chapter 2 - First day at Hyotei!

Hiroshi was just heading to the tennis court for tennis practice after school when he knocked into someone. (guess who?)

"Itai!" he grumbled, noticing the person in front of him, he appologized. "Aa... sumi-masen!" He lifted up his head and search the other with any signs of unpleasant reactions, but failing to do which as the other was yawning loudly and not noticing the surrounding environment. (Yep! it's none other than Jirou)


Shaking his head at his bewilded encounter he ventures his way over to the tennis club room before taking one of his racket to join the others in the courts.

The moment he stroll in, he felt all eyes upon him. Feeling awkward, he adjusted his fringe such that it covered his eyes, hoping to be left alone by the others players in the court. He was about to join the other first year students at the side of the court doing the basics training when the Hyotei Regulars made their entrance.

All the regulars pass by without noticing him, which was good except for one exceptional member. This regualar member that was eyeing him with such hatred was none other than, Hiyoshi. Apparently, the latter was still hating Ryoma for defeating him at the Kantou competition previously.

However, not knowing the latter was previously defeated by his very own cousin, Ryoma, Hiroshi decided to ignore the latter.

The regulars were playing in court whereas the first year were picking up the tennis balls, when Hiroshi heard snickerings from behind. He then felt one of the first year poking him and pointing a finger above him. Acting of impulse, he glanced up above his head and notice a ball heading towards him with speed. Using his instincts, he backed off a few steps as he surveyed the surrounding for the person responsible of this act. Sensing Hiyoshi with a smug look plastered on his face, he smirked a famous smirk of Echizen Ryoma, but was gone in a flash.

All the regulars were looking at the sight interestingly, as if waiting for any drastical matters to occur. The other seniors were snickering at him and some were looking at him with pity in their eyes. The first years were holding their breath waiting for the ball to hit him, being "good-natured" by nature he decided to do his team mates a favour by helping them to return the serve.

With his reflex, he picked up his racket by his left hand and send the ball smashing back in Hiyoshi direction, not only the ball had managed to hit the empty side of the court and scores but at the same time, landed hard on top of Jirou's head, knocking him awake.

As he had managed to get the ball pass Hiyoshi with such high speed and skillful techniques, it had left almost every member of the tennis club gaping at him with their jaws hanging and widening eyes. Even the Regulars pause in their practice to look at him. Jirou stared at the regulars next to him and wonder about what had happened, when Hiyoshi send another ball flying towards Hiroshi. This time, Hiroshi left the members standing still without the ability to move by sending the ball back towards Hiyoshi with his back facing the net.


The court were engulfed in silence, Jirou was looking at the sight with interests before Atobe broke the dreadful silence.

"What's your name?" Atobe asked Hiroshi as he beckons Hiyoshi to behave.

"Hiroshi!" he answered and smirked before he added in "Echizen". There was more silence before he smile his trademark smile and answered confidently, "My name is Echizen Hiroshi! It's a pleasure meeting you, buchou!"

At the mention of "Echizen", Hiyoshi eyes widen as he stared at Hiyoshi. All the other members sucked in their breaths and gasps, with the exception of Jirou looking interestingly at Hiroshi, Atobe who is looking calm, and Kabaji with a serene reaction as usual.
