Atobe called all of the classes to gather outside of the school ground. Why? Because he will make a very important announcement from the rooftop with a megaphone. He will get his messages across and he will take out all those who dared to oppose him.

"I will only say this once so you all better listen up!"

"I'll leave you to rest now. You have an operation and I don't want to disturb that." Just as he was about to leave, Ranfa caught his right hand.

"Senpai, wait."

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I said a lie. I don't hate you, I can never hate you." Her hold on him was tight because she didn't want him to leave her again."I said I hated you because I wanted to hurt you at the time. When I did that, I ended up hurting myself." 'If I can't return to those days where I can be the manager, I want to at least maintain something...' She thought to herself. "When I thought about how it made me sad, I wondered how you would feel. Not that you would care or anything, I wanted to apologize to you."

"You have no idea how happy I am to hear how you feel."

"You are?"

"It means a lot to me." Atobe pulled her into a hug with his free arm. He was happy to know that she does not hate him...

"From this moment on, if I anyone dares to touch Sakura Ranfa... Whether you are a boy or a girl, I will crush you with everything I have!" This announcement was a wake up call to the bullies and he made it very clear that Ranfa will not be touched by them from now on. "The 1st year freshman who stole her tennis racquet has already been expelled, if you want to end up like her then you are welcome to oppose my words!" Once he made his announcement, Atobe caused a tidal wave of fangirls to question his words.

"Atobe-sama, who is that girl to you?!"

"Yeah! She is a nobody!"

"She's not even worthy for you!"

"Arn? Who are you to decide that? Ore-sama is the one to decide who is worthy in his eyes, people like you doesn't have the rights to choose!" Atobe was not going to have anyone hurt Ranfa. He doesn't care if he's hated at the end of the day, he just wanted to protect the blue flower he cared deeply about...

Atobe got off the stage and clicked his fingers, telling everyone to leave and go back to their classes and continue as usual.

After the big announcement, Atobe Keigo was nowhere to be found. He also hasn't been coming to the tennis club so no one really know what he's thinking about.

"I can't believe Atobe would make a huge announcement like that, Yuushi!"

"I know. Atobe really took it to his own hands..."

"It makes me feel bad that no one else but him can make everyone stop what they're doing." Gakuto thought Atobe was amazing, so amazing that sometimes he would think Atobe's so perfect that he can have anyone if he set his eyes on them.

Seeing that his good friend was clearly sad, Oshitari comforted him.

"A woman's heart doesn't love a man because of their power but their hearts. Just because Atobe is amazing, it doesn't mean she will choose him."
