The sound of the barbed wire gate being opened suddenly attracted the attention of the nearby members, who instinctively looked over.
They didn't think much of it at first, assuming it was just another club member coming to play ball, but when they saw what was happening, they were all dumbfounded.
They saw Tezuka Kunimitsu, the captain of the Seigaku tennis club, walk in, wearing the Seigaku regular team uniform and carrying a tennis bag.
They didn't know why Tezuka Kunimitsu had come to the tennis court at this time, but the moment they saw him, they instinctively stood up straight, their expressions becoming restrained, uneasy, and fearful.
This is the prestige, authority, and reputation that Tezuka Kunimitsu established within the Seigaku tennis club.
Tezuka Kunimitsu's expression remained unchanged, still as serious as a still pond.
After a brief inspection, Tezuka Kunimitsu said, "Course No. 1 is vacant; the other courts remain as usual."
The tennis club members would absolutely obey Tezuka Kunimitsu's orders.
Soon, the two club members who were playing on court number 1 voluntarily withdrew and stood quietly to the side.
At this moment, both of these two club members and the others began to wonder, speculating and whispering about why Tezuka Kunimitsu had come to the tennis court.
"Is the minister deliberately leaving field number 1 empty because he's going to play against someone?"
"That can't be right. With the captain's abilities, who else in Seigaku would be worth the captain's attention?"
"Have you forgotten Fuji-senpai?"
"Indeed, Fuji-senpai is probably the only one in Seigaku who can compete with the captain in tennis."
"Look, the minister is starting to warm up!"
"As expected, the minister is going to compete against someone!"
"Could it be Fuji-senpai? It's been three years, is the captain finally going to settle things with Fuji-senpai?"
"Strange, there's an exchange match this afternoon. Even if the captain and Fuji-senpai wanted to determine a winner, they shouldn't have chosen this time, right?"
......
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was warming up, naturally heard the discussions around him.
However, Tezuka Kunimitsu didn't react to this. Instead, he was just like them, looking forward to what kind of surprise Chen Anxia, who had only been playing tennis for five days, would bring him.
Amid Tezuka Kunimitsu's warm-up and the discussions among the tennis club members, Chen Anxia, dressed in Seigaku's school uniform and carrying a tennis bag, finally arrived at the Seigaku tennis court.
Upon arriving at the Seigaku tennis court, Chen Anxia saw Tezuka Kunimitsu already warming up on court number 1.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia pushed open the wire mesh gate and walked into the Seigaku tennis court, onto the other half of court number 1.
Then, to the astonishment of the tennis club members, Chen Anxia took off her jacket, revealing her sportswear underneath, and began to warm up.
Upon seeing this, the tennis club members immediately became agitated.
"Who is he? Is he a member of our tennis club? I don't recognize him."
"No way, is the captain waiting for him instead of Fuji-senpai?"
"He shouldn't be a member of our tennis club, right?"
"Could he have made a mistake? Should we go up and call him away?"
“Look at the minister. He has clearly discovered him, but he has tacitly approved of his actions. Doesn’t that prove that the person the minister is waiting for is him?”
"The captain actually waited for him? Could his strength be comparable to the captain's? But when did Seigaku have such a person?"
......
Neither Chen Anxia nor Tezuka Kunimitsu paid any attention to the surrounding chatter, focusing intently on their warm-up.
During Chen Anxia and Tezuka Kunimitsu's warm-up match, many freshmen came after hearing the news and gathered outside the wire fence of the tennis court, watching curiously.
Most of these freshmen were girls. They had been paying attention to Chen Anxia, and since they had nothing to do during their lunch break, they came over in groups of three or five to join in the fun.
Ryuzaki Sakuno and Kosaka Tomoka were among them, and in addition to them, the players who heard the news also rushed over.
Clearly, these players came because of Chen Anxia.
The tennis club members inside the court were initially surprised to see so many people gathered outside, mostly girls.
This situation was almost unprecedented, which puzzled them.
But soon, they learned from the discussions among the freshmen outside that they had all come because of Chen Anxia, which made them curious about Chen Anxia.
They didn't know what kind of charm Chen Anxia possessed that could attract so many people.
Is it appearance? Perhaps it's related, but it's definitely not the main reason.
It's worth noting that among the regular members of Seigaku, there are many people with outstanding appearances, such as Tezuka Kunimitsu and Fuji Syusuke.
But none of them caused such a scene.
