Fujiwara Chika grinned foolishly, trying to brush it off, and whistled.

"Very good, Chika, you did a good job."

He patted Qianhua on the shoulder, looking pleased.

"Eh?"

Fujiwara Chika was stunned for a moment, her cheeks blushing slightly.

Izumi-chan is so kind! Just like a brother's feelings for his sister!

I thought I was going to get scolded.

Her understanding was somewhat flawed; rather than being concerned about the girl's self-determination, Izumi Hasegawa was more concerned about something else entirely.

"Aren't they getting a little too close? Is Fujiwara-san and Hasegawa in that kind of relationship?"

"No, no, no, Hasegawa is clearly closer to that Takanashi."

Other students who noticed this scene saw something different.

The parties involved have ignored this.

They had a physical education class this morning and went to the playground.

The run is over.

Izumi Hasegawa sat down on a bench to the side.

"Huh...ha..."

Panting, Rikka sat down to rest.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, ruffling their bangs.

"The wind is so noisy today."

He couldn't help but sigh.

"I heard the sounds of battle carried on the wind; this must be a sign that a fierce battle is about to take place today."

Rikka Kotori chimed in.

Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "There will be battles, but they may not be intense."

20. Don't worry, it won't waste too much of your time.

Oh no! I said the wrong thing!

Rikka Takanashi bit her lip.

Wouldn't saying such a thing show that you doubt the capabilities of your allies?

This could damage our alliance!

"Cough cough cough, it seems I misheard."

The girl quickly changed her story.

"Ok?"

Hasegawa Izumi's ears suddenly twitched.

Footsteps came from not far away.

"Izumi-chan, Takanashi-kun, so you're here."

With a youthful smile, Fujiwara Chika, dressed in a white tracksuit, jogged over, her breasts rising and falling in a rather magnificent sight.

Did Qianhua Jiang really have such great resources?

He hadn't noticed this before, so he discovered it a little late.

But this is not important.

"Chika, is there something you need from us?"

He responded.

"Ah, it's nothing really. I just ran into Xiaoqi, and she asked me to tell you that the school has found someone in charge of the zoo, so you don't need to go there to take care of the animals starting today."

As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika sat on the bench next to her, her hands resting on the edge of the bench, a smile on her face.

"I see. It's time to say goodbye, earlier than I expected."

Hanase Izumi sighed softly.

Although we only spent twenty days together, I'm still a little reluctant to part with those adorable little guys.

However, there's nothing we can do about it. It's fine now that we have free time, but when times change in the future, we definitely won't be able to take care of it anymore.

It's better to hand it over to someone else sooner rather than later, so that the emotional bond doesn't grow too strong and it becomes even harder to part with it.

"Are we saying goodbye to the Chimera and the others? Well, their presence is still too dangerous; they need a dedicated trainer to properly train them."

Rikka Takanashi paused, then muttered to herself.

Unfortunately, they cannot exist as summoned creatures because the sage has no such desire, and she also faces the threat of the Holy Healer.

"It's okay, you can go see them anytime you want."

Fujiwara Chika noticed her expression and then spoke.

A relaxed tone and smile instantly changed the atmosphere.

"That's right! They didn't disappear into another dimension; we can summon them at any time."

Rikka Takanashi clenched her fists and stood up, looking excited.

By noon.

The three of them also went to the zoo to say goodbye to the animals one by one.

As the afternoon drew closer to the appointed time, the wind outside the window blew more and more fiercely, as if telling the story of some people's feelings.

Indeed, many people at the school were even more eager than Izumi Hasegawa to see the outcome of this battle.

Winning one duel can be considered good luck, but what about winning two duels?

If the other side succeeds, then the remaining gangs will be in grave danger.

The flames of war could break out on our heads at any moment.

The thought of being trampled underfoot by these guys from the mixed-use college filled them with a deep sense of humiliation.

"Ding~"

As soon as the bell rang, the teacher did not extend the class time and quickly left with the textbook.

In the classroom, everyone remained strangely still, as if waiting for someone to go first.

