The Kansai Prefectural Tournament was going well for Shitenhouji, they were able to clear opponents after opponents with ease. 

"Game set and match! Shitenhouji! 6-1!" When the umpire shouted out the score, Kenya and Zaizen bumped fists with one another, it's the win for the Speed Star and Tensai! 

"Nice work." Shiraishi tapped their shoulders once, congratulating them for their hard work. Well, it wasn't that hard considering Zaizen was able to break down their skills with ease and Kenya chasing after everything with his godly speed. 

'Tennis looks fun...' She has never played tennis in her life but it looked fun and she would like to try it too. 

"It's as if they don't know how to play tennis..." Zaizen suddenly said. 

"Well, it's us that they are dealing with." Kenya answered him. 

"Newbies shouldn't even play tennis, no matter how much they practice, newbies will always be newbies if you haven't got the talents for it." Zaizen's words were loud enough for their opponent to hear. Obviously he said it on purpose and loud enough for them to hear. "It's boring to play against newbies."

She never minded Zaizen's words to others but hearing him say that put her off from asking any of them to teach her how to play tennis. She doesn't want to be seen as a newbie and be made fun of by anyone, especially Zaizen.

"Zaizen, don't be so mean." Shiraishi warned. 

"Che." 

Chinami looked down with a sad face; does that mean she shouldn't play tennis because she's a newbie? Were they saying no matter how much a person practice, it's all down to their exceptional talent at the end of the day? She usually wouldn't mind what Zaizen would say but she's a little put off by his words.

"Chinami, we're going now." Zaizen called out for her. 

Chinami heard him loud and clear. What did she do? Walked on without responding to him. 

"Hm?" Zaizen wondered what was wrong with her...


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The next day in school, Zaizen definitely noticed something was wrong with Chinami. The more he tried to talk to her, the more she will avoid him. He can't understand what he did to make her ignore him like that because she was too embarrassed to tell him what her problem with him was. Why was she embarrassed? Because she's bothered about something that shouldn't be that upsetting for an average person.

"Chinami-" 

"Ah! Uh...I think Shiraishi-buchou just called me, see you!" She ran away from him again. If she had turned around just once she will be able to see a sad expression on his face.

"Woah! Nee-chan ran away from Zaizen!" Kintarou has never seen such a sight before! It's the first time for him to see such a thing! He looked up at the sky to see if pigs were flying today; he was told that if something he would never thought will happen happen in front of him, he will see be able to see pigs fly. "Where are the pigs?" 

"Okay, something is definitely wrong! What the hell was that?!" Kenya couldn't believe what he just saw! Chinami ignored Zaizen and even ran away from him! "What did you do?" 

"Chinami-han looked flustered. Whatever you did, Zaizen-han, you need to take responsibility for it." Gin said, full of reasons and wisdom as usual...

"I didn't do anything. Believe me, I would love to know what I did too, she has been like this ever since morning." He started to tell Kenya the way how Chinami would refuse to respond to him with a 'hmph' noise and how she would run away from him like the wind. "I didn't do anything."
