'I don't like to force a lady to do something she doesn't consent to but I don't have a choice...' Oshitari thought to himself as the rally continued between them. 

'Why do I have a feeling he is thinking about something serious about this match but it somehow turned out sounding really wrong?' Ranfa sent the ball back to the other side of the court. However, the moment she looked at the Tensai, she noticed something has changed. 'Oh? What's this? Seems like he is serious... Insight won't work on him at this point.' 

"You figured me out?" Oshitari was able to take the game, making it 3-2. 

"You're allowing me to figure you out?" 

"I don't mind if it's a nice little lady like you." 

"You realize I don't like it when a strong opponent let me win... I like to take the win myself." 

"What a headstrong girl you are..." Oshitari couldn't help but chuckle; she's cute when she's showing others that she was not to be underestimated. 

When the game resumed, Ranfa can see that Insight will no longer work on Oshitari since he has closed his mind off. 

Whenever Oshitari decided to close his mind off, he's sealing the possibility for his opponents to read what he will do next. In other words, there's no way to predict what he will do next. This move was effective especially on people with good sense of Insight because Insight cannot read people who has closed off their minds. 

"Game, Oshitari! 4-2!" 'What is this? It's as if Sakura can't read Oshitari...' Hiyoshi thought as he watched them change court. 

"Oshitari-senpai, really is a pain in the ass... I don't feel like losing today," When she said that, she started pulling out the ribbons out of her hair. 

"Hmm~, you look better with your hair down." He has finally got her to take off what seemed like limiters to her. He felt a sense of pride there because it meant he's on par with Atobe now. 

"Oshitari-senpai, you better not regret it..." She pointed the racquet at him, "From this moment onward, your game count will remain at 4." She announced it like it's an absolute order. 

Oshitari felt a sense of excitement; this girl has announced openly to challenge him. He found that part about her very attractive. 

"And who am I to not accept your challenge, Sakura?" He served the ball to her, starting a rally with her. As expected, Ranfa really does look pretty with her hair down. 

He decided that he will defy the absolute order and prove to her that he can make the game count go to the final point and take the win from her. 

"Yuushi... He is serious." Gakuto can see that his Doubles partner was serious about the match. He couldn't find it in himself to cheer for either of them because he would feel bad about it. 'Whenever Yuushi is serious, he will attack for sure. The moment he closes his heart, he will attack relentlessly...' 

Ranfa couldn't care less if the Tensai closed off his mind or his heart because she's only focusing on the win in front of her. She's not in a position to complain or anything because simply doesn't feel like losing. 

As the game progressed, both sides has been scoring...

"Game, Sakura, 4-3."

"15-15."

"15-30."
