Chapter 57 The Rise and Fall of the King

After school, under the scorching sun.

A crowd had gathered beside the tennis court.

Many members of the sports clubs had come to watch the commotion.

Now,

it had been half an hour since Asakura Yuu joined the tennis club and began his reign.

On the school’s anonymous forum, someone had started a live post, summarizing the situation as follows……

[The scum from class 2F is acting arrogantly on the tennis court.]

[The embodiment of unspoken desires is closing in on the hearts of the female students.]

[The despicable guy is crushing half of the tennis club members.]

[Asakura-san is dominating the entire court.]

[Asakura-sama is receiving cheers from the audience.]

[The supreme tennis king, Asakura Yuu, will arrive at his loyal Makoto’s tennis club today.]

Of course, the above text had been heavily edited and beautified.

In reality, many students on the anonymous forum were frantically posting, and as for their gender, it was obvious – 100% male.

The female students of Soubu High School rarely badmouthed Asakura Yuu, as people always had a glimmer of hope…… Asakura-kun still hadn’t dated any girl, despite hanging out with Yumiko Miura and Yui Yuigahama every day, and even the recently joined Yukino Yukinoshita, but he remained single.

In summary: I still have a chance, the advantage is mine!

Perhaps when Asakura Yuu announces that he’s dating someone, these female fans will finally turn against him?

If you can’t have it, destroy it… this phrase is perfectly reasonable in this case!

“It feels like it’s gotten a bit out of hand.”

Hachiman Hikigaya stood in the corner, watching Asakura Yuu and Yukino Yukinoshita on the tennis court.

Although it was all his fault.

‘And why did Asakura have to say such harsh words…’

Hachiman recalled Asakura Yuu’s opening statement from half an hour ago…… [My friend wants to join the tennis club today, but I’m not too confident in the club’s strength.

You all should know that joining a relatively weak sports club might lead to being looked down upon by other clubs.

So, let’s have a match, just for fun, don’t take it too seriously.]

If only it had stopped there.

He added another sentence…… [I support a round-robin tournament, since with your level, as classmates and underclassmen, you probably won’t be able to pose a threat to me.]

‘This is totally a provocation. Asakura actually said something so insensitive, it’s the first time I’ve seen him like this.’ Hachiman Hikigaya thought to himself.

According to Asakura Yuu’s way of handling things, it wasn’t reasonable for him to make such a provocative statement.

There must be some unknown inside story… probably related to that Totsuka-san.

‘You’re using me as a tool, and you didn’t even notify me in advance.’ Hachiman Hikigaya’s gaze swept around, finding that his expectations were spot on – the tennis club members were all looking at him with hostility, treating him as Asakura Yuu’s companion.

‘Later, I’ll probably have to team up with Totsuka-san and become the hero, right?’

That was the plan they had agreed on.

After Asakura Yuu and Yukino Yukinoshita crushed the other tennis club members, Saika Totsuka and Hachiman Hikigaya would take the stage, win the match, and gain the respect of the club members.

This way, Hachiman Hikigaya could smoothly blend into the tennis club, and later, he could choose to be a ghost member or not join at all.

‘…I’m really not used to this, being suddenly asked to play doubles and all.’ Hachiman Hikigaya usually practiced alone in his physical education class, and occasionally with Asakura Yuu and Koyomi Araragi – his tennis skills were decent, but not particularly good.

Especially doubles!

He had hardly ever played it.

However, with Asakura Yuu and Yukino Yukinoshita going easy on them, it didn’t seem like they would lose easily?

On the court.

“The 8h game has ended, Asakura’s team wins.”

Two more tennis club members had been defeated, having only won 2 games in the 8 rounds – this was already the third match.

The previous 2 matches had ended with Asakura Yuu and Yukino crushing their opponents.

“Is there anyone else? If it’s just this level, then it seems like the tennis club doesn’t have much of a purpose. We’re just a bunch of outsiders, and we’re still able to crush you – it’s hard to imagine what the point of having a tennis club is?” Asakura Yuu said to the tennis club members, who were directing hostile glares at him.

Then, he looked at Hachiman and Saika Totsuka, passing them a glance that meant… it’s your turn to shine!

Hachiman Hikigaya took a few steps forward, drawing the attention of the onlookers, and played along: “Asakura, that’s going too far! The tennis club members have been practicing hard every day, and even if they’re not the strongest, sports aren’t just about strength! Having fun is important too!”

“I won’t let you keep going on like this! So, I’ll beat you! Let you taste the bitterness of defeat!!”

Asakura Yuu raised an eyebrow, his expression frozen in surprise.

Hachiman, has anyone ever told you that your acting skills are terrible?

Too over-the-top, just like a school play.

In this situation, the tennis club members and the onlookers…

“Hikigaya-senpai! Go for it!!”

“Totsuka-bucho!! Get revenge for us!!”

“Don’t give up! Don’t yield to someone like him!”

Hmm, they don’t seem to have noticed anything out of the ordinary?

They’re all almost adults, and they’re still so childish?

Can’t they just mature a bit?

And, to the one who called me scum, you just wait!

Asakura Yuu glared at one of the male students watching from the sidelines.

“Asakura-bu, stop drawing attention to yourself.” Yukino Yukinoshita, supporting her knee, panted slightly, with a few drops of sweat falling from her forehead to the ground.

Her physical stamina wasn’t good, although she had excellent athletic ability, she couldn’t withstand prolonged exercise.

“Bucho, do you want to step down and let Yui take over?”

Asakura Yuu expressed his concern.

Yukino Yukinoshita initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Yui Yuigahama’s expectant expression as she watched from the sidelines, she changed her mind: “Okay.”

The personnel switch was completed quickly.

The final round of the tennis match began.

The tennis club felt that this was a match that symbolized their pride, and the onlookers’ drama was also on the tennis club’s side.

Among them were former sports club members who had been bullied by Asakura Yuu… Asakura Yuu often went to sports clubs with his popular friends last year, causing trouble and offending many people.

His athletic talent was exceptional, and he could pick up things in just a few days.

It was a very discouraging thing: no matter how hard you practiced for months or even years, you still couldn’t compare to a genius who had only trained for a few days.

It was enough to make anyone feel defeated.

In short, the resentment had been building up for a long time.

No wonder the anonymous forum was always full of people who looked down on Asakura Yuu, and even when they scolded him, they didn’t use abbreviations like [A-something], but directly used his full name.

“Doubles 4th match, one-set system, first game first round, please enter the court.”

The tennis club member in charge of judging gestured for the two teams to enter the court.

Asakura Yuu and Yui Yuigahama stood on one side, looking over at Hachiman and Saika Totsuka on the other.

‘Even if I’m going to lose, I don’t want to go down without a fight, that’s not my style.’

Asakura Yuu thought to himself, a smile spreading across his face that was laced with a sense of danger.

On the other side, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a chill run down his spine.

This wasn’t looking good.

He was well aware of Asakura Yuu’s personality – the guy hated losing and would do everything in his power to avoid it, crushing his opponents with overwhelming force…

Hachiman couldn’t help but swallow hard.

‘Don’t mess with me, okay? We agreed to put on a show, didn’t we?!’
