A girl would usually cheer for him and scream at his pressence. The tennis players from the girl's club wouldn't dare to ask him for a match because it would seem disrespectful to face off with the king. The female captain was so angry with Ranfa because she was being disrespectful and Atobe even agreed to have a match with her! 

"Who does that Sakura girl think she is!" 

"Yeah!" 

"Rei-senpai, you do not have a moustache!" 

"Shut up about it!" Rei secretly reminded herself that she needed to make sure her upper lip hair was not noticeable as soon as possible!

After Atobe bathed himself within the Hyotei chant, he's ready to have a game of tennis. 

"Senpai, let's have a wager! If I win, let me become the manager for your team." Ranfa smiled at Atobe Keigo, excited of the match. 

They're using the girl's court because it was much closer. Both clubs were interested in the match because it was not something that can be witnessed every day; Atobe going up against a girl. The boys can't see Ranfa winning and the girls can't see Ranfa winning either; Atobe's the best of the best within their school! Going up against him was literally asking a ticket to hell itself!

"'Senpai'? You sure are formal..." Girls refer to him as 'Atobe-sama', she's the only girl to refer to him as 'Senpai' and it was something new for him. 

"If I win, will you grant my wish?" 

"Arn? Why don't I just grant your wish right now? There's nothing Ore-sama can't do." 

"What?! You are going to bring a girl in?!" Shishido shouted from the bleacher, "It's already bad enough you have fangirls, you don't need to bring one into the club!" 

"Shut up, Shishido." "Shut up, Senpai." Both Atobe and Ranfa told Shishido to shut up at the same time. 

"Where were we?" Atobe asked her, "Ah, why don't I just make you the manager right now? Arn?" 

"'There's no such thing as a free meal', my mom taught me that. Oh, and dad said if someone DOES give you free stuff, you need to watch out. So I would rather earn it from you." 

Atobe found the small pink haired girl interesting and he passed her a tennis ball, letting her serve first. 

The regulars watched her bounce the ball a couple of times. 

"Yuushi, is Atobe gonna go easy on her?" Mukahi asked.

"Of course. It is wrong to destroy a lady after all." It's rare to see a girl as Atobe's opponent but Oshitari knew for a fact that Atobe tend to go much easier on the ladies.

Ranfa threw the ball up in the air and hit the ball toward Atobe's side of the court. The ball landed but it did not bounce at all; Atobe watched the ball rapidly spin down the court, much to his surprise. 

'That...' Atobe looked at her to see a confident smile on her face. 

"Did kitty scratch the king then?" 

"Atobe didn't return that..." Shishido was shocked that a girl was able to hit a serve like that! A serve that Atobe couldn't return! From a girl!

The umpire announced the first score going to Ranfa, 0-15. 

"Senpai, how was it?" 

"I have to admit, Ore-sama is impressed." 

"Senpai is impressed? Hahaha! That is so cool! Is it okay if I were to win this game with my serve alone?"
