Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

Totsuka Ayaka lowered her head.

"Then we should be able to use the court too, right?"

Yumiko Miura continued to ask back.

"But……"

Totsuka Ayaka looked at Nantenjin somewhat at a loss.

"Sorry! The court was borrowed by Totsuka Ayaka, so no one else can use it!"

Upon seeing this, Nan Tianren immediately stepped forward and protected Totsuka Aya behind him.

"Huh? So what? Aren't you two non-tennis club members using it too?"

Yumiko Miura stepped forward and pointed at Nan Tianren's chest and asked.

"We are assisting Totsuka in practice. We can be considered as outsourced staff of the tennis club."

Nan Tianren slapped Miura Yumiko's hand away and argued with her.

"What the hell are you talking about? That's disgusting!"

Yumiko Miura completely ignored the other party's explanation and went straight to scold Nan Tianren.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited yet!"

Hayato Hayama quickly pretended to be a good guy and jumped out to smooth things over:

"It would be more fun for everyone to play tennis together, wouldn't it be better that way?"

"Huh! Everyone?"

Nan Tianren immediately mocked upon seeing this:

"The 'everyone' you're talking about doesn't mean the 'everyone' in 'Why does everyone have it, but my Zi Han doesn't'?"

"Ah, no, I didn't mean that. I apologize first. Sorry."

After being scolded by Nan Tianren, even the "good guy" Ye Sanyun became panicked.

"Hey~ Hayato~ I want to play tennis!"

Yumiko Miura shook Hayato Hayama's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Hmm...ah! How about this, let's let the non-tennis club members compete against each other. The winner can use the tennis court during lunch break in the future, and of course, they have to practice with Totsuka. Practicing with someone who is more skilled will be more helpful to Totsuka, and everyone will be happy. How do you say that?"

Taking advantage of the brief pause when Miura Yumiko was talking, Hayato Hagiwara racked his brains to come up with a solution that he thought would satisfy both parties, but—

"No! You're dreaming!"

Nan Tianren immediately opened his mouth to refute:

"We were originally allowed to use the tennis court, but in this gambling game, we were only allowed to use the tennis court after winning the game, while you were not allowed to use the tennis court in the first place, and you won't suffer any loss even if you lose. You are thinking too well, classmate Hayato Hayato!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Hayato Hayama was forced back by Nan Tianren's momentum.

"It's simple. Our school's tennis club is very weak and can't recruit new blood. Totsuka Ayaka is also worried about this."

Nan Tianren spoke slowly.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"Hayama Hayato! If you lose! Quit the soccer club and join the tennis club!"

"No! Everyone in the football club still needs me. Can you please change your request?"

"No! That's all I ask! Of course, no one here is forcing you to participate in this game. If you can't afford to lose, you can just take these people behind you and leave!"

"Playing tennis? That sounds like fun!"

Yumiko Miura on the side suddenly looked at Hayato Hayama with shining eyes. After all, even if she failed in this game, she would not be the one who had to pay the price.

When the people gathered behind Hayato Hayama heard that a competition was going to take place, they all became excited as if they had nothing to do with it and wanted to watch the fun.

Only Hayato Hayama felt embarrassed, as if he was being roasted on the fire, when faced with the request made by Nan Tianren.

"I know! This game! I accept it!"

Hayato Hayama gritted his teeth and had to bite the bullet and challenge Nan Tianren. After all, if he chose to retreat here, his status in the class would probably plummet immediately and he would be worse than a livestock.

"Mr. Kadokura Yudai! Could you please preside over this gambling game to ensure fairness?"

Nan Tianren suddenly turned his head to the side and shouted towards the big tree outside the tennis court.

"First! Never act on impulse!

Second! Never miss any bad thing!

Third! Absolutely fair and beautiful host!

[Gambler] Host No. 16! Kadokura Yudai! Come to see me! "

Kadokura Yudai jumped down from the tree and came to the center of the tennis court:

"The next thing to go is a tennis match between Nan Tianren and Hayama Hayato! If Nan Tianren wins, then Hayama Hayato will have to quit the football club and join the tennis club. If Hayama Hayato wins, then Nan Tianren will have to give up the tennis court and allow Hayama Hayato and his companions to use the tennis court during lunch break! If both sides have no objection, I will declare the match started!"

"Is it okay? Totsuka Ayaka-san, after all, you worked hard to borrow this tennis court from the school."

