"Gather, gather, everyone come here to gather."

One minute before class started, Class 3 monitor Yumi Yuki put her hands in the shape of a trumpet and shouted, quickly gathering the students who were wandering around her.

The students who gathered around formed a neat queue under the arrangement of the monitor, waiting for the physical education teacher of this class to come.

The teacher in charge of teaching them tennis lessons this time is a strong man over forty years old and wearing a tennis cap. Due to outdoor sports all year round, the skin all over his body is full of healthy bronze.

"Now I will take roll call, and the students who are called will raise their hands to signal me." The teacher wearing a tennis cap said in a high voice.

Afterwards, the physical education teacher quickly counted the students present and began to arrange some jogging and warm-up exercises that would help stretch the muscles. Later, the students were also asked to perform specialized training on several basic swing movements.

By the time all these things were done, one-third of the tennis lesson had passed.

"The remaining time will be a mixed doubles match for men and women, and everyone can start looking for their own doubles partners."

After a brief exchange with the teacher, class monitor Yuki Yumi stood in the middle of the tennis court and shouted loudly, not forgetting to add one sentence at the end.

"Remember, you can only find partners of the opposite sex. Same-sex partners are not allowed."

"Monitor, I want to play ball with you!"

"Do you understand that it's first come, first served?"

"I want to partner with Yuki Ono from Class 3... Oh, it turns out he's a boy, so that's okay."

As Yuki Yumi finished speaking, the surrounding students who had just finished swing training instantly became noisy. They were all chatting about who to partner with. Some of them were excited and some were helpless, but in the end everyone found themselves.

mixed doubles partner.

Even Ryota Takehara, who regards "women only affect my speed of drawing a sword" as his life creed, obediently chose his girlfriend Rei Amano as his partner in the doubles match.

Except Kiritani Tetsuya and Utsunomiya Miu.

Kiritani Tetsuya looked at the pairs of students on the screen and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.

During the whole process of selecting his partner, no one came forward to look for him.

Whenever a girl made eye contact with Kiritani Tetsuya, she would quickly avert her gaze and walk aside.

Although Kiritani Tetsuya was surprised by this phenomenon, it was not unacceptable.

After all, my reputation in the girl circle was not very good before. In addition, there have been rumors about Utsunomiya Miu recently. It is estimated that no one wants to anger Utsunomiya Miu by getting in a relationship with me.

The goddess of misfortune in school.

"It would be nice if Ibuki-san was at school today."

Kiritani Tetsuya, who was sitting there thinking wildly because no one came to him, soon attracted the attention of squad leader Yuuki Yumi, who then walked up and asked with concern:

"Have you not found your doubles partner yet, Kiritani-san?"

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that this is indeed the case."

Kiritani Tetsuya scratched his temples with his fingers and said awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, Kiritani-san, if I had known earlier that you would not be able to find a partner, I should have looked for you first."

Yuki Yumi said with some apology, while her bright eyes turned around, and then she seemed to have made a new discovery.

"Kiritani-san, you can go with Utsunomiya-san from Class 2."

Yuuki Yumi said, and pointed at Utsunomiya Miu who was sitting on the edge of the tennis court calmly drinking from a water glass.

Kiritani Tetsuya looked in the direction of Yuuki Yumi's finger, but there was a hesitant look on his face.

It wasn't that he didn't want to play ball with Utsunomiya Miu, but he was worried that the girl might be holding back a surge of anger because he changed her pajamas privately yesterday, and was ready to vent it on him at any time.

"Let me think about it first." Kiritani Tetsuya said with some fear.

"It's okay. If we just play ball together, I don't think Utsunomiya-san would refuse. Kiritani-san might as well try to invite you."

Yuki Yumi cheered on the side.

"Okay, let me try it."

Finally, under Yuki Yumi's continuous persuasion, Kiritani Tetsuya moved his body sitting on the bench and walked slowly to Utsunomiya Miu.

While walking, Kiritani Tetsuya tried his best to stay calm and not think about what happened last night.

Standing directly opposite Utsunomiya Miu with a tennis racket in his hand, the boy gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"What a coincidence, Utsunomiya-san didn't find his doubles partner either?"

"A few came, but I rejected them all. What, Kiritani-san, are you here to invite me to be your partner?"

Utsunomiya Miu shook her head lightly, and then asked with interest again.

"Look, we are the only two students in the class who haven't formed a team yet. How about we just make do?"

Seeing that Utsunomiya Miu didn't mention what happened last night, Kiritani Tetsuya breathed a sigh of relief and then asked tentatively.

"From Kiritani-san's tone, it sounds like you only regard me as your candidate. Since you are so unwilling, then forget it."

Utsunomiya Miu did not agree directly, but put on a disappointed expression.

Seeing this, Kiritani Tetsuya forcibly resisted the desire to complain in public and re-considered his words.

"I was rude just now. I very much hope that Utsunomiya-san can be my doubles partner."

"How hopeful?"

"The kind of hope that must come from you." Tetsuya Kiritani said slowly.

"I agreed."

Utsunomiya Miu said with a smile, extending one of her arms while speaking.

"Pull me up."

"no problem."

Kiritani Tetsuya grinned, took the girl's white and tender palm, and easily pulled Utsunomiya Miu's seemingly weak body up from the bench.

"By the way, can you play tennis?"

Seeing Utsunomiya Miu adjusting her skirt that was a little messed up with her hands, Kiritani Tetsuya suddenly asked curiously.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why, Kiritani-san is starting to dislike me?"

"That's not true, I'm just curious."

"Don't worry, since the two of us are in the same boat now, no matter what, we must get the first place."

Utsunomiya Miu said confidently. After adjusting the hem of her tennis skirt, she took the lead and walked towards the center of the court. In the blink of an eye, only Kiritani Tetsuya's charming back was left.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Utsunomiya Miu's athletic ability. Maybe this is an opportunity."

Staring at his True God teammate, who slowly distanced himself from him, Tetsuya Kiritani stopped thinking about it and trotted after him.

Now all the students in the tennis class had found their doubles partners, and they quickly organized corresponding matches.

Since this tennis doubles match is mainly for leisure and entertainment, the opponents are decided by the students themselves through private discussions. As a result, the list of matches for each match is a duel between acquaintances.

For example, the opponent of the team of Tetsuya Kiritani and Miu Utsunomiya is the couple team of Ryota Takehara and Rei Amano.

"Tetsuya, don't blame me for not reminding you. An uncoordinated doubles team like you and Utsunomiya-san cannot possibly block the combined love attack of Rei-chan and I."

Before the game even started, Takehara Ryota was expertly talking trash.

"Ryota, I'm sorry to see you again in this way. I can only say that insignificant humans will never understand the terror of gods."

Kiritani Tetsuya also replied not to be outdone.
