Taking off the blue ribbons, Ranfa allowed herself to use her Insight to the next level. She was as free as the petals dancing in the wind, and she was willing to destroy the opponent on the other side of the court. Weak or strong no longer mattered to her because as far as she was concerned, a person who uses a tennis racquet at a weapon should be humiliated in the worst possible way. 

Ranfa jumped for the ball and she performed a smash at Unoki's head. The ball bounced off his head and then Ranfa performed a Jack Knife and shot the ball toward Unoki's stomach. 

"Game, Hyotei! 2-3!" 

"That is gekokujyou at its finest..." Hiyoshi couldn't care less about the cross dressing Gakuto but he was very interested in the current match at the very moment. 

"It's really weird watching someone dress as me and play..." Gakuto muttered. 

"Mukahi, put a hand on the skirt, the wind is picking up..." Atobe said without looking at him, "When this match is over, I expect both you and Ranfa to trade clothes." 

"Y-yes..." 

"You really do look like Sakura-san. Minus the voice." Choutarou said to the smallest member of the team. 

"Huh? Shut up!" 

"Gakuto, are you wearing makeup?" Shishido asked him, "Finding the disguise too perfect to be true."

"...shut up." Gakuto kept his head down, "Ugh... I am so humiliated..." 

"How do you think Ranfa feels? She is out there playing your match, got hurt in the middle of it, looking like you, and forced to play a match against a weakling? If anything, just talking to the fish is a light punishment." Atobe can go on forever but he doesn't want spend most of her match to lecture Gakuto, "Just shut up and talk to the fish." 

"Y-yes sir..." 

"She is really doing well destroying him." Shishido was looking at the match with pride; he can finally see the fruits of her hard work and he was very proud of her. It was as if the girl who was upset about being kicked out of the club never existed at all. "Go and get him!" 

Ranfa got the point again, making Unoki stand there in confusion. Unoki tried to play rough but it doesn't work when she can see through his every moves. 

"Put your pride on the line, don't bore me." Ranfa said to him, "Come at me, this is a battle between men." The cherry blossom petals danced within the wind, flowing here and there without a care. 

"You... You're a monster!" Unoki screamed at her, "Who on earth are you?!" 

"You're the real monster here. Using a tennis racquet to hurt me? You are 100 years too early to do such a thing to me, I am going to make you grovel at the ground." She pointed her racquet at him, declaring a battle, "Stand! I am not done with you yet!" 

"She doesn't need to take off her ribbons at all. That guy is so weak." Hiyoshi said to Oshitari. 

"That is true but you know what she is like, Hiyoshi... If you strike her, she will give it back to you ten fold..." Oshitari smirked, "She really is interesting, Sakura Ranfa..."

"Game, set! Hyotei! 6-2!" The umpire announced that the first win in Singles 3 belonged to Hyotei. It was an easy win from the very start but she dragged it painfully long to humiliate Unoki in the worse possible way. 

"You..."Unoki couldn't believe he has lost! "What the hell are you?!" 

Ranfa didn't bother shaking hands with the annoyed vice captain, she rest the head of the racquet on her shoulder, "I am part of Hyotei." She returned to the team and she high fived and fist bumped the team. "I'll leave the rest to you guys." She said to Shishido and Jirou.
