In the Name of Rikkai's Tyrant

[Also by the author: the completed novels “Did Senior Tian Gong Play Tennis? No, He Was Picking People Up” and “Using Breathing Techniques to Play Scientific Tennis.” Enjoy!]

As the tennis club’s funds at Rikkai Dai grew increasingly tight, Yanagi Renji carefully tallied the team’s recent expenses and discovered the culprit was Kyoichi.

Kyoichi the Tyrant

One of Rikkai Dai’s Big Four;

A violent tennis player;

Loves to taunt his opponents;

Has a particular fondness for destroying courts;

The main reason Rikkai Dai’s club funds keep shrinking. There is no other!

*

Kyoichi has two recent worries.

One: His violent tennis is amazing, but nobody in junior high tennis likes it!

Two: For the nth time, people have mistaken him and his older brother for father and son...

The first worry is easy to solve.

After Rikkai Dai wins the championship, a seaweed-haired boy suddenly appears in front of him.

Kyoichi: A seaweed head? His hair is weird, but that skill that turns it red looks so cool!

You’re the one! You’ll be my successor!

The junior high tennis world is deeply critical of violent tennis, and rumors about it have even taken a nasty turn.

But...

“It’s fine. I’ll keep beating everyone who refuses to accept it until they do.”

As for the second worry...

Kyoichi: No, how could we be father and son when my brother and I look so much alike?!!!! Take another good look! My brother and I are real brothers!

The Rikkai Dai team: No... You actually look pretty different...

Sorry, we can’t lie about something like that.

Little scene

“Ei-chan, why don’t you look anything like Senior Oni?” Marui couldn’t help asking. They’d been curious about this for ages.

Kyoichi answered with certainty: “No, we look alike!”

My brother and I are real brothers. How could we not look alike? Confident.jpg

#

Oni’s younger brother. Taking his mother’s surname is a headcanon.

An exceptionally arrogant tyrant who believes strength is everything.

Everyone is out of character; lots of headcanons.

Firmly Rikkai Dai all the way.

You don’t have to tell me if you drop the story.
