~~~~~on with the story~~~~

a/n: i'm not very good at writing match scene..so when i reach certain parts i'm going to skip the details.

After 15 minutes of warming up, the game started as Jirou serve. Everyone was looking towards Hiroshi expecting him to do something whereas he surprise them by just standing his ground without doing anything. As soon as Oshitari returned the serve, Jirou return the ball just as easily while Hiroshi stood observing the scenery.

Hiyoshi is standing on the side line watching the match seriously, frowning as he watch Hiroshi's move.

"Ne, Atobe are you sure about this?" Shishido asked after observing the duo. Before Atobe could reply, Otori butted in " yeah... look at them ... they show no signs of playing doubles."

"it seems to me that Jirou's the one returning all the balls whereas Hiroshi is just watching without doing anything." Shishido added after a pregnant pause.

Atobe said nothing but smirked, Shishido was about to make another comment when Hiyoshi said "shut up and watch!"

Although Atobe didn't comment, he couldn't help but felt glad about the fact that someone aside from him did notice the reason behind Hiroshi's actions.Shishido and Otori shared a look before shaking their head in defeat and face the court wondering about the match in progress. Before they knew what happen, Hiroshi was up in the sky sending a smash towards Oshitari and Gakuto.

"Yuushi!" Gakuto signalled.

Automatically, Oshitari returned the smash with "Higuma Otoshi" easily.

Jirou was about to return the serve when Hiroshi called out "Jirou-sempai, there's no need to return it!"

"Eh?" Jirou was about to question Hiroshi when the referee shouted "OUT!"

Everyone watching the match was surprised and stunned, not admitting defeat Oshitari tried again however irregardless of the various attempts, the results still remains the same.

"Ne Oshitari-sempai, stop feeding me with lob. Irregardless of the attempts, your 'Higuma Otoshi' would still failed."

Being distracted, Oshitari neglected the fact that Jirou was still on the court. Before he knew it, it was match point.

"Service ace!" came the voice of the referee.

"Game set, won by Hiroshi, Jirou pair!" announced the referee "6 games to 4"

As the match ended, everyone gathered around Jirou and Hiroshi. Shishido couldn't help but asked out of curiousity "How did you managed to do that?" turning towards Oshitari, he said " How can you let a freshman defeat you?"

Looking at his two seniors, Hiroshi could only shrugged and answered "afterall, i don't live with Echizen Ryoma for nothing!" After which, he turned and head for the cafeteria.

"Huh?" Both Oshitari and Shishido had a perplex expression on their face.

"Che, ne sempai! Just look at the net and you'll understand!" Hiyoshi answered and stalked off the court.

"Net? what's so special about the net?" Both of them asked in unison.

Feeling experated, Jirou answered "Hiroshi was aiming towards the net when he smashed therefore ' Higuma Otoshi' didn't work!" He looked over to Atobe for confirmation.

Afterwhich he said " so, can we go now? Isn't the practice over for quite some time?" He stifled a yawn as he said.

As Jirou left, Oshitari and Atobe mingled behind.

"So what do you think of him?" Atobe asked.
"That freshman? He's smart." Oshitari answered, "and he's a genius too" He added in his heart.
