“Akutsu and Ryoma? Seriously?”
Outside the court, Inoue glanced toward the Seigaku team with surprise after hearing the announcement.
Sure enough, a young boy wearing a white tennis cap walked to the edge of the court, racket in hand.
On the other side, from the Hyotei team, Akutsu—tall, with his ash-gray hair spiked up—walked over with a cold expression, his racket resting on his shoulder.
“Ryoma,...

Boom!
On the court, Oishi analyzed the situation and accurately predicted his opponent's movements. He lured Mukahi forward with a short shot, and as Mukahi returned with a high lob, a figure soared into the air behind him—Kikumaru!
“Kikumaru Rocket!”
Bang!
With a powerful smash, the tennis ball shot down like a bullet, landing with such speed and force that Mukahi could only watch helplessly as it ricocheted out of r...

Swish!
On the court, a figure descended from the air, his incredible hang time allowing him to assess the situation before making his move.
Thud!
With a crisp sound, the ball precisely pierced through the opponent's defense and landed for a point.
"0-30!"
Tap.
After scoring, Mukahi landed gracefully, casting a disdainful glance at his opponents before turning away.
"Ugh, this guy f...

"Susie, it's me, Chandler. I want to talk to you… Hello? Hello?"
Chandler walked into the room, holding the phone, but before he could finish speaking, the call was abruptly hung up.
Clearly, after her failed attempt at revenge last time, she had simply given up.
The key to this kind of revenge is catching someone off guard. Once exposed, there’s no point in continuing because no one would just sit there and take it. Especially since the kind ...

Everyone continued chatting for a while.
Richard got up and left.
Because of his age, there was always some gap between him and the group. Chandler and the others weren’t too keen on including him in their activities, so he usually just dated Monica alone.
Monica gazed longingly at his departing figure, her face filled with happiness.
“He’s already gone; your soul can return now,” Chandler joked. “Is it really t...

"I don’t agree!"
Monica immediately exploded upon hearing this, pointing at Adam. "You're cheating!"
"Darling, calm down."
Monica’s boyfriend, Dr. Richard, quickly tried to soothe her.

"Hey, Adam."
Richard also smiled back, offering an apologetic look.

Adam chuckled. "Rachel invited me on her own; I didn’t p...

“Tsk, talk about reckless!”
Sorting through the memories in his head, Seimei couldn’t help but click his tongue.
With the way Orochimaru was acting, Seimei figured it wouldn’t take more than a few months before the guy had to ditch the village and go rogue.
But still…
“Why’s he in such a rush?”
Seimei’s brows knitted slightly.
From what he knew about Orochimaru, even without Danzo’s backing, the guy shouldn’t be this&nb...

Half an hour later, atop the giant rock on the island, Seimei paused the nurturing of his Byakugan.
It wasn’t that he wanted to stop—it’s just that the chakra left in the interdimensional space at his brow had run dry.
Opening his eyes, Seimei instinctively reached for the metal orb beside him, the one sealing the Seven-Tails, ready to use the "Chakra Absorption Technique" to siphon some of its chakra. But the moment he started, a thought hit him. He’d already gone ...

“Just a small-town girl, livin’ in a lonely world, she took the midnight train, goin’ anywhere.”
The gentle, clear notes of the piano rang out like crisp spring water, tinkling softly. A bright voice began to hum low, weaving a story from deep within, the lyrics spilling out with a warm hint of a smile. Even the bar’s rowdy clamor couldn’t drown it out. No visuals were needed—just the sound alone painted the curve of that light, upward tilt of his lips.

For some reason, under Ronan’s steady gaze, Ollie nodded in agreement. But worry and confusion still bubbled up. “But what about Cliff and Maxim…?”
A band is a band because it needs different instruments—drums, keyboards, guitars, bass, and more. Each one brings its own flavor, clashing and blending together to create something moving. Lose any piece, and the melody just isn’t the same.
Plus, the heart of a band lies in live performances. Unlike the steady predi...

Ollie froze for a moment, staring at his friend. Ronan’s clear, deep eyes gradually lit up, sparkling like they were filled with stars—bright and dazzling.
Then, a smile lifted the corners of his mouth, light and easy, like a June afternoon in early summer. A breeze carried the crisp, refreshing heat, golden sunlight spilled across a shimmering green lake, and the rustling reeds swayed gently. Amid the calm, there was a lazy, laid-back vibe.

Thud.
Ollie flopped to the ground in a perfect display of face-planting, his limbs stiff from embarrassment. He froze in place, like time had stopped, not moving a muscle.
One second. Two seconds.
Then the pain hit him like a delayed punch. He curled up into a ball, looking like a cooked shrimp, clutching his knee and groaning through gritted teeth. Still, he couldn’t stop muttering complaints under his breath: “How could you just step aside like that? I ...

Although it was unclear why the other party had ceased attacking at the last moment, the cry "Steve" uttered as he left filled Matt's heart with unease.

Dunn’s about to direct a movie where over 95% of the shots need post-production magic. Except for one scene they’ll shoot in the Nevada desert, most of it’s happening right in the studio.
With a fixed location and easy green-screen setups, they’re betting the whole shoot won’t take more than 80 days. Pretty sweet, right? Dunn might even wrap it up before My Big Fat Greek Wedding hits North America.
That said, post-production’s a beast—estimated...

Natalie Portman is still a high school sophomore, and she’s back in New York now, getting ready for her final exams.
Dunn made a call, hoping to ask her out and get to know her better, but it was her mom, Shirley Hershlag, who picked up. Awkward moment!
This Jewish mom is super strict with her daughter.
Dunn can’t even get Natalie’s private contact info. Tough luck!

When Dunn took over as the director of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, he grabbed the script and handed it to his trusty writing team for a makeover.
This movie? Dunn knew it inside and out. Sure, it had epic scenes and jaw-dropping effects, but the dragging plot, the battle that took forever to kick off, the over-the-top twists, and those kiddie-level jokes? Hard to believe this was supposed to be a masterpiece!
Especially those PowerPoint-style scene t...

Adam was stunned by Rachel’s request.
Countless thoughts raced through his mind.
Did they have a fight?
Did Ross cheat right after their argument?
And now Rachel wanted revenge, using Adam as a pawn?
Or was this just a prank, with Monica and the others hiding nearby, waiting to laugh at him?
Adam glanced around but saw no one lurking in the shadows.
That meant the most likely scenario was that Ra...

He reached out, pulling a metal orb sealed with the Seven-Tails from his ninja pouch.
Then, splitting off a sliver of his focus, he raised his hands to form seals and unleashed the “Chakra Absorption Te...
