Too many people looking.

TOO MANY SCOUTS LOOKING AT OUR TRAINING!!!!

I can't. No. Just no.

It's break time right now so I'm just warming up by stretching. However, cameras are everywhere. Literally...EVERYWHERE I GO!!

After stretching for a while, I noticed Fuji-san and Kikumaru-san were leaving for the water fountains. I followed after them because I do not want to be alone with these many cameras.

Kikumaru-san and Fuji-san were washing their hands while talking to each other.

"The sushi we ate the other time was great, huh?"

"Yeah, I want to go back."

I noticed two people holding a camera inside the bushes. Fuji-san probably noticed it as well.

"The camera'a even following us during the break. Geez... I wonder how many scouts are here."

A lot, Kikumaru-san.

Fuji-san had a smile and said, "Let's see." He put his finger on the faucet and water splashed all over the bush where the camera was at.

The two people left after becoming soaking wet.

"Oh, quite a lot."

"I am sure Inui or someone is counting."

Of course. Leave it to the data master to count up how many scouts came to our school.

As we went back, Tezuka-san announced, "End of break!"

Everybody went back to the courts.

"Training is next for the Regulars. We don't have much time for the district game. Discipline yourself!"

"Yes!" We all yelled out.

I wonder how training should go like since Ryo-nii is the library rep. and will be late today.

Training started and since the match up wasn't even, I stood out until it became my turn.

I was waiting next to Tezuka-san while watching the others practice.

While watching, I could hear all the scouts talking about the Reulars.

"Wow, the snake!"
"He's Kaoru Kaidoh. The one who did the boomerang snake during the final Fudomine match."

"Hey, look! The Vice Captain, Oishi. And his opponent is Takeshi Kawamura of the Burning Serve!"

"WOW! This is Seigaku!"

I get the point that they would be interested in the Regulars but why do 49 scouts have to come here and observe or training?

"Who's that girl over there? I've never seen her before."
"Maybe she's the manager."
"But she's wearing the regular jersey. Does that mean she's a Regular?"
"No way, a girl?"

I am trying my best not to pay attention to the whispering going on about me.

If they want to know about me, then I'll show them who I am.

When it became my turn to train, I went against Momo-san.

As I got on the court, I could already hear the scouts going like, "Is this really part of their training?" Or, "I feel bad for the girl going up against a power player like Momoshiro."