"Let's go, Rikka! Let's show them what true power is!"

Hanase Izumi stood up and waved her right hand.

"Let us shatter their delusions! We are invincible before us!"

Rokka immediately responded.

"Izumi-chan, I want to watch the game too!"

Fujiwara Chika reacted quickly, immediately running to the back of the classroom and leaving with them.

Afterwards, everyone in the classroom seemed to awaken from a state of icy stillness.

"Who do you think will win? I thought Hasegawa was just joking before, but I didn't expect him to actually beat the Go club. Maybe he was serious."

"What nonsense are you talking about! The tennis club captain won't be as easy to deal with as Kazuya. There's such a big difference in size between them, Hasegawa's physical abilities definitely can't keep up! That's a hard and fast rule."

"Don't speak so confidently, or you'll be proven wrong."

"Are you trying to undermine your own reputation? I don't believe Hasegawa can pull off a miracle."

"I'm off to join a club."

"You go first, I want to watch their match."

Opinions began to diverge, with many people already having high expectations for Hasegawa.

This is due to a strong admiration for the powerful.

After all, they haven't yet experienced each other's personal charm.

It happened during their conversation.

Izumi Hasegawa and the other two had also arrived downstairs and were preparing to change their shoes.

Fujiwara Chika slipped her small feet, covered in white socks, into her school shoes. Once she was in them, the toes of the shoes touched the ground, making them fit her feet even better.

Rikka Takanashi was still fiddling with her Helios shoes.

To show respect, he wore sneakers today, so as to be more formal when stepping onto the tennis court.

A little while later, they arrived at the tennis court.

By this time, a crowd had already gathered outside the stadium fence, almost completely packed, as everyone wanted to secure a good spot to watch the game.

Compared to the number of spectators at the Go club match, the number of viewers this time has undoubtedly skyrocketed.

"Step aside."

Faced with such a noisy scene, Hasegawa Izumi shouted, his voice deep and powerful, instantly silencing everyone.

They realized that this was the person in question, so they made way for him at the intersection.

Led by him, the three stepped onto the tennis court.

"You're that Hasegawa? You look pretty ordinary, nothing special. I really didn't expect you to beat the Go club. Could it be that you really cheated like they said?"

A loud and powerful voice rang out, and a tall and strong figure with medium-length hair approached and stood in front of them, probably over 1.8 meters tall.

Compared to the two girls, who are both under 1.6 meters tall, they looked like tiny potatoes.

"You're the head of the tennis club?"

Hasegawa Izumi raised his gaze slightly, and despite being overwhelmed by the height and size of the other, he remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"You really are as arrogant as they say."

When Kawamura Kentaro saw that he didn't answer but asked a question instead, he wasn't annoyed. Instead, he looked interested.

"But I don't care whether you cheated or not. The point is, do you really want to fight me? Let me tell you first, my style is very tough. With your skinny arms and legs, if you get beaten to tears, I won't be responsible."

It's important to know that it's quite normal for a tennis ball to accidentally hit someone, so even without direct contact, it can still cause injury. This is different from the mental activity involved in playing Go.

"That's what I wanted to say too."

He smiled calmly.

He understands the saying "the playing field is a battlefield" very well.

"Also, I'll end this battle as soon as possible, so be careful."

That statement sounds like pure provocation!

"Ah."

Kentaro Kawamura, enraged, laughed coldly, clenched his fists, and said with a fierce look in his eyes:

"Don't worry, it won't waste your time!"

21. Have you ever heard of an outside spin serve?

Painting Department.

"Look, it's so lively over there! Are they about to fight?"

"Isn't that the tennis club? Isn't today the day that Hasegawa and the tennis club are going to have their battle?"

"Oh, it happened last week... It looks interesting, why don't we go check it out?"

"Let's forget about it. There are too many people there, and we can't possibly squeeze in. Besides, we have club activities to do."

Eriri sat in front of the easel, looking at a blank sheet of paper, holding up her paintbrush, pretending to want to paint.
