The strongest high school student in Japan

"Since we might lose anyway, why not show off first..." Mogami Jun raised his head and looked at Senior Umemiya across from him, "Even if I lose the game, I can't lose my ambition!"

"Well, I like people with ambition." Umemiya Xia Fei stopped laughing, then looked at Mogami Jun seriously, "Then let's get started!"

Then, without saying anything more, she simply tossed the tennis ball in her hand and swung it hard with the racket.

Wow, so fast!

The tennis ball was so fast that it seemed to leave a white mark in the air. Mogami Jun immediately felt the pressure coming towards him.

Even more powerful than Asana just now.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared. He rushed directly to the place where the ball landed, and then swung his racket back.

However, perhaps because he used too much force, the tennis ball flew high into the air and then fell heavily to the ground - out of bounds.

0:15, it was so ruthless from the beginning.

But it’s okay, keep going!

Umemiya Natsuhime showed no joy or anger, nor did she mock Mogami Jun again. She devoted herself to the game and continued to serve.

"boom!"

The sound of hitting the ball rang out from the field one after another.

Umemiya Natsuki was not bragging, her level was indeed far superior to Mogami Jun's, and she had an overwhelming advantage. Perhaps this could not even be called a duel. She swung her racket and hit one big diagonal line after another, while Mogami Jun could only run at full speed and barely fight back against the opponent's attack.

However, Umemiya Natsuki was always able to easily deal with his return ball and hit it to the other side, continuing to motivate Mogami Jun to run.

Yes, the outcome seemed clear from the beginning.

But so what?

Jun Mogami didn't say anything. He clenched his teeth, and all his attention was focused on the tennis ball in the air. He ran again and again. In the narrow court, he ran back and forth tirelessly, swinging the racket non-stop. Even if his hands were sore, he still tried his best to return the ball, as if this was the meaning of his existence in the world.

He didn't pay attention to the score, but even if he didn't, he knew that the score was definitely overwhelmingly unfavorable to him.

Umemiya Natsuki's long-distance mobilization style of play is very physically demanding, and because every ball must be fought for, Mogami Jun has to save every ball to the maximum extent possible, thus accelerating the consumption of his own physical energy, much faster than usual.

His feet were numb, his body was sweating as if he had just taken a shower, and he was destined to lose...but so what?

He is not afraid of losing. Even if he loses, he should lose like Jun Mogami.

And he knew... there were other people watching.

Takasaki Mayu was indeed watching.

She had been staring at Jun Mogami's running figure, sometimes nervous and sometimes worried. The loss and anger she had just felt had disappeared, and the young man had already touched her heart.

As the game progressed, she noticed that Jun Mogami had reached the limit of his physical strength. She wanted to call for a timeout several times, but she couldn't.

Because she knew that Jun Mogami would definitely not allow her to do so.

She could only pray silently in her heart that the game would end quickly.

Time passed so slowly, perhaps after a century, the game finally came to an end.

But it didn't take long because the score was completely overwhelming.

Umemiya Natsuki stopped and looked silently at Mogami Jun opposite her.

She was sweating a lot, but it looked like she was still quite relaxed.

But it was different for Jun Mogami. His whole body was red, his skin seemed to be burning, he was sweating profusely, his legs were weak, he was half-bent over, leaning on the ground with his racket, and he seemed to be shaky.

I'm exhausted.

But he was not disappointed. Although the score was extremely ugly, he held on to the end.

He accomplished his goal.

Princess Xia of Meigong nodded with appreciation.

"Mogami-kun, by layman's standards, you've done very well... much better than I thought. Your willpower is amazing. I'll grant you my approval." She said as she walked to the front of the net and looked at Mogami-jun leisurely, "How are you? Can you still walk? If you can, come and shake hands. You deserve it."

"Thank you...thank you for the compliment, senior." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly and answered while panting.

Then, he struggled to stand up, shakily, and wanted to go over to shake hands with the other person, but his feet seemed to be unable to move all of a sudden, as if he had lost control.

For a moment, he was on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, a figure quickly rushed to his side and supported his body.

"Yuzu-chan, thank you." Without even looking at Mogami Jun, he knew who it was.

