In the previous chapter:

"But the ball came my way! I don't care about what happened in middle school! I'm grateful for any toss that comes my way. I'll jump wherever I need to jump! I'll hit any ball! Believe me! Send the tosses my way!" Sho-chan makes a whole speech about being happy to get a toss, blah blah blah.

I froze into place as a thought came over my mind. I quickly rush over to them, grab their arms, and drag them, literally. I ignore Tobi-chan's 'Oi! let me go!'

Once I get to the back, I let them go and face them. "Can you both do any quick attacks?"

Two New Weapons:

Akira POV

"Quick?" Sho-chan tilts his head.

"A fast attack like the previous one!" I explain to him.

The background changed to a baby yellow as he said the next sentence innocently. "Not me. The only tosses I've ever hit were lobbed way up high."

"You almost did it!" I point out. I start ruffling my own hair trying to figure this situation.

Sho-chan must've noticed my distress and flashed me a huge smile. "I will hit any toss that is thrown at me! You'll see."

"I believe you, Sho-chan." I give him a soft smile.

As soon as I said that, his face turned 50 shades of red. Did I do that? I started by trying to calm him, but when that didn't work... Tobi-chan interrupted my work.

"You've never done combinations, so fast attacks are impossible." Once Tobi-chan said that, Sho-chan was then magically cured.

Sho-chan then started pointing finger at him. "You're acting weird! That's so wimpy, it's sick! It's weird!"

"Oh, shut up." Tobi-chan walks away from him.

Tsukishima cups up his hands around his mouth. I walk away from his talkative mouth before he can start. "That's not very kingly of you! Besides, the Empress hasn't shown full strength."

I halt right in my tracks. Damn, he can also read people. I thought I was covering it up. I glare at the beanpole.

Tobi-chan must've noticed my hesitation. "You haven't?" He questions.

"No."

"W-what does he mean full strength, Akira-san?" Sho-chan looks at me.

"It means that I haven't been playing with my all." I look him dead in the eye. "I have been holding back."

Tobi-chan got ticked off when he found that out. "Oi! Then don't hold back! We need everything we have to win!" He shouts at me.

"If I did use it, this game would have already been over!" I yell back him.

If I used my Empress Eye, I wouldn't let score one bit. My serves alone would demolish them. If I added my eye to that, I would predict where the ball would on the ground. Always predicting everything.

Sho-chan recoils from shock. "Already over?!"

"Mhm. You can ask Kei-chan or Testu-chan about it?" I point over to Kei-chan then towards the area where Testsu-chan is. "They know the most."

Sho-chan starts looking over to where I pointed. He looks left and right trying to locate my friend. I sweatdrop remembering why he can't find him. Why are you almost invisible? "Who's Testu-chan?"
