In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

"I...I'm giving up the match."

"You should have done this earlier."

Ye Xing wore a kind smile, but considering the two tennis balls embedded in the fence and the racket with the net broken, no one present would think he was joking.

"Since you've lost, then prepare to accept the punishment."

Ye Xing dropped the racket in his hand, walked slowly to Miura Yumiko, and looked down at her.

Yumiko Miura, who has always been very proud and never looked up to anyone, felt incredibly insignificant at this moment.

"Miura-san."

Upon hearing Ye Xing's voice, Miura Yumiko nodded in response instinctively.

"Yes..."

"I heard from Yuihama that you wrote me a letter?"

"Yes..."

At this point, Miura Yumiko blushed and tried to remain calm as she explained.

"I just wanted to get to know you, that's all. It's not a letter of confession...please...please don't misunderstand."

"I know that."

Ye Xing nodded noncommittally, then smiled.

"Do you know why I threw your letter in the trash without even reading it?"

Upon hearing this, Yumiko Miura couldn't help but frown slightly.

She has a proud personality and is very concerned about saving face.

Being told such a shameful thing so bluntly in front of her friends was hard for the proud Miura Yumiko to accept.

Before Miura Yumiko could speak, Yohoshi whispered.

"You asked Yui Yuigahama to deliver the letter, not because you wanted to get to know me, nor because you wanted to join our club."

"Perhaps you want to say that these are all your thoughts."

"But in reality, you have no interest in me as a person or in the Superpower Society itself."

"You did this simply because I am the most watched person in Soubu High School, and the Superpower Club is the most watched club."

"You just think that if you can act with us, you will get more attention."

"Miura-kun..."

Yoru looked directly into Miura Yumiko's eyes and said each word with a smile.

"You're such a weakling."

Upon hearing this, not only Yumiko Miura's expression changed.

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing next to the field, had a strange look in her eyes.

It wasn't that she disagreed with Yohoshi's assessment of Miura Yumiko.

exactly the opposite.

It's because Yukino Yukinoshita's view of people like Yumiko Miura is exactly the same as Yohoshi's.

On the surface, he appears to be a prominent figure at school and a core member of his class.

Actually...

He's just someone who needs attention to cover up his own mediocrity and weakness.

The more attention these people crave, the more it reflects their profound lack of self-identity.

Yukino never expected that Yohoshi, who always disagreed with her, would have the same opinion as her on people like Miura Yumiko.

It seems...

The relationship between myself and the other party was not as irreconcilable as I had originally imagined.

"Okay, it's time for you to leave."

Ye Xing waved his hand and stood up.

Hayato Hayama frowned slightly and hesitated.

"Um... Yohoshi-san, aren't you going a bit too far? Miura-san just wanted to get to know you, that's not it..."

"Eh?"

Yoru looked at Hayama Hayato with a curious expression, as if he had just noticed him.

"who are you?"

Hayato Hayama paused for a moment, then forced a smile.

"Didn't I just introduce myself...? My name is Hayama Jun..."

Before Hayama Hayato could finish speaking, Yohoshi delivered a smooth combo.

"I don't know him, I'm not interested, it doesn't matter."

Hayato Hayama's personality can be summed up in one word.

Good people.

A truly good person.

Yosei had absolutely no interest in Hayato Hayama, the ace of the soccer club, who had a sunny and cheerful personality.

The other person's personality was so good that he found it incredibly boring.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Yukino Yukinoshita began to take over the game.

She stood in front of Miura Yumiko and the others, speaking calmly.

"Since we have already lost, please leave as soon as possible and do not disturb our practice."

A girl wearing glasses walked over and helped Miura Yumiko, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet, saying with concern.

"Are you alright, Yumiko?"

Yumiko Miura pushed the other person's hand away and gritted her teeth to stand up on her own.

"Mind your own business, I'm fine!"

Clearly, Yoru's assessment of weakness deeply stung Miura Yumiko's heart.

A famous philosopher once said...

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Deep down, Yumiko Miura knew that she was actually a very weak person who needed attention from others.

Therefore, Ye Xing's fair assessment led to such an excellent defense-breaking effect.

.......

After Miura Yumiko and the others left, Yohoshi waved to Totsuka Saika, who was still sitting in the referee's seat.

"It's your turn, Totsuka-kun."

At this point, Yui Yuigahama and the others finally understood.

Before it began, Ye Xing said something about a cruel trial for the soul...

So this isn't just chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), it's a real trial!?

Hina Amano knew Yosei's strength best, and at this moment, she couldn't help but show a worried expression.

"Totsuka-kun, how about..."

Before Amano Hina could finish speaking, Totsuka Saika climbed down from the high chair, holding a tennis racket, and stood at the other end of the court.

He gripped the racket handle with both hands, his face showing a resolute expression as if he were facing certain death, and slowly began to speak.

"I understand, Night Star. Please guide me!"

"very good."

Night Star nodded in satisfaction.

"Totsuka-kun, I sense your resolve! Catch the ball!"

"Ok!"

.......

Two hours later.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky and Totsuka Saika lying on the ground, looking like she had just survived a disaster, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes showed a rare expression of admiration.

She thought to herself that although Totsuka-san looked gentle and weak, even like a petite and cute girl, she never expected her to have such a strong determination.

At first, Ye Xing only used simple tennis moves, such as suddenly increasing the force in a certain round.

It could be said that this was an ordinary tennis practice session.

For Totsuka Saika, this was a death tennis match that could happen at any moment, and could brush past her ear at any second.

Under such immense pressure, his striking movements and footwork became completely distorted.

However, the effects of the exercise are also quite remarkable.

From initial helplessness to, after two hours, Totsuka Saika had begun to adapt to the pressure.

He even occasionally tried to receive Night Star's incredibly powerful straight shots with his racket.

Of course, the result was that they didn't catch it.

But this reaction proves that Totsuka Saika has gradually adapted to this intensity.

He remained calm even when surrounded by the imminent danger of life and death.

When the competition starts, I naturally won't be nervous.

only...

Yukino Yukinoshita walked to Yohoshi's side and said in a calm tone.