Nan Tianren turned his head and asked Totsuka Ayaka behind him.

"It's okay, Nantian-san, I believe you!"

Totsuka Ayaka nodded towards Nantenjin.

"Oil Shrimp! This way, I have a reason not to lose!"

After receiving encouragement from Totsuka Ayaka, Nan Tianren suddenly felt full of energy.

"Wait a minute! I have a problem with that!"

Miura Yumiko suddenly raised her hand and shouted at Kadokura Yu:

"Please allow me to participate in this tennis match! Is that ok, Mr. Referee?"

"Mr. Referee...Okay! I agree! Let's change this tennis match to mixed doubles!"

Kadokura Yudai said seriously after a brief thought.

"I protest! I invited you to be the host! It's really irresponsible of you to do this."

Nan Tianren raised his hand in protest.

"The protest is invalid! This classmate Miura Yumiko is a partner of Hayama Hayato, and the outsourced members of the tennis club are you and Yukinoshita Yukino, so I think mixed doubles will be fairer!"

Kadokura Yudai then began to explain.

"Yukinoshita Yukino! What do you mean?"

Nan Tianren turned his head and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in the distance.

"In that case, I'll just have to accompany you to the end. Wait for me, I'll go change into my sportswear."

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was still wearing her school uniform, immediately ran to the changing room.

Soon, the news of the upcoming match on the tennis court spread like wildfire, and the tennis court located in the corner of the campus was packed with people, with the number of people on the scene far exceeding two hundred.

Most of them are friends and supporters of Hayato Hayama, and the majority are first-year students, but there are also some second- and third-year students.

"Hayato! Come on! Hayato! Come on!"

The audience supported Ye Shan with cheers and even did the wave dance, as if they were at a concert of a popular idol.

Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura walked onto the court with confidence and pride.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who changed into a pink sportswear, also came to the other side of the court with Nan Tianren.

"Without further ado, let's get started. Hayato Hayama, do you choose heads or tails?"

Nan Tianren asked Hayato Hayama while spinning his tennis racket.

In a tennis match, one player often spins the racket while the other player guesses whether the English letters on the end of the grip will be facing up or down when the racket stops spinning and falls to the ground to decide who will serve.

"front!"

The result was consistent with what Hayato Hayama had guessed, and Hayato Hayama's side served first.

Standing outside the serving line, Yumiko Miura kept throwing the ball to the ground and then catching it again.

"By the way, when I was in junior high school, I was a full member of the tennis club and even represented the county in the national tournament! Yukinoshita-san? Did I call you the right name? I'll be frank with you, I won't show any mercy! If you don't want your face to get hurt, I advise you to give up right away!"

Yumiko Miura showed a arrogant smile, threw the tennis ball in her hand high up, and hit it directly towards Yukinoshita Yukino on the opposite side.

——It’s an outspin serve!

The tennis ball whizzed through the air, hit the ground, and bounced quickly, heading towards the profile of Yukinoshita Yukino.

"You underestimate me!"

Yukinoshita Yukino took a step forward and, before the ball bounced, she hit the ball directly back to Miura Yumiko.

——It’s a half volley!

"Fifteen to zero!"

The tennis ball landed at Yumiko Miura's feet, bounced back and passed between her legs.

"You probably don't know yet? I'm actually pretty good at playing tennis too!"

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her racket and pointed it at Miura Yumiko, her eyes as cold as if she was looking at a stink bug.

Miura Yumiko took a step back and glared back with a mixture of fear and hostility.

"Come again!"

Yumiko Miura put aside her contempt for Yukinoshita Yukino and started to give it her all.

After Yukinoshita Yukino hit the tennis ball she served for the second time, Miura Yumiko turned around and hit the ball to Nantenjin on the same side.

Before the tennis ball hit the ground, Nan Tianren, who was near the net, swung his arms vigorously at the moment when his center of gravity shifted from his right foot to his left foot, and hit the ball to Hayato Hayama who was near the net on the opposite side.

——What? This ball doesn’t look like a big deal.

Thinking this, Hayato Hayama wanted to swing the racket and hit the tennis ball back towards Nan Tianren.

But just when the racket and the tennis ball were about to touch, the tennis ball hit back by Nan Tianren suddenly changed its trajectory and slipped away from under Hayama Hayato's racket.
