The little seaweed-haired Kirihara was in a real pickle!
He was the rising star of Hyotei Academy, destined to wear the crown, inherit the throne from senior Atobe, and become the King who ruled over more than two hundred members of Hyotei's tennis club. And now he couldn't even attend club practice!
What kind of cruel joke was this?
Damn it, why did Hyotei have a rule that you couldn't join club activities if you failed even one subject?
Kirihara had tried cramming for a week before the exams and still failed every subject. He raised his sorrowful face toward the sky at a 45-degree angle: He'd taken a fake exam!
Some bespectacled Kansai wolf: That's right, you took a fake exam. You took a math test in the second-year physics exam room, after all! You have no idea how "delighted" I was to spot you at the back of the exam hall.
Some bob-haired treasurer: I can't understand it. How could anyone interpret every reading-comprehension passage in modern Chinese to mean the exact opposite? "An unusual thought process" doesn't begin to explain it!
Some kind-hearted, tall, dog-like Hou: This isn't Akaya's fault. He just forgot to write his name on the English test!
Some red-haired girl with a bowl cut: Would writing his name have helped him pass English? You might as well believe Jiro won't fall asleep during practice today.
Some sheep: ZZZZZ
Some guy who still has long hair: Pathetic.
The student council president, the emperor of Hyotei, could only laugh dryly. His heir was an idiot beyond compare...
The shadow behind the emperor: Usu!
Some serious green-haired guy, the little seaweed's desk mate and the setter for the volleyball team next door: Akaya, if all else fails, why not carry a lucky charm around like I do?
"!"
All bad reviews! They're all bad reviews! I'm not listening, I'm not listening!
The little seaweed-haired Kirihara clapped his hands over his ears in anguish. The little seaweed-haired Kirihara had gone full Niugu Lu (or something?). He swore he would take it all back and make everyone at Hyotei see him in a new light!
Tennis is all about elegance!
After enrolling at Hyotei, the little seaweed-haired Kirihara snapped his fingers and tossed off his jacket. He raised his chin proudly: "Lose yourselves in this great one's, um, I mean, this young master's dazzling skills!"
"..."
Hyotei tennis club cheerleader A (looking disgusted): Captain, should we cheer him on?
Cheerleader B (equally disgusted): What a moron.
Cheerleading captain (equally disgusted, plus one): ...Just humor him.
