"Oh! Kuniyoshi! The silent assassin from Shirayuki High!"

"As expected from a senior player, he knows how to fight with soft power!"

"Hey, hey, is this similar to how Kobayashi-kun from Tsunemori High usually did?"

Chatters and whispers were hanging in the air, giving Kuniyoshi, Shirayuki High's lone hero, the spotlight he deserved. Of course, while most topics revolved around praising the boy, there were some people on the stand who had a different thought, and one of those groups was the Tsunemori team, who sat in the top section of the stand. They all stared at Kuniyoshi with eyes full of vigilance while sometimes also glancing sideways at their friend and kouhai, Yuki.

Of course, Yuki knew what they had in their mind right now. It should be that they wanted to hear his opinion, as Kuniyoshi had the same playbook as him when he was behind the service line. Even though it was just the accuracy play and not including his other arsenal like floater serve, sidespin serve, or even his jump serve, this alone was enough to put Kuniyoshi above most of the pinch servers in this tournament. Still….

"Why are you guys acting like a teenage girl trying to steal a glance at her crush? If you want to ask something, just do it directly!" He clicked his tongue, showing his dissatisfaction with his friends.

Some of the Tsunemori players just scratched the back of their heads, a bit embarrassed that their intention was seen by Yuki. Ogawa himself frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with what Yuki just said before asking, "How do you know how a teenage girl acts around her crush? Do you have one who does the same to you?" His tone was full of suspicion.

Yuki's face turned pale immediately, cursing Ogawa for his unusual sharpness on this particular topic. Unfortunately, Riku, a traitor he was, chimed in before Yuki could say anything. "Hey, Senpai, don't you know that Yuki has already had a girlfriend~?"

"WHAT?!" All the attention now turned to the glasses boy, not caring about the game that had already been continuing down on the court. "You traitor! How could you betray us like this?! Where is your sense of brotherhood!" Ogawa cried indignantly.

"Brother, he hides his girlfriend from us, showing that he has long forgone his identity as a part of our brotherhood. I suggest that we cast him out of this and execute him in the next meeting." Kaede said solemnly, as if they were part of a cult.

Yuki himself had his mouth twitch, somehow starting to feel amused and irritated mixed in one. Of course, he didn't forget to send his fiercest glare toward Riku, the main perpetrator of this incident, who tried his best to look innocent here.

"Tell, me, Yuki." Okamura suddenly spoke with a solemn tone, forcing everyone to take him seriously. Even Yuki turned his attention to the libero, thinking that he should ask something serious here. Unfortunately, he put his hope too much on his senpai here, as the next question revealed the libero's intention straight away. "Who is your girlfriend? Is that the bombshell blonde in your classroom? Or is it someone else?"

Seeing all the eyes turned on him, Yuki could only sigh helplessly and tried to give his best aggravated face. "Senpai, you know that I put most of my mind on training and the rest of it on school. I am an orphan here, so I have to work hard to pave my way to the future. When will I have time to find a girlfriend? You are getting teased by Riku, and I, the innocent bystander, have to suffer from it." His tone showed that he was upset, and somehow, it worked, as most of the people here were ashamed of their behavior. Inwardly, Yuki just smiled at himself, praising the way he bailed out of the previous situation.

'As expected, the 'I am a poor orphan' card would always work against anyone else.'

Unfortunately, Riku, the man who liked to stab him in the back. Saw this clearly and didn't intend to let him go so easily. "Oh, don't get fooled by his appearance, Senpai. Yuki's girlfriend is Kato-chan, Megumi-senpai's little sister."

"SAY, WHAT?!" All the eyes that looked at him friendlier just a moment ago turned back into fierce ones, glaring daggers at Yuki. If stares could kill, Yuki would've been dead for the sixth time in a row by now. "How dare you defile the little goddess's innocence, Yuki?!" Kaede glared at the boy hatefully.

"Urgh… Senpai, mind your phrasing, please." Even Riku was speechless at how Kaede phrased it. Defiling a girl's innocence… Is that something that could be said to describe a high school boy dating a high school girl?

"Ah… Sorry, I am a bit careless, you know?" Kaede laughed sheepishly, trying to look innocent. "But the intention behind my question is clear! How dare you date our little goddess, Yuki?!" He turned the spotlight on Yuki again to avoid the spotlight.

"Yeah, Yuki, this is the little goddess that we are talking about! She is a forbidden fruit, you know?! A forbidden fruit!" Okamura added the fuel.

Yuki was too speechless to respond to that. He also didn't know how and since when did Kato have this nickname, little goddess? Was that related to the fact that she was Megumi's little sister? "Anyway!" He coughed, trying to divert the attention. "Speaking of Kuniyoshi-san…"

"Hey, no, you cannot change the topic like that!"

"Yeah, don't be a bastard, Yuki! Answer this question now!"

"Here, let me show you how I deal with a brat who likes to hide from his senpai!"

There was a bit of commotion for a moment here, attracting the other people's attention. After being scolded by the old man for distracting the others from the game, they finally stopped, looking a bit embarrassed. After all, they knew they just acted childishly here, and it was probably the first time in a long time that they had been scolded by an adult in public like this.

"So!" Riku finally coughed, trying to change the topic and get rid of the embarrassment before. "What do you think about Kuniyoshi-san, Yuki?" He asked.

Yuki just gave him a stinky glare, still feeling irritated for his friend who flamed the senpai to target him earlier. Still, since the commotion was over, he still decided to answer. "Well, while he is good and I didn't expect that he could replicate my service style to this extent, in the end, behind all the tricks, the service itself is an ordinary one, and just as you can see right now, when the trick is revealed, Shimo High would be able to deal with it perfectly."
