*Chapter 8: The Rules of Hyotei*

Thud!

Thud!

At the Hyotei Tennis Club.

On one of the courts.

Shinohara Saburo, a tall and well-built figure, was running around the court in a flustered panic.

Despite being a seasoned player, he was being completely overwhelmed.

On the other side of the net.

A young, handsome black-haired boy stood calmly. Each of his seemingly ordinary returns forced his opponent into a frantic scramble.

If not for witnessing it firsth...

Chapter 7: Progress in the Match, Ōshitari's Shock

Ding!

The player executes a drive shot, activating the skill: Basic Drive Lv0 (0/10).

The player scores with a half-volley, Basic Drive experience +4.

With a single shot, Ishikawa activated his second basic skill.

A drive shot, in tennis, refers to any shot struck after the ball bounces off the ground. This includes flat shots and topspin shots, while the half-volley is an exceptionally rare type of shot.

Generally, half-volleys ...

Chapter 6: Ishikawa's Insight

*Boom!*

On the tennis court, a faint yellow streak of light exploded in front of Shinohara Saburo, who stood frozen like a statue.

*"30-0!"*

After calling the score, Mitsui glanced deeply at Ishikawa.

*"Another ace serve?!"*

Outside the court, the Hyotei team members were visibly shaken.

Two consecutive aces—this couldn’t just be a coincidence anymore.

This newcomer’s serve was truly powerful! 2025-02-27 01:11:13 +0000 UTC View Post

*Chapter 5: Ace Serve*

“Are you ready?”

Outside the court, Suzuki Ryota, who had volunteered to act as the referee, looked at the two players below. After confirming their readiness, he nodded and announced:

“The match will be decided in one set!”

“Ishikawa to serve, first game!”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone’s attention turned to Ishikawa.

Tap!  

Tap!

Chapter 4: Newcomer Orientation Mission

*Unbelievable!*

No one could have expected that this newcomer would deliver such an astonishing serve.

Soon after, everyone’s gaze shifted to Shinohara. Their eyes carried a hint of mockery, as if they were all eagerly waiting to see how things would unfold.

*"Damn it!"*

Shinohara finally snapped back to reality, his face flushing red with embarrassment and anger as he felt the weight of everyone’s judgmental stares.

He look...

*Chapter 3: A Stunning Shot*

In the anime, one of the most criticized aspects of Seigaku is its rule about picking up balls. Many people, including Ishikawa himself, attribute Seigaku's lack of success in the first two years to the tennis club's rookie rules after watching the anime.

Take Tezuka, for example. When he first entered middle school, his raw talent was undoubtedly enough to dominate Seigaku—even the captain, Yamato, was no match for him. Yet, despite this, he didn’t receive any special treatm...

*Chapter 2: Does Hyotei Also Have to Pick Up Balls?*

*Hyotei = Beginner Zone?*

*Hyotei Team Members = NPCs?*

*Outside Hyotei = Wild Zone?*

*Tennis Players Outside Hyotei = Wild Monsters?!*

With a shift in his thoughts, Ishikawa’s gaze fell on one of the nearby tennis courts where a match was taking place.

*[Shohara Saburo: Lv. 18]*

*[Suzuki Ryota: Lv. 17]*

“Are these their levels?”

At this moment, Ishikawa was clearly tre...

April.

Spring blossoms in full bloom.

Tokyo, Hyotei Academy.

Cherry blossom petals flutter across the campus, and the tree branches are adorned with light green leaves, brimming with vitality.

It’s the first day of school.

Boys and girls in uniforms laugh and play, while some newcomers—either naive or nervous—observe their surroundings.

Ishikawa is one of them.

After the international box office results for Buried Alive were released, many American media outlets enthusiastically reported the news.

The Los Angeles Times stated that the value of Buried Alive continued to rise.

In the end, Harry and Draco came to an agreement to keep their distance until the rumors faded.

However, this didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of fangirls crafting their own stories. One explicit fanfic even made its way into Snape’s Potions class, where he confiscated it with a look of utter disdain.

The culprit was a senior Ravenclaw student, who was promptly docked 50 points by Snape, unflinchingly.

*Chapter 183: An Unexpected Surprise*

Wayne didn't believe for a second that tonight's party was just what it appeared to be.

All of Hollywood knew that Wayne rarely attended parties, unless there was some kind of surprise in store.

Even though this party was packed with celebrities, most of them were familiar faces.

Not that he had any interest in these actresses, but even if he did, he could easily reach out on his own. Any of them willing to engage with him did so not because of Sony Columbia's influen...

Early morning.

Andre handed over the revised proposal. Over the past few days, he had been shuttling tirelessly between London and Paris, losing weight but brimming with energy, clearly invested in the task.

Milo leaned back in his plush, comfortable executive chair and carefully rev...

Konoha Year 59.

