizen."

Zhongdao threw a racket at Longge.

"Thanks, Tanejima-san, that's been a big help."

The left hand lightly catches the racket, which rotates on the left wrist, is thrown into the air and then caught steadily by the right hand.

"Knew it."

Tanejima showed an expression of surprise.

People usually use their dominant hand to receive things.

Long Ge subconsciously caught the racket with his left hand. It takes a lot of skill to play with the racket with his left hand.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I won't let you wait in vain."
