"Here...freeze!" With only half of her strength, she's only able to see a few of her opponent's dead angle. However, now that she let her charms out, her view of the dead angels were greatly expanded. "It's been a while since I let my true powers out! I feel great!"  

"Game! Sakura! 4-4!" 

Atobe Keigo was amazed by Ranfa's skills and the way she unleashed her true strength without hesitation.

It was as if the girl on the other side of the court went into a mysterious zone and powered up greatly! Atobe's interest in her was growing so much as well. 

'You're really amazing, Sakura Ranfa...it's because you're so amazing, it makes Ore-sama want to defeat you!' Atobe didn't think that she would power up that much after pulling off those blue ribbons. What were they? Some kind of charm that sealed her true potential? Were they for real? He always thought they were cute accessories that made her Sakura Ranfa.

"Freeze! Shatter!" She returned a shot at Atobe's dead angle again. 'Each icicle I see on your side of the court is your dead angle. No matter how much you struggle, you can't do a thing if I break it.'

'This feeling...just what is your insight showing you, Little Kitten? Can it be possible your Insight reached a level that surpasses Ore-sama's?' Atobe was unable to return the shots that she sent to him. It was as if his whole body froze without the chance of fighting back; it was as if the world on his side of the court froze...

"Atobe-senpai, I've never lost a match before..." She suddenly said to him, "I have no idea what losing is like...and I have no intention of losing to Senpai! Not in a million years!" She declared with eyes that contained a certain fire that Atobe liked. 

"Little Kitten, the King has no intention of losing either!" 

The two of them kept a high speed rally up. Within the long-paced game, sweat can be seen from them, you can literally see their need to win from the amount they were sweating out. 

"Game! Sakura! 4-5!"

"Is Atobe really going to lose against Ranfa?!" Gakuto asked Oshitari. 

"The two of them are at each other's throat, literally!" Oshitari has never seen a girl play as good at Ranfa before, "Sakura is at her full strength, her play style is so perfect that Atobe doesn't have a chance to fight back..." 

"Then..." Shishido's eyes never left the court, his eyes were on Sakura Ranfa. 'Is that really the same girl who is usually writing in her notebook?' 

"Is this Gekokujyou?" Hiyoshi was impressed by this and he too decided that he will someday play a game where Ranfa will take off her ribbons too.

The regulars watched as Ranfa served her nameless serve at Atobe. 

"0-15!"

'This is his limit...' Ranfa served another nameless serve at him.

"0-30!" 

"Sorry, Atobe-senpai..." The ball was thrown high up into the air, "Stand down, King of Hyotei." Her racquet met the ball and another nameless serve came at Atobe Keigo. 

"Arn? Stand down?" 

The ball bounced twice and rolled off behind Ranfa. What just happened? She should have reacted to it! 

No...

She was unable react to it because she never thought something like her serve being returned was even possible.
