♫08♫ Tactic fail

Ranfa made it to the match ground of the Kantou Tournament. She went there pretty early so she can inspect the court herself. 

'In tennis, it is very important to be able to match your play according to the type of the court. The ball's bounce will vary depending on the court so it is important to match your strength in accordance to the court. I know the others would probably be able to play once they get here but if I tell them the court they are playing on beforehand, it will get them mentally and physically prepared straight away.' Ranfa took out her notebook and started to write away, 'Since I am not the one playing, this is what I can do for those dopey idiots...' She was calling them idiots because she received 7 messages from 7 individuals asking if she would like to be walked to the match ground but she sent them all a text that it's her responsibility to get there before they do so they should warm up before they make it here. 

"It sure is lively over there..." Ranfa muttered to herself as she heard Seigaku's lively conversation. She overheard them saying something about Oishi helping out a pregnant woman; what were the odds of that happening? That excuse was a classic 'why I am late' excuse after all...

Ranfa can see the students and the 200 members of the club started to make their way to the bleachers to watch the upcoming match. She can feel the girls giving her death glares but she's too busy greeting the non-regulars to even give a crap.

The non-regulars were asking her of questions and so on and she answered them like a bank full of knowledge.

"Hey there~!" 

Ranfa turned to see a boy with a plaster on his right cheek. 

'He's Seigaku's Kikumaru Eiji. An acrobatic player like Mukahi-senpai...' "Hey." 

"Are these boys overwhelming you? Would you like to come over to our side?" Kikumaru asked Ranfa. 

"Hahaha, thanks for the offer but I am actually Hyotei's-" Before Ranfa can answer Kikumaru, her mouth was covered by Mukahi's hand and she was hugged backwards by a single arm.

"What are you doing talking to Hyotei's Blue Flower?!" Mukahi looked at Kikumaru with eyes filled with jealousy; how dare the other acrobatic player talk to someone belonging to the team? Who does he think he was? 

Kikumaru was called back by Tezuka and he was forced out of the sudden confrontation. The moment he was gone, Mukahi gawked because Ranfa elbowed him in the lower stomach. 

"Ack! That hurts!" 

"That's for cutting me off in a middle of talking! Would it kill you to speak to others with manners?!" 

"Ranfa, you are so harsh..." 

"Get up! You're playing in Doubles 2, Mukahi-senpai. Are the others here too?" She looked ahead and saw Atobe walking towards the match ground with the others. "Line up with them, Mukahi-senpai. Go, go, go!" 

The announcement was over and done with and the match between Oshitari-Mukahi pair will go up against a newly formed pair which consisted of Kikumaru-Momoshiro pair. 

Before the two of them went ahead to the court, they listened to Ranfa's advice and tips to win. 

"That girl seems to be their manager..." Inui said to the team. 

"She is pretty cute." Fuji said with the usual smile.

"Sakura Ranfa is her name. Her tennis style focuses on tactical thinking." Inui looked into his notebook, "She is a tennis player who takes down others by using tactics that's formulated by observations. She also has a serve that has yet to be returned by anyone."
