Chapter 4: Beginner Tennis

  Masumi's first day of school ended with her being carried home by Sanada, which shocked the people at Sanada's house. However, once they knew the reason, they all agreed that she needed to train properly, and from then on Masumi joined the regular team.

  It was already the second day when Yafeng followed Chen Tian to attend the morning training of the tennis club early in the morning.

  "Puchi, Yafeng sister is early."

  Makoto and Yagyu came over to greet Yasu while Shinoda was away.

  "Good morning, Brother Fox." Yafeng said listlessly.

  "Yahiko seems out of spirits," said Ryūsei.

  "Yesterday I ran so many laps and when I got back, Grandpa and the others found out. They said my physical fitness is too poor and told Xian Yilang to train me well. Then Xian Yilang said he wants me to train with all of you."

  "Pffft, isn't this great?"

  "Yah Feng is afraid of being too tired."

  "Ah, Fox Brother, Gentleman Brother, please help me beg for mercy from Big Brother. Don't let him punish me like he did to Little Hai, or I'll die."

  Just a moment ago, he was still out of spirit, but now he's as lively as a wagging and fawning pug, with an air of elegance that even Ren King Ryūsei can't help but find adorable.

  "Don't worry, Sanada won't treat you like this." Yagyu reassured.

  "Really?"

  Yūki nodded his head.

  "After all, it's better to be a gentlemanly older brother, hehe."

  "Puchi, I'm not bad, am I? Yafeng sister."

  "Anyway, it's also good for Fox Brother."

  But before Yafeng could get excited for a few minutes, the emperor arrived.

  "Elegant wind, one circle, benevolent king, willow life, twenty circles."

  Looking at Renwang and Yusheng running together, Yafeng thoughtlessly thought that he had made a mistake in trying to curry favor with the wrong person, and should have tried to curry favor with the goddess instead. After all, she was the supreme ruler of Lihai University, and only she could suppress the emperor.

  Yah Feng had just finished running and hadn't even caught his breath when Zhen Tian brought over a badminton racket.

  "I serve, you receive, just get it over the net."

  "Yes."

  Looking at the racket in his hand and Masayu Shinoda on the other side of the court, he thought irresponsibly: Tennis should be like badminton.

  Watching Sanada's serve, Mita returned it very seriously, but unfortunately it fell into the net.

  "Not enough strength, two hands return."

  "Yes."

  The second ball was returned with great force, and the ball also went over the net with a lot of face, but it was still too weak. After that, Sanada personally served him until the end of training.

  With Xia Hai's support, Ya Feng finally returned to the classroom.

  "Yafeng, how did you get so tired?" asked Xiaoye with concern.

  "You're still not treating me like a lady, I'm exhausted, and you're not being gentle at all."

  "Hmph." Ono laughed disdainfully, "Looks like he's still your brother, huh? Do you usually talk about your own brother like that?"

  "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he's my elder brother, I wouldn't bother with him."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Uh...I don't dare to be certain, the Emperor is too powerful."

  "Yafeng, you're too weak! As the deputy minister, isn't it just making you run around and catch a few unskilled balls? You're actually exhausted like this." Xiaohai began to speak up for his idol.

  "What's the big deal about not being in a circle? What's the big deal about not catching a few balls without skills? Do you think I'm one of you guys? I've never had such intense exercise before, okay?" Someone got furious.

  "Uh...", Xia Hai shrunk his neck, why did he feel the presence of the deputy minister?

  Ono gazed at Yafuu with sparkling eyes, so cool, no wonder she's Sanada-senpai's little sister.

  Afterwards, Ke Ya Feng and Xiao Hai Dai fell asleep together in class. She finally understood why Xiao Hai Dai liked to sleep so much during lessons - it was exhausting!

  Of course, the suffering won't end that easily. The afternoon training continued. When Yafeng ran two laps and came back, she found that Sanada had gone to a meeting. She was so happy, but...

  "Yafeng, I'll accompany you to practice ball this afternoon." Chocolate classmate said with a smile, stroking his shiny head, to Yafeng who was sitting paralyzed in the chair.

  "Ah!" Yafeng exclaimed loudly, but she immediately put on a pitiful expression and said: "San Gen brother, I'm so tired. Can we not practice today?"

  Chocolate classmate said with difficulty: "The deputy minister said that if you don't want to practice ball, go run five laps again, under the supervision of the whole netball department."

  "Ahh!" A blood-curdling scream echoed from the tennis court, and Yafeng could only resign himself to picking up his racket and heading out to practice with Chouko, muttering under his breath about how Emperor-sama was going to pay for this, that damned Black-Faced God was ruthless, making the entire tennis club supervise him, he must have thought of this plan, if I die from exhaustion I'll definitely curse you to never be with the goddess.

  Tinada, who was in the middle of a student council meeting, let out a loud sneeze.

  "Genichiro, it seems someone is scolding you. I wonder if it might be your lovely little sister?" asked Yukimura with a radiant face.

  Sanada merely glanced at him and didn't respond, that young girl was truly too careless.

  As expected, Sanada's face turned even darker, and just as the goddess was feeling triumphant, she let out a loud sneeze.

  Sanada glanced at Yukimura and didn't say anything, but Yukimura still sensed Sanada's mood improving significantly, as if saying "You see, it's not just me who scolds her."

  Kōmura's face smiled even more brightly but in his heart he was thinking "that little girl dared to scold me, I've got to take it".

  Someone who is practicing basketball with Chocolate classmate has been sneezing continuously, did they catch a cold? No way, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, then what's wrong is going to happen?

  It turned out that someone's sixth sense was still very strong, and the next day she was punished by the Emperor for two more rounds, let the Goddess personally train for an afternoon, and finally had to let the Emperor carry her back.