"Stop talking so much and drink some water--" Zhenyou picked up the opened bottle of mineral water and handed it to Mogami Jun's mouth.

Jun Mogami gulped down a few big gulps and then let out a sigh of relief.

Although it is just ordinary mineral water, it is like sweet spring water at this moment.

comfortable...

"What do you think? I'm not a loser, am I..." He looked at Zhenyou and smiled.

"Well, you're not, no!" Mayu nodded, and then stroked his head, "Chun-chan, you're so dazzling!"

Then she turned around and looked at Umemiya Xia Fei in front of the net and glared at her.

"Who wants to shake hands with you? He needs to rest!"

"Huh? What? How did I become a villain without realizing it?" Looking at the angry and hateful eyes of Zhenyou, the originally calm and composed Umemiya Xia Fei hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it just an entertainment competition... Why are you looking at me like that..."

Then, she seemed to understand something, so she could only smile bitterly and sigh, "It's okay to be a villain, this is not bad..."

192, "Reconciliation"

The competition between Jun Mogami and Umemiya Natsuhi ended with Jun Mogami losing as expected.

For Jun Mogami, this result was not difficult to accept. After all, he had never studied tennis techniques, and losing to the higher-ranked Umemiya senior was not shameful. On the contrary, he had gritted his teeth and persevered until the last moment. Even if he lost, he had already tried his best.

At the end, Umemiya Natsuki also expressed her appreciation for Mogami Jun, and it was obvious that she also agreed with Mogami Jun's performance in the competition.

However, Zhenyou has a completely different idea.

At this moment, her heart was filled with hatred towards Concubine Xia of Meigong.

Although she knew in her heart that there would be winners and losers in a competition, she still couldn't help but hate the other party.

In her opinion, Umemiya Natsuki bullied both herself and Jun-chan at the same time, making both of them so embarrassed, which was really despicable.

She did not bother to conceal her hostility and stared at the other person hatefully.

However, there are more important things to do now.

At this moment, Jun Mogami was being supported by her. Because he was a little exhausted just now, his face was very pale. He felt a little better after drinking the water she gave him. However, Mayu was still very worried, afraid that he would cause trouble.

"Chun-chan, are you okay?" she asked cautiously.

"Ah, I'm fine. I've recovered." Mogami Jun took a few deep breaths to adjust his heartbeat, then looked at Zhenyou with a smile on his face, "Youchan, thank you! It's a rare occasion that you care about me like this."

"…We are friends, so it's okay for you to care about Chun-chan, right?" Zhenyou blushed a little, "Besides, Chun-chan has spent so much time and effort on me, so it's only natural for me to care about you, right?"

"It's really good that you are so sensible..." Jun Mogami nodded with a smile, then he shook his body with difficulty and stood up again.

"Look, losing a match in an unimportant place isn't a big deal, right?" After he stood firm, he said to Zhenyou, "As long as you do your best, there's nothing to regret."

"... Got it." Zhenyou nodded, "I'm sorry, Youchan lost her composure just now and caused trouble for everyone..."

Ah, finally all this hard work was not in vain... Jun Mogami suddenly felt relaxed.

The arrogant Zhenyou actually took the initiative to apologize to me, which is rare. It can be seen that she was really convinced by me.

Now, the sharp and piercing nature of Zhenyou has disappeared, leaving only concern and apology for him. She is as gentle as a little sister next door.

It's not the kind of cuteness that can be pretended in daily life, but real cuteness.

It seems that I am the only one in the world who can make her show this side of herself - at least so far, I am the only one.

When he thought of this, Jun Mogami suddenly felt a sense of smug satisfaction in his heart.

However, although it was very comfortable to be supported by Zhenyou, and although he enjoyed the intimate atmosphere between the two of them, but... now they were being watched by so many people, and he couldn't always stay with Zhenyou.

So it ended with regret.

"Okay, let's go over there," Mogami Jun said to Mayu, "Don't keep everyone waiting for too long."

"You still won't let me leave?" Zhenyou bit her lip.

"Isn't this nonsense? You came here and then left without saying anything. How embarrassing for me?" Mogami Jun answered firmly, "So even if it's for my happiness, please stay, okay?"

"Okay..." Mayu could only reluctantly agree to Mogami Jun's request, "Then in order to make Jun-chan happy, continue to follow everyone reluctantly."