Cherry blossoms bloomed, casting a light, rich pink hue over Konoha’s streets, ushering in the spirit of spring.

“It’s already been so long!” muttered Hotaru Tsuchigumo, walking along the street, gazing at the now-familiar surroundings. The sigh that escaped her was laced with complexity—a sentiment fitting for an eleven-year-old, whose emotions often took on intense highs and lows.

She had first come to ...

As soon as Sasuke spoke, the points on the system screen jumped instantly, marking the completion of a "cool act."

In that moment—

Neji's expression changed dramatically!

Just now, he had locked onto Sasuke's position with his Byakugan. But in an instant, Sasuke had appeared right in front of him.

Jamie and the others stared at the opened gate, exchanging bewildered looks for a few seconds.

Quickly regaining his composure, Jamie resumed walking, filming the dilapidated surroundings of the cabin’s yard while analyzing the scene from behind the camera.

They moved past this unexpected little incident.

Jamie maneuvered the camera in his hands, capturing a complete view of the abandoned cabin with shaky ...

Seeing this unforgettable scene from the anime come to life, Shinji’s expression shifted subtly, a wave of nostalgia washing over him.

In his past life, his favorite character from the Naruto series was the carefree and valiant hero standing before him now. Seeing him in person brought a mix of disbelief and joy, as though he’d suddenly met his idol.

“The idea is wonderful, but reality is often far from ideal.”

As soon as Lyonel finished speaking, Justice Minister Jasper stood up, his expression grave.

Viserys cast a questioning glance at him. “Why do you say that, Lord Jasper?”

Though he was not as imposing and authoritative as his grandfather, Jaehaerys, as king, he still believed he could rally his vassals to defend the realm.

After lingering for a while longer to sort through the information in his mind, Seimei decided not to waste any more time and prepared to return to the village.  

But before that, he first dispelled his Shadow Clone Technique. 

In an instant, all the shadow clones training across the nearby sea vanished. 

Immediately afterward, a flood of training experiences and memories surged into his mind. 

Seimei quickly closed his eyes,...

Inside the study.

The Uchiha Grand Elder laughed heartily for a moment before collecting himself, his expression turning extremely serious.

His Sharingan activated silently as he fixed his gaze on the person before him and spoke in a calm, measured tone: "Who else knows about this?"

The visitor looked uneasy and quickly responded, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, as of now, no one else knows."

"Oh? As of now?"

"Yes, Grand Elder!"

Night fell.

At Gretchen’s house.

This was a true mansion. Driving from the entrance to the fountain courtyard took some time. Tall gateposts towered over marble-paved grounds, exuding opulence.

Under the dazzling lights, uniformed staff members worked methodically. These employees, hired from a professional party planning company, were responsible for organizing this birthday celebration.

As the host and the guests, all you needed to do was dress to impress.<...

“We’re famous now! Completely famous!”

Emmett appeared out of nowhere, bursting with excitement.

“Really?”

Adam smiled faintly, seeming indifferent.

“Why aren’t you excited?”

Emmett waved his hands dramatically, displeased by Adam's nonchalant attitude. “You’re acting like you don’t care—are you trying to make me look ignorant?”

“What’s there to be excited about?”

Adam chuckled as he ...

Adam confirmed again and again, "You can play the piano backstage—it’s just separated by a curtain, and the sound won’t really be blocked."

"No need."

Little Sheldon asked curiously, "Why would I stay backstage?"

"Yeah, why?"

Emmett was puzzled.

Taking a deep breath, he frowned and looked at Shisui, advising gravely:

"Shisui, I’ll keep this a secret for you, but you must stop getting involved with them."

"Trust me, it’s dangerous."

At this point in time, the Akatsuki organization is ...

Some people bask in the sunlight, yet their hearts remain cold.

No matter how bright or warm the sunlight may be, it cannot reach a closed-off and dark heart.

Gaara was just like that.

He sat on a swing, swaying gently back and forth, his only companion a small teddy bear in his hands.

As he watched the other children laughing and playing together, all he could do was silently observe.

Raising his hand,...

Within the apartment complex, there was a restaurant, a medical center, and a large indoor gym. The public areas also featured a tennis court.

Emerging from the other side of the room, Luke noticed a group of undead worshipping a petrified human-shaped tree on a distant rooftop.  

Unfortunately, they were right in his path. 

If his memory served him correctly, one of these creatures would soon turn into something far worse. 

Sure enough, as Luke approached, the most prominent undead in the group rose and staggered toward him. It o...

However, due to mediocre performance, her subsequent opportunities dwindled. At this point, she was only slightly better than a rookie, a D-list actress.

Still, since she had once played the lead role in a film, she was given the first spot.

"Alright, Miss Trachtenberg, you may begin your performance," said Hannah, the assistant.

Michelle Trachtenberg had been observing Wayne's reaction ever since she introduced herself. Seeing his indifferent expression, showing no ...