Tezuka Kunimitsu, who was warming up, also noticed this scene and learned that they had all come because of Chen Anxia, which made him even more curious about Chen Anxia.
After warming up, Tezuka Kunimitsu got into position in the receiving area and then looked at Chen Anxia and said, "You will serve for the first game."
"If you can get even a single point from me, I'll tell you what you want to know..."

Chapter 225 Full Power, Anxia's Bullet Serve! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
Tezuka Kunimitsu's words naturally sparked another round of heated discussion among the tennis club members.
These members all knew Tezuka Kunimitsu, so they could all understand the deeper meaning behind his words.
But it was a different story for the freshmen gathered outside the tennis court's wire netting.
They didn't come because of Kunimitsu Tezuka, nor because of tennis, so they simply felt that what Kunimitsu Tezuka said sounded impressive, giving them a sense of awe and wonder.
However, the players among them are different.
Players who enter "The Prince of Tennis" during this period are basically interested in tennis and have a certain level of tennis skills.
Therefore, their first thought upon hearing Tezuka Kunimitsu's words was, 'This guy is incredibly arrogant.'
In their minds, junior high school students' tennis skills are very limited, and they don't even reach the amateur level.
Under such circumstances, they will inevitably make mistakes from time to time when playing tennis.
And this bespectacled middle school student in front of me actually dared to say such an absolute statement as, "As long as you can get even one point from me..."
What exactly could make him 'speak such outrageous words'?
For a moment, the players had different thoughts, and they were already curious about the competition that was about to begin.
At this moment, on the field.
Upon hearing Tezuka Kunimitsu's words, Chen Anxia couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling an immense pressure creeping over him.
The immense pressure seemed to make the surrounding air heavier, forcing Chen Anxia to take deeper breaths each time she could inhale the heavy air.
This immense pressure naturally stemmed from Tezuka Kunimitsu.
Although Chen Anxia had forgotten most of the plot of "The Prince of Tennis", he knew one thing: Tezuka Kunimitsu was extremely strong, at least at the national level.
Therefore, Chen Anxia knew that Tezuka Kunimitsu's seemingly absolute statement was not just empty talk, but that he truly had the right to say it.
Chen Anxia also knew that even if he used all his strength, he might not be able to win a single point from Tezuka Kunimitsu.
However, Chen Anxia will not give up. He needs to feel the gap between himself and Tezuka Kunimitsu in this competition so that he can clarify his next goal.
Moreover, Chen Anxia is not without a chance; that chance lies in...
After clearing his mind, Chen Anxia began to hit the tennis ball with his hands, adjusting his state and finding his feel for the ball in the upcoming match.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
......
The sound of tennis rackets hitting the ground rang out, and the sound seemed to have a magical power, gradually calming the somewhat restless crowd and drawing their attention to the sound.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Anxia caught the spinning tennis ball and tossed it high into the air.
In my mind, a data model of the bullet serve had appeared at some point, repeatedly replaying the details of the bullet serve process.
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia directly replicated the data model of the bullet serve.
The next moment, in Chen Anxia's dynamic vision, as if the tennis ball was falling in slow motion, data seemed to appear out of thin air.
'Ball drop height...'
'Wind speed factor...'
'The ball's spin...'
'Optimal swing angle...'
Then, seemingly seeing a certain point in time, Chen Anxia suddenly swung his racket at the falling tennis ball.
At the same time, Chen Anxia's supercomputing ability kicked in again, and a series of data appeared in his mind: "98% replication accuracy, ball speed estimated at 167 km/h..."
Immediately afterwards...
Bang!
As the powerful sound of a racket striking a tennis ball rang out, those around saw a golden beam of light rushing toward the opposing court at a speed they could barely see.
Among them, the tennis club members and players couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts, "What a fast serve!" after seeing Chen Anxia's serve.
This surprised them greatly, as they couldn't see the ball's trajectory.
This means that if they were facing this ball, they would basically be unable to return it and would score directly from Chen Anxia's serve.
As Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at the ball, a flicker of emotion appeared in his usually calm eyes.
Although the ball speed was too slow for Tezuka Kunimitsu, it was an unimaginable speed for a newcomer who had only been playing tennis for five days.
No, even for most members of the Seigaku Tennis Club, it's difficult to achieve such a fast serve speed.
As the captain of the Seigaku tennis club, Tezuka Kunimitsu knew that only Seigaku's regular players could serve at such a high speed.
Tezuka Kunimitsu never expected that Chen Anxia could serve with such speed.