"Well, Yuzu-chan is so nice!" Mogami Jun shook Shinyu's hand again, then took the lead and walked out of the venue.

Because of the excessive and strenuous exercise just now, his condition is still not very good. His legs seem to have become someone else's property, difficult to control, and every step he takes is shaky.

But he was in a very good mood, after all, he "cured" Zhenyou.

However, what greeted them were strange looks from other people.

The boys were fine. Although their eyes flickered and they looked a little teasing, they still came over to comfort the two of them. As for the girls from the girls' school, their expressions were a little ugly, and they even looked at Zhenyou with some hostility.

This is quite normal, they all stand on Asana's side. In their opinion, today should be the time for Mogami Jun and Asana to spend time together, but Mayu inexplicably interrupted and stole the limelight, rushing over to comfort Mogami Jun who lost the game, and taking Asana's place.

It would be strange not to be angry!

Of course, Asana herself seemed to be unaware of anything and walked up to the two men in a very normal manner, looking at Mogami Jun with concern on her face.

"Chun, are you feeling better? Take some rest."

"Thank you, I feel much better!" Mogami Jun replied gratefully, "Asana is so considerate... Thanks to you, everyone is so happy."

What he said was actually a double entendre. If someone else heard it, they would just think that Mogami Jun was simply complimenting her, but Asana could hear the hidden meaning behind it.

She looked at Mogami Jun again, then at Mayu who was walking beside him, and then she smiled, "Yeah! It would be best if everyone is happy!"

No one noticed that her cheerful smile contained a hint of reluctance.

As expected, no matter how open-minded you are, you will still feel a little unhappy when encountering such a situation.

But, what does it matter... Izumo Asana is not someone who would be stumped by such things. When she thought of this, she started to laugh again.

Although the game did not last long, after the turmoil just now, everyone's thoughts have changed differently.

The winner has no joy, and the loser is not depressed. The onlookers are not concerned about winning or losing, but about more subtle things.

Seeing everyone's mood suddenly become so low, Mogami Jun felt a little guilty. He knew that he was the one who was most responsible for spoiling everyone's fun.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to resolve the current embarrassment.

"Umemiya-senpai?" Mogami Jun broke the silence among the crowd, "What do you want to play next? I'm more than happy to accompany you."

"Come on, stop trying to be brave now and take a good rest. You are almost exhausted just now." Mei Gong Xia Fei replied him mercilessly, "From now on, you will be the audience and let your classmates have the chance to show off. They have been eager to try for a long time. Don't you want to give them any chance at all?"

Although her words were harsh, Mogami Jun could hear the concern behind Senior Umemiya, so he didn't insist any more.

"So what are we going to do next?" He looked at Shota Matsushima, who was organizing this event.

"Well..." Jun Mogami's question made Shota Matsushima feel a little embarrassed.

As the organizer of this event, although his original intention was to have a good time with the girls, in essence he still hoped that the people on his side could behave better and act like heroes in front of the girls.

The result was contrary to expectations. Theoretically speaking, the girls' school completely crushed their own school - fortunately, this was not a formal competition, it was just a face-saving thing.

However, "losing face" is already very uncomfortable.

The most distressing thing is that the captain they rely on the most has been defeated and is temporarily unable to play.

It seems that I can only fight with Okabe Fumiaki next...so what should I do next?

Because he had no idea, Shota Matsushima fell into hesitation.

"It seems that you have no plans now?" Meigong Xia Fei continued to ask.

"How about bowling?" Under the pressure from Umemiya Natsuhime, Matsushima Shouta was too lazy to think about it and asked hesitantly. "It's downstairs, we can go there now."

"Hahahaha..." Shota Matsushima's words caused the girls to laugh.

"Eh? Did I say something wrong?" Shota Matsushima was a little confused.

"As for bowling, we have no interest in it..." Aoki Yu shook his head, "We've never played it at school."

Shota Matsushima was a little confused at first, but he soon figured it out. These young ladies from girls' schools probably wouldn't like sports like bowling.

"Sorry, I haven't thought about it that much beforehand... So what do you want to play?" He smiled and asked shyly, "How about indoor baseball, or golf?"
